Who Is That Guy

After a brief understanding, Xie Yuyan's initial wariness gradually dissipated as Ye Feng removed his mask.

"How is it? Is my cooking passable?"

Watching Xie Yuyan finish the last bite of noodles, Ye Feng stood up to take the dishes and prepare to clean up.

"It's... not bad."

Ye Feng had expected another cold look from Xie Yuyan, but to his surprise, she actually complimented his cooking.

"Oh?"

Ye Feng hadn't anticipated that Xie Yuyan would respond to him.

"What, now you know I'm not a bad person?"

"I'm sorry... I... I am grateful to you, but I will still monitor your every move!"

Xie Yuyan paused mid-sentence, then continued with the rest of her words.

What is wrong with me? Why would I instinctively want to apologize for my previous rude behavior? It's so strange!

Xie Yuyan shook her head, trying to rid herself of these emotions that were affecting her judgment.

What is wrong with this guy? Why do I feel an inexplicable urge to get closer to him? What is going on?

"Ye Feng, what exactly are you?"

"That's none of your concern. We don't need to have any further interaction. You can leave once you're healed."

"......"

If this were before, Xie Yuyan would have been overjoyed. But after spending just a short time with Ye Feng, hearing him say this personally made her heart feel chaotic, and it felt like her chest was blocked, making it hard to breathe.

What is wrong with me? Why do I have such strange feelings?

"If you don't say anything, I'll take it as you agreeing. First, this is my house, so you'll have to make do with sleeping on the sofa. No complaints, right?"

"It doesn't matter where I sleep."

"Not bad, quite aware of your situation. If you need anything, you can call me. I have other things to do now."

After washing the dishes, Ye Feng dried his wet hands and glanced at Xie Yuyan, whose clothes were torn. Xie Yuyan was also giving him a strange look.

"I don't have any women's clothes, so tell me what style you like, and I'll get you some when I have time."

"Do you treat everyone like this?"

"Like what?"

"So... charitable?"

"No, no, I'm not some saint. I'm just following my own heart."

"So saving me was voluntary?"

"Actually, it was forced."

"Tch..."

Xie Yuyan rolled her eyes on the sofa. She didn't expect Ye Feng to be as stubborn as her.

Saving someone is saving someone. Why say you were forced? Wouldn't you die if you didn't save me? Who would believe that...

"Remember, don't get your wound wet. You can apply the medicine yourself; I've left it on the table."

After everything was prepared, Ye Feng headed back to his bedroom to check his task rewards. He had been holding off for almost a whole night.

"Thank you."

"Oh, now you know how to say thank you."

Seeing Ye Feng give her an incredulous look, Xie Yuyan didn't bother to argue with him. She pulled the blanket over herself and curled up on the sofa.

Although the blanket was thin, Xie Yuyan still felt warm. The surroundings became quiet as Ye Feng disappeared, and usually, the quieter it was, the more cautious Xie Yuyan would be. But now, she suddenly felt a wave of drowsiness.

"Strange... no... I can't sleep! How can I sleep in such an unfamiliar environment..."

"Zzz... Zzz..."

......

"Raise points... What skill should I upgrade with this?"

Lying in bed, Ye Feng was intently staring at the system interface. After receiving the reward, besides a new firearm skill, there was also the so-called raise points.

After the system's explanation, Ye Feng understood that raise points could upgrade his skills by one level, such as from intermediate to advanced, which is the top level.

"Hmm... this seems quite useful. It's the first time I've seen such a thing."

Looking at his current skills, Ye Feng didn't rush to choose which one to upgrade but decided to save the raise points for now.

"Who knows how easy it is to get these points. It's better to save them for now and see how things go. Maybe they'll come in handy one day."

After exiting the system interface, Ye Feng suddenly noticed that his original three tasks had increased by one. Upon closer inspection, it read: Get closer to Xie Yuyan to learn more information (details in the compendium progress).

"Huh? Xie Yuyan is in the compendium?"

Ye Feng quickly opened the compendium and found that one of the pages, which had previously been gibberish, had now turned into Xie Yuyan's information panel.

[Name: Xie Yuyan]

[Identity: Top Assassin of the Dark Palace]

[Age: 20]

[Progress: 9%]

......

This compendium seems to be collecting information about all the people I've abducted, but what's the point? What extra reward will there be when the progress reaches 100%?

After thinking for a long time, Ye Feng couldn't figure it out. He briefly browsed through it and then decided to go to sleep. Now that there was a new task, he needed to get some rewards from Xie Yuyan to make up for it. Seeing her identity, Ye Feng felt a bit worried.

Dark Palace assassin organization? Hopefully, it doesn't involve me; I don't want to live every day with the threat of being assassinated by countless assassins.

......

"Lao Li, you've had a lot of business lately."

At another gathering, Su Wanli approached Li Jing and greeted him.

“How is it? Is your daughter, Mu Cheng, feeling better?”

"She's much better. Luckily, nothing serious happened."

Li Jing swirled the wine in his glass, seemingly lost in thought.

"Was it you who deliberately told Yuxin?"

"Yes, they have the best relationship."

"That explains it. No wonder my usually obedient daughter was so unusually rebellious today. Luckily, someone followed her and told me she went to the hospital; otherwise, I would have been scared out of my wits."

Su Wanli took the wine handed to him by the waiter and drank it in one gulp.

“By the way, Lao Li, do you remember the day Mu Cheng was kidnapped?”

"Any leads?"

"No, they're not the same group. We've tried everything, but we haven't gotten any useful information."

"It seems this kidnapper is declaring war on me."

"Oh? What do you mean?"

“Think about it. After capturing Mu Cheng, that person didn't immediately demand anything. They just held her and dealt with some troublemakers in the process. It's clear they have another motive.”

The shrewd Li Jing didn't realize that he was completely out of the loop this time. He was still using various methods to search for the kidnapper's whereabouts.

Well, luckily, that kid was there, so we can relax a bit about Mu Cheng.

"Who?"

Su Wanli suddenly caught a keyword and repeated it, focusing on the "kid" mentioned by Li Jing.

"Who is that kid?"
