Gradually Growing Ambition

'It's not enough!'

Just the position of Centurion is far from enough.

When I was a Banner Officer before, I thought it was good to just quietly develop.

But now that my position is higher, my perspective is different.

I want the position of Chieftain, and I also want the position of Pacification Commissioner.

"Sir?"

While I was thinking, the subordinate had already walked over with a cup of tea.

"Mm!" I responded and took it.

Seeing that Xiao Yongning was still smiling obsequiously, Ye Liuyun waved his hand, signaling for the other party to leave.

"You go do your work first, I'll watch the interrogations for a bit and then go back!"

Before, entering the Bright Prison required paying money, but now that Ye Liuyun was a Centurion, Xiao Yongning couldn't wait to give Ye Liuyun money.

"Understood! Understood!"

Seeing Ye Liuyun say this, Xiao Yongning nodded repeatedly.

He had already concluded in his heart that Ye Liuyun had some kind of fetish for watching others suffer.

After leaving, he even specifically told his subordinates to be quick and pull out some prisoners who had already been tortured to beat them again. Anyway, they were going to die, so dying sooner or later was the same.

"Talent Trait System!

Host: Ye Liuyun!

Realm: Acquired Realm martial artist!

Martial Arts: Wind Severing Saber Technique, Azure Sun Force, Pine Wood Saber Technique, Jade Shattering Hand,

Talent Traits: Luck (Purple), Steel Bones (Purple), Blade Talent (Blue), Photographic Memory (Blue), Sword Talent (Green), Extreme Yang Body (Purple), Scent Recognition (Green),"

"Steel Bones (Purple): Steel bones throughout the body, immense strength."

Although they were all physical traits, there were no special types.

But accumulating them continuously successfully evolved the original blue quality 'Strong and Robust' trait into the purple quality 'Steel Bones' trait.

"The third purple trait is mine!"

After Ye Liuyun left the Bright Prison, his face was full of satisfaction, and he clenched his fists.

His strong wrists made the smile on Ye Liuyun's face gradually become unrestrained.

Of course, the price of upgrading the purple trait was that the prisoners in the Bright Prison were basically all dead. If I wanted to harvest again, I would probably have to wait for a while.

Let the Bright Prison replenish some prisoners.

But this did not affect Ye Liuyun's great mood. He even hummed a little tune as he left.

"Just as I thought!"

Watching Ye Liuyun's retreating figure, Xiao Yongning nodded in understanding.

He didn't know why Ye Liuyun liked watching others being tortured, but it didn't matter. Since he liked it, wouldn't it be better to cater to his preferences?

"From now on, whenever Centurion Ye comes, make sure you're quick with your actions when you're carrying out the punishments, understand?"

"Understood!"

Everyone nodded in understanding.

Meanwhile, after Ye Liuyun returned,

he saw Shi Sheng sitting on the stone steps, his face full of misery.

Upon seeing Ye Liuyun approach, his face darkened even further.

"Hmph!"

When his cultivation broke through, hehe.

Knowing he was about to become Ye Liuyun's subordinate, not hehe.

Originally, Shi Sheng was quite happy that his strength had broken through to the First-Rate Martial Artist realm today, but upon learning that he was being transferred under Ye Liuyun, Shi Sheng couldn't be happy at all.

"Sir!"

Si Nan, who was standing nearby, quickly approached with a beaming smile when he saw Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun first waved his hand, then looked at Shi Sheng.

"What, you're not happy knowing you're about to become my subordinate?"

"Hmph, as long as you're not worried about me causing you trouble in the future."

Shi Sheng couldn't change the transfer order within the Brocade Guard, but he wouldn't change his temper just because he became someone's subordinate. If he saw a dissolute young master committing a crime in the street, he would arrest them.

As for whether it would implicate Ye Liuyun at that time, Shi Sheng didn't care.

"Banner Officer Shi, don't be ungrateful. If it weren't for the Sir, no one would want you by now."

Within the Brocade Guard, it was difficult to get by without backing.

"Hmph!"

Glancing at Si Nan, Shi Sheng snorted coldly and turned his head away, completely ignoring him.

"You!"

Si Nan was also a bit displeased.

If his strength wasn't insufficient, he would have already made a move.

"I didn't intend to change your personality."

Ye Liuyun clasped his hands behind his back and looked at Shi Sheng with a faint smile.

"You arrest whoever you want to arrest. If the Brocade Guard didn't have people like you, that's when I'd feel like the Brocade Guard was completely beyond saving."

If everyone were just scheming and conniving, it would be truly disgusting to watch. Having someone like Shi Sheng, on the other hand, makes things interesting.

Ye Liuyun did indeed plan to lie low and develop.

But for some things, if you don't fight for them, you won't even have a chance to develop.

"You?"

These words made Shi Sheng temper his anger considerably.

He frowned and looked at Ye Liuyun. Originally, Shi Sheng thought that one's nature was hard to change.

Perhaps this Ye Liuyun had changed, but his true nature must still be there. But now, it was as if he had become a different person.

"Alright! It's getting late, let's clock out and go home!"

"Go home?"

Not just Shi Sheng, but even Si Nan looked at Ye Liuyun with curiosity.

"Ahem, I mean, go back home!"

He was just used to saying certain things.

But Shi Sheng and Si Nan didn't pay too much attention. Si Nan immediately nodded in agreement.

As for Shi Sheng, he said directly,

"If you want to go back, then go back. I'm going on patrol!"

In this regard, Shi Sheng was as proactive as ever. He immediately got up, ready to leave.

"Sir, won't Shi Sheng provoke some powerful nobles again?"

Shi Sheng easily provoked the children of powerful nobles because he arrested people indiscriminately.

"So what? I am now a Brocade Guard Centurion. As long as I don't leave the Imperial City, what does it matter if they are children of powerful nobles?"

They couldn't possibly attack him directly within the Imperial City.

Moreover, if those people wanted to retaliate against him, the first person they would look for would be his cheap father-in-law.

"Understood!"

Since Ye Liuyun had said so, what else could Si Nan say?

After returning, Ye Liuyun cultivated as usual.

The Pine Wood Saber Technique was already perfected. Next was the cultivation of the Jade Shattering Hand and the Azure Sun Force.

With the Steel Bones Talent Trait, the cultivation of the Jade Shattering Hand went very smoothly. As for the Azure Sun Force, even with the Extreme Yang Body, this technique could only be cultivated slowly.

There was no way to rush it.

"Master, it's time for dinner!"

Ye Liuyun, who was currently soaking in a medicinal bath with his eyes closed, slowly opened them upon hearing Xing'er's voice beside him.

"How long have I been asleep?"

He had accidentally drifted off just now.

"Only half an hour. If you want to rest, Master, perhaps you should eat first before resting."

"Alright!"

Saying this, Ye Liuyun got out of the medicinal bath.

Seeing that Xing'er was still there, he suddenly paused, realizing he must have been half-asleep just now.

"Ahem, perhaps you should go out first?"

"It's fine, Master!"

Xing'er lowered her head, her face flushed.

"This servant will help Master dry off."
