Embroidered Uniform Guard: I Can Plunder Talents

"Alright! Alright!"

Seeing Feng Feiyi like this, Ye Liuyun couldn’t help but smile knowingly.

He waved his hand, signaling to Feng Feiyi that he could get up.

"I get what you mean. You’re still injured, so just be honest and focus on recovering. You’ll be useful later!"

For Ye Liuyun, as long as Feng Feiyi is alive and well, that’s the biggest benefit.

Upon hearing this,

Si Nan and Shi Sheng, standing to the side, quickly stepped over to help Feng Feiyi get up.

The wounds weren’t fatal, but there were plenty of them. If he didn’t take care, it was easy for something to go wrong later.

"Many thanks to all of you!"

Feng Feiyi looked gratefully toward Si Nan and the others.

"We’re brothers now—no need for all that!"

Si Nan grinned and waved his hand dismissively.

From now on, they’d all be working with Ye Liuyun, so there was no need to stand on ceremony.

"All arranged?"

Ye Liuyun glanced at Si Nan.

"Heh, don’t worry, boss!"

Si Nan chuckled at Ye Liuyun’s question, his whole face an assurance.

"Zhu Han is already inside the Marquis Rong’gong’s mansion. He’s a solid Innate Realm mid-stage martial artist, and right now, the Marquis probably treats him like a precious treasure and keeps him close."

The news that Marquis Rong’gong wanted to recruit bodyguards—

As soon as it came out, Si Nan saw it immediately. He knew Ye Liuyun wanted to deal with this Marquis, so right there, Si Nan came up with a plan.

He discussed it with Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun agreed right away.

If Marquis Rong’gong wanted a strong bodyguard, then just send him one!

Mid-stage Innate Realm—plenty strong enough!

"You’re something else. You even know someone like Zhu Han!"

Shi Sheng, standing to the side, was full of admiration as he looked at Si Nan.

Clearly, he knew Zhu Han.

"Heh! Thanks a lot—really!"

But hearing Shi Sheng’s comment, Si Nan just rolled his eyes in annoyance.

As if I couldn’t tell? Was that even a compliment?

Not even close to sounding like praise.

"What’s the deal with this Zhu Han, anyway?"

But it was Jiang Jing next to them, listening to Si Nan and Shi Sheng go back and forth, who looked over curiously.

For the past few years, he’d worked under Prince Jin Yan Ze, so he didn’t really know much about the up-and-comers of the Jianghu. Naturally, he’d never heard of Zhu Han.

"How should I put it..."

Si Nan scratched his head.

Meeting Jiang Jing’s gaze, Si Nan decided to explain.

"This Zhu Han, back in the day, was known as the Chrysanthemum Thief."

"Chrysanthemum Thief?"

Jiang Jing’s face was full of confusion.

He’d heard of the Flower Thief, but Chrysanthemum Thief? That was a first.

No choice—Si Nan had to elaborate.

Turns out, though Zhu Han is big and burly, and not lacking in cultivation, he has a particular quirk—not interested in women, but rather, he’s fond of handsome young men. In his early years, plenty of good-looking boys suffered at his hands.

Once, due to a mishap, he got caught by the Embroidered Uniform Guard and was locked up in the Celestial Prison for a few years.

Pretty rare for a martial artist to ever get released.

On one hand, Zhu Han’s skills are good, and the court wanted to recruit him.

On the other hand—

His preferences might be unusual, but he’s not a killer.

The ones he "victimized" before never suffered any real harm. In fact, Zhu Han was quite nice to them, and even proposed marriage to some! It’s just that everyone was scared half to death by him.

Marriage? Absolutely out of the question.

"Actually, Zhu Han hasn’t made a move in two years. If we hadn’t met a few times, I might not have found him!"

Truth be told—

It really helped that Marquis Rong’gong was so desperate for a strong guard.

Otherwise, Si Nan’s plan wouldn’t necessarily have worked.

"Uh!"

Jiang Jing, who’d started out looking pretty calm,

found his lips twitching after Si Nan finished describing Zhu Han.

"The world is full of wonders, huh!"

Live and learn, he supposed.

There really are all kinds of characters out here!

"Hahahaha!"

Shi Sheng, listening to Jiang Jing’s amazement,

couldn’t help bursting into laughter.

He slapped Si Nan’s shoulder with a big grin.

"It’s all thanks to our Lord Thousand Households Si for being well-connected! If we had to do it ourselves, we could never have found someone like that!"

"Get lost!"

Si Nan slapped away Shi Sheng’s hand with a sour look.

After I break through to Postnatal Realm, I’m definitely going to spar with this Shi Sheng—and see if you keep running your mouth!

The cheerful mood—

even had Feng Feiyi grinning at the side, unable to hold in his laughter.

Maybe he was imagining Marquis Rong’gong’s future fate, and it just brightened his mood!

"Alright!"

In the end,

it was Ye Liuyun who brought everyone back on track, drawing their attention.

"Let’s put the Marquis Rong’gong business aside for now. His Majesty’s birthday is coming up, and nothing can go wrong. Patrols must be arranged every day, and if anyone tries any tricks, we punish them by Embroidered Uniform Guard rules, understood?"

There’s a time for jokes,

but when it comes to real work, Ye Liuyun never slacks off.

"Yes, boss!"

Hearing Ye Liuyun,

the group nodded, serious and focused.

Seeing this, Ye Liuyun smiled and waved them off, letting everyone disperse.
