Chapter 3426: Royal Mansion Guard

"Royal Mansion guard?" Ye Liuyun was a bit stunned; this sudden change was huge and somewhat unexpected.

Hao Tai, fearing he might not know, specifically explained: "Although it's a guard position, the status and rank are far beyond what you have now. Moreover, you won't lack cultivation resources in the future!"

"Once you're heavily employed by the Prince, the Crown Prince, the Princess, and others, you'll soar to fame; perhaps I'll even borrow your light later—much better than staying in the army!"

"Oh!" Ye Liuyun nodded blankly.

He must obey the army's official order.

He glanced at Chen Yueying, who merely shrugged, pretending not to know.

"She doesn't know? What's going on?" Ye Liuyun's mind was clouded.

Hao Tai also knew Ye Liuyun was uninformed. Yet with Chen Yueying present, no further explanation was needed.

"Alright, get ready, and we'll set off immediately!"

"Yes!" Ye Liuyun could only agree.

Before leaving, he didn't forget to thank Hao Tai, after all Hao Tai had been kind to him. Hao Tai consequently regarded Ye Liuyun even more favorably.

"Is this matter related to you?"

Ye Liuyun asked Chen Yueying as soon as he came out.

"What does it have to do with me! I had no idea you were being transferred to the Royal Mansion!" Chen Yueying still wouldn't admit.

"Then why did you have to take us to the Royal Mansion to report?" Ye Liuyun pressed.

"If I didn't take you, would you know the way? I guess President Hao Tai knew it was on my route, so he arranged it like this!" Chen Yueying replied offhand.

Seeing she wouldn't elaborate, Ye Liuyun stopped asking, first escorted her back to the camp tent, then went to find Liao Yaotian and the others.

"That's great! A Royal Mansion guard—its status is far higher than being a soldier here! And we won't have to worry about resources later!" Liao Yaotian said immediately.

Qi Tianlin and Chen Mo were also extremely excited.

"Did that woman arrange it for you?" Liao Yaotian pretended to be mysterious, asking Ye Liuyun.

"I asked her; she said no," Ye Liuyun helplessly shook his head.

"It must be her. Otherwise why would she bring the three of us along? Only she knows we're your brothers," Liao Yaotian said confidently.

Ye Liuyun, too lazy to guess wildly, said: "Stop guessing; we'll know sooner or later. She doesn't want to say, and I'm too lazy to ask. You all tidy up"

"and then follow me right away!"

"I can't wait a moment for such good news; there's nothing to tidy up. My mind's already on it, just let's go!" Liao Yaotian laughed.

Ye Liuyun looked at Qi Tianlin and Chen Mo, and both excitedly nodded.

"Then let's set off!"

Thus the group said goodbye to some familiar soldiers, went to the large tent to fetch Chen Yueying, and left the camp together.

With Liao Yaotian, the journey became livelier. The group toured around the city with a Teleportation Array they passed.

Not only had Ye Liuyun never traveled widely, but Liao Yaotian and the others were similar, having visited few major cities. So Chen Yueying gladly gave them an early glimpse of the world, lest they embarrass themselves after arriving at the Royal City.

But she quickly realized that wherever Ye Liuyun went, he handled it effortlessly, unlike anyone else. Even in the junior Leader's uniform, a powerful aura surrounded him.

The few of them slowly made their way back to the Royal Mansion. Normally they could use five Teleportation Arrays per day, but they spent seven days traveling. Only when Chen Yueying brought them to the Royal Mansion did Ye Liuyun and the others become serious.

Chen Yueying asked them to wait outside the mansion, went inside to find someone to fetch them, then entered the Royal Mansion herself. The gate-guarding guards seemed to recognize her and saluted.

"What is Miss Yueying's status?" Liao Yaotian, after seeing her, sent a Transmission Voice to Ye Liuyun and the others.

Chen Mo hadn't thought about the question at all, and Ye Liuyun was too lazy to consider it. Qi Tianlin looked at Liao Yaotian and said, "Could it be..."

Liao Yaotian nodded: "Very possible?"

"What?" Ye Liuyun looked bewildered at the two of them.

"You don't need to worry about what it is; it's all good for you anyway!" Liao Yaotian deliberately left it vague, not telling him. Please download the AiYue app for the latest content.

Qi Tianlin smiled but said nothing.

"Pretending to be mysterious!" Ye Liuyun gave them a withering look and then assessed the cultivations of the guards at the entrance.

"The gate guards here are all at the Taixu Third Realm, while our levels seem a bit low!" Chen Mo sent a Transmission Voice to them.

"Indeed. We really need to hurry to raise our realms, or else we'll be looked down upon!" Liao Yaotian confirmed.

They knew

This time they borrowed light from Ye Liuyun, but in the future they couldn't always rely on him; they must accelerate their own advancement.

Soon, an elderly man looking like a steward emerged from the mansion, greeted them, then registered them and issued Leader Tokens and uniforms.

He instructed them: "You will temporarily serve as the Princess's personal guards, responsible for her safety. Stay here for now and await a summons from the Princess!"

He then personally led them to the guards' quarters, placing them in a Side Courtyard.

After changing into the uniforms and wearing the Tokens, they gathered again in the courtyard.

"From now on, we're all Royal Mansion guards?" Chen Mo confirmed with the others.

"Of course! Our status has changed dramatically!" Liao Yaotian exclaimed exaggeratedly.

Ye Liuyun felt no particular joy. He was only wondering what connection the Princess's personal guard had with Chen Yueying.

"Could she be the Princess?" Suddenly, he considered that possibility.

He had always thought Chen Yueying was an inner disciple of the Qianling Sect, never linked to the Royal Mansion. Now, on reflection, it seemed possible.

Liao Yaotian then asked Ye Liuyun: "Don't you think the Princess's personal guard is connected to Chen Yueying? If— I mean, if, if Chen Yueying is the Princess, what should we do later?"

"What else can we do? Protect her safety! Aren't we the Princess's personal guards?" Ye Liuyun replied.

"You don't seem to mind. But the few of us are borrowing light through you; if we perform poorly and the Princess is dissatisfied, we might be sent back to our original posts!" Liao Yaotian said.

"It won't be that bad; we'll see how it goes. As long as we do our duties, nothing will go wrong!"

Ye Liuyun didn't place much value on the guard title. He merely told everyone to curb their excitement and return to their rooms to focus on strengthening themselves.

"Stop analyzing; hurry back to cultivate, otherwise our realms are low and future tasks will be inconvenient!"

"Indeed, even the gate guards are at the Taixu Third Realm; our realms are probably the lowest in the Royal Mansion!" Liao Yaotian agreed, arranging to return and cultivate.
