Chapter 73, The Deal: The Real Answer to the Question

"Lin Ran, the Ling family has arrived."

Lin's voice entered my mind directly.

"it is good."

Lin Ran regained consciousness, summoned a ball of water to envelop her entire body, and carefully washed away every bit of dirt. Then, she swept her body with fire spirit energy, evaporating the water vapor and leaving her completely refreshed.

Walking into the living room,

Xinglu brought over a set of clothes.

"Brother Lin, this is a new outfit I designed for you. It'll make you look more formal when we go to the hotel later."

"Um?"

Lin Ran paused for a moment, thought for a moment, and then took the clothes.

He hadn't expected that the middleman, ostensibly him, was actually Lin.

A bad image might not bother the other person, but a good image will make Lin feel better.

"it is good."

Lin Ran went back to her room to change her clothes, and when she came out of the room, she noticed that Xing Luo's eyes lit up.

This is a design similar to a school uniform, with a black base and gold trim. Every detail has been carefully considered, showcasing youthful vigor while maintaining a sophisticated air.

"Brother Lin is so handsome~" Xingluo exclaimed, her eyes filled with Lin Ran's reflection.

"really."

Lin Ran touched the corner of her mouth, wondering why she couldn't suppress her urge to smile.

……

Location No. 3, Baiyujing Branch.

The hovercar was parked directly in the backyard, above a separate yard.

The courtyard is large, with a bamboo grove, a small bridge, a stream, and rockery carvings. The overall design is in a retro style.

The car door slowly opened, with Lin Ran in front, Ling Qiqi behind, and Lin walking leisurely at the very back.

The three landed gracefully.

The Ling family members, who were already waiting in the courtyard, immediately came forward to greet them.

"Hello, I am Ling Feiyu, the current head of the Ling Group."

"Hello, I am Lin Ran, the captain of the first squad."

"I have long admired Mr. Lin's name, but I never imagined that he was so young. He is truly a young man of great talent."

Ling Feiyu gave a thumbs up, saying that he was telling the truth and was very envious of Lin Ran, wondering why Lin Ran wasn't a member of the Lin family.

"Mr. Ling, you flatter me. I'm sure Mr. Lin already knows why I'm here. Shall we get straight to the point?"

Lin Ran released her grip and said with a faint smile.

Ling Feiyu noticed Lin out of the corner of his eye and hesitated for a moment.

"Mr. Lin, I have already arranged the funeral meal, and I haven't seen my daughter Qiqi for a long time..."

"Mr. Ling, there's no need for such talk. We both know the details perfectly well."

Lin Ran interrupted Ling Feiyu, activated the Eight Gates Formation, and his body was covered with a layer of golden light.

Lin glanced at Lin Ran, pursed her lips, and made a token gesture by activating the Eight Gates Formation.

Lin Ran smiled brightly. The resonance of her cultivation technique lasted only a short time, but it was enough for Ling Feiyu to see it clearly.

Ling Feiyu immediately said,

"Then let's do as Mr. Lin says. May I ask what Mr. Lin means?"

Lin Ran waved her hand, setting up a simple sound barrier to prevent their conversation from getting out.

"Ling family residence, Qiqi told me about her, Sister Lin is my master."

"But Qiqi is my teammate after all, and it wouldn't be good for anyone if things got too tense. How about this?"

"I saw that Mr. Ling brought several project members with him, but they were all from the second option."

"From now on, no one in the Ling family, including Mr. Ling himself, will be allowed to disturb Qi Qi's cultivation."

"In return, I conducted a simple test on several of the Ling family's geniuses."

"If the test is passed, I will use my once-a-year recommendation opportunity to directly recommend my disciple to the legislator to become the first planner."

"What does Mr. Ling think?"

Lin Ran smiled.

Ling Qiqi is the seventy-seventh brother's daughter of the person in front of her, and the other party's main strategy is to guarantee a minimum number of card draws.

Unexpectedly, Ling Qiqi was a hidden card, and he accidentally missed it, which was then intercepted by Lin Ran.

Therefore, the solution is to transact with the other party and show sufficient sincerity.

He has the confidence to show sincerity, and this is also a sign of respect for the extraordinary.

The Human Alliance has only been established for a short time, and every extraordinary individual has made indelible contributions to expanding the territory of the human race.

Lin Ran even thought about things more deeply.

The councilor must know about the team's affairs, but he still let Ling Qiqi's matter pass, which is likely due to a character check.

Most likely? Most likely, it's something trivial that they just casually toss around.

I'm just worried that a member of parliament might also be paying attention.

In short, although he is not involved in politics, the things he actually encounters are not simple.

Lin Ran's thoughts were sparkling, and she finally let out a sigh.

If he weren't so weak, he would have wiped out the werewolf clan to add to the excitement.

Ling Feiyu listened attentively and thought about it for a while.

"Mr. Lin, could you please tell me what kind of test it is?"

"The first option must face certain issues. As one of the leaders of the alliance, Mr. Ling must know the importance of the elite program. There are prerequisites for my recommendation. Otherwise, if we can't even pass the first hurdle, I will be punished for it."

Lin Ran shrugged, looking very relaxed.

Ling Feiyu's expression relaxed.

"Could I add one more request?"

"Please speak."

"Unless Qiqi makes a serious mistake, Mr. Lin, please don't kick her out of the team."

Ling Feiyu said solemnly, seemingly genuinely thinking of Ling Qiqi's best interests.

Lin Ran nodded.

"That's natural."

"Then I agree to Mr. Lin's terms."

"Thank you for your cooperation, Mr. Ling. We hope that Ling Jiatian will pass the test."

Lin Ran and Ling Feiyu shook hands and then let go.

Remove the sound barrier.

Lin Ran looked at Lin.

"Sister Lin, please seal off this courtyard. We will need your help later to access the spiritual rules of the Mother Realm."

"it is good."

Sister Lin looked at Lin Ran for a while and nodded.

Then.

Lin spread her five fingers and slowly turned her palm downwards.

A giant golden shield appeared out of thin air above the courtyard, covering the entire courtyard and isolating it from all detection and disturbances.

Lin Ran took a deep breath and pressed her right hand against her brow.

"Elite Project, First Planner: Lin Ran."

"Here, I appeal to Heaven!"

In an instant, pressure weighed on everyone's hearts.

A dark cloud appeared out of nowhere, and a giant, single eye split open in its center, staring emotionlessly at the people below.

Lin Ran was shocked.

Humanity's Heavenly Eye!

How could it be?!

Everyone bowed to the Heavenly Eye.

Lin Ran walked up to the five people that Ling Feiyu had brought.

At this point, Ling Feiyu had finished communicating with the five people.

"Mr. Lin, thank you."

Ling Feiyu said with a smile, even taking two steps back to show his attitude.

"Thank you for your cooperation."

Lin Ran smiled and looked at the five Ling family disciples.

Under the human race's all-seeing eye, lies do not exist, and everything is true.

"I have only one question: If you have a conflict with other members of the elite program, how will you resolve it? Please answer in one sentence."

The first person on the left: "I'll go first. I'll request the intelligent program to conduct the trial."

The second person said, "Elite Project members are ranked by strength, and I will challenge them to a duel."

The third person said, "I think it should be judged according to talent level, and those with lower-level plans should be patient."

The fourth person said, "I will be tolerant of my opponent and challenge them to a duel only when my strength surpasses theirs."

The fifth person said, "I am engrossed in cultivation and will not have any conflicts with others."

Lin Ran remained silent for a long time before sighing.

He looked at Ling Feiyu.

"Mr. Ling, it's not that I'm unwilling."

Ling Feiyu was silent for a moment, then asked:

"Mr. Lin, could you please tell me your answer?"

"Without asking why, both sides go out alone to kill the alien race. No one can use their strength. The one who kills fewer alien race members apologizes, and the living apologize to the dead. If the results are equal, they continue to hunt until a winner is determined."

"The Human Alliance has been established for less than a thousand years, while the lineages of other races can easily span tens of thousands of years."

"If internal conflicts cannot be resolved externally, how can the human race grow stronger?"

Lin Ran shook her head.

boom!

Suddenly, the Human Race's Heavenly Eye roared, and a golden light imprinted itself on Lin Ran's brow. Then, the Heavenly Eye and the dark clouds dissipated, and the pressure disappeared.

Lin Ran touched her brow, paused for a moment, and then suddenly smiled.

"Sister Lin, let's go."

"it is good."

With a smile on her lips, Sister Lin waved and led Ling Qiqi and Lin Ran away.

Ling Feiyu's voice came from afar.

"Mr. Lin, I have learned a great deal about the big picture."
