novelThis Old Guy!

In a single day, the human fleet had taken over all the resource points.
The massive fleet went to the edge of the Geka System and stood off against the vast base of the Blade Demon Race.
In the main ship, Zuoqiu Xunshuang approached a window and looked at the vast base with a sneer on her face."I wonder what would they feel upon seeing our fleet docking at the place they resided?" Iman smiled."Don't get careless. The territory of the Blade Demon Race is nearby. They can always send reinforcements at any time. From now on, assign five people per squad. Monitor the base of the Blade Demon Race at all times. If they ask for support, we need to rethink whether we should retreat."
Everyone nodded.
The five star states remained while the rest left the main ship.
Lu Ze and the girls followed Zuoqiu Xunshuang back to her own ship, which was the vehicle they boarded.
Lu Ze asked, "By the way, Aunty Xunshuang, where is Brother Lin Kuang and his group?"
Zuoqiu Xunshuang replied, "Probably on Lin Yan's ship. Are you going to give them the red orbs?"
Lu Ze nodded."Yes, now is a good chance."
Zuoqiu Xunshuang smiled and patted his shoulder."Go over by yourself. You know Xiao Yan anyways."
She smiled cheekily at Lin Ling. Lin Ling looked down in embarrassment while Lu Ze just laughed.
At this moment, Nangong Jing stretched her back, showing off her curvaceous body."It's no big deal. You can go alone. I'm going back to cultivate."
Qiuyue Hesha smiled."I won't accompany you either."
Alice and Lu Li had the same response.
Lu Ze: "???"
'What?'
'Did they choose to cultivate rather than join him?'
'Did they assume they can surpass him by doing so?'
'Pfft, naïve!'
Anyway, he could always cultivate after running the errand. Following such, he looked at Lin Ling."Lin Ling, how about you?"
She hadn't talked to Uncle Ling for a long time after all. He decided it was better for her to follow him.
Lin Ling hesitated for a moment before nodding Zuoqiu Xunshuang grinned."Then, you two, go ahead. Say hello to Lin Yan for me."
Lu Ze nodded. Then, he grabbed Lin Ling's hand and used space god art.
With this, Nangong Jing and the girls rapidly went into their rooms to start cultivating.
Lu Ze and Lin Ling appeared in the main hall. The guards looked vigilantly at the two, but when they realized their identities, they immediately stood straight and saluted.
"Greetings, Monarch of the New Dawn and Young Duke Ling!" Lu Ze asked, "Hello, where is Marshal Lin?" A high-level planetary state guard answered, "He is in his office. Should I take you over?"
He looked eagerly at Lu Ze and Lin Ling.
Lu Ze's mouth twitched. Surely, if he rejected the offer, the other person would be hurt. He didn't seem like a planetary state boss at all.
Lu Ze smiled and nodded."Then, thank you, general."
This high-level planetary state guard shook his head."Not a problem, please follow me."
After the two departed, the guards revealed expressions of admiration.
"Those are Monarch of the New Dawn and Young Duke Ling! The reports provided that the battle at Geka System ended so quickly because of their overwhelming power."
"I know this. Rumor has it, his power can rival the old star states. This is unbelievable!" "Yes, he had recently broken through last month. This is too terrifying."
"Young Duke Lin Ling's power is extraordinary too. I'll tell you guys one thing though. Don't spread it around."
The guard looked around vigilantly."What is it? Tell us!"
The guard coughed out."Last night, when I was walking down the corridor, I saw Marshal Lin smile. It is probably because of Young Duke Lin Ling, right?"
The atmosphere fell silent.
Everyone took in a cold breath.
"Y-you... are saying Marshal Lin cracked a smile?!"
The guard confirmed it."I'm not blind. It was just an instant, but I'm certain he smiled!"
Everyone looked at each other in disbelief.
'Cold-faced Hades Lin Yan can smile?!'
This seemed disturbing. The guard coughed."Um... let's not discuss this anymore."
The other guards quickly changed the topic.
"Um... I really want to lead Monarch of the New Dawn and Young Duke Lin Ling myself."
"Unfortunately, General Wu is our superior."
"Sigh... my kid admires the Monarch of the New Dawn so much. He wanted me to get an autograph from him. Now, this can't happen."
In the corridor, the general chatted with Lu Ze and Lin Ling eagerly while leading the way. He smiled."Monarch of the New Dawn, my daughter admires you so much. If it's convenient, can you give me your..."
Before he could finish, he saw Lin Ling smiling at him. His mouth twitched.
Lu Ze was confused."Give you what, General Wu?!
He found out along the way that his name was Wu Wenhai. He has a daughter who also graduated from Federal University. She was their senior.
Wu Wenhai faked a cough."W-want an autograph."
He took out pen and paper from his storage ring Lu Ze: "..."
He took it and signed accordingly.
Wu Wenhai put it away carefully. He sighed. 'Daughter, it's not because dad doesn't want to help you, but if I do, I might not live anymore... '
Moments later, they arrived at Lin Yan's office.
He knocked and reported, "Marshal, Monarch of the New Dawn and Young Duke Lin Ling is here."
A voice responded, "Let them in."
Wu Wenhai smiled."Please enter. I'll go ahead then." Lu Ze nodded."Thank you for leading the way."
The two went in.
Lin Yan was sitting at his desk while doing some work. He looked up at Lu Ze and Lin Ling.
The father-and-daughter paired stared at each other. The atmosphere was a little awkward.
Lu Ze smiled."Uncle Lin, I have some energy orbs that might be suitable for you."
Lin Yan asked, "Are you talking about the orbs you use to cultivate?"
Lu Ze nodded and handed over a storage ring. There were a lot of level-1 and level-2 star state red orbs, as well as a few level-3 star state red orbs. He also reserved some for Uncle Merlin and Aunty Honglian.
Lin Yan was a bit moved. He took a deep look at Lu Ze and said, "When are you two having kids?"
Lin Ling: "???"
She finally realized how Sister Jing felt. She was being sold by her own father! This old guy!
Lu Ze's mouth twitched."Um... we're planning to do it soon."
Then, he quickly changed the subject."By the way, where are Brother Lin Kuang and the others?"
Lin Yan's face returned to being cold."He is cultivating. If he has even half of your talent, I will finally feel relieved."
Lu Ze couldn't really answer that. He laughed it off."Then, Uncle Lin, you can have a chat with Lin Ling. I'll find them first."
Lin Yan noticed Lin Ling didn't object, so he agreed."The room at the end of the corridor is theirs. Go ahead."
