It's Not Easy to Be a Man After Travelling to the Future

Chapter 1384


1384 Identity Of The Spy

Li Shiyu was shaken to his core. Just how severe was Boss’s injuries for him to use up that many Nuwa agents? Everyone was totally aware that Boss was heaven’s child who could have anything he wanted in life. Their current situation was a perfect example of this, where Boss easily took over the position of Lord Gen after coming to the Lawless Lands for only such a short amount of time. However, no one knew that him acquiring this position almost had cost him his life.

After thinking about the struggles Boss had encountered, Li Shiyu rejoiced that he made the decision to come. At least when Boss goes to the front-lines, he would be able to nurse Boss’s body when he returned back after a tough battle.

While he was praising himself in his head, his hands didn’t stop moving as he prepared two vials of Nuwa agents before handing them to Ling Lan.

Ling Lan calmly took them off Li Shiyu’s hands and drank them immediately. With Nuwa agent by her side, her recovery speed would increase by quite a lot. In a place that was fraught with danger, quickly recovering can ensure her own battle strength and safety.

Ling Lan quickly absorbed most of the Nuwa agent’s effects. The rest of the effects must be absorbed slowly. The amount of Nuwa agent Li Shiyu had given her was very precise. If there was anymore, her body wouldn’t be able to absorb it which would be a waste.

After all, this was not the Federation. Li Shiyu had the ability of creating the agent, but here he didn’t have the materials to create anymore. In a barren place like this, Nuwa agents were basically equivalent to another life, so they must not waste even a drop of it.

Feeling her condition becoming much better, Ling Lan placed her attention on Tang Ningyu and Mu Chaoran. Yesterday, when she was deflecting the suspicion on her from the 13 Lords, she didn’t have any time to speak to them in detail. Now, the danger had passed so Ling Lan was in the mood to speak with them.

“You probably already know roughly what I want to do. Tell me, are you planning on going back or staying?” asked Ling Lan in a straightforward manner.

“You want to make use of this barren land?” Tang Ningyu asked with a disapproving expression. “Will that be of any use? You should return to the Federation with us instead. The position of general of the 23rd division is waiting for you. Your future shouldn’t be wasted in such a barren place.”

“What’s the military headquarters’ answer for my father’s death?” asked Ling Lan coldly.

“…” Tang Ningyu was silenced by Ling Lan’s oddly piercing words. He didn’t know how to respond.

“Just say it. Although I already know what they did, I still want to know how despicable they can be.” Ling Lan pulled on her sleeves as her expression turned colder than normal. Looking at the sight before them, Tang Ningyu and Mu Chaoran felt that the icy cold Major General Ling from the past had returned.

Tang Ningyu and Mu Chaoran looked at each other with vigilance. Then, in the end, Mu Chaoran bit his lip as he said, “Taking on the enemy without being given any orders to engage! Dealing with private matters over performing his duties!”

“Great, great, great! Haha…” Ling Lan laughed angrily. Her malevolent aura quickly exploded outwards.

“Ugh!” Tang Ningyu and Mu Chaoran’s chests felt as if a fist had ruthlessly struck them. A mouthful of blood instantly came out from their mouths.

Luckily, Ling Lan only fully let go for a slight moment. Otherwise, the two of them wouldn’t be just spitting out blood. On the other side, Li Shiyu, Han Xuya and Luo Chao were not even one bit affected. Despite being overly angry, she didn’t lose her rationality. Her force of presence was still controlled perfectly. It was only sent towards Mu Chaoran and Tang Ningyu.

“Haha, that’s the military headquarters for you! In the Twilight Empire, which one of the steps that my father took wasn’t after careful planning and thought? If it wasn’t for their devious scheme, why would he leave a winning battle to come and save me?” Ling Lan laughed out maniacally. “Even though it is all their fault, they not only push away all responsibility for their crimes, they even dirty the name of my father. Tell me, what can I do against a completely corrupt military headquarters if I go back? I probably would become a puppet that they can toss back and forth.”

“However, you can’t resolve General Ling’s grievances by being here,” shouted Mu Chaoran. He didn’t want Ling Lan to walk a crooked path. The stronger Ling Lan became, the more afraid he was that she would walk the wrong path. If that day were to come, it would be the end of the Federation.

“I can’t now, but it doesn’t mean I can’t go back in the future,” Ling Lan regained her composure and said in a calm expression. The anger she had festing in her body seemed to have disappeared.

Tang Ningyu and Mu Chaoran stared blankly after hearing those words. Mu Chaoran recovered quicker of the two. “You want to take over the Lawless Lands? That’s impossible.”

Only by becoming the king of the Lawless Lands, would Ling Lan have the qualifications to negotiate with the Federation. Then, there would be hope for the military headquarters to give some leeway and right the wrong they did to Ling Xiao.

“Why would it be impossible? I’m already one of the 13 Lords,” asked Ling Lan.

“It’s impossible. No matter if it’s the Federation, Caesar or any other nations, they won’t allow the Lawless Lands to have just one king.” said Tang Ningyu with certainty. As the next generation leader who was developed by the Flying Dragon Special Forces, the database Tang Ningyu had access to was vast. For example, secrets regarding the Lawless Lands.

“I know. There’s spies hidden in here from many nations. Once they discover danger, they would work with their home nation to create chaos and bloodshed.” During the time on the Lawless Lands, Ling Lan had been reading through the documented events on the Lawless Lands. She had more or less discovered some patterns.

Tang Ningyu’s mouth moved but in the end, no words came out of his mouth. In his mind, the Federation wouldn’t resort to doing that.

“I also know that some of these spies have risen quite high here. For example, being the guardians of the 13 Lords.” While Ling Lan was speaking, she was also focused on Tang Ningyu’s expression. “Some may even have become one of the 13 Lords…”

After those words were said, Tang Ningyu’s eyes twitched a little. Despite it being hard to detect, how could it escape from Ling Lan’s sharp eyes?

Seeing that, Ling Lan narrowed her eyes and smirked. It was just as she had expected!

In the past few days, Ling Lan had been thinking about an issue. It was clear that Lord Qian and Lord Kun were strong, but why had they never thought about unifying the Lawless Lands? With the strength of the Lord Qian and Kun, it was definitely possible.

Unless, Lord Qian wasn’t in the god-realm like the rumours said. However, all of the documented information showed that the possibility of Lord Qian had entered the god-realm was highly likely.

Lord Kun, who just fought with Ling Lan, was clearly halfway into the god-realm. Someone who could be respected by someone who was halfway into the god-realm, other than an actual god-realm individual, there was no other exception.

The fight with Lord Kun wasn’t just to buy her more time. Ling Lan was also using that fight to determine Lord Qian’s real strength.

Both sides were probing each other. Perhaps Ling Lan fell into the trap of believing the fake facade the opponent had purposely created. However, Ling Lan had always been cautious. She would rather assume her opponents to be stronger than her than to think they were weaker.

The only thing that could scare Lord Qian from unifying the Lawless was definitely the person or people pulling the strings behind the 13 Lords. Or perhaps Lord Qian himself was also a spy.

This prediction seemed absurd, but after careful thought, it was a possibility.
