This swordsmanship here is the best of the lot.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Swordsmanship?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Liuyun perked up a little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apparently, all the heroes in Jianghu love using swords. Seems like it’s more stylish that way. But up to now, Ye Liuyun hasn’t really studied swordsmanship much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’s got Swordsmanship Talent too, just not the best quality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Four Directions Swordsmanship!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the four bold characters on the booklet, Ye Liuyun opened it up to have a look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His Swordsmanship Talent might not be high, but thanks to his Extraordinary Comprehension, Ye Liuyun could see this swordsmanship was high-quality—definitely a top-grade technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Funny thing, really. Someone else had their eye on this technique first, but apparently his money got stolen, so I picked it up cheap.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she said this,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Sheng Lanzhi felt it was a little unbelievable. Stuff like this doesn’t happen every day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coincidence?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Liuyun closed the cultivation book and simply smiled without commenting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The effects of Luck Boost are even crazier than I expected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well done.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Liuyun didn’t say much more, just praised Sheng Lanzhi, then sent Xing’Er off to boil water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Training isn’t urgent. There’s a drinking party tonight—no reason not to wait till I’m back to start practicing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soaking in the wooden tub,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Liuyun relaxed and closed his eyes while a pair of small hands gently kneaded his shoulders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The strength today...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xing’Er had massaged him so many times before, Ye Liuyun knew exactly what sort of pressure he liked. But something was off today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had just opened his eyes, and saw behind him—Sheng Lanzhi, draped in light gauze, smiling softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’ve been away so many days, Master, you must be tired. Let me do the massage for you this time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sheng Lanzhi spoke naturally, her gaze intimate and gentle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at this Sheng Lanzhi,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Liuyun only chuckled, not refusing her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then I’ll trouble my Lady.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having real power sure is nice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nightfall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Southern Governor Qi Yuanliang’s welcoming banquet for Lei Zheng was being held at the Golden Tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Liuyun had heard plenty about the Golden Tower, but to be honest, it was his first visit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Famous tavern in the Imperial City, the Golden Tower’s décor was seriously lavish—hard to tell if it was just gold paint in some places, or actually real gold. Everything glittered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Liuyun figured he’d just come for a free meal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But unexpectedly, this Southern Governor took the initiative to greet him as soon as he saw him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This must be Hundred Commander Ye Liuyun, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Yuanliang’s warm smile hovered in Ye Liuyun’s direction, surprising him a bit, but he returned the smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m Ye Liuyun. Greetings, Governor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This isn’t the Embroidered Uniform Guard; no need to be so formal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Yuanliang chuckled, waving his hand for Ye Liuyun to relax.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the way Qi Yuanliang looked at Ye Liuyun—it was like sizing up a bright young talent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ve heard a bit about your deeds, Commander Ye. For the sake of avenging your brother, you endured years of hardship. I truly respect your spirit. Look, if you run into any trouble in the Embroidered Uniform Guard, just come find me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I might not be the strongest, but if it’s something I, Qi Yuanliang, can help with, I absolutely will!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder people say the Southern Governor is the most well-liked person in the Embroidered Uniform Guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that attitude—if Ye Liuyun couldn’t see Qi Yuanliang’s status tag, he’d probably believe it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You shouldn’t be called Smiling Tiger—you’re an Oscar-level \"Shadow\".\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you for your support, Governor. If something does come up, I definitely won’t stand on ceremony.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Liuyun was never the polite type.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter if you’re only being courteous or really mean it, I’ll make use of this connection for sure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Yuanliang hadn’t expected Ye Liuyun to be so direct.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he didn’t dwell on it, just smiled, and when more guests arrived, moved on to greet them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Liuyun had thought,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was this banquet for Lei Zheng just so Qi Yuanliang could fish for info on the recent trip?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turns out,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of the talk at the table was just small talk and chit-chat. Qi Yuanliang never mentioned anything about whether Lei Zheng had found a Spiritual Artifact on his trip. The atmosphere was rowdy and lively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Liuyun couldn’t help stealing a couple more glances at Qi Yuanliang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the banquet, Ye Liuyun left with Si Nan and Shi Sheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Maybe one day, when you become Governor, we can be this impressive too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the way home,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Si Nan couldn’t help sighing—the higher you climb, the clearer you see the importance of power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Think about all those people at the banquet sucking up to the Governor. Si Nan was genuinely sighing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you’ve got time, spend it training instead. If Master makes it to the top and you end up weaker than his men, that’d be embarrassing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all this time,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Sheng and Si Nan now got along pretty well. But when it came to Si Nan’s skills, Shi Sheng really wished he’d just buckle down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t make me yell at you on the happiest day.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing Shi Sheng’s buzzkill remark,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Si Nan shot him a glare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tsk!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Sheng rolled his eyes, completely unfazed. Yell at me? Hit me if you’ve got the guts. But you’d need some real skills for that first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Late at night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back home, Ye Liuyun didn’t rush off to bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t drunk much, so while his hands were warm, Ye Liuyun picked up a treasured sword from the weapon rack in the courtyard and started practicing the Four Directions Swordsmanship he’d memorized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blade danced in a circle four feet wide, trapping opponents in all four directions, moves quick and nimble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After cycling through a few sets, Ye Liuyun grasped the essence of Four Directions Swordsmanship. It excelled at fighting groups—its true strength shows when fighting against many at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Liuyun’s Swordsmanship Talent was only blue grade,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But with purple-grade Extraordinary Comprehension, plus all his stacking bonuses,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It took only half an hour to reach the basic proficiency with this swordsmanship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to master it—or even truly perfect it—would take some more time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not bad!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Ye Liuyun stopped and began channeling his energy to regulate his breath,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A familiar voice drifted in from beyond the courtyard wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking up, it was Lv Lan again, light gauze fluttering, her figure graceful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lv Lan had actually arrived earlier, but when she saw Ye Liuyun practicing, she’d held back and just watched for a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A true swordswoman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lv Lan could tell exactly how Ye Liuyun had, in such a short time, taken a high-quality sword technique and gone from complete novice to basic mastery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such talent—only fitting for someone with the Pure Yang Body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>",1204,"2026-05-30T16:57:06.164Z","2026-06-01T04:31:44.368Z",1,"novelbin.me","493526ef1684ca8a906f79b91a8b7ee291d80a0a40f9122ea5c26fbce71fdd7f","embroidered-uniform-guard-i-can-plunder-talents-chapter-60","embroidered-uniform-guard-i-can-plunder-talents-chapter-58",471,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fembroidered-uniform-guard-i-can-plunder-talents-cover.jpg"]
