119: Old Master Xu's suspicions

"Spit it out!"

Old Master Xu looked impatient, seemingly having no patience at all.

Xu Gang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said cautiously.

"Xu Xin... my sister... she is getting married!"

Xu Gang clearly saw Old Master Xu's arm tremble.

"What? Xin Xin, my good granddaughter, you are getting married? Who is it? Why didn't you tell your grandfather?"

Old Master Xu tremblingly held Xu Xin's hands and said with concern.

"Grandfather, it's not that I didn't want to tell you; he just proposed to me suddenly, and I didn't react in time."

Xu Xin patted the back of Old Master Xu's hand, comforting him.

"Nonsense, how old are you? Why are you in such a hurry to get married?"

"What does the man's family do? What does he do for a living? Is it that Wang Xingping from the Wang family?"

Although Old Master Xu said with his mouth that his granddaughter shouldn't rush into marriage, his slip of the tongue revealed his true inner thoughts.

"Grandfather, it's not Wang Xingping, nor is it any other consortium from the HR Alliance. Luo Feng's family is just an ordinary family, and he himself is a Martial Artist."

Xu Xin shook her head and said lightly.

"Martial Artist?"

Old Master Xu originally had some expectations, thinking that if his granddaughter could marry into another consortium, it would be of great benefit to the Xu Family's business.

But upon hearing that Luo Feng's family was just an ordinary family and that Luo Feng himself was just a Martial Artist, he immediately frowned.

"Not a consortium, and a Martial Artist? The Xu Family has at least a hundred, if not a thousand, Martial Artists under its command, and over a dozen at the Warlord Level. That is a profession where one must risk their life at any moment. Why did you choose someone..."

Old Master Xu felt some dissatisfaction in his heart. He naturally looked down on ordinary Martial Artists and was about to scold her, but he saw Xu Gang hurriedly step forward to smooth things over for Xu Xin.

"Old Master, this marriage was matchmade by an Intermediate War God Level Martial Artist."

Old Master Xu had originally been about to get angry when he saw Xu Gang interrupting him, but upon hearing that this marriage had been arranged by a War God Level Expert, and an Intermediate War God at that, his anger immediately dissipated.

Turning from anger to calm, and then to beaming with joy, if there were still film academies in this world, Old Master Xu's face-changing performance would definitely make it into the textbooks.

"Hoo—!"

Old Master Xu took a deep breath; his emotions were up and down, and he needed a moment to adapt.

Xu Xin and Xu Gang both watched the old master quietly, waiting for him to speak.

"Hmm, Xin Xin, I agree to this marriage."

Old Master Xu nodded with a smile and agreed.

"Thank you, Grandfather."

Although Xu Xin knew that her grandfather hadn't been very willing after learning that Luo Feng was a Martial Artist at first, and that he only agreed now because he wanted to establish a connection with a God of War, she didn't intend to expose her family member since the family agreed and she and Luo Feng liked each other, which was a win-win outcome.

"Xin Xin, I wonder what this God of War is called, and what is his relationship with your boyfriend?"

Old Master Xu still asked cautiously.

If it really was a God of War, he would definitely be on the list, and he would only need to ask the War God Level Expert that the Xu Family patronized to know the truth.

It was no wonder he was extra cautious; after all, Xu Xin had grown up in a greenhouse and had never suffered any grievances, and he was afraid that his good granddaughter would be deceived.

So, Xu Xin told Old Master Xu all the information she knew about Luo Feng and Qiao Yu.

Old Master Xu pursed his lips and nodded solemnly, then smiled and said.

"Xin Xin, this matter doesn't need to be rushed. After all, your little boyfriend hasn't officially proposed to you yet. Let's discuss what to do specifically after the official proposal."

"Okay, Grandfather, I knew you loved me the most."

Xu Xin acted like a spoiled child again, which made Old Master Xu very happy, but the seed of doubt had been planted in his heart.

After Xu Xin chatted with her grandfather for a few more sentences, she planned to return to her room.

Before leaving, Old Master Xu kept Xu Gang behind.

"Old Master, what's wrong? Is it possible that you are still not satisfied that our Xu Family can build a friendship with an Intermediate War God Level Martial Artist?"

Xu Gang said with a cheeky smile.

Old Master Xu just sighed and shook his head slightly, explaining.

"If it really is an Intermediate War God, then I naturally have no objections, but have you ever heard of the name Qiao Yu?"

Xu Gang recalled for a moment, shook his head and said.

"Old Master, although there aren't many Gods of War in our Jiangnan Base City, I don't know all of them at my level. Anyway, I haven't heard of the name Qiao Yu. Surely no one would be stupid enough to impersonate a God of War, right?"

Old Master Xu also shook his head, uncertainly.

"That may be so, but to be safe, I'd better ask War God Yu."

Old Master Xu took out a special communication phone and sent a message to the Xu Family's God of War, asking the other party if there was a famous God of War named Qiao Yu.

Because the Xu Family's God of War was more of a nominal existence and was not under the control of the Xu Family—nor did the Xu Family have the ability to control him—Old Master Xu's relationship with the Xu Family's God of War was more like mutual help between friends.

The message was soon answered, and the Xu Family's God of War called in.

"Hello? War God Yu, long time no see. Everything going well lately?"

Old Master Xu spoke first. Even though he was the actual power behind the Xu Family, he could only be polite to a God of War because a God of War had the ability to destroy the Xu Family at any time, so he naturally dared not offend him.

"Haha, with Old Master Xu's funding, naturally things are going well. Plus, I have adapted to my new arm after limb regeneration during this period, and my efficiency in hunting monsters in the Wilderness Area has skyrocketed."

Yu Yang on the other end of the phone said happily.

After the two exchanged a few more pleasantries, Old Master Xu got to the point.

"War God Yu, there is something I would like to ask you about."

After receiving Yu Yang's consent, Old Master Xu continued.

"I wonder if you have heard of a God of War named Qiao Yu among your God of War friends or on the list of Gods of War?"

The person on the other end of the phone was thinking, and after a moment of pondering, replied.

"Hmm? Is there a God of War named Qiao Yu?"

"Old Master Xu, there are more than three thousand Gods of War in the War God Palace. Although I don't know them all, I can remember their names, and there is no God of War named Qiao Yu or anything similar."

After hearing this, Old Master Xu's heart almost stopped for half a beat.

Could it be that his good granddaughter Xu Xin was really deceived?

Before Old Master Xu could speak again, the other end of the phone said again.

"However, I do know a person named Qiao Yu, but I don't know if it's the Qiao Yu you are talking about, Old Master. After all, there are so many people with the same name and surname, or even just the same sound."
