Serving as a Jinyiwei, starting from plundering the swordsmanship talent

Chapter 254 Is this proof enough? Divine power is like a prison.
Xie Ling'er didn't want to be separated from Ye Liuyun.

The Xie family's brothel is located on their own territory, meaning that it will be difficult to meet Ye Liuyun again for at least a year or two.

If the feelings fade by then, I'm afraid I'll have nothing left.

Xie Ling'er was quite clear about what was more important.

"That's it!"

Seeing Xie Ling'er and Ye Liuyun being so intimate, Xie Fenghao nodded but didn't say anything more.

Actually.

Xie Fenghao made this suggestion because he wanted to see if he could use Xie Ling'er's connections to bring Ye Liuyun to his territory.

If Xie Ling'er is transferred to the main family's Fanlou, Ye Liuyun might come along with her.

But now it seems I was too hasty.

but.

Xie Fenghao was not disappointed by this.

"Hahaha! It was my fault for not thinking things through!"

Instead of showing any regret, he smiled and said...

"It was my fault for almost breaking you two up. Here's what we'll do: you can stay in Daqian. But if you need anything, you can go directly to the patriarch's treasury."

"I'll give the orders, and you can just go there when the time comes!"

Upon hearing this, Xie Ling'er's pupils visibly contracted!

"this,,"

Others may not know, but as a member of the Xie family, Xie Ling'er is well aware of the Xie family's treasures.

It contains all the precious treasures that the Xie family has collected since its founding.

Many of these are extremely useful, even for martial artists at the Grandmaster level.

Even members of the family do not have the right to freely enter the treasure vault and select treasures.

I never expected Xie Fenghao to be so willing to part with it.

"Thank you, Master!"

Xie Ling'er knew that all of this was because of Ye Liuyun, so she didn't refuse and nodded in agreement.

"Hahahaha!"

Xie Fenghao waved his hand dismissively, then smiled and led Ye Liuyun and Xie Ling'er into the mansion.

"Don't thank me. You are a rising star of the Xie family, and the family will never forget your contributions!"

Xie Ling'er simply smiled and nodded occasionally in response to these compliments.

Some things are best left unsaid, just listened to.

Xie Ling'er wasn't stupid, so she naturally wouldn't show any smugness or overconfidence because of a few words.

,,,

along the way.

Xie Fenghao was intentionally or unintentionally striking up conversations with Ye Liuyun, acting as if they were exceptionally familiar with each other.

On one hand, they wanted to win over Ye Liuyun; on the other hand, they also wanted to test Ye Liuyun's actual strength, since they had only heard about the title of "Young Grandmaster" from others.

In addition, Ye Liuyun does indeed look incredibly young.

I'd feel uneasy if I didn't see it for myself.

"Homeowner!"

Just as Ye Liuyun arrived at the backyard.

Then they saw two elderly men who looked rather old waiting for them.

Upon seeing Xie Fenghao, he immediately addressed him with a respectful tone.

Then he turned his attention to Ye Liuyun and Xie Ling'er, but he was mostly looking at Ye Liuyun.

It seems they have already heard something from Xie Fenghao.

"You must be the young grandmaster, Ye Liuyun!"

One of the elders suddenly spoke to Ye Liuyun in a rather arrogant tone.

"It doesn't look very good. Could it just be a rumor circulating in the martial arts world?"

"Young people these days don't really think they can achieve anything just because they have some talent. They might boast that they're grandmasters, but in reality, they probably don't even know what the words 'grandmaster' mean!"

while talking.

His gaze continued to sweep over Ye Liuyun, his contemptuous attitude fully displayed at this moment.

"you,,"

Xie Ling'er stands beside Ye Liuyun.

Upon hearing what the other party said, Ye Liuyun immediately wanted to stand up and say something.

But before we can say anything...

Xie Fenghao stepped forward first.

"Enough! Brother Ye is my honored guest. How dare you treat him with such contempt?"

His expression was serious, and he even looked somewhat annoyed, seemingly genuinely displeased by what the other party had said about Ye Liuyun.

"Homeowner!"

The old man's expression remained unchanged.

He still stubbornly spoke to Xie Fenghao.

"I'm just worried that the head of the family might be deceived by some unscrupulous juniors."

"There are plenty of treacherous people in the martial world, patriarch, don't let your eyes be blinded!"

Hear this.

Xie Fenghao seemed even more furious, his fists clenched, and the aura of a mid-stage Grandmaster was emanating from him at this moment.

"enough!"

"Brother Ye would never be that kind of person!"

"Stop talking!"

Although the other party fell silent, they seemed genuinely intimidated by Xie Fenghao's imposing aura.

But the look in her eyes as she looked at Ye Liuyun still carried a hint of dissatisfaction, clearly showing her resentment.

",,,"

Interesting.

Ye Liuyun didn't say anything from beginning to end.

Seeing Xie Fenghao so protective of him, Ye Liuyun smiled slightly.

This charade is quite interesting.

If he were really just a greenhorn fresh out of school, he would probably have been fooled.

Pity.

Seeing that Xie Fenghao seemed about to speak up for him, Ye Liuyun spoke first, looking at the old man and saying,

"Since you put it that way, should I prove it to you?"

Upon hearing this, the old man's eyes brightened slightly, and even Xie Fenghao, who had originally wanted to say something, had a flicker in his eyes.

“Brother Ye, there’s no need for that. I certainly trust you.”

This resolute stance seemed to indicate that she genuinely believed in Ye Liuyun.

"If you can prove it, that would be even better!"

The old man, however, immediately chimed in with a comment.

The look in his eyes as he looked at Ye Liuyun clearly still carried a hint of doubt.

"Okay!"

Think of proof?

Ye Liuyun naturally wouldn't refuse.

Meeting the old man's suspicious gaze, Ye Liuyun spread his hands and said with a smile.

"Is this proof enough?"

"boom!"

The moment the words fell, an immense aura of power and intimidation erupted from Ye Liuyun's body.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

A sudden gust of wind swept through the quiet backyard.

The floor and the surrounding area began to crack inch by inch under this force, and even the originally clear sky suddenly became covered with dark clouds.

Grandmasters can already mobilize a certain amount of the power of heaven and earth.

Even if it's not a huge amount, it's still quite easy to affect the weather.

Ye Liuyun clearly restrained his aura, mainly targeting the old man who had spoken.

"You still haven't answered me? Is this proof enough?"

As he spoke the last word, the power emanating from Ye Liuyun increased even further.

"Pfft!"

The old man, who had been able to hold on, suddenly knelt down on the ground with a thud.

Veins popped out on his forehead.

This awe-inspiring, prison-like sight left the opponent with no ability to resist.

For a while.

The powerful aura filled the sky above the entire Xie family mansion, causing many people to feel a sinking feeling in their hearts and a strange sense of unease.

"what is this?"

"What's going on? I feel like I'm being watched by a tiger!"

"hiss!"

",,,"

Just as the old man's face was clearly turning red from holding his breath...

Xie Fenghao seemed to have just realized what was happening and quickly said to Ye Liuyun.

"Enough! Enough! Brother Ye, please calm down. He already knows he was wrong!"

Ye Liuyun didn't press the matter further. He calmed down and looked at the old man, who was clearly relieved and adjusting his breathing. He then looked at Xie Fenghao beside him.

"But why do I feel like he's still a little unconvinced?"

"Brother Ye, don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation!"

talking.

Xie Fenghao turned around and looked at the old man with a serious expression.

“I told you long ago that Brother Ye is my honored guest. How dare you treat him with such contempt? For the next three years, you are not allowed to step out of the Xie family’s house. In the same way, all the resources that the Xie family originally gave you during these three years will be transferred to Brother Ye!”

Done.

He then turned his gaze back to Ye Liuyun. "Brother Ye, if you see anything you like at the auction later, just let me know. If you can calm down, I'd be willing to give you everything in the auction!"

have to say.

Xie Fenghao is really willing to spend money.

Since they were able to say this out loud, it's clear they weren't just putting on a show.

"Brother Xie, what are you saying? How could I possibly blame you!"

The martial arts world is not just about fighting and killing; it also involves human relationships and social interactions.

"Since Brother Xie has said so, then I won't stand on ceremony!"

Hear this.

Xie Fenghao clearly looked relieved.

"Brother Ye, please don't stand on ceremony with me!"

It would be better if he didn't stand on ceremony. If Ye Liuyun were to act so politely, Xie Fenghao really wouldn't know what to say for a moment.

There's still some time before the auction starts.

Xie Fenghao immediately ordered his men to arrange a good room for Ye Liuyun so that she could rest for a while.

Watching Ye Liuyun and Xie Ling'er's departing figures.

Xie Fenghao's expression gradually changed, and a somewhat ferocious smile began to appear on his face.

Even the old man who had just been kneeling on the ground stood up.

There was no longer any arrogance in his eyes, but rather excitement.

"There's no mistake, this aura definitely belongs to a Grandmaster!"

"No!"

Another elderly man who had been silent until now also raised his head with a wise look and spoke.

"It's not just a Grandmaster. A normal Grandmaster wouldn't make you kneel down just by their aura. This is a mid-stage Grandmaster, and this stable aura is not something someone who has just entered the mid-stage of Grandmaster!"

These two elderly men are no ordinary people.

Instead, they were elders of the Xie family.

In other words, the other two Grandmasters in the Xie family besides Xie Fenghao were at the early stage.

When one of the elders knelt down, it wasn't an act. Ye Liuyun hadn't held back at all. Given the current difference in their cultivation levels, his powerful aura was enough to leave any martial artist with a lower cultivation level with no chance of resistance.

The Second Elder, who had been somewhat excited, turned noticeably red-faced upon hearing this.

He craned his neck and looked over.

"How do you know I'm not faking it? If I didn't kneel down, how could this situation be resolved?"

"whispering sound!"

Upon hearing this rebuttal, the Third Elder simply rolled his eyes at the other party.

After so many years together, surely you know what kind of person they are? Even though today's incident was a deliberate test, it still turned into this whole mess.

But if it's not something that can't be resisted.

At most, the Second Elder would pretend to be outmatched and stagger back two steps, rather than kneeling down directly.

"you,,"

"All right!"

In the end, Xie Fenghao waved his hand, interrupting this pointless argument.

Xie Fenghao didn't want to waste time on such an argument.

Clearly, Xie Fenghao had arranged for the Second Elder and Third Elder to be here in advance.

"No matter what, we can now confirm that Ye Liuyun is indeed a Grandmaster, and not just a beginner, but a mid-stage Grandmaster like me!"

Actually, Xie Fenghao was a little unsure when he said this.

Although Ye Liuyun's imposing aura wasn't directed at anyone, it still made Xie Fenghao's palms sweat a little.

That feeling.

It's as if if it really came down to a fight, I would definitely not be a match for him.

You have to understand, I've been immersed in the mid-stage Grandmaster realm for many years.

Are all young people these days monsters? How exactly do they cultivate themselves?

But anyway.

Knowing Ye Liuyun's cultivation level, Xie Fenghao felt more confident.

Upon hearing this, the Third Elder, too lazy to argue with the Second Elder, raised his head and looked at Xie Fenghao.

"His behavior just now must have shown that he guessed our double act, but he still went along with it, which means he doesn't want to be enemies with the Xie family!"

"Isn't that a matter of course?"

Before Xie Fenghao could say anything, the Second Elder continued.

"This is the Xie family's territory. Even if he's a mid-stage Grandmaster, does he really dare to kill me?"

"Since you're already kneeling down, don't say such things!"

Although they are all elders of the family, it doesn't mean that their daily interactions will be like those of brothers.

Look at how calmly the Third Elder spoke these words.

This is clearly not the first time they've said this.

"What do you mean? If you're so capable, then come at me! I want to see if you can withstand this!"

I can't resist it, just as you can.

We're about evenly matched.

The Second Elder didn't believe that if even he couldn't withstand Ye Liuyun's power, the Third Elder could.

"Ah!"

It would be strange if the Three Elders fell for such a low-level provocation.

After giving a disdainful laugh, he didn't even bother to look at the Third Elder again.

",,,"

This situation left Xie Fenghao, the head of the family, speechless.

Oh well, it's not like I've seen it before.

"Cough cough!"

He cleared his throat and steered the conversation back on track.

"In any case, I think you all know what such a young mid-stage Grandmaster represents!"

",,,"

Hear this.

The Second Elder and the Third Elder both fell silent.

They're not stupid. In fact, none of those who can cultivate to the level of Grandmaster are stupid.

"He has the potential to become a terrestrial immortal!"

The Third Elder couldn't help but say something with a touch of wistfulness.

The Second Elder, who was standing to the side, did not refute this.

In this world, no one dares to say that they can definitely break through to the realm of a terrestrial immortal.

Over the years, I've seen many young talents, but someone of Ye Liuyun's age with such cultivation is truly unheard of.

"Even if you're not a terrestrial immortal, breaking through to the Grandmaster level shouldn't be a problem!"

"What a pity, if only we were from the Xie family!"

The Second Elder, who was standing nearby, also sighed in agreement.

Land immortals are truly rare in this world.

To reach that level, one cannot rely solely on secluded cultivation; the right timing, location, and people are all indispensable. Even if one has sufficient talent, no one dares to say that they can definitely break through to that level.

But even if one cannot reach the level of a terrestrial immortal.

However, Xie Fenghao and the others would have absolutely no doubt that Ye Liuyun could break through to the Grandmaster Perfection level.

"Nothing to be sorry for!"

Xie Fenghao also hoped that such a genius could emerge from his family.

But it won't cause any negative emotions.

After shaking his head, he spoke directly.

"Since Ye Liuyun saw through this 'play,' yet still agreed, it must be beneficial for him to befriend the Xie family. Or perhaps..."

Speaking of which.

Xie Fenghao paused for a moment, and the smile on his face became even wider.

"After all, they're young, so maybe they care more about 'beauty'!"

The beauty Xie Fenghao was referring to was clearly Xie Ling'er.

At their age, beauty and such things are no longer important; self-interest is the most important thing.

But Ye Liuyun is still young.

Perhaps being more temperamental is understandable.

"If that's what the patriarch says, then that little girl named Xie Ling'er seems to be even more important!"

So calculate it this way.

If the Xie family wanted to befriend Ye Liuyun, then Xie Ling'er would be an indispensable link.

"Don't worry, I know what to do!"

He noticed that both elders were looking at him.

Xie Fenghao smiled confidently.

If Xie Fenghao didn't even know how to handle this simple matter, he wouldn't have been able to lead the Xie family from an ordinary family to its current status.

"Since the patriarch says so, then we can rest assured!"

"If there is anything you need, please just say the word, Patriarch!"

The two elders clearly trusted Xie Fenghao, so they didn't have any doubts and immediately agreed.

The Second Elder's face did not show any anger because of the 'kneeling' incident.

They're all from the Xie family; everything they do is for the family's benefit.

Therefore, being able to secure a better future for the family is nothing more than losing face.

"rest assured!"

Xie Fenghao smiled confidently.

Although I have tried to recruit mid-stage Grandmasters before, they had all exhausted their potential and could not advance any further.

not to mention.

If Ye Liuyun really gets together with Xie Ling'er and has a son, then he'll be considered half a member of the Xie family, practically one of our own!
