Chapter 741 - Roommate!

On the other hand, Gu Zhengrong had the aura of a soldier. He was really good at assessing the situation and determining the most optimal way on how to react to it. Additionally, he was really good at taking care of people. With these traits, he should be the most probable suspect. However, these traits could also be the reason why he could also be the least probable suspect, as hiding out in the open would probably attract less suspicion, but he still might be the person from the Flying Dragon Special Forces.

These three people were all suspicious but there was no solid evidence to prove that they were from the Flying Dragon Special Forces. Maybe the person from Flying Dragon Special Forces was not among the three people in her apartment. After all, there were 20 transfer students but she only saw eight of them.

The five people who came together with her could be eliminated, as she didn't feel a sense of uncertainty when she met them.

Her Profound Insight couldn't pinpoint out the target but it could help her eliminate some people.

Soon, it was lunchtime. Gu Zhengrong knocked on Ling Lan's door just as he promised. Ling Lan walked out of her room excitedly. However, when she saw Meng Shaoran and Leng Hanfeng standing in the living room, she almost backtracked into her room in fright.

"Shaoyun, since we are living in the same apartment, we should move together. Leng Hanfeng and Meng Shaoran are not bad people. What are you afraid of?" Gu Zhengrong was speechless. Pei Shaoyun is too timid.

"No, I'm not afraid. I just didn't expect these two brothers to be waiting for me." Ling Lan waved her hand hurriedly. She was not scared, she was just shocked.

"That is better." Meng Shaoran tapped his lips with his finger and gave Ling Lan an evil smile. That seductive gaze and flirtatious expression made Ling Lan furious. She wanted to drag this person behind an alleyway and beat him up badly. F**k, I'm a man now. Why are you giving me that look! Damn it!

Meng Shaoran's expression caused Ling Lan to hide behind Gu Zhengrong's back. Just as Gu Zhengrong wanted to ask Meng Shaoran to stop teasing Pei Shaoyun, Ling Lan popped her head out and said righteously, "Brother Meng, I'm a man. Don't seduce me!"

"Pfft!" Gu Zhengrong laughed immediately, even the cold Leng Hanfeng cracked a smile.

Meng Shaoran was shocked. He didn't expect to be teased by this shy little rabbit. He was stunned for a moment before he started laughing as well.

"Hahaha, interesting! Very interesting!" This little rabbit is not totally useless after all. He still has some courage left in him. Meng Shaoran was really interested in Ling Lan now as he was just faking his interest just now.

"Okay, it's okay. Your expression was too real just now so Shaoyun misunderstood you." Gu Zhengrong suppressed his laughter and started covering for Ling Lan.

"Let's go. I don't want to eat leftovers." Leng Hanfeng suddenly interrupted them.

Meng Shaoran looked at Leng Hanfeng in surprise. He didn't expect the proud Leng Hanfeng to help someone. Is he in a good mood? That impossible. The reason why was helping her could only be because he got interested in Ling Lan too.

Haha, this is getting exciting! Now, Meng Shaoran truly felt that coming to this school was a good decision. Leng Hanfeng was interesting. Gu Zhengrong was interesting as well. Su Pei and Xiao Yiqiu were interesting too. Even Pei Shaoyun, who he didn't like at the start, got interesting…

It seems like he won't get bored this year!

The canteen of the Central Scout Academy was split into low-class, middle-class, and high-class sections. Ling Lan and her roommates were going to the high-class section. Students who could enter the high-class section were either from the special class or were transfer students.

The uniform of the Central Scout Academy was dark blue in color. Only the valedictorian had white lines on its edges. There was only one valedictorian in each grade. They had a special dining spot in the canteen, showcasing the honor of a valedictorian.

The valedictorian in the Central Scout Academy must be the highest scoring student in terms of physical skills. Once the position was given, it would not change for the entire year. The only way the valedictorian position could be taken away was through a challenge. If you wanted to compete against the valedictorian for his position, you would need to fight against the members of the valedictorian's battle team first. After winning against his five normal members and the valedictorian himself, would you obtain the position of valedictorian?

This cruel challenge rule meant that the valedictorian would keep changing. However, this survival of the fittest atmosphere caused the students there to be strong and full of fighting spirit. This was why the students from Central Scout Academy of Planet Azure were able to enter various military academies even though their talent and potential were average among the masses.

The moment Ling Lan and her roommates entered the canteen, they saw people already challenging Yu Zhengyuan and his battle team. The students in the canteen got excited when they saw this, so they quickly gathered around them to spectate.

Yu Zhengyuan put down his chopsticks. "You really want to challenge me?"

"Of course!" An arrogant youth replied proudly. He was one of the 20 transfer students that arrived earlier today. Three more arrogant young men stood beside him. They must live in the same apartment. They probably came to challenge the 10th grade valedictorian together.

Little Jin smiled and asked, "Do you know how the challenge goes?"

"I just have to win against all of you and then win against him, right?" The arrogant youth pointed at Yu Zhengyuan.

"Yup, we will each take a turn fighting you. Do you have the confidence to win against all of us?" Little Jin waved his finger to remind the youth that the challenge was not that easy.

The arrogant youth didn't back down. He sneered. "I know. The five of you are a piece of cake anyway." He looked at Yu Zhengyuan who was staring at him calmly. Among the six people in front of him, only the valedictorian made him feel pressured. The other members seemed easy to deal with.

Little Jin smiled and got up after hearing what the youth said. He stretched his body and said, "Since you are looking for a beating, I have to satisfy you. If not, I'll feel sorry for your mother who wasted her years, raising a son who's blind."

"You bastard!" Little Jin's insult caused the youth to explode in anger. He rushed up and wanted to give Little Jin a good punch in the face. However, he suddenly realized that Little Jin had disappeared from where was standing.

He felt a strong gust of wind behind his back. In response, he turned around and punched behind him.

Boom! Two fists collided. The youth felt a huge force coming towards him and took a few steps back to negate it.

Little Jin took two steps back too. He retracted his fist and smiled. "No wonder you are so bold. You do have some skills."

"That guy is pretty okay. He could take Little Jin's brutal blow." Yu Zhengyuan's team members discussed quietly among themselves. They no longer looked down on this youth.

"Since he dared to challenge us, he, of course, has some capabilities. However, Little Jin has the innate talent 'Brutal Force'. His opponent could never fight on an equal playing field." Yu Zhengyuan was not worried at all, as Little Jin took two steps back while his opponent took four steps back. The difference in strength seemed small but it was actually huge. After a few more rounds, the difference in strength would be exposed soon.

As expected, when Little Jin realized that he was at an advantage, he continued attacking relentlessly.

The arrogant youth wanted to go on the defensive but Little Jin didn't give him any chance to do so. Hence, after throwing punches at each other for a while, the arrogant youth couldn't bear it anymore. When Little Jin threw the last punch, the arrogant youth took ten steps back and spat out some blood.

His internal organs were severely injured from that last punch.

Little Jin retracted his fist. He blew at it while looking at the youth with disdain. "Do you still want to challenge our team leader?"

The arrogant youth turned pale. He didn't expect this average-looking member to be so strong. It should be known that in his previous school, his ability was enough for him to rule the entire school. He thought he was considered quite strong there but unexpectedly, he couldn't even win against a normal member.

This huge setback caused the youth to lose his confidence. He screamed and pushed his comrades away, before rushing out of the canteen. He was too embarrassed to eat his meal there.

Little Jin shrugged. He said with pity, "Boring." That transfer student couldn't even handle such a small setback. It seems like the strength of the transfer students this year varied.

Little Jin looked at the three people who came with the arrogant youth. The three people took a step back instinctively. This timid action caused Little Jin and Yu Zhengyuan to shook their heads. Ling Lan and her roommates also felt unhappy too. They felt that the arrogant youth embarrassed all the transfer students.

Little Jin was bored so he wanted to continue eating. When he turned around, he saw Ling Lan from the corner of his eyes. Ling Lan gave him a shy smile and secretly gave him a thumbs up. Little Jin was speechless.

Doesn't he know that he is also a transfer student? Isn't he afraid that other transfer students would notice that small action? Little Jin felt worried about Pei Shaoyun. To prevent anyone else from noticing her, he quickly looked away and walked towards his team leader. He sat down and started eating seriously.

Little Brother Shaoyun, don't come and look for me! Little Jin prayed silently.

"You know him?" Everybody except her roommates didn't see Ling Lan's small action. Gu Zhengrong couldn't keep the doubt he had to himself and immediately asked her.

Ling Lan nodded. "I'm able to complete my registration mission because of him. He is a good person." Ling Lan looked grateful, seemingly oblivious to how her answer could be taken the wrong way.

Meng Shaoran rubbed his forehead. He said in a low voice, "I suggest we should keep a distance from this idiot." He didn't want every transfer student to misunderstand him, thinking that he seek refuge with the non-transfer students.

"Idiot? Who?" Ling Lan blinked innocently.

Meng Shaoran's lips twitched. He couldn't maintain his naughty smile anymore. He left them instantly. He didn't want to stay with an idiot.

"You really don't know who he was talking about?" Gu Zhengrong was speechless.

"If I knew, he'll be happy, right?" Ling Lan asked him back while giving a cheeky look.

Leng Hanfeng smiled. He knew Pei Shaoyun was not as simple as he looked. He was innocent and shy but not stupid. Also, he had a superb instinct. He knew who he shouldn't offend and who he could make friends with.

Gu Zhengrong heard her question and laughed. This Pei Shaoyun. Should I call him bold or warn him against being too overconfident?

The four of them ate their lunch and then returned to their apartment. After chatting for a while, they returned to their rooms.

The next day, the four of them came to their classroom. The 20 transfer students were split into two special classes. Each class had 10 students. Coincidentally, Ling Lan and her roommates were all placed in the second class. Su Pei, Xiao Yiqiu and a bunch of other people were in the same class. This order might be due to their time of registration. The first 10 people who registered were put in the first class.

"We meet again." They saw familiar faces as they walked into the classroom. Su Pei greeted them amiably and Xiao Yiqiu waved at them.

Leng Hanfeng didn't reply to them. Meng Shaoran didn't seem interested in Su Pei and Xiao Yiqiu so he just leaned against the doorframe lazily. Ling Lan lowered her head as she was walking into the classroom. Gu Zhengrong looked at the three of them and felt that he couldn't rely on any of them. "Hello, you two are bright and early."

"No, we are not. Lesson is almost starting." Su Pei replied gently but his words were not amiable at all. Gu Zhengrong smiled awkwardly.

In the end, Leng Hanfeng couldn't stand it anymore and walked passed Su Pei and Xiao Yiqiu. Ling Lan followed closely behind him. She continued looking on the ground as she walked by the two of them. Meng Shaoran shook his head and followed after Ling Lan. Gu Zhengrong smiled apologetically at Su Pei and Xiao Yiqiu before walking past them as well.

Sob, why do they always let me do the hardest things? Gu Zhengrong gave the three people blaming look. Leng Hanfeng and Meng Shaoran ignored him while Ling Lan didn't even look at his face. No one answered him in the end.

Chapter 742 - Content!

Ling Lan followed behind Leng Hanfeng and didn't look up at all. However, in actual fact, she was observing everything around her. She saw a team member of Yu Zhengyuan, the person who helped her with her registration and had brought her to her apartment, Little Jin, and who easily defeated that arrogant youth yesterday.

However, Little Jin didn't even send a glance at her. It was as though he didn't recognize her. Ling Lan was curious about the reason why he was ignoring her. Well, her face was not irritating to the eyes, so there must be something wrong with him.

Everyone just sat around casually without any pre-arranged seats. Ling Lan followed her roommates to sit in the last row together. Little Jin was sitting in the same row too.

Ling Lan noticed how Little Jin was occasionally sending a glance at her. She secretly gave him a smile and waved at him.

Little Jin got a shock when he saw her actions. He gave her a small smile, and turned around instantly, completely ignoring her again. He didn't look like he disliked her. Ling Lan leaned on the table dejectedly and wondered why he was doing that.

"He doesn't hate you, he just wants to keep a distance away from you." Leng Hanfeng's voice floated into her ear. Ling Lan looked up in surprise. She didn't expect the aloof Leng Hanfeng to clarify her doubts.

Is it because I looked so harmless that this ice mountain let down his guard against me? Ling Lan frowned in her heart. She remembered what the staff had told her when she applied for the Central Scout Academy on Doha that year. She should stop taking such disguise mission in the future.

Ling Lan didn't want her face to attract too much attention to her. Fortunately, her face was still very childish. Thus, it wouldn't cause too much damage yet. It might be because she had been taking suppression shots continuously.

Thinking up to that point, Ling Lan recalled that there was only one year left before the deadline she had set with her mother would come. She felt frustrated. She didn't know how she would change after she stopped taking suppression shots. After pretending to be a man for more than 20 years, she was already used to this life. She felt awkward, thinking about experiencing life as a woman in the near future.

Forget it, let's just go with the flow. There will be a way around this! Ling Lan decided to forget about this matter.

Although Ling Lan was internally freaking out, externally she still looked as though she was consoled by Leng Hanfeng's words. She gave him a faint smile. Leng Hanfeng looked at her coldly in response and turned away too. Those indifferent eyes really did make people want to hit him in the face and tear his expressionless face apart.

Ling Lan leaned on the table again and started self-reflecting. When she treated her comrades coldly in the past, did they feel like hitting her too?

"Don't worry, Boss. Your comrades don't dare to have any negative opinions about you." Little Four stood up immediately and denied her thoughts. If Boss didn't look at them coldly for a day, they would worry about their Boss as he was acting out of character. Ling Lan was enlightened. Her comrades were all masochists.

Meng Shaoran smiled when he saw how disheartened Ling Lan was. Ling Lan rolled her eyes at him. For some reason, Meng Shaoran always teased her whenever he could. He seemed especially interested in her. Ling Lan couldn't understand why though. Why would someone powerful like him be interested in a shy, timid, and normal young man? Shouldn't he be more interested in people like Leng Hanfeng, Gu Zhengrong, Su Pei and Xiao Yiqiu? Those people suited his taste better.

Gu Zhengrong, who was talking to the person beside him, noticed their interactions. He turned and comforted Ling Lan. "Shaoyun, ignore them." He lowered his voice and added, "They are all weirdos anyway."

Ling Lan smiled when she heard that. Her sincere and pure smile attracted many people's attention.

Su Pei couldn't help and send a glance over. When he saw the smile, he frowned. Xiao Yiqiu saw Su Pei's expression and followed his gaze. He smiled. "You like it?"

Su Pei relaxed his brows and resumed his indifferent expression. "It's quite beautiful, right?"

"Do you think he will still be able to smile like that after he experiences some humiliation?" Xiao Yiqiu's eyes glinted. He was thinking about something.

"Who knows? Maybe heaven pampers him and would never let him experience any setbacks." Su Pei closed his eyes after finishing this sentence, showing that he didn't want to continue the conversation.

"Pampers him? I don't believe that there is such kind of people around." Xiao Yiqiu looked at Ling Lan and gave her a friendly smile.

Little Jin saw Xiao Yiqiu's smile, and his heart dropped. He remembered his team leader's comment about this person. He was not as good as he outwardly showed. Xiao Yiqiu looked like a positive young man but he was not one. He wondered if there were good intentions behind his smile.

Little Jin started to worry about Pei Shaoyun. Unfortunately, he couldn't warn him personally. If his enemies saw him interacting with Pei Shaoyun, they would think that Pei Shaoyun was on his side, causing her a lot of trouble.

Little Jin looked at Gu Zhengrong. Maybe he should befriend Gu Zhengrong. After all, his team leader said that he would make a good friend. He looked like he had a good relationship with Shaoyun so he might be able to help her too. Little Jin made a decision, after feeling frustrated for a moment. He was the only member of his team in the second class. There was no one he could discuss with.

After some time, the teacher finally arrived. There were no lessons for the students in the tenth grade. They were able to plan and conduct their own training. This gathering was to just let the transfer students be familiar with their future friends and potential foes. Under the guidance of their teacher, Ling Lan and the other transfer students did a simple self-introduction. Then, they were officially announced as students of special class number two.

After that, the teacher dismissed them. Ling Lan and her roommates returned to their apartment and did their own things.

Ling Lan spent most of her time in the apartment fiddling around with her equipment. As for her roommates, they were mostly away. They would normally visit the combat arena and fight with the students there to raise their combat experience. They would also go around making friends, widening their network. Even the cold and arrogant Leng Hanfeng found a few good friends.

Ling Lan's actions proved that her personality aligned with her actions perfectly.

To some people, Ling Lan was cleared of their suspicion. However, this didn't mean that she wouldn't face any trouble or danger. Sometimes, even if you are not someone's obstacle, they would still disturb you because of their own interests. Sometimes, they were just lunatics who just wanted to harm you.

After staying in her room for four days, the holiday came. The Central Scout Academy of Planet Azure wasn't so strict with their students compared to the Scout Academy in Doha. At Doha, the students could only go home during the summer and winter holidays. During other times, they must remain within the school compound. Here, the school gates would be opened every holiday. The students were allowed to visit the cities nearby to buy some necessities. Of course, you needed to have credits first.

This showed the difference between the Central Scout Academy of Planet Azure and Doha. At Doha, the students didn't have to worry about all these. The school would provide it for them. But, on Planet Azure, the school didn't have the luxury to spend that much to support their students.

However, this was a good thing for Ling Lan. Her main purpose for coming here was to find out Li Lanfeng's background. This mission was just a way for her to get on Planet Azure. She wanted a simple mission so that she could finish it quickly and stalk Li Lanfeng. However, her missions were too much of a hassle so she didn't have the time to find Li Lanfeng.

The description of the mission was just one sentence, but Ling Lan could already feel how dangerous it was. She didn't expect the peaceful looking Central Scout Academy on Planet Azure to be controlled by an unknown force. Students were nurtured to become spies from a young age. These young men would then enter into different military academies after they graduated, after that, they would enter the military, and thus, becoming a spy in the divisions.

If one of the cadets didn't expose himself and got noticed by an inspector, the Federation wouldn't have known that one of their education facilities was infiltrated by their enemies. The military traced this clue to the Central Scout Academy on Planet Azure. However, the enemies had already taken over the Central Scout Academy on Planet Azure for more than ten years. The waters were very deep in the school. A few soldiers who pretended to be teachers couldn't find any evidence there. Some of them even left the school, went missing, or ended up dead.

Hence, although there was definitely something suspicions there, the Federation couldn't do anything about it. They now knew that the enemies were guarded against the teachers who were sent to this school so this tactic wouldn't get them any results. They had no choice but to find another way around it. This was why they gave out this disguise mission. They wanted someone to investigate the school using the status of a student.

Considering how dangerous this mission was, they appointed the Tang Ningyu for this mission. They also sent a few powerful teachers over to attract the enemies' attention. Not only that, if the student was exposed, the teachers could help him escape. The Federation would not allow such a talented person to die in this mission.

Chapter 743 - A Familiar Person!

The next afternoon, Ling Lan packed up happily and prepared to go out shopping. However, she saw none of her roommates had gone out yet, they were all sitting on the sofa in the living room, spending their time looking at their communicator.

Ling Lan asked in surprise. "Are you all not going out?"

Meng Shaoran gave an evil smile and replied lazily, "I am."

Ling Lan looked up at the sky. It is almost noon. Who were they waiting for?

When he saw Ling Lan being confused, Gu Zhengrong laughed. "Shaoyun, we were waiting for you."

Ling Lan scratched her head. "Did I agree to go with you? I need to go to the city today to buy some daily necessities."

"Idiot!" Leng Hanfeng threw that word at her. Ling Lan lowered her head and appeared to be deeply affected by that word. However, in her heart, she was furious. She couldn't stand Leng Hanfeng, she wanted to tear his face apart.

"Don't talk to Shaoyun like that." Gu Zhengrong spoke up for Ling Lan, so Ling Lan gave him a grateful look. "We know you are buying things today, that was why we waited for you. Who knew you would sleep in today." Gu Zhengrong pointed to the glaring sun outside as he teased her.

Ling Lan scratched her head shyly. "Erm, I slept late yesterday because I was designing a mecha model. Hey, how did you know that I'm going to the city today?" She pretended to just notice it.

"Your suitcase only consisted of pieces of equipment and tools. If you don't go shopping today, I have to suspect that you are a pig." Meng Shaoran stretched his back and stood up. His words were irritating as usual.

Ling Lan glared at him. Meng Shaoran was being irritating but Ling Lan's unusual reaction caused Leng Hanfeng to be surprised. He looked at Meng Shaoran mysteriously.

"Okay, let's go out immediately. If not, it'll be too late." Gu Zhengrong looked at the time and reminded everyone.

In the end, Ling Lan was dragged out of the apartment by Meng Shaoran and Leng Hanfeng. When Little White realized that its boss was pulled away, it quickly jumped over and barely managed to catch the edge of Ling Lan's clothes. It had luckily prevented itself from being abandoned.

Sob, it's hard being a pet. It must fight with strangers for its Boss. If not, its Boss would disappear. Little White suddenly had a sense of crisis.

As for Ling Lan, she already had it multiple times in her heart. F**k, I didn't agree to anything. If you guys follow me, how am I supposed to stalk Li Lanfeng! Ah!

Ling Lan screamed in her heart. However, on her face, she had to appear surprised and elated. Basically implying with her expression that she really believed that her roommates really wanted to go out with her, so it must mean that they took her as their real friend. This was such a huge surprise to her.

To hell with surprises. I don't need them! Ling Lan pointed her middle finger at them mentally. Her impression of Meng Shaoran, Leng Hanfeng, and Gu Zhengrong dropped by a considerable amount.

Experience proved that once the things you do that was different from their expectations, their impression of you will drop. Hence, knowing what other people wanted of you is really important. If not, no matter how hard you work or how sincere you are, your effort will be put to waste.

Her roommates didn't know that as they were dragging Ling Lan to the city, they had become the enemy of their cute younger brother. They still thought that this was a good bonding session to improve their relationships.

As a person who had many friends, Gu Zhengrong already prepared a shopping list already. The four of them didn't waste much time and got all the essentials that Ling Lan needed.

Ling Lan noticed something good when she shopped with her roommates. She didn't need to carry her shopping bags. Although she was a man now, her face helped her gained many liberties. Most of the time, after she paid for her shopping, the ladies at the counter would pass the bags to her roommates. If they didn't take it, the ladies would look at them unhappily. They seemed to be scolding her roommates: Why aren't you taking care of your younger brother when you brought him out for shopping? What kind of older brother are you?

Under the ladies' intense gaze, her roommates had no choice but to take the bags. This made Ling Lan feel like she was with her comrades again. As their Boss, Ling Lan never had to carry anything. Cough, it was because she had too many underlings so she never had the chance to.

Soon, it was lunchtime. Gu Zhengrong suggested that they find a place to have a meal. Meng Shaoran and Leng Hanfeng agreed. As for Ling Lan, her opinion was of relative importance, so no one asked her.

I don't want to eat with you all! Damn it! Ling Lan finally knew what it was like to be an underling. She felt frustrated that she was unable to decide things for herself. Ling Lan decided that in the future, she would only be a Boss and would never be an underling. She would kill whoever dared to make her his or her underling.

The three people in front of her felt a chill down their spine. They turned back instantly, and saw Ling Lan looking at them with a puzzled expression.

Everything was fine so the three of them thought that they were just too sensitive. Their mood was already dampened so they casually chose a restaurant that did not look too bad.

When they entered the door, a handsome man with a gentle smile appeared in front of them. He had some food in his hand and was bidding farewell to the shop owner.

Ling Lan cursed in her heart. She didn't expect the person who should be reporting to his superiors at the headquarters' military hospital to appear here. The person was Li Shiyu.

Nothing was worse than meeting someone you knew when you were on a spy mission. Ling Lan lowered her head and did a hand sign with her hands secretly. She wanted Li Shiyu to pretend that he didn't know her.

When Li Shiyu saw Ling Lan, he was shocked too. He wondered why his regiment commander was here. However, when she lowered her head, he knew that something was amiss. He saw the hand sign that only a member from Lingtian would know and immediately understood everything.

He looked at the three people beside his regiment commander intently. They were all young men around 15 years old. Yet, they all had different auras. He also realized, to his surprise, that his regiment commander's cold aura had disappeared. Ling Lan was like a cute and handsome younger brother when she stood among the three people, her aura really attract someone to want to protect her.

Oh my god, our brutal and vicious Boss is so handsome? Li Shiyu felt that heaven was evil. It gave his boss this face so that he could honeytrap people, right?

Leng Hanfeng felt Li Shiyu's gaze and looked at him coldly. The gaze seemed familiar but it was different from his Boss's gaze. His Boss's coldness was from the bottom of his heart. As for this young man, the coldness was just on his face. Every time his Boss looked at them indifferently during training, he felt that Boss really did want to kill them.

Li Shiyu smiled. Beside this mock cold-looking youth, there was someone who was the real deal. Yet, he just disguised himself as a harmless and pure person. Li Shiyu knew the truth so this scene appeared funny to him. If this young man knew Ling Lan's true form, would he still be able to maintain his mock coldness?

Li Shiyu felt sorry for Leng Hanfeng so he smiled at him. Li Shiyu had a warm smile. It was not as gentle as his elder cousin brother's smile but it was enough to melt Leng Hanfeng's coldness.

As expected, this young man was just pretending to be arrogant and cold. Li Shiyu smiled again. He nodded at Leng Hanfeng and left the shop. His eldest cousin brother loved to eat Moluomi, and this shop had the best Moluomi. Every time he would come back to Planet Azure to visit his eldest cousin brother, he would buy some for him.

Because of his health, his eldest cousin brother's diet was specially prepared by nutritionists. He did try a little bit of his food out of curiosity once and he never wanted to eat it again. Yet, his eldest cousin brother had to eat it every day without stopping. Li Shiyu respected his eldest cousin brother's perseverance. When he was young, he couldn't bear to see his eldest cousin brother eating such horrible tasting food so he asked him what he wanted to eat. His eldest cousin brother told him that he wanted to eat Moluomi. It was a kind of dessert his eldest cousin brother's mother made for him when he was young.

Li Shiyu knew the reason why his eldest cousin brother wanted Moluomi, it was not because Moluomi was delicious. Instead, it was because his eldest cousin brother just missed his mother and the love she gave him. Unfortunately, his mother had a hemorrhage after giving birth to him so her health was poor. The medical expertise in the Federation was quite high, but it was not enough to save her life. When his eldest cousin brother was four, she died. The only memory she left for his eldest cousin brother was Moluomi.

Thinking about this, Li Shiyu's mood turned for the worse. Although he had brought some agents he invented, he wasn't sure if they would work. If he couldn't heal his eldest cousin brother now, he would miss the best time for his treatment.

Li Shiyu got agitated. He wanted to know why his Boss came here but he believed that if his Boss wanted to find him, he would.

Li Shiyu had sent the address of the Li family to his Boss. He knew that the communicator his Boss was using now was not his personal one but with Ling Lan's hacking abilities, he would definitely get whatever information he wanted.

Chapter 744 - Li Mulan!

The Li family's house was situated beside a beach a few kilometres away from the Central Scout Academy. Li Shiyu came over in a hover car. He got off right in front of the main door. Then, he knocked on the door carefully.

The person who opened the door was the major-domo of the Li family. Because of his eldest cousin brother's health, he came to Planet Azure when he was five years old to meditate, trying to make use of the peacefulness of Planet Azure to stabilize his condition. This major-domo in front of him volunteered to come with his eldest cousin brother to Planet Azure. Hence, Li Shiyu respected this major-domo very much.

"Major-domo, long time no see. How have you been?" Li Shiyu gave a gentle smile as he spoke to the old man who seemed a little shocked by his visit.

The major-domo quickly regained his composure. He smiled and asked, "Second young master, what brings you here? I heard from young master that you have already entered the military, and are doing very well there. Congratulations on your success, second young master."

Li Shiyu replied, "Thank you, major-domo." He peeked past the major-domo and asked in a low voice, "How is Brother Mulan?"

In his past numerous visits, the major-domo would frown whenever he heard this question. However, this time, he gave a bright smile to Li Shiyu. Li Shiyu's eyes lit up when he saw the smile, hope started to light up inside him. Is his eldest cousin brother's health getting better?

As expected, Li Shiyu received good news from the major-domo. "Young master's body is recovering well. He should be able to fully recover after some time."

Li Shiyu was elated. He wondered which amazing military doctor managed to heal his eldest cousin brother's illness which had been pestering him for many years.

The major-domo answered his query. Around five years ago, Young master went to the beach to take a walk. Coincidentally, he met a domain realm master there. The domain realm master must have been in a good mood that day or he just happened to like Li Mulan, so he taught Li Mulan some physical skills training just out of the kindness of his heart. With the help of Li Shiyu's agents which he had been continuously sending all these years, Li Mulan's body slowly started improving.

When he heard that, Li Shiyu started to visibly relax his shoulders. The responsibility on his shoulders felt lighter. But, Li Shiyu was still afraid that the major-domo didn't diagnosis his eldest cousin brother accurately so he rushed into the house to diagnosis his eldest cousin brother's health personally, but only after throwing the Moluomi to the major-domo.

The Li family's house had a vintage design to it. There were olden style buildings and pavilions around the compound. Small streams and long corridors weaved through the house. It was segregated into two areas, the public area and the private area. The public area was where visitors would come if they were to come in the compound and where they attend to the visitors. As for the private area, it was where Li Mulan stayed so no outsiders were allowed to enter the private area.

However,Li Shiyu was not an outsider to Li Mulan so he could freely enter the private area. The major-domo, just like other the past numerous times, didn't stop him. He smiled as he watched Li Shiyu rushing into the house, the situation was like a puppy seeing its owner coming back home. He felt happy that these two brothers had such a great relationship.

The private area was designed more exquisitely compared to the public area. As you enter the private area, you would be met with an immersive and luxurious garden. With the status and wealth of the Li family, this garden was as luxurious as the imperial garden of any imperial family in the past.

Li Shiyu was in a rush to see his cousin so he leaped his way over the garden instead of running through it, leaving some beautiful buildings behind the garden with no one admiring them. Without thinking, he rushed to the tallest three storey building.

"Big Brother!" Li Shiyu pushed the door opened and ran in.

Although the exterior design of the house was of a vintage style, the interior was a mix of modern and vintage. These two totally different designs merged together perfectly.

The room was spacious, around 400 square meters. A few antique cupboards and shelves segregated the room into different sections. When you entered the room, the first section you would encounter would be the living room. Sofa and chairs made from Catalpa wood were filled this area. There was one door on the west side of the room and another door on the east side of the room. The former led to the pantry while the latter led to the study.

After walking through the study, a clear and shining crystal curtain could be seen, the scent from a scented candle permeated throughout the room. Through the crystal curtain, you could see a silhouette of a beautifully carved bed. It was the bedroom.

The moment Li Shiyu entered the room, he heard the sound of the crystals on the curtain crashing into each other. A fair and pretty hand slowly moved the curtains to the side, revealing a beautiful man wearing a purple robe.

When Li Shiyu heard the sound, he immediately rushed over to the room. He saw his eldest cousin brother smiling at him. Suddenly, Li Shiyu couldn't control his emotions, he could feel the tears starting to build up in his eyes. He had waited for this scene for so many years. Finally, his eldest cousin brother could stand in front of him healthily. He no longer had to lie on his bed weakly, as though death was just around the corner.

"Brother!" All of his emotions congregated into a single word.

"Shiyu, you are here." Li Mulan looked happy. He walked over instantly and grabbed Li Shiyu's hand. He pulled him to a chair at the side and asked him to sit down. Normally, he would talk with his guest in the living room, only the people he trusted the most would be invited into the study.

Li Shiyu felt Li Mulan's trust in him and immediately let out a happy smile.

Li Mulan saw this and slowly shook his head. He flicked Li Shiyu's forehead and said in a pampering tone, "You are already this old. Why are you still like this? I really wonder how did survive in the military like that."

Li Shiyu replied proudly, "I was fortunate enough to meet a good leader."

Li Mulan relaxed. "That's good. I was afraid that you would be unable to get used to life in the military. I was elated when I knew you had received merits."

Li Shiyu was not surprised that Li Mulan knew what had happened to him so quickly. If the Li family didn't know any information about him, he should be worried instead. Although Li Yingjie and he had entered the 23rd Division instead of the divisions controlled by the Li family, Li Shiyu still believed that the Li family would not give up on them just like that. They would definitely watch over them. Once the two of them ever did anything noteworthy, the Li family would be the first to know.

Li Shiyu told Li Mulan about the happenings in the military. After that, he stared at Li Mulan for a long time.

Li Mulan felt awkward by the relentless stare. He touched his face instinctively and asked in a puzzled tone, "Shiyu, is there something wrong with my face?"

"Brother, let me inspect your body," Li Shiyu said seriously. He was still unable to feel at ease unless he examined his body personally.

Li Mulan understood Li Shiyu's worries so he just nodded obediently.

They went into the bedroom. Li Mulan laid on the bed obediently. Li Shiyu took out a device and started collecting data from Li Mulan's body. The results were lower than the standard data from a healthy person but compared to the data he took in the past, there was a huge difference.

However, the device also made mistakes (like what happened to Luo Lang). Hence, Li Shiyu used his traditional chinese medicine knowledge, which he didn't have a full grasp of, to inspect Li Mulan's body. He concluded that his eldest cousin brother's health was indeed improving. He started to relax again.

Li Mulan saw Li Shiyu's relief and smiled. "Do you believe that I'm fine now?"

Li Shiyu nodded.

The two of them returned to the study and chatted for a while more. The major-domo placed the Moluomi on a plate and served it to them.

Li Mulan knew that Li Shiyu had brought it specially for him so he took a piece and bit into it.

"How is it?" Li Shiyu asked.

Li Mulan slowly nodded. "It tastes the same. I like it."

Li Shiyu smiled happily.

Li Mulan looked at the elated Li Shiyu and started to turn serious. "Shiyu, actually, there is something I've always wanted to tell you. However, I knew that you would not listen to me in the past, so I didn't say it. However, now, I feel that this is the right time for me to say it."

"What is it?" Li Shiyu was nervous. This was the first time he saw such an expression on his eldest cousin brother's face. He didn't expect to feel so much pressure from his eldest cousin brother.

"Don't let me affect your future. Your future shouldn't be tied to the state of my body. You should have a bigger ambition," Li Mulan said seriously.

"Brother, I don't have any grand ambition." Li Shiyu smiled gently. "Ever since I was young, I have always just wanted a carefree life. I just want to do what I want to do. Being the family head of the Li family was never my dream. Big Brother, your health gave me the motivation to work harder. It gave me direction when I was lost. After so many years, I started to like being a military doctor. I feel a sense of achievement whenever I see those people who were declared hopeless getting another chance to live because of me."

Li Shiyu retracted his smile and continued earnestly. "Big Brother, don't worry. I'm very happy in the 23rd division. Since your health is getting better, I will work hard for my leader then."

Li Shiyu's eyes were full of respect. "My leader will be a ruler someday. As his comrade, I must not be too lousy."

Li Mulan laughed when he heard what Li Shiyu said. His laughter warmed up the whole room. Li Shiyu couldn't look straight at him, as his heart started palpitating quickly.

"If that is the case, Shiyu, you have to work hard!" Li Mulan was sincere with his words of encouragement.

"Of course." Li Shiyu was firm with his decision.

"Oh right, my leader might come and find me in the next few days. You can have a look at him." Li Shiyu suddenly remembered this matter so he told Li Mulan. This was to prevent Ling Lan from being stopped by the major-domo when he came by to visit. Li Shiyu didn't think that the major-domo could stop Ling Lan, but to prevent their relationship from getting worse… fine, to protect the Li family, it's better that they didn't offend Ling Lan. Li Shiyu knew what Ling Lan was capable of.

Clang! The plate of Moluomi fell on the ground, shattering into countless pieces.

Li Shiyu immediately bent down and picked up the broken shards. He asked with concern in his voice, "Brother, are you alright?"

Li Mulan gave a forced smile. "I'm fine. I was careless just now. It's a pity that I wasted the Moluomi."

"It's okay. If you like it, I'll get more for you tomorrow." Li Shiyu was bending down, so he didn't notice the nervousness in Li Mulan's eyes.

Ling Lan is coming?

Chapter 745 - Seducing Women in Secret?

"The best time to commit a crime is when the moon is high up in the sky. Boss, where are we going to commit crime?" Little Four's face blushed as he said excitedly. Yes, this is the first time I would do something bad with Boss. It is too stimulating. Yes, I will definitely coerce Boss into doing some more bad things in the future… Little Four began to hide his evil smile.

Ling Lan glared at Little Four coldly. Her expression was somewhat threatening. That Little Four, always thinking of doing something bad.

He even said that we were going to commit a crime? What crime? I am just accepting the invitation of one of my subordinates, Li Shiyu, to go to his house as a guest. Although the time of day she was going there at was indeed a small problem. But could she really be blamed for it? She had three roommates who stuck to her like sticky-candy. Other than waiting for them to fall asleep, how else could she have gotten rid of them and move about on her own? In their eyes, she was just a shut-in and would never leave her room unless necessary.

Ling Lan stood on top of the roof of the highest building. She looked down below at the garden that was surrounded by mist and the other buildings beyond the garden… She indeed seemed like a heart snatcher… meeting with her mistress at night…

It was all Little Four's fault. He made her have impure thoughts… Ling Lan decided to punish Little Four when she got back.

It was too bad that Little Four didn't know that his Boss had already become angry at him. Perhaps when they return, his little butt will suffer.

Ling Lan looked at the buildings in the back and frowned slightly. Now, which building does Li Shiyu live in? She didn't want to meet with her mistress, no, meet up in a bedroom and make it awkward when she enters the bedroom of an unfamiliar person.

"Little Four, check where Li Shiyu lives." After having no way of finding out, Ling Lan could only ask the omnipotent cheating machine, Little Four. However, the omnipotent cheating machines also had times when it was not so omnipotent. Right as Little Four began to excitedly crack his knuckles and was about to make his move, his expression in the next second looked like a frozen eggplant. He had a sad expression on his face as he spoke, "Boss, this place actually doesn't have any surveillance equipment. I can't do anything."

What was wrong with the mansion of the Li family? How could they not even have one piece of high-tech equipment? They actually made him lose his reputation in front of his Boss. Little Four didn't have any good feelings about this place.

"It seems that the master of this place is very careful." Sometimes not having a high-tech security system was considered to be an asset when facing certain enemies. Ling Lan wasn't as petty as Little Four and admired the cautiousness of the master of the place.

"But we don't know where Li Shiyu is, how do we look for him," asked Little Four.

"How to find him…? Hmm, we'll go look one by one," Ling Lan said without any care for the world. Although she didn't want to get into a stranger's bedroom, it didn't mean that she couldn't do that.

"Then, where do we start?" Little Four was filled with energy once again. In short, doing bad things… No, helping his Boss was something he very willing to do.

"Let's start from there." Ling Lan pointed at the closest building. She then vanished in a flash.

In the next second, Ling Lan softly landed in the corridor of the building's second floor. She frowned as she looked at the ancient door in front of her. She was originally planning on using Little Four to silently enter into the room to take a look. Now it seemed that Little Four was completely useless in this area.

However, it wasn't difficult for her. Ling Lan pressed against the door and used her inner strength to slowly turn the lock of the door. She slowly opened a crack and then instantly slid inside. After she got into the room, she saw some antique looking furniture. There was also the scent of some sort of incense. Ling Lan immediately stopped breathing. Although this was the sub-family's lodgings of the Li family, she was still coming in at night. The people here shouldn't know she was there. If they were to discover her, it was normal that they might have a few methods to defend themselves, such as poison in the air.

After standing silently for a while, Ling Lan discovered that there wasn't any movement in the room. She also discovered that the incense she had smelled was because there were some burning in the room. She then saw that there was a clear crystal curtain in the room as well. Ling Lan frowned slightly. Could it be that she had gotten into the room of a lady from the Li family? This made Ling Lan become somewhat concerned. Should she leave and go look around elsewhere? After all, Ling Lan was currently dressed as a man. If a man was to get into a lady's room, other than doing perverted things, there was no other reason why a man would enter into a girl's room in the middle of the night. If she was discovered, she wouldn't be able to explain.

Right as Ling Lan was about to leave, she accidentally saw a white blazer hanging on the armrest of a chair. It was the one Li Shiyu had worn when she saw him earlier today. She immediately began to roll her eyes. She couldn't understand why a room where a man was staying in was even more feminine than a room of a woman who pretended to be a man. However, since she knew that Li Shiyu lived there, she no longer needed to leave.

Ling Lan walked deeper into the room and push the crystal clear curtains away without a sound, creating a small opening for her to go in. Ling Lan was then standing at the head of a large bed.

The large bed had a layer of thin cloth, veiling it from prying eyes. Ling Lan slowly lifted up the cloth. Although the person laying in bed could possibly be Li Shiyu, Ling Lan still had her guard up just in case. She was still careful and didn't dare to disturb the person who was in the bed.

When Ling Lan saw the face of the person on the bed, her expression was shaken. Her hand immediately trembled and the cloth instantly fell down, reverting its undisturbed state.

"Li Yinfei?" Ling Lan was stunned. She didn't think that she actually had gotten into a lady's room. She blamed Li Shiyu for tossing his clothes randomly, causing her to misunderstand. Right as she was about to turn around and leave, her body stopped. The face she just saw didn't make her feel uncomfortable like Li Yinfei's face did in the past. It was as though how the face she saw just now was what Li Yinfei's face should be, being able to naturally imprint her face into someone's mind making them unable to forget about her.

The title of woman whose beauty was incomparable was probably meant for the person on the bed. Ling Lan had always thought her looks weren't bad, but compared to the woman in the bed, she decided that she should just stay as a woman dressed as a man.

Ling Lan was already sure that the person on the bed was definitely not Li Yinfei. This also explained why she felt uncomfortable when she saw Li Yinfei's face. Li Yinfei definitely tried to change her face into the person on the bed. However, no matter how much modifications were done, they were still modifications, it definitely couldn't be as natural as the original.

After knowing that it was some lady from the Li family, she lost interest no matter how beautiful the lady was. Right as she was about to leave once again, her expression suddenly changed slightly. Her domain suddenly activated in an instant, enclosing the surrounding area. At the same time, she turned around and tore off the cloth on the bed.

The beautiful woman on the bed had cold sweat dripping down her forehead as she frowned with a pale expression. It was as though she was enduring immense pain.

"Boss, this aura is very familiar." Little Four was like a little hunting dog who had a sensitive nose, he immediately jumped out to warn Ling Lan.

"I know." Ling Lan replied as she bit her lip. Did this bastard used this method to remind her of his existence? Actually deceiving her for this long.

Ling Lan quickly picked up the beautiful person from the bed. She no longer cared to be chivalrous since she knew who it was. She somersaulted and sat behind that person. She held the person softly and let the weak, frail and bony body lean on her chest.

Ling Lan coldly said beside the person's ear, "Hold on. Explain to me everything in detail when this is over."

Perhaps the person had heard Ling Lan's words. The beautiful person's lips began to pucker, showing a stubbornness and unwillingness to give up.

"Take a deep breath and move your Chi." After saying that, Ling Lan held the person's delicate hands. They were somewhat cold but also soft. Ling Lan discovered that the person's hands weren't that much better than her own. Each finger was like crystals. This made Ling Lan hate him even more.

A man more beautiful than her and had hands more delicate and softer than hers. It was too much for her feminine heart to handle. Alright, she should just stay as a pretend man. If it was said that Ling Lan still had thoughts of reclaiming her feminine side before, she no longer had that thought anymore.

Ling Lan also used a Chi flowing technique to send her Chi from the palms of the beautiful person into his body. The beautiful person's small amount of Qi-Jin was working tirelessly to provide his wounded body with some nutrients. When it met with Ling Lan's immense Qi-Jin, it was as though it had found its place and combined with it without a fuss. With Ling Lan's limitless energy as a back-up, the Qi-Jin began to heal the muscles and nerves that were damaged by his spiritual power. At the same time, he began to have a pained expression and began to fiercely counterattack against the spiritual power inside his body.

"As expected, his Qi-Jin didn't want to give up even a little. It's the same as its master." Ling Lan didn't know what to say. His meditative Chi was very soft and was only responsible for constantly providing nutrients to his body. It didn't have any attack mechanism. She didn't think that Chi could become different from the personality of the person. This made her curious about the meditation method for Chi that she learned in her previous life. What kind of meditative method was it?

However, it was also because they had learned the same method of meditation that there was no rejection of Chi, even though their internal energy behaved differently. Otherwise, Ling Lan wouldn't know how to help him.

Finally, the berserk spiritual power within the person's body was pushed out of his body by the meditative method. However, in the brain area, the spiritual power was still in a frenzy. If it wasn't for the fact that she had contained the spiritual power within her Domain, the frenzied spiritual power would definitely have destroyed everything in the room, even the small building that they were in could possibly be destroyed. This type of situation was occuring because the master of the spiritual power had lost control of it.

If spiritual power was not controlled, it was possible that the main consciousness had gone into a coma. However, Ling Lan discovered that her words invoked a reaction from the main consciousness. This meant that the main consciousness wasn't in a coma yet. It was probably stuck somewhere and couldn't get out.

It was because of this situation that Ling Lan carefully released her own spiritual power to get close to the person's spiritual power. She had to know what happened to the main consciousness of the person. It should be known that in the past few years, this person's spiritual power was very stable. A sudden frenzy meant that something had definitely happened.

After feeling a spiritual power that was not its own invading it, the frenzied spiritual power began to crazily attack Ling Lan's spiritual power. Although Ling Lan only sent out a portion of her spiritual power which seemed weak, it was actually fierce and formidable. It did not budge under the relentless attacks of the person's spiritual power. Her spiritual power slowly closed in on its destination which was the person's brain and mindspace.

Chapter 746 - Forgiveness?

Inside the mindscape of the person, there was a thick fog clouding the area completely blocking her vision. After scanning the area for a while, Ling Lan couldn't determine where the main consciousness was. However, Ling Lan wasn't worried as she had another way around it. She controlled her spiritual power to encase her whole body and slowly walk deeper into the fog. This seemingly easy series of action actually made Ling Lan release many droplets of sweat from her body, showing how strained and how much pressure her body was withstanding. It seemed these series of action was not as easy as one would assume.

After searching for more than ten minutes, she finally found a silhouette of a person huddled in a corner near her. Ling Lan was overjoyed and immediately controlled her spiritual power to move herself closer to the silhouette.

The silhouette seemed to have felt something and raised his head towards Ling Lan's direction. Usually, Ling Lan would see a masked Li Lanfeng. However, what she saw was a beautiful face similar to Li Yinfei.

After realizing that Ling Lan was coming towards him, Li Lanfeng's face instantly became pale. His knee-jerk reaction was to actually run away from Ling Lan.

"Li Lanfeng, if you dare to even move a single step away from me, I will destroy you." Li Lanfeng trying to escape from her completely angered Ling Lan, causing her to immediately threaten him.

Li Lanfeng, of course, didn't dare to move again. Knowing Ling Lan, he knew that her threat was not a joke. Although he was shy and unwilling to meet Ling Lan in his current state, he didn't want to upset her too much.

"Heh, why so obedient now." Ling Lan looked at Li Lanfeng coldly. She then took out her hand and took advantage of Li Lanfeng's beautiful face. No, she was actually pinching it to see how it felt…. Ling Lan was definitely a pervert. She forcefully pinched his face, wanting to use pain to tell Li Lanfeng that running away was not a choice.

"Ling, Ling, Ling Lan…" Li Lanfeng who was always joking and confident, was now actually nervous and stuttering.

"Huh?" Ling Lan looked directly at his face with a cold stare. The meaning behind her attitude and expression was that as his regiment commander, she was very angry with the decision he had made. Hence, she took away his liberty to call her by her name.

It was no surprise that Li Lanfeng understood Ling Lan best and knew what her attitude and expression implied. He instantly shouted in sad tone, "Regiment commander!"

"Tell me, why are you hiding here?" Ling Lan looked at the main consciousness that was fully awake and asked irritably.

"Because you were coming, regiment commander." Every since Li Lanfeng heard the news from Li Shiyu in the afternoon, he began to panic. He was filled with anxiety until it was deep into the night, after tossing and turning in his bed for a couple of hours, he forced himself to sleep so he could escape from reality for a while, but couldn't even escape it in his dreams. He didn't want to tell Ling Lan that in his dream, after Ling Lan knew he had lied to her, she used a merciless tone to tell him that their friendship was over. Obviously, he could never accept such an outcome. Thus, he continuously tried to change the outcome of the dream. Unfortunately, he had not succeeded and thus was trapped in his mindscape.

"It seems that you know that your lie isn't forgivable." Ling Lan laughed coldly. "But, will running away solve it Li Lanfeng!?"

Ling Lan's right hand suddenly pinched Li Lanfeng's lowered chin as she looked straight into Li Lanfeng's eyes. The immense pressure made Li Lanfeng weak in his knees. Ling Lan then said in a sharp tone, "I really don't care if my companions have secrets. This is your own personal issue and I'm not interested in knowing. But, I hate it when in the face of problems, people don't actively try to figure out a solution to the problem, but instead run away. I DON'T WANT YOU TO BE THAT TYPE OF PERSON!"

Li Lanfeng closed his eyes in shame and resisted. He shook Ling Lan's right hand off of him. He held his face and said, "I didn't want to either, but I was scared. I was scared that you wouldn't forgive me. I was afraid you would abandon me, afraid it would break our bond…"

"But, I really didn't want to lie to you. Ling Lan, please forgive me, please…"

Li Lanfeng's tears fell down uncontrollably. As a person who had the Phoenix Thrall Fate, life was not easy. He hated his own face and didn't want people to look at him differently just by the virtue of his face. If it was possible, he wanted to completely destroy his face. However he had once made a promise that before he succeeded in changing his fate, he would definitely not do anything about his face. Otherwise, he would lose every resource the Li family gave him…

In the end, he still wasn't decisive enough to make a decision. If he had half of Ling Lan's firmness, perhaps he wouldn't have lived such a humiliating life, so lonely and exhausting.

"Forgive you? What should I forgive you for?" Ling Lan's cold voice rang beside Li Lanfeng's ears. Li Lanfeng immediately opened his eyes. He didn't when, but he actually woke up and his entire body was leaning against Ling Lan's chest.

Although Ling Lan still had coldness in her expression, Li Lanfeng didn't know why he felt a warm feeling instead when he touched his arms and his strong but powerless chest.

"What did you lie to me about? Li Lanfeng, tell me, what do you want me to forgive you for?" Ling Lan leaned on Li Lanfeng's head and spoke softly. The breath coming out of her mouth brush against Li Lanfeng's ears. This made Li Lanfeng feel a sort of electricity that he couldn't describe. He suddenly curled up his body while his face blushed.

"I didn't show you my real face when we formed our friendship. Although I didn't lie on purpose, I still lied to you. I'm really sorry." Li Lanfeng was still a calm individual. Although his current predicament being in Ling Lan's arms was somewhat awkward and uncomfortable, he could still quickly compose himself and return to how he was normally.

"I said it before, I don't care what your secret is. If this face is your secret, I still do not care, so you didn't do me any wrong. So there's no lying or any need for forgiveness. You don't have to apologize to me." Ling Lan told Li Lanfeng her opinion about the matter.

Back then, in the virtual mecha world, the two of them never met face to face. However, Ling Lan knew that this friendship between the two of them was very real. How could she be petty and angry at something like this since they never met with their true face in the very beginning? Furthermore, she also hid a secret that she had never told the public. If she couldn't even tell them her own secrets, she, of course, wouldn't demand her companions to tell their own.

Ling Lan's words made Li Lanfeng's eyes glimmer, "Thank you, Ling Lan."

"Don't thank me. However, I'm curious to know about your relationship between Li Shiyu." If Li Shiyu lived in the Li family's mansion on Planet Azure and Li Lanfeng also lived there, then Li Lanfeng was definitely not just a descendant of a branch family like he had once mentioned.

Li Lanfeng was constantly worried that Ling Lan would break up their friendship because of his fake persona and how he had lied to her. After receiving a decisive answer from her, he no longer had any doubts and was also in a good mood. He told everything to Ling Lan, including his real identity, Li Mulan, the first heir of the Li family. However, as for the Phoenix Thrall Fate, Li Lanfeng didn't say anything about it. It wasn't because he didn't want to tell Ling Lan, but it was because he didn't know how to explain it. He was afraid that Ling Lan would look down on him after he told him… anyone could look down on him, but only Ling Lan couldn't!

Li Lanfeng knew that he was on the urge of drowning. He clung onto his last remaining lifeline and never wanted to let go. Ling Lan was his only friend. He couldn't accept the fact that this person who he acknowledged and trusted would look at him with tinted glasses. This would break him.

Although he knew the possibility of that was low and how Ling Lan was not that type of person, he was still scared and swallowed his words.

Li Lanfeng spoke softly and Ling Lan listened without making a sound. Ling Lan continued to hold Li Lanfeng in her arms. No one wanted to change this and no one was going to change this. It was because Ling Lan was holding Li Lanfeng's hands and was using her Chi to heal his body. Li Lanfeng, on the other hand, was drowning in the warm yet cool aura coming off from Ling Lan. He was enjoying Ling Lan's care and love. This made him feel that he wasn't fighting alone against his own fate where now he had a strong companion supporting him.

After Li Lanfeng finished explaining, the entire room became silent once again.

"Li Mulan! Are you going to be satisfied if I forgive you?" After being silent for a long while, Ling Lan finally spoke, but her tone was even colder and sharper than before.

Is he angry? Li Lanfeng was surprised. His body, that was originally leaning into Ling Lan's arms instantly froze up.

"Then what should I do?" Li Lanfeng didn't know on to respond. What did Rabbit's words mean? Didn't he say that he didn't care? Was he lying?

"What should you do?" Ling Lan's expression was sharp. If it was said that she wasn't angry at the beginning, she was now actually angry. "Li Lanfeng, when you were Li Lanfeng, I never had any complaints with you. But I now have a complaint about Li Mulan."

"Why?" Li Lanfeng asked in shock. Weren't both of these people him?

Ling Lan stood up and pressed Li Lanfeng onto the bed with her eyes with a hint of killing intent, "That's because Li Mulan had forsaken someone."

Li Lanfeng was her most important friend, but Li Shiyu was also a team member who she cared greatly about. Li Lanfeng didn't forsake the others in Lingtian. He only had forsaken his own cousin, Li Shiyu.

Ling Lan's words made Li Lanfeng unable to respond. After a long while, he said, "You're right, I have forsaken Shiyu." Li Lanfeng had pained expression on his face, a face that everyone in the world would adore actually made Ling Lan pity him. However, this couldn't change Ling Lan's opinion about the matter. Ling Lan was someone who was able to endure the allure of beauty.

"But, I don't know how to tell him. Should I just give it to him straight and tell him I am Li Lanfeng, who had lied to him from when he was a child and was not actually as weak as he had thought? I don't know whether or not Shiyu would go insane if he hears that. He had already sacrificed so much because of me…" Li Lanfeng had been thinking about this long and hard about this problem. Now, he was being blamed by Ling Lan and thus felt his defenses around his heart breaking down, so spoke out all he had in his mind in an instant.

"Li Lanfeng, there is only one chance. If you miss this chance, you might actually lose your younger brother if he finds out in the future." Ling Lan warned. She didn't want the Li brothers in her team to break their bonds because of this incident. If it did happen, she would be the one who would have the headaches.

Li Lanfeng's expression froze. After a long while, he replied, "I will consider it…"

Chapter 747 - Purse Snatch!

"I hope next time when I see you again, you will have already resolved this issue." Ling Lan still hoped that Li Lanfeng could resolve this issue in the next few days. She knew that something like this would become more complicated and troublesome as time goes on. Sometimes, cutting the Gordian knot wasn't a bad idea.

Li Lanfeng understood the meaning behind Ling Lan's words and nodded. With his pretty face and obedient expression, even Ling Lan, who always quite firm and serious, couldn't help but loosen up. As expected, when beauty reached a certain level, it definitely could weaken anybody. It was too strong. Although Ling Lan wanted to show Li Lanfeng her firm stance about the situation, she still couldn't endure the the beauty of his face and couldn't continue to force a serious expression on her face.

Seeing that Ling Lan's attitude had softened up, Li Lanfeng knew that the crisis had been averted. He showed a slight smile that could break the hearts of millions.

"Ahhhh, I can't hold on much longer, I'm going to shut down." Little Four, who was watching from Ling Lan's mindscape, saw Li Lanfeng smile and instantly felt his computer chip heating up. He quickly returned to the learning space to check on his computer chip. With fear in his heart, Little Four silently wrote down Li Lanfeng as the most dangerous individual to his computer chip…

"Also, don't smile! You don't look like a man at all." Ling Lan warned him in serious tone.

Wuwuwu, it was actually so beautiful. However, in order to not expose herself as a female and also make sure her companions don't think she was a gay male, she could only stay away from it. Ling Lan was crying internally. If it was possible, she would want to look at handsome men with a smile that could break millions of hearts. It was nice to look at and made her mood better.

"Yes!" Li Lanfeng obediently stopped smiling, but could not restrain himself from smirking a bit.

He knew that Rabbit would have random thoughts after seeing his face. Thus, he could only relent himself to the fact that he was too weak and wasn't manly enough. It was possible that after the vacation, he would be dragged into some ruthlessly training sessions by Rabbit. Rabbit probably wouldn't stop until Li Lanfeng becomes a masculine and muscular man.

"After we go back, you will train. If you don't train until you're fully exhausted every day, then don't even think about getting to the next level!" Ling Lan frowned and glared at Li Lanfeng as she added another order. She was very pleased with his looks, but was not impressed with his weak body constitution. She didn't want her friends to die young, especially if their spiritual power had already advanced again…

If it wasn't for the fact that Li Lanfeng had kept using her Chi meditation technique along with Li Shiyu's free yet precious medicinal agents, it was possible that this advancement would have instantly destroyed his muscles, turning him into a vegetable who would need medicinal agents wherever he goes. It would just be like Ling Lan's previous life where she silently waited for her body to completely crumble and perish.

As expected, it was what he had guessed! The contentness in Li Lanfeng's eyes was even more obvious. He answered "Yes" loudly to show that he understood.

"Also, your spiritual power had just advanced and your body still hasn't gotten used it yet, so rest more and don't make too much movement." Ling Lan was very worried for Li Lanfeng. She now discovered that the person that she should worry about the most was no longer the idiotic Luo Lang. Instead, it was Li Lanfeng who seemed to a sly and manipulative person. No, now he should be called Li Mulan, a two-faced man.

After hearing Ling Lan's caring attitude in his words, Li Lanfeng obediently agreed with him once again.

Seeing such an obedient Li Lanfeng made Ling Lan feel uncomfortable. She was still used to that sly, manipulative and conniving Li Lanfeng.

"If you're alright now, I'm going to go find Li Shiyu." Ling Lan couldn't handle the current Li Mulan and decided to leave in order to calm down. After this incident, she also learned about herself. She was definitely someone who put beauty first… It was a natural for a woman to be entranced by beauty.

Right as Ling Lan sat up, Li Lanfeng also sat up and held Ling Lan's hand with the curtains still closed, "Don't leave yet. I heard from Shiyu that you're here on a mission this time. What kind of mission is it that actually made you come to Planet Azure?"

Seeing the care and concern in Li Lanfeng's eyes, Ling Lan felt embarrassed. After all, the only reason for her to take this mission was to hide the fact that she was following him. Now that she had understood Li Lanfeng's situation as it was his personal matter to resolve and also after him not hiding anything from her after she confronted him about it, it was her who had mistaken.

After feeling sorry for what she did, Ling Lan couldn't refuse Li Lanfeng's care and concern. She laid back down, faced Li Lanfeng and softly spoke about the details of her mission.

"Individual 4 star mission. That's considered an S rank mission. Who knew that the Central Scout Academy on Planet Azure would have such a powerful hidden faction in the academy." Li Lanfeng was a bit concerned and began to think about his time in the academy, hoping to find anything that could help Ling Lan.

"Back then, when you were in the academy, was there anything odd that happened?" Ling Lan also thought of how Li Lanfeng had graduated from that school.

Li Lanfeng traced back memory in great detail, but in the end, he still shook his head and said, "No! Back then the Central Scout Academy was very normal. Each year, the students weren't outstanding. If it wasn't for me, the Central Scout Academy would definitely not be able to break Doha's record from many years ago…" Li Lanfeng spoke with great confidence. Back then, the other scouts who worked with him, although were the strongest of the Central Scout Academy in Planet Azure, they were still could not be compared to those geniuses from Doha Central Scout Academy… He was definitely the main reason why they were able to beat the record that year.

"That's means after your year, it began…" Ling Lan had already received the list of individuals from Planet Azure's Central Scout Academy who got into well-known military academies after Li Lanfeng's year. The year after Li Lanfeng's year, there were two people who got into well-known military academies. In the third year, there were five. In the fourth year, there were 13 people and the fifth year was when it had erupted and reached a total of 37 people. In the sixth year, the numbers dropped but still managed to churn out 31 people. Then in the years after that, the numbers increased every year. Although the increase wasn't much, there would still be higher than the previous year. This was until last year where the number of people who got into well-known military academies and institutions reached 53 people. This number didn't even count those who got into standard institutions.

In 8 years of time, Azure's Central Scout Academy changed from a normal Scout Academy to a well-known Scout Academy in the sector. Their numbers were indeed out of this world.

"It's probably because of your amazing test results that caused that faction to focus on the academy. That's why they began to meddle with Central Scout Academy." Ling Lan quickly determined the cause. This also proved why there was so little people in the beginning and then it suddenly erupted in the fifth year. Five years was enough time for a faction to completely take over a small unguarded Scout Academy.

"It seems that's the case." Li Lanfeng smiled bitterly. He didn't think that his hard work and diligence from back in the day to change his fate actually made his academy become a piece of pie that an unknown faction was eyeing.

"It seems that I need to investigate those who had graduated after you and those who got into well-known military academies. They are all suspects."

"No, you have to start three years before I graduated. Start investigating in the year when my team broke the virtual barrier." Li Lanfeng's eyes flickered with confidence. In that year, the Azure Central Scout Academy raised its reputation in the Federation. Thus, it was possible that from then the faction had already begun making their plans.

"Indeed, Azure Central Scout Academy stunned the entire Federation that year. It is definitely possible that it was from then the unknown faction began to target the academy." Ling Lan was in agreement with Li Lanfeng's suggestion. With a clear target, Ling Lan ordered Little Four to go investigate. Of course, he could only do that after she gets away from this place. Currently, Little Four didn't have any chance to go into the virtual world…

Right at that moment, Ling Lan's expression brightened. She turned around and looked towards the curtains and smirked, "How do you want resolve this?"

Li Lanfeng said in a sad tone, "Does this count as purse snatching?"

"If you're not certain, I can leave." Ling Lan was confident that she could leave without leaving behind any traces.

Li Lanfeng began to think long and hard. Seeing this, Ling Lan sat up and prepared to leave. Although she didn't like Li Lanfeng's hesitation, it was still his own personal issue, as his Boss, she was only reminding him what to do. She couldn't say anymore, otherwise she would be going over a line.

Seeing Ling Lan was about to leave, Li Lanfeng was worried and pulled Ling Lan back again. She wasn't pulled back at all but instead his entire body fell into Ling Lan's arms because he used too much force.

A beauty giving in to her? Ling Lan instantly frowned and held Li Lanfeng. Although Li Lanfeng was beautiful, shouldn't this have been the other way around? She is the woman here!

Bam, the curtains were opened and Li Shiyu had a stunned expression on his face when he saw their current position, "Elder brother…"

Li Lanfeng immediately got out of Ling Lan's arms. After he got up, Ling Lan's dismayed expression was no longer blocked by him. This made Li Shiyu feel even more uncomfortable, "Captain… you, what you are you guys doing?"

Has the world turned crazy? Does their own cold-blooded regiment commander have impure thoughts about his eldest cousin brother's beauty? But, what is the meaning of his eldest cousin brother's compromising pose? The innocent Li Shiyu lost himself in all of this…

"Shiyu!" Li Lanfeng, no, Li Mulan's expression changed from red to green. He hadn't thought about how he would talk to Li Shiyu just yet. He didn't think that he would have to do it so soon. Now he had no choice but to tell him. Li Mulan, who was panicking, held Ling Lan's hand tightly. It was as though he was trying to siphon power from her to have the courage to face Li Shiyu's blame.

Li Shiyu saw his eldest cousin brother not letting go of their regiment commander's hand and concluded that their regiment commander didn't force his eldest cousin brother to do anything… Could it be that his eldest cousin brother gave his consent? Li Shiyu felt terrible. He bit his lip and said, "Let's talk outside."

Sh*t, his warm and soft eldest cousin brother actually was taken advantage of by his regiment commander… Delete all of these images in my head!

Li Shiyu immediately put the thought to the back of his head. Perhaps their regiment commander was there to find him and had only gotten into the wrong room… Huh? Why did that reason seem weird too?

Seeing Li Shiyu's depressed shadow disappearing into the darkness and also Li Lanfeng's unwillingness to let go of her hand even if he died right there, Ling Lan helpless gestured towards Li Lanfeng to come with her. She wanted Li Lanfeng to tell Li Shiyu the truth.

It was so depressing for Ling Lan. It was originally something between the two brothers. Why did she become part of it? As expected, she shouldn't go into rooms randomly. Ling Lan decided that she would never go into someone's room randomly ever again. She wasn't careful and got herself trapped in a complicated situation. If her identity was to be exposed in this manner in the future… Ling Lan frowned. She felt that all of her dignity was lost because of Li Lanfeng.

She should cherish life and stay away from these situations! Ling Lan suddenly had an epiphany!

Chapter 748 - Little Crybaby!

The atmosphere in Planet Azure's Central Scout Academy was fervent. Every student had excitement on their faces because the first person who had brought honor to their academy, Li Lanfeng, was coming to the academy today.

Li Lanfeng led his companions in their seventh year to break through the virtual barrier. They also broke the record that had always been kept by Doha's Central Scout Academy. At the same time, he was the only one to get into the best academy of the Federation, the First Men's Military Academy. These records were not broken by anyone to this day. The Azure Central Scout Academy slowly rose up the ranks and became a well-known Central Scout Academy in this sector starting from his year.

After entering the academy, every Azure Central Scout Academy cadet would be informed of Li Lanfeng's legendary past by the instructors, and thus encouraging every cadet to set their goal to be the next Li Lanfeng. This also made Li Lanfeng be held at a huge importance in the hearts of the academy's cadets when compared to their other seniors. He was even considered to be an idol for some cadets.

In the high-class canteen, many special class cadets had already sat down on their seats. They were somewhat restless and were waiting for the academy to announce the arrival of Li Lanfeng.

Yu Zhengyuan was among them with Little Jin and his other team members sitting beside him. Yu Zhengyuan, who was originally calm and collected, actually had a hint of anxiousness and embarrassment on his face.

"Captain, are you actually nervous?" Little Jin asked worriedly. Although Li Lanfeng was indeed very strong, in his eyes, Li Lanfeng wasn't that much better than his captain. If it wasn't for the fact that they had performed poorly in their seventh year, they probably could also have achieved what Li Lanfeng had achieved.

Hearing this, Yu Zhengyuan took a deep breath and replied, "You don't understand!" Perhaps many cadets believed that Senior Li could reach such a height was because he was lucky to some extent. Only Yu Zhengyuan knew that there was no luck involved in his achievements, and Senior Li completely used his own hard work and determination to bring the world to its knees. This made him see Li Lanfeng more as an idol. The reason was because without Li Lanfeng's teachings, Yu Zhengyuan might not have been able to walk the path he was currently on. It could be said that Senior Li had changed his future.

At that moment, Yu Zhengyuan's memories of when he had just arrived in the Central Scout Academy years ago began to come back to him…

Yu Zhengyuan who was physically weak, small, average talent, quiet, introverted, and was frequently bullied by a few strong and muscular cadets. Additionally, he was also a student of a standard class.

Like always, he was beaten with cuts and bruises all over his body. He struggled as he crawled up from the ground and slowly left the training dojo. He wanted to find a place where no one knew about and cry his heart out.

Back then, he was a real crybaby!

On that life-changing day, he was beaten to the point where he was completely disorientated. Unknowingly, he walked into the forest area of the academy. The forest area was usually the place of the upper graders and forbid the lower graders from entering. Perhaps it was a coincidence or perhaps no one paid attention to him when he walked into the forest area, he successfully walked past every security point and into the deep parts of the forest area. When he found out he had went the wrong way, it was already too late. He had already gotten lost in the forest area.

Back then, he was walking aimlessly in the forest area and couldn't get out for a long time. He was so hungry and afraid. In the end, he was so tired that he fell asleep beside a large tree. He didn't know how long he had slept for, but when he woke up he heard some noises. He walked towards the direction of the noises and discovered that there was an upper grade senior going through their basic physical skills training again and again. Every motion was perfect enough to be printed into a textbook. However, even though the movements were perfect, the senior seemed to be dissatisfied. The senior continued until he was fully exhausted.

Perhaps he was too entranced, or too afraid to be alone in the forest, or perhaps he was curious as to why a senior would focus on training his basic physical skills, Yu Zhengyuan, who usually kept to himself, actually didn't choose to leave. Instead, he watched the senior cadet go through the training again and again, until he was completely entranced by it.

"You've already watched for this long. You should come out now." The senior cadet sat on the floor, but his face was facing Yu Zhengyuan's direction while he spoke in a calm manner. It seemed that from the very beginning, when Yu Zhengyuan had set his eyes on him, the senior cadet had already discovered him. Yu Zhengyuan didn't know why the senior cadet didn't stop him from watching and allowed him to watch for such a long time.

What really confused Yu Zhengyuan was that this senior cadet had a metal face mask covering half of his face. Usually, only people with distorted features would need these types of high-tech equipment to live like a normal person. In order to make changing and examining equipment easier, these people would often don a metal face mask like the one on the senior cadet. He didn't know whether this senior cadet had problems with his eyes, his ears or perhaps his vocal cord.

Yu Zhengyuan walked out from behind the huge tree with a confused look on his face. Yu Zhengyuan's outer appearance wasn't the best because of his fear and the fact that he was hungry, tired and had tear marks on his face.

"You're new here?" This senior cadet in front of him wasn't as cold and proud as normal senior cadets. Instead, he was full of smiles and waved at him. He didn't know why the senior cadet had half of his face covered, but he could still see him smile. Well, the senior cadet did indeed smile at him warmly. This warm feeling was something Yu Zhengyuan would never forget.

Yu Zhengyuan walked towards him without having any guard up. He nodded at the senior cadet, telling the senior cadet that he was right. Before the senior cadet could speak, Yu Zhengyuan's stomach began to rumble, causing him to blush from embarrassment.

"You're hungry and lost. You're really something, actually walking into the forest area…" The masked senior cadet began laugh. He took out a portion of food that he had prepared from his bag and handed it to Yu Zhengyuan. This act of kindness moved Yu Zhengyuan to the point of him bursting into tears. Ever since he entered the academy, this senior cadet was the first person to be kind to him.

"You can cry your heart out!" A warm hand patted Yu Zhengyuan's head. Before the senior cadet said that, Yu Zhengyuan held in his tears in fear that it would irritate the senior cadet. He didn't think that not only did the senior not become irritated, he was even comforting him.

"Waaah…" After receiving the other person's consent, he cried his heart out. It wasn't like the previous times when he hid in a corner and cried without making noise. He cried loudly as though to let out all of the misfortunes and feelings of being wronged from the past.

After letting out all of his emotions, Yu Zhengyuan finally stopped his crying. He began to wipe away his tears as he blushed as he looked towards the senior cadet who treated him warmly with a look of embarrassment.

The senior cadet laughed lightly and poked Yu Zhengyuan's forehead softly, "Did you cry enough? If you did, that's good. Remember, you can't cry anymore in the future. Since we're already in Scout Academy, then we don't have the right to be babies anymore when everything could be resolved by crying."

Yu Zhengyuan nodded with great force, with his eyes glistening.

The senior cadet saw the bruises and cuts from Yu Zhengyuan's face that were still there and asked, "You were bullied?"

Yu Zhengyuan eyes reddened. However, he remembered that the senior cadet told him that he couldn't cry anymore. He could only hold the two droplets of tears in his eyes and said pitifully, "My physical constitution sucks, my talent isn't good and I don't know how to speak to people. I don't know how to talk with the other students… so there might be some misunderstanding. They always come to me and look for trouble."

"Physical constitution, talent and way of speaking are all useless. The most important thing you need to have is capabilities. Then, you won't be bullied by anyone." The senior cadet suddenly became cold. This sudden change in pressure made Yu Zhengyuan become so afraid that he didn't dare to speak.

"Did I scare you?" The senior cadet smiled lightly, "That's the real way of surviving in the academy. If you don't want people to bully you, then become strong for me."

"But my physical constitution…" Yu Zhengyuan had no confidence in himself.

"Bam!" Yu Zhengyuan was flicked on the forehead with great force, "I don't want to listen to your excuses. I just want to see whether or not you've made an effort." The masked senior cadet stood up and put on his clothes with white edges. He was actually a valedictorian… Yu Zhengyuan's eyes showed an expression of admiration.

"When I first enter the academy, I was just like you. I was also weak and bed-ridden. Everyone looked down on me, but I still managed to stand at the highest point of this academy…" After hearing those words, Yu Zhengyuan realized he had already gotten out of forest area.

So strong! He didn't even feel anything and actually was taken out of the forest by the senior. Yu Zhengyuan was pumped. Could he also reach the level of that senior cadet?

He thought about the fact that the senior cadet was practicing basic physical skills. Is that the secret to his success? Although Yu Zhengyuan was quiet and introverted, he had already made a decision that he would not change himself for other people. He began to work hard on his basic physical skills. When other cadets had the chance to learn mid-level to high-level physical skills, Yu Zhengyuan was still practicing basic physical skills. Everyone laughed at Yu Zhengyuan for wasting his time. However, after training for five years, Yu Zhengyuan finally discovered the advantages of training his basic physical skills to perfection. After practicing to its perfect form, basic physical skills could actually increase a person's physical constitution and talent…

After discovering this, he searched through the virtual world for any information regarding it, but he couldn't find anything… He was stunned and knew that that he may have discovered a secret that strong individuals might have hidden away. Being the intelligent person that he was, he also kept this secret to himself and didn't dare to tell anyone. Of course, he also knew that even if he had said something, it was possible that no one would believe him.

If it wasn't for the fact that he saw Senior Li practice the basic physical skills countless of times with the perfect motions and movements, carving it into his memories, or else he might not be able to perfect his basic physical skills within a decade. He also wouldn't know about the otherworldly secret that was hidden within it.

Yu Zhengyuan knew very well that the reason he was able to change his fate in the sixth year, enter the special-level class, acquire the position of valedictorian, and even have a completely different path in the future, was because of the fated meeting back then, with him receiving the opportunity to observe Senior Li and Senior Li giving him pointers about what to do to solve his problem.

That person was the person who brought an incomparable honor to Planet Azure's Central Scout Academy, Li Lanfeng! After knowing who that person was, Yu Zhengyuan saw him as his idol for life. He had already decided that he would definitely get into the First Men's Military Academy and walk the path of his idol. And in the future, enter the 23rd Division and go to the clan Li Lanfeng resided in…

Yu Zhengyuan clenched his fists and thought to himself, "I definitely need to do that to not make Senior Li look bad."

Of course, if he could see him today, he would definitely tell Li Lanfeng that the crybaby from the past was now a tough valedictorian who would never cry again.
