"Good, as expected of Ling Xiao's child, reaching the peak of Qi-Jin at such a young age..." Perhaps this was why Ling Lan had been able to escape this calamity by sheer luck. That Domain master who had attacked Ling Lan probably had not expected Ling Lan to have already reached this level, and had not gone all out to kill him from the start, giving Ling Lan a chance to escape.
Mu Shui-qing's gaze was gentle as he looked at Ling Lan in the recovery pod. This was undoubtedly Ling Lan's good fortune. He was just about to close the recovery pod when he suddenly sensed that Ling Lan's initially slowly circulating Qi-Jin had suddenly sped up, accumulating rapidly... could it be that Ling Lan was about to enter the late stage of peak at this time? If that was the case, it was true that one who survived a great disaster was bound to have good fortune in the future.
Mu Shui-qing gently closed the recovery pod, and reminded Lan Luofeng, "Remember not to open the recovery pod during this period. This child is blessed with great fortune. In this great disaster, he actually managed to find an opportunity to advance... perhaps the time it will take for his serious injuries to heal will be greatly shortened due to this advancement."
Mu Shui-qing's words made Lan Luofeng sigh in relief. Although Ling Nanyi had been reassuring her that Ling Lan's injuries looked serious and were actually nothing serious, she just could not stop worrying. However, Mu Shui-qing was different. He was an instructor whom even Ling Xiao respected greatly — his words could not be wrong.
Mu Shui-qing thought for a moment, and then continued, "After his injuries have healed this time, have Ling Lan take a leave of absence and return to the family manor. The Scout Academy has taught him everything it needs to teach. It's time for him to learn from me..."
"Ah..." Lan Luofeng raised her head in surprise. "I understand. Thank you, Instructor Mu!"
Lan Luofeng remembered that Ling Xiao had once told her that his successful advancement to god-class operator had something to do with what Mu Shui-qing had taught him. However, Ling Xiao had never explained what Mu Shui-qing had taught him. Ling Lan learning from Mu Shui-qing this time would undoubtedly be beneficial to her future development.
Seeing Lan Luofeng's surprised expression, Mu Shui-qing couldn't help but be reminded of his most outstanding student, Ling Xiao. His expression couldn't help but become disappointed. He remembered that when he first met Ling Xiao, he was wild with joy, thinking that Ling Xiao could inherit his legacy. With such a disciple, he would have no regrets in this life.
But who would have thought that the other party would die at such a young age and wither away from this world at such a young age. At the same time that it made him grieve, he once suspected that the heavens didn't allow for the existence of such a heaven-defying monster … His heart was like dead ashes, so he chose to go into seclusion in Ling Xiao's old mansion and never paid attention to the affairs of the world again.
This time, if not for the fact that Ling Xiao had knelt in front of his door and begged him to save Ling Xiao's only bloodline, he would not have been so moved that he chose to come out of seclusion. In truth, he really did want to see the only child Ling Xiao had left behind...
Unexpectedly, what he saw shocked him once more. Although Ling Xiao had passed away, his heaven-defying talent had not been retracted by the heavens. Instead, it had been inherited by his child, who was just as aberrant. This caused his originally dead heart to be revived once more... he once again had the desire to teach his disciple.
"I hope this child can grow up smoothly, and not repeat Ling Xiao's tragedy..." He could no longer bear the tragedy of another of his prized disciples dying in an accident. This was also very cruel to him.
Right then, the dean, who was sitting in the dean's office, suddenly received news from the campus mecha battle team responsible for the safety of the academy.
"What? You're saying that the Ling family's mecha battle team has already approached the restricted airspace of the academy? " The dean had already been worried about the mysterious disappearance of the Domain masters, and now hearing this bad news, he was instantly enraged. "What the hell? Is the Ling family thinking of rebelling? "
"Dean, according to the other side, their current head of the Ling family, Ling Lan, was ambushed by a mysterious Domain instructor in the academy. Although she managed to escape with her life, she is now in a coma from severe injuries. In order to ensure the safety of their family head, they must immediately take their family head away... "The mecha battle team leader on the other end of the communicator said gloomily," Their words are obviously blaming our academy for not fulfilling its responsibility to protect the students. They even want you to give their wife a satisfactory explanation! "
"Ambushed by a Domain master?" The dean immediately understood and said, "Who is the leader of the Ling family's mecha battle team? Tell him to calm down and not do anything rash... "
The battle team leader smiled bitterly and replied, "That won't happen. The leader of the Ling family is Ling Qin! That guy, he's the type to plan before acting... "
When the dean heard that it was Ling Qin who was leading the team, his brows relaxed, but they quickly furrowed again!
"This guy, it looks like he's forcing me to come out and solve this problem!" The dean instantly understood why Ling Qin was forcing him to abdicate. Unfortunately, he had no choice but to go along with the other's wishes, because their academy was indeed in the wrong in this matter. A student had been severely injured in their academy, and by an unknown, mysterious Domain master at that... no matter what, their academy had to give them an explanation!
The dean said helplessly, "Tell Ling Qin that I will go and see their wife immediately. After understanding the situation, I will definitely give them an answer."
Very quickly, the mecha battle team leader sent Ling Qin's reply over. "Dean, Ling Qin has agreed, but the other side has only given us one hour. If we don't get a final answer, even if all of them die here, we will still charge in."
"F * ck, this brat is obviously threatening me, how despicable!" The dean almost exploded in anger, but he couldn't say anything. If he really wanted to give the other side an explanation, one hour was enough for him to get to the bottom of the matter. "I understand. Within one hour, I will have their wife contact them."
The dean hung up the communicator, a wave of anger surging through his heart... could it be that those mysterious Domain masters had really been sent by the enemy to deal with Ling Lan?
"Damn it, after scheming against Ling Xiao, they still want to deal with Ling Xiao's child?" At the thought of this possibility, the dean could no longer suppress the rage in his heart. He slammed his palm down heavily on the office desk before him.
This palm strike was infused with the dean's fury and hidden force, and actually destroyed the giant desk made of thousand-year-old redwood. With a loud crash, the entire desk collapsed, turning into a pile of rubble.
"Sir dean, where are you going?" The great hall outside was within the mainframe's territory. Su Qing, who had been monitoring the entire scene, saw the dean rush out of the dean's office in exasperation, and quickly stood up to ask in surprise.
"Su Qing, those mysterious Domain masters... their target is very likely Ling Lan. They want to kill him..." Facing his trusted general, the dean directly voiced his guess.
Su Qing's expression changed. In the academy, other than the dean, he was the only one who knew Ling Lan's true identity. He knew that Ling Lan was Major General Ling Xiao's only bloodline.
"Dean, I'll go with you!" Su Qing could not suppress the rage in his heart, and prepared to follow the dean.
"No need. Just keep a close eye on the grand armed melee. Don't let the enemy take advantage of the situation to fish in troubled waters." Although the dean was very worried about Ling Lan, he was still the dean of the Central Scout Academy. He had to be responsible for all the students — no accidents could happen during the grand armed melee.
"Understood, Dean!" Su Qing knew the severity of the matter, and accepted the order with a regretful expression.
After arranging everything, the dean hurried to the dormitory district. Due to the mainframe's restrictions, the safe zone only expelled the two grades who had participated in the grand armed melee. People of the dean's status could still enter and leave freely. Of course, it would not be so easy for normal instructors to enter and leave the safe zone during the grand armed melee; the mainframe still had many restrictions.
He arrived at Ling Lan's villa. The moment he entered, he saw a young woman with a frosty expression sitting on the sofa in the living room. She was Ling Xiao's widow, Ling Lan's mother, Lan Luofeng. Behind her stood the housekeeper of this villa, Ling Nanyi, who was registered in the academy's records.
"15 minutes. Sir dean, you came pretty quickly," said Lan Luofeng coldly to the dean, slamming down the watch in her hand. They had already received Ling Qin's message — the Ling family's mecha squad was already at the edge of the academy's restricted airspace, awaiting her final orders.
Seeing this, the dean rubbed his nose, somewhat at a loss for what to do. He did not know how to respond. He hesitated for a moment, and then asked somewhat bitterly, "Ling Lan... is she alright?!"
"Thanks to you, she's lying in a recovery pod right now, almost losing her life." Lan Luofeng's words were sharp, not giving the dean any face.
"As long as she's fine, as long as she's fine!" The academy was responsible for the child's mishap in the academy, so the dean could only swallow his pride and endure Lan Luofeng's fury.
"The opponent is a water element Domain expert, wearing the uniform of an instructor... Ye Yifan, shouldn't you give us an explanation?" A pale voice came from the top of the hall. The dean's heart skipped a beat, and he turned to look at the source of the voice. He saw a white-haired, lean old man slowly walking down the stairs, his steps slow but steady.
When he saw the old man, the Dean was shocked. He immediately jumped up and said respectfully, "Instructor Mu!"
"Hmph, you still remember that I'm your instructor? I thought you'd forgotten... "Mu Shui-qing huffed in dissatisfaction. Ye Yifan had been an outstanding student of his early days, but later on, due to differences in ideals, they had drifted apart.
The dean discreetly wiped away the cold sweat on his forehead, his expression shifting uncertainly as a thoughtful look flashed across his eyes. Mu Shui-qing had been his initiating instructor when he was young. 50 years ago, Mu Shui-qing had already become a Domain expert. After so many years, he might have already entered a whole new level...
The dean was a thoughtful person. Seeing Mu Shui-qing appear here, he began to suspect that the other two so-called Domain masters might have been Mu Shui-qing's illusions. Legend had it that God-Realm masters were able to create any energy element at will...
Actually, the dean could not be blamed for thinking this way. In his eyes, no matter how strong Ling Lan was, he was still just a youth. There was no way he could have withstood a single blow from a Domain master. If Mu Shui-qing had not stepped in to save him, Ling Lan definitely would not have been able to escape with his life from the hands of a Domain master.
If a Domain master wanted to kill a scout student, it would be as easy as crushing an ant. How could he have so easily given Ling Lan a chance to escape?
