On the 17th of June, the Little Four Mercenary Team reached Planet Shanghai on schedule. The moment they left the port and entered Planet Shanghai, they felt as though they were in a dream. This place in front of them was so orderly and prosperous that some of the members exclaimed in awe.

As for the Rainbow Raiders, they parted ways with them after leaving the territory of the Chaotic Lands.

Compared to how enthusiastic they were when they left for the Chaotic Lands, this bunch of people were sad after they came back as they knew that their time with Boss had ended. They needed to return to 250 Ace Mecha Clan soon and had to suffer all kinds of questionings again.

"Tsk, what is this." Qi Long couldn't help but complain.

Han Jijyun was frustrated too. The stress and frustration he had were more than Qi Long. Qi Long still had two brothers to bear the burden with him while he was the only son of his family. He couldn't escape the responsibilities that he must take. During this period of time, the pressure from the elders in his family were suffocating him.

He looked at the calm Ling Lan. If Boss was still their regiment commander, everything would be great. He got emotional as he thought of this and shouted, "Boss, you must come back to 250 Ace Mecha Clan."

'As long as you come back, I'll have the courage to reject my father and stay at 250 Ace Mecha Clan with everyone else.'

Han Jijyun's words triggered everyone's thoughts. They raised their heads and looked at Ling Lan in antic.i.p.ation. They hoped that Ling Lan would give them a promise as an a.s.surance.

Ling Lan sighed in her heart. She patted Han Jijyun's shoulder and said, "I'm not able to interfere in this matter. Everything depends on fate. However, if there's a chance, I won't give

up."

Ling Lan was sincere. Her wish in the past was already forgotten. After the battle on Planet Haijiao, she didn't want to leave the military anymore. But, she still had to consider her father's safety. The battle on Planet Haijiao pushed her father and her into the spotlight. To reduce the burden on him, Ling Xiao had to make some sacrifices. Ling Xiao had already preempted her when she came back from the battle.

She was still too weak. If she was stronger, she might be able to help her father and not be pushed around like a piece of chess. Ling Lan retracted the unwillingness from her eyes. She was calm and cold again. She turned and looked at Liu Furong. "I'll send Aunt Liu to the Ling family. It's not suitable for you to bring them around now."

Liu Furong looked at Ling Lan gratefully. He was worried about what he should do with Aunt Liu too. After all, it was inappropriate for a supposedly single man like him to bring back a wife and two children suddenly. Plus, he was also in a very complex and dangerous situation. Thus, he couldn't implicate his family and friends by bringing them along with him but luckily, Ling Lan's solution solved this problem for him.

"What about their ident.i.ties?" Liu Furong could only ask his regiment commander for help. If not, Liu Aijun might not be able to attend the Scout Academy next year. He had already implicated his daughter so he didn't want to affect the future of his son too.

"I'll solve it. However, Aunt Liu and you might have to suffer." Ling Lan looked at Liu Furong apologetically.

Liu Furong was confused.

Ling Lan explained, "I'll give Aunt Liu a new ident.i.ty. She'll be the daughter of my Chamberlain Ling Qin and her name will be Ling Hua Yun."

Aunt Liu's surname was Hua. Ling Lan didn't want Aunt Liu to give up her surname so she used her surname in her new name.

Aunt Liu smiled gratefully at Ling Lan. She was touched by Ling Lan's selfless help and she also very excited about having foster parents as her actual parents had died when she was very young. She never expected to have two respectable elders as her new parents. She was overwhelmed with emotions. Most of it was excitement and grat.i.tude. She was finally able to fulfil her wishes when she was a child. Aunt Liu decided that she must be filial to her new parents.

"As for Aihua and Aijun, they'll be part of the Ling family too so that they will have the right to study the hereditary family martial arts of the Ling family. However, Liu Aihua's innate talent is amazing so you must groom her carefully. Don't waste her talent," Ling Lan spoke to Liu Furong seriously. At first, Ling Lan took pity on Liu Aihua because she had no father and she couldn't study in the Scout Academy. Now, after realizing that she was Liu Furong's daughter, she decided to not take her as her disciple. After all, she was Liu Furong's responsibility, right?

If Liu Furong knew that Liu Aihua had the possibility of becoming Ling Lan's disciple, he might have pleaded her to take Liu Aihua in. But, he wasn't aware of that now. He just knew that his regiment commander had done a lot for his family and it wouldn't be right for him to trouble Ling Lan any further. Thus, he listened to what she said and started considering how he should groom his daughter.

These were all future stories so we shall not mentioned them for now.

Ling Lan finished making arrangements for everyone before turning to look at President Tu's camp. She then showed an evil smile. "It's time for us to take our rewards and mechas.

President Tu was afraid that his merchant team would be implicated by Ye Shao and Dibi Luya so he escaped from the Chaotic Lands the moment he came out of the black market. Of course, he brought the mechas that belonged to Ling Lan along with him.

If Ling Lan didn't leave with the Rainbow Raiders, she might have to s.n.a.t.c.h a s.p.a.cecraft from someone in order to leave the Chaotic Lands.

As expected, it's troublesome when she didn't have her own s.p.a.cecraft. For the first time, Ling Lan wanted to buy her own s.p.a.cecraft.

Little Four felt Ling Lan's thoughts. He clenched his fist tightly as he decided to fulfill Boss's wish. He was going to give her a huge surprise.

'Boss's birthday is coming. Let me give her a s.p.a.cecraft as a present. Will she be happy?' Little Four felt elated as he imagined Boss kissing him out of happiness.

Little Four was extremely motivated by this thought.

It was actually quite easy for Little Four to get a s.p.a.cecraft. He just needed to move his fingers and the money would come to him. However, Little Four didn't just want to buy any normal s.p.a.cecraft for Boss. He wanted to give her the most extravagant, safest and studierst s.p.a.cecraft so that would be a little difficult to acquire.

Little Four felt that his brain was not big enough to think about this. He quickly grabbed Little Blossom who had an indifferent expression on his face. They started talking secretly among themselves in a small corner of the learning s.p.a.ce. Well, Little Four was the one who was talking most of the time. Little Blossom just sat there and listened to him patiently.
