120: Misunderstand

“I do know this person Qiao Yu, but I'm not sure if he's the same Qiao Yu you're referring to, Old Master Xu. After all, there are so many people with the same name or sound-alike names.”

Yu Yang's voice mused over the receiver.

“Oh? War God Yu, could you elaborate?”

Old Master Xu became interested. Although he hadn't received the satisfying answer he wanted, if there were clues regarding this matter, he could better know himself and his enemy.

At this moment, his heart was already burning with rage. Anyone who dared to deceive his Xu Family probably didn't even know how to write the character for 'death'.

“He is my benefactor!”

Yu Yang's statement caused Old Master Xu, whose heart had just started beating normally again, to skip another beat. This constant fluctuation caused cold sweat to seep from his forehead and back.

At the same time, he inwardly complained about why people nowadays liked to pause dramatically. Couldn't they just finish their sentences in one go?

“Uh, War God Yu, please continue.”

Old Master Xu suppressed the turmoil in his heart and slowly spoke.

“Qiao Yu was the one who gave me the opportunity for Rebirth of severed limbs, allowing my strength to advance another level without improving my physical fitness.”

“Although I could originally become a God of War relying only on my legs, my strength was only considered the lowest tier among Gods of War. When dealing with monsters, I could only choose High-level Beast General Rank or Elementary Lord Level ones, and I still needed several people covering me to kill them.”

“But now that I have both hands, I can hunt High-level Beasts General alone, and even handle Elementary Lord Level monsters by myself. It truly gave me a Rebirth.”

Yu Yang spoke fluently on the other end of the phone, while Old Master Xu already had a clear idea in his mind.

If this Qiao Yu was the Qiao Yu mentioned by Yu Yang, then even if they had been deceived, this marriage might not be impossible to agree to.

“I just don't know if this benefactor of War God Yu is the same person I am referring to,”

Old Master Xu asked. He had heard Xu Xin say that this Qiao Yu belonged to the Dojo of Limits, specifically the Dojo of Limits in Yangzhou City. Among people with the same name across the country, within the same city, or even such a small area, there probably weren't too many people named Qiao.

“The Qiao Yu I'm talking about belongs to the Thunderbolt Martial Arts School. I can only say this much; the specifics must be judged by you, Old Master Xu.”

Although Yu Yang didn't know why Old Master Xu was asking about Qiao Yu, he still chose to maintain a certain level of confidentiality for his benefactor.

“So he belongs to the Thunderbolt Martial Arts School...”

“Haha, then the benefactor War God Yu spoke of must not be the same person I am looking for. I am truly sorry for taking up so much of your time, War God Yu. My apologies, my apologies.”

Old Master Xu immediately understood. It seemed they really had been deceived by this Qiao Yu.

After the two exchanged a few more pleasantries, Old Master Xu hung up the phone and looked at Xu Gang, who was sitting beside him.

Xu Gang had naturally heard their conversation and was also burning with rage at this moment.

“I'll go find Xu Xin right now to get that Qiao Yu's whereabouts! I'll call upon all the Xu Family Warlords, and I'll kill him! How dare he deceive my sister!”

Seeing Xu Gang's impulsive behavior, Old Master Xu simply tapped the desk and spoke slowly.

“When are you going to rein in that temper of yours? When encountering problems, you must remain calm and find the best solution.”

Hearing Old Master Xu speak this way, Xu Gang could only suppress the anger in his heart and sat back down on the sofa.

“If you rush off like that, won't you alert him?”

“If he runs away directly then, how will you find him?”

“Moreover, not only do we need to vent our anger and make an example of him, but more importantly, we need to let Xin Xin know his true colors.”

“Xin Xin has been spoiled since childhood and is pure of heart. Although we strictly control her romantic life, this is precisely the weakness others exploit.”

Old Master Xu's lecture completely calmed Xu Gang's anger, and he learned to think calmly before acting, imitating Old Master Xu.

“Old Master, then what do you suggest we do about this?”

Xu Gang asked.

“Tell me your idea. If I have to make every decision, how can the Xu Family rely on you after I'm gone?”

Old Master Xu scolded.

Xu Gang subconsciously flinched, thought for a moment, and then spoke.

“Aren't they planning to formally propose to Xin Xin?”

“Since it's a proposal, the main characters and supporting characters will all show up to make it official. Luo Feng and Qiao Yu will definitely be present. At that time, we'll execute the strategy of 'Catching a Turtle in a Jar,' and capture them easily. Old Master, what do you think of this idea?”

Old Master Xu heard Xu Gang's idea, found it feasible, and nodded, saying.

“The idea sounds acceptable. For now, we'll proceed as you suggested.”

Xu Gang was rarely praised by Old Master Xu, and he felt extremely happy.

“Then I'll go find Xin Xin first and ask her for the specific time and location.”

Old Master Xu nodded, and Xu Gang departed.

“Hoo—!”

“Every day is truly exhausting. Did I retire too early, allowing some lowlifes from the Jianghu to dare covet my Xu Family's Young Miss?”

“Was it right or wrong to let Xin Xin train among ordinary people before?”

Old Master Xu opened the cigar box in front of him, expertly clipped the cigar, lit it with a specialized torch lighter, and slowly exhaled a puff of smoke... Meanwhile, inside a university dorm room, Mu Mu was gossiping with her roommates.

“Hey, hey, hey, did you guys know? Xin Xin got proposed to by her boyfriend!”

When the other two roommates heard this, their gossip souls instantly ignited, and they all crowded closer.

After Mu Mu told her two roommates what had happened tonight, she felt a sense of relief. Xu Xin hadn't asked her to keep it a secret, so this news naturally had to be shared with her roommates.

While envious, the other two roommates also secretly shared this news with their other friends.

Just like that, the news spread from ten to a hundred, eventually reaching a certain person's ears.

“What? You said Xu Xin was proposed to? And she accepted? Who is it?”

Wang Xingping was incredibly shocked when he heard this news.

His Wang Family had told him to seize the opportunity and see if he could win over the Xu Family's Young Miss. If the two Families formed a powerful alliance, they could secure a larger share of the pie within the HR Alliance.

But someone had actually beaten him to the punch?

Is there no justice left? Is there no law anymore?

“I heard it's a Martial Artist named Luo Feng.”

Said the girl, who was dressed flamboyantly and leaning in Wang Xingping's arms.

“Luo Feng? And a Martial Artist? Never heard of him. What's his strength like?”

Wang Xingping raised an eyebrow. If he was a powerful Martial Artist, then a spontaneous political marriage wouldn't be impossible—for example, a Martial Artist about to step into the War God Level; that would make sense.

“Hmm... apparently, he's an Intermediate Warlord Level Martial Artist.”

The woman looked at the information on her phone and added.

“What the heck? The Xu Family was satisfied with just an Intermediate Warlord Level? Which consortium doesn't have a dozen or more Warlord Level Martial Artists under them? What makes this Luo Feng special!”
