Even though Leng Xue was the Goddess of War, with an extraordinary status, she was ultimately still the young lady of the Leng family in Di City.
Unless she could completely detach herself from her family.
Otherwise, her future marriage would be difficult to escape the family's influence.
From this, it could be seen that being a member of a prominent family had its pros and cons, and there was no choice.
Moreover, with Leng Xue's current status, her marriage involved too many parties. Not only the Leng family, but even the official Dragon Country had to be extremely cautious.
"Uncle Lin, thank you for your trust, but the relationship between Su Yuyan, myself, and Dr. Zhao is not what you think," Zhou Yu sighed.
He had no idea that Lin Weidong was currently contemplating the possibility of Leng Xue and him developing a romantic relationship.
Lin Weidong shook off his unrealistic thoughts and guessed, "It's an engagement, isn't it?"
Based on the information obtained from intelligence personnel, although it was not confirmed, Zhou Yu and Su Yuyan, Zhao Ruyue had a relationship of betrothed partners.
But Lin Weidong could not help but think in that direction.
Because only this result would be the most reasonable.
Otherwise, he could not understand why Zhou Yu would be involved with the Su family, a second-rate family.
"Yes, it is indeed an engagement. Actually, Su Yuyan and I had a childhood betrothal," Zhou Yu admitted.
There was no need to hide these matters from Lin Weidong.
Zhou Yu simply admitted it generously.
"Then since you got married to the girl from the Su family, why haven't you registered your marriage with Zhao Ruyue from the Zhao family?" Lin Weidong asked curiously.
The laws of Dragon Country were not rigid about monogamy.
As long as both parties were willing, either the man or the woman could marry up to ten wives or take in ten husbands.
But this situation was also quite rare.
It basically only appeared in some families now.
If Zhou Yu was willing, he could have registered his marriage with both Su Yuyan and Zhao Ruyue simultaneously, as long as the two girls didn't mind.
"Uncle Lin, I'm only in my twenties. It's too soon to get married to two wives. Moreover, I have no emotional foundation with them, so it's not like we can just get married. As for Su Yuyan, the situation was complicated at the time, and I can't explain it in detail now," Zhou Yu said ambiguously.
He naturally would not inform Lin Weidong about his engagement with Leng Xue.
If the latter knew, what then?
So, he definitely could not say it.
"It's alright, as long as you can handle it yourself."
Lin Weidong understood what Zhou Yu meant and did not insist further.
He only regretted not having a granddaughter, only a grandson. Otherwise, he would definitely try to arrange for his granddaughter and Zhou Yu to be together.
"By the way, where is the Goddess of War? Wasn't she supposed to come today? Why haven't I seen her yet?"
Zhou Yu quickly changed the subject.
When Lin Weidong heard him mention Leng Xue, his eyes narrowed.
Could it be that this kid had taken a liking to Commander Leng?
"Uncle Lin, please don't misunderstand! I'm just purely curious, I have no other intentions!"
Seeing this, Zhou Yu knew what Lin Weidong was thinking and quickly explained.
Lin Weidong was currently concerned about his marriage, so it was inevitable that he would have some strange thoughts.
"Xiao Yu, I haven't said anything yet, and you're already so eager to explain. Could it be that you really have a tiny bit of an idea about Commander Leng?"
Lin Weidong smirked.
Zhou Yu was usually quite calm when facing anything, but when it came to matters of love and romance, he would become different.
This made Lin Weidong find it very interesting.
It seemed that this martial arts genius was not indifferent to everything.
Lin Weidong now knew at least that Zhou Yu would show a hint of embarrassment and shyness when discussing relationships.
Of course, this was normal!
If he were indifferent to even this, Lin Weidong would suspect that Zhou Yu might have the soul of a sixty or seventy-year-old man, and that his actual age was even greater than his own.
"Uncle Lin, don't tease me. How could I dare to have improper thoughts about the Goddess of War? Besides, I'm not worthy of her."
That woman had already proposed to break off the engagement with him. In retrospect, Zhou Yu was indeed not worthy of her.
At least, that's how Leng Xue saw it.
"Your future is bright, young man, have confidence in yourself!"
Lin Weidong saw that Zhou Yu was a little dejected, unaware that it was his deliberate pretense. He continued to comfort him, "With your potential, your future achievements in martial arts might even surpass that of a Celestial Master from Dragon Tiger Sect. By then, Commander Leng will have to look at you with new eyes."
"Thank you, Uncle Lin. I will work hard," Zhou Yu said sincerely.
Lin Weidong's smile grew even richer.
Zhou Yu's attitude pleased him greatly.
But in reality, Zhou Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
At least at this juncture, Lin Weidong could not know that he and Leng Xue were engaged.
At the same time, outside the tent.
After Zhou Yu and Lin Weidong left, the family retainers also returned to their assigned accommodations.
A martial arts genius in his twenties, comparable to a Celestial Master from Dragon Tiger Sect!
Unfortunately, this rising star had reached the post-natal dark energy realm at this age only after taking some kind of medication.
Without that medicine, would Zhou Yu still have had this opportunity?
The retainers of various families believed the answer was no!
Because they felt that if Zhou Yu were truly a martial arts prodigy who surpassed Li Qingfeng, then he should have been able to surpass him even without heavenly treasures.
Since Zhou Yu took medication, it indicated that he himself believed he could not reach that height.
In terms of mindset, he had already lost!
"Young Master Zhang, the person you know is amazing. He actually defeated the newly promoted post-natal dark energy expert in our Linggu City... He looks so young, he must not be over twenty-eight years old. My heavens, how could someone reach this level before the age of thirty!"
Ouyang Feng stood on the armored off-road vehicle, looking at Zhang Shaohua beside him with a face full of shock.
But he found that the latter's expression was extremely grim.
"He is actually a post-natal dark energy expert!"
When the facts were laid out before his eyes, no matter how unwilling Zhang Shaohua was to believe it, it was useless.
Elder Zhong was crippled by Zhou Yu, and he had even thought that Zhong Lao was careless, which led to that outcome.
After all, Zhong Lao was a martial artist who had broken through with the resources of the Zhang family, not by his own strength alone.
There was still a significant gap between such martial artists and those who broke through on their own.
If Zhou Yu were at the peak of post-natal bright energy, coupled with a decent cultivation technique, defeating Zhong Lao would not be impossible.
Unfortunately...
All of this was because Zhang Shaohua had thought too simply.
Zhou Yu was a genuine post-natal dark energy expert!
This guy's martial arts strength had reached a level that Zhang Shaohua could not reach!
"Post-natal dark energy, do I have any hope of breaking through in this lifetime?"
Zhang Shaohua could not help but ask himself, but he found that he had no confidence at all.
Even though Zhong Lao had reached the post-natal dark energy realm through medication, he was still considered quite talented among all martial artists.
Otherwise, he would not have been able to reach the peak of post-natal bright energy and attempt to break through to dark energy.
When calculating it this way...
The gap between Zhang Shaohua and Zhou Yu was even greater.
Even if the latter were only at the peak of post-natal bright energy, it would be enough for Zhang Shaohua to be left far behind.
