Indeed, as an S-level squad, this team is already a star-ranking team renowned in the Free Bounty Tribe. But don't forget, even the entire Free Bounty Tribe was founded by Brother Feng and his brothers. Comparing the two, the result is immediately clear.

Therefore, when it comes to gifts, forget about luxury. No matter how luxurious, it won't match theirs. So, focus must be placed on sincerity. But even sincerity shouldn't appear shabby—this is Xixi's suggestion.

As for the gift, there's not much choice. Maybe something around a million or so... or just focus on sincerity.

Xiu Yi felt torn and awkward, even his old face betrayed inexplicable emotions. He wanted to complain and curse: Damn! People really can't be compared. One's in the heavens, the other on the ground. As the saying goes, the children of the poor grow up early, while the children of the rich are born spoiled. Anyone would want to befriend them, all because they're simply wealthy.

Adding in Brother Feng's legendary status, damn, how many people in this world would throw themselves at them? Where's there even a need for him to pave the way for his child? Don't forget who the child is—Brother Feng's flesh and blood, the descendant of a national hero. Forget about himself, even the Federal Government would have to step in.

Xiu Yi's mind suddenly lit up, and he froze... "E-everyone, can I just not go?"

He suddenly felt that as a direct disciple of Revenge Shadow Rider, going might actually lower Feng Yi's status. It wouldn't matter for him personally, but when it comes to Brother Feng, this thought suddenly surfaced.

"Going is necessary, you can't just not go," Xixi calmly responded to Xiu Yi. "I understand your concerns. We don't necessarily need to be there at the exact specified time—go earlier or later, avoiding the peak of guests is fine."

"Will this plan work?"

"Probably?" Xixi's response to Xiu Yi's question seemed equally unsure.

Ultimately, Brother Feng is not the type to fuss over such trivial matters. However, this team is different. Xiu Yi is someone Brother Feng pins high hopes on. Their concern isn't about personal reputation but about Brother Feng's standing.

If someone asks who you are, how should you answer? Brother Feng's direct disciple?

If they then ask what gift you've prepared, how should you respond?

Looking at others' lavish, dazzling gifts, and then at your own humble offering—it's just unjustifiable. At that point, it isn't just about you; they might even start questioning Brother Feng's taste.

Faced with such dilemmas, even Red Ghost, the oldest in the group, felt troubled.

Red Ghost suggested that Xiu Yi seek out Blade Warrior. If money's tight, borrow some—or brainstorm ideas. But whatever the case, they must tackle this head-on. As Brother Feng's direct disciple, losing face is not an option. Beg if you must. No money? Borrow. And if all else fails, isn't there still honor points?

Honestly, these points can come through in critical moments. If someone quotes a price to exchange points for money, the guild members would turn bloodshot-eyed.

Thus, solutions aren't non-existent. The key depends on whether it's a boy, girl, or maybe twins. Ever since Blade Warrior mentioned this news to Xiu Yi, although he has cast aside his hatred, he has to admit this has become another worry weighing on him. But, as the saying goes, the car will find its path ahead, the boat will naturally straighten up at the bridge—there's bound to be a solution.

As for the chubby one, Zhang Xiaobo couldn't care less about the news from Blade Warrior. Whether to go or not? Of course, he'll go—how could he as a brother not go?

As for the gift? Damn, he hasn't thought about it yet. He's focused on how to spend the least money on the most thoughtful gift. Zhang Xiaobo has absolutely no concept of sentiment behind gifts. He's even wondering if he should get something like fake crystal diamonds.

"A small gift with heartfelt meaning"—that's the truth of it. The bond he shares with Feng Yi isn't limited to a child. His presence at the event would be the most meaningful gift. Even if Feng Yi's off disappearing again, none of that really matters.

As for what to actually prepare? Damn it, whatever.

When Zhang Xiaobo received the message from Blade Warrior, he was first a bit stunned—Damn it, why does this kind of thing need to involve him? But moments later, he thought about Feng Yi and quickly understood, casually responding to Blade Warrior.

As for what to prepare exactly? He truly hasn't decided yet.

Sara, however, seemed wise and proposed an idea to the chubby one: Give Mengdie a few beach vacation tickets—the kind from her bar's private beach. As for the tickets' function? Naturally, they'd cover travel expenses and all play-related costs.

Besides, Sara's handiwork was impeccable, practically exquisite. She even instantly thought of knitting some clothes for the child—it would be both heartfelt and handcrafted. Surely the Jade Clear Sect couldn't be dissatisfied with that.

Clearly, when it comes to such dilemmas, the mature and sensual Sara was far more practical and visionary than anyone in Xiu Yi's squad.

In their banter, Sara had already thought about future costs, covering everything from food, lodging, and travel, to all expenses during the vacation. 200,000 would definitely suffice.

Of course, the sum of 200,000 isn't small for a household. Compared to the pressure of preparing a gift, it certainly doesn't pale in significance.

Even if they had twins, even triplets, and four attendees, the round-trip costs would max out at 50,000. The remaining 150,000 divided among four people, that's 50,000 each—plenty for entertainment. Even if you spent 10,000 a day, it would last.

Regarding food, one must consider Mengdie's identity and preferences. A single glance would reveal she's a woman untainted by worldly pursuits. Her material desires are minimal. Even if she brought children, she wouldn't indulge excessively. She seeks harmony with the heavens, unity of heaven and man, eating things like celestial peaches. Her outings are purely for relaxation.

What's more, her attendance remains uncertain. In Sara's estimation, it's highly unlikely, which means a few handmade clothes might suffice. Still, the intention mustn't be lacking.

And Zhang Xiaobo, with his substantial assets and years of saving private funds from serving as a soldier, certainly isn't short of money. At this moment, Sara's crafty calculations flowed thick and swift, effortlessly extracting the chubby one's funds through casual remarks.

Zhang Xiaobo, dazed and enchanted by Sara, only realized what had happened once his money was gone—Damn it, that 20,000 was the subsidized reward for brothers given the second-class Diamond honor. Just gone like that?

That money was immensely meaningful to Zhang Xiaobo. In response, he exchanged 40,000 of his private stash to reclaim the 20,000 Sara had coaxed away. But here's the warming part—Sara used that 40,000 the very next day to buy Zhang Xiaobo a 70,000 credit Galactic Warfare Special Edition holographic warplane.

Zhang Xiaobo was moved to tears on the spot. Sara had actually covered the additional 30,000 herself—where could he possibly find such an amazing wife? Zhang Xiaobo decided he must marry Sara the next day.

The marriage, of course, wasn't going to happen. It was just Zhang Xiaobo's wild imagination.

Meanwhile, as Sky Shadow was still practicing, he received a Heavenly Communication from Blade Warrior. Reading the message, Sky Shadow sneered and quickly hung up, deleting the information altogether.

This group of people—wasting time and life over trivial relationships. The contents of the message left Sky Shadow sweating coldly, his face turning green. How could he attend such a pointless gathering? He wouldn't go. It's certain that neither Kexiao nor Feng Yi would busy themselves over the birth of a child.

Just as Sky Shadow suspected, Roland's expression was similarly helpless upon hearing the news. She planned not to attend and simply asked Blade Warrior to deliver her blessings in a message instead. As for any formalities, they were entirely unnecessary.

Blade Warrior, full of expectations, ultimately found themselves facing this result: Sky Shadow wouldn't come, Roland wouldn't come, Zhang Xiaobo and Sara arrived together, Xiu Yi's squad attended, and they themselves were present...

Blade Warrior simply invited everyone to meet in one month at Sky City, by which time the child would likely have already been born. She proposed taking her own shuttle to gather everyone and head there together while avoiding Francis and other guests' schedules. After all, this group had once experienced interdimensional journeys and life-and-death struggles with Mengdie. Their absence wouldn't be due to the lack of a gift—Mengdie and even Jade Clear Sect could surely understand. As for Sky Shadow's absence, it would need no explanation.
