1416 Rats From The Sa Sewer?
“What should we do then? Shiyu can’t leave. The resource we lack the most in the Lawless Lands is dication, and he is required to solve this problem.” Li Lanfeng’s heart pounded furiously for an instant. However, he quickly regained his composure. He then logically explained why he suggested keeping Shiyu back and sending Luo Chao away.
“If you think it’s fine for them to be like that, you can keep them here. However, I still suggest making so arrangents to prevent any undesirable outco from happening...” Li Lanfeng appeared to have understood Ling Lan’s worries, so he altered his suggestion.
She stared into Li Lanfeng’s dark eyes and said sternly, “I’ll ask Luo Chao for her opinion first.”
For this kind of matter, Ling Lan wouldn’t just listen to one side of the story. Li Shiyu was important but to Ling Lan, Luo Chao was equally as important.
Li Lanfeng’s gaze flickered. He pondered carefully before suggesting, “Shiyu is young and easily embarrassed. When I talked to him, it took a lot of effort to dig that out from him. I even beat around the bush for quite a while. I think that Luo Chao is the sa too. When you ask her about this, don’t be too direct. Luo Chao might be too shy to say the truth or she might sprinkle in so lies that may affect your judgnt.”
“Really?” Ling Lan half-believed in his words. She never had any good lady friends in her past life. This lifeti, because of special circumstances, she didn’t have such lady friends too. Luo Chao and Han Xuya knew that she was a woman but they still treated her like their brother. They cared about her, trusted her, and admired her. However, they would never spill their hearts out to her.
“You’re her fiancé. How can she tell you these things?” Li Lanfeng reminded Ling Lan about her identity. He felt that it still wasn’t right so he volunteered. “If you ask Luo Chao about this with your identity, she might think that you’re going to punish her. Why not let have a chat with Luo Chao?”
Li Lanfeng thought that Ling Lan would accept his suggestion but instead, she shook her head and said, “It’s alright. I will take note of it. Let deal with Luo Chao.”
Ling Lan knew that Li Lanfeng suggested this out of goodwill. He didn’t want her relationship with Luo Chao to beco awkward. But, that was if she was a man. In reality, she was a woman, and Luo Chao knew this. Hence, if she went to talk to Luo Chao about it, Luo Chao wouldn’t misunderstand her intention. She would also believe that Luo Chao would reply to her truthfully.
Ling Lan’s reply was unexpected so Li Lanfeng’s earnest expression froze for a mont. Fortunately, he was good at controlling his expression so he gave a smile soon after. “That’s good. I hope that we can solve this perfectly. I really don’t want my stupid little brother to get hurt. What a pity...”
Li Lanfeng let out a forlorn sigh when he said this.
Li Lanfeng was stingy with his emotions and liked to calculate everyone, but Li Shiyu was still his younger brother after all. How could he throw this kinship away so easily? Plus, Li Shiyu treated him sincerely for so long. Even a rock would turn warm from all these years of care and concern.
Initially, Ling Lan wanted to talk to Luo Chao after she finished settling the affairs at the frontline.
However, she didn’t expect sothing huge to happen.
A four-way royale battle suddenly occurred on the frontline, and the Kamoda battlefield was uncontactable. When Ling Lan and Li Lanfeng heard about this, they threw these small matters at the back of their minds and focused on tackling this sudden war.
When they heard that the other three lords sent more troops into Kamoda, Ling Lan decided to send a new cha clan into the area too.
Ling Lan suspected that this sudden battle royale and the fact that her n were uncontactable was a sche plotted against her.
“You are going to Kamoda? No way.” Li Lanfeng instantly rejected Ling Lan’s decision when he heard it.
“It’s too weird that they’re uncontactable. I need to see what’s happening personally. I suspect that this might be a trap,” Ling Lan said calmly.
“That’s a cha battle. What can you do if you go there? Unless you have a god-class cha, you won’t change anything.” Li Lanfeng had thought of this probability too, but so what? How could he let Ling Lan risk himself?
“Although it’s not a god-class cha, it’s still an imperial cha that has been modified by Chang Xinyuan, and that’s enough for ,” Ling Lan said. If it was in the central regions, there would be no chance for her to enter a battlefield secretly with her cha, much less make a difference in the grand sche of things. However, this was the Lawless Lands. There were many ace chas here but very little imperial chas. God-class chas were even rarer. The modified imperial cha Chang Xinyuan made for her wasn’t the best in the Lawless Lands, but it was enough for her to be on top of the food chain here.
“Do you really think that there are no god-class chas here?” Li Lanfeng smiled coldly. “Based on my analysis, there are at least two to three god-class chas in the Lawless Lands.”
“I know.” Ling Lan didn’t deny it. She felt the sa way too.
“Why do you still want to go then? What if you et a god-class cha?” Li Lanfeng was furious. He felt that Ling Lan was taking an unnecessary risk. He was fooling around with his own life.
“They won’t appear,” Ling Lan replied indifferently, “Li Lanfeng, based on your intelligence, you should have co to this conclusion. Why aren’t you trusting your judgnt but instead, afraid of the illogical possibilities?”
Li Lanfeng opened his mouth to refute her point, but he couldn’t co up with one . He was usually able to remain heartless and cold-blooded. As long as the possibility of success was more than half, he dared to put even his comrades in danger. But, he just couldn’t bear letting Ling Lan be in any forms of danger. However, how could he tell him that? He knew that he would lose his mind when facing Ling Lan, including the calmness and viciousness a strategist should have.
“I’ll go with you.” Since he couldn’t stop Ling Lan, he would go with him. Even if there was danger, he would protect Ling Lan.
“The rainbow palace needs you.” Ling Lan would not allow Li Lanfeng to follow her. The battle royale at Kamoda was important but the rainbow palace was important too.
“It’s alright to hand the rainbow palace over to Shiyu, Luo Chao, and Han Xuya for a few days.” Luo Chao and Han Xuya managed to learn so managent skills under Ling Lan’s training. As for Li Shiyu... he dropped this subject halfway through, but still as the second-in-line inheritor of the Li family, he had been specially grood before. He should know what he needed to know. Li Lanfeng knew that Li Shiyu was actually quite good at overall managent. Well, at least compared to Li Yingjie, he was much better at it.
Li Lanfeng always suspected that all the scheming and calculative genes of the Li family had congregated in him during his generation. Maybe that was why his two younger brothers were so naive.
Fortunately, they still had their intelligence genes. If they focused on a certain direction, they were still able to beco the cream of the crop of that path. This was the only feature that allowed Li Lanfeng to still believe that they were his younger brothers.
The firmness in Li Lanfeng’s gaze and his unrelenting attitude gave Ling Lan no choice but to agree with him.
Ling Lan knew that once Li Lanfeng made a decision, he wouldn’t change it.
Huh? Why was his bad habits so similar to hers? Was this what they ant by rats from the sa sewer scurry together?
