Feng Yi said to Zi Yu, "Your potential is far greater than this. For now, practice with this method, focus and calm your mind, think of it as fishing from a few days ago."

"But Brother Feng, I'm so hungry," Zi Yu said, rubbing her empty stomach, looking pitiful.

"Hmm... People need food to survive. Wait a moment, I'll go buy something to eat."

With that, Feng Yi crouched briefly to gather strength, then leaped into the sky like a cannonball, heading straight for the town a hundred kilometers away.

Zi Yu felt quite miserable, her hair in disarray, ending up with a mouthful of dust.

Fortunately, Feng Yi returned soon with her favorite big chicken drumstick. Zi Yu munched happily, oily juices dripping from her mouth.

After eating, Zi Yu's training officially began. However, due to exhaustion from the day before, she could only make a small attempt today, experiencing some basic insights. Feng Yi had other matters to attend to, so he let her solo the quest for now.

Now, it was necessary to find Francis to ask about the old man's plans. Going to Jade Clear Sect was one thing, but bringing people along was just adding chaos. Especially Milly, who seemed cute and soft but was actually quite cunning.

Using aura detection, he quickly located Francis. As he applied the Third Rhythm, his figure appeared in the martial arts hall's living room, where everyone was having a meal. Unfortunately, Milly and the old man were present.

"Eh? Where did you come from?" Milly was momentarily stunned, but her pretty face quickly turned into a warm smile, with a hint of surprise hidden within, "Feng Yi!"

Feng Yi replied with a "Hmm," "Haha, arriving at the right time."

He said truthfully, severely pondering why this girl wasn't serving in the army but was here instead, probably to keep the old man stable, which was quite brave of her.

Lasso and Gandalf were evidently drunk, chatting about topics no one else understood.

"You haven't eaten yet, right?" Milly served him a bowl of white rice and picked up two pieces of ribs with chopsticks, moving closer to Feng Yi, bit by bit...

Francis could confirm that in less than a minute, Milly was already leaning against Feng Yi.

He was indeed a bit hungry, having been busy transferring funds for the Blade Warrior since leaving Reiko's house. It seemed Milly understood him, serving him ribs in this era where vegetables were costly.

"Hey, don't mind if I do."

"Eat more—oh, there's also beer," Milly suddenly remembered, took out the Space Crystal, found a Zero-degree beer inside, opened it, and handed it to Feng Yi, "There's plenty here."

"How considerate," Feng Yi smiled like a spring breeze, "You finally understand the value of having beer in the Space Crystal, huh?"

"Not really," Milly said softly, "I prepared it especially for you, Feng."

Ah, is this what it feels like to be a winner in life? Knowing someone is always thinking of you wherever you go, Feng Yi felt a warm flow in his heart... He suddenly felt like having a deep conversation with Milly, but recalling the important tasks, he quickly dismissed the idea.

Now, he considered how to subtly extract information: "So, what made you interested in traveling with the old man?"

Milly's eyes suddenly turned sharp, but only for a moment, returning to a warm gaze, "I'm just seeing the world with Grandpa Lasso."

Feng Yi murmured softly, "Of course!"

"Hmm...?"

Milly's smile didn't waver, squinting her eyes as if she had already seen through his motives, making Feng Yi shiver...

But this time, Feng Yi didn't dodge and chose to answer openly, "Women who smile with narrowed eyes are always trouble; I'm enlightened."

Though not daring to claim any expertise on women, Feng Yi knew the more you don't want them to do something, the more they do the opposite, especially a clever woman like Milly.

Francis seemed to follow their conversation to some extent, "Hey, hey, dear friends, Milly, are you really leaving me out here?"

"Not at all," Milly maintained her saintly smile but made a dismissive gesture towards him, as if telling him to scram.

This is where brothers come into play. He lifted his seat and sat on the other side of Feng Yi, "Milly, I hear you're on annual leave, too bad it's short—traveling the world is a rare opportunity, you should learn as much as you can from Grandpa Lasso."

The backstab was a critical hit, Milly's clear gaze without blinking rested on her brother for a long time, left speechless...

Feng Yi keenly picked up on the key point in the conversation, which was that during Lasso's world tour, she might not be able to keep up, and time is limited. If he finds a way to stagger timelines, everything should work out.

However, considering their confirmed relationship, he didn't want Milly finding Mengdie, fearing it might cause issues. Milly was highly aggressive, and Mengdie was difficult to read, making communication challenging.

Talking things through seemed doable, but going to Jade Clear Sect for battles of wits and courage would only be for others' amusement, almost like a palace drama, but with Lasso's protection, he was helpless.

While lost in thought, Feng Yi suddenly remembered someone!

Kexiao!

Right, if he wasn't good at handling such matters, Kexiao was definitely a versatile talent, so why not consult her? Considering Kexiao was female, in many respects, she would understand women better than him, at least for now.

After the meal, Feng Yi chatted with everyone for a while, but learned nothing, almost revealing important information due to Milly's clever words.

Yes, even he, along with a financial genius and business mogul like Francis, created a luxurious ensemble, but throughout the meal, they were completely dominated in the conversation.

By now, Feng Yi decided firmly to seek guidance from the extraordinary master Kexiao.

As soon as the cosmic forces were harnessed, he sensed Kexiao's presence in the distant Silver Alliance.

A few seconds later, Feng Yi was shocked! He almost teleported there—what is Kexiao doing? Her perception was too sharp, it seemed this was the only move left.

"Transcend!"

The power was unleashed, and Feng Yi entered observer mode.

It was a opulent estate, inside a presidential suite, Kexiao sat serenely like a lady beside a man, wearing light makeup. Her thin lips and constant gentle smile were alluring like an angel.

Her demeanor was strikingly noble, elegantly demure yet enchantingly delicate. Her affectionate gaze held both youthful clarity and mature wisdom, embodying a nurturing smile so perfectly, she seemed to be the caring girl-next-door. Her appeal was both ethereal and sophisticated, invoking curiosity and a desire to know her inside and out.

She swayed her jade-like feet as if conversing with the man, her expression was somewhat coy, this was definitely the peak of allure.

What could drive her to such extents? With a flicker of thoughts, Feng Yi realized, the quantum train? He decided to eavesdrop on their conversation—before that, he allowed himself a pot of tea.
