"Compared to Lan Yu, who's easier to deal with?"
"Of course, it's still Ling Xiao. That's because Ling Xiao has too many enemies. Not only do the other countries see him as a threat, but there are also many people within the Federation who want to move this huge rock. He can't block their path. Thus, as long as he shows a slight flaw and gives others a chance, they will attack him together. At that time, no matter how strong Ling Xiao is, he won't be able to fight against so many people. He will die even if he doesn't die. "
"Plus, one of them is already at the end of his days while the other is still rising. He hasn't reached his peak yet. The people in power in each country know who they should deal with first. Once Ling Xiao becomes the ruler of the universe, the Huaxia Federation might really dominate the galaxy." The leader scoffed. His eyes were filled with ruthlessness. "This is something we will not allow. Ling Xiao must die."
"So, our target this time isn't the First Marshal but Ling Xiao?" His companions immediately understood. They were a little confused about their leader's scheming, and they didn't follow up. This was clearly not their leader's style in the past.
"That's right. I have to find out what Ling Xiao's fatal weakness is …" The leader's lips curled into a smile. He seemed to have found it after gathering information from various sources.
"What is it?" His partner asked curiously.
The leader glanced at him coldly. His partner seemed to feel that he had crossed the line. His expression changed slightly. He wiped the sweat off his forehead and didn't dare to say anything else.
"If you follow me, you need to know what you can ask and what you can't ask. Don't end up like the previous one and die without a grave," said the leader calmly.
"Yes!" His partner lowered his head and replied. Their leader was usually very easy to talk to. However, once he noticed that someone had crossed the line, he would deal with that person immediately. He didn't care about their feelings at all. Many of his predecessors had disappeared because of their negligence.
Just now, he almost crossed the line too. Luckily, the question he asked wasn't dangerous. If not, he wouldn't have been warned. He would have been dealt with immediately.
Three days passed by very quickly, and during this time, the battle between the Lan Family and Luo Lang's group had also come to an end before everyone's eyes.
In the three battles, Lan Rong didn't use the domain realm masters of the Lan family. The people he sent were all masters at the peak of Qi-Jin, including himself. As for Lan Jin who offended Luo Lang, she was brought to the scene. The Lan family lost all three battles. When everyone was waiting for the Lan family to get angry, Lan Rong decisively forced Lan Jin to apologize to Luo Lang and the others.
Although Lan Jin was unwilling, he knew that the situation did not allow him to resist. In the end, he could only grit his teeth and apologize obediently.
As for Lan Ying, who everyone expected to appear, she did not show up at all. It was as if this battle had nothing to do with the Lan family. It was just a personal grudge between Lan Jue and Lan Jin. This was also an announcement of the Lan family's attitude to the outside world.
In addition, Ling Lan's absence meant that this duel had nothing to do with the Ling family.
This made some of the people who were scheming against this extremely depressed. They originally wanted to stir up trouble between the Lan and Ling Clans, but before they could even begin, they were snuffed out by the two clans. The entire incident became the result of Lingtian's subordinates standing up for the Lan family. They were not afraid of the power and authority of the Lan family.
Of course, these people would not let this matter rest. The stupid Lan Jin was successfully used again. No one knew who instigated him, but on the second day, he actually wanted to find someone to teach Luo Lang and the others a lesson. In the end, he was caught by Li Yingjie and was beaten up ruthlessly.
Of course, these were all small matters. It was just a small matter. It wouldn't cause any big waves.
The Lan family had many connections on Planet General. However, as long as the old madam of the Lan family didn't want to do anything, Lan Jin wouldn't be able to do anything. Hence, he couldn't take revenge on Li Yingjie and the others.
Even if someone was willing to give Lan Jin some face, the Li family wouldn't just stand by and do nothing if they wanted to cause trouble for Li Yingjie and the others. They might not be as powerful in the military as in the business world, but they were more than enough to suppress these small actions.
However, it wasn't without problems. Under the influence of some people, Luo Lang and the others' reputation instantly overshadowed the Ling family and the Lan family.
Because they were Ling Lan's subordinates, no matter how low-key Ling Lan was, she would still be praised for having a good eye for a hero, and for being like a father, like a son. The Ling family's reputation didn't decrease. Instead, it increased.
On the other hand, the Lan family's reputation fell again because of this incident. There was even a rumor that started spreading. The rumor was that the Lan family dared to humiliate General Ling Xiao because the First Marshal was unhappy with Ling Xiao.
Even Ling Lan, who had been staying in the reception center and not going anywhere, got to know about this rumor through all sorts of methods.
"As expected, everyone wants the Ling family to become enemies with the Lan family." Ling Lan instantly smiled when she heard what Li Yingjie said.
"Lan Jin is stupid, but Lan Rong is smart. After the challenge, he indirectly expressed the Lan family's attitude," Luo Lang said indifferently. "The Lan family doesn't want to fall out with the Ling family yet."
"The other forces all hope that the Lan Family and the Ling Family will break off so that they can reap the benefits …" Xie Yi's brows were slightly impatient. "I don't understand. Instead of working together to deal with the enemies that are eyeing us covetously, is there any meaning in scheming against each other?"
"Back then, the Three Marshals system was to check and balance hegemonism so that the country wouldn't suffer unnecessary disasters because of one person's stubbornness. However, this system has its pros and cons. No one wants to be the one being checked and balanced, and no one wants to be the one being ignored. The Three Marshals all want to completely control the Federation and operate according to their own will. As long as this isn't settled, this kind of scheming and fighting will never stop."
"Our Huaxia Empire has always been filled with internal conflicts." Ling Lan sighed.
"Since they can't get what they want, does it mean that they won't stop? Will they do something else?" Gu Dongyang asked with a serious expression.
"Of course. As long as we are on Planet General, they will never stop plotting against us," Ling Lan said calmly.
"The most important thing is the report meeting. They are waiting for us to walk right into their trap." Luo Lang still remembered the news Gu Dongyang brought. They had three days to prepare. Red Cliff was about to be destroyed.
"What should we do then?" Li Yingjie scratched his head nervously. He was afraid of plotting because of a certain someone.
"What should we do? Let's just deal with whatever comes our way, "Ling Lan said calmly.
She had completed her mission. Now, it was up to her father to see if he could help her.
