Embroidered Uniform Guard: I Can Plunder Talents

Chapter 615: Chapter 168: The Savior Arrives? Patriarch of the Xie Family (Part 3)

But what surprised them the most was the information Xie Fenghao provided about Ye Liuyun.

"Grandmaster! You are a Grandmaster!"

They originally thought Ye Liuyun was just a youthful prodigy with some talent.

But unexpectedly, this young man was already a Grandmaster.

The crowd was abuzz with discussion.

"Wait, a youthful Grandmaster? Could it be Ye Liuyun, the youthful Grandmaster from Great Qian?"

"Hiss!"

"Could it be true!"

"The Patriarch said so, how could it be false?"

"This!"

"We had only heard stories, but to think it’s actually true!"

"..."

Some people in the crowd had already realized the truth.

After all, although they hadn’t seen Ye Liuyun in person, they had clearly heard of the youthful Grandmaster.

Now, many people in the world knew of the youthful Grandmaster from Great Qian, and it’s just that people hadn’t expected to meet him here.

In a moment, everyone began to look at Ye Liuyun with awe.

This was indeed a Grandmaster; the gap in strength demanded respect from them.

Listening to these discussions, Xie Zheng and his group were pale with fear.

It was clear what kind of punishment their Patriarch would give them for offending a Grandmaster.

Xie Fenghao did not even want to waste words on such matters, and simply gestured with his hand.

In the next moment.

Several figures in black appeared beside Xie Fenghao.

As the Patriarch of the Xie family, Xie Fenghao naturally maintained a group of henchmen loyal only to him.

All these people were of the Innate Realm.

Without needing specific instructions, these men immediately went over to Xie Zheng and his group, apprehending them without a word.

Evidently, they knew that struggling was useless and were carried away resignedly.

"Brother Ye, rest assured, I will certainly give you an explanation!"

Xie Fenghao had no desire to provoke Ye Liuyun’s displeasure because of such a matter.

"Since Brother Xie has said so, I won’t say more."

What’s done is done.

Since Xie Fenghao was being considerate, Ye Liuyun wouldn’t act unreasonably.

He was here to attend the auction, not to cause trouble.

Even if he wasn’t afraid of offending the Xie family, there was no need to deliberately do so—it would be foolishness, not bravery.

"Hahaha!"

Seeing Ye Liuyun being so considerate, Xie Fenghao couldn’t help but laugh, feeling much relieved internally.

At this time, he also noticed Xie Ling’Er standing beside Ye Liuyun.

"Patriarch!"

Upon catching Xie Fenghao’s gaze, Xie Ling’Er respectfully called.

Feeling reassured.

When Xie Fenghao first appeared.

Xie Ling’Er felt a momentary concern, worried that action might be taken against Ye Liuyun. But now it seemed she had overthought.

Or perhaps underestimated Ye Liuyun’s status as a Grandmaster.

Thinking of this.

Xie Ling’Er couldn’t resist getting closer to Ye Liuyun, holding his arm with both hands.

Seeing this.

Rather than feeling annoyed, Xie Fenghao’s smile grew wider.

Drawing a Grandmaster into the family through a family member is certainly a profitable deal.

It’s not the first time Xie Fenghao has attempted such things, though usually without success.

Yet now, without his involvement, a family member successfully accomplished it, which pleased Xie Fenghao greatly.

"You are Xie Ling’Er, aren’t you!"

Clearly, Xie Fenghao had received information before and was very familiar with Xie Ling’Er’s identity.

"Yes, Patriarch!"

Xie Ling’Er nodded without hesitation.

"No need to be so formal!"

Seeing her politeness, Xie Fenghao waved his hand.

"In terms of relation, I should be considered your uncle."

"???"

Uncle?

How could there be such a thing?

Despite belonging to the same family, after so many generations, many don’t even have any blood connection.

Calling him uncle seems absurd.

If this relation were valid, Xie Zheng wouldn’t dare have any designs on Xie Ling’Er.

Nonetheless, Xie Ling’Er was clever.

After a brief moment of surprise, she quickly realized why Xie Fenghao spoke this way—it was to close relations with her, obviously.

The purpose of doing so.

Xie Ling’Er didn’t need to think further; apart from Ye Liuyun, there couldn’t be another reason.

"These years have been hard for you; I’ve kept an eye on your efforts, managing the Fragrant Loft in Great Qian splendidly."

"If you want, you can choose any Fragrant Loft of the main family to oversee!"

This was an attempt to win Xie Ling’Er over.

Of course.

The true purpose was to win over Ye Liuyun through Xie Ling’Er.

"Thank you, Uncle!"

Xie Ling’Er wasn’t foolish.

At such a time, it would be unwise to directly contradict, claiming there was no uncle relation.

Instead, she called him affectionately.

However, regarding Xie Fenghao’s offer, Xie Ling’Er shook her head.

"No need, Uncle, I’m fine in Great Qian, and besides, there I can spend more time with my husband!"

In closing.

She gazed at Ye Liuyun with love.

Previously, if offered the opportunity to oversee the main family’s Fragrant Loft, Xie Ling’Er would agree without hesitation.

The main family’s Fragrant Loft compared to others might seem similar.

But overseeing the main family’s signifies entry to the core of family influence, differing significantly.

Yet Xie Ling’Er knew well.

It was due to Ye Liuyun that Xie Fenghao spoke to her like this.

Without Ye Liuyun, Xie Fenghao might not even recognize her.
