Then, Ye Luo smiled, "Donât worry, I have my own plan!"
After speaking, he pulled the Third Princessâs hand and walked into the tent.
The Third Princess symbolically resisted a bit but let him lead her.
In the distance, the captain and a few team members were observing Ye Luoâs direction through something similar to a telescope.
"Itâs damnable, heâs actually involved with the Third Princess, no wonder heâs so arrogant!" the captain squinted his eyes.
"Captain, should we still proceed with our plan?" a young team member beside him asked.
"Of course, even if heâs with the Third Princess, theyâre secretly together. When the Patrol Envoy arrives, that guy wonât know what hit him, and once our plan is implemented, he wonât last until the Patrol Envoy arrives; heâll be executed by the Emissary!" the captain said with a gloomy face.
Technically, Ye Luo had given him a bottle of Essence of the Spirit Pond, so he shouldnât hate him this much, but every time Ye Luo puts on that annoying face, it irritates him incredibly.
Also, he felt Ye Luo must have hidden treasures. This time, he just wanted to catch Ye Luoâs weak spot, and if Ye Luo remained unyielding, he could only hand him over to the Emissary for execution.
"But Captain, if those pests damage the Gold Silk Wood, the Emissary wonât spare us either!" the team member said worriedly.
In fact, this was also a concern for the captain.
"Donât worry, I have my ways with the Emissary. Itâs not our first time dealing with the Emissary; a few Gold Silk Wood wonât cause us any punishment!" the captain said, squinting his eyes.
"Alright, Captain. Iâll release those pests now!"
At this point, Ye Luo and the Third Princess had returned to the tent. Of course, Ye Luo wasnât going to do anything inappropriate with her.
Through these days of interaction, the Third Princess had come to understand Ye Luoâs nature. He just talked whimsically, but in reality, he wouldnât even touch a finger of hers.
Therefore, once back, she continued her cultivation, as she still relied on absorbing resources to withstand the harsh environment.
Though Ye Luo closed his eyes, his Divine Sense had already spread out.
Despite the environment hindering the spread of Divine Sense, Ye Luoâs Divine Sense was far too powerful, allowing him to clearly grasp the surrounding situation.
Moreover, the previous captain and team members observing him had been detected, yet he didnât reveal it, understanding the captain was likely planning against him.
However, Ye Luo wasnât a good-natured person, so since the captain plotted against him, he wouldnât let the captain have peace either.
"Fire Turkey, howâs your preparation going?" Ye Luo asked into the base.
"Relax! Itâs all ready!" Fire Turkey replied impatiently.
Clearly, it was engrossed in the pond, enjoying itself immensely.
Ye Luo knew Fire Turkey was quite reliable.
Soon, Ye Luo heard the sound of wings flapping through the air, but before he reacted, the Third Princess suddenly opened her eyes.
"Sir, the pests are coming, what should we do? The captain didnât give us tools to capture the pests!"
Saying this, she stood up and anxiously watched outside.
Ye Luo looked at her curiously, "Itâs alright, if these pests damage the Gold Silk Wood, the Emissary will surely punish me, and if I perish, wouldnât you be free?"
The Third Princess blinked in surprise, as she hadnât thought of such a thing.
Thinking it over, it made sense, but she internally wished Ye Luo no harm.
Suddenly, she felt conflicted.
Ye Luo smiled and didnât wait for her answer, walking out directly.
Upon exiting the tent, he saw five or six pests fluttering their wings, heading straight for the Gold Silk Forest.
With just these few, Ye Luo could completely slaughter them!
However, he knew that countless eyes were watching him from the sky now, entirely different from last time. Last time, those pests attacked everywhere, and many regions suffered invasions, leaving little mood for watching the commotion.
Nevertheless, due to the events last time, no problems arose in his region, so he suspected quite a few prominent figures were observing him.
Additionally, the captain tried to bribe the Emissary with the Essence of the Spirit Pond, which was clearly from Ye Luo.
Therefore, this time, Ye Luo couldnât reveal his true strength, which would bring significant trouble.
Of course, he hadnât planned on handling these pests by such means.
Instead, he merely stared blankly at the pests, seemingly frozen.
Even the Third Princess thought he had been scared silly, yet she didnât approach to remind him, as the pests were nearly upon the Gold Silk Wood, practically unstoppable. They awaited only the destruction of the Gold Silk Wood, considering the massive damage pests inflict upon it.
However, at that moment, a strange occurrence suddenly happened.
Those pests abruptly stopped, then scattered in a flurry, flying away!
Whatâs going on?
People around were wide-eyed, yet they were sure it had nothing to do with Ye Luo; he was merely scared stiff all along!
Could his guarded area be peculiar?
But wasnât this area always the most pest-infested one?
Others didnât have time to think further, as the pests regrouped and headed straight toward the captainâs area.
Naturally, others didnât find this odd, as the captainâs plot against Ye Luo was widespread knowledge.
Therefore, the pests naturally went back to the captainâs side.
"Damn it, whatâs going on, why didnât the pests damage the Gold Silk Wood!" the captain immediately roared.
Taking such a huge risk, attempting to frame Ye Luo but unsuccessfully, how could he not be furious!
"Captain, maybe thereâs something wrong with these pests, we should retract them. If the Secret Technique fails and they escape, weâll be in big trouble!" a Guard said worriedly.
Upon hearing this, the captain could only nod. The only reason the pests obeyed, heading to Ye Luoâs area to destroy the Gold Silk Wood, was due to the Secret Technique.
"Somethingâs wrong, Captain!"
A Guard suddenly ran over, exclaiming.
"Damn it, can you talk properly, whatâs wrong, whereâs the problem!" the captain was also infuriated, already in a foul mood.
