Over the years, Zhao Tianya had also sent many people to join Dragon Soul, but unfortunately, not everyone could join Dragon Soul. The difficulty of the entrance assessment was almost abnormal.
After all, Dragon Soul was a special operations force, and it was not enough to pass the assessment just by being able to fight. It was necessary to meet the comprehensive quality standards in various military aspects.
Although the Zhao Family had sent many skillful warriors to participate in the assessment over the years, they all failed in the end because their comprehensive quality was not up to standard.
Of course, it was also because of Xiao Baiyu's "special care" to the Zhao Family, which made the Zhao Family feel helpless about this plan.
After careful consideration, Zhao Tianya began to train Zhao Zilong in military aspects from an early age. When the time was ripe, he began to take genetic drugs to transform his physique. Finally, he forcibly passed the assessment and joined Dragon Soul with excellent results, which made Xiao Baiyu speechless.
At present, the plan had reached the most critical moment. The return of Xiao Chunan and Ning Ding, the champion of this year's three-army competition, became the biggest variables for Zhao Zilong to win the title of Dragon Teeth.
In fact, Zhao Zilong's winning the title of Dragon Teeth was not only related to the Zhao Family's century-long plan, but also Zhao Tianya's obsession because of Ding Lie.
He would never allow his painstakingly planned plan to have any changes. Even if it might destroy Zhao Zilong, his carefully cultivated successor, he had to put all his eggs in one basket.
Because of this selfishness, he deliberately concealed the risks of the latest genetic potion when he told Zhao Zilong about the risks of the latest genetic potion.
In fact, the medicinal properties of this latest genetic potion were not stable, and it had a mortality rate or gene mutation rate of up to 30%.
The success rate of 70% was already very high for Zhao Tianya, and it was worth a try. As long as he could survive, even if it was a gene mutation, there was still a 50% chance that Zhao Zilong could stimulate his superpower and become stronger.
"I'm willing to take it."
Zhao Zilong just hesitated a little and made a decision. The risk was less than 10%, and he didn't think he would be so unlucky.
Moreover, he had just received a huge shock. The dignified Andu's First Young Master had his bride kidnapped in public, and he could only endure it like a coward.
This extraordinary humiliation and full of anger had made him ignore everything else. He just wanted to become stronger as fast as possible, win the right to participate in Dragon Soul smoothly, amaze the world in the International Special Forces Competition, and become the new Dragon Fang of Dragon Soul. At that time, he would be successful at a young age, and with power in his hands, who would dare to look down on him, Zhao Zilong?
Most importantly, his informant reported that after the engagement banquet ended uneventfully, Shen Moru brought Shen Muqing directly back to the Shen family. He didn't give that damned bastard a chance to be alone with Shen Muqing.
Therefore, he felt that he still had hope. As long as he could lead Dragon Soul to win glory in the International Special Forces Competition, it was certain that he would become the new Dragon Teeth. Even Shen Moru would have to look at him differently. At that time, Shen Muqing would naturally know who was better between him and Ding Ning.
That night, even though the soundproofing effect of the Zhao family's courtyard was very good, the servants of the Zhao family could still vaguely hear the intermittent screams from time to time, which made them tremble with fear and thought that it was haunted.
In Xiaoyao Villa, Ding Ning was frowning. He sat on the sofa and wanted to cry but had no tears.
He thought that by making a scene and kidnapping the bride in public, he could get the beauty back, but he didn't expect Shen Moru to interfere and actually bring Shen Muqing back to the Shen family.
Before leaving, Shen Moru had a very short secret conversation with him. The content of the conversation was only two sentences. The first sentence was to show his identity. He turned out to be the chief guard of the Yulin Guard.
Alright, this was indeed sorrowful news. He didn't have any favorable impressions of the Featherwood Guard, not to mention that he'd once been at Swallow's Dock with one of them.
Not only did he have a conflict with the deputy chief guard in Swallow Dock, but he also punched Lieutenant Colonel Dong, who came to find trouble, and made him flee.
So when the Prime Minister expressed on behalf of the country that he would be conferred the position of deputy chief guard of the Yulin Guard and the rank of major general, he chose to politely refuse without hesitation.
Of course, he wasn't someone who didn't know what was good for him. He very generously offered a set of mecha that represented the most advanced technology of the Black Wind Empire, as well as the two captives of the United Front Department, Nicholas and Augustus, as compensation for his refusal. Only then did the Prime Minister's cloudy face brighten up.
He thought that the matter had come to an end, but he never thought that things would go around in circles again. The second sentence that Shen Moru, his future father-in-law, said was, "If you want to marry my daughter, it's not impossible, but I have a condition. Only you can become the chief instructor of the Yulin Guard with your own ability. Even if Muqing is to be your mistress, I will agree. Otherwise, even if the head of state speaks, I will never agree."
Shen Moru didn't give him a chance to bargain at all. As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and pulled Shen Muqing, who was reluctant to part, away.
Therefore, Ding Ning had a headache at the moment. He wasn't stupid, and his heart was like a mirror. He knew that Shen Moru's request didn't just represent himself, but the higher-ups hadn't given up yet.
The chief instructor of the Yulin Guard, Wu Shichong, codenamed Jia Lan, was the eldest son of the Wu family in Shudu. The two sides had irreconcilable contradictions, so it was not difficult to replace him.
However, he really had no interest in serving as the deputy chief guard of the Yulin Guard, let alone the chief instructor. Once he agreed to serve, it would be impossible for him to be a hands-off shopkeeper like he was in the Seventeenth Department.
Of course, this was only one aspect. On the other hand, he faintly guessed the higher-ups' intention. It seemed that they were very dissatisfied with the arsenal and wanted to use him to beat it … or to suppress the arsenal.
He didn't resent this. Anyway, he was not afraid of the itch when there were too many lice. Now the three Holy Halls, the Open Door, the Amaterasu Divine Palace, and the Descendants of God Organization all wanted to get rid of him, so he didn't care about one more arsenal.
But the problem was that the Yulin Guard and the National Warrior's Mansion had always stood on the opposite side. As the symbolic representative of the National Warrior's Mansion, if he turned around and joined the Yulin Guard, how would the outside world talk about him? How would the people of the National Warrior's Mansion look at him?
Living in the world, no one could really be independent. They would always live in the eyes of others, and he was no exception.
"Alas! They really think highly of me. "
Ding Ning scratched his head in annoyance and muttered with a frown.
"Is there anything that makes you unhappy? Can you tell me about it? Maybe I can give you some ideas? "
Yang Ting, who had been carefully observing his face, finally summoned up the courage to ask.
Ding Ning was stunned, and then he couldn't help laughing. "It's too complicated to talk about it. It's useless to tell you."
"Oh!"
Yang Ting responded softly in a well-behaved manner, but she couldn't hide the sadness in her eyes.
Ding Ning realized that he spoke too casually and ignored Yang Ting's feelings.
She had just been "sold" by her father, whom she had always respected and loved. She was in a sensitive stage of self-denial and self-doubt. Although she had the courage to live because of her "sugar daddy", it didn't mean that she had really walked out of this psychological shadow.
She didn't take the initiative to ask because she didn't think she could share her burden. She just wanted to use this method to prove that she wasn't useless and find the meaning of her existence.
Thinking of this, Ding Ning's heart ached. He reached out and pulled her into his arms. Sniffing the fragrance of her hair, he said softly and apologetically, "Tingting, it's not that I don't trust you. It's just that this matter is really complicated. However, since you want to hear it, I'll tell you slowly."
"Really?"
Yang Ting looked up abruptly.
The space between his brows was brimming with pleasant surprise.
Seeing this, Ding Ning felt distressed. This poor girl's self-confidence was on the verge of collapse. If he did not pay more attention to her, it was likely that she would become more and more self-abased, and eventually develop into serious depression. She would doubt herself and deny life. At that time, it would be too late to make up for it.
Holding her delicate face, Ding Ning kissed her gently on the lips. Then he picked her up and sat her on his lap. Ding Ning began to talk.
Yang Ting listened very carefully. Even though Ding Ning had tried his best to downplay the legendary color of his experience, she was still intoxicated and her beautiful eyes were full of splendor.
It took Ding Ning more than an hour to explain the ins and outs of the matter. Of course, he didn't expect Yang Ting to give him any advice. He just wanted to express his trust in her in this way to prevent her from developing depression because of her worries about personal gains and losses.
But he didn't expect that Yang Ting really gave him a surprise. She looked up at him and said seriously, "Then what do you think?"
"Alas! I'm worried because I can't make up my mind. "
Ding Ning said with a sigh.
"Do you … love the girl named Shen Muqing very much?"
Yang Ting hesitated for a moment and asked. There was no jealousy in her words, but a little nervousness.
Ding Ning knew that she was very sensitive now. If he was not careful, he would irritate her. But he couldn't go against his own heart. He said a little embarrassedly, "Maybe you will think I'm a jerk, but I don't want to deceive you. No matter Muqing, Yanyan or you, they are all irreplaceable in my heart."
Although these words were a little fake, Ding Ning said it confidently and affectionately, which made Yang Ting's heart melt instantly. She felt dizzy and her heart was full of happiness.
After all, she knew that Ding Ning was willing to accept her more out of pity and sympathy. Even though she knew that these words were fake, she still felt very happy.
Because she knew very well that when a man was willing to coax you with sweet words, it meant that he cared about you more or less. Otherwise, there was no need to lie to deceive you.
Perhaps that kind of care was not love, but to her, who now had nothing left, it was undoubtedly the greatest psychological comfort.
"Since you love her, you definitely won't abandon her, right?"
Yang Ting was the kind of girl who would immediately shine when given a little sunshine. Putting aside the factor of psychological shadow, she quickly saw the core essence of the problem and asked directly from the heart.
Well, although it was a very embarrassing thing to discuss with his own woman whether he loved another woman or not, Ding Ning had to admit that Yang Ting had asked the most tangled question in his heart.
Although he was confident that even if he didn't agree to Shen Moru's conditions, he would eventually get the beauty. But if he did that, even if Shen Muqing married him, she would not get the blessings of her family. This was not the result he wanted to see.
As he stepped into society and experienced more and more things, he finally understood that marriage was not just a matter of two people, but two families …
Well, to be exact, it was a matter of many families.
So, if possible, he would do his best in this aspect. Even if he could not make the woman's family accept him willingly, he would try his best not to leave any regrets. Otherwise, how could he be worthy of those women who were deeply in love with him?
So, Yang Ting's simple words made him wake up from his wavering entanglement.
Yes, since he couldn't give up Shen Muqing, what else was there to be entangled about?
