Physical mage, challenge me to a solo duel!

The atmosphere in the living room was slightly strange.

Xu Jin never expected to run into Wang Yi again in this place so soon after they parted ways.

As for Wang Yi, he was even more surprised, almost thinking that Xiang Sijun had deliberately bypassed his competitors to recruit people and then came to his house to ambush him.

Wait a minute, this isn't his house.

"Is this your home?" Xu Jin couldn't help but ask. He only knew that Xu Jun worked as a driver here, but he didn't know who the owner of the house was.

Since he was a descendant of his father's old friend, out of courtesy, Xu Jin did not use his authority to investigate before coming.

Could it be that Wang Yi is a descendant of my father's old friend?

"Of course... no." Wang Yi's gaze shifted back and forth between Xu Jin and Xu Jun.

I'd had a feeling something was off with Uncle Xu for a while, and now this is the solid proof.

The son is a major general in the army that fights to the death; how could the father be an ordinary person?

Or rather, the major general's father would come to Qi Xiaohao's house to work as a driver, earning a pittance... Well, Qi Xiaohao's family driver's salary is extremely high, definitely not a pittance.

But this only further proves that Qi's father also knows some inside information, and that Uncle Xu is definitely not an ordinary person.

"Uncle Xu, is this your son?" Qi Xiaohao finally realized what was going on. He had always heard that Uncle Xu's son was a soldier, and today he finally met him in person.

But how come this person knows Brother E?

Wait a minute, Uncle Xu is clearly my driver. Although Brother E and I are inseparable, this doesn't feel right.

It's supposed to be a movie with four people, but it always feels like one of them doesn't deserve a name.

How many things are there about you that I don't know?

"Yes, let me introduce you." Xu Jun said with a smile, "Xu Jin, this is my son, he's in the army. This is Qi Xiaohao, the young master. This is Wang Yi, it seems you already know each other."

"It's hard not to recognize him," Xu Jin couldn't help but remark.

"What do you mean, 'young master'? 'No master'? Uncle Xu, don't joke around. I've always considered you an elder. This is your son, and that's my older brother." Qi Xiaohao thumped his chest loudly, greeting Xu Jin in a very familiar manner.

"Brother, it's nice to meet you for the first time. I haven't prepared anything. After dinner, let's go to the underground parking garage and pick out some local specialties to take home. Don't be shy, make yourself at home."

Qi Xiaohao hadn't forgotten that when Brother E saw this person, he blurted out "Major General Xu".

Since "Major General" is not a name, it must be a military rank, and Qi Xiaohao was naturally well aware of the significance of this rank.

Such a young major general, Uncle Xu's son is truly a man of great talent.

Qi Xiaohao's enthusiasm left Xu Jin somewhat bewildered. After graduating from university, he served in the Death Army, spending most of his twelve years in the Zhenyuan. He had never experienced such overwhelming human warmth and social skills before.

What kind of local specialties could you possibly find in a garage? Big cows? Are local specialties being given away this wildly these days?

And what the hell is "Big Brother"?

Xu Jin is thirty-five years old this year, not much younger than Qi Xiaohao's father.

Xu Jun is sixty-six years old this year, which is obviously Qi Xiaohao's grandfather's generation, but Qi Xiaohao and Wang Yi have always called him Uncle Xu. Even Qi's father calls Xu Jun Uncle Xu, so the generational order is indeed a bit confusing.

"Xu..." Wang Yi had just started to speak when Xu Jin interrupted him.

"Fine, just call me..." After thinking for a few seconds, Xu Jin could only say somewhat aggrievedly, "Just call me Brother Xu too."

After all, his father was "Uncle Xu," so it was really inappropriate for him to call himself Uncle Xu again.

Wang Yi smiled slightly: "Brother Xu, if I had known you were Uncle Xu's son, there would have been no need for all this trouble. With our relationship, I could have just rejected the other four armies on the spot and joined your army directly."

"Is that so? Well, it's not too late for you to refuse now," Xu Jin said in a muffled voice.

That kid, he's good at offering hindsight advice.

Wang Yi remained calm: "It's a pity I've already promised Night Watch and Candlelight that I'd be doing an internship. A person cannot stand without integrity, and it's really not good to go back on my word."

"It's alright, you can come back to the Death Army in two years," Xu Jin said casually.

"No problem, no problem." Wang Yi laughed. "Or you could go to Uncle Xu's unit, it's all the same."

"No... "

"I've never been a soldier," Xu Jun interrupted Xu Jin with a chuckle.

Xu Jin glanced at Wang Yi furtively. This kid was cunning enough; he almost tricked him into revealing information.

Xu Jin's emotions fluctuated slightly, and since he was with his father, he was indeed not vigilant enough.

The identities of Night Watch soldiers are kept highly confidential within the military system. They often conceal their faces and use code names when they move around, precisely to avoid their identities being exposed and bringing harm to their families.

Of course, someone like Xu Jin, who grew up in the military region, was not afraid. However, before becoming a major general, Xu Jin only knew that Xu Jun served in the Night Watch Army.

Later, upon learning that his father was actually a Night Watch general, he understood one of the reasons why he had been able to advance so rapidly and be promoted to major general.

Even after retiring, Xu Jun's identity remains highly confidential. Even within the army, only a few high-ranking members were able to discover that Xu Jin's father was Xu Jun.

Xu Jun was unaware that one of Xu Jin's purposes in coming out this time was to extend an olive branch to Wang Yi on behalf of Xiang Sijun.

However, now that he had guessed it, he continued, "Xiao Yi, which unit you choose to join is something you should carefully consider. You decide your own path and don't worry about what we say."

"Okay, Uncle Xu." Wang Yi nodded obediently on the surface, listening to advice, but in his heart he was secretly analyzing Uncle Xu's identity.

Judging from Xu Jin's reaction just now, it seems that Uncle Xu did indeed serve in the military, and his rank might not have been low. Therefore, it is worth considering why he would become Qi Xiaohao's driver.

Uncle Xu had been Qi Xiaohao's driver for twelve years. This twelve-year timeframe easily reminded Wang Yi of the Battle of Liyuan thirteen years ago.

Wang Yi's parents were killed in that battle. If Uncle Xu was one of the few surviving soldiers of the Tianfu Army and came here because his comrade entrusted his orphan to him, then he should have come to be his driver, not Qi Xiaohao's driver.

What? He can't afford a driver?

That's fine.

Surely I can't take care of Qi Xiaohao by being his driver?

Thinking about this, Wang Yi found it even more interesting. Could it be that Uncle Xu was the 'family elder' he had been searching for?

What level is Uncle Xu at? High-level? Or, to be even bolder... extraordinary?

You know what, thinking about it this way makes perfect sense logically.

The only problem is age.

Uncle Xu is indeed of grandfatherly age, so it's unlikely he would have had much interaction with Wang Yi's parents. However, Wang Yi's grandparents are not members of the Tianfu Army.

Or perhaps Qi Xiaohao's grandparents?

Qi Xiaohao's maternal grandparents, Wang Yi, had met him; they were just ordinary billionaires. His paternal grandparents, however, had passed away in an accident more than ten years ago.

It was more than ten years ago again, what a coincidence.

However, Wang Yi was certain that Qi Xiaohao's grandparents were not from the Tianfu Army, because their deaths occurred slightly after the Battle of Liyuan.

Moreover, if Qi Xiaohao's grandparents were truly martyrs of the Tianfu Army, they wouldn't have claimed their deaths as accidental; this clearly suggests they were concealing the cause of their deaths.

Wang Yi suddenly remembered that when they entered the Zhuchuanyuan Bridge, Qi Xiaohao also received military dependent benefits.

Wang Yi had always thought that Qi's parents were secretly serving in the military, but now it seems that it might be Qi Xiaohao's grandparents who are serving in the military.

So here's the question: what kind of army soldiers have to keep their identities hidden even if they die?

Masaka...

After slowly sorting out these relationships, Wang Yi looked up at Uncle Xu sitting opposite him and felt that he was now missing a pair of round glasses that could shine.

There is only one truth.
