Translator: ryuxenji Editor: H2dH2mr However, the outstanding youths were still frightened by the major general of the 23rd Division. The moment the other had appeared, they had felt the aura around the major general, so terrifying that it threatened to crush them in an instant. If the other had not spoken to Ling Lan, dissipating this aura, they probably would not have been able to hold on for long.
This made them secretly admire the 23rd Division — as expected of General Ling Xiao's men, they were obviously much stronger than the other divisions. This made these youths respect the 23rd Division immensely. Four years later, many students would set their goal of enrolling into the 23rd Division.
This was definitely a beautiful misunderstanding. Think about it, Ling Lan's aura of perfect Qi-Jin, unleashing it at full power, naturally surpassed the level of a normal officer. Moreover, these officers were afraid of bringing too much pressure to the students, so they all retracted their auras, giving the students this false impression.
Meanwhile, Ling Xiao was a god-class operator — even if he suppressed his aura, the difference in their levels was too great. Just getting close to him was enough to make others feel immense pressure. This was also why the students felt it so strongly. However, after chatting with his daughter, he was in a good mood and unconsciously relaxed his defensive aura, dissipating much of the pressure. Actually, this was also the best time to assassinate Ling Xiao. It had to be said that Ling Xiao's only two weaknesses were his mother and daughter, Ling Lan.
Thus, it was not that those people were not strong, but that Ling Xiao and Ling Lan were too strong, creating this strange misunderstanding.
After saying goodbye to the team members, Ling Lan brought Luo Lang back to their villa dormitory. Before Ling Lan could tell Luo Lang the truth, Ling Lan received a notice from the upper echelons of the military. They said that the 23rd Division assessment representative would be coming to her villa for a tour soon.
At the end of the notice, the upper echelons did not forget to remind Ling Lan to find a chance to praise her alma mater. If her alma mater was good, everyone would be better off.
Ling Lan hung up the communicator with a cold expression. This news made Han Jijun and the others look at each other. It should be known that the assessment team of the division had nothing to do with them freshmen, so why would this person from the 23rd Division come looking for them? They had forgotten that the 23rd Division's commander, Ling Xiao, was Ling Lan's father.
Well, since Ling Lan never talked about Ling Xiao in front of them, over time, they almost ignored the fact that Ling Xiao was Ling Lan's father. This was a typical case of darkness under the light. It could only be said that in their hearts, Ling Lan was so powerful that they had forgotten about Ling Xiao's existence.
"Damn it, what kind of tricks does this idiot father want to play?" Ling Lan, who was depressed, could only wait for her father's arrival in the hall with a cold expression.
Looking at the cold Boss Lan, everyone knew that Ling Lan was not in a very good mood. At this time, Luo Lang could already confirm that his boss definitely knew that major general just now.
Other than the representatives of the upper echelons of the academy, there were only three people from the 23rd Division who had come to the villa. The one in the lead was Ling Xiao, while the other two followed silently behind him. When Ling Xiao stepped into the hall of the villa, they automatically chose two spots and stood still.
Seeing this, Ling Lan knew that these two people must be her father's personal bodyguards. This was because the spots they were standing in — one was at the window. The view from the window was very wide, allowing them to grasp the situation outside. Meanwhile, the other was standing in a spot that was almost ignored by everyone else, but everyone in the hall could clearly be seen by him. In other words, if anyone in the hall made any strange movements, he would be able to see them. This combination of one in the light and one in the dark, one outside and one inside, was extremely well-coordinated.
Ling Xiao nodded at Ling Lan's group of six with a smile. Under the arrangement of the upper echelons of the academy, he sat down on the sofa in the hall and chatted amiably with Ling Lan's group for a while, gaining a general understanding of their situation. After that, he also conversed with the upper echelons of the academy. Finally, at his request, the representatives of the upper echelons of the academy had no choice but to leave. Of course, before they left, they did not forget to throw a look at Ling Lan, telling her to perform well.
After the upper echelons of the academy had all left, leaving only Ling Lan's team and Ling Xiao's group of three in the villa, only then did Ling Xiao abandon his originally refined and gentlemanly demeanor. With a shake of his arms, he leaned back against the sofa without a care for his image, grumbling, "Talking to them is really tiring!"
This decadent demeanor made the eyes of Ling Xiao's two bodyguards twitch. They were probably roaring in their hearts, 'Sir, please, retain some of the dignity and demeanor of a general!'
Of course, this kind of behaviour also made Zilong and the others exchange glances, unsure of what to do. If they were conversing properly, they would still know what to say, but in this kind of situation that was not an emergency, they had no way of dealing with it.
In unison, they all turned to look at their boss, Ling Lan, and saw Ling Lan crossing her arms over her chest, staring coldly at the other party … Alright, Boss was definitely not in a good mood. It was better for them to stand further away.
Silently, Han Jijun, Xie Yi, and Lin Zhong-qing all took several steps back. Han Jijun was still quite the bro, not forgetting to give the slow fellow Zilong a tug before retreating.
Zilong watched in bewilderment as the three of them silently pulled away from Boss Lan. Then, he sensed his boss's aura. Alright, although he was slow, his beastly instincts let him know that Han Jijun's group had made the right choice. Thus, he also quickly retreated. In the spirit of helping a comrade who had been in trouble with him, he didn't forget to remind Luo Lang.
Just like that, after Luo Lang reacted, he also quietly retreated. These movements were actually completed within a few seconds. If one didn't pay attention, it would feel like the five of them had all retreated at about the same time.
Perhaps the cold aura around Ling Lan was a little threatening, but Ling Xiao finally realized that his arrival didn't seem to be welcomed by his own daughter. He quickly stood up and smiled awkwardly. "Student, did our arrival disturb you?"
"What do you think, Major General?" Major general? "Ling Lan replied coldly. She could already predict that her originally peaceful military academy life would definitely be ruined by her old man. (Speaking of which, Ling Lan's military academy life had never been peaceful from the start … did this count as Ling Lan wanting to frame her?)
Ling Lan's reply made Lin Zhong-qing and Xie Yi suck in a breath of cold air. Was it really good to treat the major general of the 23rd Division with such an unwelcoming attitude?
Only Han Jijun seemed to have thought of something, but it was too fast for him to catch. This made him frown and he began to ponder.
Ling Xiao's two bodyguards frowned at the same time. Ling Lan's behaviour made them extremely angry. As Ling Xiao's personal bodyguards, they couldn't allow anyone to be disrespectful to their superior, especially when this superior was the one they admired the most.
The only one who maintained a good mood was Ling Xiao. He didn't care at all about Ling Lan's attitude. In short, no matter what expression or action his daughter made, in his father's eyes, it was all so perfect … Look, this is my daughter. She will definitely not be crushed by power! As expected of my, Ling Xiao's, child! In the eyes of a 24 Filial Exemplary father, there was absolutely nothing wrong with his own child. If there really was something wrong with her, it would be someone else's fault.
Thus, the proud Ling Xiao walked towards Ling Lan with a smile on his face. He opened his arms and said, "In short, I'll have to trouble you during this period of time at the military academy." Ling Xiao was prepared to use a passionate hug to express his pride and his strong fatherly love.
Ling Xiao's passionate action made the expressions of the other five members of Ling Lan's team change slightly. They had originally put some distance between themselves and Ling Lan, but this time, they almost simultaneously retreated a few steps to increase the distance between them.
They knew very well that their boss hated physical contact with strangers. Even they wouldn't come into close contact unless it was absolutely necessary, much less such a passionate hug.
Han Jijun couldn't help but glance nervously at Boss Lan, who was standing ramrod straight in front of them and exuding a cold aura. He hoped that his boss would be able to endure it this time. After all, the other was a major general of the 23rd Division. If he offended the other …
That's not right. Wasn't the 23rd Division Ling Lan's father's division? Han Jijun finally thought of something. With a stunned expression, he turned to look at the major general who was obviously acting intimately with Ling Lan, and a thought flashed through his mind …
Reality proved that Ling Lan would not let herself be wronged. She abruptly raised her fist and punched viciously at the newcomer's abdomen.
With a "bam", Ling Lan's punch sent her father flying back onto the sofa. This extremely obvious attack caused the expressions of the two people beside Ling Xiao to change drastically. They had wanted to stop Ling Lan, but they were suppressed by a powerful aura, unable to move at all.
They looked at their chief in shock, not daring to struggle at all. This was because they knew who this aura was coming from — it was their chief, Sir Ling Xiao.
Seeing Ling Xiao lying on the sofa with a pained expression, holding his stomach and pretending to be pitiful, Ling Lan blew on her fist and asked coldly, "What are you doing here?"
"I missed you, of course." Ling Xiao's eyes were full of grievance. Even so, he was extremely happy inside because Ling Lan's reaction proved that his daughter had long since recognised him. As expected of his daughter. She had sharp eyes, seeing through the truth with just one glance.
"You actually irresponsibly left the 23rd Division behind to come here. Is this how a division commander should act?" Ling Lan's icy face finally cracked as she roared in a low voice.
Why did she think that Ling Xiao was a responsible and trustworthy man? As expected, the image one imagined in one's heart would be seriously inconsistent with reality. Ling Lan felt that she had been deceived.
This shout stunned Zilong and the others. They stared in shock at the major general who was sitting on the sofa, holding his stomach, his entire face showing only his eyes. Was he that cultured and refined General Ling Xiao, the idol of the entire Federation?
Only Han Jijun exhaled softly and thought to himself, It really is him ~!
"I missed my son. What's wrong with coming over to take a look?" Since his daughter had seen through him, Ling Xiao did not pretend anymore. He instantly sat down on the sofa, pulled off the mask that made him feel somewhat uncomfortable, and said with a righteous expression.
