Embroidered Uniform Guard: I Can Plunder Talents-Chapter 116 - 13: Like Being a Schemer? I’ll Find Something for You to Do_3

Chapter 116: Chapter 13: Like Being a Schemer? I’ll Find Something for You to Do_3

The true culprit behind my son’s death, is actually the Southern Governor Qi Yuanliang?

Shi Xing’an looked over in disbelief.

Ye Liuyun only smiled faintly, without intending to answer.

In fact, a Martial Artist’s mind is firm. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Especially someone like Shi Xing’an who has already broken through to the Postnatal Realm—a normal Illusion Heart Magic would barely affect a Postnatal Martial Artist like him.

But there’s nothing to be done.

Because of his son’s death, Shi Xing’an’s spirit was clearly shaken.

And with Ye Liuyun’s subtle guiding words, Shi Xing’an ultimately still fell into Ye Liuyun’s trap of language.

"So, still planning to fight me?"

Hands spread, Ye Liuyun looked at Shi Xing’an with sly amusement.

",,,"

In the end.

After a moment of silence, Shi Xing’an turned and left.

There’s a good show coming.

Watching Shi Xing’an’s retreating back, the smile on Ye Liuyun’s face grew deeper.

Exactly what I was hoping for.

Ye Liuyun was quite curious too—how would Qi Yuanliang’s performance continue from here?

Though Shi Xing’an left,

Ye Liuyun noticed that the Xing’Er he had been protecting in his arms at first, was now watching him worriedly.

Ye Liuyun gave a small smile.

"Don’t worry. Your old master is quite capable—this sort of thing is nothing at all."

"Mmhmm!"

Though she was still a bit anxious inside,

hearing Ye Liuyun say so, Xing’Er nodded seriously.

The next day.

When Ye Liuyun arrived at the Embroidered Uniform Guard, he saw Si Nan, still suffering from a hangover.

And beside him, Shi Sheng was looking natural, practicing martial arts in the courtyard.

Both of them had clearly drunk last night, but Shi Sheng seemed perfectly fine and could even practice as usual.

Si Nan, though, just felt uncomfortable all over.

"Sir, are we going out to patrol the streets today?"

Usually, when there were no cases,

Ye Liuyun would only do three things: read files, visit the Imperial Prison, and street patrol.

"Not today!"

Thinking of last night’s events, Ye Liuyun smiled and said,

"There might be a good show today. If we miss it, wouldn’t that be a shame."

"A good show?"

Those words made Si Nan freeze in surprise.

Even Shi Sheng, practicing nearby, looked over curiously.

"You’ll know the specifics when it happens. Just wait and see!"

Last night, Ye Liuyun gave Shi Xing’an a psychological suggestion using Illusion Heart Magic. It should have some effect.

But how much trouble it actually stirs up—well, they’ll only know once it happens.

Si Nan and Shi Sheng were both curious,

but seeing Ye Liuyun talk like that,

they just nodded to show understanding.

Meanwhile.

Shi Xing’an, who’d spent the whole night muddled and sleepless, also arrived at the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

The news of Shi Xing’an’s son’s death hadn’t fully spread within the Embroidered Uniform Guard yet.

So when people saw Shi Xing’an, many greeted him with smiles.

"Lord Thousand Households Shi!"

"My lord Thousand Households!"

Normally, faced with such greetings, Shi Xing’an would smile and greet them back.

He’d even feel a surge of pride inside.

After all, it showed his status in the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

But now, Shi Xing’an’s mind was in total chaos. He ignored all the greetings and walked straight into the depths of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

"???"

His reaction left many people shocked.

Some even believed now that since Shi Xing’an became Lord Thousand Households, he was starting to look down on others.

They rolled their eyes and began whispering complaints behind his back.

And so, Shi Xing’an made his way to Southern Garrison Commander’s Office and Qi Yuanliang.

Qi Yuanliang was currently sipping tea and reading through a dossier.

Lately, Qi Yuanliang had been in quite a good mood.

Though Ye Liuyun had shown more skill than Qi Yuanliang had expected, Qi Yuanliang already had a whole set of countermeasures, confident he could subdue Ye Liuyun with ease.

Make him serve his purposes.

Thinking this, Qi Yuanliang felt even more relaxed and self-assured.

But then...

He noticed Shi Xing’an walk straight in, not even bothering with a greeting.

Qi Yuanliang’s expression paused; he frowned in slight displeasure, but quickly adjusted his mood and gave Shi Xing’an his usual friendly demeanor.

"Lord Thousand Households Shi, is there something I can help you with?"

"Sir!"

Shi Xing’an, previously expressionless, showed a flicker of feeling upon seeing Qi Yuanliang.

"Please, sir, I beg for your help!"

",,,"

In truth,

Qi Yuanliang wasn’t surprised at Shi Xing’an’s behavior.

After all, he’d had Shadow tracking Ye Liuyun, so Qi Yuanliang knew well that Ye Liuyun had crippled Shi Xing’an’s son—and that the son was now dead.

Qi Yuanliang actually didn’t care much.

Most of Ye Liuyun’s words were meant to provoke and stir Shi Xing’an’s emotions, said deliberately.

Yet on another level,

Ye Liuyun did understand the workings of Qi Yuanliang’s mind.

People like Qi Yuanliang who are good at hiding and scheming, their hearts grow ever colder and more concerned with profit.

Ultimately,

Shi Xing’an was simply too weak—a guy only just at the entry of Postnatal, how could he compare to Innate Perfection Ye Liuyun?

"Ahem!"

So, facing Shi Xing’an’s pleading gaze, Qi Yuanliang cleared his throat and spoke.

"Lord Thousand Households Shi, I think you’d better calm down. You know Ye Liuyun’s strength. Let’s not rush into things—better to consider them at length."

He might not be much, but at least he has some value.

Qi Yuanliang intended to keep using Shi Xing’an, so his words carried an undertone of further stirring trouble between Ye Liuyun and Shi Xing’an.

But—

"So you knew from the very beginning that my son was dead, sir?"
