It's not only the higher-ups who think that way. The guards also no one wanted to go to the northern region. When the butler met the guards, no one was willing to go forward.
However, the butler did not care about them. He only chose guards with the most outstanding talent. To him, Ling deserved a guard like that.
After those guards were chosen, those who were chosen gave a grim expression. However, since they were directly chosen by the butler, they did not dare to protest.
"Let the codet take our chance this time. He went to the north, right?" said someone grunting.
"Fifth brother, how is Zhan Yu?" ask the guy.
The fifth brother shook his head, "I never contacted him."
"Huh" the man sighed and said nothing more.
The others don't talk either. When alluding about Zhan Yu, the atmosphere changed somewhat. However, as the codet passed by them, Zhan Gu smiled mockingly at him.
"They are .... Boss what should we do now? Do we really have to go to that damn place? Do we have to endure being constantly ridiculed by those numbered people?" the codet's subordinates are provoked by emotion.
The codet glanced at the fifth brother and smiled cynically, "Go to that barren territory? Do you want to die now? Just hang. I'll look for Young Master Yushen."
He also stepped away.

Bo Yushen Residence.
After hearing the codet's plea, Bo Yushen chuckled, "Smart kid. You know looking for me at times like this."
The codet smiled politely, "I will definitely be loyal to you, Young Master."
"good. I'll talk to the first elder. He must still have a sense of disdain for me," said Bo Yushen casually.
"Thank you, Young Master Yushen!" the codet's face was excited upon hearing Bo Yushen's reply.
"How did it go, Boss? Is Young Master willing to help us?" ask the rest of the team waiting outside.
However, looking at the expression of the excited codet, they instantly knew the result. This time they succeeded.

"You're saying you don't want to go north?" ask the butler. He immediately went to the guards after receiving the latest news.
Although his gaze was a bit scary, but the codet did not want to give up. It risks his future. He ventured, "Right, butler."
"Okay" the butler nodded. This was Bo Yushen. He did not want to fight him because he was afraid that Bo Yushen would be hostile towards Ling.
He chose another guard, "Who is willing to follow Young Master Chen?"
All the guards were silent. In the distance, Bo Yushen heaved a sigh of relief.
"Head maid, Zhan Yu is Young Master Chen's subordinate. He was once the fifth captain's subordinate. Shouldn't their team be the ones to leave?" said the codet. The others agree with him. They knew that the codet was Bo Yushen's subordinate. So, they didn't mind following his words.
The expressions of Zhan Gu and the others were instantly grim.
"What do you think? Are you willing to go?" ask the butler. He immediately remembered Zhan Yu. However, he did not explain anything to the fifth Captain.
"Head maid, we agree," replied Zhan Gu.
His team members also did not object to his decision. After all, Bo Yushen was the person in charge in the Bo Family right now. The codet has a grudge with them and he is Bo Yushen's subordinate. Even if they don't go to the north, the codet will target them in other ways.
The good thing they were thinking about now was that they would at least meet Zhan Yu.
"Alright, I'll drop you off tomorrow," said the butler sighing in relief. Then he left.
Meanwhile, the fifth captain's team was still standing there. The new member who had just entered a few days ago, sighed and said, "I think I will have a good future due to entering your guard team. I didn't think it was even sent to the barren territory. Damn it!"
The fifth captain glanced at him and replied in a serious tone, "Now we are the subordinates of Young Master Chen. If anyone doesn't want to come, you can stay."
Two new members left the team.
The codet gave a mocking look at them and said, "If you're willing to beg me, maybe I can beg Young Master Yushen to save you guys."
The fifth captain simply glanced at him and snorted. He turned to his headquarters and packed his things in preparation for the move.
Everyone knew the conflict between Ling and Bo Yushen. Moreover, lately Bo Yushen looks increasingly powerful in the Bo Family. No one wants to go to the north. Let alone going, they did not even want to take the departure of the fifth captain's team.
When Zhan Gu was about to finish packing his goods, he sent a message to Zhan Yu.
Zhan Gu looked very excited. Especially when he saw the jet parked outside, his eyes sparkled. The second brother felt increasingly desperate. He said, "Zhan Gu, how can you still smile at a time like this?"
"Why not? Yes, even though those people do not want to take us away. It's been a waste of us all these years here" replied Zhan Gu.
The second brother again sighed, "Actually, it's understandable. If we hadn't gone north, they would still have taken us. However, since this is his decision, they don't want any more contact with us."

The next day arrived.
Zhan Yu had received a message from Zhan Gu if his brothers would come today.
The Bo family is on an island. Other than ships, they could only use private jets to travel from the island. However, since Zhan Gu and the others were only a guard, the private jet only stopped at the pier. They are not respected people like butlers. So, they had to walk even further to reach the center of the northern region.
Zhan Yu and Bo Jie came to pick them up and greet them at the pier.
They had not met for a long time, so they were chatting more now. Bo Jie also chatted with the fifth Captain.
"So .. There's no guard driving you?" ask Bo Jie.
Zhan Gu wore a flat expression, "I see Young Master Yushen's guards have the support of the higher-ups in the Bo Family. So, when we left today, no one was driving us."
Although they were not high-status guards, but their status was not low either. However, the higher-ups of the Bo Family were not concerned with quality and only obeyed orders from superiors.
"Yes, that's good. Otherwise, Young Master Chen still has to ensure your loyalty. If this is the case, it's good that you're no longer involved with the Bo Family" Zhan Yu smiled.
"How dare you talk like that. Tell me, are you the spy that the codet put on our team?" said Zhan Gu waving his hand wanting to pat Zhan Yu.
However, Zhan Yu's reflexes were extremely fast. He managed to avoid Zhan Gu's punch. He has been practicing reflexes lately. For some reason, the people around Ling often hit him, including Ling himself. Now he knows there is progress. Although he could not avoid Ling and the others, he could at least avoid Zhan Gu.
"What's? Zhan Yu, did you manage to break through again?" Zhan Gu looked at his palm in disbelief. He is the strongest on their team. How could Zhan Yu avoid his punch so easily?
Zhan Yu touched his back neck and just smiled, but he did not say anything. This made Zhan Gu and the others think that it was just a coincidence.
"Zhan Yu, what do you mean Young Master Chen will check our loyalty?" ask Zhan Gu.
"That .. when the butler told Young Master Chen if he was going to send a team of guards, the Young Master rejected him raw. However, when I found out it was your team, I begged Young Master to accept you here," Zhan Yu replied with a warm smile.
His smile made the team members want to hit him.
"However, the center of this northern region looks crowded. Brother, look at the jets parked there. According to my estimation, the quality of the jet is 2 or 3 times higher than that of our family private jet. Manager, do you know whose jet it is?" the third brother was very interested in things like machinery, mechanics, and technology. So, when looking at the many jets with high technology, his eyes sparkled and his face was bright.
Bo Jie did not reply and simply smiled at the third brother.
After they chatted for a few minutes, the fifth Captain's guard team started boarding the jet with Zhan Yu and Bo Jie. Their expressions returned grim.
"We're going to the center of the north, right?" ask the lethargic third brother.
Zhan Hu wiped his face and looked from outside the window. Although the region looked prosperous, magnificent buildings also began to awaken, and an aura of glory radiated from the region, but he remained doubtful, "It seems .. right ...."
When they arrived, they got off the jet. Zhan Yu looked at his brothers and smiled, "Welcome to the Thousand Dharma City. Everyone who enters the city must have this."
He took the bottles out of his pocket and handed them to the fifth captain. The fifth captain accepted it and felt shocked once again.

Ling met Lord Shangxuan who was still staying at the residence prepared by General Qiu. The two of them sat facing each other with a teapot on the table.
Yuan, Liam, and the others were also here. Liam wants to get closer to Mr. Shangxuan. However, they did not enter and just waited in the outer courtyard.
"Have you considered it?" ask Mr. Shangxuan. He poured a cup of tea and looked very dignified.
Ling picked up his cup and stared at his fingers. He replied, "Hm ... a year, right? Sir, wait a few more days until I solve all my problems."
There are still a lot of things Ling has to solve abroad.
The Thousand Dharma City had not yet awakened. Leaving now was not a good option, but if he were to leave, it could make Yuan and the others even more advanced. Lately, they have relied too much on it.
Ling didn't want that to happen.
After he died, the Island of Invisible Names not only grew, but they could also dominate and intimidate other forces. Therefore, Ling hoped that this year the Thousand Dharma City could develop rapidly.
Ling lowered his head. Master Shangxuan could not see his expression.
