Hearing Qi Wei's words, Ye Li and the other elders were stunned.
"Old Qi, what do you mean? Ye Li is already an Earth-level disciple, so it won't be difficult for him to be promoted to Heaven-level. Why do you want him to join the Imperial Guard?"
Mei Ruoxiang questioned.
Ye Li himself also felt a little puzzled. He didn't know why Qi Wei asked him to join the Imperial Guard.
Qi Wei smiled and said, "With Ye Li's current strength, there is not much he can learn in the training academy, and it would be a waste of time to stay there any longer.
I think his talent would have more room for development if he had joined the Imperial Guard.
In the Imperial Guard, as long as he can climb to the top, he can also become a deacon or elder in the future, or even an inner court elder like us. Don’t forget that Zi Ping is from the Imperial Guard.”
Hearing Qi Wei's words, Ye Li couldn't help but be a little surprised. He turned his head to look at Xue Ziping. He didn't expect that Xue Ziping was actually a member of the Emperor's Royal Guard.
Xue Ziping smiled and nodded, saying: "That's right, Ye Li, I also think that the Imperial Guards will be more conducive to your development, so I recommended you to Brother Qi. What do you think? Do you want to join the Imperial Guards
There, you will receive better combat training. Although it will definitely be a lot harder and more dangerous than here, the rewards will definitely be greater.
With your talent, I believe that you will be able to climb to the top of the Imperial Guard soon, where strength speaks for itself and is more suitable for you than the monastery."
Hearing Xue Ziping's words, Ye Li was stunned again. He didn't expect that this proposal was made by Xue Ziping.
Ye Li thought about it. Although he didn't know much about the Imperial Guard, he believed Xue Ziping would not harm him, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I'm willing to join the Imperial Guard."
Hearing Ye Li's words, Xue Ziping and Qi Wei both smiled.
Qi Wei said: "Ye Li, the enlistment period for the Emperor's Guards is stipulated to be more than three years.
Three years is the basic time. After that, you can choose to leave freely, but you must stay there within three years, and you don’t even have many opportunities to come back to the Imperial City.
In addition, during these three years, you cannot return to your family, and everything must be done according to the rules of the Imperial City."
When Ye Li learned the news, a look of embarrassment appeared on his face.
He is now the family's strongest fighter. If he is not allowed to return to the family, what should the family do if they encounter a crisis similar to the last invasion by the Tan Tai family
Xue Ziping seemed to have anticipated Ye Li's concerns and said, "Ye Li, don't worry about your family. I will have someone keep an eye on it for you. For some small matters, someone will naturally come forward to help.
You are now an elite disciple in the sect, so it is normal for your family to take care of you."
Hearing Xue Ziping's words, Ye Li was immediately delighted.
If Emperor City could help him look after his family, it would be more useful than if he looked after it himself.
After all, when he was taking care of the family himself, he had to fight when he encountered danger, and he might not be able to win.
But when the Emperor City comes to help him look after it, he doesn't have to take any action if someone invades. Relying on the reputation of the Emperor City, there are really not many people who dare to provoke the Ye family.
With the protection of the Imperial City, the future development of the Ye family will surely be smooth and stable.
Thinking of this, he naturally did not hesitate at all. He nodded, said thank you, and decided to join the Imperial Guard.
Qi Wei said: "Okay, Ye Li, after you go down, take a few days to rest, and then we will arrange for you to report to the Emperor's Guards."
After Qi Wei finished speaking, he dismissed the five people.
Qi Hai was accompanying Ye Li all the way to the outer city, and the expression on his face was not very good.
"Ye Li, I never thought that the elders would want you to develop in the Imperial Guard.
In this way, the strength of my outside disciples in the training academy will be weakened."
Qi Haizheng started to speak.
Ye Li reacted as well after hearing this, frowning and saying, "Yes, if I leave like this, I wonder if Yue Meng and the others will attack the outside disciples again."
Qi Haizheng thought for a moment and said, “To be honest, from a long-term perspective, your joining the Imperial Guard will be of great benefit to the status of foreign disciples.
After all, the Imperial Guards are the core fighting force in the Imperial City, and being able to become a high-ranking official there means that one has enormous power.
Moreover, the officers in the Imperial Guard also correspond to some positions in the sect, ranging from reserve deacons to inner court elders.
In other words, if you become an officer of the same rank as a deacon in the army, then your position in the sect will automatically become that of a deacon."
Hearing Qi Haizheng's words, Ye Li was slightly stunned and said, "So, doesn't it seem like I don't even need to become a Heavenly Level disciple first to have the possibility of becoming a high-ranking member of the sect?"
Qi Haizheng nodded and said, "Of course, after all, not everyone can join the Emperor's Guards.
To join the Imperial Guard, your background will be examined. Your situation is special, and your identity should have been approved when the elders recommended you, so you will definitely be able to join.
Once you get there, as long as you can demonstrate your abilities, keep getting promoted, and make enough military achievements, your position will naturally move up.
To be honest, people with real strength and ability are more likely to become high-ranking members of a sect in the Imperial Guards than in the sect itself."
Qi Haizheng and Ye Li walked to the inner city gate together. After some analysis and thinking, Qi Haizheng said: "Ye Li, there is nothing we can do in the current situation. We can only hope that after you take the first place in the holy war this time, those native disciples can change their views on the outside disciples and restrain themselves a little."
Hearing his words, Ye Li could only nod helplessly. After all, once he went to the Imperial Guard, he would be out of reach of the training academy.
After the two of them stood at the gate of the inner city and chatted for a while, Ye Li and Qi Haizheng said goodbye to each other and walked back to the west courtyard accommodation area.
All the way back to the accommodation area, before he could enter the house, Mu Tianzhi and Huang Jian had already led a large group of foreign disciples towards Ye Li.
They had already received the news and knew that Ye Li had won first place in the Holy War and returned to the sect.
All the outside disciples were shocked that Ye Li could get the title of first in the Holy War, but at the same time they were extremely surprised.
The higher the honor Ye Li gets in the sect, the more it improves the overall status of their outside disciples.
After the news of Ye Li's victory came back, they had already felt that the other disciples' eyes had changed a little when they looked at them, the outsiders. At least the hostility had been reduced by a lot.
