Ye Luo was saying this because he didnât want to engage in too much conversation with her.
Or rather, he now preferred to maintain a kind of interest exchange with the base and didnât want too many entanglements.
In the following days, the captainâs fall did not cause any trouble for the other team members.
Moreover, according to the Third Princess, this wasnât the first time a captain had fallen, and a new captain would soon arrive.
However, no matter how many captains fall, the new captain will definitely not emerge from these guards.
Ye Luo couldnât be bothered to think about the reasons for this.
Rather, it was the patrol envoy, the Third Princessâs father, who finally teleported out from the transmission array.
Ye Luo now knew that even if a patrol envoy wanted to teleport out, it would require a huge cost.
Of course, this cost was mainly in terms of resources and treasures.
"How dare you, hurry back with me!"
Upon seeing the Third Princess, the patrol envoy became extremely angry.
He wished to vent his anger on Ye Luo, but now Ye Luoâs identity was different; he had become a guard, and the patrol envoy didnât have the authority to decide a guardâs life or death!
Or perhaps they had become fodder, maybe because the law enforcers felt uneasy about it, so they were granted some rights.
"Father, I have already decided to train here; I donât want to stay in the Holy City forever! I donât think you would want that either, so why donât we make some efforts!" the Third Princess retorted without backing down.
Suddenly, the patrol envoy fell silent.
Effort? How had he not tried before? Who would want to stay in this dreadful place? Even if given the entire Holy City, he wouldnât want to stay a moment longer!
The problem is, does effort work? Even if oneâs strength reached the level of a law enforcer, there was still no hope!
Because no one knew how many law enforcers were guarding this area!
These law enforcers represented the peak of the Martial Realmâs strength, and so far, no cultivator from the Holy City had ever successfully escaped.
"Daughter, I know you are inherently proud, but after all, you were born here, so just live comfortably for the rest of your life. With me around, you surely wonât suffer any grievances!" His gaze became gentle.
It was clear that he was quite doting on this daughter of his.
But the Third Princess immediately shook her head resolutely, "Father, my mind is made up, you donât need to persuade me. I plan to serve as a guard here, you see, my strength is progressing rapidly outside!"
The patrol envoy didnât have the mind to observe her strength, and anyway, her strength was nothing in his eyes.
"Nonsense, do you even know what it means to be a guard? And you donât have a token, so youâre not a real guard. Come back with me now, itâs not too late!" The patrol envoy got angry, knowing his daughterâs temperament. Once she had made up her mind, there was no turning back, so he had to take some mandatory measures to bring her back.
After all, without a token, sheâs not a guard, so taking action against her wouldnât violate any rules.
"Father, if you insist, then Iâll die right in front of you!"
With that, the spiritual energy in her body began to surge, with a posture suggesting she intended to self-destruct!
Ye Luo was a bit surprised; he didnât expect her to be such a resolute woman! But he admired this kind of character.
"You! Are you really trying to anger me to death?" The patrol envoy roared in fury.
"Father, donât you understand? I am indeed your daughter, and I will always remember your kindness in raising me, but I have grown up. I have my own fate, and what youâve arranged for me isnât necessarily suitable!" She calmed down instead.
The patrol envoy was taken aback for a moment, then sighed, looking rather complex.
"Since thatâs the case, I respect your decision. But! Ah, never mind, take this, contact me if anything happens, and just be careful!"
He tossed over a Qiankun Ring, though incomparable to Ye Luoâs.
But the Third Princess caught it, understanding that it contained resources for cultivation, without which she couldnât survive in this environment.
After all, her strength was too weak, much lower than those of the guard squad members.
"Well, time is almost up! Iâll go back first!"
Watching the patrol envoyâs desolate back, the Third Princessâs eyes suddenly reddened.
However, she didnât say a word, just watched her father disappear into the transmission array.
After all, the patrol envoyâs unauthorized teleportation was against the rules, and he naturally didnât dare linger, because if discovered by the law enforcers, he wouldnât be the only one in trouble; even the other emissaries wouldnât escape responsibility.
"Do you... not regret it?" Ye Luo asked.
For a pampered princess to make such a decision was indeed surprising.
"I have no regrets; from the moment I stepped out with you, I never regretted it! I want to pursue my own life!" she said firmly.
At this moment, Ye Luo realized she was truly the Third Princess! Previously, he had underestimated her.
"Alright, since you think so, I am also relieved. If you donât understand anything in body refinement in the future, I can help you out!"
Hearing this, the Third Princess was naturally very pleased. From what she understood, Ye Luoâs strength was incredibly formidable, and the intelligent her had noticed that Ye Luoâs strength was on par with the patrol envoy!
This was one of the reasons she chose to stay!
But of course, this was just a small episode. For the entire guard squad, the real big event was the arrival of the new captain!
And this captainâs cultivation was incredibly profound, far surpassing the previous captain!
Even with such cultivation, being a patrol envoy would have been more than enough, so why come here to be the captain of a guard squad?
Leaving aside the question of being overqualified, both the guard captain and the guards were essentially fodder, and once they stepped into this, their fate was practically sealed!
Could it be that this captain also had a story?
Of course, judging by his full beard, he might indeed have a story, or maybe not.
But this captain was much more active than the previous one. Upon taking office, he gathered all the guards together.
This had never happened before, indeed, Ye Luo even suspected that the previous captain probably didnât even know how many members were in the guard squad.
"I wonât say much, Iâve set some rules, and if anyone breaks them, donât blame me for being rude!"
