1357 The Best Son, The Best Younger Brother
"Ling Lan, you're so f * cking weak." Ling Lan closed her eyes abruptly. The timid Ling Lan just now made her despise her. Opening her eyes again, Ling Lan's gaze became calm, without any hesitation.
So what if I fail? Nothing can stop me, Ling Lan. The learning machine is the same.
Ling Lan took a firm step forward and pushed open the door of the learning machine that had stopped her for too long.
The door opened. Ling Lan was already mentally prepared for failure, but she didn't expect success to come so suddenly. Ling Lan was stunned.
"You're already here. What are you standing there for?" Instructor Number One's cold voice rang in her ears.
This voice was so familiar that it couldn't be more familiar. It was the voice that Ling Lan had always missed in her dreams. Ling Lan's resolute heart crumbled. "Instructor … Number One!"
Ling Lan's tears fell silently. These were tears of joy. It was also a rare display of weakness for Ling Lan to see someone she could rely on.
"Come in." Instructor Number One's voice was still calm, but Ling Lan seemed to hear an almost inaudible sigh.
"Yes." Ling Lan's figure disappeared on the spot. In the next second, she appeared in Instructor Number One's space, at the peak of that mountain.
Instructor Number One was sitting cross-legged on the stone platform, cultivating with his eyes closed.
Sensing Ling Lan's arrival, he slowly opened his eyes and said, "You used an unknown external force. You were too reckless. Learn from it next time."
Ling Lan lowered her head and said respectfully, "Yes, Instructor Number One."
"Although the result is not bad, it will have a certain impact on your future development. I think you already understand." Instructor Number One glanced at Ling Lan, a hint of surprise flashing across his eyes.
"Mm-hm. Originally, having two types of Laws was already a natural barrier to advancing to the God-Realm. Now, there's also an unknown Law energy that doesn't belong to me. If I can't perfectly resolve this issue, I'll forever be stuck at the Emperor Stage and have no fate with the God-Realm." Ling Lan shared her realization.
"It's good that you know." Instructor Number One replied calmly, "If it's a blessing, it's not a curse. If it's a curse, it can't be avoided. Everything is your own source of fortune and the root of disaster. It all depends on how you resolve it."
"Thank you for your guidance, Instructor Number One," said Ling Lan gratefully. Other than her father Ling Xiao and mother Lan Luofeng, only the instructors in the learning space would guide her without any selfish motives.
"However, for Little Four, you being able to open the learning console channel so quickly is a very good thing," praised Instructor Number One when he saw that Ling Lan had learned her lesson. Instructor Number One knew very well that both criticism and encouragement had to be applied simultaneously. Only then would it not dampen Ling Lan's fighting spirit.
"Little Four?" Ling Lan's heart skipped a beat. She realised that even though she had been here for so long, Little Four still hadn't come to find her. This was very strange. Logically speaking, after not seeing her for so long, Little Four should have pounced on her the moment she arrived, asking for hugs, comfort, and love.
"Come with me." Instructor Number One stood up and drew a line in the air with his finger, tearing open space.
Ling Lan followed Instructor Number One into the space. In the next second, she arrived at the space where Little Four was in a deep sleep.
Seeing Little Four lying quietly in the air, his entire body connected to light ribbons of energy, Ling Lan's heart ached. Her eyes filled with tears and her voice instantly became hoarse. "What's going on?"
"Come with me." Instructor Number One didn't answer. He only signalled for Ling Lan to follow him to the next space.
In this space, there were two glowing prokaryotes. One was bright, but it felt somewhat out of place. The other was dim, as if it would be extinguished in the next second.
Ling Lan could feel the energy coming from these two prokaryotes. It was so familiar that tears fell uncontrollably from her eyes.
"This is Father and Xie Yi's." As expected, her instincts towards her father had not been wrong. What surprised her even more was that Xie Yi had actually left behind a sliver of life. This made her overjoyed. Perhaps Xie Yi's sliver of life was so small that it was almost negligible, so her innate gift of Profound Insight did not detect Xie Yi's sliver of life. Ling Lan had always thought that Xie Yi had really left them. Luo Lang's heart ached, and so did hers. However, as their boss, she couldn't let herself go like Luo Lang and vent her pain. She could only silently endure all of this until she couldn't take it anymore.
"Yes. When Little Four saw your father explode, he rushed out, just like how he wanted to restrain the spiritual power you released after your death … However, he forgot what level your spiritual power was at at that time, and what kind of existence your father's spiritual power was. The consequence of surpassing one's own spiritual power was a backlash. It's already very lucky that he didn't collapse." Instructor Number One told Ling Lan the reason Little Four had fainted.
"Little Four is indeed the best son of Father and Mother, and my best little brother," Ling Lan said proudly with tears in her eyes.
Back then, she had said that her parents were Little Four's parents, and Little Four was her only biological little brother. She had said it sincerely, but she had thought that Little Four didn't understand this kind of feeling. Perhaps the 'Father and Mother' he spoke of were only the 'Father and Mother' in writing, and he didn't understand this kind of feeling of being able to die for each other. Now, it looked like she was wrong. Not only did Little Four understand, he had even done it, and he had done it much better than she had. She was still a child that Father and Mother cared about and wanted to protect, while Little Four had protected Father.
"Son? Little brother? " A trace of shock flashed through Instructor Number One's eyes. He had always thought that Little Four had risked his life to absorb Ling Xiao's spiritual power core because of Ling Lan. He didn't want Ling Lan to be sad, and that Little Four's level of evolution at most meant that he had acknowledged Ling Lan. Now, it looked like this wasn't the case. Could it be that Prince Four had really evolved to the point where he had all kinds of feelings?
"Yes, Little Four is my, Ling Lan's, younger brother. He is the son of my father, Ling Xiao, and my mother, Lan Luofeng." Ling Lan finally understood that Little Four's name was based on her name. Her 'Lan' had the word 'Cao', so his' Four 'also had to have the word' Cao '. Even if they shared the same name, it didn't matter.
Little Four really wanted to be Ling Xiao's and Lan Luofeng's son, and she was Ling Lan's little brother. It wasn't just something he said casually.
Instructor Number One was silent for a long time. In the end, he sighed and said, "In that case, Ling Lan, I'll leave Little Four to you from now on. Don't let him down."
Perhaps Prince Four didn't need them to monitor him anymore. With Ling Lan around, Prince Four wouldn't evolve to the wrong path.
Ling Lan was a disciple that Number One had painstakingly nurtured. She was also the disciple he was most proud of in his life. Although Number One never said it out loud, deep in his heart, he trusted Ling Lan completely. He believed that Ling Lan would never let him down.
"Yes, Instructor Number One." Ling Lan nodded. Even if Instructor Number One didn't say this, she would never let Little Four down in this life.
"As you can see now, everyone's situation isn't good." Instructor Number One temporarily put down Little Four and pointed at the two light cores.
