It's Not Easy to Be a Man After Travelling to the Future

Chapter 1162 Easy To Deal With?

Little Four bared his teeth to display his anger. Ling Lan glared at him and signalled for him to look at the title of the book.

Little Four stuck out his tongue when he saw the cover. After he teased Ling Lan, he quickly shrunk into a corner and no longer dared to act so flippantly. Sob, he didn’t do it on purpose. He was in too much of a hurry just now so he made a mistake.

Li Lanfeng was listening attentively to what Ling Lan was saying. When she mentioned about seducing the other party and making them pounce on him, his eyes lit up.

“Do you understand what I’m saying?” Ling Lan asked with uncertainty.

She didn’t even know what she was saying. Would Li Lanfeng understand her? action

“Yes, I understand perfectly.” Li Lanfeng smiled. The smile was so bright that Ling Lan’s heart started to waver.

Fortunately, Ling Lan from birth always had a face that couldn’t display emotions which stopped Li Lanfeng to realise how seductive his face was against Ling Lan. Thus, Li Lanfeng would have to continue suffering from his requited love.

“That’s good.” Ling Lan was satisfied with her explanation. He was able to understand her even when she didn’t understand her own words.

Ling Lan felt extremely happy that she was being so knowledgeable about love. She read through more books about love and started teaching Li Lanfeng about love. Whether it was useful or not didn’t matter to her.

All in all, Ling Lan wanted Li Lanfeng to slowly confess to the person he liked. She felt that if Li Lanfeng continued pestering the lady, with the help of his face and her fabulous love advice, he would have a high chance of success.

Even she wouldn’t be able to handle it if Li Lanfeng kept seducing her with that face of his.

Li Lanfeng smiled happily as he listened to Ling Lan’s advice. After Ling Lan had satisfied her ego and left the virtual world, he retracted his smile.

“Chase slowly and naturally... all these are useless. The only useful thing is seduction. Ling Lan, no matter how straight you are, I’ll make you gay. I can’t be the only one going to hell. That is unfair, especially after receiving such good advice from you.” Li Lanfeng gave an evil smile.

Li Lanfeng immediately left the virtual world. If he wanted to seduce Ling Lan, he had to wait for her to come back first. The most important matter now was to handle the small fries in Base Nebula. He had already ringed them dry of their intel about the organization behind them, leaving them essentially useless to him now.

He and the rest of Lingtian didn’t realize that there were so many spies in Base Nebula. Without this baiting plan, they would have never known how broad the influence of the spies was. In one of the mecha clans they were suspicious of, more than half of the soldiers were spies.

No... spy was not the best word to describe them. These people were soldiers from the Federation who got lured or brainwashed by their enemies. Hence, turning into spies who leaked out various information of the Federation.

However, in the overall big picture, these people were just a small matter. The worst thing was the people who were controlling them behind the scenes. Based on the clues they found, many departments in the military were involved. It seemed that some higher authorities were part of their enemies too.

This wasn’t something they could handle. That was why they didn’t expose that one powerful faction. They were only in charge of keeping an eye on the grass-root factions. As for the more powerful faction, Li Lanfeng knew that Ling Lan had asked his father for help.

There were some things Li Lanfeng wouldn’t ask. No matter how safe the virtual world was, there might be loopholes. Some things shouldn’t be talked about.

‘Prince Ling won’t be fighting in the challenge. What is happening?’ This was the thought going through most people’s heads.

“Is it because he is incapable of fighting? Or is he confident in the abilities of his subordinates?” The people that were anticipating the fight with the Ling family and the Lan family were puzzled.

“This Ling Lan seems like a smart person.” This was the comment by some of the more intelligent people.

“He made a good move. The Ling family is able to retreat now. Interesting.” The mastermind behind the chess game felt pity but excited.

The outcome was just like what they had expected. It was no surprise that Ling Lan was a no-show. The mastermind was confident in the plan. He didn’t get flustered when something unexpected happened. Instead, he felt excited. He felt that he could finally play a chess game that was worth playing.

“However, there will be some changes in the conference.” The assistant beside him reminded. He hoped that the man wouldn’t forget about their hundred years old plan because of his playfulness.

“It’s alright. That sly old fox, the First Marshal, isn’t someone we can fool. Even if the Ling family and the Lan family are at loggerheads, he will still team up with Ling Xiao if he is able to benefit from the cooperation.” The mastermind sneered. “Lan Yu doesn’t care about his family. If not, he wouldn’t have sent his grandsons to the battlefield when four of his sons had died there. In the end, none of his grandsons came back.”

“But he managed to get what he wanted because of that.” The assistant respected the First Marshal for his ruthlessness.

“That’s why I said that we can’t fool him.” The mastermind frowned. “Lan Yu has no weakness. Everyone thought that the Lan family was his weakness but it was just a shield he pushed out. He could forsake it anytime he wants. Among the three great marshals and the ten great generals, he’s the hardest to deal with.”

“Who’s the easiest to deal with then?” The assistant was curious.

“Everyone thinks it’s Ling Xiao.” The mastermind smiled. “Maybe it is because he has too many weaknesses. Anyone of them is enough to give him a fatal blow. But, because of this, no one knew which weakness they should make use of. However, in reality, he is another kind of figure that is hard to deal with.”

“So, he is not easy to fool too?” The assistant didn’t expect this conclusion.

The mastermind thought for a moment and sighed. “From the looks of it, yes. Even if we found so many weaknesses, we can’t find the chance to really harm him.”
