Chapter 1444 What Do You Want To Know .

Night came . Elder Father sat beside a campfire alone, listening to the warm crackling of wood chips being burnt . His hands were holding a metal skewer with a slab of meat over the fire, waiting patiently until it was cooked to perfection .

Oils from the fat of meat dripped into the fire, creating a crisp sizzling sound that echoed through the campsite . Everyone in the vicinity turned their heads to take in a waft of perfectly cooked meat . Hunger pangs started wrecking through their body, but they didn’t dare to walk over there to request for some because someone they were deathly afraid of was already there .

“You’ve come at just the right time . The meat is perfectly cooked . ” Elder Father revealed a gentle smile in a certain direction .

Something flew out from that direction and towards Elder Father .

Elder Father caught the item with one outstretched hand . He turned his gaze towards the item in his hand to see that it was a bottle of liquor, a rare one at that . It was white liquor specially brewed by the Federation’s military .

“Thank you!” Elder Father’s eyes lit up in excitement . He adeptly opened the bottle and downed a huge gulp .

“This sures brings back memories . ” Elder Father wiped his mouth with his sleeve and let out a satisfying sigh .

“It has been more than ten years, right?” Following this sentence, Ling Lan walked out of the darkness slowly .

“Hmph, why do you say that?” Elder Father smiled mysteriously .

“Before I came here, I met Lord Qian . ” Ling Lan found a seat beside Elder Father casually and sat down .

Elder Father paused for a moment, showing a pondering expression . Then, he continued drinking another gulp of the liquor before putting down the bottle slowly . “Did he ask you to come here?”

“No, he didn’t tell me . ” Ling Lan calmly took the metal skewer from Elder Father’s other hand and pulled it towards her body . She blew at the barbecued meat that was giving off an enticing fragrance .

“How did you find me then? Especially when the signal is blocked . ” Elder Father was confused .

“So, you know who Lord Qian is…” Ling Lan raised her head and smiled ambiguously .

Elder Father didn’t reply to her . He just stared silently at the warm campfire . He seemed to be in the midst of recalling something .

Seeing this, Ling Lan wasn’t in a hurry to rush him . She continued blowing the piece of meat in her hand . When it wasn’t scalding hot, she took a bite to have a taste of the delectable meat .

‘Huh, it’s actually not bad . ’ Ling Lan’s eyes lit up with surprise . Within a few seconds, she finished 2 . 5 kilograms worth of meat in her hand .

She had fought in a mecha battle before this and after that, she helped Li Lanfeng with his injury . These took up much of her stamina so her appetite got a little larger than usual .

When Elder Father noticed that Ling Lan really liked his barbecued meat, he took another few more skewers of meat and placed them over the campfire to cook .

One of them focused on barbecuing while the other was focusing on eating . Although no words were exchanged, the atmosphere between them was harmonious .

Elder Father felt that the time was about right so he begrudgingly put down the liquor bottle . He slashed in the direction of the meat and a few deep cuts soon appeared on the meat . Then, he flicked his fingers and the seasoning got sprinkled onto the meat . Soon, the fragrance of the meat engulfed them . These perfectly cooked meats were ready to be eaten .

Elder Father passed the barbecued meat to Ling Lan . After passing it to Ling Lan, his hands instinctively went towards the bottle of liquor and he took a huge gulp from it .

He wiped the corner of his mouth forcefully and said, “You can ask now . What do you want to know?”

Ling Lan took a bite of the meat . She slowly chewed it a few times before opening her mouth . “You probably came to the Lawless Lands with Lord Qian, right?”

Elder Father looked at Ling Lan in surprise . “Why do you say that?”

“No matter how much the Federation trusts someone, they wouldn’t leave him without any scrutiny . Moreover, the Lawless Lands is a special place . They wouldn’t completely trust anyone with it,” Ling Lan said calmly .

“You’re really sent by the Federation . They’re probably starting to suspect the Lawless Lands, right?” Elder Father seemed to be on guard .

“Are you sure?” Ling Lan lifted the corners of her lips slightly .

“The ability and equipment of your mecha team can only be provided by the Federation or Caesar . Your looks… If Caesar wants to form a mecha clan that was full of ace mecha masters with this many pseudo imperial operators and a few imperial operators, it would still be quite difficult for them . ” Elder Father had good eyesight . The moment these people acted, he knew their level .

“Lord Qian has really betrayed the Federation?” Ling Lan asked .

“Yes and no . ” Elder Father sighed deeply .

“What do you mean?”

“If the Federation didn’t restrain his men, he wouldn’t have any worries anymore . ” Elder Father gave a bitter smile .

“I’m a little curious . That year, the Federation sent you probably because they wanted you to restrain him . Why are you lacking behind so much? You are even hiding here now…” Ling Lan looked up at Elder Father .

Elder Father laughed forcefully when he heard this . “Trust…”

“You were betrayed by someone . ” Ling Lan immediately understood . “If I’m not wrong, Lord Qian acted personally . ”

“Why do you think so?” Elder Father asked Ling Lan back .

“Since the Federation sent you here, your ability at that time must be on par with Lord Qian . If not, you wouldn’t be given the important task of restraining him . Among the bunch of people sent in the past, Lord Qian and you should be the most powerful ones . The rest wouldn’t have the ability to injure you heavily . The only person who could hurt you so heavily until you are unable to recover even now must be him,” Ling Lan calmly explained her guess .

“I just don’t understand why weren’t you guarded against him in the first place since you’re tasked with restraining and watching over him . ” This was the point Ling Lan couldn’t figure out .

“In the Lawless Lands, it is hard to find a place for yourself here . That year, a few thousand of us were sent here . Now, only less than a handful survived . At that time, in order to survive, we don’t have the time to think about the issue about trust, missions, or anything . We can only survive if we helped each other…” Elder Father clearly remembered the past . Signs of deep-seated pain showed in his eyes . The comrades that fought with him fell down one by one along the way . The ones that survived grew apart and in the end, they broke their ties .

“So you believed him . ” Ling Lan understood it now . “I didn’t expect him to leave you alive . ”

Elder Father understood what Ling Lan meant . By right, Lord Qian could just kill him and end everything . He forced a smile on his face and said, “Maybe we’re getting too old that we reminisce about the past more . He might still want to leave some old friends behind or have some memories of the past . ”

“Or maybe he felt that you’re not a threat to him anymore so it’s alright to let you live . ” Ling Lan hit the nail in the head while not giving Elder Father any face .
