Sentry: The guide who's getting extra help is very busy today.

Shu didn't find the duel enjoyable at all; it was too fast, and he couldn't see anything clearly before the two sentries were fighting on the other side.

Sometimes, a breath of warm air would brush past her ear, causing her to shiver. Don't overthink it; she was just scared.

Neither side allowed their spiritual entities to participate in the battle.

The training room was also amazing; their fight left it cratered and uneven, but it returned to normal in less than a second.

The only proof is the sweat left on it, but it will disappear in a while.

It's unclear how long the fight lasted, but Fu Yuan won. Shu Zao only realized the outcome when he saw that Yikesa hadn't gotten up.

Xiyu returned to Shuzao's mental landscape, and it was quite afraid of Fuyuan.

Fu Yuan's hand was abnormally twisted, but he twisted it back to its original position without changing his expression.

The sound of bones 'shaking' startled Shu Zao, who hesitated to step forward.

It's too harsh on itself.

When Fu Yuan looked over, Shu Zao hurriedly stepped forward to show concern, and as soon as she did, she was enveloped in the rich scent of fir trees.

Is this the scent of Fuyuan?

It smells nice, with a sense of distance, yet it also gives you a strong feeling of security.

Shu Zao quietly took a breath and felt refreshed.

Sentinels usually conceal their aura, only releasing it during strenuous exercise or when asserting their territory.

"Commander Fuyuan, let's go to the treatment room."

She is born in Xingbei.

This fight was for her, and Xingbei has to pay for it, no matter how hard she tries, as a token of her appreciation.

"No need, it'll be ready in a moment."

"You will still experience pain during the self-healing process."

"It's nothing, I don't feel much about it." Fu Yuan wanted to pat Shu Zao's head, but after looking at her hand, she withdrew it.

"Go ahead and take the picture, I'll be washing my hair when I get back anyway."

That's too strong. Snena Karami is no match for him at all. Is this the difference between B-class and SSS-class?

From this day forward, Fu Yuan is her self-proclaimed godfather!

"Come with me," Fu Yuan said without taking a picture or even looking at Iksa lying on the ground.

"Hey, Dr. Shuzao, I need to speak with you. Could you take me to the treatment room?"

Shuzao: I can't hear you, I can't hear you.

She didn't want to pay for his star coins, and Fu Yuan was fine, but he was the one who made a fuss.

"Ignore him, just treat him like he's not there."

Shu Zao nodded hurriedly: "Okay, Commander Fu Yuan, let's go quickly."

Training room 609 was filled with the smell of cigarettes, and the smell was getting stronger and stronger. Iksa was definitely doing it on purpose.

Unable to bear it any longer, Shu Zao covered her nose.

The smell reminded her of the only non-smoker in her family who developed late-stage lung cancer due to long-term exposure to secondhand smoke, while her smoking family members were fine.

She hates the smell of cigarettes.

Iksa, radiating charm: <(－︿－)＞

You bumpkin, you don't know how to appreciate things.

She didn't react that way to Fu Yuan's scent; even he noticed it, so it's impossible for Fu Yuan not to.

Fu Yuan led Shu Zao into another training room.

"Sit down, no need to stand."

"Mmm." Shuzao sat in the chair, then looked up and blinked, waiting for Fuyuan to continue.

His eyes looked very innocent.

"Release Xiyu."

"Okay." Shu Zao was as cooperative as possible. She wasn't familiar with Fu Yuan, but she knew he was protective of his own.

"Hello, Commander Fuyuan." Xiyu waved a branch; that's emotional intelligence!

"You enjoy playing with the Sentinel Spirits?"

happy Yu looked at Shu Zao, who quickly lowered her head.

Don't look at her; she doesn't know which answer Fu Yuan wants either.

"Hmm, a guiding spirit is fine too, I like excitement." I also like their "worship" of it.

"Aren't you tired?"

"Why are you tired?" That's funny, but it's a bit of a waste of Shuzao's mental energy.

"From now on, on your days off, come to the training room. After the sentries in our building have finished their training, you can play with their spirit entities."

After speaking with Xiyu, Fuyuan looked at Shuzao, who then looked up as she felt the gaze upon her.

"I'll pay you 4000 Star Coins every month."

Shuzao and Xiyu exchanged glances: Star shells fell from the sky!!!

"Um, I—" How was she supposed to tell Fu Yuan that she had booked private tutoring and that she had made an appointment for next month?

"I know about your situation. I said it was your day off, so it doesn't count as your day off."

Xiyu only needs to come at least one day a month, and she must stay in the training room for at least one hour.

She didn't make the sentries pay huge sums of money; she just squeezed out her own time, which showed great conscience.

Even if she does accept it, it's what she deserves; it's the sentry's own choice.

He didn't recommend sending her starfish in various ways, but of course, he couldn't send too many, lest she develop a picky palate.

4000 Star Coins is just right.

According to the sentries below, she especially loves to eat fruit, but with her meager salary and the extra snacks the sentries give her, she still can't eat fruit more than a few times a month.

Shu Zao sensed that Fu Yuan wanted to give her Xingbei, but the conditions he mentioned were just an excuse.

"Are you willing?" Shuzao looked at Xiyu. She was willing, but she didn't know if it was willing.

When something you like becomes your job, it may no longer be something you like.

"Can I only play with the spirits in our building?" Those fluffy sentinels are cute too.

It's fun to play with them.

Fu Yuan didn't force happy Yu too much, saying, "Our building's spiritual entities have priority."

"I do, I do."

"It's a pleasure working together then. Let's add each other's contact information early. I'll send you the Star Coins on the first of every month."

He's very busy and might not be able to see her, so it's impossible for him to go out of his way to find her just to pay for a few coins.

"OK."

Shu Zaogang added Fu Yuan as a friend and he sent him the Star Coins.

"Count today as one day of this month."

"Thank you, Commander Fuyuan." The big spender, he just loves this kind of boss. No, he's leveled up; Fuyuan is her godfather.

She wouldn't tell any living creature about her self-appointed godfather.

"Director Shu can go back now."

"Goodbye, Commander Fuyuan."

"goodbye."

After closing the training room door, Shu Zao sent a message to Kasi to go out for dinner.

When the two of them returned, they happened to run into Fu Yuan, who was about to leave.

Shuzao: We don't usually run into each other, but we met twice today.

"What is Director Shuzao coming back for?" Fuyuan asked first.

How should I put it?

She told the other party that she didn't want to go out on missions, but she was still training.

That's a bit contradictory.

If I tell him I simply want to strengthen myself to protect myself, will he believe me?

"Commander Fuyuan, Instructor Shuzao trains with Kashi in the training room every night." Polan appeared from some creaking corner, and when his voice came out, he was standing to Fuyuan's right rear.

"Why?" Didn't you not want to level up?

"Never mind, come with me." Fu Yuan turned and walked towards the training room.

He can book training rooms very quickly; there are always rooms available whenever he wants, especially those reserved for SSS-level Sentinels.

"Shuzao, don't worry, Commander Fuyuan is on his own." Kasi nudged Shuzao, he was powerless to help her, and could only rely on her to pray for good fortune.

Shu Zao felt bone pain even before doing anything after closing the training room door.

After adjusting the training room for a while, Fu Yuan said to Shu Zao, "I've lowered my level to A-rank. Now, coordinate with your spiritual body to attack me."

He tested her skills.

"You can still downgrade?" Why didn't Kassi tell her that?

Fu Yuan was surprised that Shu Zao didn't even know this. How could she and Kasi train better then?

"Yes, make your move."

Shu Zao released Xi Yu, saying, "Good luck, you're getting free sparring."

It's quite reliable.

"Don't worry, I'm very serious during training."

happy Yu and Shu Zao attacked Fu Yuan, but after a few moves, she suddenly retreated.

"Too slow."

"Commander Fuyuan, are you really not going to release your spiritual form?"

She's getting serious.

"No need, just do your best."

"Absolutely."

Shu Zao's offensive changed, becoming extremely swift, and happy Yu was very good at cooperating.

At first, he was able to fight Fu Yuan to a standstill.

After half an hour,

With the fist about to touch his face, Shu Zao shouted, "I surrender!!!"

Good heavens, the opponent doesn't even need to use their spiritual body, and they're still at A-level, yet I can't even win.

For the past few months of training, she had always thought she was invincible among her peers.

Invincible my ass.

For the first ten minutes, they could barely manage a draw, but for the next twenty minutes, she managed to survive by dodging happy Yu's entanglements.

Shu was soaking wet, as if she had been in water. She doesn't sweat easily, so you can imagine how difficult those half hours were for her.

"His mental control is decent; he can easily handle A-rank opponents. His overall abilities in other areas are very strong among guides, especially in hand-to-hand combat."

But this is not advisable. Your opponent won't always give you the chance to get close. You are the leader; you must maximize your strengths as a leader.

He didn't know how much time she wasted on physical training. There was no need for her to be like a sentry; she was a guide.

"I understand. Thank you for taking the time to help me understand which direction I should train next."

"Director Shuzao, are you really unwilling to go out on missions?" He could make an exception for her.

"I don't want to."

"Okay, I respect your choice." He was just a little disappointed, as he valued talent.
