After being reborn, the villain comes with a spoiler tag.

As the three main figures at the center of the incident were taken away by the police, the onlookers, having nothing more to see, quickly dispersed.

Watching Murong Yu's departing figure, Long Yucheng recognized the person who had been bullied by Young Master Li and couldn't help but ask Lian Hu curiously:

"Wasn't that the guy you mentioned last time, the one who kept bothering your senior sister? I don't think your senior sister seems to dislike him that much."

"It's all because Senior Sister is a righteous person. No matter who is being pointed at with a sword by that spoiled brat today, Senior Sister will stand up for them."

Lian Hu said helplessly, but his eyes were full of heartfelt respect.

"Our line of work may not be as swift and decisive as those in the martial arts world, but we still adhere to the principles of 'chivalry' in our conduct. It is precisely because Senior Sister is upright and honest that everyone in the escort agency admires her, even though she is a woman."

When did she join the Dragon Tiger Escort Agency?

Huo Yu asked somewhat abruptly.

Lian Hu seemed slightly surprised by Huo Yu's initiative in asking the question, but he still answered it:

"My senior sister has had a difficult life since childhood. Her mother died young, and her father, who was also a bodyguard in the escort agency, met with misfortune during a mission. After that, she was adopted by the head manager and grew up in the Dragon Tiger Escort Agency. She is the true senior sister of our generation."

Whenever Murong Yu was mentioned, Lian Hu's words flowed like a river, never ceasing.

"Senior Sister has a very high reputation in the escort agency, which is an open secret. After the current manager steps down, Senior Sister will take over the reins. Both of the manager's sons are escorts in the agency, but they are both completely devoted to Senior Sister and have no objection to this consensus."

Upon hearing this, Huo Yu nodded slightly, and several of his guesses about Murong Yu's identity were crossed off.

This Murong Yu seems to be just a mortal who was accidentally noticed by the Heavenly Dao.

However, since stepping into Vermilion Bird City, everything Huo Yu has seen and heard has been tinged with strangeness.

Or rather, everything that happened around Long Yucheng revealed a hint of unnaturalness.

Whenever he needs information, someone will come to his door with it and tell him everything they know.

Just as he was racking his brains to see the Eighth Prince, someone volunteered to help him.

Huo Yu didn't know if this was also a sign of being favored by Heaven, but all signs indicated that there was an invisible giant net waiting for them to walk into it in the dark in this Vermilion Bird City.

Huo Yu doesn't mind getting involved, but he doesn't like having the initiative in someone else's hands.

……

As dusk fell, the sky was covered with a pale purple hue.

Huo Yu and Long Yucheng had just said goodbye to Lian Hu and returned to the inn when Su Yixuan arrived with good news.

The news she brought was naturally related to how to get the two of them into the palace.

At this point, Huo Yu was no longer surprised by any "coincidences" happening around Long Yucheng; he simply listened quietly to Su Yixuan's plan.

The daily operations of the palace are vast and complex, requiring a large number of service personnel to maintain its order and dignity. Eunuchs, palace maids, cooks, and guards are all indispensable roles.

However, it is quite difficult to place the first three people in, and their activities within the palace are strictly restricted. In addition, the rules and etiquette within the palace are extremely complicated. Huo Yu and Long Yucheng have not received professional training, so there is a high probability that they will be exposed.

However, there is a group of people who can move freely in most areas of the palace without having to interact much with others: the Golden Feather Guard.

The Golden Feather Guard was a personal guard in charge of the emperor's personal protection and entourage. Its main responsibilities included the emperor's safety and the security of the palace. Its duties included, but were not limited to, guarding the palace, escorting the emperor on his travels, and maintaining order in the capital.

Su Yixuan's plan was to have Huo Yu and Long Yucheng impersonate Golden Feather Guards and sneak into the palace during the shift change of the guards on duty.

Since the initial favorability rating from the "Charming Girl" aura is only fifty points, this amount of favorability is enough to make the Golden Feather Guard Commander fall in love with her at first sight, but it is not enough to make him become a love-struck fool who only has Su Yixuan in his heart and eyes, to the point that he would make a decision for her that violates his professional ethics and may even cost him his head.

To achieve this plan, she put a lot of effort into winning him over, frequently seeking opportunities to contact him, showing her affection openly and secretly, and using every trick in the book to enhance their relationship.

Finally, through her tireless efforts, she managed to raise the other party's favorability rating to 75 within three days.

The commander of the Golden Feather Guard reluctantly agreed, but before leaving, he still gave the commander many instructions:

"With the grand ceremony approaching, the palace's security has been increased several times recently. You must act with caution and refrain from any overstepping of boundaries."

After everything was ready, Su Yixuan came to find Huo Yu and Long Yucheng.

In the inn, Su Yixuan quickly finished explaining her plan—naturally emphasizing the effort she had put into it—glanced at Huo Yu and Long Yucheng, bit her lower lip lightly, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes, and softly reminded them:

"Tomorrow, don't speak to avoid giving anything away. I will find an opportunity to let you leave the patrol team and act alone."

Huo Yu nodded.

Long Yucheng seemed to already see 10,000 points beckoning to him, so he naturally agreed repeatedly.

[Target number one, Long Yucheng, has gained five points of favorability; current favorability is five.]

Upon hearing the notification that her favorability rating had increased, Su Yixuan forcibly suppressed her joy, fearing that chatting a little longer would cause the favorability rating to drop. She then took her leave after agreeing on a meeting time for the next day.

……

The next day, at 3:45 AM, as dawn broke, Huo Yu and Long Yucheng changed into the full uniforms of the Golden Feather Guard.

This uniform is predominantly deep black, with intricate and exquisite bird patterns embroidered in gold thread on the chest, back, shoulders, and sleeves.

The armor worn on their heads is an important symbol of the Golden Feather Guards' identity. The top of the helmet is decorated with golden vermilion bird patterns, and the body of the helmet is also outlined with exquisite flying bird patterns in gold thread, echoing the patterns on the uniform, making the whole look harmonious and unified.

In addition, the Golden Feather Guards were equipped with uniform swords, with slender blades, no decorations on the hilts, and blades as sharp as frost, clearly reflecting Huo Yu's eyes.

The uniforms of the Golden Feather Guards are all standard sizes. They fit Huo Yu perfectly, outlining his body lines while the special fabric ensures that the wearer can move freely.

Long Yucheng quickly changed his clothes and met up with Huo Yu. When he saw Huo Yu, his eyes lit up and his amazement was evident. Just as he was about to say a few words of praise, he was interrupted by a third person who suddenly appeared.

"It's still half an hour before the palace guards change shifts, we..."

Su Yixuan, who used an invisibility spell to fly directly to the second floor of the inn, stopped talking abruptly when she saw the two of them, as if she had forgotten what she was going to say.

Even though she had been to two worlds and seen countless handsome men, Su Yixuan's gaze couldn't help but linger a little longer on Huo Yu and Long Yucheng.

Then, he silently expressed his admiration for the system:

No matter which world you're in, uniforms are still the most flattering!
