After the meeting, Han Feng invited the generals present to dine in a private room at the restaurant.

During the meal, "Old Fang, I heard your daughter awakened an SS-rank talent as a martial artist?"

"Ah, you mean my disappointing daughter? Not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning." Though Fang Wei said it was not worth mentioning, his face had already bloomed into a chrysanthemum-like grin.

"My boy just turned sixteen this year and has awakened an S-class talent ability. How about we match the two of them up?"

Match them up? That little girl probably already had someone in her heart. If he tried to pair her up blindly, she would probably fight him to the death. "Ah, Old Yuan, my daughter already has someone in her heart. If I tried to match her up carelessly, that little ancestor would turn the house upside down. I just gave her a few days off, and she immediately rushed off to Mountain City."

The man called Old Yuan was none other than the Chief of the Southern Military District, Divine-level Expert Yuan Feihong.

"Oh? The person your girl has taken a fancy to must have pretty decent talent too, right?"

The moment Old Yuan said that, Fang Wei's face darkened. Thinking of that boy his daughter had asked him to pull strings for, Fang Wei's head began to ache. Lin Hao, awakened with an E-class talent Lightning elemental ability. He still remembered the veins throbbing on his forehead when his Adjutant handed him Lin Hao's file.

"Decent my ass. I had to ask the director of the personnel department at Shancheng Martial University to get that brat admitted through special recommendation. I have no idea what kind of bewitching soup Lin Hao fed my girl. An E-class Lightning elemental ability user—how much of a future could he possibly have?"

"E... E-class talent?" Yuan Feihong stared at Fang Wei in disbelief, then said solemnly, "Old Fang, you can't joke around with your daughter's future. E-class talents are a dime a dozen in our military district. How could an E-class blockhead be worthy of your girl?"

Fang Wei gave a bitter smile. "Sigh, it's not like you don't know me. There's nothing I can do." Everyone in the military district knew that Fang Wei was a famous daughter doting fool.

E-class talent, Lightning elemental ability, Lin Hao, Mountain City? Could it be?

Jiang Tianhai, who had been listening from the side for quite a while, suddenly had a bad feeling. Could the Lin Hao they were talking about be Lin Hao from Shancheng Martial University? Old Fang had pulled strings to get Lin Hao into Shancheng Martial University? Didn't that mean Old Fang's daughter had known Lin Hao all along? No, if that was really the case, then my Weiwei was in danger.

Jiang Tianhai's mind raced wildly. "Old Fang, you can't let your daughter do whatever she wants. This isn't some trivial matter. It concerns the reputation of the Fang Family. An SS-rank talent martial artist marrying an E-class blockhead—wouldn't that sound awful if word got out?" Jiang Tianhai swiftly chimed in.

"Exactly. Old Fang, you can't spoil your daughter when it comes to major matters." Yuan Feihong casually added.

Fang Wei's eyes suddenly lit up when he saw Jiang Tianhai. "Old Jiang, isn't your daughter the Principal at Shancheng Martial University? Have her keep an eye on that Lin Hao for me."

"No problem. I'll call my girl in a moment." Jiang Tianhai hurriedly agreed.

Little did they know, the two people they were discussing were currently strolling through the mall while licking ice cream.

"Idiot, do you think Grandma would like this sweater?"

"Idiot, what do you think of this set of cosmetics? It should suit your Aunt perfectly."

"Idiot, this little princess dress is so cute. Your Sister would definitely look beautiful in it."

Lin Hao wore an awkward expression. "Yaoyao, you're just visiting my home. Do you really need to buy so much?" Bags hung from every part of his body.

"That won't do. It wouldn't be right to visit your home empty-handed for the first time."

Lin Hao's face darkened as he looked at the bags all over himself. Yaoyao, you call this empty-handed? If you keep buying things, you'll probably empty out the whole mall.

The two kept shopping until the sun was nearly setting before they finally arrived at Lin Hao's home.

Lin Hao gently knocked on the door. The one who opened it was his Aunt, Lin Yueyue. "Aunt, I'm back."

Seeing Lin Hao covered in bags and packages, Lin Yueyue was stunned for a moment. "Brat, why are you back?" Only after asking did she notice the breathtakingly beautiful girl standing behind him.

Lin Yueyue froze on the spot once again.

This brat had only been at university for a little over two months, yet he had already brought home such a beautiful girl.

"Aunt, this is my friend, Fang Yao. She's visiting our home today."

Fang Yao quickly stepped forward. "Hello, Aunt. My name is Fang Yao. I'm Lin Hao's friend."

Seeing that his Aunt was still standing there in a daze, Lin Hao coughed lightly. "Ahem, Aunt, aren't you going to let us in?"

Only then did Lin Yueyue come back to her senses. "Oh my, Fang Yao, right? Come in, quickly." Then she shot Lin Hao a glare.

Aunt, why are you glaring at me? Lin Hao was completely baffled. He then followed them inside. "Brat, why didn't you tell the family in advance that you were bringing your girlfriend home?" Lin Yueyue muttered softly into Lin Hao's ear. Lin Hao spread his hands. "I was too busy. I forgot."

That left Lin Yueyue thoroughly choked up again.

Grandma, who was cooking in the kitchen, also heard the voices. "Yueyue, who's here?"

"Mom, Xiao Hao is back, and he brought a friend." Lin Yueyue called toward the kitchen. Before long, Grandma came out from the kitchen. She was about to speak when she saw Lin Hao, but then she noticed Fang Yao beside him. "Oh my, this girl is truly beautiful. This brat doesn't study properly at school—he's only been there two months, and he's already brought me a granddaughter-in-law." Grandma was overjoyed. The Lin Family could finally carry on the family line.

"Hello, Grandma. My name is Fang Yao. I'm Lin Hao's friend." Fang Yao's little face was bright red as she politely greeted Grandma. It was her first time visiting Lin Hao's home. Who could she fool by saying she was not nervous?

"Good, good, good. Hurry and sit down. I'm still busy in the kitchen. Yueyue, keep Fang Yao company. I'm still cooking over here, and we'll eat together soon." Grandma was in an exceptionally good mood.

Lin Hao and the others sat on the sofa in the living room. "Aunt, where's Xiao Rou?" Lin Hao looked all around and found it strange that he could not see Lin Xiaorou. "Her? She didn't have class today, so she's sleeping in her room. She should be waking up about now. Perfect—go wake her up."

Lin Hao quietly came to Lin Xiaorou's room and saw her hugging a cute large bear plushie, sleeping soundly. Mischief immediately rose in his heart. He stepped forward and pinched Lin Xiaorou's chubby little cheeks. "Xiao Rou, wake up! Your brother is back!"

"Brother..." Lin Xiaorou murmured as she opened her hazy eyes. "Brother, you're back." She was obviously still half asleep, muttering softly. But in the next instant, Lin Xiaorou's eyes flew wide as she stared at Lin Hao in disbelief. "Brother!!!" She immediately threw herself into Lin Hao's arms. Her big eyes curved into crescents in an instant. "Brother's back!" Lin Hao lovingly rubbed Xiao Rou's head. "Come on, it's almost time to eat." Then he scooped Lin Xiaorou up and carried her toward the living room.

When Lin Hao reached the living room, he saw Fang Yao chatting with Lin Yueyue, Fang Yao's little face still flushed red. Xiao Rou, meanwhile, stared with curious wide eyes. Why was there such a beautiful big sister in the house?

Xiao Rou climbed down from Lin Hao's arms, then padded adorably over to Fang Yao. She examined Fang Yao with curious wide eyes. "Big Sister, my name is Lin Xiaorou. You're so pretty." Fang Yao immediately took a liking to Xiao Rou when she saw her. "Hello, Xiao Rou. You're very pretty too."

"Are you my brother's Girlfriend?" Xiao Rou's shocking question instantly left all three people present frozen in place. Fang Yao did not know how to answer, and her little face immediately turned crimson. Lin Yueyue silently gave her adorable niece a huge thumbs-up. "Xiao Rou, I didn't spoil you for nothing. When it matters, you really step up."
