Embroidered Uniform Guard: I Can Plunder Talents

Chapter 524 - 145: The Grandmaster’s Prestige Shakes the Court! The Ones Who Cling Arrive_2

The scene where one flips a hand to create clouds and then rain.

While Fu Zhengqing was fearful, he also felt a bit of longing; after all, it was the legendary realm of the Land Immortal. If possible, Fu Zhengqing naturally wanted to take a look at the legend.

But unfortunately.

He couldn’t even break through to the mid-stage of Grandmaster right now, not to mention the legendary realm.

"Didn’t you feel that the sky during the autumn hunt was noticeably more dreary?"

"Dreary?"

At the time, Fu Zhengqing’s focus was entirely on Yan Fuhai, who was a Land Immortal.

Where else would he have the attention to care about other things?

However.

Now that Ye Liuyun mentioned it, Fu Zhengqing started to recall.

The weather at the time was indeed not great.

But does that matter?

Not just Fu Zhengqing, many people present probably thought that the change in weather was due to Yan Fuhai’s power.

It’s said that once cultivation reaches the Land Immortal level, one can already mobilize a certain amount of Power of Heaven and Earth, so affecting the weather in an area shouldn’t be a problem.

Seeing Fu Zhengqing’s expression, Ye Liuyun could almost guess what he was thinking.

After a slight shake of his head, he spoke with a serious expression.

"But, in my eyes, the power of fortune around Yan Fuhai was extremely weak at the time. With such a degree of fortune power, if Yan Fuhai continued to act, it might provoke a backlash from Heaven and Earth!"

"Backlash!"

Upon hearing this, Fu Zhengqing finally realized something.

His eyes narrowed slightly.

If Ye Liuyun’s words were true, it would explain why, after breaking through, Yan Fuhai seemed to have suddenly calmed down a lot.

This isn’t about being calm but having a reason to be calm.

So, is the side effect of Yan Fuhai breaking through to Land Immortal even more severe than I imagined?

"..."

Realizing this.

Fu Zhengqing fell silent, but his eyes were constantly moving, seemingly thinking about something.

After all.

All current information comes from Ye Liuyun.

How can I be sure that Ye Liuyun isn’t deceiving me?

Even though we agreed to cooperate, you can never truly know someone’s heart, right?

"If you’re uncertain, why not probe a little?"

Seeing Fu Zhengqing like this, Ye Liuyun knew that he must be suspicious.

Ye Liuyun never expected that a few words from him would make Fu Zhengqing fully trust him, so it’s not surprising to just suggest probing.

"..."

This time.

Fu Zhengqing didn’t deny it.

Even controlling a rebellion is something Fu Zhengqing can do; just probing shouldn’t be a problem.

"I hope everything is as you said!"

Fu Zhengqing naturally hoped Ye Liuyun wasn’t deceiving him. If Yan Fuhai’s cultivation is really problematic, he could completely exploit this.

But if Ye Liuyun was deceiving him.

Thinking about this.

Fu Zhengqing’s eyes clearly flashed a hint of ruthlessness. If it came to that moment, he wouldn’t let Ye Liuyun off easily.

Even if he had to drag him down together.

After speaking for a while, Yan Fuhai turned and left.

Watching his hurried footsteps, it was clear he couldn’t wait to find a way to probe Yan Fuhai’s cultivation.

After all.

Only after getting an accurate answer would Fu Zhengqing be able to settle down completely.

After Fu Zhengqing left, Ye Liuyun put away his expression.

"Sometimes it’s better to be a bit foolish; being foolish makes one less likely to be schemed against!"

The smarter a person is, the more likely they are to be schemed against.

There’s nothing to be done—smart people like to overthink and imagine.

Since Fu Zhengqing came in, all those long speeches were to lower my guard and then scheme against me, right?

But actually.

While you scheme against me, don’t I also want to scheme against you?

We both scheme; let’s see who has the skills in the end.

...

Early the next morning.

When Ye Liuyun left the tavern, he received the news that Fu Zhengqing had already left.

"Who knows what’s going on with Fu Zhengqing? I heard he rushed off last night, as if there was something urgent!"

Si Nan and the others who heard the news were full of doubt.

Obviously, they didn’t know what happened to make Fu Zhengqing so eager to return.

Ye Liuyun could guess though.

Fu Zhengqing was in a rush, probably because he already figured out some way to probe Yan Fuhai!

Looking forward to it a bit!

But on the surface, Ye Liuyun didn’t say much and directly asked.

"How are things in Lishui City?"

"Sir, everything has been resolved!"

Upon hearing Ye Liuyun inquire about business, Si Nan and the others immediately turned serious.

There’s time for jokes, but when it’s serious, everyone gets serious.

"Last night, we interrogated overnight and gathered quite a bit of information. Those clerks are truly greedy; they even dared to secretly adjust the tax set by the court. This is truly fearless!"

Daring to touch such matters.

Truly valuing money over life!

"For some people, perhaps money is indeed more important than life!"

Regarding such matters, Ye Liuyun wasn’t too surprised.
