"Hahaha, kidnapping someone's family for ransom, Brother Feng could really do that, why doesn't he just fly away?"

The fat guy laughed, and everyone chuckled at Feng Yi's past embarrassment. Amidst the laughter, the brief dry laughter quickly settled into silence... thinking about Feng Yi, there seemed to be something missing around them.

"Speaking of which, he should be here by now, are you sure you didn't mix up the time?" It was Zhang Xiaobo who asked.

Everyone turned their curious gazes to the Blade Warrior...

"Mardis is far away, let's wait a bit longer. After all, Mengdie hasn't arrived yet either."

That's right, everyone's head was filled with thoughts of Feng Yi. If the Blade Warrior hadn't mentioned it, they might have really forgotten about her.

"That's not an excuse, Sister Blade, Feng Yi should hurry up."

"Why do you talk so much, shut up."

At this moment, Sky Shadow's eyes moved slightly, "Here they come!"

Hmm, here? But who are they?

Everyone's gaze scanned around, only to notice a dazzling light in the distant sky. A plasma stream streaked across the sky like a comet, and the spacecraft was decelerating rapidly under high gravity cancellation.

"Jade Clear Sect's?" The fat guy asked, full of doubt with a deep frown.

"Hmm... maybe."

"What does maybe mean?"

The Blade Warrior shrugged, claiming she had never seen the Jade Clear Sect's flying equipment. After all, when the Immortal Mountain was destroyed, the Francis she found managed to get two super shuttles from who knows where for transport, but she didn't know the style of the Jade Clear Sect's shuttles.

"Let's go over and take a look."

After a cup of tea's time, everyone except for Sky Shadow had already reached the lift platform. They saw two people stepping off the spacecraft one after another... The Blade Warrior raised her eyebrows as if relieved, "As expected."

Mingfei's smile was slightly stiff because there stood a Kexiao in front, an old adversary with whom she had fought before.

Mengdie scanned everyone with her gaze, silently nodding slightly to the Blade Warrior before locking her eyes onto the two little figures.

The Blade Warrior patted her chest exaggeratedly, "You guys are really too slow."

"The spacecraft had a minor glitch midway, but I suppose that's not an excuse."

"Glitch? Issues with interstellar endurance can be quite dangerous, especially..." The Blade Warrior felt embarrassed to continue, especially with an older spacecraft like theirs.

"Haha, no problem."

"Well, how are Little Jin and Zhan Yu doing now?"

Mingfei nodded and then shook her head gently, indicating the two were unfortunate but found fortune in misfortune. Living a normal life wasn't bad; leaving the school, well, that's also a milestone in life.

Jiu Ling's gaze was drawn to Mengdie, such a beautiful person... At this moment, even she felt, felt... felt a bit ashamed. Of course, she's not bad herself, just a slightly different style.

However, as Feng Luo and Feng Wu spoke in unison, she was instantly dumbfounded...

'Mom'? Jiu Ling was sure she didn't hear wrong. This girl who looked much younger than herself was actually Feng Luo and Feng Wu's close relative.

As the saying goes, in a lover's eyes, you're a beauty; in a rival's eyes, you're trash. Jiu Ling couldn't quite say why, but she felt an inexplicable need to scrutinize this young lady even more closely, and her gaze on Mengdie became increasingly scrutinizing...

Mengdie seemed to perceive it, took a step towards them, and as she passed by, her side glance lingered briefly until she reached Feng Luo and Feng Wu, then leaned down. Her words were soft but very ethereal: "Have you been listening well to Uncle Sky Shadow?"

Jiu Ling was taken aback again, even her voice was so delicate and gentle. She hadn't even noticed what Feng Luo and Feng Wu replied in that instant. This... she thought she should be under a car, not here, watching how sweet your family is.

Kexiao showed a face of boredom; indeed, he came along just to see Mengdie, to see how this woman, who was calmer than himself, would react to seeing two children, but her response was unexpectedly calm...

Though this seemed a bit gossipy, everything about Feng Yi seemed to fit the logical pattern.

As for Jiu Ling's inner thoughts, Kexiao seemed to see through everything, saying, "Jiu Ling, let's go drink."

"Huh? Drink?"

"Indeed, you came looking for him. Since he's not here, just keep waiting."

Kexiao was right. She was looking for Feng Yi, why care about them? Anyway, Feng Yi had to give her an explanation.

——

In a secret cold storage on Earth in the Solar System, Feng Yi and his group had been standing there for quite a while — upon Allen's suggestion, Feng Yi did not go directly to Sky City, but chose to make a special visit to see Lasso.

"Feng Yi, this is a special day for you. We're about to embark on a journey with no known return date. Before that, don't you want Lasso revived? Given your abilities, you can easily do it."

"Boss, I don't want you to regret it. I think Allen's suggestion is worth considering."

Nangong Qi just stood quietly nearby, saying nothing...

However, for the suggestion, Feng Yi didn't think it was a good option. He spoke softly, "I'm just here to see him."

"See him... see a body?"

"Yes... this body of which you speak carries my everything. If he could have been revived, he would have been long ago. Sometimes, death is not necessarily a bad thing. At least in my heart, he has never died."

"Why do you say that?"

"No special reason. Every life has its end. Even with the power to defy fate, I do not wish for him to endure a second round of pain—Lasso Grandpa is the person I respect the most. Unfortunately, I was not mature enough back then to face parting with relatives, unable to accept it all. I even fear coming here, fearing to recall everything about him. This longing is far stronger than with Huang Zhennan and Guo Guo. When I returned to the world, I seemed to have realized something."

"But I can sense your inner conflicting desire."

"This I don't deny. I long to see him, to say a word to him, to wish..." Feng Yi's voice suddenly fell silent, and after a while, he said quietly, "He left without regrets, only pain left. I think if I still respect him, understand him, then I shouldn't wake him up at this moment."

"Are you saying...?"

"Haha, I must thank my good friend Francis," Feng Yi suddenly laughed, saying, "Lasso Grandpa's decayed body has always been in a frozen state, but it has not truly decayed—parting is the next reunion, and I don't want to disturb him at an abrupt moment."

"You're really something. Then why did you make this trip specially?"

"It's necessary; who knows how far I'll be going — haha, let's not talk about it anymore. We are already late, let's go."

"Wait, Boss, I just remembered something important."

"What?"

After today we depart to High Dimensions, which are of a different tier from here. If we encounter trouble, what should we do? We need to study this in advance.

"You think quietly about me, I can sense it."

"Hey, be specific."

"Uh..." Feng Yi propped his chin, as an idea flashed in his mind, a stream of consciousness suddenly entered Allen and Eggy's memory.

The creator of cosmic rhythms, the transcender of three-dimensional space-time, the observer of infinite perspectives, hear my voice, forever chant my name, and I shall be able to feel everything about you!

In the next moment, with a shift in perspective, everyone appeared soundlessly above Sky City.

"Hey everyone..."

Feng Yi forced himself to greet them. Coming today was not a good idea. As soon as he arrived, he saw everyone's setup, and suddenly he was at a loss for words. Even as experienced as Feng Yi, he was startled by the lineup before him!

Who would have thought that the Blade Warrior would not only call him but also find Mengdie? Didn't the two of them have no interactions? You should know Feng Luo and Feng Wu were brought here by Sky Shadow, even if there was interaction. And what's with Jiu Ling being here, and today he even brought Nangong Qi.

In fact, it wasn't Feng Yi's intention to bring Nangong Qi, but since the Nangong Family had already settled in Mardis and they were in a relationship, she would often visit and ask questions, so Eggy leaked the gathering news. He agreed to introduce Nangong Qi to these friends, and then...

A sly smile crossed Sky Shadow's otherwise cold face: "Hmph, things just got more interesting."

At this point, Jiu Ling tried to get up, but Kexiao gestured for her to stay calm and not to rush, slowly drink wine and keep watching quietly...

Now, Feng Yi suddenly calmed down, refraining from further actions and choosing to quietly turn around. He thought he'd come to just greet everyone and decided to make a run for it.

After all, there's no explaining three women standing here— the more you explain, the messier it gets. Besides, as a seasoned driver, I'm on the civilian path with a domestic model, modestly claiming low capacity and low fuel consumption, and three at once is too much.

"Stop right there!"

(I'm back everyone! Sorry, sorry, I was gone for over ten days!)
