It Is Not Easy To Be A Man After Travelling To The Future 791 Regret!

"Does Young Master Lan think that the battlefield is a place for him to mess around?" He Xuyang was agitated. Once Young Master Lan goes on the battlefield, he would only be able to come back three years later and three years is enough time for innumerable of life-or-death situations to occur. No one knew what could happen within this period of time. Also, on the battlefield, even with his domain stage physical skills, it would never compare to the power of mechas.

He Xuyang couldn't sit still anymore. He took the doc.u.ments and rushed into the general's office.

Ling Xiao was looking through various doc.u.ments when he heard someone requesting to come into his office. "Come in!"

The door opened automatically. When he heard the hurried footsteps, he knew that it was his chief of staff from the rhythm of his footsteps, Ling Xiao raised his eyebrows in doubt. 'He Xuyang is always calm and composed. Why is he in such a hurry today?'

"General!" He Xuyang shouted as he walked into the office.

"What is the matter?" Ling Xiao smiled like always. His expression didn't change because of He Xuyang's serious look.

"Here is a certain mecha clan's application for them to enter the battlefield." He Xuyang pa.s.sed the doc.u.ment in his hand over.

Ling Xiao took the doc.u.ment but he didn't look at it. He placed it at the side and then put down his pen. He leaned back in his chair and held his hands together above his chest. He smiled at He Xuyang.

He Xuyang was surprised. His general didn't look at the doc.u.ment.

After remaining silent for a moment, Ling Xiao asked in a low voice, "Did Ling Lan apply to go on the battlefield?"

After preparing for so long, it was the right time for Ling Lan to act. Ling Xiao understood his daughter very well. In order to ensure that her comrades would grow up quickly, she would apply to go on the battlefield in the last year of the promise with her mother. The innumerable life-or-death situations on the battlefield would help her comrades to learn quickly and mature faster. Ling Lan was a smart person. She would not give up this chance.

He Xuyang calmed down when he heard Ling Xiao's words. Because of his worries about Ling Lan's safety, he was unable to keep his composure. However, as Ling Xiao's confidant, his capabilities and mindset were almost perfect, so when he realized that his general had everything under control, he regained his composure.

"General, you knew that Young Master Lan wants to go on the battlefield." This was not a question. It was a statement. Ling Xiao didn't look at the doc.u.ment because he knew about Ling Lan's decision long ago.

"I have been preparing for this moment." When Ling Lan asked for two more years from Lan Luofeng, Ling Xiao already knew that she wanted to go on the battlefield.

"But the battlefield is a very dangerous place. Shouldn't we let Young Master Lan just do some exploring missions first? If not, we can even send him to clear intergalactic pirates and let him gain some experience that way." He Xuyang suggested what he thought were better alternatives.

"No need. They did well during the previous land clearing mission. They have already gotten enough experience." Ling Xiao rejected He Xuyang's suggestion directly.

He Xuyang looked at Ling Xiao's indifferent expression and finally understood why he gave the land clearing mission to 250 Ace Mecha Clan that early. He wanted to acclimatize Young Master Lan to war-like situations. That meant that Ling Xiao had made preparations long ago. Even if Young Master Lan didn't send in his application, Ling Xiao might have given him the orders to go on the battlefield anyways.

He Xuyang didn't know whether he should criticize his general for being too harsh on his own flesh and blood or should he admire his love for the nation. He wanted his son, Ling Lan, to grow up quickly and become a capable soldier of the Federation. General Ling Xiao constantly threw obstacles at Ling Lan in order to help him grow faster.

He Xuyang didn't know that Ling Xiao didn't want his daughter to go to the battlefield at all. Because of the blunder he made in the past, his beloved daughter had to live as a man for so many years. If he could, he would use all kinds of means to let his daughter leave the military. Unfortunately, his daughter valued her friends very much. To ensure that her friends were able to survive when she leaves, she rejected Lan Luofeng's suggestion and requested to continue protecting them for two more years. He and Lan Luofeng felt guilty towards their daughter so they had no choice but to agree to her.

Of course, Ling Xiao couldn't deny that deep down, he was very proud of his daughter. His daughter didn't lose to any man, whether it was her physical skills or her mecha piloting skills. Even in the Flying Dragon Special Forces, no one was on par with his daughter. Ling Xiao was in a dilemma. On one hand, he couldn't bear to see his daughter suffer. On the other hand, he wanted to create the best conditions for his daughter to succeed in whatever she wanted.

Ling Xiao closed his eyes. He buried his reluctance and worry in his heart. When he opened his eyes again, he was now the General of the 23rd division, not Ling Lan's handsome father.

Ling Xiao calmly took the doc.u.ment and opened it. He read through it slowly and calmly. He saw that 250 Ace Mecha Clan was indeed on the list. He grabbed a pen with his right hand and firmly signed his signature on the bottom of the doc.u.ment. He used so much force that the pen stabbed through the doc.u.ment.

"Arrange a time for all the approved mecha clans to gather three days later. They will head to the battlefield then." Ling Xiao threw the doc.u.ment at He Xuyang and gave his order.

"Yes, general!" He Xuyang quickly took over the doc.u.ment.

Then, Ling Xiao placed his head down and continued looking at other doc.u.ments. He Xuyang opened his mouth, wanting to say something. In the end, he just sighed and left the general's office. He knew his general well. He was not someone who changed his decisions easily. Young Master Lan would be going on the battlefield, nothing could change this.

When the door closed, the pen in Ling Xiao's hand turned into dust. He was expressionless as he just stared at the doc.u.ment in front of him blankly. He couldn't understand what was written on it.

'In the end, I still lost control of my emotions!' If he hadn't used his domain to maintain the shape of the pen, it would have turned into dust when he was signing the doc.u.ment. Ling Xiao stared blankly at his office ceiling and gave a bitter smile. He was not a good soldier. He was just Ling Lan's father. He was not a good general for the 23rd division.

The moment he signed his name, he started regretting it.

'Lan'er! You must come back safely!' Ling Xiao's feelings were complicated. In the end, these were the only words he could say.

"Boss, the order is here. Our application had been approved." Little Four had been observing the headquarters intently so he received the new information the moment the data had refreshed.

Ling Lan heaved a sigh of relief when she heard this. She knew that her father would agree to her request but there was still her mother lingering around. Her mother had Second Lieutenant He around her and their relations.h.i.+p was very good.

That's right, her father always got caught by her mother because he always had a mole beside him!
