The ceremony for Captain Ye Yu's appointment was simple yet solemn. After the oath was completed, An Yulin personally registered Ye Yu's official promotion. An Yulin's aide carried a suitcase containing Ye Yu's upgraded equipment, which prominently featured a finely crafted Phase Gun—the same weapon that Long Yin Yue had previously provided to both Ye Yu and Qin Guan. Another secure case held a reward for Ye Yu: a Silver Dragon Card representing the highest monetary limit, enough to allow an ordinary person to live a life of luxury without worry.
According to Long Yin Yue's decree, Ye Yu had not only assisted the lord's mansion in capturing Withered Source Star but had also decisively defeated the Wavebreaker Legion's ambush. However, Ye Yu had requested that this victory not be widely publicized. This was one reason why the appointment ceremony was kept so understated; after all, Ye Yu was aware that some individuals did not wish to see him alive.
That evening, the lord's mansion hosted a modest ball in honor of Ye Yu. There were not many attendees since Ye Yu hardly knew anyone. Of course, his third team members were present as well; they had played significant roles in defeating the Wavebreaker Legion. Liu Yao was directly appointed as the captain of the third team, as her overall combat capability and achievements had long qualified her for the position. However, due to Ye Yu's circumstances, Liu Yao had served as his assistant for a brief period.
The Silver Dragon Star maintained the philosophy of the Age of Exploration: those who contributed must be rewarded generously. Thanks to Ye Yu's efforts, his team received considerable rewards as well.
The celebration felt more like a family gathering with only a dozen attendees. After the designated time arrived, everyone gathered in the banquet hall of the lord's mansion. The atmosphere was relaxed, with a buffet spread and soft music playing in the dance area. Glasses clinked together as smiles adorned everyone's faces.
At that moment, Ye Yu felt a sudden twitch in his eyelid, and his eyes widened in surprise. In the center of the dance floor, a young couple was gracefully dancing together, their movements light and elegant. This striking pair captured everyone's attention—it was none other than Long Ruofei and Qin Guan!
Ye Yu was taken aback, but just then, he sensed a faint fragrance wafting towards him. A delicate arm, as smooth as white jade, reached out before him. A pair of budding blossoms subtly revealed themselves beneath her gown, which was a soft green evening dress that accentuated her beauty like a work of art—flawless and captivating.
"Captain Ye, would you care to dance with me?" The newcomer’s enchanting eyes sparkled like stars as she gazed at Ye Yu. Her lips parted gently, and her voice flowed like a babbling brook in the forest—refreshing and soothing. A blend of allure and innocence radiated from her, captivating all who beheld her.
Ye Yu found himself agreeing without knowing how it happened; he was soon led by Long Ling'er onto the dance floor. They danced gracefully together, embodying the essence of forest spirits—light and free-spirited—infusing the entire banquet with an enchanting atmosphere.
...
The banquet concluded in less than two hours, and guests began to depart one by one. Long Yin Yue, who had been conversing with An Yulin throughout the event, approached Ye Yu after seeing off the military officer.
"Captain Ye," she said calmly, "please come to my office later; I need to discuss something with you." With that, Long Yin Yue turned and left without waiting for a response, disappearing through the door before Ye Yu even realized it.
Ye Yu felt a tightness in his chest. Just moments ago, he had been lost in the sweetness of intimacy with his beloved, completely overlooking Long Yin Yue's presence. Now that Long Yin Yue was calling him to the office, did it mean she had some issues with him?
"Go on, don't delay the important matters," Long Ling'er gently shook Ye Yu's arm, her gesture affectionate and natural.
Ye Yu nodded, feeling a bit embarrassed as he scratched the back of his head. "Are we still going to Tangsun Lake tonight?"
Long Ling'er didn't respond verbally; instead, a faint blush suddenly appeared on her face. She lightly rose on her toes and placed a gentle kiss on Ye Yu's cheek before turning to leave. "I'm tired and need to rest."
Ye Yu stood there, grinning foolishly for a moment before turning to leave. However, those present were all taken aback by the scene they had just witnessed, their expressions varying in shock.
Of course, Ye Yu was too preoccupied to care about others' feelings. In an instant, his figure blurred and vanished like a ghost. This was the ability he had gained after the mutation of his Lightness Technique, making his form extremely difficult to capture.
As Ye Yu arrived at Long Yin Yue's office, he caught a whiff of a faint fragrance—the scent of Premium Green Tea. Curiosity stirred within him; what exactly did Long Yin Yue want?
"Captain Ye, please have a seat!" Long Yin Yue gestured for him to sit at the wooden table in her office. Most of the furniture in her office was made of wood, filling the room with a subtle aroma that brought a sense of calm.
Ye Yu walked over steadily. At the same time, Long Yin Yue poured some green tea and handed it to him, inviting him to drink. To ease the awkward atmosphere, Ye Yu instinctively took a sip of the tea. The three parts bitterness mixed with seven parts sweetness stimulated his taste buds and sense of smell, eventually transforming into a warm sensation that permeated through his limbs. The feeling of being completely refreshed made Ye Yu involuntarily let out a soft sigh; it was a sensation he only experienced during breakthroughs in his cultivation.
"I called you here because I want you to complete a new mission," Long Yin Yue said lightly after taking a sip of her tea.
Though her voice was soft, it struck Ye Yu like thunder, instantly pulling him back from that ethereal feeling into reality.
"Um, may I ask what instructions you have for me?" Coming back to himself, Ye Yu quickly steadied his mind and asked earnestly.
Long Yin Yue's lips curled into a slight smile as she nodded almost imperceptibly and said, "Do you know what the responsibilities of the Fourth Squad are?"
"To defend our territory and repel enemies!" Ye Yu replied, looking at Long Yin Yue with a hint of surprise and confusion in his eyes.
"Of course, but the Fourth Squad also has a team that carries out secret missions. Previously, it was led by Fei, but now that she is overseeing the situation at Withered Source Star, this team will be directly led by you!" Long Yin Yue said calmly, as if it were just an ordinary matter.
"So what you mean, sir, is that my new mission is to lead this team?" Ye Yu, being a perceptive person, quickly grasped Long Yin Yue's intention and recognized her support for him.
Long Yin Yue nodded and said, "To eradicate the roots along with the weeds. This time, the Riptide Pirate Group is at its weakest. I need you to eliminate their core members!"
