After three days, the battle royale had finally reached its end.
In the end, all the lords suffered wins and losses in this battle royale, but one lord’s result stood above all. With the newly appointed Lord Gen, Ling Lan, having such great performances despite participating for the first time, it brought great shock to the lords. When comparing the losses they had sustained from the battle to the benefits they had reaped from the battlefield, she definitely had won out.
Like previous battle royales, after it was over, people would sit down and negotiate benefits and compensation. However, these diplomatic matters that required brainpower weren’t Ling Lan’s responsibility.
Li Lanfeng, who had just woken up from his long rest, was immediately kicked out of the rainbow palace before he could have a serious talk with Ling Lan about his family rule.
With him as main representative and Zhao Jun as his assistant, they went to Lord Qian’s territory to fight another battle royale but with brains against the representatives sent by the other lords. There were no weapons or smoke, but it was more compelling than those types of bloody battle royale and more mentally draining.
After sending out Li Lanfeng, Ling Lan couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. In reality, she was also afraid that Li Lanfeng would find her and talk to her about it. Although Ling Lan didn’t believe that Li Lanfeng was actually willing to marry a man… her. Plus, as he was a very intelligent man, he would definitely use this opportunity to ask for some weird request. Before she could confirm what Li Lanfeng wanted, Ling Lan decided that she wasn’t going to give Li Lanfeng that chance to ask for something in return.
Ling Lan liked to make preparations for anything she did. The situation back then forced Ling Lan to make the decision to treat Li Lanfeng’s injuries. However, it didn’t mean that it would cause her to be at a disadvantage.
“I will definitely find out what you actually want.” Ling Lan smirked in delight, basking in the glory that she had beaten Li Lanfeng in a fun game. After sorting the steps she needed to take to overcome this predicament, she looked down at the black object on her palms that was ‘given’ to her by the district mayor of the 11th District.
“Luo Chao!” Ling Lan turned around and shouted towards Luo Chao who was idling on the sofa.
“I’m here, Boss.” Luo Chao got beside Ling Lan in just one step.
“I need to go for closed door meditation for a while. You and Xuya will be responsible for the Gen district in the time being. If you need to fight, go find your brother. If you need to discuss something, find Shiyu,” ordered Ling Lan.
“Ah? Oh!” The unexpected arrangements made Luo Chao gasp in surprise. Then, she calmed herself and took her orders like a textbook soldier.
“Luo Chao, you and Xuya are already very strong.” Ling Lan seemed to have sensed the unsettled feeling and uncertainty in Luo Chao’s heart. She reached her hand out and patted the back of her head, “You have to believe in yourself.”
“But…” It was the first time Luo Chao was responsible for such an important role. So, naturally, she wouldn’t have the experience too. At first, she was jealous of her brother being a regiment commander, but she quickly appeased herself by knowing the fact that the only reason why her brother was a regiment commander of a clan was because Boss had partnered him up with a skilled deputy who made up for his flaws. Her brother’s job in that clan was to be the main fighter of the mecha clan.
“Don’t pressure yourself too much.” She patted her head lightly. Ling Lan with a gentle smile on her face said, “If you need help, don’t be afraid to ask your comrades, they are your comrades for a reason.”
Luo Chao gradually calmed down and she nodded with great force, “I understand, Boss.”
Then, she felt her head get patted lightly again. “You can do it!”
Ling Lan’s soft and gentle voice flowed into her ears, but there was no one standing in front of her. Luo Chao knew that Ling Lan probably went to have her closed door meditation session. She didn’t know where Ling Lan had gone, but she didn’t need to know. She only knew she needed to protect the entire Gen district until Boss returns.
Below the rainbow palace, in the vast swamp area, Ling Lan found a suitable area for closed door mediation and before she knew it, she was instantly swallowed up by the ground.
In a dark hole, Ling Lan slowly opened her palm to reveal the black object that was sitting in her hand.
“I didn’t think that this star system would have something that originated from Mandora… Mandora, just what type of star system is it? I really want to see it for my own eyes.”
“Ling Lan, are you ready?” As she was imagining what would be like to live in the Mandora star system, Number One’s voice steadily rang in Ling Lan’s mindscape.
