Embroidered Uniform Guard: I Can Plunder Talents

"Can’t help it, things just happened to collide!"

Shrugging his shoulders, Ye Liuyun didn’t care what Fu Zhengqing thought of him, so he sneered as he spoke.

"If you have to say it, you can only consider yourself unlucky!"

It just so happened that Marquis Rong’gong appeared at this moment, and Fu Zhengqing was about to implement his plan at this time, which meant a coincidence, so Ye Liuyun took advantage of it.

"..."

You really have no reverence for the Grandmaster.

The courtyard was completely quiet.

Shu Fan, filled with admiration, looked at Ye Liuyun right now, loving that kind of personality. The more reckless and wanton he was, the more Shu Fan found himself liking Ye Liuyun.

Even if it meant being dragged into the anger of the Grandmaster and dying here.

In Shu Fan’s view, that would be worth it in this lifetime.

The imagined angry reaction did not appear.

Fu Zhengqing just remained silent for a moment.

Perhaps it was because they’d been dealing with each other so often.

Fu Zhengqing now hearing Ye Liuyun speaking to him in this manner actually felt somewhat genuine.

Habits really are a frightening thing.

If one day, Ye Liuyun began acting like a well-behaved child, speaking softly in front of Fu Zhengqing, then Fu Zhengqing would feel incredibly strange.

"Aren’t you worried at all, or are you an agent arranged by the old emperor?"

By the end, Fu Zhengqing’s eyes had become much sharper.

Smart people do like to overthink.

Seeing how suspicious Fu Zhengqing was of him, the smile on Ye Liuyun’s face became even broader.

"Actually, you got something wrong!"

"???"

Under Fu Zhengqing’s puzzled gaze.

Ye Liuyun stood up and said to Fu Zhengqing word by word.

"We have never been on the same path!"

In Fu Zhengqing’s view, his and Ye Liuyun’s goals were aligned, so they should be on the same path.

But in Ye Liuyun’s view.

He and Fu Zhengqing were never on the same path and never could be partners.

"You are a Grandmaster, but you are old, scared, unable to let go of the power in your hands, too focused on the Great Qian; if all Grandmasters were like you, then I’d rather be an ordinary Grandmaster!"

Ye Liuyun spoke with no reservations.

Just short of pointing at Fu Zhengqing’s nose, calling him a coward.

"I’m not like you, I’m very young. Youth means freedom. Some people spend their entire lives in the Fourteen States of the World, unable to see all of it. If I can’t stay here, I can simply go elsewhere."

"That’s the biggest difference between you and me!"

By the end, Ye Liuyun’s tone had risen several notches.

The freedom and unruliness interspersed in it were palpable to anyone listening.

The reason Ye Liuyun is still serving as the Southern Governor now is mainly because this position indeed provides him with many conveniences.

But that doesn’t mean.

Ye Liuyun has to be the Southern Governor.

If things become unfavorable, he can still shake off the burden and leave.

As long as he maintains his strength, other problems aren’t really problems.

"..."

Fu Zhengqing was silent.

Honestly, if Fu Zhengqing were ten years younger, maybe he would think like Ye Liuyun.

Unfortunately.

Fu Zhengqing was now old, unwilling to give up the Prime Minister position he’d worked hard for most of his life. He couldn’t be like Ye Liuyun, leaving whenever he wanted.

"I see!"

There was no anger, instead, Fu Zhengqing smiled.

At this moment, he could understand why Ye Liuyun claimed to be completely different from him.

"But no matter what, anyone who hinders me won’t be let off!"

Fu Zhengqing didn’t care whether Ye Liuyun wanted to cooperate with him, but as long as Ye Liuyun could promise not to disrupt his plans again, that would suffice.

"Then we’ll see if there are more coincidences in the future. Of course, if Lord Fu doesn’t like this answer, you can act now. I’d also like to see what a Grandmaster is capable of!"

After speaking.

Ye Liuyun spread his hands.

Acting as if he was waiting for Fu Zhengqing to strike.

"..."

This is youthful arrogance, isn’t it?

Fu Zhengqing had encountered many young people like Ye Liuyun, had seen many similar talents.

But as audacious as Ye Liuyun, he was definitely the first Fu Zhengqing had met.

Do you truly not know the gap between a Grandmaster and a regular Grandmaster?

Or is it purely youthful bravado, fearless and undaunted?

Ultimately, burdened with concerns, Fu Zhengqing simply gave Ye Liuyun a deep look and left.

In an instant.

The oppressive atmosphere in the courtyard lightened considerably with Fu Zhengqing’s departure.

"He... just left!"

Honestly.

Although it felt thrilling, with Fu Zhengqing gone now, Shu Fan and the others still felt a lingering fear.

That was too thrilling.

If Fu Zhengqing had actually taken action, wouldn’t everyone here be doomed?

"You were amazing!"

After the thrill subsided.

Shu Fan rushed towards Ye Liuyun, hugging him directly.

Not everyone has the courage to speak to a Grandmaster like that, but Shu Fan just found Ye Liuyun incredibly unique, feeling that Ye Liuyun was practically glowing at that moment in her eyes.

"Just a Grandmaster, it’s only a matter of time!"

With one hand supporting an excited Shu Fan.

Ye Liuyun casually said.

Others might find a Grandmaster unreachable their whole life, something high above.

But for Ye Liuyun.

A Grandmaster is merely one stage in life, destined to be beneath him.

Lacking talent?

Then just accumulate others’ talents.

If one’s not enough, then ten, if ten’s not enough, then a hundred, just keep piling them up.

Sooner or later, it’ll amount to a Grandmaster.
