Federation Northern District, the interstellar city.
Ye Yu gazed at the large hollow sphere shimmering with metallic luster as it spun continuously, finally letting out a sigh of relief. This was Ye Yu's first time leading a team in combat along the border alone. Although he had managed to eliminate the remnants of the Wavebreaker Legion, he had also lost a Starship in the process. If he were to encounter any other hostile forces at this moment, Ye Yu doubted he could escape unscathed.
A silver ship, resembling a droplet of water, sliced through the dark expanse and flew towards Ye Yu. Just as the interstellar city came into view, he received a message from it: Stand by!
This silver rapid-response ship was there to relay the message. Although quantum communication technology had long been established, for certain sensitive information, it was still customary for people to deliver messages in person.
At this moment, the distance between them was not great; the silver ship did not accelerate but approached Ye Yu's Fleet at a normal cruising speed. Ye Yu felt no need to do anything and closed his eyes to rest.
The practice of resting one's mind originated from the Blue Seal Empire, which believed that there existed an invisible spiritual energy within humans that supported their continuous evolution. In daily life, this spiritual energy could also help strengthen one's physique. Influenced by Blue Seal culture and having practiced mental techniques himself, Ye Yu naturally closed his eyes to rest whenever possible.
After about half an hour, Ye Yu's ears suddenly twitched lightly, and at that moment, his eyes snapped open. In that instant, a brilliant glint flashed across Ye Yu's eyes, giving him an aura that felt piercingly intense. However, this sensation was fleeting; soon after, Ye Yu appeared just like any ordinary young man without much distinction.
"Congratulations, Captain Ye, on achieving another great feat!"
At that moment, a melodious voice tinged with maturity reached Ye Yu's ears. He felt a surge of joy; encountering an acquaintance in this remote border city was certainly something to be happy about.
"What brings you here, Sister Fei?" Ye Yu initially intended to address her by her official title but quickly remembered their familiarity and decided to be less formal.
The newcomer wore a tight-fitting spacesuit typical for interstellar crew members, accentuating her graceful figure. However, her long hair had been cut into a shoulder-length bob, giving her an air of spirited confidence.
"You've accomplished such a significant achievement! All factions are watching how Silver Dragon City will respond! The city lord is busy with affairs and couldn't come personally, so naturally, I came as your sister to represent."
The person who had arrived was Long Ruofei, now the head of Withered Source Star. However, standing beside her was a young man, his eyes sparkling as he looked at Ye Yu.
"Then I wonder who Mr. Qin Guan represents by coming here?" Ye Yu asked with a half-smile, glancing at the young man, who was none other than Qin Guan, someone he had fought alongside before. Although he had guessed some of the circumstances, he wouldn't pry further unless the other party revealed more.
Upon hearing Ye Yu's words, Qin Guan turned his gaze toward Long Ruofei, seemingly inquiring about something. However, Long Ruofei merely shot him a light glance and smiled as she said, "I, Long Ruofei, naturally need a capable bodyguard when I come to the border." Her smile added a touch of warmth to the metallic hall.
Ye Yu smiled and nodded at Qin Guan before turning serious as he addressed Long Ruofei. "Sister Fei, if there's something you need to discuss, please go ahead." With only Ye Yu and Hulk in the Command Hall before, there was no reason to hide anything now that Long Ruofei and Qin Guan had arrived.
Long Ruofei nodded at Ye Yu's words. "This is serious, so I won't beat around the bush! I've come because I've received reliable information that you are currently the highest bounty target on the Assassin's List. In other words, your situation is extremely dangerous; you could lose your life at any moment!"
"What’s going on? I already dealt with an assassination attempt in this border star city; why is this still not over?" Ye Yu felt a jolt of alarm as he recalled the recent assassination attempt. If it hadn't been for his sudden surge in Mental Power back then, he might not have had the chance to stand here now.
Long Ruofei frowned slightly, as if recalling something. After a five-second pause, she continued, "About three days ago, the intelligence department of Silver Dragon Guard received a piece of information—a hunting order. The only detail in this order is to take your life!"
Seeing Long Ruofei's expression made it clear to Ye Yu that this matter was far from simple; otherwise, she wouldn't have come personally. The secret buried deep within Ye Yu's heart had always been a thorn in his side.
"Could it be exposed?" Ye Yu felt a surge of panic but maintained a facade of calmness as he asked, "Do you know who wants to kill me?"
"We haven't figured that out yet. The hunting order has been issued globally, and we're still sifting through the initial data. However, the volume of information is overwhelming; the intelligence agency in Silver Dragon City is currently focusing only on information related to Silver Dragon City. This situation arose suddenly, and there are complications regarding investigation permissions. However, once my brother learned about this matter, he immediately arranged for me to come and get you.
This area is still within Silver Dragon City's jurisdiction. Those assassins who have been out of sight for a long time would have to think twice about offending Silver Dragon City; even if they manage to claim the bounty, they must consider whether they will live long enough to spend it!"
At this point, a glint of coldness flashed in Long Ruofei's eyes. Silver Dragon City was notorious for its protective nature throughout the Federation. Members of Silver Dragon Guard were known for their unity and would relentlessly pursue any non-combat casualties until justice was served.
Hearing Long Ruofei's words, Ye Yu felt a warmth in his heart. After all, he was still a young man not yet twenty, and such care, which he hadn't experienced in a long time, naturally moved him deeply.
"It's fine, Sister Fei. I'm not that easy to deal with either. If any assassin dares to come, I'll make sure they won't return," Ye Yu said confidently, puffing out his chest slightly.
Upon hearing Ye Yu's words, Qin Guan suddenly blurred and then appeared less than a meter in front of Ye Yu.
"Do you think you would have had time to dodge if I had just tried to kill you?" Qin Guan asked, raising an eyebrow as he looked at Ye Yu.
"You... you're faster than before!" Ye Yu exclaimed, momentarily stunned before quickly realizing that Qin Guan's ability was speed. He could clearly feel that Qin Guan's speed had increased another level. Under such a swift attack, if Ye Yu hadn't been fully committed, he would have been facing certain death!
