Crossing to the Future, it's Not Easy to Be a Man Chapter 1303

“The three great marshals are the foundations the Federation laid out the moment the military was formed. They can't be overturned. You're daydreaming if you want to overturn their rule.” Cang Lang was ambitious but he wouldn't collaborate with a maniac.

“I'll let them exist in name.” Ling Xiao patted the huge branch beside him lightly and the tree withered. It cracked loudly before disintegrating, turning into a pile of wood shavings. As the tree disintegrated, they calmly landed to the ground.

Cang Lang squinted his eyes at Ling Xiao's blatant threat. Ling Xiao just smiled and looked at him calmly. He was waiting for Cang Lang's reply.

“Okay, I'll listen to you.” Cang Lang's expression constantly changed as he tried to spit those words out. Luckily, he managed to calm down in the end.

“Your reply, I like it.” Ling Xiao smiled and said, “But, I'll have to trouble Brigade Leader Cang Lang to head back with me.”

Cang Lang stared at Ling Xiao for a few seconds. Suddenly, he laughed. “I thought you'll want to see General Ling Xiao's son.”

Ling Xiao replied, “I don't care about Ling Xiao. Why would l be concerned about his son?”

“Really? But he's your rival.” Cang Lang immediately exposed Ren Feiyu's lie.

“I'm the one alive, right?” Ling Xiao gave a devilish smile. “There's no use mentioning someone who's dead.”

“Ling Lan isn't a simple person. If he's given enough time, he might be your obstacle,” Cang Lang said indifferently.

A sharp look flashed past Ling Xiao's eyes. “Are you telling me that I should clear my obstacles beforehand?”

Cang Lang shook his head. “I'm just speaking the truth. You make your own decisions.”

Ling Xiao suddenly smiled. “I remember that you have a good relations.h.i.+p with Ling Xiao. If Ling Xiao knows that you're scheming against his child secretly, he might want to kill you.”

Killing intent appeared on Ling Xiao's face. It only lasted for a split second so no one noticed it, including Cang Lang who was standing opposite him.

“Since he wants to rely on himself and not cooperate with us, he must show us that he has the ability to act alone. If he doesn't, then it's good to let him experience some setbacks. Otherwise, he won't know his limits and understand what's best for him.” Cang Lang remained indifferent.

“Interesting. Breeding poison…” Ling Xiao smiled. “Let's see if Ling Lan is able to escape from Planet General.”

“It looks like you know something.” Cang Lang glanced at Ling Xiao in surprise.

Ling Xiao shook his head. “No, I don't know anything. However, I do know that some are still worried about him so they will definitely do something about him.”

“Are you not of them? I thought you were really afraid of his future.” Cang Lang looked at Ling Xiao curiously. If Ling Lan was given time to grow stronger, he would come back and finish each and every one of them off. He would think that Ren Feiyu was one of the people that was most afraid of Ling Lan's potential. Now, it seemed that Ren Feiyu didn't care about Ling Lan at all. Instead, he wanted to watch a good show.

“Only weaklings will be afraid. Without a good opponent, things will get boring. Don't you think so?” Ling Xiao smiled lightly. He was happy to see this. He could imagine his daughter racking her brain to come up with schemes against him. It would be quite cute.

“It's good to be confident.” Cang Lang praised lightly. He hoped that this wasn't just blind confidence.

While Ren Feiyu regarded Ling Lan as someone unworthy of serious considerations, Cang Lang felt that Ling Lan was a powerful opponent. Once the time was right, he would rise above everyone else.

However, whether Ren Feiyu would suffer losses in the future didn't matter to him. He was just Ren Feiyu's collaborator, not his comrade. He wasn't close enough to warn him out of the kindness of his heart.

“Why don't we have a bet?” Ling Xiao seemed interested in the topic of Ling Lan.

“Bet? On what?” Cang Lang asked in surprise.

“Whether Ling Lan will be able to leave Planet General and leave the Federation,” Ling Xiao replied.

Cang Lang frowned slightly. “What is your bet?”

“I bet that he'll be able to escape unscathed,” Ling Xiao said firmly. He believed in his daughter. If his daughter wanted to leave, no one would be able to stop her unless a G.o.d-cla.s.s operator was sent out. However, since she was still his daughter, the Federation wouldn't send out a G.o.d-cla.s.s operator just to kill her as this would spark public outrage. If no G.o.d-cla.s.s operator was sent to stop Ling Lan, Ling Xiao couldn't think of a reason why she couldn't leave.

“You have so much trust in Ling Lan?” Cang Lang also hoped that Ling Lan was able to escape but he didn't have as much confidence as Ren Feiyu had in Ling Lan. He wondered if Ren Feiyu was speaking the opposite of his thoughts or did he really believe Ling Lan wholeheartedly.

“Let's wait for the outcome. If I win, you're going to help me with something.” Ling Xiao turned and prepared to leave.

Cang Lang frowned. “What is it?”

“I'll tell you when I win. It won't be something you can't do.” Ling Xiao's figure moved further and further away. In the end, he disappeared from Cang Lang's sight.

Cang Lang's expression slowly turned serious. He sighed. “I underestimated him. However, we won't know who will win in the end. Let's wait and see.”

He disappeared on the spot after he finished speaking. As for Ling Lan, he had probably gone to the commercial street while he was talking to Ling Xiao. As a brigade leader from the Flying Dragon Special Forces, that wasn't a place where he should go.

Ling Lan missed the chance to meet her father who had changed his ident.i.ty and body. But, her appearance at the commercial street helped Li Lanfeng and Luo Lang to get out of their crisis.

At first, Li Lanfeng and Luo Lang wanted to drag the couple following them into their domains. However, after dragging them into their domains, the frightened look on the faces of the couple slowly disappeared. They gave a delighted smile instead.

Li Lanfeng frowned slightly. “It looks like you've already discovered our ident.i.ty.” Was there a traitor in Lingtian who leaked their ident.i.ty to the military?

Li Lanfeng always liked to think of the worst scenario so when he discovered that his ident.i.ty was unveiled, he felt that there might be a traitor in his team.

“Nope. The relations.h.i.+p between the Lingtian Independent Army and Lieutenant General Ling is too close. We have to guard against you fully,” the man smiled and replied.

“If it's me, they might betray me. But, he is Ling Lan…” Li Lanfeng immediately toppled his own guess. He didn't trust himself but all his comrades were groomed by Ling Lan personally. He couldn't think of anyone that had the courage to betray Ling Lan.

Ling Lan's invincible image was still instilled deeply in the minds of everyone in Lingtian. No one would be foolish enough to betray Ling Lan if they still wanted to remain alive.

“There must be a source for your information.” Li Lanfeng pondered for a long time before arriving at this conclusion. This was the only possibility as they had only smiled after they sensed his domain.

Li Lanfeng had sharp eyes. He noticed all the hidden expressions on the two people's faces.

It must have something to do with their domain concept. Li Lanfeng came up with this conclusion based on the expressions of his opponents. It had to be said that Li Lanfeng's critical thinking ability was amazing. His prediction was very close to the truth.
