Translator: ryuxenji Editor: H2dH2mr Following Li Yinfei's voice, all the lights on the stage turned to focus on her. Everyone could see Li Yinfei's face clearly, but the entire audience sighed heavily. It turned out that Li Yinfei's face was currently covered by a thin veil, revealing only her pair of extremely enchanting phoenix eyes. As her gaze flickered, there was actually a soul-stirring quality to it. Even though they could not see her face, everyone knew that Li Yinfei must be a peerless beauty.
When the song "Never Give Up" rang out, Li Yinfei once again moved the cadets. This song was very sonorous and powerful. Li Yinfei sang it passionately, as if trying to tell the cadets that the invasion of enemy nations would not break the iron bones of the Huaxians. Incited by the song, everyone present stood up one after another. All the cadets clenched their fists in excitement, loudly singing along with the "Never Give Up" part of the chorus.
Right then, no matter how slow Ling Lan was, she knew that this Li Yinfei must be someone from the military. Otherwise, it would be impossible for her to sing two songs in a row to cater so closely to this war between the military academies. The military had indeed schemed well. Li Yinfei's arrival and these two songs would definitely push the hatred of the military academy students towards the invaders to the extreme. It was not hard to imagine that all the military academy students here would definitely become the backbone of the counterattack against these invaders in the future.
Right at the last moment, when the song reached its most impassioned, Li Yinfei abruptly tore off her veil to reveal her peerless face... all the cadets who had still been singing "Never Give Up" abruptly fell silent. In that instant, they were thoroughly awed by Li Yinfei's peerless beauty.
This was Li Yinfei. Not only did she have a voice that shook people's hearts, she also had a peerless face that could charm the entire nation!
Li Yinfei's real face shocked everyone present. Qiao Ting, who had been calm and collected in the second row, saw Li Yinfei's real face and his heart began to thump. He could not suppress the desire in his heart. "This is a woman worthy of me. I must have her!"
Li Yinfei's peerless beauty also stunned Ling Lan. As a girl, Ling Lan was also instantly attracted by Li Yinfei's appearance. However, Ling Lan was a girl after all. Furthermore, she had been tortured by Instructor Number Five in the learning space in all sorts of perverted ways, so her heart had become firm and cold. She would not be easily bewitched.
After calming down, Ling Lan once again looked at Li Yinfei's devastatingly beautiful face. However, she found that that face gave her an uncomfortable feeling. Although it was extremely beautiful, extremely alluring, unparalleled in this world, Ling Lan just felt that it was a little strange. It lacked that natural smoothness it should have. What was going on?
Ling Lan's brow furrowed slightly. Just as she was feeling puzzled, Li Lanfeng, who was sitting beside her, actually began to tremble uncontrollably. Not only that, his hands on his knees were also trembling uncontrollably...
Ling Lan's heart skipped a beat. She could not help but think back to the time when Li Lanfeng had been sitting in the co-pilot seat of her mecha during the air invasion. Could it be that something had happened to the leopard's worrisome physique again?
Worried, Ling Lan could not help but reach out her right hand to press on Li Lanfeng's trembling hands. This action caused Li Lanfeng's body to jerk violently. He jerked his head back to look at Ling Lan. His crimson eyes were actually filled with despair and pain, and even a trace of madness. That gaze was as if he had been abandoned by the entire world...
"Leopard, are you okay?" Ling Lan sensed that something was wrong with Li Lanfeng, and asked with a serious expression.
Ling Lan's question seemed to have saved Li Lanfeng, who was immersed in his own world. His gaze quickly cleared up. Having regained his senses, Li Lanfeng grabbed Ling Lan's right hand. His grip was very tight, as if he was clutching at a life-saving straw, unwilling to let go. That strength actually caused Ling Lan to feel a trace of pain.
Ling Lan had always hated skin to skin contact with others. Just as she was considering whether to shake off Li Lanfeng's large hand, she felt that Li Lanfeng's palm was actually covered in sweat. She thought of the crazed and despairing look in Li Lanfeng's eyes just now, and her heart could not help but soften.
Thinking back to her current identity as a male, it was very normal for her to be grabbed by a male companion. Plus, Li Lanfeng really needed a companion's comfort... fine, she would do a good deed that day and offer up her right hand to comfort the other. It was not like her hand would lose a piece of flesh because of this. Ling Lan thought to herself in a very Ah Q manner.
Just like that, Ling Lan forced herself to ignore Li Lanfeng's grip on her hand. She continued to look expressionlessly at the stage, concentrating on studying the problem she had just discovered... er, that Li Yinfei. She was so unnaturally beautiful. Was there really no problem with that?
Perhaps Ling Lan's attention was all on Li Lanfeng, but at the very edge, Li Shiyu, who had originally been attracted by Li Yinfei's voice, was now incomparably frightened. This fear was definitely not because of the other's peerless beauty, but rather, it was as if he had seen the devil...
With a "whoosh", the uncontrollably Li Shiyu stood up abruptly, startling Chang Xinyuan, who had also been mesmerized by Li Yinfei's appearance. Chang Xinyuan saw Li Shiyu's frightened expression and immediately knew that something was wrong. Very quickly, Chang Xinyuan threw Li Yinfei's appearance to the back of his mind and asked with concern, "Shiyu, what happened?"
Li Shiyu's right hand suddenly covered his mouth, as if he was afraid that he would scream. With great difficulty, he calmed himself down, then put down his right hand and hurriedly replied, "Xinyuan, I suddenly remembered that I have something important to do. I have to leave immediately. Wait a moment, please help me ask for leave from the captain."
Li Shiyu's serious expression made Chang Xinyuan understand that the other definitely had something important to say. He hurriedly nodded, indicating that he would pass on the message. Meanwhile, Li Shiyu no longer had the patience to stay at the concert venue and hurriedly ran out of the stadium.
Once outside the stadium, a fresh breeze blew in, instantly clearing Li Shiyu's stunned mind. Everyone in the military academy was focused on Li Yinfei's concert — if they were not watching the concert live, they were logging into the virtual world in their own dormitories to watch the live broadcast. At this time, there was not a single person outside the stadium.
Li Shiyu quickly walked to a place surrounded by trees and absolute silence. He impatiently pressed a string of numbers on his communicator. In these four years, he had never taken the initiative to contact that number, but it had always been hidden deep in his heart, never forgotten.
"Yu 'er, who would have thought that there would be a time when you would take the initiative to contact me? Have you thought things through and prepared to accept your grandfather's arrangements to become the first heir of the Li family?" On the virtual screen of the communicator, a dignified old man suddenly appeared. His initially stern face now carried a trace of a smile — it looked like Li Shiyu taking the initiative to contact him had made him very happy.
However, Li Shiyu could not understand the old man's thoughts. Seeing the other, he shouted angrily, "Grandpa, what's going on with that Li Yinfei?"
"Li Yinfei?" The old man's initially smiling expression instantly turned cold. "You've seen her?" As if suddenly remembering something, a trace of understanding appeared on the old man's face. "That's right. She's holding a concert at the First Men's Military Academy right now. It's very normal for you to see her."
"Who exactly is she?" Li Shiyu gritted his teeth and forced the words out through gritted teeth.
The old man replied calmly, "A branch descendant of the Li family. According to seniority, she's your cousin."
"What I'm asking is, how did that face come about?" The old man's indifference made Li Shiyu unable to control his emotions any longer. He could not help but growl.
This question caused the old man's expression to turn even colder. "Is this the attitude you should have towards your grandfather?"
Li Shiyu abruptly closed his eyes and wiped his face harshly. Then, he took a deep breath and suppressed the rage in his heart. When he opened his eyes again, his eyes were no longer filled with the anger from before, becoming much calmer. "I'm sorry, Grandpa. I went overboard just now. But I beg you to tell me, what's going on with Li Yinfei's face? "
Li Shiyu's performance caused the old man's attitude to soften considerably. He replied calmly, "Is there something wrong with that face?" As if not understanding Li Shiyu's meaning.
"Grandpa!" Li Shiyu called out once more. "You know... you know..." In a place where the old man could not see, Li Shiyu's lowered left hand had already clenched into a fist. Perhaps he had used too much force, for the veins on the back of his hand were bulging. It was clear to see that Li Shiyu's anger was soaring to the heavens, but because the other party was his grandfather, he had no choice but to suppress it.
"Know what?" The old man actually asked Li Shiyu in return. Just as Li Shiyu's patience was about to break and he was about to explode, the old man continued, "Are you trying to say that Li Yinfei looks exactly like your eldest cousin brother, Li Mulan?"
This sentence caused Li Shiyu to instantly calm down. "I want to know why you did this."
"Why are you asking me?" The old man's expression returned to its normal calmness.
"Without your approval, Li Yinfei would never appear in the eyes of the public, much less become a singer. In order to protect the status and dignity of the head of the family and the successor, the Li family doesn't allow people with similar looks to appear in the world." Li Shiyu understood the Li family too well. Li Yinfei looked so much like his eldest cousin brother, she shouldn't exist in the first place. Even if she did, she would have to change her face. This was out of respect for the head of the family and the successor.
"Li Mulan isn't the head of the family yet." The old man was silent for a few seconds before replying.
"But eldest cousin brother is the first successor," Li Shiyu growled again. Li Shiyu roared again. Just because he couldn't become a strong cultivator, he could trample on his eldest cousin brother's dignity? For the first time, Li Shiyu hated the entire Li family. He even wanted to kill Li Yinfei who looked like his eldest cousin brother …
"Don't do anything stupid. Li Yinfei's matter was agreed upon by the elders. I can't stop it." The old man seemed to have sensed Li Shiyu's murderous intent so he instantly said sternly.
"You can't do anything?" Li Shiyu laughed mockingly. If his grandfather really wanted to reject it, how could there be no way? He knew his grandfather's methods too well.
