Oh my gosh, why is someone so bad disturbing people's sleep in the middle of the day!

Zi Yu rubbed her sleepy eyes, and the sight in her vision made her hesitate momentarily.

Although the weak sunlight couldn't show Feng Yi's face, his unique aura was unmistakable: "Hmm, is it the deadbeat bro?"

"Please don't randomly give people nicknames."

"It really is the deadbeat bro!"

Feng Yi sighed helplessly, "Alright, now take me to see your parents."

"Wha- what do you want?"

"The Bounty Tribe received a commission; don't you know you're in great danger now?"

"Yes, I know."

"Knowing that and still sleeping so soundly, I admire you a bit."

"Hmm... but I can't just not sleep."

"Heh, true enough, let's not talk about that for now, lead the way."

"Okay then, but deadbeat bro, where have you been these years? Any news about my sister? If she's dead, I can marry you in her place."

"You'll be disappointed; she's living well. Due to special reasons, she can't come now, but she should be here soon."

The two walked and talked along the way, quickly arriving at the end of the manor.

However, Zi Yu's father wasn't home, and greeting Feng Yi was Zi Yu's mother. Upon learning his identity and purpose, it was obvious her eyes were moist with emotion.

The reputation of a person precedes them; frankly, she never dared to hope that the Bounty Tribe would send someone as renowned as Feng Yi: "You... are truly the famous Lord Feng Yi."

"I wouldn't dare accept such rumors."

"Please, please, please have a seat."

Zi Yu's mother was practically overwhelmed, repeating her invitation several times, and instructed the butler to quickly serve tea. She excitedly said to Feng Yi, "I know discussing this now is untimely, but I must mention, the Nangong Family thanks you for your support in Mardis. Without your help, even Rekart would have been severely affected."

As the true leader of Vafidia, she was well aware of Feng Yi's renown. This elegant gentleman was the soul of the Blazing Army; his influence was unquestionable even in Rekart.

It's hard to understand; despite being a clan, how could such meager rewards attract someone as important as Feng Yi—who is he? That goes without saying; detailed records of him are in textbooks across nations, and he once roamed the world, fighting the bizarre, praised by bards as Beyond the Divine Wind.

Yet, even such a significant figure as Feng Yi did not display a shred of arrogance, merely saying that she was being too courteous. Feng Yi didn't want to engage in pleasantries over this topic and directly stated his desire to know more about the Nangong Family and the current situation to devise a plan.

Zi Yu's mother told him the clan leader was old, weak, and gravely ill, and Qi'er, the most promising successor, had not returned for two years, leaving the clan leader position vacant, which led to infighting among the clan's children.

The elders' unanimous silence contributed to today's situation, considering it an indirect test for the youthful successors.

The elders' intentions might not be wrong but overlooked ambitious relatives within the clan, not to mention possible external influences involved. The issue has reached a deeply unsettling level, causing daily fear for their daughter's safety, especially since every family has only one child, and Zi Yu possesses a legitimate bloodline with great potential.

After hearing this, Feng Yi remained silent for a moment, contemplating far more than what appeared on the surface: "If you trust me, let me take her away for a while."

The lady hesitated visibly, but since it was Feng Yi, she decided to no longer waver, "If Zi Yu can be by your side, I am completely at ease."

Feng Yi nodded, "Then let's go, Zi Yu."

"Uh... Lord, are you just going to leave openly like this?"

"Of course, if anyone asks, just say it's me."

"Alright!"

Although Zi Yu wasn't sure what Feng Yi was planning, since he said so, there must be a reason behind it.

Once they left the manor, Feng Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief. Despite the stunning nearby scenery with lush mountains, vibrant birds, and fragrant flowers, his mood remained heavy. With normal progression, the Nangong Family wouldn't be causing such a stir—it seems someone is orchestrating from behind.

"Bro, where are we going now?"

"To a place where we won't attract attention, anywhere is good."

"Then let's go to Long Dragon Street for some delicacies; the crowded flow of people there surely won't draw attention."

Feng Yi chuckled helplessly, "Wake up, we've got dozens of eyes on us."

Zi Yu gasped, "Wow, dozens of people!"

"Shhh..." Feng Yi gestured for silence, "It's dozens of pairs of eyes. Are you afraid?"

"Not afraid at all, with the deadbeat bro here, Zi Yu fears nothing."

"That's the spirit, Zi Yu, you have courage akin to your true self." Feng Yi spoke while picking up Eggy, whispered to it, then casually hung it on his waist, "Since you're not afraid, let's go for some delicacies."

"Yay, awesome, awesome!"

Clang clang clang...

On the way downhill, the tranquil wilderness was suddenly illuminated by streaks of lightning. With gestures and a dispersal of aura, Feng Yi deflected the attacks instantly as if nothing had happened in that moment.

The sudden change caused the hidden figures in black clothes to sense impending trouble—when they dialed the Heavenly Communication, a woman's voice came through on the other side: "What is it?"

"Master, seven snipers died in an instant; the person protecting the target is formidable."

"Formidable how?"

"At the very least, beyond the First-Order level."

"First-Order... what's his background?"

"Unknown for now, my assessment is that it's unfathomable."

"You can offer such a high evaluation; immediately investigate this person's identity."

While the two were conversing, another voice jumped in: "No need to investigate, the person you're looking for is me."

With Eggy's interception, Feng Yi successfully connected to the video call, becoming the third party.

Upon seeing his identity clearly, the woman's eyebrows knitted together tightly as she articulated his name.

"The Federation's Feng Yi!?"

"That's right, it's me."

"Feng Yi, why are you interfering in the Nangong Family's internal affairs? Where do you plan to take Nangong Zi Yu?"

"Taking her somewhere she won't be assassinated. It seems your backing is strong, not unfamiliar with the Nangong Family; could you listen to me and stop?"

"Hmm... How did you find me?"

"By tracing the network line, so please answer my last question."

"Stopping is impossible; I warn you not to get involved in this matter."

"And if I insist on involving myself, what can you do?"

This... Feng Yi's answer instantly stifled the woman's response; does he have any weaknesses? The answer is there are none; yes, Feng Yi has absolutely no weaknesses.

At this moment, after a brief hesitation, a seductive cold smile flashed across the woman's face: "Is that so? Then you can try, including Nangong Zi Yu, her entire family is exposed under my surveillance. With one command, guess what will happen?"

"Alright, go ahead and give it a try—by the way Zi Yu, you can go home and continue sleeping now, don't bother me when I'm handling serious matters."

Zi Yu wasn't foolish; she had already perceived the underlying tones of their conversation, quite serious ones at that, and had lost interest in dining. Yet, despite not fully understanding Feng Yi's intentions and being puzzled, Zi Yu was delighted by the proposal.

"Brother Feng, may I leave now?"

"Go ahead."

On the other side of the Heavenly Communication, the woman felt even more perplexed: "You're likely Feng Yi, are you crazy, or have you not considered the consequences for the Nangong Family?"

"The ignorant one is you; I dare wager that I can reach seven kilometers away to Zi Yu's home in less than a second, eliminate the hidden personnel, and trace your electromagnetic wave to locate you in the skyscraper three hundred kilometers away. Do you want to try?"

Feng Yi was smiling; it was a smile full of confidence.

Ordinary people would surely doubt; even if he's formidable, it's skeptical whether Feng Yi was just boasting, "What a joke, who would have thought the famous Lord Feng Yi is indeed a peculiar person, thinking that such tricks can intimidate me."

"Ah, then give it a try, try issuing the command now."

The woman's gaze became increasingly complex: "What did you say?"

"I said nothing, pretend I was spouting nonsense, bragging. Come on, let me demonstrate for you an explosion far beyond the bizarre."

Slowly, the woman began to sweat coldly... Feng Yi's voice echoed once again: "You should have a vague suspicion, the actual reason for the downfall of the bizarre, don't you?"
