As the first rays of morning sunlight spilled over Ye Yu's bedside, he woke up right on time. After five breaths, he did not rise as usual; instead, a faint smile lingered on his lips, whether foolish, blissful, or a mix of unexplainable emotions. In any case, the boy's heart was stirred at this moment, and a certain enchanting figure flashed repeatedly in his mind.
At that instant, Ye Yu felt that everything in the world was beautiful. However, after a brief moment, he sat up, palms facing upward, and began to practice his techniques. Yet, his thoughts remained unsettled for a while, resulting in less effective training. Still, he vaguely sensed that he might have touched upon a threshold. The breakthrough from Third Stage to Fourth Stage in physical techniques was a significant hurdle; even though Ye Yu continuously sensed that threshold, crossing it still required an opportunity.
However, with the peculiar evolution of the Lightness Technique, Ye Yu had gained an additional card for self-protection. This morning at ten o'clock, the official appointment ceremony for his position as squad leader would take place at the lord's mansion, followed by a simple celebration banquet in the afternoon. With that in mind, Ye Yu concluded his practice and got up to wash up.
The morning at Tangsun Lake was already slightly warm. The boy had excellent eyesight; however, at that moment, he did not see the figure he longed to see, which left him feeling a bit disappointed.
Ye Yu soon returned to the house arranged for him by Long Yin Yue. At that moment, he noticed a letter wedged in the crack of the door!
In this age of the Federation spanning thousands of years, paper correspondence had become rare; almost no one used such primitive means for communication anymore. Suddenly, Ye Yu thought of a possibility and felt a surge of joy as he vanished from sight in an instant! The next moment, the letter appeared in his hand.
The envelope bore no signature or return address. Ye Yu quickly opened it and found a line written on the paper: "Meeting is fate; I hope you can master Psychic Power to its fullest and meet at Emerald Pearl Lake when the opportunity arises!" The handwriting was vigorous and powerful; each stroke seemed to carry immense weight, exuding an aura of stability and authority.
To read someone's writing is to understand their character; thus, the person who wrote this was certainly not ordinary and definitely not someone Ye Yu had imagined. A fleeting image of an elderly figure crossed Ye Yu's mind—he recalled how that aged man had effortlessly defeated a state-of-the-art mech model 9. This thought added to his shock.
After a moment, Ye Yu snapped back from his reverie and gazed into the distance; subtle hints of unusual emotions flickered deep within his eyes. That place could be considered his hometown; however, he had never set foot there…
Subsequently, Ye Yu sought out Cautious to check the nearby surveillance system. He initially intended to find that elderly man who had once helped him; however, it seemed that the man had left quietly without a trace, which made Ye Yu feel somewhat guilty. Nevertheless, Cautious reviewed the nearby surveillance system and discovered that the letter had been delivered by a girl who appeared to be no older than ten. Ye Yu understood that she did not wish to reveal herself and decided to tuck this matter away in a corner of his mind.
At ten o'clock in the morning, Ye Yu arrived punctually at the lord's mansion. However, this time Long Yin Yue did not come out; instead, Long Ruofei stood at the entrance while Long Ling'er smiled at Ye Yu in her flowing white dress. To Ye Yu's surprise, Qin Guan was also present at that moment, looking at him with an enigmatic smile.
Ye Yu greeted the three of them before they all proceeded toward the reception hall together. There were only a few people inside the hall: aside from Long Yin Yue, there was also a middle-aged man in military uniform with silver hair and a stern face exuding an air of authority without anger. Two young officers stood straight behind him holding two black encrypted briefcases.
When the three of them entered, the silver-haired man was engaged in conversation with Long Yin Yue. Upon seeing the newcomers, both of them paused their discussion.
At that moment, Ye Yu suddenly felt a chill run through him, as if all his secrets had been laid bare. Although this sensation lasted only an instant, it left him feeling a shiver down his spine.
Ye Yu's Mental Power was exceptionally sharp, and just as that feeling dissipated, he immediately pinpointed its source: the silver officer. He disliked the sensation of being scrutinized, and when he glanced at the officer, his expression was far from friendly.
The silver officer sensed Ye Yu's gaze and his expression shifted slightly. However, at that moment, Long Yin Yue spoke up: "Captain Ye, this is the true leader of the Silver Dragon Guard, the First Military Commander An Yulin!"
The atmosphere became somewhat awkward at that moment, and after a brief pause, Ye Yu finally said, "I am honored to meet you, Commander!" Although Long Yin Yue was the highest authority in Silver Dragon Star, he couldn't oversee everything. An Yulin was indeed the true commander of the Silver Dragon Guard, and as a member of the Guard, Ye Yu naturally had to address him as Commander.
"Captain Ye is indeed talented for his age; Mr. Long has added another great asset to the Silver Dragon Guard!" An Yulin nodded at Ye Yu with a gentle tone, reminiscent of a university professor teaching cultural courses. It was hard to imagine that such a stern-looking man could speak so softly.
Ye Yu smiled slightly and replied to everyone, "I am merely fulfilling my duty as a citizen." Of course, this was just polite talk, but it held some truth. Since he could no longer live under his true identity in the Federation ten years ago, becoming a member of the Silver Dragon Guard was significant for Ye Yu—it represented recognition and belonging. He would naturally defend the interests of Silver Dragon Star at all costs!
"Alright, today's focus is still on Captain Ye. Let's have Mr. An present the official appointment letter to our squadron leader!"
Long Yin Yue then picked up an elegantly bound book with a brown cover edged in gold from nearby. The words "Silver Dragon Charter" were inscribed on it in an ancient style. He placed the Silver Dragon Charter on a wooden table about half a person’s height and gestured for An Yulin and Ye Yu to come over.
The two approached promptly, and An Yulin said to Ye Yu, "You will take an oath alongside me; what I vow, you will vow!"
Ye Yu nodded and instinctively straightened his clothes; it was impossible not to feel nervous at this moment. The previous captain's position had not been accompanied by such formal appointment procedures, but being a squadron leader meant commanding significant military power. Even Long Ruofei held only the rank of squadron leader; one could imagine how important this position was.
"I am Ye Yu; I now swear!"
"I am Ye Yu, and I now take my oath!"
"From this day forth, I will serve as the Captain of the Fourth Squad of the Silver Dragon Guard's Fifth Brigade. I vow to defend the Silver Dragon Charter, protect the Silver Dragon Star, and safeguard..."
