Embroidered Uniform Guard: I Can Plunder Talents-Chapter 219 - 48: If Cultivation Isn’t for Enjoyment, It’s Meaningless
"Hmph!"
Though I have no idea what Guan Bao is thinking.
But judging from his troubled look, he clearly doesn’t have the confidence to break through to the Innate Realm within a year.
The old man of nine thousand years didn’t bother to say more, just snorted coldly.
Anyway—
If Guan Bao doesn’t break through in a year, Nine Thousand Years’ punishment is definitely unavoidable.
Of course, he wouldn’t just kill Guan Bao outright.
It’s not like Nine Thousand Years has many usable talents around him anyway.
...
There was quite a commotion in the Imperial City.
But none of that affected Ye Liuyun at the moment.
After leaving the Embroidered Uniform Guard, Ye Liuyun went straight to the Imperial Music Bureau with Si Nan and the others.
When it’s time to focus on cultivation, you’ve gotta work hard.
But when it’s time to kick back and relax, don’t overthink it, just enjoy life.
"It’s gotta be the Imperial Music Bureau!"
It was still the same private room as before; as soon as they sat down, Si Nan couldn’t help but sigh.
The other brothels aren’t bad, to be fair.
But for some reason, Si Nan just feels best at the Imperial Music Bureau—probably just been here too many times.
Coming here, Si Nan feels like coming home.
Ye Liuyun didn’t care much for all that.
They’d said before about redeeming Ye Qinzhen, and thought the whole Prince Jin City business had gotten delayed.
The idea was to take Ye Qinzhen away tonight.
But—
"She’s already been redeemed?"
Ye Liuyun was stunned when he got the news.
But what surprised Ye Liuyun even more was—
"The person who redeemed her is a woman?"
From the person in charge of the Imperial Music Bureau, he learned that the one who’d paid Ye Qinzhen’s redemption was actually a woman.
Her name wasn’t clear, but they only knew she was stunning—more beautiful than even their Courtesan.
"..."
Well, damn!
Honestly, Ye Liuyun hadn’t expected that at all.
But why would a woman redeem Ye Qinzhen? It couldn’t be just for her looks. Somehow, Ye Liuyun instinctively thought of how Ye Qinzhen was now a Mage.
Maybe someone saw through it.
Just as Ye Liuyun was thinking this—
The person next to him seemed to remember something, and suddenly asked Ye Liuyun:
"You must be Young Master Ye, Ye Liuyun?"
Clearly, this person hadn’t met Ye Liuyun before.
"Hm?"
Name called, Ye Liuyun instinctively turned to look.
He saw the other take out an envelope.
"Qinzhen specifically told me, if anyone named Ye Liuyun comes by, to give him this letter."
Looks like this envelope was left by Ye Qinzhen for him.
Ye Liuyun thought about it, then raised his hand and took it, waving off the messenger to leave.
Having Ye Qinzhen redeemed by a woman was wild enough.
But what followed was even crazier.
The one who redeemed Ye Qinzhen was Shu Fan, the witch from Illusion Sound Sect.
According to Ye Qinzhen, the woman happened to spot traces of sorcery on her, guessed she had Mage talent, and wanted to recruit her.
Ye Liuyun wasn’t surprised by that.
Because of the customs in the Great Qian Dynasty, everyone’s all about martial arts, so there are very few Mages.
It’s pretty rare to come across one—especially a woman like herself—so of course Shu Fan wanted to bring her into the Illusion Sound Sect.
At first, Ye Qinzhen had wanted to refuse.
After all, Ye Qinzhen didn’t know anything about Illusion Sound Sect. For all she knew, this could be a scam.
But after seeing a few of Shu Fan’s sorcery tricks—
Plus, Shu Fan told Ye Qinzhen:
"Are you really planning to stay in this brothel your whole life? Join Illusion Sound Sect! Don’t you have any dreams, anything you want to do? If you join, you’ll have a chance to chase all that."
In the end, Ye Qinzhen was convinced.
She had no idea Ye Liuyun already planned to redeem her.
All she could think was, if she became a badass Mage, she could stand proudly before Ye Liuyun, maybe even help him out someday.
"Silly girl!"
Reading the letter—
She said, when she’s mastered everything, she’ll come back right away.
Ye Liuyun couldn’t help but smile. By then, maybe he wouldn’t need anyone’s help anymore.
But still, Ye Qinzhen’s sincerity made Ye Liuyun pretty happy.
"No matter how you look at it, it’s not bad!"
Even if he kept Ye Qinzhen by his side, there were some things he wouldn’t be able to teach her.
Just because you’re good at cultivation doesn’t mean you’re fit to be a teacher.
The Illusion Sound Sect is one of the rare Mage sects in the Great Qian Dynasty—plus, with Shu Fan around, Ye Qinzhen at least had someone to look out for her, so there was nothing to worry about.
Honestly, the world seems huge, but sometimes it’s ridiculously small—you run into people like this.
He chuckled again, then put the envelope back away.
"Milord?"
Over to the side, Si Nan and the others saw Ye Liuyun finish reading, with not a hint of sadness on his face, and finally relaxed.
They’d all been worried—
That Ye Liuyun might be upset because Ye Qinzhen got redeemed by someone else.
"Like I’d get mad over something so small!"
Meeting their eyes, Ye Liuyun simply waved it off.
"If you want, just pick out your own girls!"
What Ye Liuyun loves is the vibe here at the Imperial Music Bureau.
