Embroidered Uniform Guard: I Can Plunder Talents

Ye Liuyun remembered.

Yan Shuzhu had previously said that he had arranged a future path for Lv Lan.

It was the identity of a personal disciple of a Sword Spirit Sect elder. With this identity, if Lv Lan went to the Sword Spirit Sect, he presumably would not face any life-threatening dangers.

"..."

Lv Lan was silent for a moment.

Then he lifted his head and seriously spoke to Ye Liuyun.

"I will not leave!"

When he promised Yan Shuzhu earlier, it was only to reassure the other party.

But if danger truly arose, he would absolutely not leave.

Having grown up with Yan Shuzhu and achieved the cultivation accomplishments he had mostly thanks to Yan Shuzhu’s help, now that Yan Shuzhu was in danger, he only thought of escaping to save his own life.

Could you still call that being human?

Seeing Lv Lan like this, Ye Liuyun smiled slightly; this was the Lv Lan he remembered.

After saying this, Lv Lan.

Still looked earnestly and gravely at Ye Liuyun, as if wanting to gain Ye Liuyun’s support.

"Alright, first tell me, what’s the situation exactly!"

Ye Liuyun needed to know what was going on.

The old emperor had exited seclusion, yet there was no news coming from the palace.

Logically speaking.

The moment the old emperor exited seclusion, he should have immediately reclaimed the throne, right? If that were the case, it should have been proclaimed to the world, but not a word had been spread.

If Lv Lan hadn’t come.

Ye Liuyun wouldn’t have known that the old emperor had exited seclusion.

"There are so many things, I actually don’t know much either!"

Lv Lan first shook his head, but then still shared everything he knew with Ye Liuyun.

The old emperor indeed exited seclusion.

But compared to the domineering forcefulness from the beginning, after exiting, the old emperor seemed to have become more amiable and approachable.

Upon seeing Yan Shuzhu, he didn’t demand him to hand over the throne.

Instead, he conversed with Yan Shuzhu face to face, reminiscing about childhood stories, like a kindly elder.

"Do you think the old emperor improved his cultivation and his mental state broke through too, which is why he changed?"

Saying this.

Lv Lan couldn’t help but look toward Ye Liuyun.

As if seeking an answer he wanted to hear from Ye Liuyun.

After all, if the old emperor truly changed, Yan Shuzhu presumably would not be in any danger, right?

"What do you think?"

This self-deceiving thought was not one Ye Liuyun would entertain.

Moreover, Ye Liuyun always believed in not placing hope on others.

Rather than hoping others improve, it’s better to strengthen oneself and make others learn to behave.

"A leopard never changes its spots, surely you know this truth!"

Indeed, people change, but no matter how much they change, their essence does not alter significantly.

"..."

Lv Lan became silent.

Clearly, Lv Lan was aware of this too, only he was initially hesitant to acknowledge it.

"Huh!"

After letting out a long breath.

Lv Lan still firmly said.

"Anyway, whether or not there is danger, I will not leave!"

Saying this, Lv Lan also seriously looked at Ye Liuyun before him.

As if wanting to hear Ye Liuyun’s response.

"Don’t look at me like that; don’t you know what kind of person I am?"

Seeing Lv Lan looking at him this way.

Ye Liuyun shrugged and said with a matter-of-fact tone.

"If there really is danger, I would definitely run, but I could take Yan Shuzhu with me. Even without the identity of the Great Qian emperor, we could still live well elsewhere!"

Saying this, Ye Liuyun nodded naturally as if it was obvious.

"Truly, that’s just like you!"

This response made Lv Lan chuckle.

Just like the Ye Liuyun he remembered.

Lv Lan smiled and nodded, saying nothing more.

...

The old emperor’s exit from seclusion didn’t cause any disturbance.

Even the news didn’t spread outside the palace; except for a few individuals, most civil and military officials were unaware the old emperor had exited seclusion.

In the next morning’s court session, Yan Shuzhu still sat on the dragon throne, listening to ministers’ reports.

But after the session concluded.

Unexpectedly, to Ye Liuyun, Wei Hongfang, the Eunuch with Nine Thousand Years, approached with a smile.

"Governor Ye, please stay!"

"Hmm?"

Seeing Wei Hongfang calling him, Ye Liuyun raised his eyebrows and turned around.

"Governor Ye, please wait, someone wishes to meet you!"

"..."

Seeing Wei Hongfang smiling like this, Ye Liuyun could roughly guess who Wei Hongfang was referring to.

After all.

Everyone in Great Qian knew that Wei Hongfang was the old emperor’s most loyal dog.

The old emperor exiting seclusion, naturally, Wei Hongfang would be the happiest.

"Since the Eunuch with Nine Thousand Years said so, naturally, I must meet them!"

Ye Liuyun smiled as well.

Just eager for a chance to meet this Land Immortal.

On the side, Lei Zheng, who originally planned to leave with Ye Liuyun, couldn’t help but frown, almost thinking the Eunuch with Nine Thousand Years came to cause trouble.

"You may leave first!"

Seeing Lei Zheng wanting to say something.

Ye Liuyun spoke first, smiling as he said.

"Didn’t you see that General Yue and Lord Fu haven’t left? As long as they’re around, even if there’s trouble, it won’t affect me!"
