"So... Qi'er, quickly, quickly, quickly, why not let our young friend Feng Yi give it a try."
As it's said, hearing is unreliable, seeing is believing. The old patriarch of the Nangong Family doesn't doubt Feng Yi, but it's better to confirm it personally.
"This is simple."
Transcending traditional boundaries, Feng Yi quietly manifested a piece of four-dimensional space crystal in his palm, reflecting a dazzling brilliance in the sunlight. The transparent crystal mirror seemed capable of reflecting the scale of space, and he explained to the patriarch that this was the latest invention by Blade Warrior, utilizing the principle of space folding for partial teleportation.
As the crystal burst into splendor, the three of them vanished in an instant...
The scenery before them transformed entirely; it was a lush forest, shocking the Nangong patriarch, who promptly asked Feng Yi, "Young friend, where are we?"
"Mardis's Nawei Forest," Feng Yi continued, saying that if there were doubts, they could investigate in the area; it wasn't far from nearby towns.
Honestly, considering how far-reaching it was, even Nangong Qi felt uncertain.
Until they quickly exited the forest, discovering a town still under construction. After inquiring around, they realized they had traversed such a vast distance from Rekart in an instant. It was truly a miracle.
"Old sir, would this suffice?"
"Yes, yes, it more than suffices."
The old patriarch could not contain his overwhelming joy, speaking incoherently, "Young friend, we'll remember the gratitude we owe to the Nangong Family."
"Haha, you're too kind, sir. Let's prepare now, then."
As Feng Yi spoke, the sparkle in his hand brightened again, and in a flash, they returned to the Nangong Family estate.
The elders around were getting desperate, especially when the patriarch was nowhere to be found. After half an hour of search, suddenly he was back.
After some preparations and his transcendental display, the land along with something as priceless as the Golden Bodhi appeared in an open area in Mardis.
Most family members didn't notice the change in surroundings; they only felt as though the sky had suddenly darkened, for moments ago, the sun was overhead, yet now their shadows stretched long.
Besides, a refreshing air permeated the surroundings, the essence of nature purifying everyone's mind and body with oxygen.
"We have arrived."
With Feng Yi's words, a complex mix of chatter arose around them. People hadn't realized what had happened, merely sensing a slight tremor underfoot, almost imperceptibly.
Feng Yi explained to the patriarch that this place was an open and uninhabited area in Mardis, not far from the city. The reason for choosing this spot was due to Apophis's arrangement and his recommendation of Feng Shui here being excellent.
No need for 998, nor for 98; as soon as this kinship was recognized, this place became the home for the Nangong Family.
No need for further arrangements; as Feng Yi relocated both people and land with his special abilities, costs for house renovations were saved as well.
This was such an enormous favor!
Upon hearing such good news, every member of the family beamed with joy. The patriarch decided to mobilize the entire family immediately, using the most solemn form of the hidden tradition to express heartfelt gratitude to Feng Yi, then proceeding directly to wedding halls to promptly enter bridal chambers. Many elders pitched in ideas, urging the youth to move their luggage quickly; they were already home, so why bother with unnecessary transports?
The surroundings were chaotic, leaving Nangong Qi blushing so much she didn't know where to hide.
Feng Yi felt speechless; this was just a simple request, yet why did it lead directly to bridal chambers?
Indeed, everyone has a love for beauty, and as a righteous gentleman, he didn't mind deepening connections; though not as everyone imagined, just regular in-depth communication between men and women. However, he still had numerous matters to attend to.
Feng Yi tactfully declined the patriarch's kindness and sought out Nangong Qi specifically, "Qi'er, I… need to leave for a while."
Nangong Qi's eyes suddenly dimmed, "What, leaving again? At least take me this time."
"Listen to my explanation, Qi, it's like this…"
With these words, Nangong Qi unwillingly nodded.
Feng Yi felt conflicted inside; he knew well that Nangong Qi was understanding and empathetic, but he truly had pressing matters. Bringing her along would only add a burden, not quite a drag, for she was undoubtedly powerful, but only at a late first-order level.
Considering the era, as average world levels had risen significantly, in this martial-dominated age there were many strong figures. Encountering someone like a Titan Elf Clan spirit would be challenging; thus Feng Yi explained to Nangong Qi that this separation was temporary, lasting anywhere from a few days to several dozens.
Also, he needed to return to the Blaze Corps tonight. With Feng Yi's encouragement, Nangong Qi finally agreed, and in return, Nangong Qi requested to accompany him back to the Blaze Corps.
Feng Yi felt speechless again, pondering why a young lady would want to visit that crew of silly old men.
However, so be it. Seeing no way to dissuade her, Feng Yi reluctantly agreed.
The sky in shades of fiery red, the Blaze Corps camp was quiet. Underneath the setting sun, both walked lightly to the camp's perimeter.
Observing the tranquil camp, Feng Yi chuckled in resignation, "Indeed..."
He subtly hinted to Nangong Qi to prepare herself mentally; this must be their old comrades' new way of greeting.
Nangong Qi's almond eyes widened, slightly nodding, aware of Blaze Corps' renowned strict discipline known for its ironclad fervor; could it break tradition with the former corps leader's arrival?
As her mind conjured flights of fancy, an abrupt gathering call echoed through the camp, replaced by thunderous footsteps shaking the ground. Five minutes, merely five minutes passed, and the corps' armed forces were fully assembled.
Leading the formation was none other than John, who in the twilight's glow, bore tears of excitement and joy reflected in his eyes.
John hurriedly rushed before Feng Yi, saluting sharply, nearly shouting in a hoarse voice, "Comrade Corps Leader, Eden Third Army, at the Mardis Seventh Army, Blaze Corps, Blaze Super Fleet, Blaze Corps fully assembled, awaiting orders."
This… Feng Yi simultaneously returned the crisp salute, "All units dismissed."
"Yes, sir."
With John's order to dismiss transmitted, the entire corps were like a flood receding swiftly.
This unique reception left Feng Yi feeling amused yet bemused; after years apart, they whipped out the corps just like the old days, but am I still a soldier anymore? With such warm hospitality, Feng Yi felt flattered.
As soon as the salutation was dropped, John charged forward without hesitation, as if seeking to fall flat; he already faced enough setbacks and almost didn't survive, so no more tumbles.
Unexpectedly, barely managing with John, a crowd led by Head Wolf Powder Barrel joined in with a rush of brothers.
