When Ye Xu heard that he had temporarily escaped death, he immediately got up from the sofa. Seeing Ling Lan glancing at him coldly, he quickly handed over the memory card in his hand and said flatteringly, "Boss, this is the name list of the new members who applied to join our mecha clan this year. Please take a look."
Ling Lan looked at Ye Xu speechlessly. Wasn't this Wu Jiong's problem? Why did he give it to her?
It turned out that Ye Xu was scared silly by Ling Lan's cold glare and reflexively handed over the memory card. The moment he said this, his face was filled with frustration. 'Why did I make a mistake again?'
Wu Jiong held his forehead helplessly. Recently, whenever Ye Xu saw Boss, he would panic. He had never been so weak before. Seeing that Ye Xu's hair was already soaked in sweat, Wu Jiong couldn't help but say, "Boss, you're the regiment commander of our Lingtian Mecha Clan. You should at least care about our future members."
Then, he laughed and scolded Ye Xu, "Ye Xu, it's fine. You can scram now."
To Ye Xu, this was a lifesaver. He didn't care whether Ling Lan wanted to see it or not. He immediately placed the memory card on the coffee table in front of Ling Lan and gave Wu Jiong a grateful look. Then, he ran away as if there was a ghost chasing after him.
In the next second, he was at the door and saw his team members who were peeking in to see what was going on inside. Ye Xu glared at them angrily. This bunch of disloyal people. In the end, they still let him face Boss alone.
"Vice-captain, is Boss here?" One of the team members saw that Ye Xu's expression was a little ugly and quickly asked in a small voice.
Ye Xu's expression instantly tensed up. He reflexively looked inside and didn't see Boss's cold and threatening face. He instantly let out a sigh of relief. However, he didn't want to stay in this dangerous area so he quickly said, "Hurry up and run."
This was already the catchphrase of the Lingtian Mecha Clan members. When they met with danger, they would all say this. It could be considered Lingtian's specialty.
Once the team members heard this, there was nothing they didn't understand. Without thinking, they followed Ye Xu and ran away.
Hearing the commotion outside the door, Ling Lan was speechless. She asked unhappily, "Am I that scary?"
I just don't have a smile, right? However, he scolded her and did not hit her. No matter what, he was still a good regiment commander who empathized with his subordinates. Was there a need for him to be so afraid of her?
This question caused Wu Jiong's expression to stiffen. His gaze drifted as he said, "Actually … that … how do I put it …"
"You don't have to say anymore. I know!" Ling Lan said coldly. Didn't this expression mean that she was really scary? She felt that her face, which was as beautiful as a flower and as delicate as jade, was wasted.
Ling Lan gloomily picked up the memory card on the coffee table and used the wireless transmission function to display all the information inside on the big screen on the coffee table.
"That's a lot," Ling Lan was a little surprised as she looked at the densely packed names and related information. Wasn't this a little too much?
"I heard from the receptionist that a large number of people who didn't meet the minimum requirements have been removed," Wu Jiong had already arrived beside Ling Lan and sat down on the sofa closest to her.
"With these people, there should be at least four to five hundred people." The densely packed words made Ling Lan feel a little dizzy.
Wu Jiong tapped on the screen and said, "It will be clearer if you look at it this way." Very quickly, the image changed. The originally densely packed documents were now categorized into a few large categories. It instantly became clearer.
"Most Potential (Team Leader Level) List." Ling Lan saw the category at the top and clicked on it curiously.
Immediately, about 20 names appeared. The first name was very familiar to Ling Lan — Ling Yi.
Wu Jiong saw it too. He said in surprise, "This freshman's surname is also Ling?" He clicked on Ling Yi's file and saw a cold-looking youth appear on the big screen. Beside him was a detailed file about him.
"Ling Yi, commoner, from Pu Yi Scout Academy (third-level planet Planet Pu Zhe). Physical skills: Qi-Jin Primary Level. Mecha World Mecha Piloting Level: Advanced!" Wu Jiong cried out. They had only managed to reach the advanced level because of Zilong and the others' self-torture. Yet, this Ling Yi, a commoner from third-level planet Planet Pu Zhe, had actually reached this level. Was his talent too monstrous, or had he also been tortured to reach this level like them?
Ling Yi … Ling Lan was wondering why this name felt familiar. Could it be because his surname was Ling?
With a 'pa', two fragmented images suddenly appeared in her mindspace.
"I want to inherit my father's position. I want to become Young Master Lan's most trusted loyalist," said the five-year-old Ling Yi with a determined expression.
"Uncle Yu, I'll leave Young Master Lan to you for now. When I become stronger, I'll come back to take over your position." Ling Yi bowed respectfully to Ling Lan and then left the Ling family …
When the images disappeared, Ling Lan heard Little Four's smug voice. "Boss, it's this Ling Yi."
Ling Lan smiled. This Little Four was really naughty. She looked at the cold youth in the image again and sighed internally. Who would have thought that the child from back then had already grown to this level? No wonder his father, Ling Hua, was willing to betray the Ling family for his child's future.
"Could it be that everyone with the surname Ling is monstrous?" Wu Jiong muttered as he looked at Ling Lan. He saw that Ling Lan was thinking about something and his heart skipped a beat. He asked, "Boss, you know him?"
Ling Lan nodded and said, "Yes, he's considered a member of my family."
Considered a member of my family? Could he be an illegitimate child? Wu Jiong thought of this and immediately shook his head. How could General Ling Xiao do something like this? He was thinking too much. He should be a disciple from a side branch of the family. Wu Jiong felt that he had guessed the truth.
"Then during the assessment?" Wu Jiong asked carefully.
Ling Lan glanced at Wu Jiong, making his little heart tremble. Without waiting for Ling Lan's reply, he said, "Boss, I understand."
In short, this Ling Yi would be treated as a normal person and would be decided based on his performance. At this moment, he couldn't help but laugh. How could he have thought that Boss would be biased? He must have been influenced by that idiot Ye Xu.
Ling Lan was no longer interested in looking at the others. She stood up and said to Wu Jiong, "Go ahead with your work. I'll leave first. Also, no matter how busy you are, you have to report to me two days a week and inform Li Yingjie. "
Wu Jiong's face fell. How could he have thought that training with Zilong and the others would definitely be a good thing? But how could he dare to say no to Ling Lan's cold face? He could only nod painfully to show that he understood. Luckily, he wasn't the only one suffering. Li Yingjie was also with him. Wu Jiong felt a lot more comforted.
After walking out of Wu Jiong's office, Ling Lan was currently discussing with Little Four. "Little Four, do you think Ling Yi is trustworthy?"
"So far, no problem," Little Four replied. "In fact, ever since Ling Yi left the Ling family, I've been monitoring him."
Ling Lan was stunned. "Why are you monitoring him?"
"To see if those people who want to hurt you will still look for him and try to find some clues from him," Little Four said regretfully. "Unfortunately, they didn't. Maybe your people hid them too well and they couldn't find them. "
"Maybe they felt that such a young child has no value." Ling Lan didn't think that they couldn't find him if they wanted to. Maybe they thought that a five-year-old child who was sent far away could do anything. Bribing him would be useless.
"Yes, Boss, you're right. However, with Ling Yi's current ability, he will be found out sooner or later. "Little Four also thought that Ling Yi was very talented. Given time, his future was limitless.
"Isn't that good? Whether Ling Yi can be used or not depends on what he chooses in the future. " When Ling Yi showed his talent, the other party would definitely find him. Although she had wiped away all traces of Ling Hua's betrayal, the other party might still have evidence of Ling Hua betraying the Ling family.
"I don't understand why you want to keep him." Little Four was very conflicted. Ling Yi might betray the Ling family again. Back then, they could either eliminate him completely or cut off Ling Hua's relationship with the Ling family. Wouldn't there be no end of trouble if they were to be separated like this?
"Didn't I say? He's a good chess piece. "Ling Lan's gaze was cold and distant. Her and her father Ling Xiao's enemies were too well-hidden. After her father returned, he tried his best to investigate but still couldn't find anything. Although he knew that the other party must have a high position and was at the top of the pyramid of power, he couldn't find out who that person was.
"No matter whether Ling Yi is loyal to me or not, he is still a trap that I set for the other party." Ling Lan's eyes flashed coldly. Back then, she might have been soft-hearted, but after going through the cruel blood training in the learning space, she was able to be ruthless.
"What trap?" Little Four asked curiously.
Ling Lan didn't answer him. In the next second, Little Four was locked in a small black room. Little Four's face was full of tears. He just asked a question out of curiosity. Did she have to treat him so coldly?
The Ling Lan Mecha Clan's first batch of freshmen was 100 people. Ling Yi's team of six was in the first batch. This made the Ling Lan Mecha Clan very happy. Logically speaking, the first batch of freshmen was the most promising.
This was the first time Ling Yi's team came to the headquarters of the Lingtian Mecha Clan. They were stunned by the majestic and huge building in front of them.
"Wow, this is the headquarters of the number one faction. It's so big and tall." Tao Xiaotao's mouth was wide open. He couldn't close it no matter how hard he tried.
Ling Yi was also stunned. He took a deep breath. His eyes were full of respect. As expected, Young Master Lan was the strongest.
The few of them walked into the headquarters with light steps. Under the guidance of a staff member, they went to the second basement level. The first basement level was a space for members to relax and play. The second basement level was a huge training field.
Once they entered the training field, Ling Yi and the others could understand why this place was the headquarters of the number one faction. Just the training field alone was enough to prove this point. It was big enough to accommodate thousands of people.
They came to the center of the training field. There was a large arena. Just this arena alone could accommodate 200 to 300 people. This large arena was for members of the clan to compete. They could fight one-on-one or in groups. At this moment, this large arena was where they would be tested.
