It’s Not Easy to Be a Man After Travelling to the Future Chapter 1172

Chapter 1174 - Something For Everyone

“If I don’t call you, you won’t call me, huh.” Ling Xiao seemed to be a little angry. He looked like an ignored puppy that was about to bite you

“I thought that you’ll be very busy,” Ling Lan replied calmly.

If she had guessed correctly, her father was currently busy cleaning up the ends of his deal. That was why she didn’t contact him immediately.

“I will always have some time to communicate with my daughter no matter how busy I am.” Ling Xiao looked at her with a disapproving gaze.

Ling Xiao was willing to put aside all his work to spend some time with his daughter.

“Fine. What do you want to talk about?” Ling Lan felt speechless at her father’s suffocating and loving behaviour.

“Xuyang told me what happened at the conference. You did a good job.” Ling Xiao was full of smiles as he complimented his daughter.

‘Sob. Father, can you control yourself? Your expression is too obvious. It will ruin your male idol image.’ Ling Lan felt embarrassed. Was she really so good?

“But the rewards…” Ling Xiao’s expression turned normal again.

Ling Lan sensed something. “Did the three marshals make an offer?”

“Ling Lan, seems like you guessed it.” His daughter was so capable. She made him feel inferior.

“Of course, I would have guessed it. You are one of the ten great generals as well as the general of the 23rd division. Now, your child is a lieutenant general who has an independent army. The three great marshals won’t be able to accept this.” Ling Lan was very aware that the three great marshals wouldn’t allow the Ling family to have two generals. Otherwise, the Ling family would be unstoppable in the military world. This was forbidden in the military.

In the past, the entire Ling family only consisted of Lan Luofeng and Ling Xiao. They had no background to depend on. This was the reason why the military was very willing to give Ling Xiao the rank of general. No matter how good his reputation was, he wouldn’t be much of an influence in the military world if he didn’t have a good background.

However, it was different now. If his daughter became a lieutenant general and a commander of an independent army, she would become Ling Xiao’s most powerful right-hand man. Ling Xiao would be powerful enough to topple the current reign. The three great marshals were afraid of this.

“In the past, it’s impossible but now, it might be different.” Ling Xiao’s gaze was sharp. If his daughter deserved it, he wouldn’t let anyone take it away.

Ling Lan thought for a moment. “Did you do something?”

Ling Xiao smiled. “Not much. It’s just an exchange of benefits. They want to use my hand to remove the corrupted officers so that the various factions will be unhappy towards me. That way, I will be left all alone to fend for myself.”

“I paid such a huge price to play into their hands so I think that I should receive some consolation for that.” Ling Xiao raised his eyebrows and gave an evil smile.

“Why did you exchange it for an independent army?” Ling Lan frowned. Her father had better options than to have an independant army under him.

“It was the most reasonable choice. It was something they were willing to accept too.”

“Father, you’ve already discussed with the three great marshals.”

“It wasn’t much of a loss on my side. Everyone got what they wanted. Everyone is happy.” Ling Xiao smiled. He was willing to give up some interest for the sake of his daughter. So what if he had to offend some people. If he wanted to climb to the highest position and protect his family, he eventually would have to do these things anyway.

“Go back and wait patiently for the rewards. If you hear anything unpleasant, pretend that nothing happened. Focus on your own business.” Ling Xiao reminded Ling Lan seriously.

“I understand. After I go back to Base Nebula, I’ll enter into closed-door meditation.” Ling Lan smiled. “My injuries are not fully healed so it’s reasonable that my health got worse due to the long journey and the multiple accusations I received.”

Ling Xiao laughed out loud. The tiredness on his face disappeared. “That is a good excuse.”
