Chapter 225: Chapter 50: The Prime Minister Who Kept His Blade Hidden for Years! Master of Both Magic Arts and Martial Arts

Were they ever given a chance to connect with Yue Xiu, the old general?

They wouldn’t have ended up becoming the godsons of a eunuch.

"Hmm?"

Wei Hongfang, known as the ’Nine Thousand Year Lord’, after being informed by Yun Hu and Guan Bao, realized that the young man not far away was none other than Ye Liuyun, with whom he had a past connection.

This young?

Hearsay is just that, but seeing Ye Liuyun in person, looking so young yet already a Grandmaster...

Wei Hongfang subconsciously furrowed his brows.

Possessing an instinct for profit and avoiding harm, despite his seemingly superior demeanor, Wei Hongfang wasn’t foolish.

On one hand, he understood that his master, the old emperor, wanted him to behave in such a manner.

On the other hand, he knew that these people posed no threat to him.

Offending them was neither here nor there.

But this Ye Liuyun was not to be trifled with.

Already a Grandmaster now and perhaps someday, someone truly untouchable.

Damn it!

The thought that he had inadvertently acquired such a dangerous enemy made Wei Hongfang feel gloomier.

But now, enmity had been established, and it was too late to say anything.

Just hoping the old emperor would emerge soon to nip Ye Liuyun in the bud.

"Humph!"

As Wei Hongfang intently watched Ye Liuyun.

Yue Xiu, noticing the scene, let out a not-too-soft cold snort, loud enough to reach Wei Hongfang’s ears.

"..."

Wei Hongfang realized that Yue Xiu was warning him.

Why hadn’t it been said before that this young man had such a good relationship with Yue Xiu, unexpectedly standing up for him in public?

"Let’s go!"

Knowing he couldn’t provoke Yue Xiu, Wei Hongfang said no more, waving his hand to signal the bearers to carry him elsewhere, out of sight, out of mind.

Once the master breaks out, all current problems would dissipate.

Unbelievable.

Does he really think that when the master steps forth, Yue Xiu will be able to protect Ye Liuyun?

"Thank you, Old General Yue!"

Watching Wei Hongfang leave like that.

Though fearless, Ye Liuyun still appreciated the favor from Yue Xiu.

"Work hard!"

Yue Xiu didn’t say much. He understood the meaning behind Wei Hongfang’s final glance before leaving.

Indeed.

Once the old emperor reclaims the throne, even with the best intentions, it might be impossible to shelter Ye Liuyun.

But who can predict the final outcome?

After patting Ye Liuyun’s shoulder twice,

Yue Xiu left!

The time for the morning assembly was almost upon them, and following the crowd, Ye Liuyun stepped onto the court for the first time.

,,

Civil and military officials mostly stood separately.

The literati on one side and the military officers on the other.

Taking advantage of the moment, Ye Liuyun spotted the current Prime Minister, Fu Zhengqing, standing at the forefront of the civil officials’ line.

The man appeared middle-aged, his expression indifferent, as if he cared for nothing in the world.

’Grandmaster?’

This was perhaps his first time seeing a Grandmaster!

As the Southern Governor, Ye Liuyun’s position was neither front nor back, right in the middle.

Standing nearby was Northern Governor Lei Zheng.

Such positioning followed strict rules.

Even if Lei Zheng was a supporter of Old General Yue, his position as Northern Governor dictated where he stood.

Even with the emperor’s arrival imminent, many still clustered together, chatting as if Yan Shuzhu, the emperor, were of no significance.

"Are you curious?"

At that moment.

Northern Governor Lei Zheng leaned over with a smile, speaking in a low voice.

"?"

Ye Liuyun looked over, puzzled.

Lei Zheng, straightforward by nature, always spoke his mind.

"Curious about why the general treats you so warmly?"

"..."

Apparently, it wasn’t just him; others had noticed Yue Xiu’s rather warm attitude towards him.

However, seeing Lei Zheng’s smiling face, it seemed he knew something.

"What do you mean?"

Ye Liuyun hardly knew any of the civil and military officials in the court, and thus was even more unaware of the rumors circulating among them.

"Nothing surprising."

Lei Zheng first chuckled and shook his head, seemingly not astonished by the affair.

"If the general’s young son hadn’t died, he’d be about your age now!"

"..."

Is he taking me as a son?

However.

"Do we resemble each other so closely?"

Could it be that he resembled Yue Xiu’s young son a lot?

"Not in the least!"

Lei Zheng shook his head decisively.

Aside from having one nose and two eyes, being human, there was no similarity.

"..."

Your words are a bit roundabout.

Ye Liuyun ceased speculation, waiting for Lei Zheng to continue.

Soon, through Lei Zheng’s account, Ye Liuyun had a good understanding.

General Yue’s young son was once a prodigious youth drawing much attention.

Postnatal at twelve, Innate at sixteen, many believed he would be the youngest prodigy of the Great Qian Dynasty to break through to the Grandmaster Realm, a son Yue Xiu pinned great hopes on.

"The general, having spent his life in battle, indeed had many descendants in his early years, but most accompanied him to the battlefield, remaining there."

Speaking of this, Lei Zheng’s expression turned nostalgic.

As if reminiscing about the glorious days of yore.
