Crossing to the Future, it's Not Easy to Be a Man Chapter 1236

Chapter 1236 A Tragedy!

Just like that, Qi Yaoyang came and left quickly. Before he left, he didn't forget to ‘pat' his unfilial son, Qi Long, on the head a few times to relieve his anger. Qi Long on the other hand didn't react and just endured it. This image gave Han Jijyun, Zhao Jun, Li Yingjie and the others an odd feeling.

However, not making a scene was still a good thing. Everyone just a.s.sumed that Qi Long knew that he was in the wrong.

Yang Mingzhi and the others all respectfully watched as Qi Yaoyang left. Qi Long on the other hand stayed in the control room to avoid being disciplined by his father again.

Seeing only Luo Chao and Han Xuya beside him, Qi Long daringly decided to turn on his communicator. Then, Ling Lan's indifferent face appeared on the virtual screen.

“Boss.” Luo Chao and Han Xuya shouted in surprise.

In order to make sure Boss's whereabouts were not discovered, they didn't even dare to contact Boss. Ever since they went in different directions, the girls hadn't communicated with Ling Lan either.

Ling Lan saw Luo Chao and nodded, “Luo Chao, you did well. In the future, when you have a chance, get closer with Jialan. Only when Jialan fully accepts you, will you be able to combine with it and become one. You will then be able to do whatever you want.”

“Yes, Boss,” Luo Chao responded while blus.h.i.+ng. The joy in her eyes could not be held back. She finally could show her worth and help Boss Ling Lan.

“Xuya, how's piloting an ace mecha going?” Han Xuya had broken through her limit a short while back, becoming a rare female ace mecha operator, and thus receiving the Federation's recognition. However, what Ling Lan wanted from Han Xuya did not amount to just being an ace mecha operator. She wanted to teach the altered Qi meditation exercises to Han Xuya and Luo Chao. She hoped that one day they could create miracles for the Federation like becoming the first female imperial operator or the first female stars.h.i.+p commander.

Luo Chao and Han Xuya were destined to never reach the highest level of G.o.d-cla.s.s operator because of their own talents and abilities, even if Ling Lan were to use the Qi meditation exercises to help them. Even Ling Lan, who had cheat codes, only had the opportunity to advance, it was not a certainty yet. Whether she could succeed in the end would depend if fate was kind to her. Moreover, Qi Long, Luo Lang and others who were qualified, only had a single chance to advance into G.o.d-cla.s.s, and the probability of that happening was very very low. If Ling Lan hadn't helped them, even the chance they had might not exist.

The advancement into G.o.d-cla.s.s was too difficult and unnerving. This was also why in the population of the trillions, the Federation only had no more than twelve G.o.d-cla.s.s operators at the same time. Currently, it was the generation when the Federation had the most G.o.d-cla.s.s operators in all of its history. It was also the generation where the Federation was at its strongest.

After hearing Ling Lan's question, Han Xuya immediately replied, “Boss, Qi Long said I have already reached the level of a standard ace operator. If I want to become an elite ace, I won't be able to achieve that through training. I must go through battles and acquire experience in order to grow.”

Ling Lan raised her eyebrows and turned towards Qi Long. “Oh? So you are supervising Xuya's training?”

Qi Long unconsciously rubbed his nose and replied, “Um Boss, everyone was busy and I was the only one not busy. That's why I taught Little Sister Xuya.”

“Busy? Zhao Jun and the others told me that during this time with the transport fleet, they were so bored they were molding…” Ling Lan looked at Qi Long calmly. “Who should I believe?”

“They probably had free time on their hands after the battle.” Qi Long put on an honest smile indicating he didn't know anything.

“Is that so?” Ling Lan half-smiled. Her gaze seemed to have seen through Qi Long's thoughts.

“It's definitely like that,” said Qi Long with determination. His cheekiness seemed to be comparable to Li Lanfeng's beauty.

The conversation between the two of them made Han Xuya feel odd. Luo Chao seemed to have discovered something. She put her hands over her mouth to try to hide the smile that was beginning to form.

After seeing Luo Chao trying to stop herself from laughing, Qi Long, who was originally calm, now had the back of his neck all red.

Although Han Xuya didn't know what was happening, she still managed to realize that Qi Long was troubled by Boss's questions. After thinking that she had been bothering Qi Long quite a lot recently, she wanted to help him. She injected, “Boss, why did you contact us today? Is there something going on?”

Ling Lan turned towards Han Xuya and smiled with her eyes for a second, “Jialan thought there was something wrong, so it contacted me surrept.i.tiously.”

As Ling Lan's attention was redirected, Qi Long was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief. He looked at Xuya with a grateful look that was filled with feelings that only he knew about.

Han Xuya responded to Qi Long's look with a bright smile, stunning Qi Long by the sheer beauty of her smile. Then in response, he subconsciously gave an honest smile which made him look even more dumb.

‘Who knew that the black-bellied Elder Brother Qi Long would also have a day like this. It really is quite sad.' Luo Chao couldn't look at such a dumb Qi Long in the eye. She could only turn towards Ling Lan in the virtual video call and exchanged a look that only the two of them knew about.

“Jialan? What did she think happened?” For the clueless Han Xuya, she was curious after hearing Ling Lan's words.

“Well, it was because someone almost fought with his father. Jialan was afraid that they would destroy her home in the midst of their fight,” Ling Lan said while glancing at Qi Long, who had returned to normal, with a mocking tone in her voice.

“So it was because of elder brother Qi Long.” Han Xuya finally realized it and laughed out loud after remembering Qi Long's expression from a while ago.

Qi Long rubbed his forehead helplessly. His image was completely destroyed.

“No wonder Elder Brother Qi Long didn't say anything when General Qi smacked him a few times. You definitely told him to not go against General Qi.” Luo Chao finally understood why Qi Long was so obedient in the end.

“No matter if it is military rank or actual relations.h.i.+p, General Qi has the power to discipline Qi Long,” Ling Lan said nonchalantly. “He has to endure it even if he doesn't want to.”

Ling Lan's words made Qi Long put his head down in shame. Even Boss stood by his father's side on the matter, what else could he do? He could only let it happen.

“However, that should be the limit of his obedience. In the future, when we're out fighting wars, that won't be the case. Lingtian Independent Army will do whatever we need to do.” As Ling Lan's tone changed, she became cold as ice.

“Yes, Boss.” Qi Long was full of energy. He stood up straight once again. In reality, Boss always took his side.

At that moment, everyone who sent off Qi Yaoyang returned to the control room. After seeing Ling Lan on the virtual screen, they instantly shout in joy, “Boss!” “Commander!”

“Zhao Jun and Li Yingjie ultimate level day training for three days,” A cold glare from Ling Lan crossed Zhao Jun and Li Yingjie, who were the only ones to call her ‘Boss'.

“Argh!” Zhao Jun and Li Yingjie put their hands on their head and cried out in agony.

The others all laughed softly as they saw this. In order to make sure Lingtian wasn't too personal, their commander forbade them from calling him Boss in a public s.p.a.ce.

“Qi Long, fives days of ultimate level day training.” Qi Long was still in schadenfreude. He didn't think such terrible luck would befall him. Moreover, his punishment was more severe than Zhao Jun and Li Yingjie's punishment.
