Chapter 296: Chapter 73: A Grandmaster’s Favor! When It Comes to Talent, the More the Better_3

They believed Ye Liuyun was just a young man full of himself, and sooner or later, he would stumble.

"Let’s consider this matter over. Within the allowed limits, I can grant you one request."

Before, he only saw Ye Liuyun as a complacent youngster.

But now, Fu Zhengqing thought perhaps there was no need to become enemies with him, after all, they had a common enemy—the old emperor.

Ye Liuyun was surprised.

He didn’t expect Fu Zhengqing to go to such lengths for Yan Jiang.

A Grandmaster’s favor, at certain times, is more valuable than countless wealth.

To the side, Sheng Lanzhi, holding a teacup, was trembling even more violently.

She knew Ye Liuyun was outstanding, but she didn’t expect him to be outstanding to this extent.

To befriend a Grandmaster.

With the Grandmaster’s reputation, her business association was thriving.

If she could leverage a Grandmaster’s reputation, tsk! It’s unimaginable.

However, Sheng Lanzhi also understood that using a Grandmaster’s name for such matters would be truly foolish.

"Since Lord Fu has spoken, wouldn’t it be ungrateful of me to refuse?"

After all, it boiled down to not having enough strength.

Currently being a Grandmaster, I had to give face to the Grandmaster.

But if I were a Grandmaster now.

Give face?

Ha, I would slap him backhanded.

Sometimes, words don’t need to be too clear. Hearing Ye Liuyun say this, Fu Zhengqing just smiled indifferently and then stood up directly.

"In that case, I’ll take my leave. If you need anything, feel free to come to me at any time!"

After saying that.

Fu Zhengqing didn’t linger and left directly.

Staring at Fu Zhengqing’s departing figure, Ye Liuyun remained silent for a long time.

At this moment, Sheng Lanzhi had gradually calmed down. Seeing Ye Liuyun’s expression, which seemed not at all happy, she curiously asked in a soft voice.

"Aren’t you happy?"

"Do you think I should be happy?"

Retracting his gaze.

Ye Liuyun turned to look at Sheng Lanzhi.

Without thinking much, Sheng Lanzhi naturally said.

"Of course! This is a Grandmaster we are talking about, in the entire Imperial City, how many people can be treated like this by a Grandmaster? It’s quite an honor!"

"..."

Although Sheng Lanzhi had some ambition, ultimately, she had no real Cultivation Realm.

To Sheng Lanzhi, a Grandmaster was like an Immortal high above, utterly unattainable for ordinary people like them.

Ye Liuyun didn’t respond.

After a moment of silence, he said. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

"Face is something you earn, not something given by others."

Honor? Perhaps.

But in Ye Liuyun’s view, no matter how well Fu Zhengqing hid it, the arrogance in his tone couldn’t be concealed.

Perhaps in Fu Zhengqing’s eyes.

A mere Grandmaster, speaking so humbly to Ye Liuyun, was already a significant gesture of honor.

And Ye Liuyun should feel honored by it.

It’s normal, after all, being a Grandmaster and holding high positions for years.

Being slightly arrogant didn’t seem strange, but Ye Liuyun just didn’t like it.

"Still too weak!"

He sighed softly, raising the teacup beside him.

At this point, Sheng Lanzhi was somewhat puzzled. Why was something seemingly worthy of happiness—a Grandmaster’s favor—making Ye Liuyun turn melancholy instead?

But as a smart woman.

Sheng Lanzhi timely chose not to ask further, instead, she quietly sat by, refilling Ye Liuyun’s tea.

’A single red-grade entry is far from enough; more are needed!’

From others’ perspectives.

Achieving such rapid improvement across multiple levels in such a short time was already monstrous.

But for Ye Liuyun, it was still far from enough.

Not breaking through fast enough?

Then pile on more talents, if one isn’t enough, try two, if two aren’t enough, try three.

In short, if it’s a talent he lacks, he can take from others, as long as it leads to strength.

...

The next day.

Indeed, Ye Liuyun didn’t go on raiding the homes of those officials again.

Similarly, upon seeing Ye Liuyun, each one of them immediately shrank back, not daring to provoke him anymore.

In this situation.

Ye Liuyun didn’t even have the thought of looking at them more, during the morning court, he just played the role of a daydreaming worker.

Lowering his head, letting his thoughts wander.

"Court is dismissed!"

The morning court didn’t last long, and soon, Yan Shuzhu’s voice came out.

Off work!

Hearing these two words, Ye Liuyun realized, finally, work was over.

However.

Ye Liuyun had barely walked a few steps when a eunuch from the palace hurried over, stopping Ye Liuyun.

"Lord Ye, His Majesty requests your presence in the study to discuss some matters!"

The others around.

No one felt this situation was unusual.

After all, they already knew Ye Liuyun was one of Yan Shuzhu’s people, discussing matters with one’s own men seemed only natural, didn’t it?

So.

Even Lei Zheng, who was walking alongside Ye Liuyun, patted him on the shoulder and left first.

"Lord Ye?"

Seeing Ye Liuyun not moving.

The eunuch responsible for delivering the message curiously looked over.

"Alas!"

Overtime!

With a sigh, Ye Liuyun glanced over.

"It’s nothing, just thinking about other matters. Did you say His Majesty is calling for me? Then let’s go!"

"This way, Lord Ye!"

The eunuch dared not ask more questions.

He immediately nodded with a smile, leading the way for Ye Liuyun.
