As he spoke, he looked at Lin Yu with bright eyes, "In the previous stage, the secret war was full of good news. When I learned of your great achievements, I was very pleased. I saw the future of our Fengfu, and I also saw the future of Great Xia! I believe that your future will be even more outstanding than that of the Grand Marshal, and your achievements will be even more dazzling!" Shen Shi'en expressed his sincere admiration and expectations.
Lin Yu shook his head with a wry smile, "Lord Shen, you flatter me. I was just doing what I believed in!"
Under Shen Shi'en's eager gaze, Lin Yu accepted the letter of recommendation with both hands.

Shen Shi'en hesitated, his expression complex. After a long pause, he finally gritted his teeth and said, "There is indeed something I need to say. I hope you won't overthink it, Young Marshal..."
Lin Yu nodded and said with a smile, "My lord, please speak freely!"
“Well, then I’ll tell you!” Shen Shi’en sighed and said, “Actually, there’s nothing else. It’s just that back then, the Marshal and I made a verbal agreement to arrange a marriage between you and my daughter. However, things have changed now.
