Serving as a Jinyiwei, starting from plundering the swordsmanship talent

Chapter 272 Using cheats is fun for a while! Using cheats all the time is even more fun!

"Master! I—"

Guan Bao wanted to say something more.

However, Yunhu, who was standing to the side, immediately interrupted.

"Alright, third brother, you can go back now. If there's anything you need to say, you can tell me later. Don't disturb the master's rest here!"

",,,"

That’s all.

No matter how unwilling he was, Guan Bao could only choose to remain silent.

"Subordinates resign!"

Seeing that Yan Fuhai didn't give him even a second glance, Guan Bao lowered his eyes and turned to leave.

only.

As he was about to leave Yan Fuhai's palace, Guan Bao still turned back for one last look.

Seeing Yun Hu leaning close to Yan Fuhai, seemingly talking about something, Guan Bao's resentment reached its peak.

This guy must also be hoping to get rid of Yan Fuhai.

After all, if that's the case, no one will be able to compete with Yunhu anymore!
really.

What brotherhood? In the face of self-interest, it's all a lie.

,,,

That night.

Yunhu returned to his residence with a satisfied smile on his face, clearly in a very good mood.

"Second brother!"

The sudden sound startled Yunhu, who turned around and saw Guan Bao, who looked rather 'well-behaved'.

"Second brother, you must be tired after staying in the palace for so long. Have a cup of tea."

Guan Bao didn't notice the change in Yun Hu's expression and naturally handed a cup of tea to Yun Hu.

"Uh!"

To be honest, Yunhu was somewhat frightened when he saw Guan Bao like that.

Could this tea have been poisoned?

Thinking of this, Yunhu subconsciously looked down at the teacup in his hand.

Seemingly sensing Yunhu's thoughts, Guan Bao spoke with a serious expression.

"Second brother, I've figured it out. I owe my current position to you. Only by following you can I improve and stop complaining like before!"

"This incident has made me realize my mistakes. Don't worry, Second Brother, I will never cause you any more trouble in the future!"

",,,"

Listening to Guan Bao's sincere remarks.

Seeing the other party's serious expression, Yunhu finally believed him and smiled with relief.

"I'm very pleased that you think this way, Second Brother."

As he spoke, Yunhu picked up his teacup and took a small sip.

Although he suspected that Guan Bao might have poisoned him, Yun Hu thought to himself that he was a Grandmaster, and with such a level of cultivation, he was practically immune to all poisons.

The thing they care about least is poisoning.

but.

Yunhu obviously didn't notice that while he was drinking tea, a chilling glint flashed in Guan Bao's eyes.

However, it only happened briefly.

After Yunhu put down the teacup, Guan Bao regained his previous expression.

"By the way, second brother, you seemed so happy when you came back, did something happen?"

When Yunhu returned, his steps were unsteady, as if he were about to fly into the sky. It was obvious that something good must have happened for Yunhu to be walking like that!
"Hahaha!"

Yunhu, who was already in a good mood, became even happier after hearing Guan Bao's question.

If something good happens and you don't put on an act, it just feels a bit off.

Yunhu is thinking similarly right now.

"What the master means is that after the sacrificial ceremony to Heaven, this position of ninety-nine thousand years old will be completely taken over by me!"

"what!"

Guan Bao, who had been able to maintain a good mood, really couldn't hold back after hearing these words.

I almost screamed in surprise.

Even so, he still stared wide-eyed, incredulous.

Guan Bao's surprise made Yun Hu, who had previously been aloof, somewhat dissatisfied.

He frowned and looked at Guan Bao, saying something.

"What, do you think I'm not worthy of sitting in this position of the Ninth Thousand Years?"

",,,"

So what if?

Guan Bao didn't speak, but those words floated through his mind.

Worthy? Of course you're not worthy.

The one who truly deserves to sit in the position of the Ninth Prince is me.

Guan Bao was almost going crazy, damn it, but fortunately, knowing what he was doing, he calmed down immediately, and his lips twitched.

He forced a smile and said to Yunhu.

"How... how could this be? I'm just surprised. Didn't Master say that he would only give you the position of Ninth Prince after Wei Hongfang was captured?"

"This!"

Upon hearing this, Yunhu didn't suspect anything.

He just waved his hand dismissively.

"The master roughly understands where Wei Hongfang is hiding, so he relented. However, he said that the master still has some feelings for Wei Hongfang and doesn't really intend to kill him!"

After all, they were people who had been by his side since before he ascended the throne.

Yan Fuhai had witnessed Wei Hongfang's unwavering loyalty over the years.

After so many days, Yan Fuhai's desire to kill Wei Hongfang had long since diminished.

Yunhu naturally wanted Wei Hongfang to die.

Only in this way can I sit securely in my position as the Ninth Prince.

But now is clearly not the time to consider such things.

Nothing is more important than actually sitting on the throne of the Ninth Prince. Everything else is fake; only when I sit on the throne of the Ninth Prince will it be real.

"Oh, I see!"

Listening to Yunhu's explanation.

Guan Bao's lips twitched again, and then he accepted the explanation.

However, looking at Yunhu's eyes, which clearly held a sense of longing, it seemed as if he was imagining what it would be like to become the Ninth Prince.

Guan Bao couldn't help but clench his fist under his sleeve.

You fucking bastard, you deserve to die!
"Second Brother, why don't you have some more tea?"

As he spoke, he picked up the teacup that Yunhu had just placed aside again.

Before Yunhu could even ask questions...

Guan Bao spoke first.

"It's wonderful that Second Brother has been appointed as the Ninth Prince. With Second Brother protecting me, I'm afraid no one in the capital will dare to look down on me anymore!"

"Hahahaha!"

Upon hearing Guan Bao's words, Yun Hu couldn't help but burst into laughter.

If it's still like this, it sounds very pleasant.

In a good mood, Yunhu naturally accepted the teacup Guan Bao handed him, took a sip, and then waved his hand.

"There's no need for such formalities between us brothers. As I said before, we are the closest people in the entire Great Qian Imperial City. With your second brother here, you will never be treated unfairly!"

"Ok!"

Guan Bao had no objections and agreed with utmost seriousness.

"Second brother, don't worry. From now on, if there's anything I can do to help you, just ask. I will never refuse!"

Guan Bao spoke with a serious expression.

It looks convincing.

"Hahaha!"

Yunhu then continued chatting and joking with Guan Bao for a while, and Guan Bao finally left when it was getting late.

After Guan Bao left, the smile on Yun Hu's face faded considerably.

Staring at the teacup in my hand, I realized before I knew it, I had finished the tea.

However, Yunhu still took the teacup in his hand, looked at it, smelled it, and even smacked his lips.

"If it were poison, it wouldn't be able to hide it from a grandmaster like me. Even if there are some rare poisons in the world, they are not something that Guan Bao could obtain!"

Therefore, there is no poison in this cup of tea.

Could it be that Guan Bao genuinely wants to work for him?

Has he figured it out?

"So, they've run out of ideas!"

After thinking of something, Yunhu suddenly burst out laughing.

In the end, Guan Bao was merely a Perfected Innate Realm cultivator. He probably realized that there was no hope for him to become a Grandmaster.

If you want to live comfortably in this imperial city in the future, you will have to rely on yourself.

That's why he acted this way. Yunhu suddenly found it strange.

Incidentally, it also feels incredibly reasonable.

Since Guan Bao knows to obey, Yun Hu doesn't mind letting him continue to live.

Again.

Once I ascend to the position of the Ninth Prince, I will need a few capable people under my command. Although Guan Bao seems somewhat unreliable and has now lost an eye, I will be able to do so.

But it is still the late stage of innate constitution.

When there were no other suitable candidates, Guan Bao's abilities were still quite good.

When you understand these things.

Yunhu stopped worrying about Guan Bao's matter. Everything was under control, at least that's what Yunhu, as the person involved, truly thought.

only.

Unbeknownst to Yunhu, Guanbao quickened his pace after leaving Yunhu's residence.

Seemingly not wanting to be discovered by anyone, he quickly returned to his residence.

"call!"

He breathed a long sigh of relief.

Great, we weren't discovered.

If Yunhu had truly discovered something amiss, he would have been captured long ago; how could he possibly have returned safely to his residence?

Think of this.

Guan Bao's lips began to curl upwards, revealing a wide smile.

If I hadn't been trying so hard to restrain myself, I probably would have burst out laughing.

"Damn dog, what right do you have to sit in this position of the Ninth Thousand Years? The one who truly deserves this position is me! Anyone who dares to block my way must die!"

Just as Yunhu had guessed.

Guan Bao did indeed use poison, but he wasn't stupid. He knew that ordinary poisons would not only have no effect on Yun Hu, a grandmaster, but would also be detected immediately.

Therefore, Guan Bao took a different approach.

Use highly nourishing substances instead of so-called poisons.

That's why Yunhu didn't notice anything wrong. After all, tonics aren't poison, so it's normal not to notice anything.

only.

Sometimes, taking too many tonics may not necessarily be good for your health.

Guan Bao wasn't entirely sure if this method could truly pose a threat to Yun Hu, but it didn't matter. Given the current situation, if he didn't take action, the position of the Ninth Prince would likely firmly fall into Yun Hu's hands.

by that time.

I truly have no chance at all.

No matter what, we must kill Yunhu.

Thinking of this, a cruel glint appeared in Guan Bao's eyes, and his fists were clenched tightly.

Even Yunhu himself probably didn't expect that Guan Bao would want to kill him so badly.

,,,

The conflict between Guan Bao and Yun Hu.

Clearly, none of this affected Ye Liuyun. On his first day back in the capital, Ye Liuyun relaxed for the entire day.

And then the next day arrived.

Ye Liuyun arrived at the Imperial Guard's prison with a refreshed expression.

"My lord! My lord, you've finally arrived!"

Xiao Yongning, the Imperial Guard guarding the Zhaoyu prison, had been looking rather idle, but when he saw Ye Liuyun approaching, his eyes widened in surprise. Before he could think any further, he quickly jogged over to her.

"That's wonderful! It's been so many days! I've missed you terribly, my lord!"

Ye Liuyun strode into the Zhaoyu Prison.

Instead of focusing his attention on Xiao Yongning immediately, he first looked around the prison.

When I left the capital, the prison cells were almost empty.

I didn't expect that when I came back now, it would be completely full.

You can tell.

During the time he was away from the capital, Xiao Yongning did not slack off; instead, he diligently replenished the Zhaoyu prison with more people.

"well done!"

Ye Liuyun did not hesitate to give his praise.

He patted Xiao Yongning on the shoulder with satisfaction.

"It's all for the adults!"

Xiao Yongning can be said to have a very open mind now.

Let alone the entire Embroidered Uniform Guard, even in the entire Great Qian Dynasty, there are many who want to curry favor with Ye Liuyun, this young Grandmaster. It's already quite good that I have such an opportunity.

What else do you want to do?

"Ok!"

Ye Liuyun would naturally not treat those who genuinely worked for him unfairly.

Otherwise, if you want the horse to run but don't want to feed it, you can't really believe that everyone loves you and is willing to do anything for you.

After nodding, Ye Liuyun spoke directly.

"Your cultivation level is still a bit lacking, but it doesn't matter. Our Embroidered Uniform Guard has quite a few cultivation manuals in its collection. Go and choose a few to practice diligently. Just mention my name when you get there!"

The Embroidered Uniform Guard had collected many martial arts manuals.

These martial arts manuals were originally only available to the Embroidered Uniform Guard. However, only those who achieved certain merits or attained a certain status could exchange for some of these manuals.

Xiao Yongning, on the other hand, clearly did not have this opportunity in the past.

So when Xiao Yongning heard Ye Liuyun say that, he was first stunned, and then he was overjoyed.

Everyone knows that.

In this world, whoever has the bigger fist is right.

Otherwise, why would others have such faith in Ye Liuyun, who is so young? It's because Ye Liuyun is strong enough to be a young grandmaster.

If it's a pity, Xiao Yongning naturally wants to become stronger.

There was no such opportunity before, but now, the opportunity has clearly arrived.

"My lord! I—"

Xiao Yongning immediately wanted to say something about loyalty.

However, before he could even speak, Ye Liuyun waved his hand, interrupting him.

"Alright, we'll talk about the future later. You did a good job this time. I will never treat those who work for me unfairly!"

"Yes!"

Having understood Ye Liuyun's meaning, Xiao Yongning didn't say anything more, but instead gave a serious reply.

He then waved to the Imperial Guards around him.

They started by pulling the prisoners out of the cell.

Those who could be imprisoned in the Zhaoyu prison were basically all heinous criminals, so when it came to killing them, there was no mercy or consideration whatsoever.

There are many prisoners.

Even with the highest efficiency, by the time Ye Liuyun emerged from the Zhaoyu prison, it was already dusk.

“Talent entry system!

"Spiritual Body (Metal): Naturally possesses a strong physique, capable of absorbing spiritual energy of any attribute!"

The gains this time weren't significant.

Only one Yin-Gathering Body, originally of purple quality, was upgraded to a Spirit-Gathering Body of gold quality.

Apart from that, there were no other talent attribute upgrades, and similarly, no new talent attributes appeared.

After all, with so many talent attributes accumulated, it's not an easy task to get new ones to appear.

But even so.

Other talent attributes have also gained a lot of experience, and at this rate, leveling up shouldn't be too far off.

"Not bad!"

Overall, Ye Liuyun was quite satisfied with the result.

Moreover, this is only one of the prisons.

Next up are the Heavenly Prison and Purgatory.

Having been away for so many days, I imagine there must be quite a few more prisoners in those two places by now.

Perhaps this time.

Who knows, I might even be able to create another red-quality attribute for myself.

not to mention.

Ye Liuyun could already feel the intense urge to break through. If he could get another red-quality talent attribute, he would probably be able to completely break through to the late Grandmaster realm.

"As expected, it still comes down to cheating!"

It's fun to cheat for a while, and it's always fun to cheat all the time.

In comparison, if I really had to cultivate so painstakingly, when would I ever be able to break through to the late stage of the Grandmaster realm?
