At this moment, Ling Lan didn't relax even though the silver sand had been successfully deposited in their respective points. Instead, she prepared herself for the incoming recoil the hardware was generating.

Little Four's learning device wasn't the average learning device, to begin with. Thus, the process of upgrading it wasn't also a normal process too. The recoil generated during an upgrade was enough to devastate a normal person. Only people with exceptionally strong spiritual power would be able to endure such recoil. Even so, the price they had to pay to endure such torment was not to be slighted either.

However, this amount of recoil didn't put pressure on Ling Lan as she had the spiritual cultivation of the Divine Command sect which was already close to G.o.d-realm.

Ling Lan withstood the strongest three waves of recoil. After enduring those waves, the waves got decreasingly less powerful. As the waves of recoil ended, Ling Lan finally relaxed. She knew that it was the sign that the hardware of the learning device had upgraded successfully.

“You have done well.” Number One, who was guarding Little Four, suddenly opened his mouth.

“Thank you, Number One,” Ling Lan appeared behind Number One silently and whispered.

After enduring the recoil, Ling Lan hurriedly came into the learning s.p.a.ce to inspect the effects of the upgrade had on Little Four.

“Little Four's condition is improving. Don't worry.” Number One knew what Ling Lan was worried about so he gave her the answer first.

“Is the upgrade enough for Little Four to wake up?” During this period of time when Little Four was in a coma, Ling Lan realised how important he was to her. Without Little Four, her heart felt empty. She knew that Little Four might wake up after this but the strong and confident Ling Lan suddenly felt afraid. She was scared that her expectation was set too high that the reality would disappoint her.

“Even if he doesn't wake up now, it won't be long before he does,” Number One said calmly.

“That's good.” Ling Lan's gaze turned firm. Being weak was just temporary. Being strong was eternal.

“Number One, Little Blossom's situation is improving!” Number Five suddenly appeared in the room and exclaimed in surprise.

Number One frowned. He lowered his voice and said to Ling Lan, “I'll go and take a look.”

He disappeared with Number Five without waiting for Ling Lan's reply.

Only Little Four, who was hovering in mid-air, was left in the room, as well as Ling Lan, who was standing beside him.

Ling Lan stretched her hand out. Her slender and glowing fingers gently caressed Little Four's chubby cheeks. Even though he had been in a coma for such a long time, he still maintained his chubby and cute look.

Little Four's whiny look whenever he did anything wrong surfaced in Ling Lan's mind. He always would hug her and call her 'Boss' in a cute manner in an attempt to flatter her. He would complain to her angrily and tell her his plans to drag Li Lanfeng down.

“Little Four, I really miss you,” Ling Lan said softly.

There was no one else around her so in front of Little Four, the person who accompanied her for two lifetimes and understood her the most, she let go of herself.

“Do you know when my father died, I was really sad, but what caused me to almost breakdown mentally was you. Little Four, when you suddenly disappeared, I thought that I was abandoned by the entire world,” Ling Lan smiled as she said. Tears started to appear in her cold and indifferent eyes.

“But, I didn't believe, I didn't believe that you'll abandon me. You once said that you'll accompany me for life. You'll even accompany my children for their entire life too…” Ling Lan stroked Little Four's cold cheeks softly. They didn't have the warmth that Little Four had in the past. Now, Little Four looked more like a robot, even if he looked like a human to the naked eye.

“There's not many people I trust. My parents, you, the instructors, the comrades that grew up with me, and the friends that went through life and death with me… But, the only person I trust completely is you. Even my parents can't make me do that.” Ling Lan raised her head and controlled her tears. “Little Four, ultimately, I'm still a selfish person. Besides you, whom I know entirely, I've never given all my trust to someone else.”
