Embroidered Uniform Guard: I Can Plunder Talents

The guard standing behind Tian Zheng couldn’t hold back his laughter.

With such an obvious intention, do you really think someone won’t see through it and believe what you’re saying now?

All is ready; we’re just waiting for a word from Tian Zheng to act.

It’s only an Early-stage Innate after all, nothing to be concerned about.

But!

"Of course! Hahaha! Does my father’s saber skill need acknowledgment from anyone else?"

Upon hearing Ding Feichen say this, Tian Zheng burst into laughter.

His eyebrows revealed a barely concealed pride.

",,,

So, you actually believed it?

The servant glanced incredulously at his young master.

So, I’ve overestimated Tian Zheng’s intelligence; he really can’t see that Ding Feichen said this only to avoid responsibility?

What an idiot! *2

Not just the servant, even Ding Feichen, upon seeing Tian Zheng’s self-satisfied look, couldn’t help but curse inwardly.

But on the surface, he remained polite.

"Of course! Initially, I wanted to befriend Brother Tian Zheng, but due to status issues, I worried Brother Tian Zheng might look down on me, so I had to resort to this method to get Brother Tian Zheng’s attention!"

"Hmm!"

Tian Zheng believed it.

He even nodded as if it were a matter of course.

With his noble status, wasn’t it natural for the other party to use special means to attract his attention?

"At least you have some self-awareness; after all, you’re just born of a maid, how could you be fit to befriend me?"

He didn’t outright call Ding Feichen a despicable being; it’s unclear if he was being restrained or not.

These words still sounded unpleasant to others.

",,,

Ding Feichen took a while to calm his inner emotions.

Forget it!

What’s the point in getting tangled up with an idiot? The most important thing now is to leave this place, escape safely first.

With this in mind, Ding Feichen glanced warily at Tian Zheng’s servant. If it were just Tian Zheng, no need for pretense, just act.

But alas, circumstances are pressing.

Because of this,

Ding Feichen felt more twisted inside.

Why?

Everyone’s fathers are Grandmasters, are they not?

Just praised Tian Zheng’s father’s saber skill; it was mere flattery. If it really came to a fight, Ding Feichen didn’t think his father would lose. But why does this Tian Zheng go out with skilled servants following him?

And yet I don’t?

Most importantly, Ding Feichen knew his own ’brothers’ faced similar situations to Tian Zheng when they left; they too had servants following to protect them.

But I don’t.

Even though I’m already Innate, breaking through Innate at this age isn’t without reason to be called a genius.

But even so,

I still haven’t gained my father’s favor, ending with just a few words of praise, but most of the time, I’m directly ignored, as if I’m not his son.

Is it just because my mother was a maid?

Endure!

I must endure!

Someday, I’ll let everyone know, Ding Feichen is definitely not a despicable being, and those who’ve scorned me, none will be spared.

"Brother Tian Zheng is right, it’s late now, how about we find an inn and have a long talk? I genuinely wish to befriend Brother Tian Zheng; hopefully, Brother Tian Zheng gives me this chance!"

Tian Zheng didn’t outright refuse.

He instead looked Ding Feichen up and down.

His gaze still had that high-and-mighty air.

After a moment of silence, he finally spoke.

"It’s not that you can’t have this chance!"

Even though he looked down on Ding Feichen’s status, these flattering words felt pleasant to Tian Zheng; he thought having someone like that around wouldn’t be bad.

"Great! Then, ,,

Seeing Tian Zheng’s reaction, Ding Feichen’s face showed joy.

He was about to say something.

But then, Tian Zheng promptly told his servant.

"Go, break his leg!"

As he spoke, he pointed at Ding Feichen.

"???"

Not just Ding Feichen, even the shocked servant thought this silly young master was placated by Ding Feichen’s words.

So, did he see through the other’s thoughts?

Without waiting for Ding Feichen to ask.

Tian Zheng crossed his arms, looked arrogantly, and said.

"Although you deliberately tried to get my attention, your words still made me unhappy. You can escape death but not punishment."

"Let’s break your leg, then you’ll get a chance to be friends with me!"

",,,

This was the man’s uncouth arrogance.

The servant shook his head speechlessly; surely, expecting too much from Tian Zheng was futile. There’s no insight here, just arrogance.

Never mind, he thought, we were going to take action anyway; breaking the leg is just breaking the leg.

The servant didn’t waste words and directly moved toward Ding Feichen.

The Late-stage Innate Inner Strength fluctuations made Ding Feichen’s face pale, stepping back.

"Wait! Brother Tian Zheng, let’s not joke around!"

With a trademark fake smile, Ding Feichen still wanted to try.

"Joke? I never joke!"

Tian Zheng didn’t find anything wrong with his actions.

Instead, he spoke with the tone of inevitability.

"You just need to wait patiently; it’s only a leg, having a chance to associate with me is your fortune!"

",,,

Fortune? Up yours!
