Chapter 386 Challenge Her

When Le Ling returned to her residence, the others immediately surrounded her. "Didn't you go to see General Lan's sworn master? How did it go? Did you see her? I heard it was a young girl, who looks to be under 20. Is that true?" someone asked curiously.

“A half-orc with such great potential as General Lan must have a very powerful master, otherwise how could General Lan have advanced so quickly?” A round-faced young girl who was on good terms with Le Ling guessed.

"Not necessarily. Maybe she just got lucky and happened to meet a good prospect like Lan Xin. I heard that the Federation's Supreme Commander Ying Yaoshi values ​​General Lan very much. With such a powerful half-orc slave, that girl can practically do whatever she wants." A tall, beautiful woman with blue hair said enviously.

Le Ling really wanted to tell them that Ning Xuan could do whatever she wanted, but Ning Xuan had just specifically instructed them not to leak any information about her.

She could only nod vaguely, "It does look quite small, and she's really lucky." Lan Xin was very lucky to have met Ning Xuan.

The girl with blue hair was named Lan Jingchen. She was very interested in Lan Xin when she first met him and even confessed her feelings to him under the guise of discussing work. However, Lan Xin rejected her without hesitation. From then on, Lan Xin would never let Lan Jingchen get within ten meters of her, and she would consciously keep her distance even in public.

Previously, Lan Jingchen thought that Lan Xin was unwilling to be controlled and pursued freedom, which was why he kept people at arm's length. He never expected that Lan Xin was already taken.

"What level of spiritual power does Lan Xin's master possess? I want to challenge her. Federal law stipulates that the level of a half-orc slave can be higher than that of his master. As long as it can be proven that his master can no longer appease the half-orc, a higher-level controller can challenge the original master. If the challenge is successful, he can take over that half-orc slave," Lan Jingchen suddenly said.

"Is there such a rule?" Le Ling hadn't known before and asked subconsciously.

“Yes, orcs generally have high levels of mental strength, and their mental strength grows relatively quickly. If an orc is assigned a master with poor aptitude by the Orc Association, that master will be unable to appease them. In this situation, as long as an orc is strong enough, they can find a higher-level controller and change masters through challenges. This is actually the same principle as the link channel being overwritten,” another woman said.

“If she’s really not even 20 years old, she’s at most a B-level controller. I’m 32 years old this year, and my mental strength level is A-level. I’ll go challenge her right now.” Lan Jingchen stood up excitedly, intending to go find Ning Xuan.

"No, Sister Lan, you'd better not go." Le Ling grabbed Lan Jingchen's arm. She had gotten along well with Lan Jingchen recently and didn't want her to be too upset.

"Lele, don't stop me. I've never seen a man more beautiful than Lan Xin in my life. I'm willing to sever ties with all my other contractors for him. I only want him." Ever since Lan Jingchen met Lan Xin, compared to Lan Xin's beauty and strength, and recalling her contractors, he felt that they were all boring and he wouldn't regret giving them all up.

"Sister Lan, General Lan won't even see you. He clearly doesn't want anything to do with you," Le Ling reminded her.

"As long as I defeat his master, I can take Lan Xin away. Whether he is willing or not is not important."

Lan Jingchen thought to himself, if Lan Xin didn't have a master, or if her master was a very powerful senior, he definitely wouldn't have a chance to get Lan Xin. But now Lan Xin has a master, and she's such a young girl, so isn't this opportunity here?

"But you definitely can't beat her. She's at least an S-rank controller," Le Ling couldn't help but remind her. Le Ling thought to herself that mentioning a mental strength level wasn't really revealing Ning Xuan's information.

"Don't talk nonsense. There are only a handful of S-level controllers under the age of 20 in the entire Federation. They are all treasured by the major families. Why would they come to such a dangerous place?" Lan Jingchen scoffed, not believing Le Ling's words at all.

“I’ll make some preparations first, and I’ll challenge her tomorrow. Sisters, all of you, be my witnesses tomorrow,” Lan Jingchen said.

Lan Xin's Residence
Ning Xuan looked at the huge room, which was empty everywhere except for a folding cot, a chair, a table, and the bare white walls.

Ning Xuan folded up the cot and took out his favorite carved solid wood bed from the spatial button, placing it in the original spot where the cot had been.

Next, various pieces of furniture were placed in the room, and in a short while, an exquisite bed, tables, chairs, and benches transformed the empty room into a brand new space.

Ning Xuan sat down on a solid wood chair with openwork carvings and armrests, looking around the newly renovated room with satisfaction.

"Master, the space here is unstable, and StarNet information transmission is easily lost. Moreover, it's not safe here. You should go back to the medical center at the safe base," Lan Xin said worriedly, massaging Ning Xuan's shoulders from behind.

"Lan Xin, are you trying to get rid of me? What, am I affecting your authority in the legion?" Ning Xuan said calmly, without even looking up.

Lan Xin was startled by Ning Xuan's words. He immediately released his hand from her shoulder and knelt down in front of her.

He stood ramrod straight, hands resting on his knees, head bowed, and explained with a voice trembling with fear, "Master, please understand, how could I dare to have such thoughts? I was only worried about your safety, afraid that you might be harmed here."

“If I hadn’t arrived in time, you would have been ambushed. Even if you weren’t controlled by Yan Hezhen, your mental sea would have been severely damaged.”

"Lan Xin, it's been almost a year since we last met, hasn't it? After all this time, don't you want to see me?"

"I came to see you specifically because I was worried about your mental state. I happily arranged the room, intending to fulfill my obligations as your master. Did you have to say something like this at this time?" Ning Xuan appeared calm and collected, but in reality, she was very angry.

The only person Ning Xuan had ever taken the initiative to meet before was Ying Yaoshi, and even then, he had invited her several times, and when Ning Xuan was about to leave, he was still reluctant to part with her.

This time, Ning Xuan came to the front line. In the previous six months, Lin Mo and Yun Han had both gone to see Ning Xuan under the pretext of being injured. Only Lan Xin had not made any move. Ning Xuan was afraid that Lan Xin's health was in trouble, so she took the opportunity of the temporary medical team to come to her.
