"So what if he's Ling Xiao? He wanted to use his power to help his son rise to the top. Unfortunately, he tried to steal a chicken only to end up losing the rice used to lure it. In the end, not only did he fail, but his son was also crippled. How satisfying. "Suddenly, a piercing voice entered everyone's ears.
"What did you say?" Li Yingjie was the first to explode. He walked forward angrily and scolded the person.
The person who spoke was a young man around 25 years old. He was gloating over Ling Xiao's misfortune. His eyes were filled with disdain for Ling Xiao.
Ling Lan turned around slowly. A murderous intent flashed across her eyes. She didn't care if the people insulted her. However, her father, Ling Xiao, and her mother, Ling Lan, would never allow anyone to insult them. No matter who stepped on this line, Ling Lan would repay them a hundredfold.
"Isn't that right? The people are just fooled by him. They really think that he and his son are the saviors of the battle on Planet Haijiao. Pfft! " The young man spat lightly. His expression was as if he was the only sober person in the world. This really made Luo Lang and the others explode with anger.
"Ignorant child. You're full of nonsense." Even Gu Dongyang, who was usually calm, was angered by the young man's words. He wanted to go forward and teach this arrogant bastard a lesson. However, a fair hand stopped him.
"Since you dare to question General Ling Xiao, you must have a powerful background. Who are you?" Ling Lan asked calmly.
"Haha, are you saying that only powerful people can question Ling Xiao? I'm a citizen of the Federation. Of course, I have the right to question anyone in the military. "The young man raised his head arrogantly.
Ling Lan smiled and raised her eyebrows. "A normal citizen?"
"That's right. Don't citizens have freedom of speech?" The young man glared at Ling Lan arrogantly.
"Bang!"
A figure was suddenly sent flying and landed heavily on the ground of the stadium. The sudden commotion immediately woke up the surrounding visitors who were quietly looking at various materials. They all gathered around with astonishment on their faces. One must know that fighting was prohibited on the Heroes' Monument.
"You, dare, hit me?" The young man lying on the ground pointed at a figure in front of him and shouted in shock. Right now, the left side of his face was already swollen beyond recognition. As he spoke, blood mixed with a few white teeth spurted out, making him look rather pitiful.
Looking at the miserable state of the people on the ground, the onlookers showed a trace of pity on their faces. They were just about to look at the person who did it with reproach, but they immediately dismissed the idea.
The one who made the move was actually a delicate little beauty. Although she was dressed more like a man, her face made everyone understand that she was definitely a girl. If she wasn't, they would poke their own eyes out.
Thus, the onlookers with wild imaginations began to imagine the plot. In the end, they unanimously agreed that the young man must have been lustful after seeing the beautiful girl and wanted to take advantage of her. In the end, he was beaten up, but he was beaten up a little too hard.
Luo Lang blew on his fist and smiled brightly. "What's wrong with hitting you?"
"You, you, wait for me." The young man didn't expect this group of people to be so barbaric. He hurriedly used his communicator to call for reinforcements. Ling Lan and the others didn't stop him. In reality, they really wanted to know who was behind this young man who disrespected General Ling Xiao.
Not long after, a few figures flashed out from the Heroes' Monument. When they saw the young man lying on the ground with a miserable face, they were instantly enraged.
"Who is it?" One of the burly men looked at the crowd with a face full of anger and shouted sternly.
"It's me." Luo Lang raised his head proudly.
Only then did these people look at Luo Lang in surprise. According to the position he was standing, Luo Lang was without a doubt the most suspicious person. However, Luo Lang's face and physique made them naturally let him go.
"Miss, I don't know what my little brother did to offend you, but don't you think it's unreasonable for you to hit him so hard?" The leader looked at the young man and knew that half of his teeth were probably gone. Although he knew that it was his little brother's fault, he was still angry that he was hit so hard.
"Who are you calling a miss?" Luo Lang instantly exploded when he heard this name. He took a big step forward and threw a punch at the man.
"Bang!" The two forces collided. That person couldn't withstand the huge force. He couldn't help but take more than ten steps back before he could regain his balance. On the other hand, Luo Lang casually retracted his fist and sneered, "You're quite strong. This is a lesson. If you call me the wrong person again, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Luo Lang's words stunned everyone. This little girl was actually a man? Was this for real? However, when they saw her easily push a muscular man back more than ten steps … it seemed like only a man could do that. It looked like they would really have to poke their own eyes out.
The muscular man's expression changed. When he looked at Luo Lang again, his expression was much more cautious. "Brother, I misspoke just now." He was not as strong as the other so he could only lower his head.
Only then was Luo Lang satisfied. He flicked his right sleeve and answered the other party's question, "I hit him because he insulted General Ling Xiao. I'm already being polite by not letting him lie in bed for a year."
Luo Lang's words made everyone suck in a breath. They looked at the young man who had been pulled back into the muscular man's group as if they were looking at an idiot.
Someone actually dared to insult the god in their hearts … did he eat a bear's heart or a leopard's guts?
The muscular man groaned in his heart. He knew what kind of person his little brother was. He had always been unhappy with the Ling family's father and son. At home, he had mocked Ling Xiao and his father for fishing for fame more than once. Although he had warned him to be careful with his words and actions, it had little effect. As expected, he had caused trouble this time.
"A 'Jin, is it like this?" The muscular man turned to look at the young man who was hit. After avoiding Luo Lang's gaze, he secretly gave the other party a look.
"Of course not." The young man called A 'Jin was still quite smart. He immediately changed his words and said, "General Ling Xiao is the role model of our army. How could I be disrespectful to him? You must have misheard or misunderstood. "
Seeing that his little brother had responded well, the muscular man's cold expression instantly eased. He turned to look at Luo Lang and said kindly, "This is a misunderstanding. I can guarantee that A 'Jin's respect for General Ling Xiao comes from the bottom of his heart. He definitely wouldn't say anything to insult the general. You must have misheard or misunderstood something. "
"That's right. However, you guys didn't distinguish between right and wrong and beat him up without asking for the reason. Shouldn't you give me an explanation?" The young man called A 'Jin didn't want to be beaten up for nothing. He actually made up some nonsense and directly hit back.
Hearing this, the muscular man secretly glared at his little brother. However, since he had already spoken, he couldn't back down. He could only follow his little brother's words and say, "That's true. My little brother was beaten up for no reason. Brother, shouldn't you show some attitude too?"
The crowd was already confused. They didn't know who to believe. Logically speaking, no one would be stupid enough to insult General Ling Xiao. However, looking at the people around him, they were either mature, noble, bright, or beautiful. They didn't seem like people who would casually slander others.
"Because I was too excited, I kept recording when I came in. Why don't we watch the original recording now? That way, we'll know who's right and who's wrong." At that moment, Ling Lan, who was standing at the side, spoke up.
'What? There's an original recording? ' A 'Jin's expression suddenly changed. A hint of panic appeared in his eyes.
"Alright, I don't need your apologies," A 'Jin quickly shouted.
'Oh ~' Everyone had an expression of understanding on their faces. A 'Jin suddenly became soft. They knew that this person must have said something bad about General Ling Xiao. The crowd's gazes towards them were no longer polite. There were even flashes of swords. They were just short of rushing up and waving their swords.
The hostile gazes from the crowd made A 'Jin and the muscular man embarrassed. The muscular man even glared at A' Jin fiercely. He turned his head and gave an apologetic smile. He wanted to brush it off. "I'm really sorry, my useless little brother. It looks like his words were indeed a little risky. However, please believe that he definitely didn't do it on purpose. Why don't we just forget about this matter? "
"You think it's not intentional just because you said so? You think it's over just because you said so? " Luo Lang received a silent glance from Ling Lan. He immediately took a step forward and raised his beautiful chin. He had an arrogant expression on his face.
"Then what do you want?" The muscular man saw that the other party didn't know how to appreciate his kindness and his expression instantly darkened.
"Since you dared to insult General Ling Xiao, then you should be prepared to be taught a lesson. Draw a line and we'll settle this once. "Luo Lang directly sent out a challenge.
"Haha, a half-step domain realm person actually dares to challenge a beginner stage Qi-Jin person. Even if my little brother was in the wrong, isn't it a little too much for you to be so aggressive?" The muscular man was so angry that he laughed.
"I'll allow you to find outside help to replace this trash." Luo Lang looked at A 'Jin with disdain. Then, he said arrogantly, "Isn't this fair?"
"Don't."
"This isn't fair to you."
"Don't be so naive."
"You'll be tricked by them."
When the spectators heard that Luo Lang allowed the other party to replace him, they instantly exclaimed in shock. They all tried to persuade Luo Lang not to do so in case he was tricked by the other party.
However, everyone's attempts to stop him were useless. Luo Lang seemed to have already made up his mind. He was going to fight it out with the other party to get justice for the innocent General Ling Xiao.
"In that case, our Lan Rong will accept the challenge." The muscular man saw that Luo Lang was determined to fight the other party so he didn't pretend to be gentle anymore. He replied coldly.
The moment the name Lan Rong was mentioned, everyone's expression changed. Their originally hateful gazes instantly disappeared. Many people quietly retreated and prepared to leave this mess.
"Lan Rong, Lan Jin, the Lan family! Haha … as expected. " Ling Lan's lips curled up slightly. The Lan family members who had been quiet finally couldn't hold it in anymore and were about to make a move.
Her mother didn't want to talk about her maternal family but she actually knew who it was. With Little Four digging three feet into the ground, it was impossible for Lan Luofeng to hide her secret.
However, she wasn't sure if her father knew about it. Or maybe he knew and pretended not to know so that he wouldn't make her mother sad.
"See you at the training grounds tomorrow." Lan Rong accepted the challenge and left with Lan Jin and his men.
"So it's the Lan family. You should leave Planet General as soon as possible." The passersby who hadn't left heaved a sigh of relief after Lan Rong left. When they looked at Luo Lang, they had a worried expression on their faces. Those who were kind and courageous gave them some advice before they left.
On Planet General, if you offended other people, you might have a chance to redeem yourself. However, if you offended the Lan family … unless you were extremely lucky, no one would be able to save you. Not even General Ling Xiao.
After all, the number one person in the military, the First Marshal's surname was Lan. Furthermore, the Lan family had fought on the battlefield for the Federation. They had died on the battlefield and almost had no descendants. It wasn't easy for the great-grandchildren to leave behind three young sprouts. How could the entire Lan Family not protect and dote on them? Because of this, there was an evil bamboo shoot, Lan Jin, in this generation. But fortunately, although they were all kinds of hedonistic chuunibyou, they didn't cause any big trouble.
The higher-ups of the military also gave the Lan family all sorts of benefits because of the First Marshal. This gave the Lan family a special status on Planet General. No one dared to offend them.
Gu Dongyang looked at Lan Rong and his men leaving. He had a worried expression on his face. No one knew better than him how terrifying the Lan family was on Planet General. It could be said that in other places, the Lan family was nothing. However, on Planet General, the status of the Lan family was too special. It wasn't a good thing to offend them.
"Regiment commander, what do you think?" Gu Dongyang wondered if he should ask General Ling Xiao to talk to the First Marshal and resolve this conflict.
"There's no need to think too much. Even if we take a step back today, they will still come looking for us tomorrow," Ling Lan said calmly.
After the father and son's reputation overshadowed the First Marshal's, the Lan family wouldn't remain silent anymore. Unless the First Marshal personally made a move, the Lan family wouldn't be able to find a chance. Plus, her father wouldn't give them a chance to find her mother. Since they didn't know what to do, they could only look for a breakthrough with him.
Gu Dongyang and Xie Yi were deep in thought. Luo Lang saw that Xie Yi was thinking seriously. After thinking for a while, her bright eyes became calm and indifferent.
"So that's what they said." After the calm personality's analysis, Luo Lang finally understood.
"Hence, whether I have the original audio or not, this battle will still happen. The only difference is whether we will ask for it from the side of justice or the other party," Ling Lan continued.
"They're giving us three days. The military has a good plan." Gu Dongyang could already feel the pressure of a storm approaching.
The various factions in the military were obviously adding fuel to the fire. They wanted the First Marshal's faction to have an internal conflict.
"It might be the First Marshal's idea … It's just that I don't know what that sly old fox is planning." Ling Lan frowned. Even her powerful father was a little scared when facing the First Marshal, let alone someone like her who wasn't proficient in political and military combat. She was even less confident in winning the battle.
