Chapter 1390: 1390

“I think the likelihood of it being a battle is slim. It is much more likely for them to start a battle royale.” Ling Lan raised her chopsticks and ate a few mouthfuls of her lunch before she continued.

“Yes. If they really did wish to start a battle royale, they will look for you.” During this period, Li Lanfeng had formed his own secret intelligence team. It was in charge of gathering all kinds of information from the territories of the other lords.

Ling Lan nodded and stopped talking. She focused on filling up her stomach.

Li Lanfeng sat at the side and looked quietly at Ling Lan. Whenever he looked at Ling Lan, he wondered how good it would be if he could just continue staring at him for his entire life.

Suddenly, Ling Lan hastened the speed of her chopsticks and finished the last bit of food. The moment she put down her chopsticks, a man in a purple gown appeared before her.

“What has happened for Lord Zhen to grace my palace with his presence?” Ling Lan calmly took the towel that Li Lanfeng passed over and wiped her hands slowly.

“Did Lord Li snatch your goods?” Lord Zhen smiled and asked.

“Yes. I want to know if this is a battle or the battle royale?” Ling Lan raised her eyebrows. In order to create the impression that the Lawless Lands were in chaos, the 13 Lords collaborated with each other to create many ‘games’ that were built on top of numerous corpses and pools of blood. As long as they were able to achieve the results they wanted, they didn’t care how many injuries or casualties were caused.

When Ling Lan realized this, she felt pity for the lowest dregs of the Lawless Lands as their fates were being in the hands of these cruel lords. However, now, she needed to be involved with those cruel lords. She really hated this feeling of helplessness. She felt contempt towards the 13 Lords as well as those who feared the potential of the Lawless Lands.

“You’re indeed a smart person. The other lords were wondering if we should inform you but Lord Qian and Lord Kun said that you would have known about it already so we don’t need to make the extra effort,” Lord Zhen lamented.

“I’m just surprised. Since the 13 Lords are already basically on the same side, why don’t you just form an alliance and develop the Lawless Lands properly?” Ling Lan asked. Her clear and transparent eyes made Lord Zhen unsure if Ling Lan was testing him or if she was really curious about it.

He contemplated for a moment before answering slowly, “Humans are hard to predict. No one can know when they will be backstabbed if they form an alliance.”

“I see. None of you completely trust one another.” Ling Lan nodded.

Ling Lan’s straightforward and direct answer stabbed right into Lord Zhen’s heart. Could we still have a friendly conversation?

“Do you trust us?” Lord Zhen refuted.

Ling Lan pondered carefully before replying, “I really can’t.”

Lord Zhen felt frustrated by the reply again. This fellow wasn’t even willing to pretend to be friendly. He was really bad.

“Did you come because I am collaborating with you for this battle royale?” Ling Lan noticed that Lord Zhen didn’t have the interest to chat further so she went straight to the point and asked for his purpose of his visit.

“Clever. You understood everything without any explanations from me.” Lord Zhen gathered his composure. Maybe this youth was still young so he hadn’t learned how to be slick in his speech. He shouldn’t make people feel so stifled when talking to him.

“Who is our opponent?” Ling Lan asked curiously. She wanted to know how the 13 Lords choose their enemies for a battle royale.

“This time, Lord Li and Lord Demon are on the same side,” Lord Zhen replied.

“This time?” Ling Lan immediately caught the main point.

Lord Zhen looked at Ling Lan meaningfully. During all their conversations, this youth was able to catch the main point of his sentence every time. This sharpness was rarely seen among the younger generations he knew. Lord Zhen already didn’t plan to hide so he nodded and said, “We drew lots.”

“And you chose me?” Ling Lan smiled ambiguously. It looked like the other 12 lords admitted her identity as Lord Gen on the surface but deep down, they still discriminated against outsiders. They didn’t even call her during such an event and just let her fate be decided by random lots.

“Actually, as long as six lords have gathered, we can start drawing lots,” Lord Zhen explained why she wasn’t invited. Ling Lan didn’t know if he was speaking the truth or not.

“Is it a 2 versus 2 battle royale?” The documents kept in the rainbow palace didn’t explain the battle royale clearly. Thus, Ling Lan still had many questions regarding it. Since she had the chance to clarify her doubts now, she wouldn’t miss it. She would ask everything she needed to ask.

“Not really. There would be six teams. Besides the team which had been decided right from the start to be our enemies, we can still form other relationships with the other teams,” Lord Zhen replied.

“Form relationships… they can be your enemies or your friends, right?” Once again, Ling Lan detected the hidden meaning behind Lord Zhen’s words.

Lord Zhen was speechless. He was already so obscure with his words but the other party was still able to accurately catch the important point.

“I understand. How do you want to fight?” Ling Lan replied.

“Together.” Lord Zhen gave a helpless look. If it wasn’t for this, why did he come here?

“I mean, are we splitting up to fight with one opponent each or are were doing it together?” Ling Lan felt helpless too. In Lingtian, she didn’t even need to talk. One look was enough for her comrades, whether it was Han Jijyun or Li Lanfeng, even people like Qi Long, Zhao Jun, and Xie Yi were able to understand her intention and made the necessary arrangements. She didn’t need to go into so much detail.

“Of course it’s together. Based on Lord Li’s temper, he won’t likely split up.” Lord Zhen understood the other lords very well. Lord Li had a fiery temper. He liked to gather together and attack his opponent with all his might. As for Lord Demon, she didn’t like to make any decisions so normally, she would listen to what her partner preferred.

“Is Lord Li very bossy?” Ling Lan asked when she noticed that Lord Zhen only mentioned Lord Li but said nothing about Lord Demon.

“He’s a little bossy but that’s because Lord Demon doesn’t care about anything.” Lord Zhen smiled as he explained the reason.

“Really…” Ling Lan was dumbfounded. She met Lord Demon before. That time, the impression that Lord Demon gave her wasn’t that of a person who was easy to talk to…

However, Lord Zhen had known Lord Demon for more than ten years. He would have a much deeper understanding of her so Ling Lan decided to listen to Lord Zhen’s opinion temporarily. As for whether Lord Demon was really like what Lord Zhen said, Ling Lan felt that she had the time to assess it personally.

“Oh, right. Whether it’s the battle or the battle royale, the 13 Lords never show their faces.” When Lord Zhen was leaving, he reminded Ling Lan.

“They don’t show their faces?” Ling Lan frowned. She felt worried about letting her comrades go onto the battlefield alone without her overlooking them. After all, the men under the various lords, whether it was their techniques or their physical skills, were all much stronger than her comrades.

“Ling Lan, no one can be 100% certain of what will happen on the battlefield. You need to let go when you should. If not, they won’t have the chance to grow up,” Li Lanfeng suddenly opened his mouth and said.

“You’re right.” Ling Lan’s gaze turned cold instantly. She wanted to protect the people she loved but she never thought of pampering or spoiling them.

“Ask Luo Lang, Mu Chaoran, and Tang Ningyu to lead their teams for battle. Let Zhao Jun lead the elite mecha battle team and follow behind them.” Ling Lan gave her first battle command coldly.

“Yes.” Li Lanfeng’s expression turned stern too. He quickly changed into his subordinate mode and prepared to leave to inform his other comrades. Ling Lan abruptly stopped him and said, “Tell them that we don’t do unfavourable trades.”

Li Lanfeng smiled immediately. “I understand.”

As expected, Rabbit was still that cunning rabbit. He would never do anything that was unfavourable. Lord Li… you better take care of yourself.
