Lu Lu Wo was nervous when she was taken away by the guards of the Warrior Country.

When Lu Lu Wo was received by Prince Lan Le and reached a cooperation agreement with him, she was completely out of her mind.

It wasn't until she was being well taken care of and received her first request from Lan Le that Lu Lu Wo finally came to her senses.

"Our experiences over the past few days have been quite amazing."

Ta Mi exclaimed from the bottom of her heart, "At first I thought we were going to be executed."

"Don't say such unlucky things." Lu Lu Wo lightly chopped the top of his head with a chop to the head, then looked at the crowd and said:

"Although I'm not entirely sure why, this prince clearly values our abilities. Since he's entrusted us with this investigation, let's do a good job."

She clenched her fist and raised it upwards, a customary gesture to boost morale, and shouted with fervor:

"Let our legend remain in this country!"

In the past, once this phrase was shouted out, everyone would excitedly shout it back.

However, this time...

"Yay!" Ta Mi pumped his fist in excitement, but then he noticed a sudden silence behind him. He turned around to look.

Whether it was Bei Er Tuo, Mi La, or anyone else, they all looked like they had eaten and drunk their fill and their lives were perfect, patting their bellies and lounging on the rather high-end sofa in the guest room.

"."

It seems that because the people Lan Le ordered to take care of them too comfortably these past few days, they have become completely useless, and their lives have become visibly lazy and inactive in just a few days.

Lu Lu Wo was furious.

"Hey, get up right now! How dare you call yourselves Strategy Team looking like this? You're making adventurers look bad!"

"Knock knock knock".

Just as her reprimand was about to escalate into a shout, there was a sudden knock on the door. In her anger, she snapped, "Who is it? Come in!"

Like a kitten that hisses at strangers after getting angry.

"Then I'll come in."

A somewhat familiar old man's voice came from outside the door, and he pushed the door open and entered.

It looks so familiar, but I can't remember whose it is. Which old man do we know?

Upon seeing the newcomer's true face, Lu Lu Wo, which was almost reaching the Tengen Toppa, instantly turned into a timid and cowardly expression, and she timidly called out:

"Greetings, Sword Saint!"

The newcomer was none other than the Sword Saint Gapar.

Lu Lu Wo dared not breathe on him anymore, because the person in front of her could actually be hung up with a data cable and whipped.

The moment Jia Paer stepped into the room, a terrifying feeling of being watched by Great One caused everyone to stand up abruptly, bowing and greeting him respectfully and even cautiously.

"Don't be so reserved when you see me, just relax."

Jia Paer has become increasingly amiable and kind these days. Perhaps it's because he has avenged his great grudge, but the sharp edge he once possessed, which could hurt anyone who gets close, has also diminished considerably.

"Besides, didn't I tell you? No need to call me 'sir.' Just call me 'teacher,' like Leon does. After all, I've taught you a couple of moves."

"Then we probably won't dare," Lu Lu Wo thought to herself.

The Skyrim Strategy Team had met Leon and the Sword Saint Gapar before. They were at least acquainted, if not familiar with each other. Based on that alone, it's really not appropriate to call the other party "teacher".

The name originated from an invasion.

Even Leon would occasionally infiltrate or camp spirits to relax, let alone Lu Lu Wo, except she's a bit unlucky and often infiltrates some strange creatures.

This includes, but is not limited to, the Mysterious Hooded Man, the mysterious Dark Moon Blade, the low-key expert team wandering the dungeon, and Jia Paer.

God knows why this supposedly retired old guy would sneak off to the Zane Dungeon!

Lu Lu Wo has encountered all sorts of good things.

After being spun around like a top by Jia Paer a few times, Lu Lu Wo had completely lost her spirit and almost gave up on the entertainment of invading. Perhaps even Jia Paer herself couldn't stand it anymore, so she gave her some pointers during one of her invading attempts.

Later, it evolved into Lu Lu Wo "shamelessly" asking Jia Paer for advice on the questions from the entire Strategy Team. Before long, it became a situation where, although Ta Mi and the others had never met Jia Paer in person, they received a lot of guidance and favors, and they owed him quite a lot of favors.

"Teacher Jia Paer, what brings you here?" Lu Lu Wo asked, looking like an honest child.

"I'm organizing the country's Weapon Skill. Some things always need to be done by capable people," Jia Paer said calmly, while also praising himself.

Great, his personality is still the same Jia Paer as before, that hasn't changed at all.

"Wow, that sounds amazing." Ta Mi's eyes lit up as if she had met her idol.

"But why did you suddenly decide to look for us?"

In response to Lu Lu Wo's question, Jia Paer smiled and said, "With the commotion you've caused, it's hard not to notice you."

These words left the other person speechless, and they could only lower their head and blush.

"However, I do have something to discuss with you."

He sat down on the sofa, Ta Mi ran ahead of Lu Lu Wo to make hot water and tea. She was incredibly attentive to him, after all, he had benefited greatly from her teachings.

"Have you heard about the War Festival next month?" Jia Paer took a sip of tea, about to say something, but then noticed the puzzled looks on everyone's faces, so he explained:

"To put it simply, there will be many complicated and troublesome things happening during that festival, but no matter what, the final decision will be made by fists at the festival. Unfortunately, I will also be involved in those troublesome things."

He didn't beat around the bush and said directly:

"My daughter You Fei and I agreed to a match, each sending our best students to fight. We hadn't decided when to hold the match until now, but we're taking advantage of the War Festival to hold it together. However, I'm still short-handed, so..."

He looked at Lu Lu Wo, then at Ta Mi, who was clearly happy just standing next to him, and said:

"Are you two actually interested in calling me 'teacher'?"

The surprise came so suddenly; such things are truly rare and precious.

Upon hearing this, there was no need for further consideration; the two immediately gave their answers.

"Teacher!" Two loud voices rang out immediately.

Even Ta Mi learned the life lesson of striking when the time is right from Lu Lu Wo, and the two of them immediately called out "Teacher" at the same time.

Everyone else looked on with envy and joy, and Bei Er Tuo led the applause.

"Clap clap clap clap—"

"Very good," Jia Paer said with a smile, stroking his beard. "I will talk to Lan Le and ask him to assign you fewer missions. You can come and find me when you have free time. I happen to be collecting Weapon Skill around Black Rock City these days."

"Yes!" x2

After seeing Jia Paer off, Ta Mi and Lu Lu Wo exchanged a glance and finally couldn't hold back any longer, bursting into laughter.

What just happened feels like a dream. They were chosen as disciples by the Sword Saint? This is probably the most outlandish daydream ever!

"Ta Mi, I've recently mastered a few moves that I haven't fully mastered yet. Do you want to try them?" Mi La hooked her arm around Ta Mi's shoulder and leaned in close.

"Captain, could we use this as a selling point for our strategy guide? Could we add another title to our business cards?" Bei Er Tuo had already taken out a pen and paper.

"Don't be in such a hurry, calm down."

After everyone celebrated for a while, Lu Lu Wo waved her hand, telling everyone to calm down for the time being.

"I know that everyone is excited about Teacher Jia Paer's arrival, but Prince Lan Le's matter certainly cannot be delayed. Right now, we still need to show some real achievements to prove our strength and value, otherwise we will lose this hard-won opportunity as a prince."

Lu Lu Wo quickly calmed down when faced with important matters, weighed the priorities of each task, and came to a conclusion.

"The most urgent task is to gather information about Caelid. If we ask the prince, he should be able to—"

Before she could finish speaking, there was another knock on the door.

"What's wrong, teacher? Did you forget something?" Lu Lu Wo ran over and opened the door.

However, standing outside the door was a spirited young woman with flowing white hair, looking at her strangely and saying, "Teacher?"

Lu Lu Wo stared blankly at the white-haired girl, blinked, and suddenly exclaimed, "You Fei!"

"You know me?" You Fei laughed. "So I'm that famous?"

I only know you because of Jia Paer, don't underestimate my intelligence network.

But her intuition told Lu Lu Wo that she absolutely couldn't give that reason, so she stepped aside to let You Fei in and, without any excessive pleasantries, asked directly, "Why would the Sword Saint's daughter come to see us?"

We just met the Sword Saint and now his Saintess has appeared. We've met so many famous people today that everyone's feeling a bit unsettled.

You Fei witnessed this scene and praised, "You weren't excited when you saw me. Your manners are indeed as good as Lan Le described."

"You know His Highness?"

Lu Lu Wo asked, thinking to herself: Why does it seem like this guy didn't meet with Teacher Jia Paer? Did they miss each other just now?

She remembered the rumors that the Sword Saint and his Saintess didn't get along, but not long ago there were rumors that the two were adventuring together in the Zane Dungeon, and their relationship seemed to be quite good. It was really hard to understand what was going on.

"We've known each other for a long time, and I only came to see you this time because of him."

You Fei noticed the empty cup of tea on the table and felt strange, but she continued, "He asked me to assist you. If you are going to Caelid, I will go with you and my companions, but I think we should ask for your opinion on this matter."

So they were the prince's helpers.

Lu Lu Wo a sigh of relief for no apparent reason. After exchanging brief glances with her companions, she replied, "Of course, we couldn't be happier."

"That's great. I thought adventurers would refuse outsiders from interfering in their teams."

You Fei looked Lu Lu Wo over generously, nodded, and then glanced at the others around her, also satisfied.

"What are you doing...?" Lu Lu Wo suddenly felt a bad premonition.

"Have you heard about the War Festival next month?" You Fei asked.

"Sounds so familiar!" Everyone nodded; they had already heard it from Jia Paer.

"Simply put, there will be a lot of people fighting each other there. I also happen to have a match with my dad there, but we're still a bit short of players."

Hearing this, everyone realized that something was wrong.

You Fei extended a sincere invitation to the Skyrim Strategy Team.

"Want to join me in the competition? There's a chance to beat the legendary Sword Saint, and the rewards are excellent. I can get you anything you can think of."

A moment later, she tilted her head.

Why aren't you saying anything?

"Wait, why are you guys trying not to laugh?"
