Blue Water Garrison Manor was, in truth, just a Bamboo Lodge, without even a guard in sight.
Lu Ye flew over while asking for directions. He had no other business—he simply wanted to bid Ziying farewell.
This Garrison Lord had helped him quite a bit before. Since he was leaving, he ought to let her know.
Before the Bamboo Lodge, Ziying was tending to some flowers and plants. Lu Ye was briefly stunned at the sight. This Garrison Lord possessed a commanding heroic air, yet he had not expected her to have such refined tastes.
"Preparing to leave?" Ziying did not even turn around. Clearly, she had seen through Lu Ye's intentions.
Lu Ye cupped his fists. "My lady sees clearly. I wish to obtain more Dao Bones for cultivation and advance to Dao Integration as soon as possible. There should be no fighting around Blue Water for the time being, so I wish to take a look at other war zones."
"You hold no post, so you are naturally free to come and go."
Alliance Guards came in two types. One type held official posts, such as the Order Official beside Ziying and the guard troops of Azure Water War Star itself. They were fixed combat forces stationed at Blue Water, receiving Battle Merit every month whether war came or not.
The other type consisted of free agents like Lu Ye. Whichever war zone they entered, they were nominally required to heed that war zone's Garrison Lord. Of course, if no orders were issued, they could act freely.
Most Alliance Guards belonged to the latter category, roaming among the various war zones as they pleased.
Ziying straightened up and turned to look at Lu Ye. "But if you want to hunt Dao Bones, wait a few days before leaving."
