Lu Yunlong's eyes nearly popped out, and he even felt he was experiencing an illusion!

What? The Elder Master Chen admitted defeat? This is just unscientific! How could the Elder Master Chen lose?

As Lu Yunlong stared at the young Ling Feng across from him, a thought involuntarily flashed through his mind, "What kind of monster is this son-in-law?"

Although Elder Master Chen had conceded, there was no trace of despondency on his face, instead, it was filled with satisfaction and pleasure.

"Not bad, really not bad! It's been a long time since I've played chess so thrillingly. You're only the second young person who's been able to defeat me!" Chen Biao Elder Master said with a smile.

Ling Feng was startled. He was very aware of Elder Master Chen's chess skills; they had reached a level of mastery that was effortless yet profound! Plus, with that military killing aura that Elder Master Chen exuded, apart from himself, who else could withstand his attack?

"Grandfather, who is the other person?" At that moment, a young voice came over, filled with curiosity.

Looking over, the young man in a military uniform extended his hand, "Lu Yunlong, Xiaoxue's cousin!"

Ling Feng shook his hand, and then Elder Master Chen said indifferently, "The other person? That was about twenty years ago. He was a few years older than Xiao Feng at the time, but in that game, his victory over me was much simpler than Xiao Feng's! Now, you might have heard of him; he is the Dragon King!"

Lu Yunlong's eyes narrowed, of course he was familiar with the great name of the Dragon King.

Chen Biao looked at Ling Feng, "Xiao Feng, just now, I tried over thirty different methods to dissolve your attack, but in the end, it was still a dead end. I have to say, you're very resilient. I had more than ten perfect opportunities to deliver the finishing blow, but you tenaciously resolved each one. Impressive indeed!"

Ling Feng gave a slight smile, "Elder Master Chen flatters me!"

Resilience and endurance? Without those traits, Ling Feng would have long since perished in the Mad Doctor's laboratory!

Chen Biao gave Ling Feng a deep look, then said, "As one grows old, one loses vigor. I get somewhat sleepy after a game of chess. You youngsters chat among yourselves; I'm going to rest for a while."

With that, Chen Biao walked into his bedroom, while Lu Yunlong, with eyes full of admiration, grabbed Ling Feng, eager to learn from him.

Meanwhile, Chen Biao stood by the window, his expression turning solemn.

Life is like a game of chess! Originally, Chen Biao had only wanted to see what kind of person Ling Feng was through the chess game!

But the outcome had exceeded his expectations! This made him feel both happy and uneasy!

Being happy because Ling Feng had completely surpassed his expectations. Just with this persistence and restraint, this patience and resilience, he stood out among all the young talents Chen Biao knew, even being a rare find!

But his unease stemmed from just that! With a talent like Ling Feng, if he were in the military, Chen Biao would have carefully nurtured him, but Ling Feng's current identity was Xiaoxue's boyfriend! Although Chen Biao had seen through their pretense, he was heavy-hearted about the possible underlying schemes!

"What if Ling Feng is deliberately playing hard to get? Xiaoxue might be a little willful, but she is inherently kind and can't stand dishonesty. Can a girl like her tame Ling Feng?" Chen Biao shook his head. Ling Feng might be a catch, but he's not the right match!

But before Chen Biao's eyes flashed the image of Ling Feng jumping into the water to save someone without hesitation; he sighed deeply, "Ling Feng, what kind of person are you really? Can I truly entrust Xiaoxue to you? This is really giving me a headache!"

Meanwhile, outside, Lu Yunlong had already caught up with Ling Feng.

"Brother-in-law, you're the one who defeated Elder Master Chen, teach me how, will you?" Lu Yunlong said with a playful grin, "After all, I'm your elder cousin, and you've stolen away our Xiaoxue. As long as you teach me how to defeat Elder Master Chen, I won't hold this against you. On the contrary, I could even provide you with information about Xiaoxue's childhood, how about that?"

"Lu Yunlong!" Chen Ningxue, with hands on hips and a frosty expression, her eyes emitting a killing aura, exclaimed, "What did you just say? Say it again?"

Cold sweat instantly broke out on Lu Yunlong's forehead, "Well, I was just about to have a good chat with my brother-in-law. Isn't that right, brother-in-law?"

Seeing the pleading look in his eyes, Ling Feng shrugged, "Your elder cousin said he wanted to tell me about your embarrassing childhood stories!"

"Lu Yunlong, you're asking for it! Don't run!" Chen Ningxue picked up a broom nearby and chased after him.

As Lu Yunlong ran, he yelled out in anger, "Brother-in-law... you can't just leave me to die like this, everything I'm doing is for you, ahh, darn Xiaoxue, are you using all your might from nursing? It hurts like hell!"

Watching Chen Ningxue and Lu Yunlong teasing and chasing each other, Ling Feng's eyes flashed with envy! With Ling Feng's vision, he could naturally tell that Lu Yunlong's strength had reached Class C. If he truly wanted to avoid her, Chen Ningxue wouldn't have been able to catch up to him at all!

However, Lu Yunlong deliberately exposed a few flaws, letting Chen Ningxue hit him. It was clear to see that Lu Yunlong really adored Chen Ningxue! This must be the affection between siblings, the warmth of family!

After a few rounds of chase, Lu Yunlong, waving his hands, said, "Xiaoxue, I can't take it anymore, I'm exhausted! I surrender, isn't that enough?"

Chen Ningxue, with pride, put down the broom and said, "Hmph, at least you know what's good for you! If you speak ill of me, I'll tell our aunt you bullied me. Weigh that for yourself!"

With that, Chen Ningxue left with a triumphant look on her face.

Ling Feng was utterly astounded; he knew Chen Ningxue wasn't the type to be a gentle and frail girl, but he didn't expect her to be this wild in private. Truly, appearances can be deceiving!

Lu Yunlong dusted off the dirt from his body and looked to Ling Feng with a smile, "Brother-in-law, shall we go for a stroll?"

Ling Feng nodded and replied, "Sure, let's go!"

Both men, tall and imposing, walked together with an air of nobility, looking like two brothers at a glance.

"My name is Lu Yunlong, currently serving in the Sharp Sword Special Forces!" Lu Yunlong offered a cigarette to Ling Feng as he spoke.

Ling Feng waved his hand to refuse, "My name is Ling Feng, currently unemployed and a drifter, just returned from abroad! I don't smoke, thanks!"

"Good, not smoking is healthy!" Lu Yunlong said as he lit up the cigarette, then continued as he smoked, "I can tell that Xiaoxue really likes you, so no matter who you are, all I hope is that you don't let Xiaoxue get hurt. Otherwise, as her elder cousin, I won't let you off. Do you understand?"

Ling Feng, taken aback, replied with a laugh, "What do you mean by that, elder cousin? I know you adore Xiaoxue very much, but..."
