In the Capital Star of Rekart within the Silver Alliance, there lies a tranquil and ancient hidden world. Once you enter, you'll discover a paradise composed solely of manors and ancient castles.

As one of the top five hidden sects, the Nangong Family also holds a certain influence in Rekart. Not because of their involvement in politics, but because, over the years, they have nurtured talents with special abilities for Rekart.

Such as Seal Technique, vision techniques, Escape Technique, Illusion Technique, and Spirit Communicating Technique; these cultivated talents often join the special departments of Rekart as officials upon completion of their training, or choose to spread their wings and fly far away, cutting ties with the Nangong Family thereafter.

It is precisely because of the Nangong Family's unique significance, their low-profile teaching principles, and their not well-understood supernatural abilities that the official assessment and secrecy level for the Nangong Family is quite high, and ordinary people hardly have the chance to set foot on this privately-owned land of the Nangong Family.

Unlike the Jade Clear Sect, the Nangong Family has certain familial systemic characteristics and doesn't solely focus on the innate Five Elements when selecting disciples; they pay more attention to lineage and personal Spiritual Medium.

But who knows what bewitchment occurred; Nangong Qi, the legitimate heiress of the Nangong family, was a naturally talented and good child. Yet, on her return home this time, she shockingly declared she was in a relationship of her own free will.

The Nangong Family has always valued bloodlines. Qi'er, with her innate unrivaled advantage in the spiritual medium eye, is hailed as a rare genius that comes once in a hundred years. If she were to carelessly get involved with some indecent man, wouldn't it imply that even the purity of the family's bloodline is compromised?

Who on earth has stolen Qi'er's heart? The family head was itching to kill that damned boy. Of course, there were other ways to resolve the issue, such as offering 1 million for that boy to take a hike, if 1 million didn't suffice then 10 million, and if 10 million fell short, they could go straight to 100 million. As far as the Nangong Family was concerned, any problem that money could solve was not an issue at all. Of course, this so-called money had its limits; if the demand exceeded a certain boundary, then it would be unreasonable to blame the Nangong Family for not being polite.

The Nangong Family, known for not playing by the rules, is not an easy target. As the saying goes, courtesy comes before force.

Yet when asked about the identity of the man involved with Qi'er, this stubborn girl refused to speak. Nangong Qi, always obedient, had undergone such a dramatic change in just a few short months away from home—it was absolutely intolerable.

As a result, Nangong Qi was locked up by the family head in her princess cage to reflect on her life. Little did they know, almost a year of confinement would pass without her mentioning a word about that man, nearly infuriating the family head to cough up blood.

Nangong Qi never responded to this matter, her heart was in agony too. She wondered when Feng Yi would come for her. He had clearly said he would come for her...

Practicing underneath the Golden Bodhi tree, Nangong Qi had almost entirely cut off contact with the outside world for a year, never leaving the territory of several thousand square meters. She had never tried staying in such a place for so long before.

Perhaps due to the prolonged time, even her original character seemed to have been smoothed much by the Golden Bodhi tree and the golden falling leaves drifting through blooming and wilting seasons... becoming calm and silent, or rather, reticent.

In fact, Nangong Qi's mind is sharp and her thinking keen. Although she lacked decision-making on her own, she has always had a stubborn streak and her determination often surpassed that of ordinary people, which was evident when Li Xiang (Feng Yi) encountered danger on the shuttle. While others were praying amid a space pirate attack, she, despite having the power to change the situation, prayed along with them, and if it weren't for Feng Yi's prompt countermeasures, things could have turned dire.

As for her response to Li Xiang's pursuit, once she agreed, she never changed her dogged attitude toward him. This kind of persistence, this quality, isn't something that ordinary girls could easily emulate.

Nangong Qi is a girl who knows when to advance and retreat, understands moderation, traditional and obedient, showing numerous talents from a young age, even the Silver Alliance Chancellor liked her very much. But she did not like war and didn't consider herself to be outstanding.

She believed she was just an ordinary girl who also yearned for love. Unfortunately, she seldom interacted with men. Others thought they were not worthy of her, of course, this had a significant connection to her distinguished noble birth, which is also the fundamental reason why Li Xiang (Feng Yi) succeeded in pursuing her.

In this dispute over the value of love, Nangong Qi found herself in a very awkward position. She had always dreamt of a perfect romantic encounter of her own, not a marriage steeped in political interests.

The hero complex is something every girl longs for, and Nangong Qi was no different. Yet, Nangong Qi had never wished for such a fairytale to happen to her until one day, she suddenly realized that Li Xiang, who had relentlessly pursued her, the one she had been searching and waiting for so long, was actually the prince charming she had always admired.

Witty and humorous, courageous and strong, bold and strategic, she hadn't expected that Li Xiang, who had deceived her for so long, turned out to be such a handsome Federal Major General. Bad Li Xiang, she simply adored him.

Instead, this led to another problem. She didn't want her family to find Li Xiang, nor did she want to put both parties in a difficult position—as a special envoy of the federation, Feng Yi, though bearing the rank of a junior major general, actually wielded authority even greater than other lieutenant generals and full generals. How would he be someone the Nangong Family could easily provoke? With Feng Yi's tough personality, he would not be threatened by anyone.

Upon hearing Grandfather mention using a fortune to question Li Xiang's sincerity, at the price of 100 million, Nangong Qi immediately abandoned the idea of revealing her identity to Feng Yi, because she was unsure whether her family would happily accept him afterward or make some other outrageous move.

What she had originally considered was the price of 100 million, well, that was probably about the same as one fully equipped ninth-generation model.

A breeze rustled through the leaves, and the wind chimes tinkled crisply in the wind... The white-bearded elder appeared before her in an instant.

"Grandfather..." Nangong Qi murmured softly...

"Qi'er, how is your Illusion Technique training?"

"The eighth layer."

"And your Eye Technique?"

"The eighth layer."

"What about Falling Snow?"

"Still the eighth layer."

The old man sighed, his doting gaze inexplicably tinged with helplessness, "With your extraordinary talent, why can't you reach a higher level?"

Nangong Qi turned her head silently, her fair hand lingering under the Bodhi tree, gazing into the distance as if yearning for something...

"Qi'er, you have at most one more year to train under the Golden Bodhi."

Nangong Qi acknowledged with a hum, turning back to meet his gaze, her eyes full of confusion.

"The world order, no, perhaps even the fate of mankind is about to undergo a major change, and this might happen in less than a year."

"The fate of mankind...?"

"Yes, even my Flashing Golden Eye cannot penetrate that layer of fog, and with your bloodline power, you might have been able to comprehend the Flashing Golden Eye, but you, child... Oh! I hope it's all just a coincidence! Maybe nothing will happen, maybe..."

The elder paused, "Qi'er, do you know what in this world is faster than the speed of light, further than distance?"

Nangong Qi shook her head...

"It's the entanglement of quantum particles, the distance between hearts, as well as the ends of the earth within close reach. If you cannot realize this, you will always be unable to grasp the true essence of the Flashing Golden Eye, and you will never reach the highest ninth layer."

Nangong Qi appeared thoughtful...
