This is the life.

Looking at Xing'er, whose pretty face was slightly flushed but who was still diligently working, Ye Liuyun sighed inwardly.

Everyone despises capital, but everyone wants to become capital.

It wasn't until very late that Xing'er returned to Sheng Lanzhi's side.

"Have you been spending a bit too much time by his side lately?"

Seeing Xing'er return, Sheng Lanzhi, who was sitting in the courtyard admiring the moon, looked over with a hint of confusion.

Although Xing'er used to be responsible for matters around 'Ye Liufeng', she would usually return quickly. It wasn't like recently, where the time spent by his side was getting longer and longer.

"Replying to Madam."

Xing'er responded softly.

"Master has been focused on martial arts practice recently, and there are more things to handle, so this servant has taken on more responsibility. If Madam needs me, this servant can have others attend to Master."

As she said this, Xing'er's expression was normal, showing no signs of anything amiss.

Sheng Lanzhi didn't speak, but stared at Xing'er for a while.

After all, she was a personal maid who had been raised by her side since childhood, so Sheng Lanzhi still trusted her.

"No need."

After a long while, she shook her head.

"I feel more at ease with you handling things."

Of course, the main reason was that Sheng Lanzhi didn't have much to do now. She rarely went out, at most going to the study to read. Having a maid to serve tea was enough.

Thinking that Ye Liuyun could calm down and practice martial arts diligently, Sheng Lanzhi was quite satisfied.

"What's more, as my personal maid, you married over with me. Nominally you are my maid, but you are also considered his concubine. There's nothing wrong with staying by his side."

The other maids and servants in Ye Liuyun's mansion were all bought by Sheng Lanzhi after she married over.

Only Xing'er was brought from her original place.

Although she was called a personal maid, in this era, Xing'er was actually a tongfang maid, not much different from a concubine.

It was just that the former Ye Liufeng hadn't touched Sheng Lanzhi, and he hadn't even touched Xing'er.

As the saying goes, he was arrogant and always felt that he could make a name for himself, and then the people in the mansion would obediently acknowledge his identity and bow to him.

"This servant was Madam's maid before, and will always be."

Hearing that she was Ye Liuyun's concubine, Xing'er's heart stirred, but on the surface, she still spoke seriously.

"Alright, get up!"

Sheng Lanzhi didn't pay too much attention, just waved her hand, indicating that Xing'er could get up.

The following few days.

Ye Liuyun's life remained a two-point line between the Brocade Guard and his residence. After becoming a Centurion, aside from the increase in sycophants around him, nothing else really changed.

As for his cultivation.

After reaching the Acquired Realm martial artist stage, his cultivation speed slowed down.

Unless he encountered some other fortunate opportunity, it would definitely take some time to step into the Innate Realm.

However, Ye Liuyun wasn't in a hurry.

When it comes to cultivation, haste makes waste. The more anxious one is, the more likely accidents are to occur.

This day.

Ye Liuyun was flipping through some case files.

"Sir! Sir!"

Si Nan's somewhat hurried voice came from outside, suggesting something had happened.

Ye Liuyun casually set aside the case file he hadn't finished reading.

Many of the cases recorded in these files could broaden his horizons if he read more of them.

The next moment, Si Nan's hurried figure ran in.

"Sir, something happened with Shi Sheng!"

This wasn't surprising at all. In fact, Ye Liuyun would have found it strange if it had taken this many days for something to happen.

"Where is he?"

"He's over on East Street. This time it's a big deal. The person who was apprehended has a token from the palace."

A token from the palace would definitely belong to someone from the imperial palace. This identity could be significant or insignificant.

Ye Liuyun thought for a moment, then stood up.

"Let's go! Let's take a look!"

"Yes, sir!"

Si Nan quickly followed beside Ye Liuyun, leading the way.

He also took the opportunity to explain the specifics to Ye Liuyun.

In simple terms, while Shi Sheng was patrolling the streets, he encountered a person dressed like a young master who ate without paying. Shi Sheng immediately wanted to apprehend the person, but who knew the other party would reveal a token from the palace.

But Shi Sheng was stubborn. He didn't care who you were; if you ate something, you had to pay. Otherwise, he would take you back to the Brocade Guard for a detention.

As a result, they were still in a stalemate.

"I don't care about tokens or no tokens. If you ate something, you have to pay."

On East Street, Shi Sheng craned his neck, completely disregarding the token.

The young master who was stopped also had a troubled look on his face.

He had always been waited on hand and foot in the palace, never having to worry about money. As a result, the first time he left the palace, he forgot to bring any.

"How about this, tomorrow? I'll bring the money tomorrow."

With his status, he wouldn't be short a few taels of silver.

He was quite easy to talk to, at least not as arrogant and overbearing as other spoiled brats.

"Heh!"

Shi Sheng had been a Brocade Guard for so many years, what kind of monsters and demons hadn't he seen?

It wasn't the first time he had encountered such a situation, where they said they would pay later, but after they left, they were never seen again.

"Then wait until you're released from the Brocade Guard tomorrow before you go back and get the money."

Saying that, Shi Sheng was about to directly apprehend the person.

"Come with me back to the Brocade Guard."

This scene caused the expression of the woman dressed as a guard beside him to turn cold, and she directly struck out with a palm.

"Presumptuous!"

Bang!

Before he could even react, Shi Sheng only felt a blur before his eyes, and the next second his entire body was sent flying.

The young master couldn't help but frown when he saw this scene.

"Your Maj... Young Master, please rest assured, I did not intend to kill!"

The guard immediately added.

At the same time.

Ye Liuyun, who happened to be walking over, saw Shi Sheng flying out from the crowd.

"Hmm?"

Shi Sheng's strength had recently entered the first-class level. To be able to send Shi Sheng flying like this, his strength was at least in the Acquired Realm.

At the same time, he circled his single hand, circulating his internal energy to disperse the internal energy on Shi Sheng, allowing him to fall down.

The female guard who was explaining to her master couldn't help but look over when she saw this scene.

"An Acquired Realm martial artist?"

She had clearly seen Ye Liuyun's strength.

Catching the falling Shi Sheng with one hand, Ye Liuyun also saw the guard.

She was quite pretty.

"Target: Lü Lan!

Cultivation: Innate Realm Middle Stage!

Talent Traits: Extreme Yin Body (Purple), Sword Talent (Purple), Sharp Eyes and Ears (Blue)

"Extreme Yin Body (Purple): Naturally cold constitution, comprehension far surpasses ordinary people."

"Sharp Eyes and Ears (Blue): Possesses observation and hearing abilities far beyond ordinary people."

Two purple and one blue? This is the first time encountering someone like this.
