“I hope next time when I see you again, you will have already resolved this issue.” Ling Lan still hoped that Li Lanfeng could resolve this issue in the next few days. She knew that something like this would become more complicated and troublesome as time goes on. Sometimes, cutting the Gordian knot wasn’t a bad idea.
Li Lanfeng understood the meaning behind Ling Lan’s words and nodded. With his pretty face and obedient expression, even Ling Lan, who always quite firm and serious, couldn’t help but loosen up. As expected, when beauty reached a certain level, it definitely could weaken anybody. It was too strong. Although Ling Lan wanted to show Li Lanfeng her firm stance about the situation, she still couldn’t endure the the beauty of his face and couldn’t continue to force a serious expression on her face.
Seeing that Ling Lan’s att.i.tude had softened up, Li Lanfeng knew that the crisis had been averted. He showed a slight smile that could break the hearts of millions.
“Ahhhh, I can’t hold on much longer, I’m going to shut down.” Little Four, who was watching from Ling Lan’s mindscape, saw Li Lanfeng smile and instantly felt his computer chip heating up. He quickly returned to the learning s.p.a.ce to check on his computer chip. With fear in his heart, Little Four silently wrote down Li Lanfeng as the most dangerous individual to his computer chip…
“Also, don’t smile! You don’t look like a man at all.” Ling Lan warned him in serious tone.
Wuwuwu, it was actually so beautiful. However, in order to not expose herself as a female and also make sure her companions don’t think she was a gay male, she could only stay away from it. Ling Lan was crying internally. If it was possible, she would want to look at handsome men with a smile that could break millions of hearts. It was nice to look at and made her mood better.
“Yes!” Li Lanfeng obediently stopped smiling, but could not restrain himself from smirking a bit.
He knew that Rabbit would have random thoughts after seeing his face. Thus, he could only relent himself to the fact that he was too weak and wasn’t manly enough. It was possible that after the vacation, he would be dragged into some ruthlessly training sessions by Rabbit. Rabbit probably wouldn’t stop until Li Lanfeng becomes a masculine and muscular man.
“After we go back, you will train. If you don’t train until you’re fully exhausted every day, then don’t even think about getting to the next level!” Ling Lan frowned and glared at Li Lanfeng as she added another order. She was very pleased with his looks, but was not impressed with his weak body const.i.tution. She didn’t want her friends to die young, especially if their spiritual power had already advanced again…
If it wasn’t for the fact that Li Lanfeng had kept using her Chi meditation technique along with Li s.h.i.+yu’s free yet precious medicinal agents, it was possible that this advancement would have instantly destroyed his muscles, turning him into a vegetable who would need medicinal agents wherever he goes. It would just be like Ling Lan’s previous life where she silently waited for her body to completely crumble and perish.
As expected, it was what he had guessed! The contentness in Li Lanfeng’s eyes was even more obvious. He answered “Yes” loudly to show that he understood.
“Also, your spiritual power had just advanced and your body still hasn’t gotten used it yet, so rest more and don’t make too much movement.” Ling Lan was very worried for Li Lanfeng. She now discovered that the person that she should worry about the most was no longer the idiotic Luo Lang. Instead, it was Li Lanfeng who seemed to a sly and manipulative person. No, now he should be called Li Mulan, a two-faced man.
After hearing Ling Lan’s caring att.i.tude in his words, Li Lanfeng obediently agreed with him once again.
Seeing such an obedient Li Lanfeng made Ling Lan feel uncomfortable. She was still used to that sly, manipulative and conniving Li Lanfeng.
“If you’re alright now, I’m going to go find Li s.h.i.+yu.” Ling Lan couldn’t handle the current Li Mulan and decided to leave in order to calm down. After this incident, she also learned about herself. She was definitely someone who put beauty first… It was a natural for a woman to be entranced by beauty.
Right as Ling Lan sat up, Li Lanfeng also sat up and held Ling Lan’s hand with the curtains still closed, “Don’t leave yet. I heard from s.h.i.+yu that you’re here on a mission this time. What kind of mission is it that actually made you come to Planet Azure?”
Seeing the care and concern in Li Lanfeng’s eyes, Ling Lan felt embarra.s.sed. After all, the only reason for her to take this mission was to hide the fact that she was following him. Now that she had understood Li Lanfeng’s situation as it was his personal matter to resolve and also after him not hiding anything from her after she confronted him about it, it was her who had mistaken.
After feeling sorry for what she did, Ling Lan couldn’t refuse Li Lanfeng’s care and concern. She laid back down, faced Li Lanfeng and softly spoke about the details of her mission.
“Individual 4 star mission. That’s considered an S rank mission. Who knew that the Central Scout Academy on Planet Azure would have such a powerful hidden faction in the academy.” Li Lanfeng was a bit concerned and began to think about his time in the academy, hoping to find anything that could help Ling Lan.
“Back then, when you were in the academy, was there anything odd that happened?” Ling Lan also thought of how Li Lanfeng had graduated from that school.
Li Lanfeng traced back memory in great detail, but in the end, he still shook his head and said, “No! Back then the Central Scout Academy was very normal. Each year, the students weren’t outstanding. If it wasn’t for me, the Central Scout Academy would definitely not be able to break Doha’s record from many years ago…” Li Lanfeng spoke with great confidence. Back then, the other scouts who worked with him, although were the strongest of the Central Scout Academy in Planet Azure, they were still could not be compared to those geniuses from Doha Central Scout Academy… He was definitely the main reason why they were able to beat the record that year.
“That’s means after your year, it began…” Ling Lan had already received the list of individuals from Planet Azure’s Central Scout Academy who got into well-known military academies after Li Lanfeng’s year. The year after Li Lanfeng’s year, there were two people who got into well-known military academies. In the third year, there were five. In the fourth year, there were 13 people and the fifth year was when it had erupted and reached a total of 37 people. In the sixth year, the numbers dropped but still managed to churn out 31 people. Then in the years after that, the numbers increased every year. Although the increase wasn’t much, there would still be higher than the previous year. This was until last year where the number of people who got into well-known military academies and inst.i.tutions reached 53 people. This number didn’t even count those who got into standard inst.i.tutions.
In 8 years of time, Azure’s Central Scout Academy changed from a normal Scout Academy to a well-known Scout Academy in the sector. Their numbers were indeed out of this world.
“It’s probably because of your amazing test results that caused that faction to focus on the academy. That’s why they began to meddle with Central Scout Academy.” Ling Lan quickly determined the cause. This also proved why there was so little people in the beginning and then it suddenly erupted in the fifth year. Five years was enough time for a faction to completely take over a small unguarded Scout Academy.
“It seems that’s the case.” Li Lanfeng smiled bitterly. He didn’t think that his hard work and diligence from back in the day to change his fate actually made his academy become a piece of pie that an unknown faction was eyeing.
“It seems that I need to investigate those who had graduated after you and those who got into well-known military academies. They are all suspects.”
“No, you have to start three years before I graduated. Start investigating in the year when my team broke the virtual barrier.” Li Lanfeng’s eyes flickered with confidence. In that year, the Azure Central Scout Academy raised its reputation in the Federation. Thus, it was possible that from then the faction had already begun making their plans.
“Indeed, Azure Central Scout Academy stunned the entire Federation that year. It is definitely possible that it was from then the unknown faction began to target the academy.” Ling Lan was in agreement with Li Lanfeng’s suggestion. With a clear target, Ling Lan ordered Little Four to go investigate. Of course, he could only do that after she gets away from this place. Currently, Little Four didn’t have any chance to go into the virtual world…
Right at that moment, Ling Lan’s expression brightened. She turned around and looked towards the curtains and smirked, “How do you want resolve this?”
Li Lanfeng said in a sad tone, “Does this count as purse s.n.a.t.c.hing?”
“If you’re not certain, I can leave.” Ling Lan was confident that she could leave without leaving behind any traces.
Li Lanfeng began to think long and hard. Seeing this, Ling Lan sat up and prepared to leave. Although she didn’t like Li Lanfeng’s hesitation, it was still his own personal issue, as his Boss, she was only reminding him what to do. She couldn’t say anymore, otherwise she would be going over a line.
Seeing Ling Lan was about to leave, Li Lanfeng was worried and pulled Ling Lan back again. She wasn’t pulled back at all but instead his entire body fell into Ling Lan’s arms because he used too much force.
A beauty giving in to her? Ling Lan instantly frowned and held Li Lanfeng. Although Li Lanfeng was beautiful, shouldn’t this have been the other way around? She is the woman here!
Bam, the curtains were opened and Li s.h.i.+yu had a stunned expression on his face when he saw their current position, “Elder brother…”
Li Lanfeng immediately got out of Ling Lan’s arms. After he got up, Ling Lan’s dismayed expression was no longer blocked by him. This made Li s.h.i.+yu feel even more uncomfortable, “Captain… you, what you are you guys doing?”
Has the world turned crazy? Does their own cold-blooded regiment commander have impure thoughts about his eldest cousin brother’s beauty? But, what is the meaning of his eldest cousin brother’s compromising pose? The innocent Li s.h.i.+yu lost himself in all of this…
“s.h.i.+yu!” Li Lanfeng, no, Li Mulan’s expression changed from red to green. He hadn’t thought about how he would talk to Li s.h.i.+yu just yet. He didn’t think that he would have to do it so soon. Now he had no choice but to tell him. Li Mulan, who was panicking, held Ling Lan’s hand tightly. It was as though he was trying to siphon power from her to have the courage to face Li s.h.i.+yu’s blame.
Li s.h.i.+yu saw his eldest cousin brother not letting go of their regiment commander’s hand and concluded that their regiment commander didn’t force his eldest cousin brother to do anything… Could it be that his eldest cousin brother gave his consent? Li s.h.i.+yu felt terrible. He bit his lip and said, “Let’s talk outside.”
Sh*t, his warm and soft eldest cousin brother actually was taken advantage of by his regiment commander… Delete all of these images in my head!
Li s.h.i.+yu immediately put the thought to the back of his head. Perhaps their regiment commander was there to find him and had only gotten into the wrong room… Huh? Why did that reason seem weird too?
Seeing Li s.h.i.+yu’s depressed shadow disappearing into the darkness and also Li Lanfeng’s unwillingness to let go of her hand even if he died right there, Ling Lan helpless gestured towards Li Lanfeng to come with her. She wanted Li Lanfeng to tell Li s.h.i.+yu the truth.
It was so depressing for Ling Lan. It was originally something between the two brothers. Why did she become part of it? As expected, she shouldn’t go into rooms randomly. Ling Lan decided that she would never go into someone’s room randomly ever again. She wasn’t careful and got herself trapped in a complicated situation. If her ident.i.ty was to be exposed in this manner in the future… Ling Lan frowned. She felt that all of her dignity was lost because of Li Lanfeng.
She should cherish life and stay away from these situations! Ling Lan suddenly had an epiphany!
