"Ah … Captain, you're actually a loyalist." Everyone exclaimed. Some of them came from large families, so they understood what loyalists meant. They lived and died for their masters. Their lives were filled with darkness. There was no such thing as light.
"Aren't loyalists only allowed to stay in the family and not be allowed to go to military school?" Yi Tiange asked the question everyone was wondering about.
"That's because I received Young Master Lan's permission to go to military school." Ling Yi's cold face showed a grateful smile. It made his entire person become much warmer.
"Permission? Did your Young Master Lan help you ask the family head for mercy? " Yi Tiange couldn't help but frown. He knew how important loyalists were to a family. They were the most secretive existence in a family. Most families didn't allow loyalists to interact with the outside world. They were afraid that they would betray them. If a family head casually agreed to his child's request and ignored the family's rules, then the family wouldn't be far from extinction.
"No, Young Master Lan is the family head of the Ling family." Ling Yi's answer shocked everyone. Ling Yi came from the Scout Academy. He didn't become a family head halfway. This meant that Ling Yi was allowed to become a family head before he was six years old. Then, Ling Lan could only be the family head at this time or even earlier. Did this mean that Ling Lan was already the head of a family clan when she was six or seven years old? She was probably the youngest family head at this age.
It should be known that when choosing a family head, the direct descendant had to be at least 30 years old. If the direct descendant didn't meet this requirement, then the family head would be chosen from the branch family closest to the direct descendant. When the direct descendant reached 30 years old, then the family head would be chosen again. This ensured that the family head wouldn't be deceived and controlled by servants because of his young age. This would cause a disaster for the family and threaten the family's legacy.
"That, isn't it a puppet?" Yi Tiange worriedly gestured.
Ling Yi glared at him angrily. "Of course not. Young Master Lan is the rightful family head. He has been very strong since he was young. No one dares to go against his orders."
Yi Tiange heard this and looked at Ling Yi seriously. Then, he patted Ling Yi's shoulder and said, "Ling Yi, now, I can finally rest assured that I'll hand over my flesh to you. To be able to respect a young family head so much and not think about fighting for power, everyone in your family is worthy of trust."
"Go to hell!" Ling Yi Tiange's words Yi Tiange was speechless. The Ling of course, the Ling... or else, how could they nurture General Ling General Ling Xiao?
Ling Yi thought proudly. However, he knew that he couldn't say anything about Ling Xiao. All these years, when Ling Qin had contacted him, he had always reminded him that in order to protect Young Master Lan's safety, he couldn't let anyone know that Young Master Lan was Ling Xiao's son.
Ling Ling 'Ling's Ling. Ling' Ling 'Ling.... He was Young Master Lan's loyalist. Even if he let his brother down, he had to keep this secret.
"However, a loyalist can't be a loyalist anymore. Can you still return to his side?" Yi Tiange finally asked a cruel question. He didn't believe that Ling Yi didn't know.
Ling Yi hesitated for a moment, but he immediately became determined. "Young Master Lan said that when I become stronger, he will let me come back." He remembered the promise he made that year. He said that he would take over Uncle Yu's position and become the leader of Young Master Lan's loyalists. He would be Young Master Lan's most loyal loyalist. He meant what he said! Ling Yi clenched his fists even tighter. It seemed that this would increase his confidence.
Yi Tiange sighed in his heart. He, Rong Ziruo, and Yan Wuyou looked at each other. They all understood. Ling Yi still dreamed of returning to Young Master Lan's side, but they didn't say anything to discourage him.
Loyalists weren't allowed to be exposed. They weren't allowed to contact the outside world. They weren't allowed to be like Ling Yi, who had a battle team, friends, or companions. They only lived for their master. Ling Yi's current situation didn't meet the minimum requirements to be a loyalist. Yi Tiange felt that the young Ling Yi must have been deceived by his Young Master Lan.
Ling Yi gradually calmed down and returned to being the cold young man he was at the start. He looked at his companions who had always been by his side. His heart was instantly filled with courage and confidence. He shouted loudly, "Let's go and register."
Ling Yi was the first to walk towards the hover train station closest to them. Yi Tiange and the others looked at each other with smiles on their faces. Ling Yi, who was full of enthusiasm, was their leader. They were in a good mood as they followed him.
"Young Master Lan, I, Ling Yi, am here!"
In the headquarters of the number one faction, the Lingtian Mecha Clan, Ye Xu walked into the lobby with a few members. Ye Xu walked in a few steps and felt that the lobby today was different from usual. Before he could think about it, he heard someone behind him shout, "Senior Ye, please wait."
Ye Xu turned his head to look. It was a second-year junior at the reception desk in the lobby. He quickly walked towards Ye Xu with a face full of surprise.
"What's the matter?" Ye Xu asked curiously.
The second-year junior said embarrassedly, "Senior Ye, are you going to Commander Wu's place?"
"Yes." Ye Xu either didn't come to the headquarters or went to the headquarters to discuss the matters of the battle clan with his team leader. Ever since Wu Jiong took charge of everything in the headquarters, the training plans of the battle clan fell on Ye Xu as the vice-captain. This made Ye Xu extremely busy.
"Senior Ye, please help me pass this message to Commander Wu." The other party suddenly bowed 90 degrees and respectfully held up a small memory card.
Ye Xu was shocked by the other party's respectful posture. He subconsciously took a step back and said, "Stand up straight and talk properly. Why are you doing this?" Then, he pointed at the object in the other party's hand and asked, "Also, what's inside?"
"This is the name list of the new students who applied to join us this year. Senior Ye, please pass it to Commander Wu." The second-year junior didn't stand up. Instead, he lowered his head even more.
"I'll pass it to you on the way. That's no problem. However, why are you so polite? What happened?" Ye Xu saw that the other party's head was about to hit the floor and couldn't bear it. Thus, he took the memory card and asked in confusion.
Seeing that Ye Xu took it, the second-year junior let out a sigh of relief. He looked as if he had survived a disaster. When he heard Ye Xu's question, he looked left and right. Then, he approached Ye Xu and said in a low voice, "Today, Boss came." After saying that, he pointed up, indicating that Boss was with Commander Wu.
Once upon a time, the members of the battle clan no longer called Ling Lan 'Commander' but 'Boss'.
Hearing this, Ye Xu took a deep breath. He subconsciously looked at the memory card in his hand. Just as he was about to stuff it back into the other party's hand …
"Where is he?" Ye Xu looked in front of him in shock. The second-year junior who was originally standing there respectfully had already disappeared. Ye Xu actually didn't notice when he had slipped away.
Ye Xu subconsciously looked for the other people but found that the lobby, which was supposed to be bustling with activity, was now completely empty. No wonder when he entered the lobby just now, he felt that something was wrong. It was because it was too quiet.
"This bunch of brats. Why didn't I see them run so fast during training? Now, they run away faster than anyone else, "Ye Xu said angrily as he pinched the memory card.
Ye Xu turned his head to look at the team members behind him. When the team members met his gaze, they suddenly took a big step back. One of them even hugged his stomach and said with a pained expression, "Vice-captain, my stomach hurts. I need to go to the washroom." He didn't want to go see Boss.
Ye Xu grabbed him and warned the other team members who were about to make a move with his gaze. "If anyone dares to slip away at this time, I will definitely ask Boss to train alone for a week."
This threat was too scary. It made the team members stop in their tracks. They wailed and one of them begged, "Vice-captain, let us go. Even if we go, we won't be able to help you …"
"Yes, yes. Vice-captain, please let us go."
"You want me to face Boss alone? No way. If I die, I will die together." Ye Xu didn't give in at all. He felt that it was good to have a few more people to share the pressure from Boss. Also, even if it didn't work, having someone to suffer with him would make him feel better.
Just like that, Ye Xu, who didn't want to suffer alone, mercilessly dragged his team members into the elevator.
When they arrived at the door of Wu Jiong's office, the team members had already shrunk to the back and pushed Ye Xu forward. If possible, they really didn't want to come here.
Ye Xu hesitated for a long time, but in the end, he still gritted his teeth and pressed the doorbell beside the door frame. The sooner he died, the sooner he could be reincarnated.
"Come in!" Wu Jiong's voice came from the small speaker on the doorbell. Following this sound, the door suddenly moved to the side and opened.
Ye Xu took a deep breath and stepped through the door, unafraid of death.
Wu Jiong's office was very big. The first thing that came into view was the living room. A circle of sofas were placed around a large coffee table. The glass surface of the coffee table was actually a large screen. When everyone was discussing something and needed to enter the virtual world to look for information or watch some videos, they would turn it on and use it. Normally, the large coffee table really did function as a coffee table to place tea and such.
At the back of the living room was Wu Jiong's large office desk. At this moment, Wu Jiong wasn't sitting behind the desk. Instead, he was sitting on a sofa facing the door. When he saw Ye Xu enter, he smiled. "Ye Xu, you're here?"
Ye Xu quickly scanned the room and didn't see Ling Lan's figure. He instantly let out a sigh of relief. "So Boss isn't here."
Wu Jiong raised his eyebrows. "You're looking for Boss?"
Ye Xu shook his head vigorously. "No, no, I just heard from the people below that Boss is here. He's with you." Without any pressure, Ye Xu began to make wild guesses. "Could it be that Boss went to his commander's office? Or went to the quiet room to meditate? Or maybe he went to torture Zilong and the others … "
Wu Jiong's face revealed a trace of confusion. He quickly interrupted Ye Xu and asked, "If you're not looking for Boss, then what are you doing here?"
Ye Xu raised the memory card in his hand and grumbled, "It's all because of those brats below. They thought that Boss was with you, so they stuffed this list of new recruits into my hands. Before I could react, they all slipped away. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come up to look for you at this time. They're afraid of Boss, but so am I. "
As Ye Xu spoke, he lowered his head and began to flip through the memory card in his hand. He wanted to know what outstanding new recruits this year were worthy of their attention.
"What are you afraid of?" A cold voice suddenly rang out.
Ye Xu, who was looking through the information, thought that Wu Jiong was asking him. He raised his head in shock and said, "Huh? Captain, you must be joking. Don't say you're not afraid. I don't believe it. Boss's cold gaze is like the gaze of death. It can freeze you to death. Also, Boss's aura is so domineering that it makes people suffocate. Being with Boss is actually no different from fighting against the Grim Reaper. "Ye Xu patted his chest with a look of lingering fear." I still don't want to die young. "
Wu Jiong's smile became more and more bitter. His gaze towards Ye Xu also became more and more sympathetic. Was this kid really so slow? Even if he wanted to die, he wouldn't die like this.
"Ye Xu, looks like you haven't trained enough. I don't see Zilong and the others feel uncomfortable being with me." The cold voice rang out again.
Ye Xu's expression changed drastically. His entire face fell. He glanced at Wu Jiong, clearly complaining: Captain, you're setting me up!
Wu Jiong shrugged and mouthed, "Idiot!" He couldn't even recognize Boss's voice. If he wasn't an idiot, then what was?
Ye Xu bitterly turned his head to look in the direction of the voice. He saw Ling Lan sitting on the sofa with her back to the door. Her arms were crossed in front of her chest, and she was looking at him coldly.
"Boss, Boss, I'm so happy to see you." Ye Xu rushed over and made a gesture of hugging Ling Lan.
Ling Lan raised her right leg and kicked Ye Xu's chest. "Don't give me that. Anyway, in order to train your guts, next week, you'll train with me for seven days. If you still can't do it, then we'll continue training until your guts are trained."
"No, Boss!" Ye Xu wailed. He turned his head to look at Wu Jiong, his eyes begging for help!
Wu Jiong found it funny. He immediately helped his vice-captain out of the predicament. "Boss, Ye Xu's guts need to be trained, but the mecha clan still needs him as a laborer. Aren't there new recruits coming in? We're lacking an examiner. Once we're done with this, I'll send him over to you so you can train him well."
Captain, you're really my good captain! Ye Xu was moved to tears. Joining Wu Jiong's battle team back then was a wise decision. As long as he could get through this, with Boss being so busy, as time passed, he would naturally be able to escape this calamity.
Ling Lan huffed coldly. She exerted force with her right leg and kicked Ye Xu onto the sofa. "Since your captain says so, I'll let you off for now."
Ling Lan looked at Wu Jiong and continued, "Since you're lacking an examiner, I'll let Zilong and the others come over to help you."
Wu Jiong's eyes lit up. "That's great. With Zilong and the others joining us, we'll be able to handle the assessment for the new recruits this time."
Although he had not received the detailed application list, Wu Jiong had already found out from the application office that close to half of this year's new recruits had applied to join the Lingtian Mecha Clan. It could be seen that Ling Lan had led the First Men's Military Academy to glory in the Grand Mecha Tournament last year, creating a huge impact among the new recruits. Otherwise, a new mecha clan that had only been established for two years would not be able to attract so many new recruits.
