Ling Xiao, who was now the fourth marshal, probably made the three marshals wary of him. Now, the three marshals would probably attack Ling Xiao at the same time. They wouldn't let a fourth marshal be on the same level as them.
"Can't we trust the First Marshal?" Li Lanfeng didn't want to give up. According to rumors, the First Marshal was grooming General Ling Xiao as his successor. His successor was so outstanding. Shouldn't he be happy and support him?
"A crown prince is just a crown prince, especially when the emperor is still strong." In history, how many crown princes were able to successfully inherit the throne? Even if there were, it was only because the emperor was old and didn't have the ability to do so. That was why he had no choice but to give up his power.
Ling Lan had seen the information about the First Marshal. Although he was over 90 years old, he was still strong and energetic. Now, the lifespan of humans was twice as long as in her previous life. This age, if converted, was only forty to fifty years old in her previous life. He was in the prime of his life, so how could he be willing to fully support a successor who could replace his position at any time?
Indeed, her father, Ling Xiao, was the most outstanding successor in the First Marshal's faction. But, so what? The First Marshal still had a lot of time to groom an outstanding successor. Hence, it wasn't impossible for him to give up on his father. Ling Lan's eyes turned cold. She was like the revived Ling Xiao. She didn't trust anyone anymore. If she wanted to control her own fate, she could only rely on herself.
Li Lanfeng understood everything Ling Lan said. That was why he asked Li Shiyu to announce to the public that Ling Lan was heavily injured and that the medicine didn't work on Ling Lan. However, Li Lanfeng didn't want Ling Lan to really leave. That was why he wanted to be lucky.
"I understand," Li Lanfeng said bitterly. Li Lanfeng said bitterly. He originally thought that he and Ling Lan would always be together, fighting together and advancing hand in hand. He didn't expect that in the end, he would still be alone, going against the heavens to change his fate.
Watching Li Lanfeng's disappointed back disappear at the door of the treatment room, Ling Lan sighed. "There is no banquet that lasts forever. No one can accompany you for a lifetime. In the future, it's up to you."
"Boss, are you in a bad mood?" Little Four, who was in the mindscape, sensed Ling Lan's bad mood and quickly came out to comfort her.
"Well, it turns out that saying goodbye to my companions is so difficult." Ling Lan smiled bitterly. It was clearly the best time for her to leave, but why was she so reluctant?
Seeing Ling Lan's sad expression, Little Four didn't know what to say. He couldn't understand the friendship between Ling Lan and Zilong and Li Lanfeng. In the end, he could only say, "Boss, don't worry. Little Four will always be with you."
Little Four felt that he couldn't do much by himself, so he quickly added, "Yes, there's also Little Blossom. Little Blossom will always be with Boss."
Seeing Little Four's anxious expression, Ling Lan was touched. She hugged Little Four and patted his little head. "Thank you, Little Four!"
Luckily, Little Four was always with her, so she wasn't all alone.
Ling Lan knew very well that if she wanted to completely resolve this crisis, the death escape was the best way. Perhaps, in the end, she wouldn't be able to escape this path, but once she embarked on this path, it meant that she would have to give up everything she had as a male Ling Lan, including those companions of hers. This would be incomparably cruel to both her and her companions.
Little Four was held in Ling Lan's arms. The warm breath made Little Four's cheeks flush red. He stuttered, "No, no need to thank me, Boss. I already said, we, we will always be with you."
"Yeah, and Floret too." Ling Lan smiled. "Right, speaking of Floret, can you ask Instructor Number Five when he's going to let Floret out? I'm worried that Floret might be broken from playing with her."
Hearing this, Little Four couldn't help but worry. Speaking of which, he really hadn't seen Floret in a long time.
Perhaps Ling Lan and Little Four's longing for Floret was too strong, because with a "bang", a small person fell from the sky, landing directly in front of Ling Lan and Little Four.
The small person was sprawled on the ground, not moving at all.
"Floret?" Little Four looked at the sky above the mindspace in surprise. As usual, there was no change at all. He couldn't figure out why Floret had suddenly appeared, and even landed in such a strange position.
"It should be Floret," Ling Lan said with certainty. It was still the same little chubby hands and legs from her memory. They were like lotus roots, making people want to take a bite.
Little Four walked over to where Floret was, and kicked Floret's butt with his little foot. "Floret, are you okay?"
Floret finally reacted. He propped himself up with both hands and lifted his head to look at Little Four. His gaze was very cold, as if he didn't recognise Little Four at all.
"Floret? How did you become like this? " Little Four hugged his head, his face full of disbelief. Where was that talkative and enthusiastic lackey of his of Floret?
"Training." Floret replied calmly. That adorably dumb and ignorant Floret of the past was gone, and in its place was a cold-blooded and emotionless child with facial paralysis.
This kind of Floret made Ling Lan frown uncontrollably. With a swipe of her right index finger, the mindspace was sliced open, revealing a black crack. Ling Lan reached out and grabbed Instructor Number Five who was trying to escape, pulling him over.
"Instructor Number Five, please explain." Ling Lan stared coldly at the somewhat disheveled Number Five.
Seeing that he couldn't escape, Number Five slowly tidied up his clothes. Finally, just as Ling Lan's patience was about to run out, he said, "This, I really don't know."
"Didn't you send Floret away for training?" Ling Lan frowned.
"At first, yes. But, someone took Floret away from my hands." Number Five spread his hands with a grin.
"Who?"
Number Five only smiled, but didn't answer. Ling Lan understood Number Five. If he didn't answer, it meant that he was restricted from saying this answer.
"Why?" Ling Lan decided to ask in a different way.
"Because you insisted on not awakening, so she couldn't appear. She could only take it out on your people …" Number Five revealed the reason for Floret's suffering with a half-smile. All of this was Ling Lan's fault.
"Awakening?" Ling Lan was stunned. She couldn't think of what she needed to awaken. After thinking for a while, she understood who Number Five was talking about. "Number Four?" Of the nine instructors, only Number Four hadn't appeared.
Number Five only smiled. Although he didn't answer, Ling Lan knew from his expression that she had guessed correctly.
But what exactly did this Instructor Number Four teach? Ling Lan really couldn't figure it out, so she didn't know what she needed to awaken for Instructor Number Four to appear.
Seeing Ling Lan's conflicted expression, Number Five sighed in his heart, knowing that Number Four would have to wait.
