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

"Which strand of hair is uneven?"

Yuan Li's voice was strained, almost escaping through her teeth: "Qi."

She's quite skillful with her hands, and she's also very good with a knife.

"Why are you taking my hair?"

"Let's go back, wash it, and turn it into a decoration for you. We should head out now."

Hearing her say that, Yuanli felt a little better.

"By the way, after you go out this door, no matter what anyone asks you, don't answer casually."

Why?

"You are too valuable. We don't do business for free; doing it for free is a loss."

"Okay." I don't know how long I slept, and many things have probably changed.

She's my personal mentor, and I can't let her ruin me.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Shuzao, and I'm your personal mentor. I'm 21 years old."

"My name is Yuanli, and I am—"

"Tell me your age when you were sealed away."

"24 years old."

Shu Zao's eyes widened like saucers: "!!!"

He was put on hold at the age of 24, his abilities are absolutely amazing, what a phenomenal stock!

What are you wiping?

"It's nothing, just think of it as hand cream."

They walked toward the door.

"What kind of test did the central city give you?" Before entering here, you need to undergo an ability assessment.

"No test required, just come in."

Yuanli: "..."

The door opened, and Mingye stood in the doorway.

"Commander Yuanli, it is now year XXX. You have been asleep for over two thousand years. Welcome to awaken."

He waited for ten minutes but she didn't come out. Suspecting that she was deliberately stalling for time, he went to his office to handle official business.

He didn't return to the door to wait until the worker in charge of sealing the sentry's assets reported to him that Yuanli's assets had been transferred to Shuzao's account.

Yuanli, the first Sentinel, worked too hard in her past life.

These all match.

Shu Zao took the initiative to act as the introducer: "Yuan Li, this is Speaker Ming Ye. He's the one who brought me here to see you."

Mingye: "......"

Yuanli: Is the current speaker really that unreliable?

"I wonder if Commander Yuanli has some time? I'd like to have a chat with you."

"Chairman Meino, you'll have to ask her about that."

The place where Shu was standing a second ago wasn't that close to Mingye; it was Yuanli who mentioned this place to her.

With a "whoosh," his foot landed on the ground.

"I don't have time, I'm too busy," Shu Zao said with a grin.

Mingye didn't say much about it, "Alright, whatever Director Shuzao wants to know, we'll just exchange the two of us."

"Yes, yes, definitely." Shu Zao extended her hand, and Ming Ye glanced at it. Only after confirming there were no problems did he shake her hand.

Both sides had their own agendas.

Mingye: I hope she won't be so angry that she can't sleep these next few days.

Shuzao: Uncle, you better not try to fool me, or you'll regret it.

After bidding farewell to Mingye, Shuzao took Yuanli to the Ida Kenop White Tower.

"My personal sentries are there. Let's go find them and then return to the White Tower where I am."

"Hmm, why didn't you stay in the city center?"

Shu swallowed hard before replying, "You want to stay?"

"No, what are you eating?"

"Do you think I'm just eating candy? Are you a walking encyclopedia of questions?"

"No." The voice carried a hint of melancholy.

Shuzao: Is he talking so much because he hasn't had anyone to talk to in a long time? Let Ethers talk to him then.

"Hmm," Shu Zao interrupted Yuan Li, who was 'secretly grieving,' "I'll tell you my rules, and you can choose for yourself..."

"I choose the mental link." He only disliked her when he woke up; he never thought of abandoning her.

What type of house do you want?

"It's spacious, and there are lots of flowers and plants..." Yuanli's mouth was like a typewriter, it just wouldn't stop.

And then he added, "How much?"

"Not many, and they're difficult to raise."

Shu opened the account early, and the smile on her face became much more genuine. Yuan Li's 'contribution' was very significant, so this 'small' request could still be met.

A change in attitude can happen in an instant.

Shu Zao opened Yuan Li's information and suppressed her smile: "Your family... well, may they rest in peace. My condolences."

No wonder you have so many assets; it turns out that the entire family's assets are all in your name.

Small and medium-sized families might covet the assets of the sealed-off sentinels, but wouldn't dare to, while large families wouldn't bother fighting the sealed-off sentinels for a few assets.

"There's nothing to be sad about, I don't even know them."

So much time has passed, the family is still there, but everything has changed.

Ida Kenop White Tower.

"Boyou is my personal sentinel, how could you be so shameless as to seduce him in public?" Ban Gula angrily scolded Xian Yue'an.

"I didn't seduce him." She hadn't even touched him; he was a friend of Tiris and Peletta.

He happened to be returning from a mission when they ran into each other. The three of them exchanged only a few words before the female guide rushed up and started yelling at him.

"Don't just randomly pick a tour guide and start insulting her. I didn't even exchange a glance with her the whole time."

"Didn't we agree that I'd give you 90% of the Star Coins I earn each time, and that we'd pretend we don't know each other when we meet normally?"

He really wanted to kill Bangra and end it all.

The sentry following Pangula noticed that Boyou's eyes were strange and stood in front of Pangula.

He was pushed away by Ban Gula after standing there for less than two seconds and was also scolded.

"Don't block me, Boyou. If you were in another white tower, it would be one thing, but we're in the same one. And you're flirting with other guides right in front of me—"

"That's enough. If you hadn't tampered with things, I would have gone to another White Tower long ago. I told you the day we were matched, I'm disgusted by you."

Pangula started hanging out before he was an adult, and had more than a dozen Sentinel partners before he was even matched.

No sentry in the entire White Tower wanted to match with her, even though she was one of only five special guides in the White Tower.

She truly doesn't value the lives of the Sentinels. Don't be fooled by the fact that she currently only has about twenty Sentinel companions; several batches of them have already died.

Otherwise, it would have been over a hundred.

She needed "fresh sentinels," so she went to other White Towers and "tricked" a few back.

The outside world generally had more bad than good opinions about guides. When a special guide looks at you, how many sentries can resist?

"Boyou, this is fate, you have to accept it. My patience has its limits."

He's been keeping her in check for two years. If it weren't for his good strength and good looks, she would have had the other sentries kill him long ago.

Bo You: "Get lost."

Pangula wiped his face and walked towards Xian Yue'an.

"Apologize." Unexpectedly, Xian Yue An spoke first.

Tiris and the others protected Crescent Moon, their eyes fixed on Pangula.

"As a C-level guide, without a special guide status, you don't even have the right to speak to me."

The White Pagoda has already spread the word about Xian Yue An and Shu Zao's "background" these past two days.

They provoked Wan Tong.

Who is Wan Tong? She is the special guide of the White Tower.

"Are you deaf? I'm telling you to apologize to me."

In that instant, Mo Shu saw the shadow of Shu Zao in Yue An.

His personal mentor has grown and become more capable.

"Teach her a lesson. The sentries need not be spared." Bangula stepped back a few paces, gesturing for his sentries to come forward.

Fu Yuan and the others had been walking together, and seeing that a fight was about to break out, they quickly stepped forward to protect Xian Yue An.

"Let's see who dares to lay a hand on me! Do you know who my sister is? — Shu Zao. If she comes back and sees me beaten, she'll definitely kill you all."

There are too many enemy sentries, and I don't know how many of them are SSS-rank. I can't fight them.

We'll have to wait for Shu to come back.

"Heh, I'm almost SSS-rank, she's only A-rank. Go for it, I'll take responsibility for the consequences." Pangula nonchalantly played with his hair.

Her rarity is unlike theirs. Even Wan Tong has to treat her with utmost respect. There are also many sentinels from prominent families among her exclusive sentinels, so they are not afraid at all.

The central city will handle the aftermath for her.

"Let's go help them. My kind haven't returned yet," Kirito said to her sentry from a short distance away.

"Duoduo, Ban Gula holds grudges; you'll be targeted by her."

"I've disliked her for a long time, and now I have an excuse. I'll give them a good beating later."

The time for revenge has come.

"Bangula, kill me, but don't drag them into this." Bo You didn't want to live anymore. His family wasn't poor, but Bangula could overpower them with sheer numbers, and there was no way to stop him.

"No, no, no, the rules have changed. I'm in control now. Kill them all!"

"Oh." Qiliduo's appearance remained the same, but she changed her shoes to a pair of white leather shoes.

"Who do you want to kill?" a voice came from not far away.
