The other party's mindscape was filled with fog. Ling Lan couldn't determine where the main consciousness was at that moment. However, Ling Lan wasn't anxious. She controlled her spiritual power to go deeper into the consciousness bit by bit. This seemingly simple action made many beads of sweat appear on Ling Lan's forehead. It was obvious that this action was not that simple.
After probing for more than ten minutes, Ling Lan finally saw the faint silhouette of a person in a corner. Ling Lan was happy. She quickly controlled her spiritual power to go closer.
The figure seemed to feel something and looked up. It was different from the masked Li Lanfeng that Ling Lan saw before. The main consciousness was the beautiful "Li Yinfei" face of Li Lanfeng.
Li Lanfeng saw that the person was Ling Lan and his face turned pale. His first reaction was to run.
"Li Lanfeng, if you dare to move, I'll kill you." Li Lanfeng's action angered Ling Lan. She immediately threatened him.
Li Lanfeng didn't dare to move. He knew Ling Lan well. He knew that this threat wasn't just for show. Although he was embarrassed to see Ling Lan, he didn't want to die in Ling Lan's hands.
"Hehe, very obedient." Ling Lan walked in front of Li Lanfeng with a cold face. She reached out and pinched Li Lanfeng's beautiful face. She wanted to feel it … Cough, cough. Our Lord Ling Lan wasn't a semi. She pinched hard. She wanted to use the pain to tell Li Lanfeng that running away wasn't a good idea.
"Ling Lan … Ling Lan …" Li Lanfeng, who was always confident, was so nervous that he stuttered.
"Hmm?" Ling Lan shot him a cold glance, which meant that she was very angry right now and had deprived him of the right to call her by her name.
As expected of the person who understood Ling Lan the most, Li Lanfeng understood the meaning behind Ling Lan's gaze. He immediately lowered his head and shouted, "Regiment Commander!"
"Tell me, what are you doing hiding here?" Ling Lan looked at the main consciousness that was completely awake and asked in annoyance.
"Because you're coming." Ever since Li Lanfeng heard from Li Shiyu that afternoon that Ling Lan was coming, he panicked. He was worried all the way until night fell. Even when he fell asleep, he couldn't escape from this in his dreams. He wouldn't tell Ling Lan that he was here because in his dreams, after Ling Lan found out about his lies, she used a tone that made it clear that their friendship was over. He couldn't accept this result, so he tried again and again to overturn the dream. Unfortunately, he didn't succeed, so he was trapped here.
"It seems that you also know that this lie is unforgivable." Ling Lan laughed coldly. "But can running away solve the problem? Li Lanfeng! "
Ling Lan's right hand suddenly grabbed Li Lanfeng's lowered chin. She looked straight at Li Lanfeng. The strong pressure made Li Lanfeng not dare to struggle. Ling Lan said sternly, "I don't mind what secrets my comrades have because this is your private matter. I have no interest in knowing. But what I hate the most are those who don't take the initiative to think of a solution after something happens. Instead, they are so cowardly that they choose to run away. I — don't — hope — that — you — are that kind of person! "
Li Lanfeng closed his eyes in shame. He struggled violently and instantly broke free from Ling Lan's right hand. He covered his face and said, "I don't want to either, but I'm afraid. I'm afraid that you won't forgive me. I'm afraid that you will give up on me. I'm afraid that you will cut off our friendship …"
"But, I didn't really want to lie to you. Ling Lan, forgive me, forgive me …"
Li Lanfeng's tears fell uncontrollably. It wasn't easy for him to bear the Phoenix Thrall Fate alone. He hated his face and didn't want people to look at him differently. If it was possible, he really wanted to completely destroy that face. But he'd promised that he would absolutely not touch that face before he succeeded in defying the heavens and changing his fate. Otherwise, he would lose all the resources of the Li Clan …
In the end, he wasn't ruthless enough. He wasn't determined enough. If he had even a little bit of the ruthlessness that Ling Lan had towards him, perhaps, he wouldn't have to live such a lowly, dark, and tiring life.
"Forgive? Why do you want me to forgive you? " Ling Lan's cold voice rang beside Li Lanfeng's ear. Li Lanfeng opened his eyes abruptly. He didn't know when he actually woke up. His entire body was leaning against Ling Lan's chest.
Although Ling Lan's body was cold, for some reason, the arms that hugged his body and the chest that was not very strong made Li Lanfeng feel warm and at ease.
"What did you lie to me about? Li Lanfeng, tell me, what do you want me to forgive you about? "Ling Lan leaned against his ear and asked coldly.
The warm breath passed through his ears and numbed his entire body. His cheeks flushed red uncontrollably.
"I didn't use my real face to befriend you. Although I didn't mean to lie, the lie was already there. I'm really sorry." Li Lanfeng was still a calm person. Although his current position made Li Lanfeng slightly uncomfortable, he quickly controlled his emotions and returned to his usual calm self. Li Lanfeng was once again the calm Li Lanfeng.
"I said before that I don't care what your secret is. If this face is your secret, I don't care either. So, you didn't do anything wrong to me. You didn't lie to me. You don't have to say the words' forgive 'to me. "Ling Lan told Li Lanfeng the truth.
When they were in the virtual mecha world, they didn't use their real faces to befriend each other. However, Ling Lan knew that their relationship was so sincere that there were no impurities in it. Since they didn't use their real faces to befriend each other, how could she be angry over such a small matter? She might even think that he lied to her. Furthermore, she also hid her secret and didn't tell anyone about it. Since she couldn't do it herself, she wouldn't ask her friends to do it too.
Li Lanfeng's eyes lit up when he heard Ling Lan's words. "Thank you, Ling Lan."
"You don't have to thank me. However, I'm curious about your relationship with Li Shiyu." Since Li Shiyu stayed in the Li family's residence on Planet Azure and Li Lanfeng also stayed in the Li family's residence, then Li Lanfeng definitely wasn't just a branch descendant of the Li family on Planet Azure.
Li Lanfeng was always worried that Ling Lan would give up on their friendship because of his lies. Now that he received a definite answer from Ling Lan, he didn't have any more worries. He was in the mood to tell Ling Lan everything about him, including his real identity as the first successor of the Li family, Ling Lan. However, Li Lanfeng still didn't tell her about the Phoenix Thrall Fate. It wasn't that he didn't want to say it but he didn't know how to say it. He was afraid that if he said it, Ling Lan would look down on him … anyone could look down on him but only Ling Lan couldn't!
Li Lanfeng knew that he was like a person who was about to drown. He grabbed onto the only life-saving straw and refused to let go. Ling Lan was his only friend in this life. He couldn't accept the fact that the person he trusted and recognized looked down on him. This would make him break down.
Although he knew that the possibility of this happening was very low and Ling Lan wasn't such a person, he still swallowed the words that were at the tip of his tongue.
Li Lanfeng said in a low voice. Ling Lan listened quietly. The two of them maintained their initial position. Neither of them wanted to change it and neither of them would change it. Ling Lan was still holding Li Lanfeng's hands. She was using the Qi exercises to nourish his body. Li Lanfeng was greedy for Ling Lan's cold but warm aura. He enjoyed Ling Lan's care and love. This made him feel that he wasn't fighting alone. He had a strong companion supporting him from behind.
When Li Lanfeng finished speaking, the entire bedroom fell silent again.
"Li Mulan! Are you satisfied with my forgiveness? "After a moment of silence, Ling Lan finally spoke. She sounded even colder than before.
Was she angry? Li Lanfeng was shocked. His body, which was originally half leaning in Ling Lan's arms, suddenly froze.
"Then what else do you want?" Li Lanfeng was a little confused. What did Rabbit mean by this? Didn't he say that he didn't care at all? Could it be that he was lying?
"What else do you want?" A cold light flashed in Ling Lan's eyes. If she wasn't angry at the start, she was really angry now. "Li Lanfeng, when you were Li Lanfeng, I didn't have any opinions about you. But when you were Li Mulan, I had a lot of opinions about you."
"Why?" Li Lanfeng asked in astonishment. Weren't these two people both him?
Ling Lan flipped over and pinned Li Lanfeng to the bed with one hand. She stared at him with a murderous look in her eyes. "Because Li Mulan let someone down."
Li Lanfeng was a friend she valued but Li Shiyu was also a member she cared about. Li Lanfeng didn't let down the other members of Lingtian. He only let down his cousin Li Shiyu.
Ling Lan's words made Li Lanfeng fall silent. After a long time, he said, "You're right. I did let Shiyu down." Li Lanfeng had a pained expression on his face. No one could bear to scold him for having such an expression on his beautiful face. However, none of this could shake Ling Lan's heart. Ling Lan had her own rules. No matter who offended her, she wouldn't let them off.
"But, I don't know how to tell him. Should I tell him honestly that I'm Li Lanfeng and that I've lied to you since we were young? I'm not as weak as you think. I don't know if Shiyu will go crazy if he hears this. In this life, because of me, he has already deviated from the path he should have taken … "Li Lanfeng was already conflicted about these things. Now that he was being scolded by Ling Lan, the last line of defense in his heart collapsed. He poured out everything that was in his heart.
"Li Lanfeng, you only have one chance. If you miss this chance, when the truth is revealed in the future, you might really lose your younger brother," Ling Lan warned him. She didn't want the Li family brothers in the team to fall out with each other. If that happened, she would be the one having a headache.
Li Lanfeng's gaze froze. After a long time, he replied, "I'll think about it …"
