Lin Zhan calculated that the Qin Capital squad still had Wang Jia's two younger sisters, meaning Wang Er Zhuang's two cousins. However, these two were the most beloved descendants of the great general Wang Jian, and they simply looked down upon Ying Xuan and Zhang Haoran, those two blockheads.
As for the Shanghai squad, only the elder sister Chen Xin and the younger brother Chen Xin, both technical personnel, remained. He didn't know how Chen Xin's elders had chosen their names; the siblings shared the same name.
Elder sister Chen Xin had been staying with Ling Xiu and the other women, and perhaps she could be a research subject for Old Meng in her free time. After all, a tech-savvy woman paired with a tough guy was quite a perfect match.
As for Chen Xin, the brother-in-law, they had only met a few times. He was always rushing around on various battlefields, collecting data on all sorts of military equipment. He had also been hailed by weapons expert Old Qian as the leader of the next generation of weapons research.
The more Lin Zhan considered it, the more feasible the matter seemed. He then said to the Huo sisters:
"Sisters, what do you think about playing matchmaker between Chen Xin and Old Meng? I feel like this might work."
The Huo sisters were stunned, then excitedly said:
"Boss, this is a great idea! Xin Xin has always liked tall and strong men, and she's had a bit of an interest in Meng Gang, but one is a tech otaku, and the other is a straightforward tough guy, so neither has broken the ice."
Zhang Haoqing also nodded and said, "Then that settles it. As for Chen Xin, he's never around, so his lifelong happiness will have to be up to him."
Lin Zhan nodded and said, "Right, Old Ying said his squad had ten people in total. What about the remaining one? We've never seen them."
Zhang Haoqing and the others exchanged glances and said with difficulty:
"Boss, actually, when the Qin Capital squad was formed, Ying Xuan wasn't the captain. It was his elder brother, Ying Tu, who was the captain."
"About half a year ago in Shangjing, our two squads launched a combined operation against the Ten Thousand Races Church. We didn't expect it to be a trap. Not only was the Ten Thousand Races Church involved, but Japanese warriors also participated. They were aiming to eliminate us, these two seeded squads."
"To save us, Brother Ying Tu sacrificed himself and merged with the Dragon Soul, summoning a Diamond-level Chinese Dragon Soul. Only then were our two squads saved. Although Brother Ying Tu died in battle, our squad cannot be without Brother Ying Tu's name."
Zhang Haoxuan continued his senior disciple's words, saying, "Actually, Man Xuan and Man Xue, meaning Er Zhuang's two cousins, have always liked Brother Ying Tu. This is why none of the brothers pursued the Wang sisters."
Lin Zhan thought for a moment and nodded:
"No wonder none of you opposed my slaughter of the Japanese back then. I really didn't know about this. Haoqing, when Old Bai and Old Xiao return, erect a monument for Brother Ying Tu. He was the first captain of our China squad."
"Old Lin, there's no need. If Big Brother can see us achieve this day, his spirit in heaven will surely be pleased. Besides, even if Big Brother were here, he might not have your ability to lead the brothers so well." Ying Xuan entered with Meng Gang from outside.
Lin Zhan looked at Ying Xuan with a helpless expression and said, "Old Ying, why didn't you tell me about Brother Ying Tu's matter? Do you all think I, Lin Zhan, am petty?"
Ying Xuan shook his head and said, "Brother, everyone knows what kind of person you are. When you take charge, the brothers all obey you. As for Big Brother's matter, I didn't want to mention it, and... "
Ying Xuan stamped his foot and summoned the Chinese Dragon Soul: "Old Lin, take a good look."
Lin Zhan immediately displayed all his stats and mobilized his soul power, which reached 4000, to carefully observe the Chinese Dragon Soul before him.
As Lin Zhan mobilized his entire state, the Four Little Ones instantly appeared by his side, thinking Lin Zhan was in danger. But seeing Lin Zhan staring intently at the Dragon Soul, they also focused their attention on it.
The more Lin Zhan looked, the more his heart sank. Ying Xuan, with his peak Gold strength, had actually summoned a Diamond-level Chinese Dragon Soul.
The first time he saw the Dragon Soul, he could only perceive its solemnity and protective aura. But now, looking at the Dragon Soul, Lin Zhan suddenly had a thought: the Dragon Soul was like an elder brother watching over them.
Xiao Jin swam forward, approached the Dragon Soul, let out a hissing cry, and then said to Lin Zhan in shock:
"Boss, the Dragon Soul says it seems to have a special affection for us, especially Ying Xuan."
Ying Xuan stepped forward and approached the Dragon Soul, saying, "Big Brother, I know you've been protecting me. Don't worry, I will live up to China, live up to the Ying family, and most importantly, live up to your expectations."
Although the Dragon Soul's eyes showed confusion, it still nodded with satisfaction. After letting out a cry, it disappeared.
After the Dragon Soul disappeared, Lin Zhan also withdrew his aura and turned to look at the pale faces of the Huo sisters, saying, "My sisters-in-law, what's wrong?"
Zhang Haoqing said with a wry smile:
"Boss, what level are you at now? If we hadn't used the Golden Light Talismans, Huo Wu and the others would probably be seriously injured by now. Facing you, the three of us couldn't muster the slightest courage to fight."
Lin Zhan was stunned upon hearing this, then looked at Ying Xuan.
Ying Xuan also nodded with a wry smile and said:
"Haoqing is right, Old Lin. If I hadn't summoned the Dragon Soul beforehand, I probably wouldn't have had the courage to fight you. What are you cultivating? This is no longer a suppression of martial arts levels, it's like... yes, it's like a bloodline suppression."
Lin Zhan looked bewildered and said, "Holy crap, have I gone mad?"
He then looked at the Four Little Ones and said, "Did one of you go mad and infect me?"
"Da San Pao"
"Sha Pao Zi"
"Gua Wa Zi"
"Er Bai Wu"
The Four Little Ones gave Lin Zhan a blank look, cursed him one by one, and then ignored his unhappy expression, walking out.
Ying Xuan sighed, patted Lin Zhan on the shoulder, and said, "Old Lin, I think your position as the boss is precarious. It's possible that Xiao Ming will have to take over early."
Zhang Haoqing also chimed in, "Yes, Boss. You're fierce, and we don't blame you. You're reckless, and we can endure it. You're foolish, and we accept it. But if your mind isn't working well, we brothers can't stand by. If it's really not working, hurry and find a replacement."
Zhang Haoxuan and Zhang Haozhe also nodded in agreement.
Lin Zhan looked at them staring at him like he was an idiot, then angrily roared:
"What are you looking at me for? Hurry up and research the matters between your senior brother and Old Ying. All the brothers have found their partners, only these two single dogs are left. It's an embarrassment to our organization if this gets out!"
"Get lost. You guys have already paired everyone up. Who are Hao Ran and I supposed to find? Is this our fault? Besides, we're acting like elder brothers, unlike some people who made arrangements early on and didn't care about their brothers."
Ying Xuan rolled his eyes and said to them.
Zhang Haoxuan's eyes twinkled and he said, "If all else fails, let my senior brother and Old Ying just make do with each other."
