Chapter 391

"Five years of marriage!"

"So, your sister-in-law never looked down on you?"

"Why would she look down on me?"

"Says you're clueless about romance, says you don't understand charm, says you don't know how to be romantic, says you don't know how to care for her, and so on and so forth!"

Long Yangyun's face darkened with sweat, but he had to admit—he was right!

"You're meddling too much!"

"You're my brother-in-law, aren't you? I'm just concerned about you!"

"Thank you!"

He actually gave a serious thanks, leaving Bai Jing utterly at a loss for what to say next!

"Brother-in-law, you'll end up with no friends if you keep this up!"

But Long Yangyun suddenly asked: "What should I do?"

"Huh? What do you mean, 'what to do'?"

"All those things you just said!"

Looking at that slightly embarrassed poker face, Bai Jing smiled—he thought you really didn't care.

"You need to communicate, you need to be considerate! Women aren't like men—they're emotional, they want to be cared for, they want to be tended to, in every little way."

Long Yangyun frowned. "That's that much trouble?"

"No trouble at all—just treat her like a difficult lifelong mission. You take missions seriously, don't you? You always put in effort to gather intel, make plans, figure out steps, right?"

Long Yangyun nodded thoughtfully. "I see. So I just treat her like an enemy. ˇ!"

Bai Jing was stunned—after you get home, you won't shoot your sister-in-law, will you?

"Uh… anyway, the direction's right. Learn what she wants, give her surprises—big or small. Women always like them!"

"Thank you!"

Long Yangyun actually took it to heart, because he was a good man who wanted his wife to be happy.

He'd noticed his sister's recent changes—he knew it was this man's doing.

So listening to him must be right!

"Teacher, who exactly are we waiting for?"

In a corner of the military camp, Kong Daxian sipped tea leisurely, with Zhen Xing serving him.

At this moment, Zhen Xing didn't understand—who could be important enough for his teacher to wait for?

"Waiting for someone very important. He can offer great help in this secret realm expedition. When he arrives, I'll introduce you—he's not worth getting worked up over!"

"Oh, alright!"

Zhen Xing was even more confused—why should I get worked up? Could he really be some huge figure?

That can't be—it's not like I haven't met the top leadership several times already.

I just don't get it!

"He's here!"

Zhen Xing turned and his eyes widened—he wasn't that little sweetheart of Long Yangyun's?

Why is he here?

Then he saw his teacher burst into laughter and stride forward to greet him!

"Young friend, it's been quite a while since we last met!"

"Doctor, seeing you still so vigorous puts my mind at ease!"

"You brat—is that even a compliment?"

"You get the point, don't you?"

The two clasped hands, clearly very familiar.

Zhen Xing was dumbfounded—why is my teacher being so polite? He's just a student!

Someone please explain this to me!

"Come, let me introduce you to someone!"

Kong Daxian pulled Bai Jing over; Bai Jing grinned.

"So Uncle's here too!"

"Huh? You two know each other?"

Bai Jing leaned close to Kong Daxian's ear and whispered something.

Kong Daxian laughed and groaned. "You, you're ruining his daughter!"

Running into your future father-in-law wherever you go—what's that like?

"Since you two know each other, I won't introduce you. He's my star pupil—his achievements are pretty decent!"

Bai Jing sneered—the old man was showing off. The nation's top official breeder, and you call that "pretty decent"?

"Um… Teacher, who is he…?"

"Aren't you already acquainted?"

"No, I meant to ask… what's his status?"

"Top graduate of Shanghai University!"

"I know that—what else?"

"What else?"

"That's it?"

"That's it!"

Zhen Xing was dumbfounded. "Are you kidding me?"

Last time, Zhen Xing had intended to make things difficult for Bai Jing and did not approve of his relationship with his own daughter, but after Bai Jing ordered Long Shaoyun right there on the spot, he sensed something was wrong.

Although he had privately investigated Bai Jing's background, he found nothing.

But the fact that he found nothing was terrifying; if even someone of his current status could find nothing, how terrifying must the other party be?

Later, he learned from his daughter's mouth that Bai Jing had actually received a Second-Class Medal, which truly frightened him greatly!

Who would believe it if a student received a Second-Class Medal?

Although he truly could not find any information on Bai Jing, Zhen Xing dared not oppose it openly anymore; now he held a laissez-faire attitude toward his daughter's matter.

"Doctor, what is the deal with this ruin secret realm?"

Kong Daxian explained, "Ruins secret realms are generally not large; they are all ruins of ancient times or civilizations, possessing high historical value."

"Ruins secret realms have no keys and require no struggle; whichever country's territory they appear in, they belong to that country."

"Understood; because there is no divine beast guarding them, no recognition is needed."

"Correct!"

"What about the location? Where is that ruin?"

"Changbai Mountain!"

"Let's go; we will head there immediately!"

The group boarded the special aircraft; Kong Daxian even pulled Bai Jing aside to converse, while Zhen Xing listened strangely from the side, because he recognized that his teacher was using a tone of inquiry.

"In years of ruin exploration, we discovered that besides a civilization more developed than our world, that world also had its own ancient civilizations; the development trajectory of that world is too similar to ours!"

Bai Jing nodded. "The only difference is probably the species of elves, right?"

"Exactly! Speaking of elves, traces of them can be found in many ancient ruins, including the figures of many divine beasts; this is also a very worthy research topic."

"I know a bit about this!"

"You know? Speak quickly, speak quickly!"

Kong Daxian appeared very excited, with the appearance of someone lending an attentive ear.

Zhen Xing also pricked up his ears. I want to hear what useful thing you can say; how could you make the teacher value you so much?

Long Yangyun looked at his nose, his nose at his heart, his heart at his second brother; only his ears moved.

I am listening passively, not deliberately eavesdropping on secrets.
