Embroidered Uniform Guard: I Can Plunder Talents-Chapter 34: Since You’re Here, Leaving Like This Is Just Too Rude

Chapter 34: Chapter 34: Since You’re Here, Leaving Like This Is Just Too Rude

When the hot wine and snacks were brought in,

Shi Sheng casually picked one up and started eating.

"No wonder rich people are different, these snacks are pretty damn good."

Si Nan, right next to him, conveniently grabbed the wine jug and poured a cup for Ye Liuyun.

"Sir, if there’s anything you need, just let us know."

The maid who brought the snacks also kept her head down, and softly spoke up.

Ye Liuyun just waved his hand, indicating she could go back, then glanced around the room, his eyes landing on a young woman peeking their way from the window. That must be Landlord Wang’s youngest daughter.

She’s actually a sharp one.

Bringing these things over now... She’s probably figured something out too.

Ye Liuyun grinned openly, raising his cup in a toast-like gesture. No one here is a fool; people who treat others like idiots are the real idiots.

This move actually sparked some curiosity in Wang Mu’Er’s heart.

Because of her status, Wang Mu’Er had met Embroidered Uniform Guards before, but never anyone quite like Ye Liuyun.

,,,

Given the current climate, the night breeze was genuinely chilly.

Thankfully, Ye Liuyun and the others were all Martial Artists—their blood kept them plenty warm.

"Sir, do you think the flower thief’s chickened out?"

They’d been waiting a long time; the wine was all gone, it was already past midnight, and still no sign of the flower thief’s shadow.

Could it be he realized there were Embroidered Uniform Guards here and got scared off?

Ye Liuyun didn’t answer.

He folded his arms, closed his eyes, looking for all the world like he was taking a catnap.

Si Nan didn’t dare interrupt further.

But the next moment, as if Ye Liuyun sensed something, he slowly opened his eyes.

"He’s here!"

After reaching the Innate realm, one’s senses for any inner strength fluctuation within a certain vicinity became extremely sharp.

"Hmm?"

Shi Sheng and Si Nan both froze for a second, but immediately tensed up and went on alert.

If Ye Liuyun said he’s here, then he must be here.

,,,

"Embroidered Uniform Guards? Hah! I’ve had them running in circles!"

Beneath the shade of the moon, a slim silhouette silently slipped into Landlord Wang’s estate.

This was the infamous flower thief Hua Wenxuan. His Qinggong was truly top-notch; not even a sound when his feet crossed over the rooftop tiles.

"A mere concubine? Boring. Now, a young miss that hasn’t even come of age yet, that’s where the real fun is!"

Speaking of which,

Hua Wenxuan’s already rat-like face grew all the more lecherous.

Just as Ye Liuyun had deduced,

Hua Wenxuan’s real aim from the very start wasn’t Landlord Wang’s concubine, but his youngest daughter, Wang Mu’Er.

He’d heard the rumors around town—Wang Mu’Er was not only beautiful, but gentle in character. The moment he learned these details, Hua Wenxuan’s heart for stealing both beauty and treasures could hardly wait.

But he also knew that with Landlord Wang’s wealth, his youngest daughter must be heavily guarded.

Not like the daughters he’s toyed with before.

So Hua Wenxuan devised this scheme: send a letter first, divert everyone’s attention to the concubine.

By the time guards leave Wang Mu’Er’s side, he could do whatever he wanted with her.

At this thought,

Hua Wenxuan’s face turned even more smug.

Wasting no more time, he crossed a few courtyards in light leaps and landed outside Wang Mu’Er’s quarters. Before acting, he’d already scoped out the estate’s layout in advance.

"Little beauty, here I come!"

With a somersault, he landed silently in Wang Mu’Er’s courtyard.

He’d just crept a few steps when his feet suddenly stopped dead.

Because—!

Hua Wenxuan turned his head and saw three Embroidered Uniform Guards, sitting right in the courtyard, watching him with interest.

Especially the one sitting in the main seat—the way this guy looked at him sent chills down Hua Wenxuan’s spine.

"Target: Hua Wenxuan!

Level: Second-class Martial Artist!

Talent Entries: Treading Snow Without A Trace (Purple), Lustful To The Core (Blue), Rugged As A Dragon And Tiger (Blue), Scent-Identifying Beauties (Blue),"

"Treading Snow Without A Trace (Purple): Naturally light body, extraordinary innate talent in qinggong."

"Lustful To The Core (Blue): Easily puts lust above all else."

"Rugged As A Dragon And Tiger (Blue): Overflowing yang energy, able to last all night with ten women."

Well damn, I thought he was just your run-of-the-mill flower thief.

Didn’t expect his talents would be three blues and a purple.

But except for the Treading Snow thing about Qinggong, the other three are all about women, huh.

No wonder you became a flower thief.

The air fell utterly silent.

A drop of cold sweat slowly trickled down Hua Wenxuan’s forehead. What the hell? Why is this playing out so differently from what I imagined.

Weren’t the Embroidered Uniform Guards all supposed to be over guarding the concubine? Why are they here?

"You don’t seriously think you’re the only smart one in the world, and everyone else is an idiot, do you?"

Looking at Hua Wenxuan like this, Ye Liuyun suddenly laughed.

"Ac-...actually, I was just passing by!"

Hua Wenxuan forced an awkward smile on his face.

"See ya!"

Not an ounce of hesitation—he spun around, ready to display his qinggong and run for it.

But Si Nan and Shi Sheng had long been on high alert. The instant Hua Wenxuan turned, Si Nan unleashed a flurry of concealed weapons.

While Hua Wenxuan flicked his sleeve to fend them off, Shi Sheng’s figure slammed right for him.

Both fists punched through his sleeve and crashed into Hua Wenxuan’s body.

"Bang!"

His already-skinny figure was hurled straight into the wall.

The uproar instantly broke the quiet of the manor, flames and lanterns lighting up everywhere.

"A-...A First-class Martial Artist!"

Hua Wenxuan stared at Shi Sheng in disbelief. Never expected there’d actually be a First-class Martial Artist among Embroidered Uniform Guards this time.

He wasn’t much of a fighter, but being a Second-class Martial Artist, to be one-shotted like this—only a First-class Martial Artist could pull that off.

"Since you know how powerful grandpa is, you’d better kneel down! Grandpa here hates scums like you the most. Can’t control your damn bird, huh? After I send you to the Imperial Prison, I’ll be sure to have it plucked first!"

"We’ll see if you can catch me before you talk big!"

Hua Wenxuan wasn’t one to surrender quietly.

He tossed his robe to block Shi Sheng’s line of sight, then leapt to the rooftop in a nimble bound.

So what if you’re a First-class Martial Artist? With my Qinggong, even Postnatal Martial Artists can’t catch me if I really run!

"You’ve come all this way; if you dash off now, that’s not very polite, is it?"

Just as Shi Sheng and Si Nan were about to give chase, Ye Liuyun raised a hand to stop them, while his other hand drew the saber from his waist.

Seething inner strength surged as Ye Liuyun moved, forming a saber aura as fiery as flames, slashing straight toward Hua Wenxuan.
