"Don't."

When Tang Yunqing made a move, Ye Luyao immediately reached out to stop him.

Feeling the resistance on his right hand, Tang Yunqing glanced at him dissatisfiedly, but he did not reject it and did not move rashly. He just stared at the handsome young man with his eyes.

While the handsome young man was talking to Ye Luyao, the security guard left wisely.

After that, he and Ye Luyao chatted in front of Tang Yunqing for more than two minutes, and finally stopped when Tang Yunqing almost exhausted all his patience.

"Sir, let's sit down and talk, okay?"

After the handsome young man finished talking to Ye Luyao, he turned to look at Tang Yunqing and gave him a respectful smile.

After hearing this, Tang Yunqing pursed his lips and said nothing, looking straight at Ye Luyao on the left.

Ye Luyao understood what he meant, so he explained loudly, "He is the Hidden Dragon Guard. The Sea Dragon Guard and the Hidden Dragon Guard come from the same origin. Both are human races affected by the dragon blood, but the difference is that the former is commanded by the clan elders, the latter receives direct orders from my father's personal guards, so they can be trusted."

After listening to Ye Luyao's words, Tang Yunqing was slightly relieved, but he still did not relax his vigilance. Because of the civil strife in the Hailong clan, even the fourth city lord who respected the Hailong Emperor the most could rebel, let alone a hidden dragon that even the Hailong Emperor had never seen?

“Why did he appear here?” Tang Yunqing asked.

“He came to Wanshui City many years ago. Like many other Hidden Dragon Guards in the city, his mission objective was to investigate and find the remains of the Sea Dragon Clan in the jurisdiction of Wanshui City.”

When Tang Yunqing heard this, he couldn’t help but glance at the handsome young man, thinking that the so-called Hailong clan remains were the Dragon Court left behind during the great calamity. Tang Yunqing frowned and said, “How many more Hidden Dragon Guards are there in this city? Can you confirm their loyalty? I don’t know what you’re thinking, but I don’t believe him. If we accidentally meet a Hidden Dragon Guard, we might also meet a Sea Dragon Guard.”

Tang Yunqing’s question made Ye Luyao hesitate a little.

It was true that he couldn’t confirm the loyalty of the Hidden Dragon Guard, and just like Tang Yunqing, he didn’t want to trust a stranger, even if he was a Hidden Dragon Guard, but the dilemma faced by the Sea Dragon Emperor bothered him all the time. Making him want to take any risk he could get.

The handsome young man 'Bai Zeyan' was ordered to investigate the ruins of the Hailong clan. After a few years, he should know a lot of information about Longting, and maybe he can help them find Longting. But what if he also rebels? Not only did he reveal the important secrets of the Hailong clan, but he also put himself and Tang Yunqing in danger, so Ye Luyao couldn't help but hesitate.

While he was struggling in his heart, Tang Yunqing turned and left. Because Ye Luyao would be petrified twenty meters away from Tang Yunging, Ye Luyao had to catch up with him. Bai Zeyan hurriedly followed the two of them.

Seeing Bai Zeyan also leave the tavern and follow Ye Luyao, Tang Yunqing frowned, turned and walked towards him, saying in a calm tone, "You'd better stay away from us."

Bai Zeyan was indifferent when he heard the words, and his eyes were always on Ye Luyao.

Seeing that his words had no effect, Tang Yunqing also turned his gaze to Ye Luyao. He was stared at by two eyes. He was already a little annoyed and became even more anxious, then turned to Bai Zeyan and said, "I will contact you again when I need your help. You can go first."

"I apologize for not being able to obey my orders."

Ye Luyao was very surprised by Bai Zeyan's answer. He never expected that Bai Zeyan would dare to refuse his orders, the princess of the Sea Dragon Tribe. Although Tang Yunqing could not understand the Sea Dragon language, he could guess something by observing the words, a flash of vigilance flashed in his eyes.

Ye Luyao's face immediately became gloomy, and he stared coldly into Bai Zeyan's eyes and said, "Why, since my father is trapped now, you don't even dare to listen to what I say to the princess? Do you want to rebel?"

"I dare not! Please forgive me, Princess!"

Before Ye Luyao could finish speaking, Bai Zeyan showed a frightened expression, knelt on the ground, and said in a trembling voice, "I am only worried about the safety of Her Highness the Princess!"

“He will protect my safety.” Ye Luyao glanced at Tang Yunqing and said to Bai Zeyan.

“Then I can be your shield, Your Highness, Princess.”

“I don’t need it.”

“Even if you don’t need it, I still have to do it.” Bai Zeyan raised his head and insisted.

“Go, this is an order!” Ye Luyao frowned.

“The Hidden Dragon Guards only obey the orders of their immediate superiors and the Dragon Emperor. Since the beginning of our training, we have been given an order, that is, if we meet you on land in the future, we must protect you with our lives!” Bai Zeyan said.

“Why didn’t I know about this?”

Ye Luyao was quite surprised, and then confused, why did her father give them such a strange order? Could it be that he had already thought of letting her land? If this was the case, it made sense that the Hidden Dragon Guards had been instilled with that order since the beginning of their training, as that was indeed her father’s style.

While thinking in her heart, Ye Luyao turned her gaze away from Bai Zeyan’s resolute and death-defying face, looked at Tang Yunqing, and said helplessly, “He refused to leave,” she recounted to him their conversation in Hailong language earlier.

After Tang Yunqing heard this, he was not moved. Instead, he ignored Ye Luyao's obstruction and directly called out his code. He opened the third page with a 'jingle', summoned the whip of error and threw it towards Bai Zeyan

With a 'pop' sound, revealing a threatening Killing intent.

His actions shocked Ye Luyao, and also attracted the attention of passersby. When Bai Zeyan knelt on the ground earlier, he had attracted some onlookers. Now Tang Yunqing showed off his talent in coding, making the place crowded. Not only did they watch the excitement, but they were afraid that something would happen so they were on alert in advance and waited for the official law enforcement officers to arrive.

When Tang Yunqing threatened him with the whip by mistake, Bai Zeyan did not even frown. Instead, he looked straight at him and said, "Even if you kill me, my soul will protect the princess."

His words were calm, but they made Tang Yunqing feel dizzy and helpless.

He could threaten Bai Zeyan, but he couldn't kill him just because he wanted to protect Ye Luyao, right? The two of them had no grudges in the past and no grudges recently, something that Tang Yunqing could not do. He was afraid that Bai Zeyan had betrayed him, but he had no evidence. But if Bai Zeyan really wanted to follow them, it would be a big hidden danger, and Tang Yunqing couldn't help but feel a little depressed.

Seeing the increasing number of onlookers around him, Tang Yunqing gritted his teeth, put away the Whip of Mistakes and Codes, and quickly left with Ye Luyao and Bai Zeyan.

He was afraid that it would attract the attention of Hailongwei.

Half an hour later, the three of them came to a restaurant across the river from the City Lord's Mansion and sat down. As soon as they sat down, Tang Yunqing looked at Bai Zeyan seriously and said, "We really don't need your help."

"Yes, the princess is in danger now, and I will use my life to protect her," Bai Zeyan said.

"..."

Tang Yunqing turned his head and looked at Ye Luyao, he didn't know what to say. After thinking about it, he decided to forget it. After all, Yinlongwei was also a direct subordinate of the Hailong Emperor and he should really be of help to them.

As for his threatening nature? The reason why Tang Yunqing came across the river from the City Lord's Mansion was because he planned to call someone if he encountered danger.

What should I do if I go out of town? Tang Yunqing needed some time to think.

"Okay, then, you can first tell us about your investigation in Wanshui City over the years."

Bai Zeyan did not answer after hearing this, but turned to Ye Luyao.

Ye Luyao said, "Listen to him and answer whatever he asks."

After hearing Ye Luyao's words, Bai Zeyan immediately looked back at Tang Yunqing and said, "What do you want to know?"

"I want to know everything." Tang Yunqing didn't want to reveal too much. His distrust of Bai Zeyan was almost written on his face. However, Bai Zeyan was not angry and told Tang Yunqing and Ye Luyao about the recent events. His investigation in Wanshui City was done last year. When it comes to the ruins of the Sea Dragon Clan, it must have something to do with water.

"At the end of April three years ago, an old adventurer was fishing in the Grand Lake and caught a dragonfish."

"Two years ago, in mid-July, someone saw a bright moon rise from the wine lake."

"A year ago in mid-August, someone saw ice and fire rise from Mirror Lake."

"In January of this year, a dragon's roar was heard from Po Lake."

One after another rumors related to water, dragons, and certain special creatures were learned by the two of them, which gave them a strong desire to explore. However, the dangers inside and outside Wanshui City were as high as heaven and earth. Only the highest level six Sea Dragon Guard in the city could threaten them, and in the dotted lakes outside the city, there might even be an eighth level water tribe, which was not a powerful creature they could resist at all.

Furthermore, if they wanted to go out of the city to explore, what would Bai Zeyan do?

Bring him with you? Neither Tang Yunqing nor Ye Luyao believed it. Not bringing him? But he was like a dog skin plaster that couldn't be removed.

Tang Yunqing sat opposite Bai Zeyan, listening to his oral legends, and his thoughts gradually diverged.

At night.

The three of them checked into a hotel just a few hundred meters away from the city lord's palace. A few minutes after checking into the room, Tang Yunqing entered Ye Luyao's room and said to him, "I don't believe him, so what he said about the rumors, we need time to confirm it."

"I think so too."

"If it's confirmed, let's knock him out and tie him up." Tang Yunqing suggested.

"Okay."

"Okay! Beat him up and I'll tie him up," Tang Yunqing said.

"Okay."

Poor Bai Zeyan didn't know at this time that his tragic fate had been determined by Tang Yunqing and Ye Luyao.

The next morning, Tang Yunqing and Ye Luyao knocked on Bai Zeyan's door. The moment he opened the door, Ye Luyao slashed Bai Zeyan's neck with a knife. After being hit by Ye Luyao, Bai Zeyan immediately fell into a coma. Tang Yunqing took out the rope provided by Ye Luyao and tied Bai Zeyan to a chair.

After settling this matter, the two of them went out leisurely, ready to verify the information Bai Zeyan had said.
