Chapter 1225 Thank You, Rabbit.

“You don’t hate my looks right?”

‘Hopefully, Ling Lan will like my face.’ Li Lanfeng looked at Ling Lan with an expression that only he knew the meaning of.

“Of course. And remember no matter what kind of looks you have, it’s all given by your parents and should be considered as precious. We should all respect it and accept it,” replied Ling Lan earnestly.

She knew Li Lanfeng hated his own looks. However, Ling Lan didn’t believe there were any problems with his looks. Perhaps in the division, his looks might cause some trouble, but in Lingtian, Ling Lan was confident that those weird things wouldn’t happen. Thus, Li Lanfeng didn’t need to worry and didn’t need to hate his innocent looks.

“Those are not just comforting words, right?” Li Lanfeng asked softly.

“You know me. What I say is how I truly feel. Do the two of us need to make it so formal and speak untruthfully to each other?” said Ling Lan with a certain look on her face. In reality, she loved his looks very much. Of course, in order to uphold Li Lanfeng’s impression of her, she definitely wouldn’t tell him that.

“So, you like it.” A smile began to form on Li Lanfeng’s face once again. However, this time, it was truly a smile filled with joy unlike when he had to pull up a facade.

“Of course. I like it very much.” Everyone liked beautiful things. Ling Lan didn’t feel that was something to be embarrassed about.

“Thank you for liking it, my Rabbit!” Li Lanfeng suddenly leaned his head forward, resting his forehead on Ling Lan’s shoulder.

Although Ling Lan was a bit uncomfortable with his sudden act, the nickname Li Lanfeng hadn’t addressed her by in a long time made her heart waver. Now she was able to feel the tiredness in Li Lanfeng that he couldn’t speak up about. She also felt the temporary weakness he showed as he leaned on her shoulder.

Ling Lan thought for a moment, then put out her right hand and rubbed Li Lanfeng’s back. If he wanted to be comforted, then she would comfort him. She wasn’t losing anything by doing that.

Ling Lan didn’t know that Li Lanfeng, who had his head down on her shoulder, was trying his best to control his excitement and his trembling body. He originally thought he had no hope at all and was only struggling for straws. However, Ling Lan saying he liked his looks made him regain a reason to live.

‘Ling Lan, if you’re going to give me hope, then please give me even more…’ Li Lanfeng was still a calm and logical individual. Despite his excited mood, he still had strong self-control. He still managed to hold back the feelings that was about to burst out.

Unless he was sure of a victory, Li Lanfeng would not allow himself to be backed into a corner. Ling Lan’s current impression of him was good and all. Although it was only his looks, the current situation was much better than before. Li Lanfeng wasn’t going to let such a good turn of events to be destroyed because of his reckless impulses.

After being silent for one to two minutes, Li Lanfeng stood up straight. In that moment, he was no longer that man who was trapped in his feelings. Instead, he was now the amazing strategist Ling Lan admired.

“Did you sense any danger on your way here?” After clearing himself of any emotion, Li Lanfeng was now able to view the big picture in its truest form. Although he just asked it as a question, his tone was still firm.

“Yeah, moving Base Nebula by my own accord is an easy loophole that could be used against me,” When speaking about military matters, Ling Lan’s mood began to calm down. As expected, she was not suitable to be a mentor for love and relationships. She was only just talking with words with no personal experience.

“However, if we don’t move the troops, Lingtian will be in even more danger.” Li Lanfeng had already understood Ling Lan’s worries when she decided to move Base Nebula

“Yes. The structure of the military headquarters is complicated as many factions fester within it. In the path to accomplish our goals, there will be many factions trying to stop us in our tracks. Despite us knowing that there’s someone behind all this, there are still too many factions involved. We still can’t predict who the actual person behind all this is just from the information we gathered from the virtual world.” Ling Lan told Little Four to keep an eye on the military headquarters. However, the orders given by the military headquarters weren’t given by just one person. It would be given out only after numerous discussions between many factions. Only then would an official order be given.

Without any information on the person behind all of this, Ling Lan and the others could only stay on guard. If they were actually suddenly sent to the frontlines, without Base Nebula as a strong backup, Ling Lan also wasn’t confident that she would be able to lead the soldiers in Lingtian Independent Army back home safely.

Dying in the midst of a war was considered to be normal. However, if they were to die from a trap, Ling Lan would feel very wronged. Moreover, she wouldn’t be able to handle the aftermath of those deaths. Thus, after careful consideration, she decided to go against the rules and brought Base Nebula with her. That way, at least when the person behind all of this plots against them, she could still depend on Base Nebula to create a path of escape for her to lead her independent army out alive.

“Sending Vice Commander Yang, Vice Commander Liu, Qi Long and the others’ brigades to meet up with the logistics transport team is to prepare something in case something happens, right?” Li Lanfeng, like Yang Mingzhi and the others, felt there was more than meets the eye in Ling Lan’s decision to send the ten mecha brigades out.

Ling Lan said calmly, “We at least need to send out brigades to guard the transport fleet. After all, it is our responsibility to guard them.” Ling Lan didn’t admit it or deny it.

Li Lanfeng knew Ling Lan didn’t want to answer the question so he stopped prying further into the matter. He knew very well that these things didn’t need to be clarified too much as long as everyone knew it in their minds.

It had to be said that the ten people Ling Lan had chosen successfully avoided the issue with her taking Base Nebula with her on her own accord. It was indeed a great idea. If Li Lanfeng were to make the arrangements, he might not have been able to find better suited individuals.

“Let’s hope that we won’t have to use this plan,” sighed Li Lanfeng. If they had to use those 10 individuals, that meant the situation wasn’t going well.

“Yeah…” Ling Lan’s eyes were dark as the void. It was just as Li Lanfeng had said. If they actually got to that point, both her and her father’s situation would definitely be grave.

After knowing that Lingtian Independent Army will be the guarding the logistics transport fleet, Qi Yaoyang’s face instantly darkened.

“General, is there something wrong?” His staff officer asked as his heart skipped a beat.

“A newly formed independent army, and is still gathering personnel. If you were the one at the military headquarters making the decisions, would you send them to the frontlines?” Qi Yaoyang glanced at him coldly and asked with disdain.

“I wouldn’t!” His staff officer shook his head. Guarding the logistics transport convoy to the frontlines seemed like a standard mission. However, in reality, it was very important. Usually, the troops that guard the convoy were all capable veteran armies from the Federation. It was already very unlikely for weaker armies to be given this mission, not to mention this independent army that was just formed and had nothing to show for themselves.
