The next morning after Nightingale woke up, just as the sky was turning pale, Lu Ye quietly left Taoyuan Manor.

He drove the "Night Owl", a specially modified stealth battleship, across the sky like a ghost, rushing towards the outskirts of the chaotic star field.

This battleship is Lu Ye's treasure. Not only is it incredibly fast, it is also equipped with the most advanced stealth system that can avoid detection by most radars.

Inside the bridge, Lu Ye sat in the driver's seat, his slender fingers moving rapidly on the control panel.

He activated a special scanning device that could detect abnormal energy fluctuations. He had prepared it specifically for this mission.

The "Night Owl" is like a cheetah lurking in the darkness, silently approaching the chaotic star field.

Lu Ye's peach blossom eyes were fixed on the screen, not missing any suspicious signal.

His mission this time was to search for dark energies similar to those that controlled Nightingale and find their source.

Lu Ye knew that this mission was very dangerous. The chaotic star field was full of all kinds of people. If he was not careful, he might be doomed.

But he didn't care, he just wanted to do something for Rosie, even if it was just a small thing.

Ever since Kyle returned, Lu Ye felt like an outsider. Seeing Luo Xi and her friends being so close, he felt very uncomfortable.

He knew that he was not as good as Kyle, Fan Xiao and Ling Yuan, but he didn't want to give up just like that.

He wanted to prove himself, to prove that he was also capable of protecting Rosie and their home.

At the same time, on the training ground of Taoyuan Manor, Fan Xiao was sweating profusely and undergoing crazy training.

He found Ling Yuan and asked for a combat simulation. He wanted to improve his strength as quickly as possible.

Although Ling Yuan usually likes to bicker with Fan Xiao, he is never vague at critical moments.

He agreed to Fan Xiao's request, and the two had a fierce duel on the training ground.

Ling Yuan used his mental power to construct realistic illusions, making Fan Xiao feel as if he was on a real battlefield.

Fan Xiao relied on his extraordinary speed and wind ability to rush left and right in the illusion, looking for Ling Yuan's flaws.

The two figures crossed each other on the training ground, causing gusts of wind, and the scene was very intense.

"Too slow!" Ling Yuan easily dodged Fan Xiao's wind blade. He couldn't help but yell, "Can you be more serious?"

Ling Yuan chuckled, a hint of amusement flashing in his red eyes behind his gold-rimmed glasses. "This isn't a real battle, why are you so anxious?"

"I..." Fan Xiao was speechless. He knew Ling Yuan was right, but he just couldn't control himself.

He wanted to become stronger so badly that he almost went crazy.

Ling Yuan looked at Fan Xiao's anxious look and sighed softly.

He put aside his joking thoughts and began to guide Fanxiao seriously.

"You're very fast, but your attacks are too simple and easy to predict."

"Your wind ability should not only be used for attack, but also for defense and to confuse the enemy."

"You have to learn to control your emotions and not let anger get the better of you."

Ling Yuan's voice echoed in the training ground, and every word was clearly heard by Fan Xiao.

As Fan Xiao listened to Ling Yuan's guidance, the irritability in his heart gradually subsided.

He began to try to change his fighting style, no longer blindly pursuing speed and strength, but focusing more on skills and strategy.

As time passed, Fanxiao's progress became obvious.

Although he still couldn't defeat Ling Yuan, he was able to cause some trouble for Ling Yuan.

"Not bad, you've made progress." Ling Yuan looked at the breathless Fan Xiao and gave him a rare compliment.

Fan Xiao grinned, revealing two sharp little fangs. "Of course I am. I want to be the strongest man!"

"The strongest?" Ling Yuan raised an eyebrow. "Are you sure?"

"Of course!" Fan Xiao said without hesitation, "I will definitely become stronger than my uncle!"

"Oh?" Ling Yuan's eyes flashed with a hint of amusement, "Then you have to work harder."

"I will!" Fan Xiao clenched his fists, his eyes determined.

"Hey, you two, that's enough." Rosie's voice came from not far away.

The two turned around and saw Rosie holding Caesar, standing at the edge of the training ground.

"Xixi, why are you here?" Fan Xiao hurried over and asked with concern, "Did Caesar bother you?"

Luo Xi shook her head and said with a smile:

"No, Caesar is very well behaved." Rosie smiled and shook her head, her gentle gaze falling on the little black dragon in her arms.

She walked over to Fan Xiao and gently wiped the sweat from his forehead. Her fingertips touched his firm muscles with a subtle touch of attachment. "Don't train too hard. Your health is more important."

"Yeah." Fan Xiao nodded obediently, like a large dog with its fur stroked, enjoying Luo Xi's tenderness, his ice-blue eyes filled with tenderness.

"You guys chat first, I'll go find Xingyu." Ling Yuan coughed lightly, left after saying a few words.

He didn't want to be a light bulb here, and he didn't want to see Fan Xiao's smug face. How... childish.

"Wait, Lingyuan, I want to come too." Luo Xi hurriedly called him, put Caesar in Fanxiao's arms, and quickly followed Lingyuan's footsteps.

The Taoyuan Manor medical room was filled with the faint fragrance of plants and trees.

Xingyu lay quietly on the special treatment table, with its huge white wings drooping weakly. The originally holy light was now stained by patches of charred marks, which looked particularly shocking.

Luo Qian carefully used her wood-based abilities to channel gentle vitality, repairing Xingyu's wounds bit by bit. Emerald green light flowed across Xingyu's wings, moistening the dry land like spring rain.

Ling Yuan stood aside, observing quietly. He pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses, narrowing his red eyes slightly behind the lenses.

Not right.

Logically speaking, with Xingyu's self-healing ability and the assistance of Luo Xi's wood-based abilities, these injuries should have healed long ago.

But now, Xingyu's recovery speed is extremely slow, and there seems to be some kind of... weak energy fluctuations remaining around those charred wounds.

That feeling is very familiar, yet a little different.

"Xingyu, how do you feel?" Luo Xi asked softly, with a hint of worry in her tone.

Xingyu slowly opened his golden vertical pupils and shook his head weakly to indicate that he was fine.

Luo Xi felt very distressed when she saw him like this. She knew that Xingyu must be enduring the pain.

As night falls, Taoyuan Manor is shrouded in silence.

There was only a dim bedside lamp on in Rosie's room.

"Kyle, Xingyu's injury..." Luo Xi sat beside the bed and spoke softly, with a hint of uneasiness in her tone, "I always feel that something is wrong."

Kyle sat on the sofa, his black armor gleaming with a cold metallic sheen under the dim light. He was silent for a moment before he slowly spoke, "I'll check him out again tomorrow."

Rosie nodded and said nothing more. She knew Kyle must have his own plans.

The next morning, sunlight shone through the mist and fell on a desolate asteroid on the outskirts of the chaotic star field.

The "Night Owl" hovered quietly above the asteroid, its hull blending into the surrounding environment and becoming almost unnoticeable.

Lu Ye sat in the driver's seat, his peach blossom eyes fixed on the screen. On the screen, a faint red light was flickering continuously.

"Found it..." He whispered to himself, with a smile on his lips.

That was the fluctuation of dark energy. Although it was very weak, it could not escape the detection of the "Night Owl".

He carefully controlled the warship and slowly approached the location of the light spot.

As the distance got closer, Lu Ye discovered that there were some...traces of artificial buildings on the desolate asteroid.

Most of those buildings have collapsed, leaving only some ruins, but it can still be seen that there was once civilization here.

Lu Ye's heartbeat quickened slightly. He had a premonition that he might have discovered something... extraordinary.

At the same time, in the medical room of Taoyuan Manor.

Kyle stood beside Xingyu with a serious expression.

He stretched out his hand, and a ball of black energy condensed from his fingertips. That energy, like the black energy remaining around Xingyu's wound, came from the same source, but it was purer and more powerful.

He slowly brought the ball of black energy closer to Xingyu's wound.

Then, in Luo Xi's surprised eyes, the ball of black energy actually began to... devour the remaining black energy around Xingyu's wound.

"This..." Luo Xi widened her eyes, looking at the scene in disbelief.

Kyle didn't explain, but just focused on controlling the black energy.

He discovered that there was still a trace of... extremely weak, but extremely stubborn dark energy left in Xingyu's body.

This energy, unlike the ones he had absorbed before, seemed... more active.

Noon, Taoyuan Manor Restaurant.

The atmosphere at the dinner table was somewhat solemn.

"A special kind of dark energy remains within Xingyu's body," Kyle said slowly, breaking the silence. "This energy originates from the same source as the energy that controls Nightingale, but... it's more 'advanced'."
