Equally Disdainful of Everyone

Ye Liuyun, on the other hand, wasn't affected at all.

He ate when he should, drank when he should, and reported for duty when he should.

"Sigh!"

When will these days of having to go to work before dawn end?

Inside the room, Ye Liuyun allowed the maid Xing'er to help him change. Looking at the pitch-black sky outside, his face was filled with melancholy.

"Master doesn't need to worry."

Seeing Ye Liuyun sigh, Xing'er, who was hanging the saber on Ye Liuyun's waist, said with a smile as beautiful as a flower.

"When Master goes to report for duty today, there might be a surprise."

Thinking of the news she heard from Madam Sheng Lanzhi last night, the smile on Xing'er's face deepened significantly.

"Surprise? What surprise?"

Hearing this, Ye Liuyun was also taken aback and looked over in surprise.

"I won't say. Master will know when he gets to the Brocade Guard."

"Playing mysterious with me, are you?"

Flicking Xing'er's forehead with his finger, Ye Liuyun walked out with a smile, not pressing for an answer.

Anyway, he was about to go out soon, so he might as well see what kind of surprise it would be.

Xing'er wasn't annoyed and still followed behind Ye Liuyun with a smile.

It wasn't until after breakfast that Ye Liuyun left the mansion alone.

"Sir!"

Si Nan was a little flustered at first. After all, a higher rank crushes a lower one, and it was very easy for a Centurion to deliberately cause trouble for a Banner Officer.

But seeing Ye Liuyun walk over with his usual expression, looking completely unconcerned, the worry in Si Nan's heart faded considerably.

Could it be that he didn't sleep all night?

Seeing Si Nan looking a bit tired, Ye Liuyun subconsciously took a couple more glances.

This mindset still needs training.

"Alright, with me here, the sky won't fall."

If someone really came to cause trouble for him, the worst-case scenario was finding an opportunity to kill them, right?

It was impossible within the Imperial City, but he could find an opportunity outside the Imperial City. He didn't believe that Lu Quan could stay in the city forever.

"Hahaha!"

Just then, a familiar laugh came.

Turning his head, he saw Shi Sheng and his group walking over. Shi Sheng, who was leading them, must have encountered something good, as his smug laughter could be heard from afar.

"Centurion Shi seems to be in a good mood!"

Seeing the other party walk over, Ye Liuyun casually greeted him.

Indeed.

The moment he saw Ye Liuyun, Shi Sheng's expression changed, and he instantly put away his smile.

"Hmph!"

After a cold snort, he walked past Ye Liuyun.

Although the previous incident had changed Shi Sheng's view of Ye Liuyun, he still showed his displeasure when he should.

"Ha!"

Ye Liuyun smiled indifferently, not getting angry.

After all, if you interacted with him for a while, you would find that Shi Sheng had this attitude towards everyone.

"Yo, Centurion Shi is in a good mood today."

A passing Banner Officer also greeted Shi Sheng in the same way.

"Scram!"

No wonder Shi Sheng didn't have many friends in the Brocade Guard. It was mainly because Shi Sheng felt that these were all people who occupied positions without doing anything, and he equally looked down on everyone.

However, after watching Shi Sheng's back for a while, Ye Liuyun understood why the other party was so happy.

"Target: Shi Sheng!

Realm: First-Rate Martial Artist!

Talent Traits: Thick Skin and Flesh (Blue), Valiant and Martial (Blue),"

His cultivation had broken through. He was a Second-Rate Martial Artist before, and now a First-Rate Martial Artist. No wonder he was so happy.

Ye Liuyun didn't take Shi Sheng's matter too seriously.

He was originally planning to continue reading the scrolls for a while, and then go to the Bright Prison to see if he could get a few more Talent Traits.

Just then.

"Sir! Sir!"

Si Nan's flustered figure suddenly ran in.

"What, is the troublemaker here?"

Seeing Si Nan's hurried appearance, Ye Liuyun could roughly guess something.

"Almost, Centurion Lu Quan is here."

The incident just happened yesterday, and he came this morning. The efficiency was very high.

"Since it's a Centurion visiting, please invite him in." Ye Liuyun wasn't flustered; what was coming would eventually arrive.

It was a good opportunity for Ye Liuyun to see how Lu Quan would cause trouble for him.

Soon.

A man with a similar official uniform to Ye Liuyun and a sturdier build walked in.

The official uniforms of a Brocade Guard Banner Officer and a Centurion were almost identical; only the uniforms of those above a Thousand Household would change.

The person who arrived was indeed Lu Quan.

Ye Liuyun had used the system's ability to check; he was only a First-Rate Martial Artist, so there was no need to panic.

"Hmph!"

Before Ye Liuyun could say anything, the other party immediately launched an attack.

"So that's it. I was wondering how you had the guts to provoke me. Turns out you're living off your wife's wealth."

Lu Quan had originally intended to come and cause trouble.

But halfway there, he was approached by a Thousand Household who gave him some instructions. Lu Quan then knew he couldn't cause trouble for Ye Liuyun, but he was still angry and spoke with veiled threats.

If it were the previous Ye Liufeng, he might not have been able to stand such mockery.

After all, he was arrogant, yet he wanted to maintain dignity while living off his wife's wealth.

But Ye Liuyun wouldn't have such worries.

"Being able to live off my wife's wealth is also my own ability. Why haven't I seen Centurion Lu doing the same? Could it be that you know you're ugly and don't have the chance?"

"You!"

He had come to mock others, but now he was the one about to explode with anger.

Ye Liuyun directly interrupted him a step ahead, "Centurion Lu's visit this time shouldn't just be to say these few useless words, right?"

If he were here to cause trouble, he wouldn't just say a few words; he would probably have already made a move.

Indeed.

Hearing Ye Liuyun say this, although Lu Quan's face was ugly, he didn't continue speaking.

Instead, he threw something at Ye Liuyun. The angry Lu Quan's wave of his hand also contained internal energy.

Just to make Ye Liuyun look awkward for a moment.

However.

Bang!

Facing the rapidly flying black object, Ye Liuyun simply raised his hand and caught it steadily.

"Your strength!"

This scene left Lu Quan somewhat stunned.

How could 'Ye Liufeng', who was originally only at the Third-Rate Martial Artist realm, catch something thrown with his First-Rate Martial Artist strength?

"I've been cultivating recently and happened to have a breakthrough."

In response to Lu Quan's surprise, Ye Liuyun simply replied calmly.

He then looked at the object in his hand. He had thought it was a hidden weapon, but it turned out to be a token.

"A Centurion's waist token?"

Ye Liuyun was momentarily surprised. Si Nan, who had been standing obediently to the side, couldn't help but lean closer when he heard this.

A Centurion's waist token?

Is their lord going to be promoted to Centurion?

Hiss! No wonder!

No wonder their lord seemed so unconcerned yesterday. It turns out he knew he was going to be promoted to Centurion.

It's a good thing he stayed calm. As expected, he didn't misjudge the person back then.

Si Nan had already automatically imagined that Ye Liuyun acted so unconcerned last night because he was about to be promoted.
