"Senior, we need to teleport!" Ye Luo suddenly said as he approached the old man.

The old man lifted his cloudy eyes to glance at them, then accepted the token from Ye Luo’s hand.

Immediately afterward, the old man activated the transmission array for them without saying an extra word.

Ye Luo understood that such an elder was no longer interested in worldly affairs. Managing the transmission array here must be for a special reason.

Naturally, Ye Luo did not seek further trouble and directly entered the transmission array with the Third Princess.

A flash of white light flickered, and their figures disappeared within the transmission array.

"I hope you can bring change to this Holy City!"

Watching the two vanish, the old man sighed softly.

The scenery in front of them flickered, and the two returned to the Holy City. Compared to the outside environment, the Holy City deserved its name.

Ye Luo now somewhat understood why those cultivators enjoyed being in the Holy City. It truly was a place worth enjoying.

As soon as Ye Luo appeared, many cultivators immediately surrounded them.

"Welcome, my lord!"

These cultivators were almost all young people, each saluting Ye Luo with a respectful demeanor.

After all, possessing the token, Ye Luo was this time’s emissary for selecting guards.

At this moment, the authority of the Guard Captain had become the greatest.

Seeing this, Ye Luo nodded subtly, unsurprised, for he had seen such formations before, and these few individuals naturally did not concern him.

"Alright, you may go back first. I’ll be visiting each tribe later!"

After speaking, he directly led the Third Princess toward her group.

His behavior sparked dissatisfaction among those young people.

"Hmph, what a reckless fellow to show us such attitude this time!"

"Heh, looking at how young he is, he probably doesn’t understand the intricacies involved. By the time he figures it out, it will likely be the end for him!"

"Let’s go, this young man seems quite ambitious. We should return and report back!"

They hastily returned to their group.

"Young Master, your attitude might bring you a lot of trouble!" the Third Princess said worriedly.

"No worries!" Ye Luo replied nonchalantly, "If we treat them too kindly now, handling future matters would be difficult."

The Third Princess knew Ye Luo had his own considerations. Although young, his heart was immensely strong.

Soon, they arrived at the Patrol Envoy’s territory.

This time, the Patrol Envoy personally emerged.

"Haha, Ye Luo, you’ve finally arrived!" the Patrol Envoy burst into laughter.

These words carried deep implications.

Ye Luo nodded slightly, "I’m honored that the Patrol Envoy took the trouble, truly overwhelming!"

The Patrol Envoy smiled and shook his head, indifferent to such pleasantries, and instead looked at the Third Princess.

"This time around, don’t leave again. You should understand by now how the outside world truly is," the Patrol Envoy said.

For this daughter, he was truly concerned.

However, the Third Princess was unwilling to comply, "I feel the outside world is wonderful. Haven’t you noticed how quickly my cultivation has progressed in a short time?"

Hearing this, the Patrol Envoy’s expression darkened, "A woman’s cultivation, no matter how high, is ultimately pointless!"

Yet, the Third Princess seemed disinterested in further conversation, completely unmoved.

"Enough, come with me!" the Patrol Envoy said.

Once inside the palace, the Patrol Envoy took Ye Luo aside to a solitary hall.

Clearly, he had matters to discuss with Ye Luo, and it was evident that the Patrol Envoy was no ordinary individual, much superior to the Guard Captain.

"Ye Luo, share your thoughts!"

Upon entering the hall, the Patrol Envoy’s expression turned stern and straightforward.

Ye Luo knew that despite the Patrol Envoy’s outward cheerfulness, he was straightforward and disliked frivolous words.

"I wish to gain your support, aiming to collaborate with you. The Third Princess told me you were once a remarkably talented figure—even as a Patrol Envoy now, it’s far from your dreams. Are you content to remain a Patrol Envoy for life?"

Ye Luo’s words were truly daring, taking a significant risk. The Patrol Envoy, after all, was a high-ranking figure in this Holy City, likely connected to both emissaries and law enforcers.

"Bold, Ye Luo, as the Vice Captain and an emissary responsible for recruiting, to speak such treasonous words—are you not aware that if this spreads, we both would be doomed!" The Patrol Envoy immediately erupted in fury.

"There’s no need for anger, my lord. It’s just the two of us here; it definitely won’t get out. Also, considering the current state of the Holy City, you probably understand better than I do. If we don’t take action, there truly won’t be any opportunities!" Ye Luo laughed.

"Nonsense, such outrageous words shouldn’t be spoken again. You should calmly stay here!"

With that, the Patrol Envoy swept his sleeves and left.

Ye Luo remained unconcerned, understanding that the Patrol Envoy’s attitude was somewhat ambiguous—at least he didn’t expressly reject the idea, showing a hint of interest!

Following this, Ye Luo began to exit, as ostensibly, his purpose here was to recruit guards, and he needed to at least act the part.

Just stepping outside, several young men, swaggering, approached.

Ye Luo recognized these as the Patrol Envoy’s offspring. Each appeared with superficial auras and low realms, arms around heavily made-up women. Upon spotting Ye Luo, they immediately surrounded him.

"Kid, it seems you have some skills, having reached the Vice Captain role, but don’t be arrogant. This is the Holy City; you might not even leave here!" one of the young men said disdainfully.

Ye Luo was unfazed, as these were merely minor players compared to the Patrol Envoy, an immense disparity.

"Oh? Whether I can leave or not isn’t for you to worry about. Your ages seem apt; perhaps you can return with me to serve as guards!"

Upon Ye Luo’s words, the young men’s faces instantly changed.

"Ye Luo, do you know who you’re speaking to? We are the Patrol Envoy’s sons. How dare you suggest we become guards? Do you not value your life?" one of the offspring shouted.

"It seems that before coming here, the Captain mentioned that as long as one meets the age criteria, they can be recruited as guards. Why not add you to the list and see if you qualify to become guards!"
