Qin Rouyu's father was clearly going to shield Zhang Hanyang.
A smile appeared on Zhang Hanyang's lips. Military families like Qin Rouyu's were strictly disciplined. If Qin Rouyu's parents did not agree, then Qin Rouyu could not divorce him.
Qin Rouyu spoke, "Chen Jiuyang is the same age as me. He is a medical professor at Fengcheng Medical College."
"He comes from a rural background and has reached this point entirely through his own abilities. Isn't that more outstanding than Zhang Hanyang?"
"I didn't ask you," the old man said faintly, looking at Chen Jiuyang. "Have you had military experience? Zhang Hanyang served in the army for two years to get engaged to Rouyu."
Zhang Hanyang was overjoyed. Chen Jiuyang, from a rural background and a former student of Fengcheng Medical College, now a professor, how could he have military experience? The old man was clearly protecting him.
Chen Jiuyang thought for a moment and said, "I did for a year."
As soon as he said this, Qin Rouyu and Zhang Hanyang were stunned. The old man and old woman were also dumbfounded.
The old man asked, "How can you prove it? Which unit did you serve in? I'll call to verify it immediately."
Chen Jiuyang sat up straight and said, "I served as a military doctor in the Sharp Blade Legion for a year. If you know the phone number of Commander Li Weiguo, you can call him to verify. Also, the Zhu family of Fengcheng can prove my identity."
"Sharp Blade Legion!" the old man exclaimed. "The elder of the Zhu family of Fengcheng was the former commander of the Sharp Blade Legion and my instructor in the recruit camp. I'll call him right now."
Qin Rouyu was also surprised. Chen Jiuyang had disappeared for a year and had been a military doctor in the legion. No wonder he had changed so much.
As he spoke, the old man took out a small notebook from his pocket, revealing densely packed phone numbers, looking quite old. He flipped to a number and took out his phone to make the call.
"Ring! Ring!"
The call connected, and the voice on the other end was Zhu Jianjun: "Who is this?"
Anyone who could directly call Elder Zhu's number was certainly not ordinary.
After the old man revealed his identity, Zhu Jianjun smiled and said, "So it's Squad Leader Qin. Is there something you need to ask the elder about?"
The old man asked, "I want to inquire about someone. A person claiming to be Chen Jiuyang said he served as a military doctor in the Sharp Blade Legion for a year. Do you know this person?"
Zhu Jianjun chuckled, "Of course, I know him. Jiuyang has a good relationship with my Zhu family. He not only cured my elder's illness but also my old injuries. He is a divine doctor that my subordinate specifically invited from the Sharp Blade Legion."
"Squad Leader Qin, is there something you need to inquire about him?"
Old Man Qin smiled outwardly, "Yes, my daughter brought him here, and I wanted to inquire if his background is true."
Zhu Jianjun said on the phone, "Squad Leader Qin, you should hold onto Jiuyang as a golden son-in-law. He is very sought after in Feng Province now."
Chen Jiuyang said faintly, "Second Master, I'm sitting right here. Uncle Qin has the phone on speaker."
"Cough, cough..." Zhu Jianjun coughed twice. "Divine Doctor Chen, you are welcome to visit my Zhu family anytime. Squad Leader Qin, I'm hanging up now."
With that, Zhu Jianjun hung up the phone.
Zhu Jianjun's reaction indirectly told Old Man Qin that the young man before him had an unusual status. Zhu Jianjun had quickly hung up the phone after a casual remark from Chen Jiuyang, fearing that Chen Jiuyang might be displeased.
Who in Fengcheng didn't know his identity as Second Master Zhu?
With the fact that Chen Jiuyang had served as a military doctor in the Sharp Blade Legion confirmed, Old Man Qin and Old Woman Qin looked at Chen Jiuyang with much gentler eyes.
From a rural background, outstanding abilities, military experience, and close ties with the Zhu family.
The old couple found Chen Jiuyang more and more pleasing to the eye.
Coupled with their daughter Qin Rouyu's affection, the old couple exchanged glances. Old Man Qin got a small cup for Chen Jiuyang and poured him a drink: "Your aunt was also a military doctor back then, and you were also a military doctor. For that reason alone, let's have a drink, son."
"Good." Chen Jiuyang raised his wine glass and clinked it with Old Man Qin's, then drank it down heartily.
Old Woman Qin said, "Hanyang, you can go home now. I'll visit my old comrades later to discuss your divorce from my daughter."
Zhang Hanyang's face turned deathly pale: "...Mom"
Chen Jiuyang's eyes narrowed, and he coldly shouted at him, "Still not leaving, you shameless wretch!"
Zhang Hanyang's face flushed with anger and then paled. Gritting his teeth, he left.
Qin Rouyu's expression changed from gloomy to sunny, and her pretty face broke into a smile: "Mom, this is a gift Jiuyang brought for you."
As she spoke, Qin Rouyu handed the string of prayer beads to Old Woman Qin. The old woman's eyes lit up as she took the bracelet: "This is a good thing. This child is thoughtful in choosing gifts."
As former military doctors, Chen Jiuyang knew they couldn't stand seeing lives lost.
Old Man Qin said, "Jiuyang, how many people are in your family?"
Chen Jiuyang replied, "My parents are in good health. I have a sister who is a student in Rouyu's undergraduate-master's program."
Old Woman Qin nodded: "Since Rouyu has brought you here, leave your parents' phone number. We'll have a meal together later to get acquainted and finalize your marriage with Rouyu."
"Alright," Chen Jiuyang said with a smile.
Old Woman Qin added, "You two should get married soon so I can hold my grandchild earlier. At our age, we don't have many hopes left, only this one wish."
Chen Jiuyang chuckled: "I have no problem, it depends on Rouyu."
Qin Rouyu blushed unusually: "Pfft, what are you saying in front of Mom and Dad."
"Hahahaha!" Chen Jiuyang laughed heartily. "Indeed, I should bring Rouyu to meet my parents."
Old Man Qin asked, "Jiuyang, what is your main job now?"
This question made Chen Jiuyang's expression falter. After a moment of thought, he said, "My main job now should be preparing for battle, getting ready to participate in the Martial Rankings."
"Clatter—"
Both Old Man Qin and Old Woman Qin dropped their chopsticks.
Old Man Qin's eyes were filled with surprise: "Jiuyang, you are a martial artist?"
Chen Jiuyang nodded: "Rouyu is also a martial artist now."
Old Man Qin asked, "What is your current strength?"
"By chance, I have entered the Profound Realm," Chen Jiuyang replied.
Old Man Qin's voice suddenly turned cold: "You can go back."
Old Woman Qin added, "Don't eat this meal."
"Dad! Mom!" Qin Rouyu didn't quite understand why the old couple's attitude had suddenly become so cold.
"Be quiet!" Old Man Qin reprimanded Qin Rouyu and said coldly to Chen Jiuyang, "Chen Jiuyang, you should go home first."
Chen Jiuyang was also bewildered.
Old Man Qin said sternly, "I only hope my daughter lives a simple and ordinary life."
"You and Rouyu are not a good match."
Chen Jiuyang was thus driven out of Qin Rouyu's home, leaving him completely confused.
In the past, outsiders were happy to know he was in the Profound Realm. Why was he unwelcome here?
