Chapter 974 Living Harmoniously In Peace

However, Ye Shao and Dibi Luya purposely disregarded Yuan Mulin. They didn’t invite him over. This was even worse than humiliating him verbally. Yuan Mulin’s face turned red in shame.

Ling Lan didn’t move from her seat. She gave a half-smile and looked at Ye Shao. “Are you not planning to invite Leader Yuan?”

Yuan Mulin looked at Ling Lan gratefully. Ling Lan was helping him. If Ling Lan didn’t mention anything, he would have to bear with the humiliation. His mercenary team would be trampled upon by the other mercenary teams if he said anything to gain the last bit of dignity he had left.

Yuan Mulin was not the only one that was grateful to Ling Lan. The members of Shadow Cat were grateful that she helped them keep their pride. Because of this, Little Tao also decided that owing his life to Ling Lan was worth it.

Ye Shao’s expression froze. After a moment, he slapped his forehead and pretended to be sorry. “Leader Yuan, look at me. Sorry about this. Please come and have a chat together.”

Yuan Mulin looked at Ling Lan unconsciously. Unknowingly, he started following Ling Lan.

Ling Lan smiled and stood up. She walked towards the area where Ye Shao, Dibi Luya, Jiang Bizhi, and Ma Yizhe were at.

Ye Shao, Dibi Luya, and Jiang Bizhi narrowed their eyes when they saw this. They got more vigilant of Ling Lan.

Luo Yi lowered his voice and said to Liu Furong, “Your regiment commander is not simple.”

“If he is simple, he wouldn’t be able to become a regiment commander of a mecha clan at the age of 21,” Liu Furong replied with a proud expression.

“Look at how proud you are.” Luo Yi drank some wine. His gaze turned unfocused. “At first, I thought that he achieved all these with the help of his father.” Ling Xiao was one of the ten great generals so he definitely had the ability to let his son become a regiment commander.

“When he became out regiment commander that year, no one knew he was Ling Xiao’s son.” Liu Furong smiled. He remembered how everyone looked down on Ling Lan when they first knew that a young man was going to be their regiment commander. They thought that he would fail too. Furthermore, a lot of people had tried to help them from their dark place before, but none of them succeeded except for a 21-year-old man.

No one knew that this gentle-looking person was actually cold-blooded and ruthless. Their regiment commander was someone who would kill you if he felt that you had no hope. Liu Furong remembered Ling Lan’s brutal methods in the past and felt cold sweat all over his body. The time when he advanced to the domain stage, he really felt that his regiment commander didn’t plan to let him stay alive.

“Oh right. You haven’t told me how you enter General Ling Xiao’s 250 Ace Mecha Clan.” He couldn’t understand why that powerful person in the 3rd Division let him off.

Liu Furong sneered. He slowly told Luo Yi what had happened to him over the years. At first, he was still under the control of that person after he went into 250 Ace Mecha Clan. His opportunity to escape from his grasp came when Ling Lan appeared.

While Liu Furong was talking to Luo Yi, Ling Lan was met with many questions. The other leaders tried to dig out more information from her, but she just smiled most of the time and didn’t reply to them. Hence, the other leaders couldn’t do anything but stare at her. As for Yuan Mulin, they just ignored him all the way. Yuan Mulin didn’t make his presence known too. He just remained quiet until the end.

Ling Lan returned to her mercenary team and sat with her team members.

Han Jijyun whispered, “Boss, what are the backgrounds of all those mercenary teams?”

“Grey Bat and Red Maple are strong teams. Their leaders are strong too. Ma Yizhe seemed rash but every step he took is precise. Jiang Bizhi has a tight mouth too. Besides Shadow Cat, the other mercenary teams have their own motive for accepting this mission.” Ling Lan said calmly, “There must be something going on.”

“Isn’t Ma Yizhe’s mercenary team a new mercenary team?” Luo Lang was surprised. Ma Yizhe gave him the impression that he was rash and wealthy. He thought that Ma Yizhe created his mercenary team because he was bored and wanted to have some excitement in his life.

“Of course not.” Xie Yi explained hurriedly, “His team members knew what to do the moment Ma Yizhe looked at them. How could this be a team that just got created? Well, unless they knew each other since they were young just like us.”

Luo Lang remembered how fast the members of Mighty Sky reacted when they almost had a fight just now. Their cooperation and cohesiveness were not awkward nor faked at all. He nodded.

“Your regiment commander is a monster,” Luo Yi exclaimed. Ling Lan just had a short chat with the leaders but he managed to understand each mercenary team well. He felt that if more time was given to Ling Lan, he would be able to surpa.s.s Regiment Commander w.a.n.g. He might even become the second Ling Xiao.

“They always say that a Ling Xiao only appears every thousand years. If that is the case, our regiment commander is someone who appears every ten thousand years.” Liu Furong felt that Ling Lan would become even stronger than Ling Xiao, as he was even more brutal and vicious than Ling Xiao.

Mighty Sky, Shadow Cat, and Little Four Mercenary Team had some conflict on the first day but the entire trip was relatively peaceful. Everyone lived harmoniously. They all lived in the same warehouse so they saw each other every day. After some time, they got familiar with each other too.

As for Little Tao, whose full name was Tao Ying, he would come to the Little Four Mercenary Team whenever he was free. He was 13 years old so he became good friends with w.a.n.g Qi who was 16 years old and Liu Aihua, who was 10 years old. The little burden, Liu Aijun, would always follow behind the three of them. The four youths always stayed beside Chang Xinyuan and Luo Yi. They would observe them as they did maintenance for the mechas.

Because of Tao Ying, the Little Four Mercenary Team and the Shadow Cat Mercenary Team had a good relations.h.i.+p with each other. Lin Zhong-qing took pity on the old mercenaries so he would occasionally give them some leftover parts. The old mercenaries from Shadow Cat were thankful.

The team members from Red Maple and Grey Bat always had meals and played games together. Soon, they became brother teams and formed an alliance among themselves. The people from Mighty Sky and Poison Teeth would sometimes join them for their meals and games. All in all, the six mercenary teams had a harmonious time, at least on the surface.

Finally, the merchant fleet arrived at the Chaotic Lands.

The people from Shadow Cat heaved a sigh of relief. They were afraid that the fully loaded merchant s.h.i.+ps would meet intergalactic pirates along the way. If that was the case, they might not be able to go back home alive.

On the other hand, the other mercenary teams were more nervous when they landed.

Ye Shao and Dibi Luya, who always had smiles on their faces, turned serious too.

President Tu appeared at the entrance of the warehouse. He cupped his hands and bowed at them. “We’ll have to trouble you for the coming week.”

As expected, the merchant team didn’t hire them to protect the s.h.i.+ps during the journey to and fro the Chaotic Lands. They hired them to protect them when they were in Chaotic Lands.
