Translator: ryuxenji Editor: H2dH2mr Major Jing Ren said unhappily, "Every time we pass by here, you never come down to sit with me."
"You know as well that one of us has to stay behind to guard the 7th Bugle Call," said Major Luo Yang with a wry smile.
"I shouldn't have let you follow Tian Fang back then. If you had followed me, you would have been a senior colonel by now." Major Jing Ren cast a cold glance at Tian Fang, as if blaming him for hindering Luo Yang's future.
Senior Colonel Tian Fang could only rub his nose, not daring to make a sound. Back then, it had indeed been him who had dragged Luo Yang to help him, because he knew very well that with his carefree personality, he would not be able to handle such trivial matters well. He needed to find a trusted friend to help him, and Luo Yang was his only choice.
"Still, how did you come down this time?" asked Jing Ren curiously.
"Because the 7th Bugle Call is undergoing a system reset. I'm fine there," replied Luo Yang.
"Reset?" Jing Ren's expression changed slightly. "What exactly happened?" Unless something major happened, or the system was in chaos, there was no need to reset the system. It looked like something major had indeed happened to the 7th Bugle Call.
Luo Yang and Tian Fang exchanged a look and smiled wryly. In the end, it was still Luo Yang who answered, "Actually, this matter can be big or small. Our ship has been controlled by a cadet from Doha."
"Control of personnel?" Jing Ren saw the wry smiles on the two's faces, and his expression changed drastically. "Could it be that the control of the ship has been switched?"
Senior Colonel Tian Fang smiled wryly and said, "Exactly!" If not for this reason, who would be able to control a Domain master like him?
After a long while, Jing Ren's unpredictable expression finally returned to normal. With a serious expression, he said, "You can't let the military know about this. Otherwise, both of you will be punished. If you're unlucky, you might even be sent to military court."
"With so many cadets, this matter might not be able to be controlled," said Luo Yang, "But as long as one person is willing to help, we'll be fine."
Jing Ren's expression flickered at these words. "What do you mean?"
"As long as General Ling Xiao is willing to take on this matter..."
"General Ling Xiao!" Jing Ren exclaimed. "How is that possible? What right does he have to help us? "
"Because, the leader of the cadets who took over the 7th Bugle Call is General Ling Xiao's son. If we don't look for him, who should we look for?" Senior Colonel Tian Fang's Tian Fang was a bomb.
"What? General Ling Xiao has a son? " Jing Ren couldn't believe it. He covered his forehead with his left hand and waved his right hand. "Wait a minute. Let me sort out my thoughts first. This is too much information for my CPU to process."
Finally, Major General Jing Ren regained his composure. He thought about it. Indeed, the only person who could and was willing to help them was General Ling Xiao. However, Major General Jing Ren was still somewhat worried. "Will General Ling Xiao intervene in this matter for his son?"
Senior Colonel Tian Fang smiled and said, "Before we left, Ling Lan had hinted for me to look for General Ling Xiao!"
"Ling Lan is General Ling Xiao's son? Could it be that he has already thought of the consequences? "If that was the case, then Ling Lan was clearly not a simple young man. A glint flashed across Jing Ren's eyes.
"Both in terms of strength and strategy, he is very strong. His future achievements may very well not lose out to General Ling Xiao's." Luo Yang was extremely impressed by Ling Lan, thinking that his future was limitless.
"That brat is audacious to the extreme, and ruthless enough. Whether it is towards himself or his companions, he makes me feel somewhat fearful..." Senior Colonel Tian Fang rubbed his chin with a serious expression. "I'm very worried that he will go to the extreme."
Senior Colonel Tian Fang, however, held a different opinion. He was afraid that after Ling Lan succeeded this time, he would become even more unscrupulous. If he encountered someone even more ruthless than himself, it was very likely that he would suffer a crushing defeat.
"He's only sixteen," Luo Yang reminded Tian Fang. "There are still too many possibilities in the future. We can't just make a decision now!"
Tian Fang fell silent, but his worry had not completely disappeared. Ling Lan was indeed outstanding in all aspects to the point of being aberrant, but the more aberrant a person was, the more dire the consequences would be when they took the wrong path.
"Heh, what are you worried about? Isn't he General Ling Xiao's son? "Jing Ren reminded Tian Fang. With the great tree that was Ling Xiao protecting him, there was no need to worry unnecessarily.
Realization dawned on Tian Fang, and he laughed in spite of himself. His heart was faintly shaken — who would have thought that Ling Lan would leave such a deep impression on him that he had forgotten about General Ling Xiao? What a terrifying presence this was, actually suppressing his idol...
Right then, Ling Lan's group was charging mightily into the place specially arranged for the students to eat or rest — the main cafeteria of the stronghold. They had already been informed by the guide staff that at five o 'clock in the afternoon, they would board a new ship and begin a new journey.
"Boss Lan, as you predicted, this is a transit station," said Han Jijun in a low voice. Ever since Ling Lan had found out that their destination was here, she had already guessed that this was a transit station. Now, it was proven that Ling Lan's guess was correct.
Such a large group of people had surged into the cafeteria at once, and the uniforms they were wearing were not the military uniforms of the Federation — it was clear that these people were new cadets. However, this group of cadets all had wide smiles on their faces, relaxed and at ease. They were not as quiet as the others when they came in — many of them were chatting happily, bustling with activity.
The gazes of the other cadets in the cafeteria instantly focused on them, all of them trying to guess which planet these people were from.
At a large round table in the corner of the hall, a group of about ten cadets was looking at them. Among them, a youth with a cultured and refined air was deep in thought.
"Zhou Ya? What did you discover? "asked a lazy-looking youth beside him when he saw his companion's serious expression.
The youth was woken up instantly. He frowned internally and said, "Wang Hui, this group of people is not simple. If there's nothing important, let's not provoke them." Zhou Ya glanced at his companion beside him and reminded him.
"Oh?" Wang Hui did not listen to his companion's reminder, his expression completely unconcerned.
"This group of people did not split up, choosing to sit together. This means that there must be a backbone among them, or someone strong enough to convince them... we've just entered the military academy. Before we know the other party's background, it's best not to offend them carelessly." Zhou Ya did not think that their group of ten or so people would be able to go up against these hundreds of people. Even if they were all strong, it would still be difficult for them to take on so many fists.
Right then, a youth who had been eavesdropping outside walked back in, and leaned close to Wang Hui's ear to tell him the other party's background. Wang Hui's expression, which had been somewhat restrained by Zhou Ya's words, relaxed once more. He said contemptuously, "So they're from Doha. So what if they have more people? What kind of people have they produced these past few years? Haven't they still been suppressed by our Wuji galaxy for three consecutive years, unable to move? "
"Although Doha hasn't produced any outstanding missions these past few years, that place is still the gathering place for the various prodigies of the Federation. We cannot underestimate them." Zhou Ya was undoubtedly cautious. Before they understood the other party's background, they were not in favor of offending them carelessly.
"Alright, I won't argue with you. As long as the other party doesn't provoke us, I definitely won't take the initiative to attack." Wang Hui raised his hands in surrender at Zhou Ya's repeated reminders. He changed the subject and said, "Zhou Ya, don't you feel that their expressions are somewhat different from the freshmen of the other planets? It seems like they haven't suffered any setbacks. Could it be that they haven't been troubled by the ship's staff at all? "
It should be known that on their journey here, they had been troubled countless times by the ship's crew. Although they had resisted at first, as the other party's numbers increased and their strength increased, they had no choice but to bow their heads and admit defeat. However, perhaps because their group of ten or so people was a cut above the rest, the crew had let them off in the end. They were not like the other freshmen, who had been bullied to the point of almost losing their self-confidence.
Zhou Ya also had this question in his heart. "This, is what I want to know too." Why were they still able to maintain their youthful vigor and confidence? After this journey, even the arrogant Wang Hui had become much more restrained than before, learning how to read people's faces.
Zhou Ya mumbled to himself, "We'll set off together with them in the future. We'll definitely be able to uncover the mystery behind this."
There weren't that many people in the cafeteria, so Ling Lan and the others easily found a more spacious place to sit down. As usual, Ling Lan's team, Wu Jiong's team, and Li Yingjie's team each took a round table, while the other teams crowded around the three of them. Ever since the students who were not originally from the Central Scout Academy found out that they had taken down the ship and given them a chance to learn, they did not want to leave this group of strong teams before them.
Students who could get into the military academy were all smart — they knew which choice was better for them. Thus, they followed the Central Scout Academy students' example, choosing their seats to sit with. This kind of obvious group action made the others even more wary.
Some of the youths near Ling Lan's side even left their original seats, choosing a seat further away from them to sit.
Right then, Wu Jiong and Li Yingjie walked over to greet Ling Lan, "Boss Lan, we have something to discuss with you."
Ling Lan gestured for the two of them to sit down.
Li Yingjie glanced at those new cadets who were looking at them coldly, their gazes vaguely hostile, and sneered, "Looks like they don't welcome us."
Wu Jiong smiled and said, "Were we too arrogant when we came in?"
Ling Lan thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "A little! I reckon that as the number of new cadets increases, there will be more people who hate us. "
Li Yingjie was just about to say something when he saw over ten people looking for trouble with the Doha cadets at the outermost table. He frowned and said, "Someone's looking for trouble with us?"
Wu Jiong also saw them. "They're not from our Central Scout Academy. They're new cadets from other academies in Doha."
"Should we do something?" Zilong looked at Ling Lan. Even if those people were not from the Central Scout Academy, they were still from Doha — they were companions from the same planet. Zilong did not want to see them being bullied.
"Let's leave this matter to Li Yingjie." Ling Lan's words made the others turn to look at her in surprise.
"Why?" asked Li Yingjie, displeased. He wasn't Ling Lan's follower, so what right did she have to order him around?
