The senior didn’t mind at all; instead, he put down the wine jug and smiled at Ye Luo.

"I told you before, if there’s a day when you return, then I will have to make some decisions!"

Saying this, he stood up.

Ye Luo suddenly felt somewhat dazed. Although his realm hadn’t improved and his physical body was now in ruins, he felt as though the connection with the mysterious place had changed from before, leaving Ye Luo puzzled.

"Come, let’s talk inside!"

With that, he led Ye Luo back inside the house, which Ye Luo was quite familiar with. However, it was just a simple shack with just an extra layer of array, barely able to shelter from wind and rain and shield some divine sense, which had no substantial effect on masters.

"Young man, your appearance may have changed my destiny. Had I not met you, I might have grown old in this Holy City!" the senior said with a laugh.

Upon hearing this, Ye Luo sighed, "Senior, I don’t know whether what I’ve brought to you is good or bad!"

For him, Ye Luo couldn’t treat the Patrol Envoy in the same way, as this senior had no selfish aim toward Ye Luo. What he wanted was nothing but to see the light of day again!

Exactly, to see the light of day again!

He has survived here for too long, causing his realm to drop significantly. In his prime, he was certainly a peerless master.

Even now, he remains as sharp as a drawn sword.

"What you said is wrong; for me, nothing is worse than lingering on in a deteriorated state. No matter what decision, it is the best for me!" the senior laughed. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Ye Luo suddenly raised his head, "Senior, I will perform a set of cultivation technique for you!"

Then, without waiting for the senior’s consent, Ye Luo simply performed a palm strike, naturally it was the Great Sage Palm.

Seeing this cultivation method, the senior’s expression immediately changed.

"Senior!" After exhibiting the strike, Ye Luo stopped.

"I didn’t expect you to actually obtain my inheritance; perhaps this is fate!" he sighed.

Indeed! This senior was the genius who created the Great Saint Physique; Ye Luo had been suspecting since he first saw him.

However, his physical body now is not powerful, and it seems he has returned to cultivation abandoning body refinement.

"Senior, with your talent, how could you end up in such a situation?" Ye Luo finally asked inquisitively.

The senior sighed, "It’s a long story!"

He briefly narrated his experiences; now that Ye Luo has acquired his inheritance, the relationship between the two had naturally become closer, and he had nothing left to hide.

Moreover, Ye Luo had somewhat guessed the senior’s plight, roughly a fortuitous mishap leading to his entrance into the Holy City. Back then, he was a master capable of challenging the Law Enforcers, only to be besieged and severely injured by them, resulting in his current state.

His cultivation made those Law Enforcers quite fearful, and those Patrol Envoys were merely juniors in front of him, thus, they dared not be disrespectful to him.

"Senior, destiny lies in our hands. You managed to be reborn once back then, you can be reborn now. Like a phoenix rejuvenating, every rebirth marks a leap in strength; it’s up to you to seize the opportunity!" Ye Luo said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, the senior pondered deeply, remaining silent.

After a long while, he slapped his thigh, "Right, you make sense; since I managed to stand up last time, I certainly can this time too! But first, the priority is to leave this place. Ye Luo, I know you’re not an ordinary person, then let’s work together to leave here!"

Ye Luo was also quite excited to hear this, after all, this senior was no ordinary person; he was capable of challenging the Law Enforcers, having him along increased the odds considerably.

After engaging in more conversation with the senior, Ye Luo returned to the Patrol Envoy’s mansion.

Of course, some superficial matters still needed attention.

For example, recruiting guards was certainly necessary!

Moreover, the senior had already agreed to become a guard, thus could follow Ye Luo to the Gold Silk Forest. After all, the senior was primarily focused on body refinement, and future cultivation should still center on body refinement. Thus, in the Holy City, cultivation was impossible, but outside would be different.

Currently, what the senior lacks are not experience or cultivation techniques, but time, cultivation environment, and opportunities!

These are completely met by the Gold Silk Forest.

Furthermore, in terms of resources, Ye Luo also planned to supply him, confident that it wouldn’t be long before the senior reemerged, and even if not restored to his previous realm, he certainly could become a formidable power.

However, upon returning to the Patrol Envoy’s mansion, he found the Patrol Envoy waiting in the yard.

"Sir, what is the matter?" Ye Luo asked puzzled.

Logically, the two shouldn’t have anything left to discuss at present.

"Ye Luo, come with me!" His expression was quite serious, and Ye Luo was curious, wondering if something had happened, therefore, he followed the Patrol Envoy to the grand hall.

"Ye Luo, did the senior agree to assist you?" he asked directly.

Ye Luo wasn’t surprised; after all, this was his territory, monitored every move Ye Luo made. Claiming ignorance of Ye Luo visiting the senior is impossible.

"Indeed, the senior agreed to leave with me!"

Instantly, silence enveloped the grand hall.

"I must say, your appearance has indeed changed many things!" the Patrol Envoy sighed, "Alright, since the senior agreed to you, if there are any tasks to be done, just say the word!"

This truly stunned Ye Luo; it meant the Patrol Envoy agreed to assist him utterly!

Could it be, the Patrol Envoy had some past ties with the senior?

"No need to be suspicious, the senior saved my life back then too; without him, I wouldn’t be here today. Moreover, the senior has always had an accurate judgment. If he hadn’t been besieged by the Law Enforcers, he definitely could have escaped, and I’m always convinced he hasn’t entirely fallen; he was just waiting for an opportunity, and it seems I was correct!"

Ye Luo didn’t expect him to hold such a high opinion of the senior, but it was ultimately beneficial to Ye Luo, as his primary concern was escaping!

In the following days, Ye Luo found himself much more at ease; as for the Patrol Envoy’s place, it was his first stop, selecting some guards was the most basic task.
