Translator: ryuxenji Editor: H2dH2mr When Zilong had called out, the others had also noticed that the person standing silently behind them was the person they had been waiting for all this time, Ling Lan. Everyone grew excited.
The smile on Ling Lan's lips had disappeared the moment Zilong had turned his head. Hearing Zilong's question, she harrumphed coldly with a straight face and said, "I've been sitting behind you all this time, but you all were careless enough not to check behind you. If I were an assassin, none of you would have been able to escape."
They had thought that after going on an interstellar adventure, they would have become more cautious. Unexpectedly, they had still been a little careless, overlooking something they should not have overlooked.
Faced with Ling Lan's cold expression, Zilong and Luo Lang did not dare to retort. They lowered their heads under the reprimand, their faces full of shame and remorse.
Only Han Jijun managed to explain, "Boss, you purposely hid your aura. No matter how careful we were, we still couldn't guard against you."
Han Jijun's words made Zilong and Luo Lang nod furiously. In truth, when they had arrived here, they had already carefully observed their surroundings. The auras of the passengers sitting behind them were extremely ordinary, so they had not noticed anything out of the ordinary. That was why they had let down their guard.
"Even if you don't sense any danger, you still can't let down your guard completely," warned Ling Lan.
"Understood, Boss!" The five of them nodded respectfully. They knew very well that Ling Lan was doing this for their own good. Otherwise, she would not have personally stepped up to teach them a lesson.
Ling Lan swept a satisfied glance over them, and then said, "Since we're all here, then let's go to the registration point for the First Men's Military Academy." She moved forward, but she had only taken a few steps when Xie Yi called out from behind her, "Boss Lan, please wait a moment!"
Ling Lan turned around and raised a brow. "What's the matter?"
Xie Yi took a deep breath to calm her nerves, and then said, "Yes, I want to tell Boss Lan about the answer you asked me three months ago."
Ling Lan crossed her arms in front of her chest and curled her lips. She said with interest, "Oh?"
The look in Ling Lan's eyes made Xie Yi's heart twitch, and the courage she had built up almost disappeared again. He clenched his fists and cheered himself on. 'Don't be nervous. I must say it. Whether I live or die depends on today.'
He took another deep breath and then said, "In the team, in terms of battle prowess, I am indeed no match for the leader and Luo Lang. In terms of strategy, I am no match for the military adviser. In terms of meticulousness, I am also no match for Lin Zhong-qing. However, I have an advantage that no one else has, and that is that my skin is thick enough. I can do things that they can't..."
When he said that his skin was thick enough, the others were shocked. Could it be that Xie Yi was planning to use the sticky candy tactic to pester Boss Lan until he had no choice but to accept him in the end? They discreetly wiped away the cold sweat on their foreheads. Had they forgotten to tell Xie Yi that Boss Lan's endurance was super terrifying? Using this tactic would definitely be useless. "Since I have been in the team for three years, I have also learned about the other members of the team.
The leader and Luo Lang are focused on combat and have no patience to communicate with others. Although the military adviser is smart and scheming, he also puts pressure on others. They don't dare to come into contact with the military adviser rashly, afraid that they will be tricked by the military adviser... "Xie Yi listed out the strong points of his teammates one by one, and then his gaze finally landed on Lin Zhong-qing." Meanwhile, Lin Zhong-qing is very popular. He is also meticulous and cautious. He obtained a lot of information from others, so it should be said that he was originally quite suitable for that role. However, the logistics of the team is very heavy, and he is also the busiest member of the team... "
Xie Yi was right. Ling Lan nodded slightly in agreement. With this, Xie Yi, who had been somewhat nervous, was instantly reinvigorated, feeling as if he had been given a shot of confidence.
His courage was boosted, and he abruptly raised his head to meet Ling Lan's gaze. He said firmly, "So, I plan to take on the role of external liaison. The team needs a diplomat. When interacting with other teams, having someone as thick-skinned as me to communicate with them is undoubtedly the most suitable choice. No matter what the other party's attitude is, I will be able to handle it."
"I didn't expect that you would actually find such a role for yourself. Don't you think it's a waste of your talent?" Ling Lan stared coldly at Xie Yi, her gaze seeming to see right through him. "Zilong told me before that you are a combat expert no weaker than Luo Lang. Don't you want to be the left and right attacker of the team?"
Xie Yi laughed bitterly and said, "If there were only the five of us in the team and you, Boss Lan, were not around, perhaps I would be ambitious enough to fight for the left and right attacker positions, but..." He shook his head and said, "The left and right attackers, the leader and Luo Lang would definitely not give up on these two positions. And for you, Boss Lan, the left and right attackers are the ones you are most familiar with and have the most rapport with. This is undoubtedly more acceptable to you. I know myself very well — three years' time is not enough for me to snatch this position from their hands. "
At this point, Xie Yi's gaze instantly sharpened. "Of course, after another three to five years, when I have the confidence that my cooperation with Boss Lan is not inferior to theirs, I will fight for this role."
When Xie Yi had been thinking about this back then, he had also considered that with Ling Lan not around and with Zilong as the leader, he would indeed have a good chance of being the left and right attacker. However, Xie Yi believed that with Ling Lan's strength, as long as the other recovered from his injuries, the First Men's Military Academy would definitely be in the bag for the other. One year later, Ling Lan would definitely succeed in her counterattack and return to the First Men's Military Academy. Thus, he needed to consider the situation one year later.
Xie Yi's words made Ling Lan feel a little emotional. She had not expected Xie Yi to have included her in his plans for the team. If her father had not made a blunder and sent her into the First Men's Military Academy, she would have felt guilty towards this answer that Xie Yi had struggled so hard to obtain...
Ling Lan looked deeply at Xie Yi and then said, "I understand!" That said, she turned to leave, being the first to lead the way out of the hall of platform 9.
Xie Yi was taken aback by these words, unsure of what Ling Lan meant by them. Right then, Luo Lang excitedly nudged Xie Yi and scolded jokingly, "Idiot! Boss has acknowledged you. "
Luo Lang's words made Xie Yi overjoyed. He had really received Boss Lan's acknowledgement? That was great! His heart, which had been suspended in the air for three months, finally settled down. He felt that his eyes were watery. He didn't expect that he would be so emotional that he was about to cry. This was too embarrassing. It really wasn't something that a man should do ….
Zilong followed closely behind Ling Lan. When he passed by Xie Yi, he clapped him heavily on the shoulder to congratulate him. After three years, they had already treated Xie Yi as their own brother. Thus, they sincerely hoped that he could receive Boss Lan's acknowledgement. Otherwise, it would be a matter of regret for them.
Han Jijun followed behind Zilong and nodded at Xie Yi. Although his expression was as stern as ever, his eyes could not hide the joy and congratulations he felt for Xie Yi.
When Lin Zhong-qing passed by Xie Yi, he chuckled softly and said, "Xie Yi, congratulations." Having also undergone Ling Lan's test, Lin Zhong-qing understood Xie Yi's feelings very well. Back then, when he had found out that he had been acknowledged, he had also been beside himself with joy, because this meant that he was truly a member of the team, and no longer a temporary guest...
The last one was Luo Lang. He smiled at Xie Yi, his smile as beautiful as a peach blossom. His eyes were full of emotions, making people involuntarily fall for him. However, Luo Lang's next sentence instantly broke this spell. "Idiot Xie Yi, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and follow me. "
Watching Luo Lang's retreating figure, Xie Yi chuckled bitterly as he followed.
Xie Yi could not help but sigh internally. Their entry into the First Men's Military Academy would definitely not be smooth sailing. Luo Lang was very likely to become a source of trouble for their team... he could almost imagine that in the military academy, he would often have to deal with all sorts of 'diplomatic' issues caused by Luo Lang.
"If Boss Lan was here, he would definitely be able to suppress those demons." With this thought in mind, Xie Yi began to fret over how he would survive his first year in the military academy without Ling Lan holding the fort.
"I hope it's just my groundless fears!" Xie Yi could only hope so.
The six of them walked out of the platform, and a refreshing breeze blew over, lifting everyone's spirits. Although the spaceport was a fully enclosed man-made space, it simulated the natural environment of the planet, making everyone feel extremely comfortable.
The hover station was right in front of the platform, just a few steps away. Meanwhile, at this time, Ling Lan's backpack had already been placed on Zilong's shoulders. As Ling Lan's right-hand follower, how could he let his boss carry him personally?
Meanwhile, Ling Lan had her hands in her pockets with a relaxed expression. Since her follower wanted to fawn on her, she needed to give him a chance to perform. Besides, she also knew that with Zilong's bear-like and muscular body, he wouldn't feel any pressure even if he had to carry another 500 to 600 catties on his back, so she was happy to relax.
The hover cars of the spaceport came almost one after another. The six of them were split into two hover cars, and after keying in the area they wanted to go to, the hover cars sped towards their destination. Along the way, all they could see were hover cars flying at various altitudes, weaving in and out of one another. It was as if they had entered a moving world filled with hover cars.
The registration point for the First Men's Military Academy was at Boarding Platform 99 in Area K. When Ling Lan's hover car flew into Area K, the sky full of hover cars disappeared. The hover car closest to them was already one kilometre away. It was clear that there were very few people entering Area K, which also showed that the First Men's Military Academy was not that easy to get into.
The hover car soon arrived at boarding platform number 99. Ling Lan and the others alighted from the hover car. In front of the boarding platform was a gate. In order to enter, one needed a pass, and this pass was the admission notice that had been sent.
Seeing this, Zilong and the others' expressions darkened and they stopped in their tracks. This was because they knew that the time to say goodbye to Ling Lan was about to arrive. Their initial excitement was now replaced by a sense of loss known as the sorrow of separation.
"Why aren't you moving?" Seeing the five of them stop at almost the same time, their faces dejected, Ling Lan was laughing internally, but her expression was one of confusion.
"Boss …" Zilong was the first to call out, but he didn't know what to say.
