Chapter 476: Chapter 133: Aura of Intimidation! The Might of a Grandmaster (Part 2)

Mei Ji’s original plan was simply to use her looks to seduce Ye Liuyun, and have him help her get into the Imperial Palace.

To find Yan Fuhai’s sleeping quarters.

As for the idea of using Ye Liuyun’s strength to deal with Yan Fuhai together, Mei Ji really hadn’t considered that.

Her own hatred.

No need to drag innocent people into it.

"So, what, you’re actually some kind of saint!"

Hearing Ye Liuyun’s mocking tone.

Mei Ji replied unhappily.

"You don’t have to mock me like that. Anyway, I’m in your hands now, so do as you please. Dying at the hands of Yan Fuhai or at yours—there really isn’t much difference!"

With that, Mei Ji closed her eyes, resigning herself to death.

However.

From her trembling eyelashes, it was clear that she wasn’t calm inside at all.

Which made sense—how many people in this world can truly stay unfazed when facing death? You’re still scared, no matter what you pretend.

What a shame.

She didn’t even get to see Yan Fuhai’s face before dying.

She would have no face to meet Sister Liu in the underworld!

"Is this Liu Qingqing really that important to you? You’re willing to die for her revenge?"

Ye Liuyun didn’t rush to act.

Instead, he asked curiously.

"What do you know!"

Other things she could brush off, but mention Liu Qingqing and Mei Ji couldn’t hold back.

"Sister Liu is the kindest, most gentle person in the world. She’s like a fairy descended to earth. Do you know how many people Sister Liu saved from starving to death?"

"My very life belongs to Sister Liu. As long as I can avenge her, so what if I die?"

According to the Embroidered Uniform Guard’s intel, they did have descriptions of this Liu Qingqing.

It’s hard to imagine that such an extraordinary woman could have existed in this era.

Liu Qingqing’s family wasn’t well-off. The money she used to help the people was all earned through Qingshui Pavilion.

No wonder.

At the time, Yan Fuhai used every trick in the book to get his hands on Liu Qingqing.

There probably aren’t many monarchs who could refuse a beauty like that.

"To die for Miss is our honor!"

Granny Liu, standing to the side, spoke in a deep voice. Grandpa Qu might not have said anything, but the look in his eyes already said it all—he’d die before surrendering.

Back then, they’d already run once.

This time, no matter what, they would not run again.

"Interesting!"

He glanced at Granny Liu and the others, then looked at Mei Ji, who was still closing her eyes as if waiting for death.

Ye Liuyun suddenly laughed.

"Your cultivation might not be that high, but when dealing with Yan Fuhai, you just might become a surprise factor!"

No matter what.

One late-stage Grandmaster, one early-stage Grandmaster—if used well, maybe they really could do something unexpected.

"???"

As soon as he said that,

both Mei Ji and Granny Liu obviously froze.

"To deal with Yan Fuhai?"

Wait a minute!

It suddenly clicked—Ye Liuyun had been calling Yan Fuhai by name, all along, without a trace of respect.

She hadn’t paid much attention to that before, but thinking carefully, that’s actually a huge red flag.

"You?" At this, Mei Ji opened her eyes, staring at Ye Liuyun with suspicion and surprise.

"Don’t tell me you think you’re the only ones in the entire Great Qian Dynasty who want Yan Fuhai dead!"

As for his own grudge with Yan Fuhai? It wasn’t all that deep, really.

It was just because he was in the way!

As for the throne—maybe others wanted it, but Ye Liuyun genuinely didn’t care.

If you want to be a tyrant, be a tyrant.

If you really want to be a good emperor, the memorials you’d have to review every day would take your life! So many concubines in the harem, but no time to enjoy them—that’s just ridiculous!

If Yan Shuzhu could hold onto the throne,

that would undoubtedly be the most beneficial scenario for Ye Liuyun.

But now,

because of Yan Fuhai, Yan Shuzhu’s position wasn’t secure, and that inevitably affected Ye Liuyun’s own interests too.

Besides,

Ye Liuyun knew firsthand how suspicious and overbearing Yan Fuhai was.

If it weren’t for Destiny Retribution, Ye Liuyun believed Yan Fuhai would have made a move against him already.

Since that’s the case, why not strike first? Ye Liuyun was never one to sit and wait. Instead of worrying how to guard against Yan Fuhai,

why not kill him first?

If he did that, wouldn’t all his worries be gone?

Perfect!

"You have a grudge with Yan Fuhai too?"

Hearing Ye Liuyun say this,

Mei Ji simply thought that Ye Liuyun must also have some deep personal enmity with Yan Fuhai—hence, he wanted him dead.

A grudge?

Not really—he was just in the way, that’s all.

But Ye Liuyun didn’t intend to explain, just nodded and went along with it.

"If that helps you understand, then so be it."

"I see!"

Who could say if she was really that naive,

or if—

with a bastard like Yan Fuhai, having so many people after his head was only natural; so Mei Ji believed him right away.

"That damned Yan Fuhai—someone like that shouldn’t even be alive!"

Should have realized it earlier.

Yan Fuhai was never any good. How could they be the only ones in the world who’d wish him dead?
