Serving as a Jinyiwei, starting from plundering the swordsmanship talent

Chapter 269 The Chamber of Commerce was robbed? They're really bold!

"No, no need!"

This gave Sheng Lanzhi a glimmer of hope.

But it quickly faded away.

Ye Liuyun might indeed have a solution, but Sheng Lanzhi wasn't sure if he would be willing to offend a celestial being just to help her.

after all.

In terms of status, she was not like these girls who wholeheartedly cared for Ye Liuyun.

Sheng Lanzhi is not the kind of person who likes to depend on others.

Therefore, Sheng Lanzhi always felt that only by demonstrating her value and showing a side worthy of being valued by others could she gain a status in this household.

Now his chamber of commerce is about to disappear.

His source of confidence was about to disappear. Perhaps Ye Liuyun would simply kick him out of the mansion!
"it does not matter!"

Although the resentment was still hard to hide in his eyes.

But Sheng Lanzhi shook her head and forced a smile as she spoke.

"The chamber of commerce is gone, so be it. I've been a bit tired lately, so this is a good opportunity to take a good rest. Besides, since I was able to start the chamber of commerce once, starting it again should be a piece of cake!"

"Besides, Master is usually so busy, so I won't trouble him."

",,,"

Looking at Sheng Lanzhi like this.

Xing'er and the others around them exchanged hostile glances.

None of them were fools; they could naturally see the forced smile on Sheng Lanzhi's face. However, they didn't have any practical way to help her.

Aside from watching with worried expressions, there was nothing else she could do.

And just as the atmosphere quieted down.

Outside the courtyard, Ye Liuyun's voice suddenly rang out.

How can you be so sure that this kind of thing is a hassle for me?

Upon hearing this voice, the previously silent atmosphere instantly dissipated, and Xing'er and the others' beautiful eyes lit up as they immediately stood up.

"Husband!"

"master!"

Meeting the girls' surprised gazes, Ye Liuyun simply smiled and waved his hand.

Leading Xie Ling'er into the courtyard, they saw Sheng Lanzhi's surprised yet somewhat restrained gaze.

Clearly, Sheng Lanzhi really wanted to ask Ye Liuyun for help, but she was unsure whether Ye Liuyun would help her.

"You're finally back!"

Shu Fan went straight up to Ye Liuyun, his eyes filled with undisguised affection.

He waved his hand.

Ye Liuyun found a seat and sat down.

"Alright, tell me, what exactly happened while I was away?"

As he spoke, Ye Liuyun looked around and finally his gaze settled on Sheng Lanzhi.

The others in the courtyard also looked at Sheng Lanzhi, since the incident happened to her, and it was best for her, as the person directly involved, to speak.

"I,,"

Sheng Lanzhi hesitated for a long time before finally forcing a smile and saying.

"No, it's nothing. It's just that the Chamber of Commerce has encountered some problems recently, but it's nothing serious!"

"But,,"

Seeing Sheng Lanzhi say this, Qu Sisi, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but want to say something.

The Chamber of Commerce is about to be snatched away by someone else; this is no small problem.

However, he hadn't finished speaking yet.

"is it?"

Seeing the flourishing orchid, Ye Liuyun nodded in agreement.

"In that case, that's perfect. It's getting late, and you must be tired from your journey. Go boil some water for me!"

Ye Liuyun seemed to genuinely believe Sheng Lanzhi's statement that everything was alright.

They didn't delve into this issue further.

Instead, he got up and did some simple stretching.

"that,,"

Qu Sisi wanted to say something more, but Xing'er stopped her.

Xing'er had been by Sheng Lanzhi's side the longest, and she knew very well what kind of person Sheng Lanzhi was. There were some things that Sheng Lanzhi, given her personality, would not be able to say directly in front of so many people.

"I'll go and have someone boil water for my husband!"

With that, Xing'er immediately pulled Qu Sisi away.

Shu Fan and the others chattered excitedly around Ye Liuyun, asking him what had happened during his trip to the Xie Clan Chamber of Commerce.

Sheng Lanzhi stood to the side.

Seeing that Ye Liuyun didn't intend to investigate further, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

But he was also a little down. If it had happened to Xing'er and the others, Ye Liuyun would definitely not have let it go so easily. Instead, he would have gotten to the bottom of it and found out the truth.

Thinking of this, Sheng Lanzhi lowered her eyebrows slightly.
His eyes had become much more subdued.

,,,

inside the room.

Ye Liuyun was soaking in a wooden tub, and Xing'er stood skillfully behind him, massaging his shoulders.

Seeing Ye Liuyun leaning against the wooden tub, resting with his eyes closed.

"Xing'er said softly."

"Master, please rest for a while. I'll go and have someone add some more hot water."

"Ok!"

Ye Liuyun nodded without opening his eyes.

Not long after Xing'er left, someone entered the room and awkwardly added hot water for Ye Liuyun. It was obvious that he was not used to doing this, and some of the hot water spilled outside the wooden tub.

Open your eyes and take a look.

The person who arrived was indeed Sheng Lanzhi.

At that moment, Sheng Lanzhi rolled up her sleeves, awkwardly placed the wooden bucket on the ground, and let out a long sigh of relief.

Seeing Ye Liuyun looking over.

Sheng Lanzhi's face instantly turned red, a little embarrassed.

"I've never done anything like that before, but I won't do it again!"

I originally thought that this kind of servant's work would be very simple, but I only realized after doing it that nothing is simple. When you first start doing it, you need to get used to it.

Sheng Lanzhi had always been a pampered young lady from a wealthy family, so it was understandable that she wouldn't be familiar with such things.

Ye Liuyun wasn't surprised at all.

He glanced at Sheng Lanzhi a couple more times, then closed his eyes again.

"Give me a shoulder massage!"

"???"

Upon hearing Ye Liuyun's words, Sheng Lanzhi was taken aback at first, but then immediately understood.

"it is good!"

Without any intention of refusing, she responded and then came up behind Ye Liuyun, her movements a little cautious, clearly indicating that she had never done such a thing before and was afraid of doing it wrong.

However, Ye Liuyun didn't say anything throughout the entire process.

Gradually, Sheng Lanzhi's initially clumsy movements became more skillful, and she grew bolder.

Time passes little by little.

Neither Ye Liuyun nor Sheng Lanzhi spoke; the only sound in the room was the gentle gurgling of flowing water.

"About the Chamber of Commerce,"

Sheng Lanzhi had been carefully considering how to bring up this matter.

Finally, after hesitating for so long, Sheng Lanzhi finally spoke up, albeit reluctantly.

"I thought you were going to stay silent forever!"

Seeing Sheng Lanzhi's hesitant expression, Ye Liuyun suddenly laughed.

"This hesitant attitude is unlike your usual self!"

Previously, Sheng Lanzhi had always been confident; she would never have shown such a hesitant, timid demeanor.

",,,"

before?

After a moment of silence, Sheng Lanzhi shook her head with a wry smile.

As the chamber of commerce gradually got on track and she herself had a successful career, Sheng Lanzhi naturally became confident.

But now, the Chamber of Commerce is about to disappear, and I have nothing left. Where can I find the confidence I used to have?

"There were a lot of people just now, but there's no one here. Let's talk!"

Ye Liuyun didn't notice the change in Sheng Lanzhi's expression.

It seems that everyone has a sentimental side, and Sheng Lanzhi is no exception.

"In the entire Great Qian Imperial City, the only terrestrial immortal is the one in the imperial palace, but I can't understand why that person in the imperial palace would set their sights on the merchant guild you control?"

Honestly.

This was something Ye Liuyun didn't understand.

Yan Fuhai is currently secluded in the palace, and his mind should be preoccupied with how to recover his health. He won't have time to care about other things.

Sheng Lanzhi's Chamber of Commerce is doing fairly well.

But at most it can only be considered a small chamber of commerce. With Yan Fuhai's vision, he wouldn't make things difficult for such a chamber of commerce.

"I'm not sure either!"

Hearing Ye Liuyun say that, Sheng Lanzhi did not feel embarrassed.

He shook his head and then spoke softly.

"At first, people from the palace came, saying they wanted to use my business association to buy some things, but gradually they became greedy and drove the prices down very low, until the last time!"

"They informed me directly that they were going to confiscate the chamber of commerce I was in charge of, and they said that all of this was the Emperor Emeritus's will!"

Sheng Lanzhi was not someone who would be bullied by others.

Sheng Lanzhi was naturally unwilling to let the other party take away the chamber of commerce that she had worked so hard to build.

However, after hearing that it was the Emperor Emeritus's intention, Sheng Lanzhi fell silent.

Sheng Lanzhi was quite clear about the power distribution within the imperial city. The Supreme Emperor was the only terrestrial deity within the Great Qian Imperial City.

Let alone Sheng Lanzhi.

Even if it's other people.

In such a situation, she wouldn't perform any better than Sheng Lanzhi.

",,,"

This description caused Ye Liuyun to lower his head and remain silent for a moment.

"So, Yan Fuhai didn't show up at all from beginning to end?"

"Ok?"

Sheng Lanzhi was somewhat puzzled. Given Yan Fuhai's status, there was no need for him to personally handle such matters; he could simply delegate them to his subordinates.

Ye Liuyun didn't explain anything, but continued to ask.

What kind of things did the other party buy from you?

"There are magical artifacts and the like, but most of them are relatively rare and ancient medicinal herbs!"

Does Yan Fuhai need these things?

Or rather, given Yan Fuhai's status, even if he needed these things, would he need to buy them outside the palace?

The palace must have a certain inventory, whether it's medicine, magical artifacts, or other things. There's no need to buy them from outside, right?
"One last question, do you still know who the person who bought these things from you is?"

"Judging from the way those people address him, it seems they call him Lord Guan Bao!"

Sheng Lanzhi recalled and described it to Ye Liuyun.

When the other party came to their chamber of commerce to purchase goods, they always acted arrogantly and haughtily, and they did so under the guise of working for Yan Fuhai.

",,,"

On the contrary, it was Ye Liuyun.

Upon hearing the name Guan Bao, I suddenly fell silent.

"Will it be troublesome?"

Upon seeing Ye Liuyun like this, Sheng Lanzhi immediately became worried.

"If it's too much trouble, then forget it. It's just a chamber of commerce; there's no need to offend a terrestrial deity over it."

"Are you willing to accept this?"

Upon hearing Ye Liuyun's question, Sheng Lanzhi paused for a moment before suddenly laughing.

"I believe that one day, even a terrestrial immortal will not be your match!"

After speaking, Sheng Lanzhi looked earnestly at Ye Liuyun in front of her.

I really underestimated Ye Liuyun back then.

After observing Sheng Lanzhi for a while, Ye Liuyun suddenly smiled and said.

"Don't worry, you don't need to wait until later."

"Let's go to the Chamber of Commerce together tomorrow!"

Upon hearing the name Guan Bao, Ye Liuyun could pretty much guess what was going on.

Look.

Guan Bao has become bolder than I imagined; he's now daring to use Yan Fuhai's name to do things outside.

Yan Fuhai didn't need these magical artifacts and medicinal herbs, but Guan Bao did.

If it were the old Guan Bao, he certainly wouldn't have acted so recklessly, after all, Yan Fuhai is no benevolent person.

If word gets out about this, Guan Bao will be the first to die.

Have those influenced by the 'God of War Skill' lost all their rationality?
"But,,"

Hearing Ye Liuyun say that he would accompany her to the Chamber of Commerce tomorrow...

Sheng Lanzhi was naturally happy, after all, it meant that Ye Liuyun was willing to stand up for her, but after thinking about something, Sheng Lanzhi still hesitated and looked at Ye Liuyun.

The chamber of commerce is gone, so be it; we can start over.

But if a person dies, then you really lose everything.

"There are no 'buts' about it, and besides, this matter isn't as complicated as you think!"

Even if things really escalate, Yan Fuhai won't directly take action against me, as long as the effects of the backlash from Yan Fuhai's luck haven't completely dissipated.

Ye Liuyun wouldn't worry that Yan Fuhai would lay a hand on him.

Do you really think the red-quality talent attributes on your body are a joke?
It could cause someone's luck to backfire and explode, killing them in an instant.

Of course.

Sheng Lanzhi was certainly unaware of the intricacies involved, but seeing Ye Liuyun's confident demeanor, her heart fluttered, and she nodded gently.

"Ok!"

"However, I need to go to the Embroidered Uniform Guard first tomorrow. After that, I'll go to your merchant guild!"

"it is good!"

Sheng Lanzhi also knew.

Ye Liuyun had his own things to do in the Embroidered Uniform Guard, so he naturally didn't find anything strange about hearing such words.

He simply agreed in a soft voice.

Then, the room fell silent once again.

The sky outside the room was also starting to get darker and darker.

,,,

the next day.

Ye Liuyun walked out of the room with a relaxed expression. Xing'er was already waiting for him outside.

"I've told you so many times, you're no longer a maid. From now on, you can rest for as long as you want!"

Seeing Xing'er like this, Ye Liuyun felt a pang of sympathy.

This made Xing'er very happy, and she shook her head with a smile.

"I used to get up early, it's always been a habit, and seeing my husband first thing every morning was something I did right from the beginning!"

Seeing Xing'er like this.

What else could Ye Liuyun say?

She raised her hand and ruffled Xing'er's hair, messing up her neatly combed hair once again.

After chatting and laughing for a while...

Ye Liuyun ate breakfast and then left with Zhang San.

"grown ups!"

"grown ups!"

"You're finally back!"

Inside the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

Shi Sheng and the others, who were practicing martial arts in the same spot, immediately rushed over with delight upon seeing Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun is no longer here.

They all felt empty inside, with nothing to do all day long.

"Tell me what has been happening in the capital recently!"

Ye Liuyun waved his hand and said simply.

"Sir, let me explain!"

Si Nan is the one who understands this best.

He immediately moved closer to Ye Liuyun.

To be honest, there's nothing particularly special going on, but with the sacrificial ceremony drawing ever closer, the imperial city has become much more lively lately.

and.

Some ordinary people also came to the capital from other places because of the sacrificial ceremony to Heaven, probably wanting to witness the details.

"I reckon the Embroidered Uniform Guard will be quite busy during the sacrificial ceremony!"

The reason is very simple.

Such a grand ceremony to worship Heaven will surely be incredibly lively and crowded.

To avoid any accidents, someone definitely needs to guard it.

And it seems that besides the Embroidered Uniform Guard, there is no one else who is responsible for this kind of thing!
"Ok!"

Ye Liuyun nodded slightly.

"By the way, who is this brother?"

At this moment, Si Nan's eyes darted around and he looked at Zhang San, who had come in with Ye Liuyun and remained silent the whole time.

Ye Liuyun didn't mind and took the opportunity to introduce them.

"Zhang San, with your late-stage Innate Realm cultivation, arrange for him to be a centurion!"

"Late stage of the Innate Realm!"

Ye Liuyun didn't think much of such a level of cultivation.

But Si Nan and the others were still extremely surprised.

After all, among these people, Jiang Jing, who was at the peak of the Innate Realm, had the highest cultivation level.

As for the others, they are all still at the acquired level of cultivation.

Hearing that Ye Liuyun had recruited another late-stage Xiantian subordinate, everyone couldn't help but sigh in amazement.

"You are truly worthy of being called an adult!"

Martial artists who have reached the Innate Realm are all proud and difficult to recruit.

Perhaps only their family members could have found such a job so easily.

"However, the name Zhang San seems a bit hastily written!"

There was no doubt about Zhang San's abilities.

The name itself made Si Nan scratch his head.

Zhang San responded to this with a straight face.

"This name was given to me by the adults, and it also represents my new life!"

"No wonder!"

After hearing the name Zhang San, which was given to him by Ye Liuyun.

Si Nan was taken aback at first, then said with a look of sudden realization.

"No wonder I always felt that there was some great wisdom hidden in this simple name. It turns out that it was chosen by an adult. It is simple yet meaningful. As expected of an adult!"
