Embroidered Uniform Guard: I Can Plunder Talents-Chapter 139 - 21: A Familiar Face in the Dungeon, Reunion with the Enchantress (Part 2)

Chapter 139: Chapter 21: A Familiar Face in the Dungeon, Reunion with the Enchantress (Part 2)

The women behind Ye Liuyun couldn’t help but let out a startled cry, huddling closer behind him, as if only doing so could bring them a sense of safety.

*Ahem ahem!*

Faced with so many young and pretty ladies—

Si Nan’s heart practically started floating.

He cleared his throat, then put on a perfectly serious face and said,

"No need to worry, we’re Embroidered Uniform Guards just like the boss here. We’ve come to rescue you all."

With those words—

The ladies finally relaxed a bit, but they still stuck close together, too afraid to speak.

Si Nan could understand, really. These women had been dragged in here and locked up, days who knows how many. Of course they’d be scared out of their wits; it’d take some time to recover.

Compared to Si Nan—

Shi Sheng was way more direct.

He didn’t even bother glancing at the women; his eyes went straight to Ye Liuyun.

"Boss, all the bald monks guarding the place have been taken care of."

If it were before—

Shi Sheng might’ve had a bit of respect for the Brahma Sect, seeing as they were a prestigious sect, even if he hadn’t crossed paths with them.

But now—

Ha! Bald donkeys, every last one of them.

"But I saw someone a bit... special in the cell up ahead."

"Special?"

Ye Liuyun perked up, a little intrigued.

If Shi Sheng thought someone was special, then they sure weren’t your average nobody.

"Take me to see!"

...

Soon enough, Ye Liuyun stopped in front of a cell door.

He looked inside at the figure huddled in the corner, back turned to him, and couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows.

No wonder Shi Sheng called this one ’special.’

"Long time no see, Brother Qu—still as heroic and striking as ever!"

Qu Yinghua: ...

Hadn’t noticed before, but damn—your mouth is vicious!

Yep, the guy hiding in the corner, avoiding showing his face, was none other than the little overlord with the divine gun, Qu Yinghua, who’d bumped into them just outside Nanmu City not long ago.

"I was ambushed, OK!"

So embarrassing—just way too embarrassing.

Qu Yinghua really hadn’t expected his reunion with Ye Liuyun would look like this.

Since his identity was outed,

Might as well not hide; Qu Yinghua stood up, face full of shame.

"Those bastards actually tricked me! And here I thought, Yunkong Temple being holy ground of the Brahma Sect, it’d be packed with honorable folks."

He got angrier the more he thought about it.

When he parted ways with Ye Liuyun,

Qu Yinghua had started investigating around Yunkong Temple.

In his mind, there was no way Yunkong Temple was involved in this mess; someone must’ve been impersonating Brahma Sect monks to pull off these dirty deeds.

If anything, this was just sullying Brahma Sect’s good name.

Qu Yinghua went straight to Yunkong Temple, laid out his whole analysis.

He’d hoped they’d help. After all, with someone dragging down the Brahma Sect’s reputation, surely Yunkong Temple wouldn’t just ignore it.

And then, things went downhill fast.

Qu Yinghua hadn’t guarded himself against the monks at all.

As soon as they invited him, he foolishly followed to eat. Then, after just one meal, next thing he knew, he was waking up locked in the dungeon.

If by this point—

Qu Yinghua still couldn’t figure it out,

The ones kidnapping women weren’t impersonating Brahma Sect monks—they *were* Brahma Sect monks. If he didn’t get that, he’d be an absolute idiot.

The more he thought, the angrier he got.

"When I left the mountain, my old man warned me the jianghu’s a crooked, vicious place—I wasn’t buying it. But now? Damn, this jianghu is vicious as hell!"

Vicious doesn’t even begin to cover it.

Here he was, so smart, and he’d still been duped, even lost his gun.

"Can’t believe I ended up like this!"

Hearing Qu Yinghua practically stomping as he spoke,

Ye Liuyun couldn’t hold back a laugh.

"You should count your blessings you’ve got a good dad. Didn’t notice all the others locked up here are girls? If not for your father’s big name, I bet you’d already be dead by now!"

It wasn’t hard to guess—

The only reason Yunkong Temple didn’t kill Qu Yinghua was because his father held the Grandmaster title as the Gun God.

Brahma Sect wasn’t afraid of one Grandmaster, but why provoke trouble?

If the old man came looking and dug up what Yunkong Temple was up to, now *that* would be a disaster.

Most likely, the monks hadn’t figured out yet what to do with Qu Yinghua, so they just locked him up and waited to come up with a solution.

"Tsk!"

He was still salty about it.

But Qu Yinghua didn’t deny it.

He’d come down the mountain to prove himself, make a name with his own skills,

But sometimes, you really do benefit from your family’s reputation.

"Thanks for getting me out of this mess!"

Once they’d left the cell, Qu Yinghua cupped his fists, looking seriously at Ye Liuyun.

Sure, he was a bit of an edgelord—

But it was obvious Qu Yinghua’s character was solid: he repaid grudges, didn’t let things slide.

"Let’s team up and wipe out this Yunkong Temple!"

Just thinking about how he didn’t even get to fight before getting drugged and tossed into a dungeon—Qu Yinghua was filled with unwillingness. At least let him throw a couple punches first!

"Teaming up is fine by me."

As he spoke, Ye Liuyun’s gaze drifted meaningfully over Qu Yinghua.

Some odd thought seemed to hit him, and he broke into a grin.

"Where’s your gun? The Divine Gun Kid without a gun—what’s the point of teaming up?"

..."

Qu Yinghua’s face went dark.

Yeah, all his skills pretty much relied on that long spear. Without his weapon, Qu Yinghua’s strength would drop by at least seventy percent.
