Serving as a Jinyiwei, starting from plundering the swordsmanship talent

Chapter 271 Resentment, On the Verge of Losing Reason
"Got it!"

Si Nan skillfully dragged Guan Bao out of the shop.

Upon noticing that a large number of people had gathered, Si Nan immediately made a gesture to drive them away.

"Disperse! Disperse! Everyone disperse! If you all gather here again, we'll arrest you all and take you to the Embroidered Uniform Guard!"

The flying fish robe that Si Nan is wearing cannot be faked.

Those who were secretly watching immediately scattered upon hearing this, not daring to linger for even a moment longer.

Sure enough, it was only when the Embroidered Uniform Guard spoke that these people were even more afraid.

Si Nan didn't care.

In any case, a violent organization like the Embroidered Uniform Guard doesn't need a good reputation; it's better if others are afraid of it.

"Thank you, thank you!"

Inside the shop, Sheng Lanzhi hesitated for a moment before finally saying thank you.

"Do we really need to say this between us?"

Upon hearing Sheng Lanzhi's words, Ye Liuyun looked over in surprise.

While Sheng Lanzhi remained silent, Ye Liuyun glanced around for a while and then suddenly said jokingly.

"That's quite unusual; I rarely see you act like a typical young woman!"

After Ye Liuyun said this.

Sheng Lanzhi, who was initially a little nervous, suddenly felt much more relaxed.

"I hope this won't cause you any trouble!"

In any case, the person behind Guan Bao is the current Supreme Emperor, the only terrestrial immortal in the Great Qian Dynasty.

Even Sheng Lanzhi could understand what a terrestrial immortal was, something that a grandmaster could not compare to.

"Just a fox borrowing the tiger's power."

Ye Liuyun waved his hand indifferently.

"Besides, even if Yan Fuhai is really willing to stand up for him, it all depends on how long he can live!"

The sacrificial ceremony to Heaven is drawing ever closer.

How much longer can Yan Fuhai, this immortal being on land, live?

"?!"

Sheng Lanzhi wasn't stupid. When she heard Ye Liuyun say that, she was first taken aback, and then she was immediately stunned after realizing what he meant.

Is it possible?
After subconsciously thinking of something, Sheng Lanzhi immediately suppressed the thought in her heart.

Perhaps I'm overthinking it?

However, meeting Ye Liuyun's gaze, Sheng Lanzhi wisely refrained from asking further questions. No matter what happened in the end, she could simply watch Ye Liuyun's decisions obediently.

Sheng Lanzhi had no intention of holding Ye Liuyun back.

,,,

What happened at the Chamber of Commerce did not spread widely.

Apart from a few individuals, many people were completely unaware of what had happened.

"are you back?"

Inside the residence of Prime Minister Fu Zhengqing, listening to the news relayed by the servants, Fu Zhengqing was not concerned about Guan Bao's situation. Ye Liuyun had suddenly left the capital earlier.

Fu Zhengqing had considered whether this was an attempt to protect himself.

Now that Ye Liuyun is back, Fu Zhengqing can't help but feel a sense of relief.

With an opponent like Yan Fuhai, a terrestrial immortal, having another Grandmaster would definitely make things much easier.

"Tsk, I thought this guy was scared!"

Besides Fu Zhengqing, Wei Hongfang was also present at Fu Zhengqing's residence.

Upon seeing the message, Wei Hongfang couldn't help but say something.

However, even after Ye Liuyun returned, Wei Hongfang couldn't help but bring it up.

"You really have the leisure and refined tastes, huh? At a time like this, you still have the time to take a woman out for a stroll?"

Although it is unknown where Ye Liuyun went exactly, it is known that Ye Liuyun took Xie Ling'er with him, mainly because Ye Liuyun did not hide it at all.

This is the case.

Anyone with a discerning eye can tell they went out for a vacation.

"Anyway, it's good that you're back!"

Fu Zhengqing didn't pay any attention to such things.

As long as they didn't sneak away beforehand, that's enough.

Upon hearing this, Wei Hongfang stopped dwelling on it and looked at Fu Zhengqing again.

"How is Yue Xiu doing?"

Looking across the entire Great Qian Dynasty, the only ones who could unite are probably just these few people.

Given General Yue Xiu's strength, they would definitely want to win him over.

"rest assured!"

I know what Wei Hongfang is worried about.

Fu Zhengqing chuckled lightly, seemingly unconcerned.

"Don't forget what happened to Yue Xiu. He wants Yan Fuhai dead even more than you do!"

It can be said that because of Yan Fuhai, Yue Xiu was rendered childless. Given this situation, Yue Xiu probably wanted to kill Yan Fuhai a long time ago.

They're just waiting for an opportunity.

Now that such a good opportunity has been presented to him, Fu Zhengqing doesn't think Yue Xiu would refuse it.

"I don't know why, but the closer it gets to this point, the more uneasy I feel!"

Upon hearing Fu Zhengqing's words, Wei Hongfang's face showed no sign of relief; instead, it became even more solemn.

I always feel like something bad is going to happen.

"You're not scared, are you?"

Fu Zhengqing merely glanced at Wei Hongfang in response.

after all.

Wei Hongfang is the strongest, with the cultivation level of a late-stage Grandmaster. It's already quite good that he can unleash the combat power of a mid-stage Grandmaster. It's normal for him to be timid.

"Humph!"

Wei Hongfang was, after all, quite proud.

He was initially a little worried, but after Fu Zhengqing said that, his worries immediately dissipated. He snorted coldly and met Fu Zhengqing's eyes.

"Afraid? We grew up in the palace and have experienced countless life-and-death situations. How could we be afraid? You should worry about yourself!"

This is not Wei Hongfang bragging.

The palace is not as safe as it looks from the outside.

Wei Hongfang entered the palace at a very young age and followed Yan Fuhai. At that time, Yan Fuhai was not yet the emperor.

It is precisely because of this.

Wei Hongfang was so unwilling when he was driven out of the palace by Yan Fuhai.

Despite his unwavering loyalty, he ended up in such a predicament, which must have twisted Wei Hongfang's heart to some extent.

"It's best if you're not afraid!"

Fu Zhengqing didn't pay much attention to Wei Hongfang's words.

He simply replied with one sentence and had no intention of continuing the conversation.

Thinking of the grand sacrificial ceremony to Heaven that would be held soon, Fu Zhengqing's eyes narrowed slightly; that was the best opportunity yet.

Wei Hongfang wanted to say something more.

But after seeing Fu Zhengqing like this, he just rolled his eyes inwardly. Oh well, what's there to say? He'd better wait until he deals with Wanyan Fuhai. Maybe he really will die on that day.

night.

Guan Bao's severed leg has been reattached.

For martial artists, losing a leg is not a big deal at all. With their physical constitution, even without medical treatment, they can recover on their own after a period of time.

only.

The original location of the left eye is now covered by a black cloth strip.

Obviously, a severed leg can be restored, but the eyes burned by the Netherfire cannot be restored.

Even though the eerie green flames had dissipated, Guan Bao could still feel a lingering pain in his left eye.

This feeling, as if one's very soul is being burned, cannot be suppressed by willpower alone.

"call!"

Just as Guan Bao's expression was somewhat uncertain.

Outside the door, Yunhu strode in.

"you,,"

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Guan Bao like this. My gaze lingered for a moment on Guan Bao's left eye, which was covered by a black cloth.

"When my men first told me, I didn't believe it, but it turns out it's true!"

Because he had not been able to capture Wei Hongfang, Yunhu had never been able to sit on the throne of the Nine Thousand Years Old Wei Zhi, which he had been longing for.

However, due to the difference in strength, Yan Fuhai clearly valued Yun Hu more and granted him considerable power. The treatment he received was worlds apart from that of Guan Bao.

They also have their own intelligence network.

When Yunhu first heard the news from his subordinates, he didn't quite believe it.

Seeing Guan Bao like this now, I can say I completely believe him.

“I told you long ago that you would get into trouble sooner or later by doing things this way. See? And if you need anything, you can just tell me.”

",,,"

Listening to Yunhu's incessant chatter.

Guan Bao's already bad complexion worsened now.

In this case, Guan Bao might not care too much about others, but for Yun Hu, the situation is completely different. Although Yun Hu has not yet become the Ninth Prince, he has inherited a considerable amount of Wei Hongfang's assets and is not short of money at all.

This is completely different from having nothing at all.

In this situation.

Yunhu could, of course, say such things without any shame.

If Guan Bao hadn't realized that with his own strength, if he really went to fight Yun Hu, he would only be the one who suffered in the end, he really would have wanted to take action directly.

"In short, you should rest well at home for the next few days. As for your eyes, I'll see if I can find some doctors to treat them for you!"

To the end.

Yunhu looked at Guan Bao with obvious disdain.

He's a complete failure, more trouble than he's worth.

If it weren't for the fact that Guan Bao was the most powerful among the subordinates he could command, Yun Hu wouldn't have cared much about Guan Bao's life or death.

"no need!"

In this regard.

Guan Bao simply uttered a muffled sentence.

I know my own situation well; my eye wasn't destroyed by ordinary means.

Guan Bao could sense that from now on, he would probably only be able to use his other eye.

"If you really want to help me, then tell me the secret to becoming a master!"

After saying that, Guan Bao stared intently at Yun Hu's location with his only remaining eye.

So long.

He had hinted at it many times, both openly and secretly, but Yun Hu had always blocked him. Whenever he thought of this, Guan Bao felt as if a fire was burning in his heart.

",,,"

That's it again!

Guan Bao's words made Yun Hu frown immediately.

Secret? There's no secret. You're just useless. You have a treasure like the War God Skill, but you don't even know how to learn it properly.

Yunhu truly had no idea what the secret was to reaching the Grandmaster realm.

He himself broke through naturally at that time, so in Yunhu's opinion, Guan Bao was just not cultivating diligently. If he had been more serious, he wouldn't still be stuck at the Innate Perfection realm.

but.

That's not quite right, after all, Yunhu still wanted to make use of Guanbao's power.

So, under Guan Bao's watchful gaze, Yun Hu spoke with a serious expression.

"I've said it many times, as long as we capture Wei Hongfang, I will definitely tell you this secret. The guards watching over the imperial city have never found any trace of Wei Hongfang."

"This means that Wei Hongfang has never actually left the palace. As long as you work hard, you will definitely be able to find him!"

We've searched every place in the palace that we needed to.

If Wei Hongfang is really still in the capital.

The only places they could hide in were places that Yunhu and his men couldn't enter, such as the residence of Prime Minister Fu Zhengqing, the residence of General Yue Xiu, or the residence of Ye Liuyun.

These places.

None of these places are places that Yunhu and his group can freely enter and search.

This is also why Yunhu has kept Guan Bao around all this time. There are many things he can't do himself, but he can make Guan Bao do them.

Let Guan Bao handle the troublesome tasks; I can simply reap the benefits without lifting a finger.

Although Guan Bao has become impulsive and irritable, he is not really stupid.

Guan Bao was able to guess some of Yun Hu's little schemes.

",,,"

He didn't speak, but clenched his fists tightly.

After a while, I gradually adjusted my breathing and calmed myself down.

“I will help you find Wei Hongfang, but you should know that if I break through to the Grandmaster level, I will be of even greater use to you. Why don’t you tell me the secret to breaking through to the Grandmaster level first!”

Guan Bao now.

He didn't care at all about being used by Yunhu. So what if he was used? As long as he could break through to the Grandmaster level, nothing else mattered.

You're obsessed!
This made Yunhu frown and scrutinize Guan Bao for a while.

In Yunhu's opinion, Guan Bao's ability to say such a thing was somewhat delusional.

If he really had some secrets, that would be fine; giving Guan Bao a little something wouldn't be a big deal. But the key is that he really doesn't have any.

You can't just say, "You're not working hard enough; if you keep trying, you can break through."

"Anyway, once you catch Wei Hongfang, I'll naturally tell you!"

Done.

Yunhu had no intention of saying anything more.

He turned around and left immediately.

Guan Bao was left alone, staring at Yun Hu's departing figure, his face gradually becoming distorted.

"Damn it! Damn it!"

Guan Baobao practically spat out those words through gritted teeth.

Staring in the direction Yun Hu left, his gaze seemed to be poisoned. For a moment, Guan Bao really intended to take action.

But in the end, he managed to restrain himself.

"Grandmaster, I must become a Grandmaster."

,,,

the next day.

During the day, Yunhu and Guanbao both had to work in the palace.

Although it was called "serving a duty," it really just meant standing next to Yan Fuhai. Yun Hu was quite happy with this, but Guan Bao was not favored by Yan Fuhai.

He was never forced by Yan Fuhai to follow him; it was all based on Guan Bao's own wishes.

"Ok?"

Upon seeing that Guan Bao's eye was covered by a black cloth, Yan Fuhai raised an eyebrow slightly.

Yan Fuhai received the message yesterday, but he didn't pay much attention to it.

Seeing Guan Bao's attitude, Yan Fuhai felt no regret whatsoever; instead, he frowned and said...

"Since you've become such a grotesque mess, just stay here and heal your wounds. Don't come out and get in the way."

It's nothing more than a dog.

Yan Fuhai never cared about Guan Bao's life at all.

Even though he already knew some of it, Guan Bao's breathing still became much more rapid after hearing these words, and it took him a while to calm down.

He forced a smile and said.

"Please forgive me, Master. It was Ye Liuyun who was far too arrogant! I..."

Indeed, the main reason Guan Bao came to the palace today was actually to file a complaint.

The complaint was filed against Ye Liuyun.

I refuse to believe that if I can't handle Ye Liuyun, then I can't handle Yan Fuhai either.

Guan Bao is no longer a magnanimous person. He doesn't want to wait until he improves his strength before taking revenge. He would prefer to kill Ye Liuyun now.

"enough!"

Just a pity.

Guan Bao hadn't even finished speaking when Yan Fuhai interrupted him.

Yan Fuhai could see right through Guan Bao's little schemes, but he simply didn't care.

"You brought this upon yourself, so you're going to deal with it yourself? Do you really think I can just fool you?"

My body is currently at a critical stage of recovery, so how could I possibly take careless actions for a dog and neglect my recovery process?

"I,,"

Guan Bao thought so.

No matter what, I work for Yan Fuhai, and I always do my best to fulfill his orders.

Even if he wouldn't directly attack Ye Liuyun for his own sake.

But surely they should have at least given me a scolding, so why did I end up being the one being scolded?

Is there anything else I want to say?

But Yun Hu, standing to the side, clearly noticed the change in Yan Fuhai's expression.

He stepped forward and addressed Guan Bao directly.

"Third brother!"

“Master is usually very busy with important matters. How could you cause trouble for him over such a trivial matter?”

"Hurry up and leave. You can handle this yourself!"

Handle it yourself?

If I were capable of handling it myself, would this eye still be able to be burned?
but.

Yan Fuhai was fairly satisfied with Yun Hu's words.

He nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over Guan Bao's position.

"From now on, don't enter the palace unless absolutely necessary!"

",,,"

Guan Bao could easily understand the meaning behind those words.

I've been completely abandoned.

In just a moment, Guan Bao's hand, hidden beneath his sleeve, clenched tightly.

pity.

In front of Yan Fuhai, a terrestrial immortal, Guan Bao didn't dare to show even the slightest killing intent; even if he was angry, he could only restrain himself.
