But what really made Lu Ye stay in Bengbu was another person who was similar to these two.

—Violet.

After hearing Leone's words, she clapped her hands and said, "That's amazing!"

"Excuse me, we don't need this. Please leave."

Lu Ye then gave them the order to leave.

"Hey, why is that?" Leone seemed surprised that someone would contradict her. "Big sister was just trying to help!"

"No need, we're just visiting relatives in the capital."

Lu Ye's attitude was very firm.

Leone seemed to realize that there was a tough one among these country folk, so he shrugged.

"Alright then, I'll be going now. But if you change your mind later, you can come find me in this area, okay?"

She quickly disappeared into the tavern.

Iyeas asked, puzzled, "Brother Luye, why did you drive that older sister away?"

Lu Ye sighed and began to patiently explain.

After some lecturing, Sha You quickly understood the meaning of "there's no such thing as a free lunch."

But Ieyas was still somewhat uneasy, after all, in his opinion, how could someone so beautiful lie?

Seeing him like this, Lu Ye thought it would be better to just let him be fooled and learn his lesson.

After dinner, it was already quite late, and there were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the street.

Lu Ye and his group were looking for relatively inexpensive accommodation near the pedestrian bridge.

After all, it's best to be frugal with money when you're not well-off.

Although I made some quick money today, who knows what will happen next?

"Sigh, we've already checked seven hotels, and the lowest price is 150 a night." Sha You sighed.

"Don't be discouraged, maybe we can join the army tomorrow?" Iyeas encouraged her.

However, this possibility is not high.

While looking for accommodation, Shayou also paid attention to news about the military.

Unfortunately, as Leone said before, there are too many people enlisting now, and it's one thing to not even get a form, let alone show off your skills to the officers.

"It's getting late, let's go to this place."

In the end, Lu Ye chose the hotel across the bridge that cost 150 a night, since Iyeas, carrying his luggage, looked quite tired.

As the group walked on the bridge, a red carriage slowly approached them.

Ieyas was immediately drawn to the exquisite carriage.

People who can ride in such carriages must be nobles, right?

Meanwhile, a corner of the carriage curtain was lifted, and a pair of blue eyes carefully examined Lu Ye and the others, revealing an expression of interest.

"Stop."

"You've come again, young lady?" asked the guard dressed in white.

"There's nothing I can do about it, that's just my personality."

Accompanied by the girl's clear voice, the carriage slowly stopped not far from Lu Ye and the others.

Chapter 166 A Kind-Hearted Family

Lu Ye and the others also stopped in their tracks.

After all, judging from the looks of it, the other party was clearly coming for them.

The carriage door opened, and the blonde girl got off the train.

She wore a light blue dress, had naturally curly blonde hair, and a beautiful face that could fascinate any man.

The girl walked straight up to Lu Ye and the others, and asked with a smile.

"If you don't have anywhere to stay, would you like to come to my house?"

Lu Ye was taken aback by the girl's direct statement.

Generally speaking, would someone bring a stranger from the street back to their home?

Yes, there are. Choose one: a pyramid scheme or a shady brick kiln?

“We…we don’t have any money,” Iyeas said suspiciously.

Sha You's eyes were also full of doubt.

It seems these two country folk have developed some awareness of how to avoid being scammed.

The girl's gaze swept over Violet for a moment, then she chuckled softly.

"If you had money, you wouldn't be wandering the streets in the middle of the night, would you?"

“Lady Arya is kind-hearted, but she just can’t bring herself to abandon people like you.” Two tall guards followed at this moment. “You should just accept it out of kindness.”

Miss?

Iyeas looked the girl up and down.

A pleasant, high-end perfume scent wafted from her nose, and her clothes and accessories also looked quite luxurious.

"She does indeed look like a young lady..."

"Maybe he's a good person?"

Such thoughts involuntarily popped into Iyeas's mind.

But Iyeas still turned his attention to Luye.

He and Sha You came from the countryside and knew nothing.

At this moment, the only person they could trust was Lu Ye.

“The nights in the capital are very dangerous.” The girl named Arya held up a finger. “You guys look like you have a lot of luggage. You might get robbed. These days, a lot of people are specifically targeting outsiders like you.”

"Can we really bother you?"

“No problem, Dad and Mom are both kind-hearted people.” Arya smiled.

"Only the master and madam could raise such a kind-hearted young lady," the guards remarked with a sigh.

"I see. Thank you very much. It's much better than sleeping in the open."

“Then it’s settled!” Arya seemed very happy.

Lu Ye wasn't trying to save money.

Whether this girl named Arya truly wanted to help others is another matter.

But since she is a young lady from a wealthy family, she must be able to find out more information about the capital.

This is very important to him.

……

Half an hour later, inside a luxury mansion located in the eastern district of the capital.

"Arya brought people back again?"

"Oh dear, it's become a habit. How many people is this now?"

"Mommy~"

Inside the warm, brightly lit hall, the homeowner was receiving visitors.

Sitting opposite the sofa was a portly man with a kind face.

Arya and her mother sat on the other side, both looking like they were cut from the same mold, both beauties.

This family of three looks very harmonious.

"Um, thank you so much."

Iyeas scratched his head, looking somewhat embarrassed.

Sha You also bowed slightly to express her gratitude.

Violet's attention was drawn to the pastries on the table.

However, Lu Ye's gaze was not on the family of three, but on the three guards behind them.

He was assessing his opponent's strength.

The danger rating of this world is B+.

Although Lu Ye felt that the reason for such a high rating was mostly due to the dangerous species, there were also quite a few strong humans.

For example, Esdeath, who is known as the strongest in the empire.

After observing for a while, Lu Ye looked away, feeling much more at ease.

Although these guards appeared meticulous and serious, they were actually quite lax.

When faced with outsiders, these guys didn't even bother to reach for their sword hilts, showing absolutely no readiness to handle any unexpected situation. In this respect, the Yotaka Clan under Isshin Ashina did a much better job.

In the days following the defeat of the Divine Dragon, Lu Ye and Isshin Ashina had a private conversation. At that time, the members of the Yotaka Clan behaved quite well, being wary of Lu Ye without showing it outwardly or being impolite.

The male homeowner put down his teacup.

"By the way, I heard you say before that you came to the capital to join the army, hoping to make a name for yourself in the military and then save your hometown village?"

“Yes, the village is too poor, and people die every year because of it, which is why we came to the capital,” Iyeas said.

“I see. But let me tell you, although the capital is peaceful now, the country is surrounded by foreign tribes on three sides,” the host said. “After you join the army, you might be sent to the border to fight those foreign tribes.”

"It's alright, we're already prepared!"

"Hehe, you've already come to your senses, haven't you? Young people should be like this." The host was very impressed with Ieyas's answer. "Alright, I'll go talk to your friends in the army. They should be able to exempt you from the forms and let you go directly into the military."

"Really?" Ieyas and Sayo clearly showed their excitement. "Thank you so much! But we have another friend who got separated from us, I wonder if we can..."
