After the Lin family's elite guards moved out, Lin Zhan said to He Dazhuang, "After the brothers are all here tomorrow, I'll explain in detail. We only have one year left. Once we enter the high-level martial arts era, you'll all need to learn well in terms of warfare. There's a major battle a year from now, and I'll lead you onto the battlefield then."
After Lin Zhan finished speaking, Father An, who had arranged the living quarters for the three elders, Lin Wufa, and the others, returned and asked Lin Zhan and He Dazhuang, "Zhan'er, Dazhuang, what are your arrangements?"
"Uncle, I'll really have to trouble you. Please arrange two large courtyards for me. My mother and my maternal grandmother's Ouyang family members will also be coming. Additionally, everyone in our team will arrive in the capital tomorrow and will also be arranged at the An family's residence. We might as well take advantage of my second grandfather's influence here to first eliminate the hidden dangers within the An family."
"Oh, and Uncle, are the current diamond-level experts in the An family members of the main An family line? Can they be trusted?"
Father An quickly replied, "They can be trusted. The two diamond-level experts in the An family are my own brother and my cousin. They are legitimate An family members and absolutely trustworthy."
Lin Zhan nodded and said, "I've already assigned Lin Er and Lin San to take over the security of the An family with their respective teams. As for the two An family experts, have them serve my second great-grandfather and the two quasi-king seniors. This way, if they have any questions regarding cultivation, they can also seek guidance from the three of them."
Father An knew that Lin Zhan was helping the An family cultivate experts. After all, promotion beyond the diamond level wasn't solely dependent on resources. Having mentors by their side could not only help them avoid many detours but also allow for faster and safer cultivation and advancement.
He then happily said to Lin Zhan, "Thank you, Zhan'er. Uncle is very grateful."
"You're too kind, Uncle. We're all family, so there's no need for such formalities."
Watching Father An leave happily, He Dazhuang muttered quietly, "Is my father-in-law a bit naive? He just finished saying that, but now who was it that wanted to chop him earlier?"
After discussing important matters, Lin Zhan and He Dazhuang found Zhang Lingxiu and An Ya. After they had lunch together, they began to stroll through the An family's ecological park.
Lin Zhan didn't hold back, taking anything that caught his eye. Fearing he might miss something, he directly summoned his four mischievous spirit pets: Xiao Jin, Xiao Hei, Xiao Bao, and Xiao Ji.
The four little ones' mouths watered at the sight of the spiritual wood and fruit trees. Xiao Ji was the first to charge forward, saying to the An family staff, "This mountain is mine, this tree is mine! If you want to stay, leave your valuables behind. Otherwise, you'll be broken like teeth, and we'll handle your burial!"
The An family staff, whose martial arts levels were mostly Bronze and a few Silver, had never seen such a spectacle. They quickly fled and reported to the An family's higher-ups.
When the An family's higher-ups arrived, Xiao Jin, with its massive body, declared, "My father is Jin Jiao, a Lord-level Azure Dragon guarding Zhongwu. If you want to complain, go find my father."
Jin Jiao, who was guarding the space rifts at the Intermediate Martial Arts Academy, was contemplating how to convince his wife to agree to having a second child, when unexpectedly, his eldest son began using his name to claim territory.
The An family had no Lord-level experts to begin with, so they became even more timid. Later, they intended to complain to Lin Zhan, but they were informed that Young Master Lin and his wife were resting. Lin Er, who always accompanied Lin Zhan, stood outside the room, drawing his saber and slowly polishing it, releasing a powerful Lord-level pressure without reservation. In the end, the matter had to be dropped.
The night passed uneventfully. The next morning, the team members began to arrive one after another. Not only the combat personnel but also the support staff, the "women's corps," were present.
Lin Zhan whispered in Zhang Lingxiu's ear, "Wife, can you and An Ya help them talk and see if we can play matchmaker? After all, I have so many single brothers here. I think Er Zhuang and Yang Tingting would be a good match, and didn't Zhan Long always want to marry his sister to Lao Xiao?"
Zhang Lingxiu looked at her husband in surprise, "You're still interested in this? What, are you planning to open a marriage agency in the future?"
Lin Zhan shook his head, "What marriage agency? Actually, the fact that we are all gathered together was arranged from above. They also hope that we can resolve our personal issues among ourselves. The families of these girls provide all the logistical support, including medical care, supplies, formations, illusions, weapon resupply, scientific research weapons, and so on."
"And all of us will be going to the battlefield in the future. If the logistics are handled by our wives' families, how much trouble will that save? It's also a form of security."
Zhang Lingxiu nodded, "Then I understand. Don't worry."
The women's corps also gathered and started chattering, while the group of "werewolves" led by Lin Zhan looked at the young and beautiful figures and began to drool.
"Brother, when will you introduce me to that girl Yang Tingting you mentioned to sister-in-law last time? Look how beautiful she is," Wang Er Zhuang said, drooling over Yang Tingting's long legs.
"Lao Lin, look at that girl Li Yaoyao's physique. She looks like she can definitely bear sons," said Leng Shan, the young master of the Leng family, a renowned dog king.
Lin Zhan said speechlessly, "Lao Leng, have you been breeding dogs at home and gotten too stimulated? Nothing has even started yet, and you're already thinking about bearing sons?"
"That's right, Brother Lin told me to say that these two are just lowly and are only lusting after the girls' bodies. Brother Lin, could you introduce me to that long-haired girl from Boss Zhang's team? I'll be happy whether we have sons or daughters, I won't object," said Meng Gang, also drooling.
Lin Zhan roared helplessly, "What are you all looking at? Turn your heads and look at me. You, Zhang Haoran, you big idiot, can you wipe your nosebleed?"
Lin Zhan found that his roar was useless and couldn't help but sigh: This truly is spring, a season of all things reviving.
He then summoned Xiao Hei and said, "Heizi, get some water to wake up these single dogs, lest Zhang Haoran the fool bleeds and forgets later."
Xiao Hei directly summoned a huge water ball and controlled its temperature to around zero degrees, hurling it at the heads of these beasts.
With a splash, the water ball burst, and the red-eyed single dogs turned into drowned rats.
Everyone, while letting their dogs go, grabbing their weapons, and drawing talismans, glared at Lin Zhan and said, "Lin Lao Hei, if you don't give us an explanation today, we'll make you the first guest in Er Zhuang's backyard."
Lin Zhan glanced at everyone with disdain and said, "I've asked Lingxiu to go and speak well for you with the girls."
"Ah, Brother, we were just joking with you earlier. It was all in jest, don't take it seriously."
