Chapter 766: Capital City Leng Family

After two days of preparations, Lin Feng and Leng Mei had taken care of all the necessary arrangements, and early that morning, they arrived at the airport with Lin Feng’s parents and Leng Hao, a group of five in total. They chatted merrily among themselves, especially Zhang Lan, who, upon seeing Leng Mei, immediately focused her attention on her and started chatting, leaving Lin Yiwen and her son to the side. Having learned everything about Leng Mei from her son, Zhang Lan naturally agreed; since the girl’s family was not opposed, why would she? Having another daughter-in-law was always a good thing, plus with Leng Mei being older, she could take care of Lin Feng.

Lin Yiwen, meanwhile, struck up a conversation with Leng Hao, mainly discussing trivial family matters. He wanted to know exactly what kind of family the Lengs were, so as not to make any faux pas when they met. However, Leng Hao was tight-lipped, insisting that everything would be clear once they returned to Capital City. Since Lin Feng hadn’t said anything, it wasn’t his place to speak. Moreover, Leng Hao knew Lin Feng didn’t want his parents to worry, so in this situation, he was even less likely to divulge anything, skillfully steering the conversation towards the pleasures of life in Capital City and chatting cheerfully with Lin Yiwen.

Lin Feng watched from the sidelines without speaking, just exchanging glances with Leng Mei now and then, signaling her not to be nervous and to take it easy.

Before they knew it, their plane had landed at Capital City International Airport, and the group of five left the airport and got into a business car, heading straight to the Lengs’ residence in the suburbs.

The conversation naturally continued on the road, with Leng Mei and Leng Hao outdoing themselves in keeping Zhang Lan and Lin Yiwen thoroughly entertained. When they reached the suburbs and entered a military district, Zhang Lan and Lin Yiwen’s expressions changed immediately. They knew what living outside Capital City in a military zone implied; their future in-laws were likely high-ranking officials in the military, which caught them completely by surprise.

But the car did not stop; instead, it went deeper into the military area. The guard patrols became increasingly frequent, and the security tighter. Seeing this, Lin Yiwen and Zhang Lan exchanged a look, both spotting shock in each other’s eyes. They were both wondering about the rank of Leng Mei’s family – why would they live in such a place?

Accompanied by Lin Yiwen and Zhang Lan’s apprehension and questions, the car drove for nearly half an hour before turning towards a villa at the very end. By now, the area was heavily guarded with soldiers posted every few steps — and these were only the ones visible; who knew how many more were hidden...

By then, both of them had realized the calibre of military officer they were about to meet—only those at the very top of the military system could live here.

Who exactly is this future in-law?

Zhang Lan and Lin Yiwen exchanged another look, both seeing surprise in each other’s eyes. They started to feel nervous; it had never crossed their minds that Leng Mei’s family would have such a status. How could a family of this stature let their daughter be someone else’s lover? It was utterly baffling...

While Zhang Lan and Lin Yiwen were mulling over these thoughts, the car reached the entrance of the Lengs’ residence. Guided by the guards, they entered the villa’s guest room, tidied up briefly, and were then invited by Leng Hui to the backyard. As soon as they saw the stone table set in the middle of the yard, characteristic of ancient style, and noticed an old man smiling at them from behind the table, Lin Yiwen immediately recognized Leng Hui’s identity.

"Ah! You’re General Leng Hui, one of Huaxia’s Four Great Military Gods?" Lin Yiwen hurriedly took a few quick steps towards Leng Hui, grabbed his hand, and was so excited he could barely speak. He had seen pictures of the Four Great Military Gods, and the elderly man before him was none other than Leng Hui, one of those gods. At this moment, Lin Yiwen’s heart was overwhelmed with surprise; he truly hadn’t expected to encounter Leng Hui here.

It was only then that he made the connection: Leng Hui’s surname was Leng, and so was Leng Mei’s. It was a rare surname across the country, and he hadn’t realized it before. Among generals living in this area, only Leng Hui had the surname Leng. Therefore, when Leng Mei brought them here, Lin Yiwen should have realized she was from Leng Hui’s family.

"Good to see you, Elder General Leng," Zhang Lan greeted Leng Hui as soon as she recognized him, hearing her husband acknowledge Leng Hui’s identity. For people of their generation, almost everyone knew of the four great Military Gods of Huaxia. She had felt he looked familiar, and now having confirmed Leng Hui’s specific identity, she immediately said hello. Deep inside, she was equally astonished. They had already guessed that Leng Mei came from an extraordinary background, but they truly hadn’t considered that she could be from Leng Hui’s family. This was too unexpected for her.

"We’re at home now, no need to be so formal. Please take a seat and chat. Leng Mei is my granddaughter, this is her home," Leng Hui said with a smile, waving his hand to signal everyone to sit down. It was much better to talk while sitting, and Leng Hui wasn’t surprised by Lin Yiwen and his wife’s reaction. Most people couldn’t remain calm upon meeting him, so the fact that Lin Yiwen and Zhang Lan were able to act this way was quite impressive already.

"Elder General Leng, there’s something I don’t understand. With the Leng Family’s reputation and status, how could you approve of the relationship between my son and Leng Mei?" After sitting down, Lin Yiwen couldn’t contain his amazement and voiced his question. To be honest, he couldn’t believe this was real. To think that the granddaughter of the renowned Leng Hui would become a lover to his son, with Leng Hui’s blessing, was unfathomable. No one would believe it if he told them.

"Yes, Elder General Leng, do you know everything about my son and Leng Mei? Why would you approve of their relationship? It’s causing us a great deal of concern," Zhang Lan added quickly after hearing her husband’s words. In her opinion, there was too great a gulf between the Leng and Lin families. It was already extremely fortunate for her son to be with Leng Mei, but how could the esteemed Leng Family ever agree to such a relationship? Unless her son and Leng Mei hadn’t communicated with Leng Hui? If that were the case, she would never allow her son to be with Leng Mei, as it would upset Elder Leng, something they definitely didn’t want to see happen.

"What do you two think of your son, Lin Feng?" Leng Hui ignored Lin Yiwen and Zhang Lan’s questions and steered the conversation in a different direction, smiling. From their expressions, Leng Hui could tell that Lin Feng probably hadn’t told them everything. If they had been aware, their reactions upon seeing him would have been different. Since that was the case, it was time to have a good talk with them about their precious son.

"After Lin Feng came back, he became a completely different person. We don’t know the specifics, but we feel like there’s no ordinary matter that could trouble our son," Lin Yiwen naturally responded to Leng Hui’s question, recounting what he remembered of his son, who he’d always seen as a prodigal. Observing the dramatic changes in his son, he couldn’t help but feel proud, as if vindicating the old saying, "A prodigal who returns is more precious than gold."

"Yes, Lin Feng became more respectful and more caring towards us. He’s been exceptionally good to us. Elder Leng, what are you getting at?" Zhang Lan answered after hearing Leng Hui’s question. Since their son had returned, he had changed tremendously, and she couldn’t express how happy that made her. But then she pondered a second thought—considering the influence of the Leng Family, it was impossible that they were interested in her son, so what... what exactly was going on?

"Actually, what you know is just the tip of the iceberg. Let Leng Hao tell you just how impressive your son really is." Hearing their responses, Leng Hui glanced at Lin Feng, sitting next to Leng Mei. He knew that Lin Feng’s parents were unaware of everything about him, knowing only the tip of the iceberg. It was time to let Leng Hao inform them about what kind of person Lin Feng truly was. There was no need for Lin Feng to keep hiding behind the scenes and let his biological parents remain in the dark about his actual situation.

Upon hearing Leng Hui’s words, Lin Feng immediately shook his head. Honestly, he didn’t want his parents to know about his current abilities, not for any other reason but fear that it might scare them. In truth, even he sometimes thought that if he hadn’t experienced those four years on the island, he himself would be astonished by the abilities he now possessed. He had realized this upon his return, and therefore, he hadn’t informed his parents about how truly formidable he now was.

But now, since Elder Leng had already spoken, there seemed to be no need to hide any longer. Sooner or later, they would have to face it. Seeing Leng Hao looking at him for confirmation, Lin Feng gave a slight nod, signaling Leng Hao to speak freely and without any reservations.

"Uncle, Auntie, Brother Lin is far more formidable than you can imagine," Leng Hao began, reassured by Lin Feng’s gaze. He shared everything he knew about Lin Feng. Honestly, when he first learned that Lin Feng possessed extraordinary abilities that ordinary people didn’t, he was also stunned beyond belief and couldn’t accept that someone as powerful as Lin Feng could exist in this world. But after learning about it from his sister and grandfather, and later seeing Lin Feng’s strength for himself in Tianhai, he finally understood just what kind of man his brother-in-law was!

This... this was well beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. Not to mention Brother Lin’s peerless status as a cultivator, even his abilities as a regular person surpassed what could be described as genius. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have captured the heart of the linguistically gifted sister nor the exceptionally talented Ding Wan’er...
