Nangong Qi certainly wouldn't disappear without reason. To pursue the ultimate essence of the Flashing Golden Eye Technique, she has been in seclusion for intense training... for a few weeks to several months.

The difference is that now Nangong Qi is in a higher dimension, and it's inconvenient to disclose the details.

Thus, Feng Yi just casually brushed off Francis and turned to ask what's going on with the Nangong Family. As far as he knew, this Ancient Martial Arts family wasn't too complicated, right? How did an assassination suddenly pop up?

"Matters of family and clan are hard to explain in a few words."

Francis quickly organized his thoughts and explained to Feng Yi that ever since the Nangong Family came to Mardis, they've never had a moment of peace.

Of course, this so-called 'peace' wasn't disturbance from outside, but rather the complex internal factional struggles. Since the death of the family head a year ago, the clan position should have been inherited by the most talented Nangong Qi; after all, a snake can't function without a head.

But problems followed. In the two years of Nangong Qi's disappearance, the outside world believed she was dead, including her own family.

In pursuit of power and profit, the family disciples have been openly and secretly fighting, with frequent assassination commissions being received.

Initially, the bounties issued by the Nangong Family were mere threats and intimidation. As events deepened, the Bounty Tribe from Freedom Port understood that they couldn't wade into such muddy waters. It's safe to say that because of Nangong Qi's connection, the Bounty Tribe was glad to step in—after all, she was your person, Feng Yi—but without Nangong Qi, these family matters were no longer related to the tribe.

The Nangong Family has dozens of branch offshoots. In these short two years, many disciples have been secretly assassinated by stronger factions—either through flight explosions or mysterious disappearances, some even overtly targeting their lives. Of course, these are just different versions of the events. Essentially, every imaginable and unimaginable incident has played out during this time, which could be called political strife.

It's known that the Nangong Family maintains close ties with the Rekart official circles and is involved in politics. Even institutions like the Bounty Tribe don't want to be entangled in such matters, let alone have any reason to intervene.

Francis shrugged helplessly, "That's how it is. Take this girl, for example; she could very well become the next victim in this political struggle." While speaking, Francis casually tossed a business card to Feng Yi.

It was indeed a beautiful girl, but upon seeing her appearance, Feng Yi furrowed his brow...

"What, feeling compassion for a beauty?"

"Hehe, maybe a bit. Can you not take the commission and help her out?"

Francis's eyes became strange, "It's useless. This would mean going against a faction hidden in the shadows. Speaking of which..."

"What?"

"If it's you, the matter can easily be dealt with. Do you know her?"

"Yes. Her name is Nangong Ziyu, a quirky girl who likes to call me a deadbeat brother. I didn't expect such a harmless person to become a target."

"So, what do you plan to do?"

"There's no other way. I'll take this commission."

As a registered bounty hunter for the Bounty Tribe, and also the covert president, Feng Yi's power and influence are undoubtedly significant.

Upon hearing this, Francis's face changed abruptly, "God! May those you protect not come near this girl, or else they'll suffer terribly."

Feng Yi nodded to him, "The situation is urgent; let's put the old man's issues aside for now."

"Alright, all the information is here, though it might not be useful to you."

"No need to bother. I'll just glance over it with the computer."

In a moment, Feng Yi roughly understood the current situation with Nangong Ziyu.

A week ago, someone unknown sneaked into her room and planted explosive devices, nearly costing Nangong Ziyu her life. The explosion's power was astonishing.

Two days ago, her hovercraft mysteriously disappeared. After much investigation, it was finally confirmed that the vehicle wasn't stolen but vaporized. Vaporized! The two consecutive incidents have made the Ziyu family highly alert, but the commissions they issued weren't for assassination, but to protect Ziyu from being assassinated. Once achieved...

That's how things stand.

Until Feng Yi disappeared, Francis took a curious interest in examining Feng Yi's detailed files...

Such terrifying stats make Francis secretly worry for certain people of the Nangong Family. If it's not sheer madness, don't mess with him. The farther away, the better.

After saying a simple goodbye to Francis, Feng Yi promptly exercised the Third Rhythm, appearing suddenly in the Rekart Capital of the Silver Alliance.

Standing in the bustling district, Feng Yi's mind was like a tranquil lakeside, gently closing his eyes as if sensing the flow of the wind. The presence spread throughout the entire planetary region at this moment...

He instantly locked onto seventy-one traces. These traces were all extremely similar to Nangong Ziyu's.

Swish swish swish swish swish...

Feng Yi's figure continuously flashed and disappeared, until a few seconds later, during the pursuit of the forty-fourth trace, he unexpectedly found Nangong Ziyu napping.

What a carefree person, comfortably sleeping at such a critical juncture—perhaps it's understandable, considering how different people are. Despite his deep slumber, his long-standing vigilance left a thread of awareness, shaped by his survival environment—he often envied the ordinary life.

Feng Yi took a few steps...

But Nangong Ziyu didn't wake.

This made Feng Yi feel slightly strange. He bent down repeatedly, picked up the poster pressed against Ziyu's chest, yet Nangong Ziyu remained asleep.

The scene before him made Feng Yi slightly surprised—assassinated? That's absolutely impossible. With extraordinary powers, he could easily perceive Ziyu's active life presence. Could it be that this person's vigilance is just so low?

Bang...

Unable to endure, Feng Yi finally gave her little head a firm tap. Hey! Wake up, will you?

Nangong Ziyu finally woke up, but her sleepy-eyed expression still appeared adorably dazed...
