Chapter 1155 Baseline!
After the two visitors left, Xie Yi and Luo Lang came to sit on the sofa.
Xie Yi immediately opened his mouth and asked, “Boss, do you think that he is telling the truth?”
Ling Lan replied calmly, “Most probably.”
“Why are they postponing it?” Li Yingjie frowned. He couldn"t understand the decision.
“It is so that they can have more time to collect evidence against me.” Ling Lan gave a cold smile. “Exciting times are ahead of us. Everyone will stand opposite of us. My plan is completely messed up!. d.a.m.n it.” Ling Lan seethed with gritted teeth. She quickly downed the whole cup of tea before slamming it heavily on the table.
The teacup started to crystallize into shards of ice before it exploded in a loud burst. The shards of ice in the air quickly disintegrated into nothing as if it was never there.
Everyone at the scene felt their heart pumping heavily. They knew Boss was really infuriated with the current situation.
Boss seemed cold and heartless but in actual fact, it was hard to anger him. No matter how unhappy he was, he would at most glare at you. They rarely saw him expressing his anger in this manner.
Luo Lang had been with Ling Lan since they were young children so he remembered the last time Ling Lan got this furious was during the battle with Leiting in the military academy. That was when the other party tried to cripple Qi Long. Because of this, their opponent had to lie in the healing pod for an entire year, missing the military a.s.sessment that year. To Ling Lan, this was a small punishment.
Luo Lang and the other three people prayed for the wellness of their opponents. Once Boss was angry, no one could survive in one piece.
Ling Lan got indignant because the people in the military touched her bottomline.
If there weren"t any spies in Base Nebula, Ling Lan wouldn"t mind their cheap tricks as much. She just wanted to clear all the spies in the base so that Base Nebula would be a clean home for her comrades which was quite important to her.
Yet, during such a crucial time, the people from the military were scheming against her, causing her plans to be disrupted again and again. Things were just going on the upswing but now, everything was in a mess again.
“No wonder my father said that one has to be in the highest position before one could do what one wants.” Ling Lan finally understood the pain of being led on by other people. If the military hadn"t disrupted her, all the spies in Base Nebula would have been caught within these few days.
Ling Lan took a deep breath and calmed down.
Luo Lang and the others suddenly felt the pressure on them being lifted.
Ling Lan touched her forehead when she saw the careful gaze of the four people. They probably thought that she was furious just now. Actually, she had a good temper. She rarely lost her temper. Why couldn"t anyone realise that? She pouted in her mind as she thought about their image of her.
Ling Lan was confused. She rarely smiled but she rarely got angry too. Why were her friends all so afraid of her? When she looked at them, they would jump up in fright. She was like a predator while they were her prey.
While Ling Lan was immersed in her own thoughts, one of the four people finally spoke up.
“Boss, what are we going to do for the next three days?” The innocent Luo Lang got pushed out from his mindscape.
The calm personality ran away the moment he saw Ling Lan got angry.
Ling Lan regained her senses and replied indifferently, “We"ll wait. Wait for them to come and challenge us.”
“Challenge?” Li Yingjie, who was hiding behind the sofa, jumped up excitedly
“You"re becoming more and more like Qi Long.” Xie Yi couldn"t help but complain.
The moment Qi Long heard the word ‘challenge", he would get excited just like how Li Yingie was acting right now. Xie Yi still remembered the times when he was dragged by Qi Long to have a fight with him. Before Qi Long entered the domain stage, he was still able to fight on par with him but now, he could only take some punches in the face before calling it a day.
The times when he agreed to fight with Qi Long were because he wanted to gain a deeper understanding of his domain concept. If not, he wouldn"t torture himself… he was not a m.a.s.o.c.h.i.s.t…
“Didn"t Li Lanfeng tell us that we came to help Boss with his challengers?” Li Yingjie"s proud expression almost made Xie Yi vomit out blood.
What an honest boy. He had been fooled by Li Lanfeng so many times but yet, he still wholeheartedly believed in him.
“Fine, you can handle the challengers tomorrow.” Xie Yi didn"t know what to say.
Li Yingjie smiled brightly as he replied, “No problem. I"m more experienced than you when it comes to these matters.”
Xie Yi hugged his head helplessly and leaned towards Luo Lang.
He had nothing to say. He used to think that Li Yingjie was an irritating b.a.s.t.a.r.d but he was actually a stupid and innocent little boy.
Luo Lang saw Xie Yi leaning over from the corner of his eyes. His gaze suddenly turned cold. Just as Xie Yi"s head was about to touch his shoulder, he moved forward.
Luo Lang"s action was too sudden and silent, so Xie Yi didn"t notice it. He fell sideways to the ground.
Just as he was about to hit the floor. Xie Yi got into a plank position and pushed his body up. He didn"t fall to the ground but it was still embarra.s.sing for him.
Xie Yi looked at Luo Lang unhappily.
Luo Lang"s gaze turned pure again. He looked at Xie Yi innocently. It was as though he didn"t know why Xie Yi suddenly fell from the sofa.
Xie Yi touched his nose with a blushed face. He couldn"t blame Luo Lang. How could he blame someone who didn"t know what was happening? Plus, this blur Luo Lang was quite cute too, right?
