Chapter 218: Chapter 47: Is This Your First Day Meeting Me? Everyone’s Waiting for the Old Emperor to Come Out (3)

"General, Ye Liuyun is a Grandmaster, and a young Grandmaster at that. Shouldn’t we at least try to recruit him?"

Such a genius figure.

I’m afraid quite a few factions within the Imperial City are thinking about recruiting him. It’s not surprising that we’d have such an idea too.

"No need!"

Knowing the deputy general’s thoughts, he just waved his hand and replied simply.

As for the reason, it’s actually quite simple.

It’s useless.

Anyone who can become a Grandmaster isn’t a fool. Basically, they all have their own beliefs they stick to. Since he’s already one of the little emperor’s people, there’s really no point for us to try and recruit him again.

So.

The General of Border Defense has only one attitude.

If you can befriend him, go ahead; if not, it’s no loss.

"Understood!"

Seeing the general’s attitude, the deputy general didn’t press the matter.

Instead, he responded earnestly and went about his business.

Within the Great Qian Dynasty’s Imperial City, there are three major powers: the Prime Minister, the Grand General, and finally, the Eunuch of Nine Thousand Years.

Prime Minister Fu Zhengqing relies on his own strength and his prestige among the civil officials.

The General of Border Defense relies on his own strength as well, and the four hundred thousand troops under his command.

As for the Eunuch of Nine Thousand Years.

When it comes to strength, he can’t beat either Prime Minister Fu Zhengqing or the General of Border Defense.

But that’s nothing—Nine Thousand Years is willing to play the dog.

He keeps the old emperor pleased, and naturally, his status is high.

Who doesn’t know that the Eunuch of Nine Thousand Years is the most loyal old dog at the old emperor’s side? You could say, as long as the old emperor isn’t dead, Nine Thousand Years’ position can’t be shaken.

"Damn! Damn! Damn!"

Today, Nine Thousand Years is hardly as relaxed as usual.

His only man within the Embroidered Uniform Guard has been crippled, even if not killed.

But what’s the use of keeping a cripple?

Besides.

Given the current situation, Ye Liuyun is already the Southern Governor. If he wants to plant someone in the Embroidered Uniform Guard now, it’s probably not going to be easy to get past Ye Liuyun.

Thinking about this.

The gloom on Nine Thousand Years’ face sunk even deeper.

"What a useless fool!"

To get crippled so easily—if that isn’t useless, what is?

As for whether to avenge Wan Feiliang.

Heh, that’s not something Nine Thousand Years has even considered.

In fact.

Right from the start, Nine Thousand Years wasn’t angry about Wan Feiliang being crippled at all.

He’s simply furious about having lost face.

"Ye Liuyun, huh? Just you wait!"

This face—I’ll get it back, that’s for certain.

As for personally showing up for revenge? That idea only flashed across Nine Thousand Years’ mind for a moment before being thrown aside.

Never mind that Ye Liuyun is now a Grandmaster. Even if Nine Thousand Years went in person, it wouldn’t be easy to deal with him in the short term.

And if something unexpected happened in the process—

That would truly be the most humiliating thing in the entire Imperial City.

So.

Right now, Nine Thousand Years’ plan is to wait until the old emperor finishes his closed-door cultivation—then get back all his lost face in one shot.

"Hm! As long as the master emerges, none of today’s problems will remain!"

At that time.

The master will be a Land Immortal—even if Ye Liuyun is a prodigy, what would it matter then?

"Godfather is absolutely right!"

"Godfather truly lives up to his title!"

Seeing Nine Thousand Years relax suddenly.

Yun Hu and Guan Bao, who moments ago were worried they’d be caught in his anger, immediately chimed in, praising Nine Thousand Years in unison.

"Humph!"

The just-recovered good mood vanished the moment he heard their fawning.

A cold snort.

He shot them a chilling look.

"Two useless things—what use are you to me!"

"... "

Seeing Nine Thousand Years’ face change so fast,

Yun Hu and Guan Bao immediately drooped like quails, not daring to utter a word.

When it comes to capable people under Nine Thousand Years, there are very few.

The former godson He Long, Innate realm, ruthless in action, was Nine Thousand Years’ favorite godson—but sadly, he’s gone now.

Now only Yun Hu and Guan Bao remain. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

They’re loyal, sure, but their Postnatal Realm cultivation is just a bit lacking.

"I’ll give you another year. If by this time next year you still haven’t broken through to the Innate Realm, I’ll send you off myself!"

"Rest assured, godfather!"

Upon hearing this,

Yun Hu was the first to look up, his face full of confidence as he met Nine Thousand Years’ eyes.

"Yun Hu guarantees he’ll break through to Innate within a year and serve godfather faithfully!"

Yun Hu’s talent is a little higher than Guan Bao’s.

He’s already lingered at the Postnatal Realm for many years, and just recently, Yun Hu has begun to touch the threshold of the Innate Realm.

Given this pace, he should definitely break through within six months.

Of course, Yun Hu isn’t stupid enough to say, "I’ll do it in half a year, no need for a whole year." You have to leave yourself some leeway—if it doesn’t happen in six months, you’d look like a fool.

Wouldn’t that be dumb?

"Hm!"

Hearing Yun Hu’s reply,

Nine Thousand Years’ expression finally eased a little.

He nodded, satisfied.

Then, seeing Guan Bao still with his head bowed and silent, he spoke directly:

"And you?"

"R-replying to godfather, I can do it too!"

As he said this, Guan Bao’s face was more than a little bitter.

He doesn’t have Yun Hu’s confidence.

Given his talent, reaching the Postnatal Realm was already quite the achievement.

To reach the Innate Realm? That’d take years, no chance in just one year. Forcing himself to break through in a year—

On the contrary, Guan Bao is almost hoping something ’unexpected’ happens to Nine Thousand Years within the year. That way, at least he wouldn’t face punishment.

Wait, that’s not right.

If Nine Thousand Years meets an accident, wouldn’t all my glory and wealth be gone?

Life’s tough!
