Ye Luo was saying this because he didn’t 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 didn’t want too many entanglements.

In the following days, the captain’s fall did not cause any trouble for the other team members.

Moreover, according to the Third Princess, this wasn’t 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 couldn’t be bothered to think about the reasons for this.

Rather, it was the patrol envoy, the Third Princess’s 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 Luo’s identity was different; he had become a guard, and the patrol envoy didn’t have the authority to decide a guard’s 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 don’t want to stay in the Holy City forever! I don’t think you would want that either, so why don’t 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 wouldn’t want to stay a moment longer!

The problem is, does effort work? Even if one’s 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 Realm’s 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 won’t 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 don’t need to persuade me. I plan to serve as a guard here, you see, my strength is progressing rapidly outside!"

The patrol envoy didn’t 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 don’t have a token, so you’re not a real guard. Come back with me now, it’s not too late!" The patrol envoy got angry, knowing his daughter’s 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, she’s not a guard, so taking action against her wouldn’t violate any rules.

"Father, if you insist, then I’ll 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 didn’t 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. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

"Father, don’t 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 you’ve arranged for me isn’t necessarily suitable!" She calmed down instead.

The patrol envoy was taken aback for a moment, then sighed, looking rather complex.

"Since that’s 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 Luo’s.

But the Third Princess caught it, understanding that it contained resources for cultivation, without which she couldn’t 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! I’ll go back first!"

Watching the patrol envoy’s desolate back, the Third Princess’s eyes suddenly reddened.

However, she didn’t say a word, just watched her father disappear into the transmission array.

After all, the patrol envoy’s unauthorized teleportation was against the rules, and he naturally didn’t dare linger, because if discovered by the law enforcers, he wouldn’t be the only one in trouble; even the other emissaries wouldn’t 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 don’t 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 Luo’s strength was incredibly formidable, and the intelligent her had noticed that Ye Luo’s 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 captain’s 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 didn’t even know how many members were in the guard squad.

"I won’t say much, I’ve set some rules, and if anyone breaks them, don’t blame me for being rude!"
