"Go on and do your work!"

Ye Liuyun didn't say much. He had only spoken that sentence because he was moved by the moment.

He waved his hand, signaling that Si Nan and Shi Sheng could leave.

Walking beside him, Shi Sheng thought for a moment, then couldn't help but lean over and ask Si Nan in a low voice.

"What did you understand just now?"

"You'll know when you reach my age."

"..."

Damn it, I think I'm older than you, aren't I? Am I getting younger?

"Do you still want the three hundred taels?"

"!"

Those who owe money are the bosses, right?

Half an hour later, the Golden Saber Sect's wealth was carried out box by box.

Looking at the quantity, it really was quite a lot.

According to the Brocade Guard's rules, all of this should be confiscated, but few people actually followed the rules, and Ye Liuyun was no exception.

"Leave one box for the brothers to share. As for the rest, you each take a box, and find someone to send the remainder to my residence."

He pointed at Si Nan and Shi Sheng and said.

This was how Ye Liuyun did things.

He would eat the meat, but he would also give some soup to his subordinates, unlike some people who wouldn't even leave the pot, let alone the soup.

"Yes, sir!"

Hearing Ye Liuyun say this, everyone's faces lit up with joy.

With so much money, even if it was just a share, what they received would be worth more than half a year's salary.

"This..."

Only Shi Sheng hesitated a little.

After all, whenever Shi Sheng had encountered such situations before, the money he obtained was always directly confiscated.

Without Ye Liuyun needing to say more, Si Nan on the side immediately spoke up.

"You don't really think that the money you handed over before was actually confiscated, do you?"

"What?"

His tiger-like eyes widened. Shi Sheng had truly never paid attention to such matters before.

"If you handed over ten thousand taels, the amount that was actually confiscated in the end probably wouldn't even be ten taels. It would have been divided up by the people above long ago."

Si Nan was already well-versed in such matters.

Seeing Shi Sheng's look of disbelief, wanting to go reason with those people, Si Nan said directly,

"Alright, going is useless. Just take it honestly. If you don't take it, someone else will anyway. It's only because it's our lord; if it were another Centurion, you probably wouldn't even get ten taels!"

Before Ye Liuyun.

Si Nan had followed other Brocade Guards before and was already familiar with the stinginess of that group of people.

"..."

Seeing Shi Sheng remain silent.

Ye Liuyun said calmly,

"Since you want to change, then work hard to become stronger. When you are so strong that no one in the entire Brocade Guard can resist you, then naturally you will have the final say. But before that, use this money to improve your strength properly."

Practicing martial arts costs money.

It was true that Shi Sheng had good talent, but to break through the Acquired Realm again, it would definitely be impossible without buying some precious medicinal materials.

"Understood, thank you, my lord!"

Shi Sheng was not pedantic. After hearing Ye Liuyun say this, he understood.

That's right, if he didn't take this money, someone else would. It was better to let himself buy things to improve his cultivation and strength.

Just as Ye Liuyun said, when he was strong enough to make the entire Brocade Guard listen to him, he naturally wouldn't have to worry about corruption.

Seeing Shi Sheng accept it.

Si Nan chuckled and took about three hundred taels worth of items from Shi Sheng's box.

"Hehe, we're even!"

"..."

Although Shi Sheng didn't stop him, he still gave Si Nan an annoyed look.

So stingy.

After the matter of the Golden Saber Sect was concluded, Ye Liuyun directly told everyone to go home and not return to the Brocade Guard.

They had just received money.

Some who had good relationships were already preparing to go out and spend it together.

Others were preparing to save money to marry a wife, or like Shi Sheng, use the money to buy things for martial arts practice.

"Master!"

Inside the mansion.

Seeing Ye Liuyun return, Xing'er was the first to greet him.

After taking Ye Liuyun's outer robe, Xing'er's expression changed.

"Master is injured?"

Seeing some bloodstains on his outer robe, Xing'er's heart tightened.

"I went out to investigate a case today. This isn't my blood, it's the other party's."

As he spoke, he stretched his legs and feet to show that he was fine.

"It's good that Master is alright."

Seeing that Ye Liuyun indeed didn't look injured, Xing'er finally felt relieved.

"Since that's the case, I'll go have someone heat water so Master can wash off the blood."

"Alright!"

Ye Liuyun thought for a moment and didn't refuse.

However, looking at the well-behaved Xing'er beside him, Ye Liuyun was still a little curious.

"Has Madam not had much for you to do lately? Why do I feel like you're spending more and more time by my side?"

As Sheng Lanzhi's personal maid.

Xing'er should be spending most of her time serving Sheng Lanzhi, right? Why has she been serving him so much lately?

"Madam doesn't have much going on, and there are other maids, so there's no need to worry. Does Master think I'm not doing a good job and is tired of this servant?"

She thought he was displeased with her.

As she spoke, Xing'er looked at Ye Liuyun with a hint of tears welling up.

"I didn't mean that."

He waved his hand helplessly.

"I'm just worried that if you stay by my side for too long, Madam will make trouble for you."

This was the truth.

Moreover, this girl Xing'er was meticulous and thoughtful in her work. Ye Liuyun liked her too much to be displeased with her.

Seeing that Ye Liuyun wasn't tired of her, Xing'er finally felt at ease.

"Master, please rest assured, this is also Madam's arrangement, asking me to serve by Master's side."

"That's good!"

Seeing that it was Sheng Lanzhi's arrangement, Ye Liuyun naturally had no objections.

He nodded and led the way back to the side courtyard.

After bathing, Ye Liuyun didn't rush to practice martial arts or rest.

Instead, he was flipping through the books in his study.

Xing'er had originally wanted to ask how to arrange the money the Brocade Guard had sent back that afternoon, but Ye Liuyun didn't pay much attention, just saying that Xing'er could arrange it herself.

Anyway, all his food and expenses in the manor were arranged by Xing'er; if he ran out of money, he could just ask for it directly.

He waved his hand, signaling Xing'er to leave.

This time, when searching the Golden Saber Sect, besides the money, Si Nan also found two martial arts manuals. He specifically and quietly brought them to Ye Liuyun.

Things like martial arts manuals were more important than money.

Some martial arts manuals were priceless; even if you had money, others might not necessarily sell them to you.

'Golden Gate Thirteen Sabers!'

Just by looking at the name, he knew this should be the Golden Saber Sect's own saber technique.

Ye Liuyun quickly flipped through it and soon understood its profound mysteries.

This saber technique was on the same level as the Pine Wood Saber Technique Ye Liuyun was currently learning.

It was just that the Pine Wood Saber Technique focused on steady progress, while the Golden Gate Thirteen Sabers had a stronger killing intent.

Learning more saber techniques of the same level would only increase Ye Liuyun's combat methods, not significantly improve his strength. Therefore, Ye Liuyun only browsed through it once and set it aside.

Even if he didn't learn it, it was still good to keep for collection.

"This Purple Quality Blade and Man as One talent is truly beyond my imagination!"

If it were before, he would probably have to practice it several times to grasp the mysteries within the saber technique.

But now?

He could basically understand it after reading it once.
