"She's still not willing?"
Shangguan Yuanhao looked at Zhou Meng with a calm expression. No one could tell whether he was happy, angry, sad, or happy.
"Captain, Lin Lin's mind just changed for a moment."
Zhou Meng said to Shangguan Yuanhao, "I'll go back and persuade her. She'll understand that we're doing this for her own good."
Hearing Zhou Meng's words, Shangguan Yuanhao shook his head and said indifferently, "You know Lin Lin, and I also know her. We both know what kind of person she is. There's no meaning in brushing me off like this."
Zhou Meng couldn't help but fall silent. For a moment, he didn't know what to say.
"We're letting Lin Lin and Ying Er become Dao Companions because we're thinking about them. We're thinking about the bigger picture. Right now, our Star Dragon Federation is in danger. The survival of the human race is right in front of us. We absolutely can't miss any chance to increase our strength."
Shangguan Yuanhao looked deeply at Zhou Meng, "No matter if Lin Lin agrees or not, she has to become Dao Companions with Ying Er. This is the wish of me, her teacher, and also the wish of you, her father. She has to comply!"
"Captain, isn't this a bit too tough on Lin Lin?"
Zhou Meng frowned slightly, "Lin Lin has her own thoughts. We can't force our thoughts on Lin Lin."
"Zhou Meng, please wake up."
Shangguan Yuanhao's face sank, "This isn't an era of peace. We can let Lin Lin do whatever she wants. This is an era of war!
Do you know how many days we have to prepare?
Do you know how big of a crisis we're facing right now?
Lin Lin's stubbornness will cause us to lose two Nascent Soul Stage experts. Do you know that such a loss is very likely to cause us to lose everything?! "
Facing Shangguan Yuanhao's series of questions, Zhou Meng was speechless. As a higher-up of Black City, he naturally knew about Kargard's matter. He also knew that the human race had less than a hundred days to prepare. If they couldn't solve Kargard's problem in a hundred days, they would be facing a tragic war of extermination!
What they needed to do now was to increase their strength as much as possible before the war of extermination. This way, they would have a higher chance of survival in the future!
"I know what to do." Zhou Meng pursed his lips and said, "I will give you a satisfactory answer within three days."
Shangguan Yuanhao shook his head again and said earnestly to Zhou Meng, "Zhou Meng, you have to understand one thing. You're not doing this for me, and you're not doing this to satisfy me. You're doing this for all of us.
When the end of the world comes, whether it's you or me, we're just ants struggling to survive. There's no difference! "
"I understand what you mean." Zhou Meng nodded solemnly. "I am working hard for all of us!"
Shangguan Yuanhao stood at the door and watched Zhou Meng leave. When Zhou Meng's figure completely disappeared, a figure suddenly appeared behind him.
"Teacher."
The figure that suddenly appeared stood behind Shangguan Yuanhao respectfully and said to Shangguan Yuanhao in a low voice, "There's news from the elven city. Zerg attacked the elven city at night in an attempt to undo the seal on Kargad, but he failed."
Shangguan Yuanhao slowly turned around and looked at the figure standing behind him. He asked, "Ying 'er, how much of my conversation with Zhou Meng did you hear?"
The person that Shangguan Yuanhao referred to as Ying 'er was naturally Si Tuying, Zhou Lin's senior.
Faced with Shangguan Yuanhao's question, Si Tuying did not dare to hide anything. She answered honestly, "Teacher, I heard the entire conversation between you and Uncle Zhou. I know that you and Uncle Zhou have put in a lot of effort to matchmake Zhou Lin and me."
To Si Tuying, women were not essential on the path of cultivation. He could choose to have a partner or not. He just wanted to let nature take its course. As for the choice of a partner, he felt that as long as they were of equal social status, there were not many conditions.
Zhou Lin, on the other hand, was the most suitable candidate for him in terms of status, appearance, and talent. As such, he did not object to the matchmaking between Shangguan Yuanhao and Zhou Meng. As for Zhou Lin's attitude, he did not take it to heart either. In his opinion, Zhou Lin's opinion was not more important than Zhou Meng and Shangguan Yuanhao's opinions combined.
It was up to the parents and the matchmaker.
In the end, he and Zhou Lin would probably be forced to be together. Although it was said that nothing forcibly done would be sweet, it would be enough for them to successfully advance to the Nascent Soul Stage.
"Out of all my disciples, only you and Lin Lin are still alive. I hope that the two of you can become partners and support each other so that you can have a better life in this apocalyptic world."
Shangguan Yuanhao sighed and said to Si Tuying, "This is my only wish as a teacher. You should interact with Lin Lin more often so that she can discover your strengths. That way, the two of you can have a better life in the future."
"I understand, teacher."
Si Tuying agreed and handed the information that she had just received to Shangguan Yuanhao.
Shangguan Yuanhao took the information and took a look. He then frowned and said softly, "Four Star Celestial Formation?"
Hearing Shangguan Yuanhao's muttering, Si Tuying explained to him, "Teacher, this Four Star Celestial Formation was discovered by Lü Zi and the others when they were exploring some ruins in the universe. They had never used it before. However, they used this formation when they were fighting against Zerg's Consul yesterday. It was surprisingly effective. They were able to kill Zerg's Consul while they were only in the Golden Core Stage."
After hearing Si Tuying's explanation, Shangguan Yuanhao squinted his eyes and said, "If I remember correctly, these people should be Qinchuan's friends."
When Si Tuying heard Shangguan Yuanhao mention Qinchuan's name, her heart skipped a beat. She said to Shangguan Yuanhao, "They are not just Qinchuan's friends. I think they are best friends. Lü Zi, in particular, is deeply in love with Qinchuan. When they were in the world within a world, she rejected countless suitors. Even the elites among the quasi Heirs could not move her."
"How can a quasi Heirs be compared to Qinchuan?"
Shangguan Yuanhao laughed coldly. "However, no matter how talented Qinchuan is, it is useless. After all, he is already a dead man."
After the Center of Kunlun Field's Heir fell, Shangguan Yuanhao had specifically asked around about the monitoring department. From what he knew, no prisoners were able to escape from the monitoring department's prison when the monitoring department fell. Even if Qinchuan did not die in the prison, he should have died at the hands of Zerg.
