Chapter 921 No Place For Us!

Ling Lan didn’t reveal any loopholes. She ended Tang Ningyu and Mu Chaoran’s suspicion on her. After chatting with them for a while, Li Lanfeng sent the two people away by telling them that their regiment commander needed to rest.

Tang Ningyu and Mu Chaoran felt that they had gotten the truth so they didn’t have the heart to stay at the treatment room anymore. They left dejectedly.

Li Lanfeng closed the door and quickly looked at Ling Lan. Ling Lan nodded to express that she was fine.

“Why did you want to see them?” Li Lanfeng didn’t want them to see Ling Lan. He felt that these two people would just be troublesome. However, just as he was about to chase them away, he received an order through Ling Lan’s spiritual power. Ling Lan told him that he wanted to meet them. That was why Li Lanfeng changed his tone.

“If I don’t let them see me, they’ll get even more curious and will think of even more ways to see me.” Ling Lan felt a little tired. She was recovering slowly both physically and spiritually but since her injuries were very serious, she would still feel tired easily.

Li Lanfeng noticed this and hurriedly laid her down.

“So, you wanted to solve everything once and for all,” Li Lanfeng said firmly.

“Yes,” Ling Lan closed her eyes and replied.

“It’s all because of this idiot. It always creates trouble.” Li Lanfeng looked at Little White with disdain. Little White was attempting to jump into the healing pod along with its master. Li Lanfeng picked it up before it could.

“Rawr!” ‘You are the idiot! Damn it, how am I supposed to know that those two people will come on my watch?’ Little White waved its tentacles furiously. However, Li Lanfeng was standing behind him so his tentacles were not long enough to reach him. The angry Little White forgot that its tentacles could be extended.

“We can’t blame Little White. I was not careful enough.” If she didn’t bring Little White to Planet Azure, this wouldn’t have happened in the first place.

‘Sob. My master is the best.’ Little White was so touched that it started crying. It waved its tentacles in the air as it ran into Ling Lan’s arms to seek for comfort.

Li Lanfeng saw the two fountains over Little White’s eyes and frowned. He flicked Little White away with his right hand and then took out a handkerchief from his pocket. He wiped his right hand carefully as if he touched something dirty.

Li Lanfeng’s actions angered Little White. It rushed towards Li Lanfeng and waved its tentacles around. It wanted to attack this very bad person who always treated it badly.

Li Lanfeng raised his finger and pressed it against Little White’s body. Then, he started scratching it.

Little White hugged Li Lanfeng’s finger and let out a sigh to show how comfortable it was.

‘No, I can’t bow down to a bad person!’ Little White tried to resist against its nature.

Li Lanfeng looked at it with a cold face. He could feel that Little White had gotten fatter. The food and water supply in the base were limited. Along with the huge stress of the battle, everyone had gotten skinnier. Only Little White ate well and came back fatter. Li Lanfeng was extremely unhappy at it.

Little White narrowed its eyes and laid on Li Lanfeng’s hand happily. This time, Little White lost to its nature again and got subdued by Li Lanfeng’s finger.

Ling Lan saw the two of them battling again and shook her head. The results were expected. Her Little White was indeed stupid. Once its weak point was known to Li Lanfeng, it would never be able to win against Li Lanfeng anymore. Unfortunately, Little White didn’t understand this point and continued to resist uselessly.

After settling Little White, Li Lanfeng looked at Ling Lan again. he pondered over his words carefully before asking, “Rabbit, what do you plan to do after you go back?”

Ling Lan raised one of her eyebrows as if she didn’t understand what Li Lanfeng meant.

“Are you planning to retire?” This was the only answer Li Lanfeng got after thinking through all the possibilities.

Ling Lan remained silent for a few seconds. She replied, “You know that this is the safest path for me.” She mustn’t recuperate. Leaving the military was her only path out.

“Rabbit, are you planning to abandon us?” Li Lanfeng was heartbroken. he had already predicted this result but when he heard it from Ling Lan, he still couldn’t help but feel sad.

“I’m not abandoning you. There is just no place in the military for me and my father.” Having one Ling Xiao was already enough for the military. If another Ling Xiao appeared, those people would take action against them. To protect the safety of her father, Ling Lan must leave the army.

Ling Lan couldn’t blame the military. Some high-ranking officers might have their own personal motives but most of them did it for the sake of the Federation. The Ling family had some secret skills that could allow them to jump level and control a god-class mecha. If she had died, everything was fine. However, she didn’t. This was enough to excite the military. Fortunately, her father was already a god-class mecha and one of the ten great generals of the Federation. He was also the general of the 23rd division. These powers were enough to stop the people that wanted to do anything to him.

But, that was it. If she managed to recover, it would prove that the Ling family had a way to resist the backlash from jumping level and operate a god class mecha. This was enough for the military to go crazy. At that time, the powers her father wouldn’t be enough to stop the entire military.

Ling Lan knew that her father was clearing her back for her. In the battle of power, the pressure her father was handling was not much lesser than her. He might even be in a more dangerous position than her. One single mistake could cause the destruction of the entire Ling family.

Ling Lan remembered that the mastermind who planned her father’s murder in the past was still in the military. After so many years, the other party’s faction must have grown even stronger. Ling Lan didn’t believe that the other party would stop his actions. He must be waiting for a chance to launch another lethal attack.

For the sake of his father, she mustn’t recover in front of the public eyes. She must leave.

Li Lanfeng calmed down when he heard what Ling Lan said. He knew that although Ling Xiao looked glamorous and seemed to have a bright future ahead of himself, he was constantly surrounded by danger.

Ling Lan won huge military merit when she jumped level and operated a god-class mecha. She allowed Base 013 to survive until reinforcements could arrive, shocking the entire Federation. If Ling Lan was just an ordinary soldier, the military would reward Ling Lan heavily and mold her into a hero of the generation to spur the emotions of the citizens in the Federation. However, she was Ling Xiao’s son. It was a fact that she jumped level and operated (Belief). Everyone would know about this. The Federation couldn’t hide this fact.

As expected of Ling Xiao’s son! It could be guessed that Ling Xiao’s reputation had reached an extremely high level now. This was like adding oil to a burning flame.
