Chapter 1174: 1174
“If I don’t call you, you won’t call me, huh . ” Ling Xiao seemed to be a little angry . He looked like an ignored puppy that was about to bite you
“I thought that you’ll be very busy,” Ling Lan replied calmly .
If she had guessed correctly, her father was currently busy cleaning up the ends of his deal . That was why she didn’t contact him immediately .
“I will always have some time to communicate with my daughter no matter how busy I am . ” Ling Xiao looked at her with a disapproving gaze .
Ling Xiao was willing to put aside all his work to spend some time with his daughter .
“Fine . What do you want to talk about?” Ling Lan felt speechless at her father’s suffocating and loving behaviour .
“Xuyang told me what happened at the conference . You did a good job . ” Ling Xiao was full of smiles as he complimented his daughter .
‘Sob . Father, can you control yourself? Your expression is too obvious . It will ruin your male idol image . ’ Ling Lan felt embarrassed . Was she really so good?
“But the rewards…” Ling Xiao’s expression turned normal again .
Ling Lan sensed something . “Did the three marshals make an offer?”
“Ling Lan, seems like you guessed it . ” His daughter was so capable . She made him feel inferior .
“Of course, I would have guessed it . You are one of the ten great generals as well as the general of the 23rd division . Now, your child is a lieutenant general who has an independent army . The three great marshals won’t be able to accept this . ” Ling Lan was very aware that the three great marshals wouldn’t allow the Ling family to have two generals . Otherwise, the Ling family would be unstoppable in the military world . This was forbidden in the military .
In the past, the entire Ling family only consisted of Lan Luofeng and Ling Xiao . They had no background to depend on . This was the reason why the military was very willing to give Ling Xiao the rank of general . No matter how good his reputation was, he wouldn’t be much of an influence in the military world if he didn’t have a good background .
However, it was different now . If his daughter became a lieutenant general and a commander of an independent army, she would become Ling Xiao’s most powerful right-hand man . Ling Xiao would be powerful enough to topple the current reign . The three great marshals were afraid of this .
“In the past, it’s impossible but now, it might be different . ” Ling Xiao’s gaze was sharp . If his daughter deserved it, he wouldn’t let anyone take it away .
Ling Lan thought for a moment . “Did you do something?”
Ling Xiao smiled . “Not much . It’s just an exchange of benefits . They want to use my hand to remove the corrupted officers so that the various factions will be unhappy towards me . That way, I will be left all alone to fend for myself . ”
“I paid such a huge price to play into their hands so I think that I should receive some consolation for that . ” Ling Xiao raised his eyebrows and gave an evil smile .
“Why did you exchange it for an independent army?” Ling Lan frowned . Her father had better options than to have an independant army under him .
“It was the most reasonable choice . It was something they were willing to accept too . ”
“Father, you’ve already discussed with the three great marshals . ”
“It wasn’t much of a loss on my side . Everyone got what they wanted . Everyone is happy . ” Ling Xiao smiled . He was willing to give up some interest for the sake of his daughter . So what if he had to offend some people . If he wanted to climb to the highest position and protect his family, he eventually would have to do these things anyway .
“Go back and wait patiently for the rewards . If you hear anything unpleasant, pretend that nothing happened . Focus on your own business . ” Ling Xiao reminded Ling Lan seriously .
“I understand . After I go back to Base Nebula, I’ll enter into closed-door meditation . ” Ling Lan smiled . “My injuries are not fully healed so it’s reasonable that my health got worse due to the long journey and the multiple accusations I received . ”
Ling Xiao laughed out loud . The tiredness on his face disappeared . “That is a good excuse . ”
