The King of Special Warfare Chapter 349 - A Master

Chapter 349 A Master

The rain was still drifting at night.
When Li Tianlan opened his eyes, the study room was dark and quiet. The rain outside was pounding on the glass irregularly and the sound was exceptionally clear.
He stood up, moved his body, and filled himself a cup with warm water to drink. Then his whole person suddenly became radiant.
Someone seemed to have touched the phone on the desk. Li Tianlan turned on the phone and looked at it. Without seeing any text messages or missed calls, he shook his head hard and lit a cigarette. Then he pushed open the window by the way.
The rain was getting heavier.
The rain fell on the lake and the ripples continued to spread in the night. The treetops swayed gently in the wind and the light in the courtyard of the East Emperor Palace looked dizzy. With the dense water vapor, the splendid summer looked somewhat bleak and lonely.
Li Tianlan quietly looked at the rain outside the window. The glory in his eyes became calmer and calmer.
Till today, his Martial Arts had already reached a basic level, standing at the peak he had never reached before.
But the peak was not perfect.
This imperfection was not because he developed too fast or his body was too weak, but because of the imbalance of his power and willpower.
In three years, in the way to the far north, he had encountered mountains, seas, polar glaciers, grasslands, deserts, wind, frost, rain, and snow, but he almost had never stopped his moving steps.
His Martial Art was like his way to the north. It was formed step by step in silence. It was extremely solid and stable. The accumulated sword intent was absolutely pure. His body could withstand such hard training, but his willpower was unable to bear the sufferings and loneliness in the three years. Even that he had returned to Huating from the polar regions, it was difficult for him to fully make up the Essence, Qi, and Spirit in a short time.
The imbalance between willpower and power meant that he had power but his willpower was not focused enough. Without the firm willpower like steel, the sword intent was hard to reach true purity and the peak.
The only way that Li Tianlan could think of now was to sleep.
Only a full, comfortable enough rest could gradually help adjust his Essence, Qi, and Spirit back to normal completely.
Li Tianlan looked out the window and thought a lot for a time.
His Essence, Qi, and Spirit were damaged, but the former foundation remained. So he did not worry about recovering them at all. At this moment, he thought more about that year in the desert.
At that year, he had fallen from a height into a trough, starting from the beginning by abolishing his Martial Arts at the Thunder-shocking Realm.
At that year, he had climbed almost the time he thought was a lifetime in the maze under the desert prison, which was so dark, narrow, and silent that he could only hear his heartbeats. He had experienced despair countless times and suppressed his fear and madness. Only after that could he form the absolute willpower like Heavenly King Heart.
Without the experience of that year, today, with his original willpower, it was impossible for him to survive the breakthroughs of the three years.
Everything seemed like a coincidence but also was inevitable.
He remembered the first sentence that the two metaphysics grandmasters had told him when he first saw Xuan Xuanzi and Great Master Wuwei.
Did you trust the mandate of heaven?
The mandate of heaven was in front. Even if one did not believe it, one could not be disrespectful.
Someone gently opened the door of the study room from outside.
Wang Yuetong walked in and looked at Li Tianlan, who was silently smoking. She said softly, “You’re awake?”
Li Tianlan nodded and said, “I’m hungry.”
“Rushi and I made a meal. It might not be equally good as that of Senior Yu. Do you want to try it?”
Wang Yuetong opened her mouth with a smile. Her voice was soft and her eyes were enchanting. After turning from a girl to a woman, in front of Li Tianlan, the little princess of the Wang family of Beihai did not hold back her feelings. She really wanted to accompany Li Tianlan for a lifetime.
“You and Rushi?”
Li Tianlan threw the cigarette butt out of the window and looked surprised.
“I made a deal with her.”
Wang Yuetong nodded. “She’ll call me sister later.”
“…”
Li Tianlan suddenly had nothing to say. Even if he were an immortal, it would be impossible for him to understand why Dongcheng Rushi would call Wang Yuetong sister in a short time.
“Of course, I am destined to be unable to compare with Little Sister Bai. If Dongcheng Rushi calls me sister, she will not like me in the heart. I will not like her, either. But we will always meet in the future. If we are by your side in the future, we can’t pretend to be strangers in life. It’s too embarrassing.”
Wang Yuetong walked over and hugged Li Tianlan, leaning against his arms and whispering.
“Future?” Li Tianlan said subconsciously and gently touched her short hair with his palm.
“Right, future!”
Wang Yuetong nodded and said with a firm tone, “Tianlan, I will resign. I will stay with you in the future.”
Li Tianlan paused and then immediately said, “Okay.”
Wang Yuetong laughed in his arms. She rubbed against Li Tianlan’s chest with her face and whispered, “When you slept, my dad called me. He wanted me to go home.”
Li Tianlan was silent for a while before he slowly asked, “What did you say?”
“I say I don’t go back.”
Wang Yuetong was in a trance, thinking about the phone call. Her tone was complicated. “So my dad told me to go home once before leaving.”
Li Tianlan hugged Wang Yuetong tightly and did not speak.
He told her to go home.
He told her to go home once before leaving.
The meanings seemed similar but were completely different.
The former was not to come back after returning home.
The latter was to come back after going home, and then never went back home.
At the very least, before the grievances of Li Tianlan and the Wang family of Beihai had a clear result, she would not go back.
Li Tianlan bowed his head and kissed Wang Yuetong’s hair gently.
The former little princess shivered in his arms.
“Do you regret it?” Li Tianlan whispered.
“As long as you don’t abandon me in the future, I won’t regret it.”
Wang Yuetong’s voice was very light, similar to a whisper.
After all, she was a woman. She was so extravagant that she would rather use her life to make a bet. When she gambled for him, she would be uneasy, upset, lost, and freaked.
As for regretting or not…
It all depended on the man she finally chose.
This responsibility was so heavy but was clearer than the Li family’s, which was near and yet far away.
“Don’t worry.”
Li Tianlan paused. Later he said, “Thank you.”
Wang Yuetong smiled and raised her head. She reached out her hand and touched Li Tianlan’s face. She whispered, “When I come back, I am no longer the little princess of the Wang family of Beihai but your woman.”
Li Tianlan patted her back and whispered, “When are you leaving?”
“After the meal.”
Wang Yuetong whispered, “You send me to the airport.”
Li Tianlan nodded and said, “Okay.”
“I want you to hold me with both arms down the stairs.”
Wang Yuetong stepped back and left Li Tianlan’s arms. She opened her hands.
Li Tianlan smiled and held her with both arms down the stairs.
Everyone downstairs was there.
Lin Youxian and Yu Donglai sat beside the dinner table.
Dongcheng Rushi was filling the bowls with rice.
The food was very rich.
However, because of Dongcheng Rushi and Wang Yuetong, they were quiet at dinner.
Li Tianlan’s appetite was not bad. For him, as long as the two women did not fight on the spot, there would always be a relatively harmonious day in the future. After dinner, Li Tianlan personally drove Wang Yuetong to the airport. Wang Yuetong booked the ticket on the road and changed the boarding pass at the airport. Li Tianlan watched Wang Yuetong pass the security check in person.
Wang Yuetong did not say anything from beginning to end. But before she left, she hugged Li Tianlan hard and whispered, “Wait for me to come back.”
Her figure passed the security check and gradually disappeared at the end of the passageway.
Li Tianlan pulled his collar and turned away from the airport.
When the black Audi car left along the road, a group of serious and steady Mercedes-Benz cars slowly entered the airport and passed by Li Tianlan.
The rain was getting heavier at night. The thunder was looming in the height of the sky.
Nearly late at night, two middle-aged men walked out of the airport smoothly with a very beautiful girl.
Six Mercedes-Benz cars docked on the road outside the airport. Bathed in the rain in the night, nearly 20 sturdy men wore the same black suits and silently stood still.
The moment two men and one woman walked out of the airport silently, everyone bowed and saluted at the same time. “Welcome, Your Highness.”
Two middle-aged men went to a Mercedes car in front.
The beautiful girl took the other car.
The team slowly left the airport.
In the foremost Mercedes-Benz, Gu Xingyun, who had arrived at Huating one day earlier, was pale and weak. He closed the window, lit a cigarette, and coughed gently.
Gu Qianchuan, who was always with him, received a text message. He took out his mobile phone and read it. He gently twitched the corner of his mouth and calmly said, “The Cabinet and the Office of the President have already agreed to the rules of the two academies.”
“I knew it.”
Gu Xingyun smiled. “This is all within the scope of the rules. For the most time, manners and rules are two different things. But sometimes, they are the same thing. In the Special Warfare System, no matter what situation it is, Kunlun City has the final say. It is both a manner and a rule.”
“What about the Giant Group?”
Gu Qianchuan frowned and glanced at Gu Xingyun.
Now that he confirmed the injury of Gu Xingyun. Because of the hit of the murderous weapon, even Gu Xingyun was close to a totally normal person. His combat capability greatly decreased. There was no possibility of recovery for him in a few years. Even if there were time, it still would depend on his luck. If the maneuver of the two academies were not so important or did not matter the face of Kunlun City, Gu Xingyun would not present himself.
Today, the power of Kunlun City was truly in the hands of Gu Qianchuan. His relationship with Gu Xingyun seemed to have eased a lot.
“The maneuver of the two academies is a big event. No one can destroy it. Otherwise, it is really destroying the manners and trampling on the rules. Unless Dongcheng Wudi wants political suicide, what else can he do?”
Gu Xingyun coughed and his tone was plain.
“I am afraid that there will be accidents at the time.”
Gu Qianchuan said in a quiet voice, “Does the madman of the Dongcheng Clan need any reason to go crazy?”
“It is true.”
Gu Xingyun nodded. “But is it worth it for Li Tianlan?”
He glanced at Gu Qianchuan and continued to say, “Even if there is an accident, you are still there. If the accident really happened in the maneuver, you could personally kill Li Tianlan!”
He paused and said in a gloomy way, “At any cost!”
Gu Qianchuan contracted his eyes and nodded. He said, “Where are we going?” “Sky Academy?”
“Go to Winter Mountain.”
Gu Xingyun shook his head. “I have an appointment with a master. He might give us some advice on the situation in the future.”
Gu Qianchuan smiled and nodded. But he curled his lips quietly.
The so-called master?
Shit.
“Wasn’t it Xuan Xuanzi, your low father-in-law?”
