1381 Nothing!

“This should be enough to stall them for a while.” Ling Lan endured the immense pain and walked to the ice throne to sit down. Then, she began to practice her Qi exercises. Without the Nuwa agent, Ling Lan could only use her own restoration techniques. She was lucky that the Qi exercises had always been good to her. Despite not being as strong as the Nuwa agent, it still showed some positive results.

At the s.p.a.ceport, where the Jialan s.h.i.+p was docked at, it was just as Ling Lan had expected. A few unknown factions attempted to steal the supplies on the Jialan s.h.i.+p. However, these people didn’t think that they would be met with a brick wall.

There were actually more than 10 t.i.tled domain realm formidable warriors guarding Jialan s.h.i.+p and domain realm masters swarmed the s.h.i.+p.

Of course, the thieves weren’t weak either. Although they were caught off guard in the beginning, they quickly calmed themselves and pushed back those on the Jialan s.h.i.+p.

Right as other factions were watching from the sidelines, deciding whether they should join or not, the Jialan s.h.i.+p finally revealed their fangs. No one expected the Jialan s.h.i.+p to have an ace mecha clan of 2000 soldiers, and most of them were peak level ace operators.

It should be known that an elite ace operator with a top-cla.s.s ace mecha could easily deal with a beginner domain realm master. A peak level ace operator with a top-cla.s.s ace mecha would be able to fight against t.i.tled domain realm formidable warriors. It was just like if the Jialan s.h.i.+p suddenly had 2000 men who were just as strong as t.i.tled domain realm formidable warriors. Would any standard faction be able to fight against them? Unless it was a faction under the 13 Lords. However, the factions of the 13 Lords had made a pact with Ling Lan, so they definitely wouldn’t take the risk of exposing themselves by sending their own ace mecha clans to join the battle.

Those factions who saw the situation turn badly for them, quickly retreated. Zhao Jun and the others remembered Ling Lan’s orders and didn’t chase them. They stood firmly and guarded Jialan s.h.i.+p without leaving its side.

Li s.h.i.+yu, who had been busy saving the injured soldiers, finally treated the last patient. After some grueling hours of work, he finally stepped out of the medical operating room.

Luo Chao, who had been busy dealing with all kinds of administrative affairs, was currently lounging on a sofa in front of the operating room. She was leaning on the back of the sofa with her eyes closed.

Her face showed that she was completely exhausted. As the commander of the stars.h.i.+p, she was given the responsibility of commanding the battle. It was her first time taking on such a huge responsibility, so it really exhausted her.

When Li s.h.i.+yu walked out of his operating room and saw this pitiful sight, he felt sad for LUo Chao. He walked into his own room beside the operating room, took out a blanket and gently placed it over Luo Chao.

His gaze fell upon Luo Chao’s beautiful and elegant face. Despite Luo Chao and Luo Lang’s faces being almost identical, Li s.h.i.+yu could always differentiate between the two of them ever since the first time they met.

Although everyone basically reached a consensus that even their smiles were completely identical, Li s.h.i.+yu never actually agreed with that. From his point of view, Luo Chao and Luo Lang’s smiles were completely different. Luo Chao’s smile had a hint of shyness to it, while Luo Lang’s smile on the other hand was a blank sheet. If he were to say it nicely, it would be considered a pure smile. If he were to say it in a mean way, then it would be considered just Luo Lang being stupid.

But, all of this was just his own opinion. After all, Li s.h.i.+yu wasn’t someone who would force people to agree with his subjective opinions. The differences he saw between the two of them were kept in his mind, never to be told to anyone.

However, it was because of his unique perspective that made him pay more attention to Luo Chao. In Lingtian, Luo Chao had always been the person who everyone neglected. Her brother Luo Lang just s.h.i.+ned too brightly in front of others. No matter if it was physical skills or mecha piloting, among the younger generations in Lingtian (not including Lingtian’s Boss Ling Lan who wasn’t considered a human), he was definitely among the top three. In addition, he was also the one of the brigade leaders. Luo Lang was definitely the person everyone had their eyes on in Lingtian.

In contrast, his younger sister Luo Chao, other than the friends she grew up with, along with a few older individuals who she was in good relations with, most would ignore Luo Chao’s growth because of the traditional and primitive thoughts about women. If she were to appear in front of everyone, she would either be mistaken for her brother Luo Lang, or be given the label of Brigade Leaders Luo’s younger sister. It could be said that in Lingtian, even though she had become the department head of the one of the departments in logistics, there were still people who believed she got to that position because she had such a good brother. Furthermore, they also brushed off her personal achievements just because she was Boss’s fiancée.

No one truly acknowledged Luo Chao’s abilities. She was constantly being underestimated and wronged, even her dumb older brother Luo Lang didn’t notice. Boss Ling Lan however… As the commander of an army, there were too many matters he needed to handle, which constrained his time to concern himself with his fiancée. Additionally, Luo Chao had always been a strong-willed woman. Even if she had been wronged, she wouldn’t speak out about it. She would only bite her lip and work hard to quickly grow, in order for everyone to acknowledge her sooner.

It was like that when she followed Li s.h.i.+yu to learn medicine. There were many times, when he did checks at night, he saw her staying back in the operating room by herself. She used needles on her own body to study where the pressure points were precisely at. Only after experiencing the effect and pain that came along with it could one finally acquire this technique. Luo Chao understood that, and did not go easy on herself.

Li s.h.i.+yu acknowledged that in the past, he was more or less affected by the traditional way of thought. That was why when Boss sent Luo Chao and Han Xuya to learn under him, he only taught them some basic first aid for emergency purposes. He didn’t want to teach them too much. However, Luo Chao’s perseverance and her willingness to improve made him acknowledge her, and all her drive to improve was because of one person. Wasn’t he the same when he first set out to be a military doctor? It all was to help that one person who he treasured the most. Li s.h.i.+yu understood Luo Chao’s thoughts because he was in her position before.

After noticing her strong drive to improve, Li s.h.i.+yu began to patiently teach Luo Chao all of his learnt medical techniques. He was willing to teach whatever Luo Chao wanted.

After Lingtian became an army and Luo Chao left to become a department head within the logistics department, Luo Chao finally felt she could hold her head up high. Luo Chao faced the suspicions against her, worked hard and slowly proved everyone wrong. Others might not have seen all of her hard work behind her glorious achievements, but he saw it clearly. He knew the path Luo Chao took was not an easy one, but rather quite hard.

Most importantly, no one helped her in this difficult path. Luo Lang had always been negligent and careless, so he wouldn’t understand Luo Chao’s trouble unless told. Boss on the other hand… Li s.h.i.+yu actually believed Boss clearly knew about Luo Chao’s troubles, but Boss never chose to do anything about it, he just watched from the sidelines. Sometimes, even Li s.h.i.+yu couldn’t understand why Boss would be so heartless. After all, Luo Chao was his fiancée, not just another subordinate. Why did he treat her that way? Even if he didn’t help her, at least he should give her some words of comfort.

Unfortunately, he never said anything to her.
