Translator: ryuxenji Editor: H2dH2mr Looking at the darkness before her, Ling Lan could no longer maintain her composure. She gritted her teeth and said, "Dear father, are you planning to tear down our lodging? And then have us sleep on the streets? "
Ling Xiao's anger, which had been on the verge of erupting, was instantly deflated by Ling Lan's question. The entire hall was eerily silent for several seconds, and then Ling Xiao could be heard saying carefully, "This... I really couldn't control myself. I'm sorry, son. I'll be more careful next time."
Next time? There would be a next time? Ling Lan felt her head start to hurt. She knew that her dad would never be calm here, but he couldn't just tear down the house, could he?
Ling Lan, who was in a very bad mood, began to exude an endless amount of cold air. The temperature of the entire space instantly dropped by a few degrees, causing the other people in the darkness to shudder violently.
Ling Xiao naturally knew that his daughter was truly angry, and asked somewhat awkwardly, "Then, this... what should we do?"
"What should we do? Of course we have to fix it! Also, father, do you expect me to fix it myself? "Ling Lan's face was cold as she reached out her fair little hand and waved it in front of her dad's face.
Ling Xiao naturally couldn't bear for his daughter to do such menial work, so he quickly said, "I'll fix it, I'll fix it..." Taking care of his daughter was a father's duty, and besides, he was the one who had caused this mess, so he could not shirk his responsibility.
"Chief, let us take care of it." Seeing the situation, the guards beside him quickly stepped forward. If General Ling Xiao did it himself, they would not have to go back; they could just die here as an apology for their sins.
"Uh, then I'll have to trouble you." Ling Xiao knew that if he insisted on doing it, the two guards would definitely commit seppuku to atone for their sins. To save the two lives, he could only ask his subordinates to help.
"Let us help too." Even though the two who did it were just guards, the insignia on their shoulders was still that of a major. How could Zilong and the others just sit around and let the major fix things for them? They quickly jumped up to help.
In the face of the students' enthusiasm, the two guards naturally wouldn't refuse. Just like that, the few of them began to clean up the mess Ling Xiao had created. Actually, the villa had automatic machines that specialized in cleaning and repairing. Unfortunately, Ling Xiao's aura had also destroyed those machines. Thus, they could only do it themselves. Otherwise, they would have to ask the military academy to send someone to deal with it. That would be even more troublesome.
After everyone was busy and had left the hall, Ling Xiao stared at Ling Lan in front of him and said, "What do you want me to do? Son? " Even if Ling Xiao really wanted to call her baby daughter, he was calm and rational. He would not make such a low-level mistake and bring trouble to his daughter.
"What can you do?" Ling Lan raised her eyebrows and asked.
"They will apply for the army divisions, right? Even if I can't interfere with the other divisions, I still have the ability to interfere with the 23rd Division," said Ling Xiao with a smile, still looking like a modest gentleman. It was as if what he said did not have the slightest bit of selfishness. He wanted to use his power for personal gain.
Ling Lan shook her head decisively. "No need!"
"Why?" Hearing this, Ling Xiao was surprised. He had thought that his daughter would definitely be angry, and he really wanted to help his daughter vent her anger.
"This is a grudge between us students. There's no need to expand it!" Ling Lan said calmly. "Besides, even if they enter the 23rd Division and become my opponents in the future, I'm not afraid of them now, nor will I be afraid of them in the future." Ling Lan spoke resolutely and decisively. The confidence radiating from between her brows moved Ling Xiao immensely. Sob sob sob, why is my daughter so good? She's so ambitious …
Ling Xiao's internal world officially activated the 24 Filial Exemplary Father mode. His heart was filled with all sorts of emotions, and his face was full of tears. However, his expression was still calm. He was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "These are my sons. If they really apply for the 23rd Division and pass, I will take them in. As for the grudge between you two …" Ling Xiao's eyes suddenly shone with a sharp light. "I'll let you settle it personally."
Ling Lan did not seem to feel the sudden pressure from Ling Xiao's body. She still stood straight and replied calmly, "I can do what I say."
Ling Lan's performance made Ling Xiao feel both proud and sad. He was proud of his daughter's self-reliance and self-improvement, but also sad that his daughter had gone through so much hardship to support the entire Ling family for the past 16 years. If he had not disappeared for 16 whole years, how could Ling Lan have become like this, having to solve everything by herself?
Thinking of this, Ling Xiao was filled with guilt. He said in a low voice, "I'm sorry. I've wronged you these past few years."
Ling Xiao and Ling Lan both knew what he was referring to. Ling Lan's heart twitched slightly. A complicated feeling quietly rose up in her heart. For a moment, she did not know what to say. Silence began to spread between the father and daughter.
Finally, Ling Lan raised her chin and replied proudly, "I'm not wronged. I feel that this will be the most enriching part of my life. I'm glad that I can experience all of this."
Yes, if she did not disguise as a man, would she have been able to meet these sincere friends of hers, become their boss, and work hard together and grow up together? At most, she could only become a girl like Luo Chao and Han Xuya, chatting with them about their daughter's worries and fantasizing about what their future husband would be like … but was that kind of life really what she wanted?
Ling Lan shook her head internally. She was already used to this kind of exciting life. She probably could not get used to a peaceful life anymore. At least, she could not imagine herself becoming a delicate girl like Luo Chao. Perhaps becoming a tough girl like Han Xuya was more likely. Thinking of this, she began to miss those two young ladies. She wondered how they were doing in the Federation Co-ed Starship Military Academy …
"Okay, Ling Lan, you must remember what you said today. I, Ling Xiao, will be proud of you." A trace of excitement flashed through Ling Xiao's eyes. How lucky was he to have a daughter like this? If he could, he would laugh maniacally to express his joy.
"Father, I won't disappoint you." Ling Lan retracted her longing and looked at Ling Xiao with a serious expression.
Ling Xiao nodded in satisfaction, but in his heart, he was crying. Daughter, if you change 'father' to 'father', I will be even happier …
Right at this moment, the main hall of the villa suddenly lit up. It turned out that Zilong and the others had already repaired a small portion of the lights. The biggest contributor was Ling Lan — as expected of the logistics of the envoy team, he had repaired the machines at the first opportunity. Then, with the full effort of these machines, light returned to Ling Lan's villa after a full 10 minutes of darkness. Of course, it could not be compared to when it was in perfect condition, but it was still lit up. This was a good thing.
Seeing this, Ling Lan felt that she could not let her father, the king of destruction, stay any longer to prevent the villa from being destroyed again. Thus, she said, "Father, the assessment is starting tomorrow. You should go back and rest early."
Ling Xiao was touched. His daughter was really too considerate of him, afraid that he would tire himself out. In any case, he would never admit that his daughter did not like him and wanted to chase him away.
Although Ling Lan was touched, he could not bear to leave his daughter so quickly. Just as he was about to say that he was not tired at all, Ling Lan's brows suddenly arched. She glanced coldly at her father and said, "Don't you think so, my father?" Especially when she said 'my father', those four words were practically squeezed out through gritted teeth.
Those almond-shaped eyes filled with murderous intent, that warning in her words, that attitude, that tone — it was exactly the same as when she had warned him.
Thus, Ling Xiao was in for a miserable time. Because, damned him, he could not resist this kind of gaze and attitude at all …
In the end, Ling Xiao could only leave Ling Lan's villa with a belly full of grievances. Of course, before he left, he did not forget to remind his daughter to report early tomorrow. In the following week, Ling Lan's time was taken up by this heartless father, Ling Xiao. When it came to ordering his daughter around, Ling Xiao used it very smoothly.
After sending Ling Xiao off, Ling Lan secretly sighed. Finally, she had sent away this big trouble, her father, away …
When she turned her head to look at those unparalleled sparkling eyes, Ling Lan's head hurt even more. It turned out that the trouble had just begun. She still had to deal with these five underlings who were obviously overly excited and wanted to find out what was going on.
Thinking of this, Ling Lan could not help but look up at the sky and sigh. Other fathers would help their daughters settle their troubles. Why was it that when it came to her, she, as the daughter, had to help her father settle his troubles? As expected, she was not the winner in life in this world, the beloved female lead of thousands. That was why her life was so miserable and full of calamities.
After Ling Xiao and the two guards left Ling Lan's villa, they soon arrived at the nearest hover car station to wait for the arrival of the hover car.
Right then, one of the guards suddenly spoke up, "Chief, Young Master Lan is very strong." It was the one who had been standing in the corner of the hall, paying close attention to Ling Lan and the others.
"Don't call him Young Master Lan. Just call him Ling Lan." Ling Xiao smiled faintly and replied, "He will be a soldier like you all in the future. At that time, you all will be his superiors."
"Yes, Chief!" The two guards replied at the same time, a look of admiration in their eyes. General Ling Xiao was this kind of person — he treated every soldier equally, without any distinction of rank.
The hover car soon arrived. The guard opened the backseat door for Ling Xiao, and Ling Xiao walked up and sat down. After that, the guards got in one after another, quickly keyed in their lodgings at the military academy, and the hover car sped off at breakneck speed …
Sitting in the hover car, Ling Xiao still had that standard smile on his face, but the guards beside him could clearly sense that Ling Xiao was in a good mood.
Ling Xiao was indeed very happy, because today's meeting proved that Ling Lan's disguise was very impressive. After living with Zilong and the others for so long, they had not discovered that she was a girl. With this ability, it would be even more difficult for outsiders to discover Ling Lan's secret. This made the worry that had been weighing on his heart disappear.
He just needed to endure for four years! By the fifth year, he would definitely take his daughter into his own division and protect her nearby. Then, he would give his daughter a life that truly belonged to her … Ling Xiao secretly clenched his fist and swore to himself.
