Unlike now, she’s been spending more and more time at his side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Replying to Madam.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xing’Er responded softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master has been focused on martial arts lately, so there’s a lot more to handle. That’s why I’ve taken on more duties. If Madam wishes, I can arrange for someone else to wait upon Master.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she spoke, Xing’Er’s expression stayed calm, revealing nothing out of the ordinary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sheng Lanzhi didn’t reply but simply stared at Xing’Er for a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Xing’Er was a maid raised at Sheng Lanzhi’s side since childhood, so Sheng Lanzhi still trusted her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long moment, she finally shook her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m more at ease when you handle things.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, mainly Sheng Lanzhi didn’t have much to do now. She rarely left the house and spent her days reading in the study. Having a maid to serve tea was enough for her daily needs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking that Ye Liuyun could focus and seriously train in martial arts, Sheng Lanzhi felt rather satisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Besides, as my personal maid, you married over with me. In name, you belong to me, but you’re also considered his concubine. It’s nothing out of the ordinary to serve by his side.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other maids and servants of Ye Liuyun’s residence were all purchased by Sheng Lanzhi after she married in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xing’Er was the only one brought from her original home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though referred to as a personal maid, in this era, Xing’Er was in fact a bedchamber maid, no different from a concubine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s just that the former Ye Liufeng hadn’t touched Sheng Lanzhi, and hadn’t touched Xing’Er either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still the same pride and self-importance, always feeling he’d make a name for himself and make everyone in the residence acknowledge him and bow their heads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ve always belonged to Madam, and always will.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing herself called Ye Liuyun’s concubine, Xing’Er felt a pang in her heart, but outwardly she still responded diligently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Enough, get up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sheng Lanzhi didn’t mind, merely waved her hand, indicating Xing’Er could rise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The following days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Liuyun’s routine remained unchanged: Embroidered Uniform Guard, home, back and forth—nothing really changed after he was promoted to a hundred-household, except for more sycophants around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for cultivation progress—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After reaching the Postnatal Martial Artist stage, his training speed slowed down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unless some great opportunity appeared, stepping into the Innate realm would take time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Ye Liuyun wasn’t in a rush.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When it comes to training, haste makes waste; the more anxious you are, the easier it is for mishaps to occur.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This day—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Liuyun was browsing through case files.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sir! Sir!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Si Nan’s hurried voice came from outside—it sounded like something had happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Liuyun casually set aside the unfinished dossier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were many cases to be learned from in these files—reading them broadened his knowledge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next moment, Si Nan came rushing in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sir, something happened with Shi Sheng!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was not surprised at all. In fact, Ye Liuyun would have found it strange if so many days had passed without any trouble at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where is he?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Over on East Street. It’s serious this time—the person caught has a palace token.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A palace token meant someone from the royal palace. Their status could be minor or momentous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Liuyun thought for a moment, then stood up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s go. We’ll have a look!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, sir!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Si Nan quickly followed at Ye Liuyun’s side to lead the way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He explained the situation to Ye Liuyun along the way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In short, Shi Sheng encountered a young lord in fancy dress on patrol. The man ate without paying, and Shi Sheng wanted to arrest him. Unexpectedly, the man flashed a palace token.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Shi Sheng was stubborn—no matter who you were, if you ate, you paid, or you’d be dragged to the Embroidered Uniform Guard cell for a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So now it’s a total standoff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t care what token you have—if you’ve eaten, you need to pay!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On East Street, Shi Sheng stood with his neck stiff, clearly unfazed by the token.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young lord he blocked was clearly troubled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the palace, everything was handed to him—he’d never even thought about money. This was his first time outside and he’d forgotten to bring any.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How about this: I’ll bring the money tomorrow—will that do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his status, he wasn’t lacking a few taels of silver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least this one talked sense, not like those other arrogant noble brats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After so many years as an Embroidered Uniform Guard, Shi Sheng had seen all sorts of troublemakers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d seen this before: they say they’ll pay later, and once they’re gone, you never see them again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine. After you get released from the Embroidered Uniform Guard tomorrow, you can go back and get your money.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Shi Sheng moved to arrest him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come with me to the Embroidered Uniform Guard for questioning.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This scene caused the female bodyguard nearby to look coldly at Shi Sheng and strike with her palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How dare you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bang!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could react, Shi Sheng’s vision blurred and, in the next instant, he was sent flying through the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young lord frowned at this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You Majes—Young Master, rest assured! I didn’t go for the kill!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guard immediately explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Liuyun, just arriving, saw Shi Sheng being sent flying out of the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Sheng had only recently broken into the First-class level. Someone able to send him flying like that must at least be Postnatal level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Liuyun drew a circle with one hand and circulated his Inner Strength to neutralize the force on Shi Sheng, letting him land safely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The female bodyguard, originally explaining to her master, now shot Ye Liuyun a look as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Postnatal Martial Artist?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She’d obviously noticed Ye Liuyun’s strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Catching the falling Shi Sheng with one hand, Ye Liuyun also took a look at the bodyguard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was quite pretty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Target: Lv Lan!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cultivation: Mid-stage Innate!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Talent Entries: Extreme Yin Body (Purple), Swordsmanship Talent (Purple), Sharp Ears and Keen Eyes (Blue),\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Extreme Yin Body (Purple): Born with a cold constitution, perception far surpasses the average person.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sharp Ears and Keen Eyes (Blue): Possesses much sharper observational and hearing abilities than ordinary people.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two purple, one blue?
