Ye Yu was taken aback, clearly caught off guard. He hadn't expected Qin Guan to refuse him outright without asking anything.
"I am Long Ling'er’s bodyguard, not your subordinate," Qin Guan explained after taking his first sip of soy milk.
"So I'm asking for your help; the decision is yours," Ye Yu said, fully aware that the other party had already reached the Fifth Stage in combat power. His stellar-level Mental Power was not something to be taken lightly.
"Any request that doesn't discuss compensation is just playing tricks," Qin Guan said while enjoying the food in front of him.
Ye Yu glanced at Qin Guan and said helplessly, "But you need to hear me out first before considering compensation." At that moment, Ye Yu felt extremely frustrated; after all, this wasn't a marketplace where one could haggle endlessly.
"No need. I'm currently employed by Sister Long; you can talk to her," Qin Guan replied with his usual carefree demeanor, but at that moment, he was surprisingly serious, which made Ye Yu feel a bit uncomfortable.
"Ling'er, this..." Ye Yu could only look at Long Ling'er and speak up.
"Brother Yu, just tell me what you need; Ling'er will do her best!" Long Ling'er said, making a fist gesture as if cheering herself on.
Ye Yu nodded and explained the situation regarding the Lost Secret Realm, then looked at the two of them, waiting for their response.
"No way!" Long Ling'er rejected immediately without any hesitation. "It's too dangerous; I don't want Brother Yu to go."
"Ling'er, this is just a training exercise for the academy. I might also gain the opportunities I'm looking for," Ye Yu understood Long Ling'er's concern for his safety, but he couldn't back down just because it was dangerous.
"I know about that Lost Secret Realm. The climate and environment inside are extremely unpredictable. With Brother Yu's current strength, it would still be somewhat dangerous," Long Ling'er suddenly changed her tone and smiled at Ye Yu. "Of course, if Brother Yu is willing to take me along, then it would be no problem."
"No way!" The two male voices echoed simultaneously from the living room, belonging to Ye Yu and Qin Guan.
"Why not? Ling'er is at least a second-tier martial artist, one level higher than Brother Yu!" Long Ling'er said, her beautiful eyes sparkling. "Besides, I plan to join the military in the future. This experience could be beneficial for my career."
"What if you encounter danger?" Ye Yu asked, still uneasy despite knowing that Long Ling'er had reached second-tier strength.
"That's just a possibility. You can't always be by my side to protect me. I need to become stronger on my own," Long Ling'er replied, her eyes filled with determination.
"Let Ling'er go; it's fine," Jin Shan suddenly interjected, his tone leaving no room for doubt.
"How is it fine?" Qin Guan questioned, as Long Linger's safety advisor, he had every right to voice his concerns.
"Because she is Long Yin Yue's daughter!" Jin Shan said, smacking his lips as if savoring the thought before turning to refill his bowl.
As the saying goes, concern breeds chaos. After Jin Shan's statement, Ye Yu quickly grasped its implications. Jin Shan's words carried two meanings: first, as Long Yin Yue's daughter, Long Ling'er was certainly not someone who would hold back; she had the ability to venture into the Lost Secret Realm. Second, coming from a noble family in Silver Dragon Star, her special status meant that personnel from the First Military Academy would undoubtedly provide her with covert protection in the Lost Secret Realm. Based on these two points, Long Ling'er was indeed the best candidate to enter the Lost Secret Realm.
"Alright, I agree. But Ling'er, you must stay by my side and listen to me at all times!" Ye Yu said. Having emerged from a world of iron and blood, he understood that only through sufficient experience could anyone truly grow strong—even Long Yin Yue's daughter was no exception.
"Ling'er will definitely stay by Brother Yu's side and will be obedient!" Long Ling'er exclaimed joyfully upon hearing Ye Yu's agreement. Her delicate face lit up with happiness, and even her eating seemed to carry a cheerful rhythm.
"Oh, by the way, Ling'er, how come you just finished your exam yesterday and are already here on Home Planet today?" Ye Yu asked. He knew that even traveling through the Multidimensional Space-Time Tunnel would usually take several days for Long Ling'er to reach Federation Homeworld; he was surprised she had arrived so quickly.
"My father was worried that I might take too long on the journey and encounter danger, so he had my aunt pilot the family's sub-light-speed spaceship to bring me here. Naturally, it was much faster," Long Ling'er explained. "Of course, it was also to give Brother Yu a surprise; I wanted to see you as soon as possible."
Ye Yu, upon hearing this, gently patted Long Ling'er on the head, feeling that there was more to the situation than met the eye, but he couldn't quite grasp what it was.
The days spent with Beloved were always enchanting. Aside from practicing Mental Power and martial arts every morning, Ye Yu took Long Ling'er to explore the unique sights of the Federation. Naturally, there were places they could not approach due to Long Ling'er's special status, such as the Federal Congress Building, which symbolized the highest power of the Federation.
However, given Long Ling'er's temperament, she was more inclined to appreciate the beauty of nature or enjoy amusement parks. There was an old saying in the Federation: for those in love, every place is a scenic spot. For this couple who had only reunited after more than half a year, every moment together was sweet enough to make others envious.
Sweet moments always seemed to pass quickly, and soon it was time for everyone to set off as planned. The Lost Secret Realm was located in the southern hemisphere of Home Planet, and the best means of transportation was a suborbital spacecraft, which would take less than half an hour to reach.
At that moment, Ye Yu and his companions gathered at the Aviation Port in Derlin District, ready to depart. This was the first time Ye Yu had seen them in half a month, and he noticed that everyone had made some progress. After taking Potential Gene Medicine, Chen Tang's Mental Power had surprisingly broken through to Planetary Level Intermediate.
As for Wang Jiu, his combat strength remained average, but his spatial Ability had improved. Previously, his Ability space could only hold a few Phase Guns; now it had expanded to eight cubic meters, allowing him to carry a significant amount of gear. They had stored their firearms for exploring the secret realm in his Ability space.
Xia Chiu's water-based Ability did not show significant growth; however, her martial arts finally broke through to Level Two combat strength.
Nasha had originally been at Level Four in martial arts but had now astonishingly become a master at Fifth Stage. She still regretted that her Ability had not been activated; otherwise, she would have been an even greater force.
Ye Yu felt somewhat helpless about his own situation; after taking Potential Gene Medicine, he found it utterly useless. However, he wouldn't let this negative emotion spread among his companions.
"Everyone has made progress; our mission this time will surely yield results!" Ye Yu gathered his emotions and encouraged everyone. "Let's go!"
