Chapter 535 - 148: The Plan Succeeded! The Grand Eunuch’s World Collapses

At this moment.

Wei Hongfang actually hoped.

That Ye Liuyun would strike a little harder.

It would be best if he directly crippled the brothers Yun Hu and Guan Bao, so you won’t dare show off in front of me again.

After Wei Hongfang left.

The two brothers, Yun Hu and Guan Bao.

Also left the palace one after the other.

"Second Brother!"

It wasn’t convenient to talk about this inside the palace.

But after leaving the palace, Guan Bao couldn’t hold back his doubts.

"That Ye Liuyun is not someone easy to deal with!"

Even Wei Hongfang got beaten, so if they went over, wouldn’t they be beaten too?

Ever since acquiring the "War God Skill," Guan Bao had become much more confident, but confidence and recklessness are not the same; he’s still at Innate Perfection, how can he fight against Ye Liuyun, a Grandmaster?

Isn’t this practically courting death?

"Don’t worry, I already have a plan!"

Yun Hu wasn’t surprised by Guan Bao’s concerns; he seemed to have anticipated that his brother would say this.

And since Yun Hu had brought it up and taken this task upon himself, he clearly had arrangements in place.

Guan Bao was full of questions and wanted to ask right away.

But seeing Yun Hu’s "we’ll talk when we get home," immediately silencing him with an "eavesdroppers around" look, Guan Bao had no choice but to suppress his doubts, following Yun Hu all the way back to their residence.

"Second Brother, tell me, what’s the plan? You’re killing me with suspense!"

Guan Bao had already shown great patience for his nature.

Lacking patience to begin with, it was impressive he held out this long.

Yun Hu gave a confident smile.

Now back at his own residence, with no one around, there was no fear of being overheard.

"Actually, it’s very simple. You’ve just overthought the problem. Do you remember what exactly was the order given by His Majesty?"

"???"

Though puzzled by Yun Hu’s question.

After a moment of confusion, Guan Bao replied honestly.

"I remember, His Majesty asked us to give Ye Liuyun a little lesson, to make him understand the rules!"

To be honest, Guan Bao still couldn’t quite grasp what sort of rules Ye Liuyun was supposed to learn.

"Exactly! Just a little lesson, no one said we have to use force!"

Hearing Guan Bao’s answer.

Yun Hu’s smile grew more confident.

But Guan Bao was even more puzzled now.

Ye Liuyun isn’t someone with a good temper. Mentioning a minor lesson would likely provoke him into action.

There’s no one as aggressive in the entire Imperial City.

Seeing Guan Bao’s expression.

Yun Hu knew he hadn’t understood his meaning yet.

So he continued explaining.

"Let me put it this way, as long as we make a trip to Ye Liuyun’s residence, how would His Majesty know whether we actually gave him a lesson or not? Would he personally ask?"

",,,

Though not as shrewd as Yun Hu, Guan Bao isn’t a fool.

The point had been made clear.

Even if he were a fool, he’d understand his brother’s intention now.

Feign compliance!

Uh! It seemed back when working under the eunuch Wei Hongfang; they’d often feigned compliance, claiming some tasks were done when they weren’t, knowing Wei Hongfang wouldn’t check personally.

"If you’d said this earlier, I would’ve understood immediately!"

They’d become quite adept at this kind of thing.

The only change was, the person they’re feigning with went from Wei Hongfang to Yan Fuhai.

"Prepare, we’ll visit tomorrow!"

Though planning feigned compliance.

They still needed to make a show of visiting Ye Liuyun’s estate, so nothing seemed amiss on the surface.

"Understood!"

Now Guan Bao understood the intricacies involved.

So without hesitation, he immediately agreed.

Seeing this, Yun Hu said nothing more,

Only that his eyes flickered with an undeniable ambition.

Perhaps, after this, they could fully replace the eunuch Wei Hongfang. The more he thought about it, the more excited he became.

,,,

The next day.

Yun Hu and Guan Bao indeed paid a visit to Ye Liuyun’s residence.

Ye Liuyun, though mostly busy, wasn’t constantly working, usually taking two days off each week.

Yun Hu and Guan Bao, aware of this.

Chose this timing to approach Ye Liuyun.

"Hmm?"

Upon hearing Yun Hu and Guan Bao had arrived, Ye Liuyun raised an eyebrow slightly.

Casually gesturing to his servant to bring them in.

"I am Yun Hu (Guan Bao), greetings to the Southern Governor!"

Before they came, the two had conferred and knew what to do.

So upon seeing Ye Liuyun, they showed utmost politeness, cupping their hands and bowing in greeting.

",,,

Ye Liuyun didn’t rush to respond.

Holding a teacup in one hand, observing them as they maintained their bowed posture, after a moment, he spoke slowly,

"Yesterday, your godfather was just beaten out of my residence, and today you’ve come calling. What, are you planning to avenge him?"

"Of course not!"

Guan Bao didn’t answer; Yun Hu did.

Evidently.

Yun Hu knew Guan Bao’s temperament, aware that in moments of stress, he might say something wrong.
