Along the way, Ye Li also found that Dongfang Caiyi only behaved normally in front of him, and when he met others, he would change back to his previous indifferent appearance.

In this regard, Ye Li was secretly excited for a long time, and it was obvious that the other party's feelings towards him were completely different from others.

The two walked all the way for nearly half a month, and finally came to the edge of the East China Sea.

Ye Li saw the sea for the first time, and when the sea appeared in front of him, it really shocked him for a long time.

The never-ending rolling waves in the sea, no matter how you look at it, you can't see the edge on the opposite side, and occasionally you can see huge fish emerging in the distant sea, which really makes Ye Li amazed.

But on the other hand, Dongfang Caiyi's performance is more ordinary, and it is obvious that she has seen all this, so she didn't have much reaction.

After Ye Li stopped for a while, he rushed towards the imperial guard camp not far away with Dongfang Caiyi.

Soon they came to a high mountain not far from the sea, and this was the place where the Imperial Guard camp was mentioned on the map.

The two of them stood outside the mountain and looked towards the mountain, Ye Li was surprised to find that the entire mountain seemed to have been hollowed out and became a huge fortress, and countless people went in and out of the mountain, and it was obvious that there was a hole inside.

The appearance of the two immediately aroused the vigilance of the guards at the door, and they immediately looked at the two with stern eyes.

The first thing they saw was Ye Li who was walking in front, Ye Li was wearing a black shirt in the Imperial City, and after several guards saw it, they were much less hostile.

At the very least, Ye Li's identity is from Emperor City, so it is normal to come here, and there must be something going on.

When they took a large number of leaves from the oriental colored clothes behind them, everyone's faces were shocked.

Dongfang Caiyi has recovered her previous cold expression at this time, and her identity, as long as she is a person from the Imperial City, there is almost nothing she doesn't know.

Several guards were also on duty in the Imperial City in the past, and they were later transferred here, so they naturally knew the Dongfang Caiyi behind Ye Li.

One of the guards immediately turned around and ran into the interior of the mountain, thinking that he was going to inform someone, while several other guards hurriedly walked over and saluted the Dongfang Caiyi with a respectful face.

"I've seen the princess. ”

Dongfang Caiyi has the status of a princess in the Imperial City, so the general guards and subordinates call her a princess, and the disciples can call her a senior sister or senior sister.

As for Ye Li, because he had known Dongfang Caiyi before entering the Imperial City, it was normal for him to habitually shout Dongfang Girl.

Dongfang Caiyi heard the greeting of the guards, but nodded coldly and didn't say anything.

It seemed that her attitude was the same as before, but Ye Li could still see a trace of agility from the depths of her eyes, and she was no longer as absolutely cold as before.

Ye Li greeted the guards very politely, and then informed the other party of his intentions, and said, "Brother Guards, I came here to join the Imperial Guard, and I have letters of recommendation from Elder Qi and Elder Xue. ”

Hearing Ye Li's words, several guards were slightly stunned and said, "You were personally recommended by Elder Qi and Elder Xue?"

Ye Li nodded, he knew that ordinary people who joined the Imperial Praetorian Guard did not need to be recommended by the elders of the inner court, they were all guaranteed by the elders of the outer court.

The Imperial Praetorian Guard is the real elite cultivated by the Imperial City, and everyone here is an existence that the Imperial City absolutely trusts, so everyone has an elder behind them to vouch.

If Ye Li was personally recommended by Elder Qi and Elder Xue, then the guarantors behind him were Qi Wei and Xue Ziping, and this background relationship was really a bit hard.

Several of the guards didn't know Ye Li either, but seeing that he was wearing the black shirt of a ground-level disciple, they naturally thought that he was a child of a certain family in the Imperial City, and their faces also showed a respectful expression.

While speaking, suddenly a white-haired old man rushed out of the mountain, and the moment he saw Dongfang Caiyi, his face was first happy, and then he seemed to be a little angry and said: "Caiyi, why are you here, Tianyao has gone to retreat and ignore you again?"

Qi Wei and Mei Ruoxiang, the two of them are not optimistic about you, how can you let yourself come here!"

Dongfang Caiyi heard the old man's voice, his face softened a little, and then he said: "Grandpa Bing, I have been away from the Imperial City for a long time, and I decided to come here temporarily, they don't know." ”

Dongfang Caiyi can explain such a long sentence, which shows that the relationship between her and the old man in front of her is also very close.

The old man surnamed Bing blew his beard and said, "Good girl, why don't I inform Qi Wei and let someone pick you up?"

Dongfang Caiyi shook his head and said, "No, Grandpa Bing, I want to join the Imperial Praetorian Guard and train and perform tasks with the women's team." ”

When the old man surnamed Bing heard this, he said loudly: "No, this is just nonsense, the Imperial Praetorian Guard is not a place to play, and the tasks they perform are also dangerous, how can I let you take risks."

If something happens to you, I don't need Qi Wei and them to do it, I have to strangle myself to death. ”

Ye Li listened to the side, but he could feel the old man's heartfelt love for Dongfang Caiyi.

Dongfang Caiyi didn't speak, but her cold eyes kept looking at the old man.

After the old man was looked at by her for a while, cold sweat began to break out on his forehead, and a look of struggle appeared on his face.

"Good girl, don't come to mess around with Grandpa Bing, okay, I definitely have to tell Qi Wei and Mei Ruoxiang about your coming here, they will send someone to find you as soon as they know about it, and you still can't stay long."

Grandpa Bing doesn't mind if you're here as a guest and have fun for a while, but you don't want to mention training and missions. ”

The old man's tone felt like he was begging for mercy.

Dongfang Caiyi shook his head and said, "I won't leave when they come, I have to follow the training and carry out the mission, otherwise I will find a way to go to sea by myself." ”

Her words sounded like she was threatening the old man surnamed Bing, and suddenly the expression on the old man's face changed again and again.

The old man clearly understands Dongfang Caiyi's temper, not that she is willful, in fact, it is just because she doesn't want to be protected like a child by the people of the Imperial City.

She also has her own pursuits and ideas, but she has been cared for too hard all the year round, which has aroused her rebellion.

Knowing that Dongfang Caiyi can do what he says, if he really asks Qi Wei and Mei Ruoxiang to send someone to take Dongfang Caiyi away, Dongfang Caiyi will not only hate him, but also find a way to go to sea by himself.

It is impossible for Qi Wei and Mei Ruoxiang to imprison her like a prisoner, so it is definitely unrealistic to forcibly drive Dongfang Caiyi back.
