1430 Old Monster?“Or rather, the previous chief of the Flying Dragon Special Forces?” Ling Lan didn’t give in.

Lord Qian furiously stretched his hand out and grabbed Ling Lan’s collar. Simultaneously, Ling Lan’s gaze turned icy. She tapped in Lord Qian’s direction with her right forefinger lightly.


The movement happened in an instant but Li Lanfeng, Luo Lang, and Lord Dui could see the action clearly. In their eyes, it even looked a little slow.


This wasn’t because their ability was on par with Lord Qian or Ling Lan. It happened because the two of them used the time concept when attacking. If they wanted you to see it, you would see it. If they didn’t plan to show you, you wouldn’t be able to see it at all.


Li Lanfeng and Luo Lang understood why Ling Lan did it but the reason behind Lord Qian’s decision provided much food for thought.


Then, Li Lanfeng and Luo Lang felt a powerful force of presence surging towards them. In that instant when it was about to engulf them, it slid past their body and didn’t injure them.


Both of them knew it happened because Ling Lan was protecting them.


It was unexpected. Surprisingly, Ling Lan still had the energy to protect them when she was fighting with a god-realm master. Luo Lang looked at Ling Lan with respect and admiration. As for Li Lanfeng, he looked at her with respect and worry.


In the end, he still dragged Ling Lan down.


In the real world, the battle between Lord Qian and Ling Lan seemed extremely calm. If someone came in now, they might think that the two of them were just gesturing in the air silently. They wouldn’t have guessed that a single mistake would cause one of them to get injured seriously and might even result in death.


Lord Qian attacked with his full strength but the other party managed to withstand it without any changes in his expression. Shock slowly grew in his eyes, but the confusion was growing at a larger rate.


“Who on earth are you?” Lord Qian squinted and asked coldly. He was staring at Ling Lan, trying to see if he could see through her.


“Haven’t you already guessed my identity?” Ling Lan replied calmly.


“You are him but not him.” Lord Qian stared at Ling Lan seriously. He wanted to detect something from her eyes.


“So what if I am or not?” Ling Lan’s tone was like a pool of stagnant water. There were no ripples in her tone.


Li Lanfeng frowned slightly. Ling Lan had always been cold and heartless, but the coldness she exuded had never been this strong. It felt as if the current Ling Lan wasn’t the real Ling Lan.


“I didn’t expect your existence to be like this. There is really nothing impossible in this world.” Lord Qian seemed to have understood something.


But, Ling Lan didn’t reply to him. She just stared at Lord Qian coldly.


“Maybe we can have a good chat.” Lord Qian’s ‘chat’ meant the same thing as before but this time, his attitude had changed drastically.


At first, he asked Ling Lan for a chat because he was interested in her. He was looking down on her and talking to her as if he was bestowing her a favour. Now, he treated Ling Lan as an equal, someone he could discuss matters with.


“Don’t you want to end the mess in the Lawless Lands?” Ling Lan went directly to the point.


“The other lords won’t listen to me,” Lord Qian answered calmly.


“Each for their own master. If you touch their interest, it’s understandable that they won’t listen to you.” Ling Lan wasn’t surprised. “But, you can’t deny that some of the lords are your men, for instance, this one.” Ling Lan looked up at Lord Dui who was standing beside Lord Qian.


Lord Dui smiled and didn’t say anything.


“He is my half-disciple.” Lord Qian didn’t hide this fact. All the other lords already knew about his relationship with Lord Dui. Even if he didn’t say it now, Ling Lan would be able to hear it from the other lords. In that case, why not reveal it directly?


“The other lords that invested in the Mecha Scavenger Alliance might not be your men but they are your collaborators,” Ling Lan continued.


Lord Qian wasn’t surprised by that claim as it was pretty obvious. If not, why would he allow those people to join him? He smiled and asked, “What else?”


“Your opponent should be a god-realm master from Caesar. I want to know which lord he is.” Ling Lan looked up and stared at Lord Qian.


Ling Lan’s gaze was too sharp. The smile on Lord Qian’s face was wiped away and his gaze turned cold. “Why do you ask?”


“If he isn’t a god-realm master, you can kill him easily. A god-class mecha master can be killed too if he doesn’t have his god-class mecha with him.” Ling Lan tilted her head and pondered. “If you are this tolerant, the other party can only be a god-realm master.”


“Why did you guess that he’s from Caesar?” Lord Qian remained silent for some time before finally opening his mouth.


“Besides Caesar, I can’t think of another nation that can do this. Well, there’s still the Federation. That’s you, Lord Qian.” Ling Lan couldn’t help but smile when she said this. The cold aura around her disappeared and the entire atmosphere around the room turned… refreshing?


Lord Qian frowned slightly. He looked at Ling Lan thoughtfully but didn’t say anything.


“It’s time to reorganise the Lawless Lands.” Ling Lan didn’t care about his actions. She quickly revealed her motive thereafter.


“Reorganise?” Lord Qian smiled. “The moment we do something here, Caesar will get the news and the Federation will know too.”


“We just have to make sure Caesar doesn’t know,” Ling Lan smiled as she said.


“You’re being optimistic.” Lord Qian shook his head in disappointment. His gaze turned indifferent. “But, it’s rare to meet someone from my country so I’m in a good mood. This time, I will pretend that I know nothing. However, the next time, you won’t be so lucky.”


Lord Qian lowered his head and took his teacup from the coffee table at the side, signalling the end of the conversation.


Ling Lan wasn’t dejected. She stood up swiftly and flicked her sleeves. She said calmly, “I’m sure that Lord Qian has a list of the spies from the other nations. I anticipate our collaboration.”


Before Lord Qian could reply, Ling Lan’s figure started disappearing slowly in front of Lord Qian. Li Lanfeng and Luo Lang also moved and left the tower.


Lord Dui was slightly furious when he saw how impolite they were. “This bunch of impudent brats… Let me teach them a lesson.”


“No need. You’re not Lord Gen’s match.” Lord Qian stopped him.


Lord Dui was dumbfounded for a split second. Then, jealousy appeared in his eyes.


“Don’t let your jealousy affect your rationale. Lord Gen isn’t as simple as you think…” Lord Qian raised his head and looked at the roof. “Maybe there’s an old monster here.”


The moment he looked into Lord Gen’s eye, he had the feeling that if he really killed Lord Gen, he wouldn’t be able to live the next second. At his stage, he knew clearly that this wasn’t an illusion.


Old monster? Lord Dui’s eyes cleared up. Lord Qian told Ling Lan that he was just a half-disciple but in Lord Dui’s heart, Lord Qian was his master. He was someone he respected and regarded as a god.


Maybe this was the only way to explain why Lord Gen was able to fight with Lord Qian when he was only around 20 years old.
