Not knowing whether it was excitement or joy, Xiu Yi's eyes brimmed with tears as she carefully took the dagger.

Reyna said, "This is a gift from Feng Yi for you."

"Brother Feng, did he come by?"

"Yes, just now, but he has already left. He sent you a birthday gift. Make sure you treasure it."

Looking at the cream cake on the table and the hefty dagger, Xiu Yi felt her eyes inexplicably moisten, but as a man, she should shed blood not tears. Clenching her teeth, Xiu Yi forcefully suppressed her only weakness. "Why did Brother Feng leave?"

Reyna smiled silently, "He hasn't left; he's still on Bull Planet. Whether you'll see him depends on your performance. I think you understand what I mean."

Without any hesitation, Xiu Yi dashed out of the room and began shouting into the air, "Brother Feng, I will show you my growth."

Yes, the two had made a silent promise in their hearts that once the war ended, Brother Feng would return to Bull Planet to witness his growth. It was a promise between men, and while Brother Feng had kept his word, he also needed to prove his own awakening through his actions.

When Xiu Yi returned to the room, Reyna had already left, leaving behind the fluffy-eyed Xixi looking at her. Xiu Yi asked, "Did you see Brother Feng?"

"Yes, Brother Feng also gave me this." As she spoke, Xixi pulled out a Laser Gun from her hand.

"Oh my God!" Xiu Yi took 999 critical damage, disbelievingly staring at the light weapon in Xixi's hand, "Brother Feng is playing favorites."

"Yes, Brother Feng is really playing favorites," Xixi said with a nod and a light smile.

"And yet you're here, cool as a cucumber."

"No, I think Brother Feng is more partial to you."

"Why would you say that?"

"You're thinking too simply. I'm a girl; a laser gun is just a defensive weapon that doesn't require much skill. The dagger, on the other hand, is different. I believe what Brother Feng truly meant was to prevent you from coming into contact with powerful equipment too early and becoming dependent on it. Did you know, this dagger is crafted from a supermetal material, Daddy told me, but don't let me be the one to tell you."

Xiu Yi fell silent for a moment, her eyes reddening again, but the feeling was quickly replaced by excitement. "Right, what did you and Brother Feng talk about?"

"Just a little bit; I really couldn't get a word in."

Yes, how could she, his sister, have a part in the conversation between Brother Feng and Reyna? Xiu Yi suddenly burst into a mischievous grin, "Hehe, do you like Brother Feng?"

Xixi nodded silently, "Of course."

"Then have you ever thought about confessing to Brother Feng one day?"

Upon hearing this, Xixi shook her head silently...

Xiu Yi couldn't understand Xixi, even as her sister who had grown up together; the saying "a woman's heart is a deep ocean of secrets" couldn't be more true. He asked Xixi, "Don't you have the courage?"

"It's not that."

"Then... why?"

"There are many ways to like someone, and it doesn't necessarily involve confessing. The gap is just too wide."

"Far? Where is far? Brother Feng is not the kind of person who cares about the gap, I can guarantee that," Reyna said.

Xixi chuckled, "The difference is not what you think. Brother Feng is like a gust of wind, or an eagle soaring in the sky; it is very hard for us to keep up with his pace, catch up to his speed. However, I believe that as long as we work hard, the distance between us will surely shrink to almost nothing."

Xiu Yi listened, not quite understanding, yet feeling as though it made a lot of sense. Indeed, the distance between Brother Feng and them was not far, but at some level, it seemed as if there was an insurmountable chasm. This was not something that could be achieved simply with passion and courage. If one had to describe it with a word, it would probably be 'depth'."

At dawn, with the sky barely bright, Xiu Yi, full of energy, had already changed into a sturdy outfit, ready to start the day's journey.

What was different today, however, was that Xixi would be acting with him. As a foster father, he only dared to entrust Xixi to him after Xiu Yi had truly come of age, which were Reyna's very words.

Watching the battle cars zip by and the hurried travelers head out of town, Xiu Yi, without a moment's hesitation, took Xixi and went straight to the Red Ghost's house. After a few knocks on the door, the Red Ghost emerged, "I've been waiting for you for a while, grown-up."

As almost a High Rank warrior, the Red Ghost's status on Bull Planet was nearly at the point where she could roam freely, yet she still promised to go on an adventure with him after he came of age. There were many reasons for it: first was affection, and next, they were both disciples of the legendary warrior Feng Yi, even though Xiu Yi often prided himself as the senior disciple. But it had to be said that the Red Ghost was not excited about this old-fashioned title.

Of course, Xiu Yi's strength wasn't lacking either. Compared to Xiu Yi, Xixi, being part of the medical team, had relatively limited combat abilities.

"Sister Red Ghost, I have a secret, do you want to hear it?" Xiu Yi asked.

"Skip the intelligence, I'm not interested in that sort of thing."

"It's not intelligence, but I bet you will be shocked."

"I'm all ears."

"Brother Feng has been here."

"What Brother Feng—wait, you mean Feng Yi? Where is he?" The Red Ghost's expression changed dramatically. She had witnessed Feng Yi's power and knew his strength; if there was anyone in the world worth challenging for her, it was certainly Feng Yi, a man she longed to surpass yet found elusive.

"Hey, shocked, aren't you?" Xiu Yi said, clearly quite pleased with himself.

"Quickly tell me! Where is he?" The Red Ghost, usually calm and composed, was now impatient, almost as if she was questioning a disobedient child.

"He has already left." And so, as they walked, Xiu Yi narrated the previous night's events thoroughly to the Red Ghost.

"He must be nearby," the Red Ghost stated confidently, trusting her instincts.

But she guessed wrong. Feng Yi was not nearby but rather at the Bounty Hunters' Gathering Camp, seated in a sturdy tree, observing the newcomers below, and also awaiting the arrival of a certain person.

Feng Yi, of course, had no time to watch over Xiu Yi like a prisoner, but he knew that Xiu Yi and his companions would surely show up at the Warriors' Gathering Camp.

For hunters, the Gathering Camp is not only a place to exchange information but also to replenish supplies. Of course, the Free Ones' Bounty Tribe also established their supply sales here. It's like a gateway all hunters must pass through; those wishing to go out hunting have no reason not to stop here briefly, whether to gather intelligence or to replenish ammunition, covering all the bases.

Before long, the trio had already left the town. The seasoned warriors silently made way for them; they were not strangers to these three.

Xixi was fine, an adorable girl with abilities that were not too strong.

But Xiu Yi was different. Having reached the precipice of the hunter's realm, he was a standout even in the eyes of ordinary people, and many girls sought to team up with him.

As for the Red Ghost, considering the powerhouses of Bull Planet, with her solo fighting capabilities, she wouldn't only be in the top twenty but would likely make it into the top ten. Moreover, the Red Ghost was a warrior who entered the field early, with a wide network, knowing many High Rank bounty hunters.
