Embroidered Uniform Guard: I Can Plunder Talents

Lei Zheng just realized.

Although the court had adjourned, Fu Zhengqing and Yue Xiu showed no intention of leaving. It seemed that Wei Hongfang, the Nine-Thousand-Year Lord, had informed them earlier, and finally sought out Ye Liuyun.

Fu Zhengqing’s eyes were profound, revealing no trace of emotion, merely standing there quietly.

Yue Xiu was the same.

With one hand on the hilt of his sword at his waist, he kept his eyes closed, as if lost in thought.

"This,,"

Something’s wrong!

Seeing this scene, Lei Zheng’s first reaction was that something had gone awry. For Fu Zhengqing, Yue Xiu, and Ye Liuyun to remain here meant this was no trivial matter.

"Have some faith in your general, go back first!"

Ye Liuyun placed a hand on Lei Zheng’s shoulder.

Understanding that Lei Zheng would be concerned about Yue Xiu’s situation, but if Lei Zheng stayed here, it would only hinder Yue Xiu.

Ultimately.

Lei Zheng nodded and left, though his expression was somewhat heavy.

Even with eyes closed, Yue Xiu was constant aware of Lei Zheng’s situation.

Opening his eyes, he nodded towards Ye Liuyun, expressing gratitude for Ye Liuyun persuading Lei Zheng to leave.

For this.

Ye Liuyun merely smiled.

He had a good relationship with Lei Zheng, and even if not for Yue Xiu, he would not stand by and watch Lei Zheng encounter an accident.

,,,

After everyone had left.

Wei Hongfang, the Nine-Thousand-Year Lord, gazed smilingly at the remaining trio of Ye Liuyun, Fu Zhengqing, and Yue Xiu.

"You three, come along with us!"

Saying so, Wei Hongfang led the way forward, heading towards the rear courtyard of the palace.

"Land Immortal, ah, I wonder what kind of spectacle it shall be!"

Grinning, after a sigh of admiration.

Ye Liuyun was the first to step forward, following with a smile on his face, Yue Xiu similarly followed, his expression bland and unchanged.

As for Fu Zhengqing.

Though Fu Zhengqing had the highest cultivation among the three, being the sole Grandmaster.

Yet he was the most unsettled at this moment.

Thinking of facing the old emperor, Fu Zhengqing’s breathing became uneven.

Having walked several steps, seeing Fu Zhengqing still not catching up, Wei Hongfang turned back, smilingly spoke to Fu Zhengqing.

"Lord Fu, what’s the matter? Why aren’t you coming along?"

While saying so.

Wei Hongfang’s eyes even carried a hint of teasing amusement.

Evidently aware of why Fu Zhengqing was so, despite being a Grandmaster, in front of the master’s presence, wouldn’t he still have to bow obediently?

",,,"

Fu Zhengqing didn’t respond.

He merely exhaled a turbid breath before stepping forward.

Regarding the teasing in Wei Hongfang’s eyes, he didn’t even spare a glance.

,,,

The palace’s rear courtyard.

Upon their arrival.

Yan Shuzhu sat opposite a middle-aged man in the courtyard, the man gentle yet unable to conceal the domineering aura between his brows.

"Target: Yan Fuhai!

Cultivation: Early Land Immortal!

Talent Entries: Impervious to All Laws (Red), Heaven Gazing and Earth Measuring (Gold), Destiny Retribution (Gold),"

"Impervious to All Laws (Red): Self is unaffected by any cultivation technique or spell lower than one’s own cultivation level."

"Heaven Gazing and Earth Measuring (Gold): Possesses strong perception of Power of Fortune, able to keenly detect the aura of heaven and earth."

"Destiny Retribution (Gold): Due to excessively absorbing a nation’s fortune, now suffers the pain of destiny’s retribution!"

Impressive, one red and two gold.

Up until now, it was Ye Liuyun’s first time seeing a red quality talent entry on someone else.

All one could say was, indeed it’s a Land Immortal.

However, Destiny Retribution?

Ye Liuyun had heard some rumors, that the old emperor Yan Fuhai managed to breakthrough so quickly by leveraging the power of fortune.

Yet the power of fortune isn’t so easily controlled.

If one isn’t careful, they might suffer destiny retribution and be abandoned by heaven and earth, which would be a harsh price.

Yet.

Observing Yan Fuhai’s current state, he didn’t appear greatly impacted.

"Minister Fu Zhengqing, presenting to Your Majesty!"

The last to arrive, Fu Zhengqing suddenly rushed to the forefront.

With hands held in salute, he respectfully greeted Yan Fuhai.

In stark contrast to the casual demeanor when facing Yan Shuzhu.

"Hahaha! Long time no see, Zhengqing."

Yan Fuhai laughed amiably, waving his hand to imply that Fu Zhengqing need not be overly formal.

"Presenting to Your Majesty!"

Unlike Fu Zhengqing, upon seeing Yan Fuhai in person, Yue Xiu’s eyes first darkened, then he spoke in a low tone simply.

His voice conveying no other meaning.

Beside him, Ye Liuyun also cupped his hands, looking up and down.

An alive Land Immortal.

One wonders what kind of spectacle it would be when a fight ensues.

"It’s been a long time, I missed His Majesty very much as well!"

Fu Zhengqing now smiled warmly, as though it wasn’t he who tried to disrupt Yan Fuhai’s secluded cultivation before.

Upon hearing this.

Yan Fuhai merely smiled.

His gaze first settled on Fu Zhengqing, before turning towards Yue Xiu and Ye Liuyun.

Yan Fuhai seemed to have anticipated Yue Xiu’s indifferent attitude and didn’t mind.
