Ye Xu couldn’t help but remember the irritating Li Yingjie who grew up with him. They were both from elite families and had similar family feuds in their families. Yet, the Li family treated their descendants much better than the Ye family. They would raise them up unconditionally. They provided their descendants with adequate resources but their future depended on their own efforts. This was why the Li family didn’t do anything when Li Yingjie and Li Lanfeng decided to enter the 23rd division and not the 4th division (Ye Xu didn’t know the details of the Li family so he made the wrong a.s.sumptions).

Ye Xu was jealous. Why is that irritating Li Yingjie so lucky? Why was he fortunate enough to be born into the Li family? How could he shamelessly enter the 23rd division with Boss Lan when he disturbed Boss Lan during their days in the scout academy?

Ye Ling knew that he said something that caused the ire in Ye Xu. If he had called Wu Jiong by his name, Ye Xu might not be angry. However, if he called Ling Lan by his name, Ye Xu would definitely get angry at him for this. Even today, Ye Xu always called Ling Lan, Boss Lan.

To compensate for his mistake, he smiled and said hurriedly, “I’m just shocked. Young Master 13, tell me, is Ling Lan really just from a normal family?” This was impossible. He must have a powerful background. If not, the descendants of the Li family, the Ye family, and the Wu family would not bow down to her so easily.

Ye Xu smiled coldly. Of course, he had a good background. Speaking of it, his background was the strongest out of all of them. But, he would not tell Ye Ling anything. This was the secret between the leaders of Lingtian. Moreover, Ye Xu believed Boss Lan didn’t rely on General Ling Xiao to get to this position. He was not so weak. He used his own efforts to clear the path for himself, to rise up to the ranks of a regiment commander.

Ye Xu had confirmed the name ‘Ling Lan’ on the namelist was his Boss Lan so he had no reason to stay here any longer. He turned and left immediately. Ye Ling was furious when Ye Xu didn’t reply to him. He could feel the contempt from Ye Xu. However, he controlled his anger. Before the Ye family gives up on Ye Xu, he must not offend him.

Ye Ling realized Ye Xu was slowly becoming similar to someone over this period of time.

He chased after Ye Xu. Along the way, he turned back and looked at Ling Lan who had frozen the crowd.

If he wanted Ye Xu to work for the Ye family willingly, he needed to destroy that person in his heart so that he would have no hope to retreat.

Ye Ling gave a cold smile. So what if he was strong? Without a powerful background, the Ye family could easily destroy his future.

When Ling Lan stepped onto the plaza, she felt a few intense gazes falling on her. Little Four was in a good mood, so he quickly found those people and showed her their faces in an instant.

Ling Lan was stunned to see a few familiar faces. She didn’t expect to see some of her comrades which she hadn’t seen for a few years here. Why are they at Soldier City?

Little Four noticed Ling Lan’s confusion and excitedly explained everything to her. Ling Lan realized every division had its own personal stationed army. The stationed army was an army every mecha operator wanted to enter. This gold-plated mission was a mission every mecha operator wanted to take.

Ling Lan felt her head hurting. She was worried because Little Four kept sleeping but when he was awake and was in a good mood, she couldn’t handle him. He talked so much, her head hurt from his chattering. She almost couldn’t maintain her Boss-like persona.

However, Little Four’s chattering allowed her to understand why Wu Jiong and Ye Xu were here. The Ye family and the Wu family probably wanted to use this method to let them rise up in ranks quickly. Ling Lan felt there was nothing wrong with this. Since they had this opportunity, why not make use of it?

Ling Lan was not as fair and just as people thought. If someone could climb up the ranks within a short period of time, they should just do it. Hence, this philosophy of hers allowed her to use her father to help her get what she wanted unapologetically…

The powerful operators were shocked, the moment Ling Lan appeared. However, if 250 Mecha Clan only had Ling Lan, it was still a lousy mecha clan to these people. They would not respect or fear it. Yet, the mecha operators that followed behind her caused them to view 250 Mecha Clan differently.

Among the young soldiers standing behind Ling Lan, two middle-aged mecha operators stood out. The powerful mecha operators at the scene recognized these two people.

They were mecha operators with a t.i.tle. One of them was a member of the Seven Stars of the South while the other was a member of the Seven Stars of the North. These two people, who were from entirely different divisions, appeared together in a normal mecha clan. This was definitely something impressive.

Not only that, but the people in the crowd also recognize some powerful mecha operators who didn’t have a t.i.tle but had many military achievements. These mecha operators were quite famous. Some of them were even their old brother-in-arms and their past comrades.

They remembered these mecha operators and knew why they left their previous division. The highest-ranked military doctor gave them a verdict, of them not being able to operate a mecha anymore. This caused them to leave their beloved division and was sent somewhere to enjoy their retirement.

They thought they would not see them again. Yet, they appeared here. They could operate mechas again and even became one of the top ten mecha clans in a land clearing mission, winning against many powerful ace mecha clans.

The crowd was confused. Were the verdicts given by the military doctors wrong? Did they really lose their ability to operate mechas or were they sent to carry out a special mission?

Even after all the mecha operators from 250 Mecha Clan had a.s.sembled, the mecha operators in the crowd still had not regained their senses. Hence, amidst their confusion, the ten mecha clans were sent to their respective camping grounds where they could rest and prepare for the awards ceremony that was three days later.

“Senior officer, we have made the necessary arrangements. 250 Mecha Clan will be camping next to the camp of the 3rd division.”

Jiang Wei nodded in satisfaction when he heard the report. If he was able to embarra.s.s 250 Mecha Clan before the awards ceremony, he would be able to humiliate Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao, this time, you will not have such a smooth path! Jiang Wei gave a cold smile.
