Under the pale moonlight, the three of them stood on a vast open grassland, looking at each other...

Each one of them showed an absolutely intense fighting spirit...

Obviously, none of them were willing to submit to the others...

Not far away, the Lin Family Head and several elders of the Lin Family were silently watching...

Previously, before the breakthrough, they couldn't approach so silently.

But after the breakthrough, their strength had increased significantly, so now they really could...

That's also why they deliberately got very close now...

The purpose was to know exactly how strong the young generation of the three families was...

After retracting their gaze, those elders of the Lin Family quickly spoke...

"Family Head, who do you think among the three of them has stronger power?"

"Indeed!"

Hearing their slightly curious inquiry, the Lin Family Head withdrew his gaze and said, "I think Hai Tianshao is a bit stronger. Of course, this is not to say that Zheng Long and Qu Yan are weak, but comparing to Hai Tianshao, they are still slightly lacking."

Hearing such a judgment, they thought carefully and nodded slowly...

They knew that the three of them were very close in age, so their abilities were also very similar...

As such, Hai Tianshao couldn't possibly form a terrifying dominance over them...

"Then Family Head, should we stop them now!"

"Yes, today is, after all, the day of Xiaobei and Ling'er's engagement!"

"Indeed!"

Hearing their concerns, the Lin Family Head waved his hand vigorously and said loudly, "Haha, it's alright! It's precisely because of the engagement that things become lively when they stir up, right!"

"This..."

Hearing such an explanation, they could only nod silently...

They knew that the Family Head wanted them to create a good commotion so that their true capabilities could be seen...

In fact, the Lin Family Head indeed thought so!

But in reality, he had another thought...

He really didn't care if they stirred things up or not, nor about their powers, because he knew that no matter how strong these three were, they could never affect Hu Xiaobei's position as captain...

From the beginning, his biggest concern was over there in The Valley of the Wicked...

He previously had an inside contact in The Valley of the Wicked, so he had received some information.

It was said that this time, The Valley of the Wicked would also send four people, and all of them had terrifying strength...

"I hope Xiaobei can truly overcome the danger!"

Taking a deep breath, he shifted his gaze back to the three of them; by now, they had already gotten serious...

This made him find it quite interesting...

...

The next day, as the rising sun broke through the horizon, sunlight spilled over the Lin Family, sweeping away all the gloom in an instant...

The bees and butterflies that had slept through the night once again began to dance with the chirping of birds.

Everyone in the Lin Family began to get up...

The whole Lin Family started to bustle, except for Hu Xiaobei and Lin Ling'er's courtyard, which was particularly quiet.

Everyone had received an order from the Family Head, so they stayed away from there as much as possible...

Inside the room, Hu Xiaobei had actually been awake for a long time, but he hadn't moved because he knew that if he moved, Lin Ling'er, who was holding him, would wake up...

Knowing that she was really exhausted last night, Hu Xiaobei genuinely hoped she could sleep a little longer...

Thinking this, Hu Xiaobei quietly looked at her...

In that instant, Hu Xiaobei saw her brows furrow slightly...

"Could she be having a nightmare again?"

Murmuring softly, Hu Xiaobei stretched out his hand to smooth her slightly furrowed brow...

Yet before he touched her, Hu Xiaobei saw her open her eyes...

"Awake!"

Hearing Hu Xiaobei's gentle inquiry, Lin Ling'er instantly knew that everything before wasn't a dream...

In that moment, shyness instantly crawled up to her face...

"Mmm!"

She gently agreed and wanted to quickly sit up, and in that instant, her brows furrowed even more.

Noticing this, Hu Xiaobei quickly said, "Did you remember something scary? With me here, nothing scary will happen."

Hearing Hu Xiaobei's quick reassurance, she rolled her eyes and angrily said, "What are you talking about? I... I didn't think of anything scary, it's just that my body feels a bit uncomfortable."

"Your body feels uncomfortable?"

Pausing for a moment, Hu Xiaobei suddenly understood what Lin Ling'er was trying to convey...

Quickly, Hu Xiaobei coughed and said, "Just rest well, if you're hungry, I'll get you something to eat!"

After saying this, Hu Xiaobei swiftly stood up and ran out.

Seeing Hu Xiaobei run off directly, she murmured angrily, "Lucky you, little bastard, ran fast!"

Saying this, she couldn't help but think about the events of last night again, instantly becoming even more shy...

...

Hu Xiaobei didn't know what Lin Ling'er was still thinking about; currently, he had quickly run out of the courtyard.

"Good morning, brother-in-law!"

As soon as Hu Xiaobei ran out of the courtyard, he heard someone speak.

Turning his head, he saw many people looking at him.

Feeling a little embarrassed, Hu Xiaobei rubbed his nose lightly and softly said, "Uh, hello everyone..."

Hu Xiaobei was indeed a bit nervous at this moment...

He couldn't really explain why, but he was just nervous!

Seeing Hu Xiaobei's nervousness, they laughed...

Soon, they spoke softly...

"Brother-in-law, the Family Head asked us to wait here! You're hungry now, right? We'll immediately make some food for you."

"Thank you, but it's not just for me, Ling'er needs it too."

"Mm! We know! We will definitely make double portions!"

"Right!"

Quickly agreeing, they promptly got busy.

Hu Xiaobei wanted to help, but knowing he was incapable, he could only stand aside.

While having nothing to do, Hu Xiaobei practiced a set of military boxing...

After finishing, Hu Xiaobei found many young people watching him...

Slightly taken aback, Hu Xiaobei squinted his eyes...

"You all want to learn? Alright, I'll teach you!"

Realizing their interest in military boxing, Hu Xiaobei stretched his neck and started displaying it again...

All the young people became excited to learn as Hu Xiaobei began to demonstrate...

To ensure everyone learned it, Hu Xiaobei repeated each move dozens of times...

After twenty minutes, everyone had mastered it...

Seeing this, Hu Xiaobei said, "Practice well from now on, you might not feel much in the short term, but over time, you'll surely notice changes in your body!"

"Yes, brother-in-law!"

Answering joyfully, everyone ran off!

They naturally planned to show off what they had just learned from Hu Xiaobei to the other young people in the family...

Hu Xiaobei didn't care what they did; currently, he turned to look at the two bowls of freshly cooked noodles...

Seeing two poached eggs placed on top of each bowl, he knew they had been considerate...

With a gentle smile, Hu Xiaobei carried them quickly towards the room...

Seeing this, everyone envied Lin Ling'er...

Because they all knew Hu Xiaobei was in such a hurry now, evidently to let Lin Ling'er have her breakfast sooner...

"There is only one brother-in-law, so we can't envy, let's go!"

"Mm!"

Nodding in agreement, everyone quickly left!

Hu Xiaobei didn't know this; right now, he was carrying two bowls of noodles swiftly arriving at the door of the room...

Taking a deep breath, Hu Xiaobei quickly walked in...

The next second, Hu Xiaobei saw Lin Ling'er leaning shyly against the bedhead...

"Ling'er, don't you want to rest a little longer?"

"I'm fine now!"

"Is this what I want to hear?"

Gently rolling her eyes at her, Hu Xiaobei set down the noodles in his hand...

After that, Hu Xiaobei sat in front of her, glanced at her, picked up one of the bowls, and carefully prepared to feed her.

Understanding Hu Xiaobei's intention, she quickly said, "Xiaobei, no need to feed me. I... I can do it myself!"

"No! Since your body is inconvenient now, I have to feed you!"

Hearing his absolutely domineering words, she hesitated for a moment and then slowly nodded...

Lin Ling'er knew Hu Xiaobei was stubborn, and she couldn't argue with him, so she didn't intend to continue the debate...

"That's being obedient!"

With such a gentle smile, Hu Xiaobei picked up some noodles with his chopsticks, gently blew on them, and held them to Lin Ling'er's mouth...
