Zhao Ruyue knew that Zhou Yu had cured Wu Wenzhi's illness with the Bian Que Divine Needles.
Therefore, she wasn't surprised by Mayor Wu's respectful attitude towards Zhou Yu. Instead, she found it perfectly reasonable.
However, the two people walking over were a different story.
Without a doubt, the leading woman in tight-fitting clothes, who was exceptionally beautiful, was the renowned female war god – Leng Xue!
And the old man accompanying her must be a high-ranking official in the military, at the very least.
"When did Zhou Yu get to know so many people of noble status?"
Zhao Ruyue was astonished.
She finally understood why this man dared to defy the advice of the club manager and owner, and refused to leave even knowing the female war god was coming.
It turned out he knew the female war god.
Zhao Ruyue secretly observed Zhou Yu, her mind filled with countless questions.
At this moment, Lin Weidong and Leng Xue also arrived.
"Young man, I didn't expect to meet you here. My luck is truly excellent."
Lin Weidong stepped past Leng Xue and greeted him.
Wu Wenzhi, standing nearby, asked curiously, "Elder Lin, you know the young miracle doctor too?"
"Is he the young miracle doctor you mentioned who saved you?"
Lin Weidong's eyes widened.
He had struck gold!
A martial arts seed with extremely high talent, who also understood the long-lost Bian Que Divine Needles!
It was unimaginable that both would be found in one person.
Then this person…
The Dragon Group must take him seriously!
After all, during missions carried out by Dragon Group members, many involved fighting fierce criminals. Even with the most meticulous plans, accidents were inevitable.
Therefore, if there was a skilled doctor in the team, the mortality rate would be minimized!
Lin Weidong couldn't fathom how formidable the team would be if this young man joined the Dragon Group.
A dream configuration!
"Commander Leng!"
Lin Weidong turned to Leng Xue.
It was time for the female war god to step in.
Unexpectedly, Leng Xue stepped forward and said directly, "We meet again."
Lin Weidong: ???
Wu Wenzhi: ???
Zhao Ruyue was equally bewildered.
The female war god Leng Xue really knew Zhou Yu!
This was an explosive piece of news that was hard to believe!
Compared to the shock of the three, Zhou Yu remained extremely calm. He said lightly, "This world is too small. I came here to dine with a friend today and didn't expect to run into you."
The friend he mentioned was naturally Zhao Ruyue, who stood beside him.
Leng Xue heard his words and subtly raised her beautiful eyes, observing Dr. Zhao.
She said nothing, only nodding slightly.
Zhao Ruyue also smiled and nodded her head, acknowledging the greeting.
She dared not utter a single word at this moment.
"Xiao Yu, you and War God Leng knew each other long ago?" Wu Wenzhi asked tentatively.
Lin Weidong's gaze was also fixed on Zhou Yu, afraid of missing any detail.
Zhou Yu smiled and casually said, "We met once before. We don't really know each other, do we? War God?"
"Mm," Leng Xue merely replied.
Truthfully, she didn't know how to explain either.
Since that was the case, she could only follow Zhou Yu's lead.
"Xiao Yu?"
Lin Weidong was greatly confused by Wu Wenzhi's address to Zhou Yu.
Then, Wu Wenzhi explained.
Lin Weidong suddenly understood and took the opportunity to suggest, "In that case, may I, like Mayor Wu, also call you Xiao Yu?"
"Feel free to do so," Zhou Yu replied with a smile.
This elder was significantly older than Wu Wenzhi, so calling him Xiao Yu was perfectly fine.
"Xiao Yu, have you heard of our Dragon Country's Dragon Group?" Lin Weidong asked.
"Of course, I've heard of it, but I've never seen it," Zhou Yu replied.
In fact, judging by the elder's question, he was almost certain that the elder was a member of the Dragon Group, and a high-ranking one at that.
However, as the saying goes, it's better not to expose what you know.
Hearing this.
Lin Weidong continued, "Are you interested in joining the Dragon Group?"
"Well…" Zhou Yu feigned hesitation.
"Actually, I am one of the members of the Dragon Group. When I met you last time, I wanted to invite you to join, but unfortunately, you left too quickly, and I didn't have a chance to explain," Lin Weidong sighed.
He hadn't slept all night because of this matter yesterday.
Fortunately!
He met Zhou Yu again today.
But the latter's response made Lin Weidong disheartened.
"I'm sorry, Elder Lin. I've never considered joining any organization. The Dragon Group is indeed powerful, and your existence is extremely important to Dragon Country. However, I'm used to a free life and don't want to be constrained."
Zhou Yu spoke very earnestly; this was his genuine feeling.
Furthermore, a more critical point was that he was acutely aware that joining the Dragon Group would make him Leng Xue's subordinate!
This was something he could not accept.
"Won't you reconsider?" Lin Weidong was still persistent.
Wu Wenzhi remained silent, choosing not to intervene.
This was Zhou Yu's future, and he didn't want to interfere.
"No need. Everyone has their own aspirations. I believe War God Leng will understand me."
After refusing Lin Weidong again, Zhou Yu turned his gaze to Leng Xue.
Lin Weidong then suddenly realized something.
If he couldn't persuade Zhou Yu, he could only rely on Commander Leng's personal charm.
"Commander Leng!"
Facing Lin Weidong's hint, Leng Xue felt complicated. After a moment of hesitation, she finally spoke, "Zhou Yu, I invite you to join the Dragon Group in the name of a War God. Are you willing?"
This was something she had never said to any newcomer before.
Inviting someone in the name of a War God was already the highest form of invitation.
But Zhou Yu shook his head.
Seeing this.
Leng Xue suspected that Zhou Yu harbored resentment towards her for breaking off their engagement, which was why he refused to join the Dragon Group.
"What's past is past. What good will it do if you dwell on it? If you're refusing to join the Dragon Group because of that matter, then I apologize to you now!"
Leng Xue gritted her teeth and glared at Zhou Yu indignantly.
The fact that the word "apology" came out of her mouth showed the great determination she had made.
This indicated that the Dragon Group truly needed someone like Zhou Yu.
Wu Wenzhi and Lin Weidong again caught the subtle details in Leng Xue's words. In an instant, they exchanged glances, both understanding each other's thoughts.
There was definitely something going on between Zhou Yu and the female war god!
Moreover, Wu Wenzhi specifically glanced at Zhao Ruyue.
"Dr. Zhao is dressed so elegantly today, as if she came out specifically for a date. And her presence here must be with Zhou Yu… Oh my god! Could it be…"
Wu Wenzhi's expression gradually turned stunned as he considered a certain possibility.
The atmosphere at the scene grew increasingly delicate.
Lin Weidong realized the situation was becoming unfavorable and quickly said, "Commander Leng, an urgent operational meeting is about to begin, and we don't have much time. We can discuss the matter of inviting Zhou Yu to join the Dragon Group a few days later. Perhaps we should let it go for today."
He couldn't imagine what might happen if this standoff continued.
"Yes, yes! Dr. Zhao, I'll have to trouble you this time. You and Xiao Yu should leave here first," Wu Wenzhi chimed in.
Zhao Ruyue nodded.
She asked Zhou Yu, "Zhou Yu?"
"Let's go."
This time, Zhou Yu didn't hesitate and stood up immediately.
The reason he stayed at Maple Leaf Club was primarily because he didn't want to leave then. Now, since he had angered Leng Xue, that was an additional bonus.
Furthermore, since both Lin Weidong and Wu Wenzhi had spoken, it would be inappropriate for him to stay any longer.
