It was just that after hearing Qin Lin say this, Ye Feng's expression darkened at once.
"Qin Lin, you know how I feel about you. I wanted to keep waiting for you, but my parents can't wait any longer. My feelings for you have never changed," Ye Feng hurriedly explained.
At his words, disgust appeared in Qin Lin's eyes.
Wu Jiang frowned as well. Could Ye Feng really say something like that without feeling ashamed?
As a man, blaming his family was downright pathetic.
"Uncle, you're already married. Saying something like that is really irresponsible toward your wife and family, you know?" Xu Qing was stunned by his words.
"Shut up. What makes you think you have the right to talk to me?" Ye Feng snapped.
Xu Qing pursed his lips. "What kind of qualifications do I need to talk to you? Even the president isn't as full of himself as you are."
"What do you mean? Say that again." Ye Feng glared at Xu Qing, his eyes filled with jealousy and resentment.
In his mind, Xu Qing had stolen Qin Lin from him. Otherwise, he would definitely still have had a chance.
"Ye Feng, I should be the one asking you that. What do you mean?" Qin Lin's expression turned cold, and a chill radiated from her.
Pointing at Xu Qing, Ye Feng was consumed by jealousy. "Qin Lin, is this really the kind of guy you like? Look at that scrawny build. Can he protect you? I bet he's the one who needs you to protect him."
"That's right. I do like him like this. And let me tell you, you're the one who has no right to talk to my boyfriend. Xiao Qing will be entering the Elite Training Camp soon, while you won't even see his back," Qin Lin sneered.
At her words, all the Warriors in the hall turned to look, their faces full of shock.
"No, that's impossible! How could he qualify to enter the Elite Training Camp? I don't believe it!" Ye Feng's face flushed red.
Ye Feng wasn't the only one who didn't believe it. The other Warriors didn't either.
The Elite Training Camp was a place only the most gifted of geniuses could enter. Jiangnan Base City might not produce even one entrant in several years, which showed just how high the requirements were.
"That's the president's decision. Believe it or not, we were just with the president. Ye Feng, let me give you a word of advice: don't think too highly of yourself," Wu Jiang scoffed.
Seeing what Ye Feng was really like today made Wu Jiang sick. Qin Lin had been absolutely right not to choose a man like him.
Wu Jiang's words turned the crowd's skepticism into shock. Wu Jiang definitely wouldn't lie about something like this.
"How is that possible? He must have gotten in through connections. It has to be that!" Ye Feng gritted his teeth.
Seeing how ugly Ye Feng looked, Wu Jiang didn't even want to speak to him.
"Xiao Qing, let's go." Qin Lin took Xu Qing by the hand and led him out of the hall.
Xu Qing glanced back and saw Ye Feng glaring at him viciously. He immediately pulled a face at Ye Feng in return.
The other Warriors found the sight amusing. Could this harmless-looking little boy really be the kind of prodigy who could enter the Elite Training Camp?
"Old Wu, is it true? That little guy can enter the Elite Training Camp?" Some curious Warriors came over to ask Wu Jiang, who knew the details.
Wu Jiang nodded. "Don't let his harmless looks fool you. His talent is terrifying. Even the president couldn't stop praising him. His place in the Elite Training Camp is practically guaranteed."
"That amazing? Tell us more." The crowd immediately started asking about Xu Qing and brought over some fine liquor.
"All right, I suppose I can tell you a little," Wu Jiang said. Seeing that they knew how to show their appreciation, he told them about Xu Qing.
Soon, gasps rang through the hall.
Even Ye Feng had been listening nearby. As he heard the story, his face flushed red, then turned pale. He turned and left without another word.
"Qin Lin's the most impressive one here. Out of nowhere, she found herself such an amazing young boyfriend."
"Exactly. She's the real winner. I remember she teaches at Jiangnan University now, right? That's what they mean by love coming to those closest at hand."
"You're making me want to become a university teacher. Maybe I'll meet a prodigy too."
"Keep dreaming, little brother. Go home, wash up, and get some sleep. You can have anything you want in your dreams."
"Haha..."
A group of Warriors sat in the hall, chatting animatedly amid bursts of laughter.
Meanwhile, Xu Qing and Qin Lin walked out of the Limit General Hall building.
"Xiao Qing, don't take what happened with Ye Feng to heart," Qin Lin said, worried that he might dwell on it.
Xu Qing nodded. "Don't worry. I can't be bothered to care about that. That uncle has no sense of responsibility. I don't like him."
"Mm, I don't like him either." Qin Lin patted Xu Qing on the head.
Before, she hadn't really disliked Ye Feng. She simply hadn't been interested in him, but they had once fought side by side as comrades.
Besides, he had always liked her, and she believed in not slapping away a smiling face. Whenever they met, she had still greeted him with a smile.
The problem was that even after getting married, he continued acting as if he were deeply in love with her. It was sickening.
From then on, Qin Lin had seen Ye Feng for who he was, and she had begun treating him coldly whenever they met.
"Linlin, what's the Elite Training Camp you mentioned?" Xu Qing asked once they were in the car.
Qin Lin thought it over, then explained, "The Elite Training Camp is also called the War God Preparatory Camp. Everyone who enters it is a genius among geniuses, and they're destined to become War Gods in the future. Xiao Qing, with your talent, you can train there."
"Oh, I see." Xu Qing understood.
"However, the Elite Training Camp isn't in Jiangnan Base City, or even in Huaxia Country. It's overseas. That means you'll have to go abroad to train," Qin Lin added.
"Huh? I have to go abroad?" Xu Qing looked astonished.
He had never considered going abroad to train. It was all so sudden.
Didn't that mean he would have to be apart from Qin Lin and wouldn't get to see Xu Xin either?
"Xiao Qing, that's where you belong. As long as you work hard and become a War God as soon as possible, you can come back," Qin Lin told him.
"But it'll take at least a year or two to become a War God, right? Does that mean I won't get to see you or Sister Xin for that long?" Xu Qing was reluctant.
Qin Lin smiled. "Don't worry. Even if you go to the Elite Training Camp, you can come home to visit in January and February every year."
"Oh, then that doesn't sound so bad. But we'd still have to be apart for a long time. Linlin, are you really okay with not seeing me for so long?" Xu Qing blinked at her.
Qin Lin pinched his cheek. "Don't try to act cute. We can video call, so don't worry about not seeing each other for a long time. Besides, once you become a War God, we won't have to be apart."
"All right, I'll do what you say." Seeing that his cute act wasn't working, Xu Qing could only give up.
