Embroidered Uniform Guard: I Can Plunder Talents-Chapter 216 - 47: Is This Really the First Day You’ve Met Me? Everyone’s Waiting for the Old Emperor to Leave Seclusion

Chapter 216: Chapter 47: Is This Really the First Day You’ve Met Me? Everyone’s Waiting for the Old Emperor to Leave Seclusion

"Don’t worry, sir!"

With Ye Liuyun’s words, Jiang Jing finally looked back at Wan Feiliang.

"Who do you think you are!"

Wan Feiliang, already broken, couldn’t care about anything else at this point, and faced Jiang Jing’s gaze.

He just started to yell in anger.

"My Lord Thousand Households seat, you think you can just take it as you please--"

"Bang!"

Before he could finish, Wan Feiliang’s body flew backward.

The one who moved wasn’t Ye Liuyun, but Jiang Jing.

In a flash, Jiang Jing appeared in front of Wan Feiliang, slammed his palm on Wan Feiliang’s dantian, and sent him flying straight out.

Innate!

You can always tell an expert when they strike.

Wan Feiliang, for all his talk, was only a Postnatal cultivator. To be thrown around so easily could only be done by someone at the Innate Realm.

So Jiang Jing was actually an Innate Realm martial artist.

Many here used to think Jiang Jing was just a random underling Ye Liuyun picked up from who-knows-where.

Though he once earned the nickname Jinghong Spear,

after all these years at Prince Jin’s Mansion, and with so many talents in Jianghu, the title Jinghong Spear was slowly forgotten.

They’d thought he was just a regular henchman, but turns out, he’s already at Innate Perfection.

This news...

It’s just as shocking as when they first found out Ye Liuyun was a Grandmaster.

Wan Feiliang wasn’t dead.

Jiang Jing controlled his strength perfectly, knowing his lord wanted to toy with Wan Feiliang a bit, so of course he wouldn’t let the guy die that easily.

Even though he didn’t know the grudge between the other guy and his lord,

Jiang Jing’s strong point was: he never asked too many "why"s, if he’s told to do something, he just does it.

"You... you really dared to cripple me?"

Trembling, Wan Feiliang staggered to his feet, tried to stir his inner strength, but nothing happened at all.

Wan Feiliang realized—

he’d been crippled, that strike from Jiang Jing just now had destroyed his dantian.

Without his cultivation, he wouldn’t just lose his position in the Embroidered Uniform Guard; he probably wouldn’t even survive in front of Duke Nine-Thousand.

Wan Feiliang knew all too well—

Duke Nine-Thousand was cold and ruthless. If you had talent, you’d be valued. If not, Duke Nine-Thousand probably wouldn’t even give you a glance.

"How could you... how could you do this!"

Wan Feiliang really couldn’t believe Ye Liuyun had the guts for this.

Even though Jiang Jing was the one who did it,

Wan Feiliang knew full well, without Ye Liuyun’s nod, Jiang Jing would never have done such a thing.

"Is this your first day knowing me?"

Looking at Wan Feiliang like that, Ye Liuyun couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

Do I really look like some goody two-shoes?

Other people mess with me, yet I’m supposed to "repay grievance with virtue"?

As for "how dare I"... Heh, guess Wan Feiliang’s brain really isn’t working, asking such a stupid question.

I’ve thrown down before—plenty in the Embroidered Uniform Guard thought Ye Liuyun was some reckless hothead, no such thing as backing down for him.

"Relax, I won’t let you die that easily."

Meeting Wan Feiliang’s crazed gaze, Ye Liuyun grinned and added.

Ye Liuyun never claimed to be a decent guy.

He’s always been about vengeance for every grudge, payback for every debt. Kindness? Maybe he’d forget, but anyone who crossed him—Ye Liuyun would remember it for life.

When he was just Innate Realm before, if he’d made a move on Wan Feiliang, maybe Duke Nine-Thousand would have personally stepped in.

But now it’s different.

He’s already in the Grandmaster Realm. Even if he’s just early-stage, and not quite on Duke Nine-Thousand’s level in terms of minor realms, it’s not a huge gap.

Of course he has to get his revenge properly.

Otherwise, leaving someone like Wan Feiliang as Lord Thousand Households—just to disgust himself?

"Let’s go!"

Giving a little chuckle, Ye Liuyun clearly didn’t want to waste any more time here.

He said it simply, then strode off with long, quick steps.

Behind him, Jiang Jing, Si Nan, Shi Sheng, and the others also strode up to catch up with Ye Liuyun.

The earliest ones to follow Ye Liuyun,

Si Nan and Shi Sheng, now felt they shared in his glory to some extent.

Everyone silently watched Ye Liuyun leave. As for Wan Feiliang, who now looked like a miserable loser, no one paid him any mind.

Only after Ye Liuyun’s figure had completely left,

the previous dead silence was finally broken.

"Whew! Good thing I never pissed off Lord Ye Thousand Households before!"

"Don’t call him Lord Thousand Households anymore, you have to call him Governor now!"

"Yeah yeah yeah, Governor is right!"

"We’d all better keep our heads up from now on!"

"...."

Because of what just happened, everyone silently slapped the "narrow-minded" label onto Ye Liuyun again.

If you weren’t careful one day and did something that pissed off Ye Liuyun, wouldn’t you be next?

Everyone was telling themselves in their hearts—

from now on, better be extra careful around Ye Liuyun.

....

Originally,

if it was just Ye Liuyun becoming Southern Governor, the news probably wouldn’t cause much stir within the Imperial City.

After all, the Governor’s official rank isn’t that high—it’s nothing remarkable.

But if the new Southern Governor is a Grandmaster, the commotion is on another level entirely.

There’s actually a new Grandmaster in the Imperial City.

The moment the news got out,

a bunch of people started investigating Ye Liuyun. Many families that would’ve been ordinary, with a Grandmaster in their corner, could instantly jump to become top-tier powerhouses.
