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

Chapter 1173 - A New Start?

Chapter 1173 A New Start?

Around two hours later, Tang Ningyu and Mu Chaoran’s force of presence finally turned stable.

Ling Lan retracted her domain.

The two of them opened their eyes almost simultaneously. They looked at Ling Lan with a complicated expression. Should they hate him or thank him? He destroyed their dream but also helped them to kill the devil in their hearts. Due to his help, they were able to become titled domain realm formidable warriors.

Domain realm masters were very powerful but the normal domain realm masters were nothing in the domain world. Only titled domain realm formidable warriors had say in the world.

“Thank you.” In the end, Tang Ningyu still thanked Ling Lan. After all, he still received help from Ling Lan after he burst out in anger towards her.

“There’s no need to thank me. This is your fate. I just happened to be part of it.” Ling Lan didn’t take the credit.

“You are the one who helped us become titled domain realm formidable warriors. I’ll remember it forever. You’re right. Our identities were fake. No matter how true our feelings were during that moment, they would be fake in the end,” Mu Chaoran said earnestly.

Mu Chaoran suddenly stood up and walked towards Ling Lan. He saluted and introduced himself, “Major General Ling, I’m Colonel Mu Chaoran from the Flying Dragon Special Forces. Nice to meet you.”

Everyone was puzzled by his actions. Hadn’t he introduced himself already?

Mu Chaoran put his hand out and continued, “Since we revealed our real identity, are we able to become friends from now on?”

Tang Ningyu immediately understood Mu Chaoran’s actions. He looked at Ling Lan. He was in a dilemma. In the end, he just sighed. He didn’t follow what Mu Chaoran did.

‘Once some things are gone, they can never come back.’ Tang Ningyu liked Pei Shaoyun, not this cold and dominating Major General Ling.

They were not the same person.

Ling Lan looked up slightly and saw Mu Chaoran’s resolute gaze. She raised her eyebrows in surprise. “I thought you like Pei Shaoyun.”

“Yes, I like Pei Shaoyun. I’ve never met someone as pure and sincere as him. I want to protect him. I don’t want him to be tainted by the evils in this world. I don’t believe that the Pei Shaoyun I like is fake. If you exist, it means that he exists. I believed this firmly.” This was Mu Chaoran’s real thoughts.

“Mu Chaoran, Colonel Mu, your obsession towards Pei Shaoyun is too strong.” Ling Lan’s expression was cold. She didn’t have any intention of being friends with Mu Chaoran. Friends couldn’t be made so easily. They must be responsible for each other, and Ling Lan didn’t want to take on this obsession.

“This is my business. Major General Ling, I just want to know if it’s possible.” In the end, Mu Chaoran chose to be stubborn.

“Colonel Mu, take care of yourself.” Ling Lan ignored the outstretched hand, took her teacup and sipped her tea.

As Gu Dongyang noticed that the conversation was ending, he stood up hurriedly. “This way, please.” Lifting the teacup meant that Ling Lan wanted to chase the guest away.

Mu Chaoran knew that he couldn’t get what he wanted. However, he didn’t mind. He was still satisfied to know that Pei Shaoyun was Ling Lan.

Soon, Mu Chaoran and Tang Ningyu left.

After they walked out of the building, Tang Ningyu finally opened his mouth, “Chaoran, why did you want to become friends with Major General Ling?”

“I don’t know. I just know that I’ll regret it if I don’t say it. I think you will too.”

Tang Ningyu snorted. “How is that possible? So what if Ling Lan is strong? He is not Pei Shaoyun. That means that he is nothing to me.”

Mu Chaoran frowned. He thought for a while before finally saying, “I hope so.”

“But, you broke the rules of the Flying Dragon Special Forces to help Ling Lan. Our superiors will definitely punish you when we go back.” Tang Ningyu was worried about Mu Chaoran.

“There’s nothing to worry about. I’ve been punished before.” Mu Chaoran was used to getting punished.

“Are you trying to destroy all the good feelings our superiors have for you?” Tang Ningyu felt helpless.

Mu Chaoran shrugged. He didn’t care. He turned his head and forward with a steadfast attitude. When he noticed that Tang Ningyu couldn’t see him anymore, an indescribable emotion flashed past his eyes.

“Actually, Mu Chaoran is not bad.” Luo Lang had a good impression of Mu Chaoran.

Xie Yi frowned. “Not bad? The people from the Flying Dragon Special Forces are all arrogant bastards.”

Luo Lang was puzzled. “Really? Why do I think that Tang Ningyu and Mu Chaoran were not arrogant at all?”

“They were talking to Boss.” Xie Yi took the chance to lick Ling Lan’s boots. Then, he continued, If we were the ones talking to them, they wouldn’t be so respectful. They would act all high and mighty to show off how noble the Flying Dragon Special Forces is.”

“Really?” Luo Lang looked at Ling Lan.

Ling Lan saw the hand signals Xie Yi was giving her secretly. He looked so funny when he pleaded for her help.

“Hmm...” Ling Lan made a soft sound. She glanced at Xie Yi as she used her gaze to ask him what he was willing to offer in exchange for her help.

‘Anything’ Xie Yi nodded firmly. He would do anything.

“That’s right.” Ling Lan wouldn’t disappoint her companions. She didn’t feel that the people from the Flying Dragon Special Forces were too good either. The simple-minded Luo Lang shouldn’t interact too much with them. This must be why Xie Yi was concerned.

As expected, they needed to worry more when they had an innocent friend.

“I didn’t expect the people from the famous Flying Dragon Special Forces to be like that. How disappointing.” The innocent Luo Lang got fooled by his companions. His good impression of Mu Chaoran and Tang Ningyu disappeared.

It was fun working together! Ling Lan and Xie Yi exchanged glances with each other.

Li Yingjie stood at the side in a daze. Were the people from the Flying Dragon Special Forces so bad?

Gu Dongyang pretended that he wasn’t involved in the conversation.

As the sun set, Ling Lan packed her things and prepared to leave tomorrow morning. Suddenly, her communicator vibrated. She was stunned.

She pressed the button and a virtual screen appeared in front of her. A familiar figure was displayed on the screen. It was her father, Ling Xiao.
