Absolutely no one else will find out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One hand resting on Si Nan’s shoulder, Ye Liuyun spoke in a low tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If anyone else finds out, you know what the consequences will be.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I wouldn’t dare, sir!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Si Nan knelt at once. He didn’t know why, but today Ye Liufeng seemed especially authoritative.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Get up!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just needed to scare him a little—after all, he did need someone useful in the Embroidered Uniform Guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cashing in on the moment, Ye Liuyun drew a hundred-tael silver note from a stack and handed it over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sir, this is...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Work for me, do your job well, and you’ll never run short of benefits.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hit them first, then sweeten them up—a big promise in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d experienced this enough from his boss in his old corporate life—he’d picked it up just by watching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old Ye Liufeng gave out perks too, but only a couple of taels here and there. Giving a whole hundred at once? That was a first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief daze, Si Nan quickly accepted it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t worry, sir, I’ll do my utmost, lay down my life for you if I must.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Words like these were just for show. Ye Liuyun didn’t take them seriously and waved his hand to dismiss him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, you can go now. Inform me if anything comes up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, sir!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After tucking away the silver note, Si Nan bowed and retreated, even closing the door thoughtfully behind Ye Liuyun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He patted the spot where he’d hidden the silver, still feeling it was unreal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It really does feel like the boss is different today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for now, he couldn’t figure out what was off. Still, a hundred taels was a hundred taels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>,,,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was just the first day. Ye Liuyun didn’t run around like an idiot, trying to sniff out the Embroidered Uniform Guard’s internal workings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, wouldn’t that be telling everyone: I’m a fake, I don’t know a thing about this place?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Might as well take the opportunity to check the files on the bookshelf. The Embroidered Uniform Guard had quite a bit of power—basically every case in the Imperial City was under their jurisdiction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first he didn’t notice anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after a while, Ye Liuyun suddenly realized the files were organized—but not by how serious the cases were.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Noble’s son smashes up a tavern?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"General’s heir eats and doesn’t pay?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ministry of Revenue Assistant Minister’s son gets into a fight in a brothel and breaks a scholar’s leg?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After paging through this stack, Ye Liuyun got it—they were sorted by who you could cross, and who you absolutely could not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No need to check the rest. He could guess that most of the people involved had some serious background.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Either noble scions or offspring of high officials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rest, piled to the sides, were the ordinary cases—but even then, there were the wealthy and the penniless ones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My dear elder brother really does have the art of officialdom down cold.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Putting down the file, Ye Liuyun couldn’t help but start laughing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Used to act all lofty in front of people, as if he was some moral paragon, but behind the scenes? Just another penny-pinching bureaucrat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, it did serve as a wake-up call.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a place this rotten, if you act too upright, you’re just asking to be singled out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The morning slipped by in a flash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Embroidered Uniform Guard clocked in early, but also got off work early. By noon, they could leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sir, are you going out on patrol?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Ye Liuyun came out, Si Nan hurried over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normally, in the afternoon you’d either patrol the streets or round up troublemakers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But right now Ye Liuyun had zero interest in either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Maybe later. I’m tired today, I’ll head home first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Si Nan’s expression froze, as if he hadn’t expected Ye Liuyun to just leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he didn’t overthink it, quietly following Ye Liuyun’s side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let me see you out, sir!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as they were about to leave, a group approached from the front. Leading them was a tall, broad-shouldered, honest-faced man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he saw Ye Liuyun, the man snorted heavily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, they had a grudge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Might as well have written \"loathing\" right on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, with his own people, he strode right past Ye Liuyun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Target: Shi Sheng!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Realm: Second-class Martial Artist!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Talent Entries: Thick-Skinned (Blue), Valor (Blue),\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thick-Skinned (Blue): Naturally resilient—has an exceptional advantage when cultivating body-protection techniques.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Valor (Blue): If forced into a fight to the death, can sacrifice reason to increase strength.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A double blue talent, huh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both talents were for fighting—no wonder he gave off such a tough vibe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that look in his eye... did he have a grudge with the previous Ye Liufeng?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t take it to heart, sir.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Ye Liuyun’s gaze following Shi Sheng’s retreating back, Si Nan spoke promptly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shi Sheng may be a Commander, but he’s way too inflexible—doesn’t know how to adapt. He’s got no one to rely on in the Embroidered Uniform Guard. If it weren’t for his Second-class Martial Artist ranking and accumulated merits, he wouldn’t even hold the Commander position!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Si Nan’s tone was full of scorn as he spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guys like Shi Sheng, who only know how to chase crooks, are destined to get nowhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You might scrape up enough achievements to make Commander, but going any further, like becoming a Centurion? Not a chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Really? Then why did he look at me like he wanted to kill me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uh!\" That made Si Nan laugh awkwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You might have forgotten, sir, but not long ago Commander Shi Sheng arrested some Ministry of Personnel men, and you’re the one who got them released.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder. That explained it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to the old Ye Liufeng’s style, once he knew the people in trouble had connections, he’d definitely make an appearance to curry favor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the old Ye Liufeng probably despised rule-sticklers like Shi Sheng, so of course there’d be bad blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking it all through, Ye Liuyun smiled, unconcerned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, that? I’d almost forgotten if you hadn’t mentioned it. Shi Sheng is really petty, still holding a grudge after all this time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uh—yeah, exactly!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Si Nan echoed the awkward smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though inside, he felt helpless. It hadn’t actually been that long, just a few days at most.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And who in the Embroidered Uniform Guard didn’t know Shi Sheng was famous for hating evil. Forgetting?
