"I don't believe the Brocade Guard can stay here forever."
Clutching the spot where he had just been hit, Shi Sheng's punch had still caused considerable injury to Hua Wenxuan, whose face was somewhat gloomy.
He had stolen scents and pilfered jade so many times, he never expected to be caught this time.
Fortunately, he possessed exceptional lightness skill.
Hua Wenxuan had already planned it out. After escaping this time, he would hide for a while, recover from his injuries, and then return.
He truly didn't believe that the Brocade Guard could possibly guard Wang Yuanwai's mansion forever.
Unwilling to give up, Hua Wenxuan was already thinking about how he would deal with that Wang Mu'er the next time he succeeded, to vent the hatred currently in his heart.
"Wait, why is it so hot?"
Just as he was thinking, Hua Wenxuan suddenly felt the surrounding temperature was strange. The weather had been cool before, so why had it suddenly become hot?
He just turned his head.
What came into view was a fierce saber energy carrying blazing flames.
"Innate Realm!"
The moment he saw this saber energy, Hua Wenxuan unconsciously blurted out these two words.
What virtue and ability did he possess to actually attract an Innate Realm martial artist to personally take action? He was dead!
In mid-air, everyone only felt a flash of flame. Hua Wenxuan, who was already about to leave Wang Yuanwai's mansion, was directly split in two in mid-air and fell to the ground.
Thud!
He died unexpectedly cleanly.
The servants and Brocade Guard who had rushed over inside the mansion couldn't help but gasp when they saw this scene.
"Your Excellency's strength is truly astonishing."
Si Nan reacted the fastest, immediately turned around, and said with admiration.
"Let's go, see if this Flower Plucking Thief has any other information on him."
Waving his hand, not caring about Si Nan's flattery, he led the way towards where the Flower Plucking Thief, Hua Wenxuan, had fallen.
In reality, Ye Liuyun was planning to collect the Talent Traits.
The trait "Lustful as Life" was not needed, but the others, including that "Dragon Vigor," which looked like a very useful talent, he wanted!
However.
When Ye Liuyun left the courtyard, Wang Mu'er in the room was looking at the backs of Ye Liuyun and the others through a crack in the window.
Wang Mu'er was a light sleeper and woke up as soon as she heard the commotion. She had also witnessed the scene just now with her own eyes.
Talent Trait System! Host: Ye Liuyun!
Realm: Innate Realm Initial Stage!
Martial Arts: Wind Severing Saber Technique, Azure Sun Force, Pine Wood Saber Technique, Jade Shattering Hand, Flame Blaze Saber Technique,
Talent Traits: Luck (Purple), Steel Bones (Purple), Blade and Man as One (Purple), Extraordinary Comprehension (Purple), Sword Talent (Green), Extreme Yang Body (Purple), Scent Recognition (Blue), Snow Treading Without a Trace (Purple),"
The Scent Recognition Talent Trait had turned blue quality.
What surprised Ye Liuyun was that the Dragon Vigor talent had a high compatibility with the Extreme Yang Body, and it directly became experience for the Extreme Yang Body.
If he could get a few more, it was estimated that the Extreme Yang Body would have hope of upgrading to a gold trait.
As for this Snow Treading Without a Trace.
Ye Liuyun tried it and indeed felt his body become much lighter. He thought that later, he would find a few movement techniques to practice so that this movement technique could be utilized to its fullest extent.
"Sir!"
Ye Liuyun's main goal was the Talent Traits. Things like looting the body would definitely be left to others.
Si Nan searched for a while and actually found a few silver notes.
"So rich."
The amount on these silver notes was not small. It seemed that this Hua Wenxuan was not just a Flower Plucking Thief, but also moonlighted as a thief.
Ye Liuyun only took out half.
"Take the rest and split it among yourselves!"
"Thank you, Sir!"
Si Nan chuckled happily and put away the remaining silver notes.
With their sir being so generous, they, as subordinates, were full of motivation when doing things.
The next day.
After being warmly hosted by Wang Yuanwai, Ye Liuyun and the others had a hearty breakfast before returning to the Imperial City.
Wang Yuanwai originally planned to invite Ye Liuyun and the others to stay for lunch, but Ye Liuyun clearly didn't intend to waste time here. Before leaving, Wang Yuanwai specifically had someone send some gifts.
After looking at them, Ye Liuyun found that they were all relatively precious medicinal herbs.
He had to say, this Wang Yuanwai was really good at dealing with people. The gifts he sent were all things that others needed.
Finally, he waved his hand, mounted his horse, and then led everyone away.
"A young talent!"
If it were an ordinary Brocade Guard Centurion, Wang Yuanwai would also send gifts, but he would never act as he was now, seemingly eager to curry favor.
But Ye Liuyun was different. He was young, strong, and his martial arts talent seemed to be quite high.
Such a person was very worth investing in.
"Father!"
At this moment, Wang Mu'er's figure suddenly walked over.
"So it's Mu'er. You were startled by what happened last night. Why aren't you resting properly in your room?"
Wang Yuanwai had many children, but he was especially fond of this gentle and intelligent youngest daughter.
Remembering what happened last night, Wang Yuanwai still felt a lingering fear.
If Ye Liuyun hadn't discovered the Flower Plucking Thief's scheme, his youngest daughter might have truly fallen victim to the thief's poisonous hands.
"Daughter is fine."
Wang Mu'er first shook her head, indicating she was alright.
Then, looking in the direction Ye Liuyun and the others had left, she suddenly said softly,
"Father mentioned before that in a while, you would try to expand your business into the Imperial City. Is that true?"
Wang Yuanwai had many businesses, but they were basically all outside the Imperial City.
If there was an opportunity, he would definitely want to expand his business into the Imperial City. Not only would he earn more, but it would also be a symbol of status.
"Didn't you used to dislike managing these things?"
"I want to try. It's also a good way to find something to do."
Wang Mu'er lowered her head and said softly.
Seeing his daughter like this, Wang Yuanwai seemed to have seen through something and couldn't help but laugh.
"Good, good. Since it's your idea, Mu'er, then go ahead and do it."
Wang Yuanwai was quite generous towards this youngest daughter. Without any hesitation, he directly agreed.
"Thank you, Father!"
After getting a definite answer, a hint of joy couldn't help but appear on Wang Mu'er's face.
After returning to the Imperial City.
Ye Liuyun didn't plan to go to the Brocade Guard. Instead, he let his subordinates go home and rest for a day.
They would report to the Brocade Guard tomorrow.
Having not rested much all night, everyone was very happy to hear that Ye Liuyun said they could rest for a day.
As for Ye Liuyun himself, he naturally went straight back to his residence.
"How about it, want to go for a drink?"
After Ye Liuyun left, Si Nan bumped Shi Sheng's shoulder and said with raised eyebrows.
Having just earned so much money, it felt uncomfortable not to spend some.
"You're treating?"
"You should just go home and sleep!"
