Chapter 11: Yue Yao.

Gao Lin nodded and felt that her son's behavior was a little strange. "Yes, what's wrong?"

Tang Yuliang continued to stroke the white fox. He shook his head lightly in a somewhat absent-minded manner. "Nothing."

Seeing that their son didn't want to continue this topic, they could only shift to talk about something else and wait for the two children to meet someday, then they could communicate about this matter by themselves, and whether the two were willing to become each other's partner or not, it depended on them. As parents, they could only wait and see.

Tang Zhongwen glanced at the white fox laying on his son's lap with interest. "What is Frost's spiritual power level now?"

Tang Yuliang touched the white fox's ear and replied to his father. "His spiritual power is already peak-level-five."

Frost heard this and let out a low howl. Tang Zhongwen nodded his head with appreciation and couldn't help praising his precious son. "You really cultivate them well." This statement was not only meant to Frost but also Tang Yuliang's other contracted spiritual beasts.

In this era, not only had technology developed but humans and creatures had also evolved. All the creatures had become mutant beasts, they could devour their own kind to advance their strength. As for humans, they also had a spiritual core that could help them sign a spiritual contract with the spiritual beasts, which could help them fight during the battle.

People who had a spiritual core would be called spiritual masters. Minshang University only accepted students that had spiritual cores, whether they were military students, medical students, scientific research students, or science technology students, they all needed to have spiritual cores.

The requirements for the military students were much stricter than that of the other three major students. The military students needed to be at least level-four spiritual masters, or else they would not be able to enter the Military Department in Minshang University.

The Star Empire had no monarch like the other three empires. This empire had been controlled by the five big families, which were the Zhang and Tang Families in Star City, the Nangong Family in Twilight City, the Yue Family in Moon City, and the Baili Family in Nightfall City.

Therefore, the statues of the descendants of the five big families were similar to that of the royal princes and princesses. However, these five powerful families were not at all at peace, they would always bite each other in the dark as long as they had a chance. Among these five families, only the Zhang and Tang families were in harmony, which was also a threat to the other three big families.

This matter was also known to all the people in the Star Empire. The monarchs in other empires also knew about this, and they often stared at the Star Empire closely, as long as a conflict broke out between these five families, the other empires would not hesitate to declare war during the critical moment.

Yet, it had been many years already but nothing had happened, which also made the three empires suspicious whether these five families were really at odds with each other.

After talking with his parents about other matters for some time, Tang Yuliang was finally able to leave his parents and go to his room, while carrying the white fox in his arms.

A sudden male voice filled with curiosity could be heard from the white fox's mouth. "Master, your mood doesn't seem to be quite right."

Tang Yuliang closed his eyes, squeezed his lips tightly before he said with hesitation, "My fiancé...do you think they are the same person?"

After all, Frost was his contract spiritual beast, and he should have stayed in his spiritual domain whenever he went to school, so Frost would also be able to see what had happened in school, and those who he had contacted with.

The white fox raised his head, glancing at his master's smooth jaw. Those pairs of eyes were one blue and one red, which appeared to be extremely cold and was very in line with Tang Yuliang's personality. Frost lowered his head and continued to lay down in Tang Yuliang's arms. "I can't just answer randomly."

He pondered for a moment and suggested. "If he is a famous figure, then you can also find him on the Star Network."

Tang Yuliang stroked the white fox in his arms and nodded silently. He pushed open his bedroom door, placed Frost on the floor, letting the other party walk around by himself. Tang Yuliang took out his communicator that had alway been with him but never used. He turned the communicator on and searched on the Star Network just like what Frost had suggested.

Sitting on the bed, Tang Yuliang stared at the holographic screen that appeared in front of him with many news related to his husband-to-be. The other party was in the same generation as his eldest brother, which meant his fiancé was one generation older than him.

Immediately afterward, Tang Yuliang was attracted by the post title that had more than 1 million clicks. The title was "Young Lieutenant Colonel Zhang's history". It was relatively a simple title but it attracted a lot of people's attention.

Tang Yuliang was also curious, hence he clicked on the post, and what appeared in front of him was a young man dressed in military uniform, wearing a black mask. He had a tall figure with broad shoulders, making him appear to be really strong. The man curved his lips into a smile, there was also a hint of laziness and somewhat playfulness in his eyes that could make both men's and women's hearts beat faster within a second just by being stared at by such a look.

Tang Yuliang was dumbfounded. He gazed at the picture in front of him in a daze. For some reason, he felt that this man really had a similar figure and expression as the Zhang Gushen that he knew. But if these two people were the same person, then why did Zhang Gushen enter Minsheng University as a junior military student and study patiently until now?

Frost jumped on the bed, laid down beside Tang Yuliang calmly before he commented, "I think this person really looks similar to the Zhang Gushen that we know."

Tang Yuliang nodded, then he tried to search more, intending to find extra pictures about this young Lieutenant Colonel Zhang's true appearance.

Fifteen minutes later, Tang Yuliang sat motionlessly with an emotionless face, looking at the holographic screen that appeared in front of him. All the photos were of this young lieutenant colonel wearing a black mask, seeming really mysterious, and none of the people in the Star Network had ever seen his true appearance.

Therefore, Tang Yuliang turned his head to Frost, who was lying beside him. One beast, one human, looking at each other without any extra emotion on their face. After a long silence, Tang Yuliang pursed his lips slightly, feeling a little irritated that he couldn't find what he wanted to know.

Suddenly, the communicator rang, showing that someone had called in. Tang Yuliang was stunned for a moment before he answered the call.

"Xiao Liang, it's been a long time." The young man who appeared on the holographic screen revealed a smile. When he smiled, his eyes curved up, and his eyelashes drooped slightly. There was also an eye-catching mole located on the left, above his upper lip.

Within a glance, one knew immediately that this person had a kind of gentle and calm temperature, accompanied by a stunning look, which was not inferior to Tang Yuliang's appearance. If these two people were standing together, people could tell that one was a calm beauty, while the other was a cold beauty. This was no different from water and ice.

"A-Yao." Tang Yuliang called the other party's name softly.

The young man that appeared on the holographic screen was Yue Yao, the second young master of the Yue Family in Moon City, one of the five big families. In fact, not many people knew about Yue Yao's appearance nor did they usually hear about this Second Young Master Yue. After all, he was born as a beta, he couldn't become a soldier in the future even if he wanted to. Every Military Department in all universities in the Star Empire would not accept betas and omegas.

Therefore, betas and omegas had been looked down upon by alphas the most. Especially omegas, many people thought that omegas could only do housework and be married to alphas. What's more, if an omega was fully marked by an alpha, then they had to depend on that person for their entire life unless they washed off the mark. However, washing off the mark was also a painful thing that some omegas couldn't bear.

As for alphas, they were different from betas and omegas. Alphas were one of the powerful genders among the three, and they also could mark more than two omegas.

Nevertheless, the Yue Family also spoiled Yue Yao so much that they didn't care at all even if Yue Yao was born as a beta. Besides, since Yue Yao had never appeared in front of the public, no one knew clearly about Yue Yao's temperature and appearance. Mostly, he only attended some big events, such as when the five big families gathered.

Yue Yao chuckled lightly. "It has been two years, you finally used the communicator again."

Tang Yuliang ignored this remark, and asked frankly, "You are not calling me because of this, right?"

The other party seemed to be used to Second Young Master Tang's behavior, thus he immediately got into the topic. "Three years had passed since the last World Military Competition. This year—" Yue Yao paused for a moment, then he added with a serious expression. "I want to participate in the competition."

Tang Yuliang sank into deep thought. After a while, he opened his mouth. "But you also know about our current situation..."

Since he was a child, his dream was to be a soldier even though he knew clearly that as an omega, he was not eligible to join the Military. But Tang Yuliang had never given up, if he had an opportunity, he still wanted to show everyone that omegas could also be a soldier, omegas could also become powerful like alphas.

Yue Yao sighed. He lifted his eyes, glancing at Tang Yuliang through the holographic screen, and said firmly, "Let talk about this with our old men. I'm sure that in the future, we will be the pride of betas and omegas."

Tang Yuliang was stunned for a moment.

Yue Yao continued, "Xiao Liang, don't forget that before we are qualified to participate in the World Military Competition, Minshang University will hold a domestic Military Competition. Other universities in the Star Empire will also hold a competition to choose the most powerful student to participate in the domestic Military Competition."

Tang Yuliang seemed to realize what Yue Yao meant. "We let our old men give us this chance to participate in the Military Competition, and if we are eliminated in the competition, then we will study our current major honestly, and stop thinking about what we used to think."

Yue Yao nodded with a gentle smile appearing on his beautiful face, and he didn't even forget to praise. "Sure enough, our Xiao Liang is indeed smart."

Tang Yuliang was expressionless. "Thank you for your compliment." Then he suddenly thought of something. "A-Yao."

"Hm?"

Tang Yuliang took a deep breath and asked, "Do you know about the engagement between me and..." The little guy frowned a little. For a moment, he didn't know how to call this husband-to-be of his at all.

Although Tang Yuliang didn't finish what he said, Yue Yao still understood it. "I know. Not only me who knew about this matter, but the four big families are also aware of this, including the big ones and small ones."

Naturally, the big ones and the small ones were from the older generation to the younger generation.

Upon hearing this, Tang Yuliang was surprised. In other words, he was the only one who had been kept in the dark by his parents, and whenever the younger generation of the five big families met, no one mentioned this because they weren't familiar with each other. So it wasn't strange.

"Then, Have you ever met him?"

Yue Yao raised his brows. "Are you talking about Brother Shen?"

Tang Yuliang nodded.

Yue Yao: "I did meet him once during grandpa's birthday three years ago. At that time, you were sick, so you didn't attend."

Tang Yuliang murmured, "Three years ago?" He asked, "After that he had never appeared in any events or celebration again?"

Yue Yao said with uncertainty, "I'm not sure. Xiao Liang, you also know that I rarely participate in those occasions."

"You're right, I almost forgot about this." Tang Yuliang asked again after some hesitation in his heart. "Then...do you have his picture?" He added, "The picture that he doesn't wearing a mask."

Yue Yao shook his head. "No. From what I've heard, he didn't wear a mask when entering the events that were arranged by the five big families, but when a group photo in the event was needed, Brother Shen would wear a mask."

"Why?" To be honest, Tang Yuliang was really puzzled as to why this young lieutenant colonel always wore a mask, which was very different from his elder brother.

As if he had thought of something, the corner of Yue Yao's mouth twitched slightly. "Do you really want to know?"

Tang Yuliang didn't make a sound but stared at the other party strangely.

On the other hand, Yue Yao thought that Tang Yuliang's silence was acquiesced to his question. Hence, he told his friend about Zhang Gushen's response at that time with an unusual expression, "I asked him, and Brother Shen said my appearance is too handsome which makes me afraid that even my enemies can't stand my charm'."

Tang Yuliang: "..."

Why did he suddenly feel that this shameless remark was really in line with Zhang Gushen's personality?
