Chapter 108

Liu Long smiled and said, "That Wang Lingling is indeed beautiful, exuding a spirited and heroic aura. But deep down, she's really like a man—especially competitive. She was the first to challenge me." Then, awkwardly, he added, "And she pulled off some clever tricks—I nearly got caught in her hands."

Zhou Yu raised an eyebrow and laughed, "Oh, so she's a real troublemaker." Then he glanced at Leng Yuhang and teased, "You have quite the taste, huh?"

Leng Yuhang rolled his eyes at Zhou Yu and said, "I’m willing. It’s Liu Long’s own fault for being overconfident and insisting on comparing guns with people—he almost got beaten."

Zhou Yu smiled but said nothing. He knew Liu Long well. Although he could be a bit of a flirt, he still maintained a gentlemanly demeanor, and now, with Liu Ting by his side, he had become much gentler.

Then Zhou Yu turned to Liu Haishan. "Haishan, go and call Wang Lingling over, and bring your own person too. Let’s get acquainted."

Afterwards, Zhou Yu continued, "And all of you—any family members or loved ones—bring them in too. Anyone you fancy, bring them along."

As soon as Zhou Yu finished speaking, Leng Yuhang jumped up first and said, "No need for Liu Haishan to go—I’ll call Wang Lingling myself." Saying that, he dashed out. Seeing Leng Yuhang take the lead, the others followed.

In an instant, only Liu Long, Liu Ting, and Zhou Yu remained in the villa’s main hall.

Zhou Yu asked, "So, how are you adapting?"

Liu Long shook his head and said, "There’s no adapting or not adapting for me. It makes no difference. As long as she’s here, that’s enough."

He tightened his grip on Liu Ting’s hand.

Zhou Yu chuckled, "Looks like you’ve grown fond of stability, huh?"

Liu Long smiled back, "Aren’t you the same? You like stability too."

They shared a hearty laugh but didn’t discuss it further.

Afterward, Zhou Yu asked, "Got any good fighters on your side?"

Liu Long replied, "A few, I suppose. Even the weakest among them are just a bit below Wang Kui and Zhao Yan."

Zhou Yu smirked, "You still call that good fighters?"

Liu Long laughed and scolded, "What do you want, kid? Do you expect everyone to be as twisted as you? Or like Liu Haishan—full of battle kings?"

Zhou Yu sighed, "Ah, nowadays soldiers are alright against average opponents, but when they meet someone stronger, they’re useless."

Liu Long grinned, "You sure have a big mouth."

Zhou Yu just chuckled without replying.

Liu Long ignored Zhou Yu and started whispering to Liu Ting.

After a while, the first to arrive was Xiao Zhi. Xiao Zhi brought along a mature, graceful woman and a young girl about his age. Zhou Yu immediately recognized them as Xiao Zhi’s wife and child.

He nodded in greeting.

Seconds later, Liu Haishan entered.

Zhou Yu noticed Liu Haishan’s downcast gaze as he came in and asked, "What’s wrong? Didn’t you bring anyone?"

Liu Haishan glanced at the girl who came with Xiao Zhi but said nothing.

Zhou Yu, sharp as ever, saw through the situation but kept quiet, thinking about how to bring the two together so Liu Haishan would feel a sense of belonging to him.

After a while, others returned one by one, each bringing one or two people along.

Finally, Leng Yuhang and Liu Lingling entered, with Liu Lingling leading and Leng Yuhang following behind.

Liu Lingling walked right up to Zhou Yu, knelt on one knee, and said, "Please accept me as your disciple."

This simple sentence left Zhou Yu utterly bewildered. What on earth was going on?
