On the second day, Lin Ye appeared early in the morning at the Professional Plaza in Shan City.

With the end of the college entrance examinations, many of this year's new Professionals have concluded their high school lives. Whether they entered the universities they desired or not, they have already become true Professionals.

As for those who, after the college entrance examinations, have not yet reached the Level 10 threshold, it is basically certain they won't go far on the path of being a Professional.

The plaza was bustling, with various Professional Guilds making great efforts to recruit newcomers.

A guild is a self-organized group of Professionals. Except for managing local cities directly, members of guilds have considerable freedom.

Sometimes, when official forces are insufficient, guild forces are recruited to participate in settlement defense missions.

When guilds can't receive city defense missions, they accept private commissions and make money by trading goods between settlements.

After all, the cost of the Teleportation Array is too high, and it's rarely used for goods transportation except in emergencies or for a few expensive items.

At this time, guild forces can play their role.

However, Lin Ye was not particularly interested in participating in a guild because once he joins, he would enjoy the benefits provided by the guild and thus would be obliged to fulfill his duties and participate in some guild activities.

And Lin Ye clearly was not willing to get involved in such things.

But he actually came today to find a guild.

Last night, Li Fei contacted him, saying a guild wanted to invite Lin Ye to help them pass the guild rating examination.

Originally, Lin Ye planned to refuse this kind of request outright.

However, after learning that the guild inviting him was the Iron Blade Guild, where Li Fei's friend Huo Ting is, he agreed.

The relic Lin Ye obtained in the graveyard of the demolished church at the old Shan City site was condensed by a senior of the Huo family.

The Iron Blade Guild was founded and continues by the Huo family, who moved from Old Shantou City to the new Shan City site. It's an old powerhouse in Shan City.

As for Huo Ting, Lin Ye has some impression.

She was one of the people who challenged 'Stratholme' with him back then and was appointed as team leader by Lin Ye for her excellent performance.

Under Lin Ye's leadership, that group received the title of 'Holy Light Knight,' and almost all were absorbed into the 'Holy Light Legion' of the Alliance Army.

Huo Ting was among the few who didn't choose to join the 'Holy Light Legion,' as she preferred to stay in her family's guild and learn guild management to take over in the future.

It was Huo Ting who found Li Fei and expressed the wish to invite Lin Ye to help pass the Secret Realm challenge.

Considering his connection with the senior of the Huo family, Lin Ye agreed.

After all, one could say Lin Ye blew up their ancestral grave.

Moreover, the price offered by the Iron Blade Guild to help was indeed tempting to Lin Ye, so he agreed.

Lin Ye strolled slightly in the plaza and found the location of the Iron Blade Guild.

These guilds generally have their fixed stalls in the plaza.

They are used to accept mission commissions and serve as recruitment points for new members, akin to a small office.

But this time, the Iron Blade's stall was crowded with not only well-equipped, imposing Professionals.

The surrounding pedestrians were all surprised...

"Isn't that Iron Blade's Chairman Huo Hongyuan?"

"A Level 60, Peak of Second Transition Professional!"

"This recruiting presence is too grand, even the Chairman is mobilized."

"No, it seems Iron Blade has paused accepting new member applications today."

"Huh? Then what are they doing?"

"I don't know, it seems like they're preparing for something very important."

The people around were discussing this unusual move of Iron Blade, full of speculation.

Just at this moment, a figure made its way through the crowd and approached Iron Blade's stall.

"Sorry, we are not accepting membership applications today."

An Iron Blade Guild staff member blocked Lin Ye before him.

Seeing this, Lin Ye took off his mask and said, "It's me, I'm here to see your chairman!"

The person opposite him was slightly stunned, looked at Lin Ye's face, and blurted out, "Lin... Lin Ye the Great?"

The name of Lin Ye was well-known throughout Shan City.

As for his appearance, it was no secret.

Anyone with a slight interest in current affairs wouldn't fail to recognize Lin Ye's appearance.

There were even interest-takers who could recite Lin Ye's address and biography backwards and forwards.

Upon hearing the surprised words of the Iron Blade staff member, the people around erupted.

"Lin Ye the Great? Ah! Where?"

"Really? He's Lin Ye?"

"Wow, it really is him! I've seen the real thing!"

In an instant, people gathered around.

But soon, Iron Blade members formed a human wall, blocking these onlookers from disturbing Lin Ye.

"Truly, hearing is not as good as seeing, so young yet a hero!"

A tall man came over, letting out a hearty laugh.

His eyes brightened completely upon seeing Lin Ye.

"Hello Chairman Huo!" Lin Ye nodded slightly.

This was Iron Blade's chairman, Huo Hongyuan!

Next to him was his only daughter, Huo Ting.

As for the others, they were likely the senior members of the Iron Blade Guild, a dozen or so people, demonstrating their importance to Lin Ye.

"Boss!" Huo Ting called out shyly.

This was a title used only by those who had followed Lin Ye through Secret Realm battles!

Many even took pride in this title.

Members of the Iron Blade Guild had somewhat peculiar expressions upon seeing Huo Ting now...

It was their first time seeing their young lady behave this way.

At that moment, they couldn't help but hold Lin Ye in higher regard.

Only Huo Hongyuan gave his daughter a resigned look.

He wished Huo Ting could really develop some relationship with Lin Ye...

But he knew very well that this was impossible.

Lin Ye paid no attention to Huo Ting's unusual behavior, directly following Huo Hongyuan and his group to a nearby small tea house.

It was obvious that Iron Blade had booked the place.

At this moment, only their group was in the tea house.

After exchanging pleasantries, Huo Hongyuan got straight to the point, "Lin Ye the Great, you should know the reason we invited you to take action this time is that we hope you can help us maintain the status of the Second-level Guild."

He spoke with genuine sincerity.
