Chapter 596: Cheeky!

Han Xuya and Luo Chao followed behind everyone. While they weren’t paying attention, they almost hit the people in front of them. It turns out that Qi Long and the others had suddenly stopped in their tracks. They immediately looked towards the front and saw someone that they were very familiar with. At that moment, that familiar person had his chin held up high in the sky and blocked their path pompously.

Of course this could only intimidate the people who were not familiar with him. These people who had known him for a total of 15 years already knew the masochistic side of this person standing in their way.

“Li Yingjie, why are you standing in our way?” Qi Long said in dismay. It should be known that his personality wasn’t compatible with Li Yingjie’s character and the two of them never saw eye to eye.

Li Yingjie pouted and said, “Did I stand in your way? I’m only just standing here.” What he meant was that it was Qi Long and the others who bumped into him and him being in their way had nothing to do with Li Yingjie.

“Okay, then you go first.” Qi Long pointed towards the path in front of them telling Li Yingjie to start walking first. They weren’t in a hurry to register.

Hearing this, Li Yingjie immediately said deliberately, “I’m tired and want to rest. Is that not possible?”

Qi Long didn’t know what to say. As expected, Li Yingjie and him did not see eye to eye. He felt that he couldn’t communicate with Li Yingjie. When Qi Long led the others past Li Yingjie and his groupies, he discovered that the person that had said he wanted to rest had actually followed behind them.

“Didn’t you say you wanted to rest?” Li Yingjie’s actions made Qi Long expression darken.

“I’m all rested up!” Li Yingjie didn’t have a hint of shamelessness and cheekily replied.

At that moment, Qi Long totally understood. Li Yingjie clearly wanted to move with them as a group. However, having always been in a poor relationship with Qi Long, Li Yingjie of course wouldn’t submit to Qi Long. Thus he used this move to wrap himself around the others.

Han Jijyun, Xie Yi, Luo Lang and the others all understood what Li Yingjie wanted and began to smile discreetly. Li Yingjie’s members on the other hand were all putting their heads down in shame. Wuwuwu, their captain definitely had a spirit possessing him…

Everyone were a part of the Lingtian Mecha Clan and Qi Long and Li Yingjie were also commanders of the mecha clan. They at least had the relationship of being brother-in-arms. Since Li Yingjie had made a decision to move forward with them, Qi Long of course wouldn’t really reject him.

As Li Yingjie and his team joined in, other mecha clan members from Lingtian Mecha Clan, such as Gao Jinyun and his team, had joined in as they walked towards the atrium… Thus, Qi Long’s team became a large army. The large group of people walked into the registration atrium instantly drew everyone’s attention towards them.

There were many people inside the atrium. New recruits, staff members and even a few ranked officers. The lowest ranked officer was a Senior Captain. There was a large group of Majors and many Lieutenant Colonels. There were even a few officers with the rank of Senior Colonel. This scene made the new recruits become surprised.

They didn’t envy these officers. If given enough time, they would be able to get to the same rank as those officers. That was because once they enter the army corps, they would be awarded with their own rank, the highest rank awarded would be a Senior Captain and the lowest would be a Second Lieutenant. They were middle-ranking officers who the Federation had used money and resources to nurture in the military academies and not soldiers who were conscripted through the public. Their starting point was already higher than those who were conscripted. Their futures were immeasurable.

Those officers were either standing, sitting or leaning against the wall. Some gathered together and some were by themselves and looked as though they were carefree and casual. However, the moment Qi Long and the others entered the atrium, the eyes of those officers began burning with desire. It was as though they had seen their prey they had set in their eyes on…

Even though those glances only flashed in their eyes for a second, those glances were still seen by the sensitive Qi Long, Xie Yi, Luo Lang and Li Yingjie. They all looked at each other and instantly became wary of their surroundings.

After putting up his guard up, Qi Long pointed towards a place within the atrium where it is not crowded. Luo Lang, Xie Yi and Li Yingjie all nodded lightly as they all had the same idea. They all believed that it wasn’t wise to be in the crowd to avoid bad things from happening.

They still remembered that when they first entered the 23rd Division, their Boss Ling Lan had taken down Sting’s captain Lian Shaojing and drowned him in his own blood. Maybe the opponent would exact revenge on them. It was better to be careful than not.

Qi Long and the others carefully led everyone to the location they pointed at. Nothing happened while they walked there and Qi Long and the others let out a sigh of relief.

In reality, it wasn’t that no one wanted to step out and confront them, it was that they were worried that there were other competitors who had their eyes on these new recruits. Those officers all hoped that others would feel out these new recruits first to make it easier for them to profit.

Of course, they still wanted to wait for a bit longer because some battle teams who usually keep to themselves and did not privately recruit members had actually sent their representative to this location. It seemed that this year’s new recruits were exceptional enough to make the entire division move about…

Qi Long led the others to the remote corner. A portion of them had already left and went to line up to register. Qi Long and the others didn’t move and only stood there silently, waiting patiently. They believed that their Boss was activating his own battle team at the moment. Their Boss would definitely not let them separate and would definitely make sure they were all in the same army corps.

This trust made them not line up to register. It was to make sure that before their Boss could activate their battle team, they wouldn’t be automatically assigned to another army corps. Although afterwards they could apply to return to their original team, the paperwork was very complicated. There could even be disputes due of these applications. After going back and forth, it could waste half a year to even a full year’s time. That would be considered a really poor use of time.

Also, everyone in Ling Lan’s battle team never had the thought that their Boss could lose! Of course, Ling Lan’s mission to activate the battle team was only their guess. In reality, Ling Lan didn’t tell them her plan, but they were still very trusting of her. This was the trust they had acquired from more than 10 years worth of time from their childhoods.

“So why aren’t you lining up?” Han Jijyun raised one brow and asked while looking at Li Yingjie, who was on the side.

“You guys didn’t go either right?” Li Yingjie rolled his eyes and retorted with an expression showing that he wasn’t stupid.

“There’s too many people so we’re going to wait for a bit longer.” Han Jijyun said casually.

“Then I’ll wait too,” Li Yingjie replied slyly. His years of experience told him that he wouldn’t fall short if he followed Ling Lan. Moreover, Qi Long was Ling Lan subordinate. He definitely had Ling Lan’s orders. How could he not follow Qi Long closely?

This was Li Yingjie’s wisdom. Although he didn’t know why they didn’t register and why they were waiting, he still knew that following Ling Lan was the right thing to do.

Hearing this, Gao Jinyun couldn’t help but laugh out loud. He didn’t think that Li Yingjie was thinking the same thing as he himself was thinking about and that was to follow Boss Ling Lan. No, he was still different from Li Yingjie because he had already received Boss Ling Lan’s acknowledgment before entering the 23rd Division. Thus before Boss Ling Lan gave any orders, he would not blindly make any moves. This was also why he was following Qi Long very closely.

Similar to Li Yingjie, Gao Jinyun also believed that Qi Long’s weird actions involved Ling Lan’s orders.

It could only be said that it was a beautiful misunderstanding! But it was misunderstood to perfection!
