It's Not Easy to Be a Man After Travelling to the Future

"Little Brother Shaoyun should be safe, but he forgot his pet in all the chaos," Mu Chaoran guessed.

"Rawr… please tell my master that I didn't deliberately threw her…" Little White looked at Mu Chaoran with a pitiful expression on its face, hoping that Mu Chaoran could help it explain to her master.

"Look how sad it looks. It's probably frightened. Don't be scared, I'll find your master for you in just a bit…" Mu Chaoran pinched Little White's cheeks and comforted.

"Find my master?" After hearing that, Little White jumped up and down frantically, "Rawr… I don't want to go! I don't want to go! I will not go before my master assures me that she is not angry at me!

"You're excited because you know we're going to go look for you master, right?" Mu Chaoran laughed. "But, we need to go to the headquarters first so you'll just have to come with us." Right after Mu Chaoran finished speaking, he and Tang Ningyu moved out and quickly ran towards the headquarters in the center of the forest.

Little White, who was being held by Mu Chaoran, suddenly remembered that yesterday, its master mentioned that she was going to go to the headquarters to save someone…

"Rawr!" Little White let out an agonized cry. Isn't it serving itself to its Boss in a silver platter? If it could, it would definitely return to its original form and smash Mu Chaoran into a pancake. He wants me to suffer from master. Jerk, jerk, jerk…

Unfortunately, his master did say that it couldn't use its original form without her permission! It knew that if its master caught it in its original form, it would live the rest of its days in fright, waiting for the punishment to come. If it was caught and exposed, then it would definitely become a dead Little White…"Wah, wah, wah. Just you wait, Mu Chaoran!" Little White sobbed and laid limply onto Mu Chaoran's palm. It waited in despair for its tragic end!

Ling Lan deliberately let herself get hurled by Little White. After being saved by those soldiers, she followed the hostages to retreat to the back-lines. However, when they retreated, she silently left the big group.

That was because the place was in chaos and no one was keeping track of the number of hostages. Ling Lan's silent departure didn't attract any attention.

In a few seconds, Ling Lan arrived at the entrance of the headquarters in the forest. Li Lanfeng and Li Shiyu were already waiting there. From the beginning of the attack on the academy, Ling Lan had ordered Li Lanfeng and Li Shiyu to hide in the forest during the chaos to monitor the situation of the base.

"How are things looking?" Ling Lan walked beside the two of them and used spiritual power to communicate with Li Lanfeng.

"Other than those fake domain realm masters who went to the academy, there weren't any others moving out of the headquarters." Li Lanfeng told Ling Lan what they had seen.

Hearing this, Ling Lan frowned. She knew that with the military attacking this academy, the headquarters only sent out a few fake domain realm masters to defend and yet these people didn't use this chance to move the rest of their troops. This was clearly strange. Suddenly, Ling Lan expression changed slightly after thinking of another possibility.

"Little Four, get me all of the surveillance footage of all the areas surrounding the Azure Central Scout Academy. See if any area suddenly had a large convoy or crowd moving through." The gate wasn't the only place they could escape from. Ling Lan actually didn't think of this possibility.

"Yes, Boss!" Right as Little Four was about to connect to the surveillance equipment, he discovered that this forest was the same as the Li mansion, not having any surveillance equipment. Little Four immediately notified his Boss of this situation.

"Enter the base!" If they couldn't gain any information from the outside, then they must go inside to investigate. Ling Lan decisively made this decision.

Ling Lan made Li Lanfeng and Li Shiyu stand guard outside. No one knew what the situation inside the headquarters was like. Ling Lan didn't want her comrades to be in unnecessary danger.

Seeing Ling Lan entering the enemy's headquarters by herself, Li Lanfeng, who had a warm aura around him, suddenly became stone cold. This version Li Lanfeng, or rather Li Mulan, was never before seen. Li Shiyu, who stood beside him, couldn't help but worry for his mental state.

"It's alright. One day, I'll be able to follow in his footsteps." Li Lanfeng turned around and smiled at Li Shiyu. He would never give up on his goal. It was the same in the past, the present and the future.

"Alright!" Li Shiyu pretended to not be concerned, but he still couldn't help but say, "I feel you're self-inflicting pain and suffering." A monstrosity like their Boss was not someone who anyone could easily follow and become on par with.

"If I can't do that, how can I defy my fate?" Li Lanfeng raised his eyebrows. He never once thought that following in Ling Lan's footsteps was more difficult than changing his own fate. If he couldn't do that, then he shouldn't even consider trying to change his fate.

"Defy your fate?" Li Shiyu was confused. It was the first time he heard his eldest cousin brother say something like that. Did he say it because of his weak and delicate body from the past? Li Shiyu felt that the situation wasn't as simple as he had previously thought. Is his eldest cousin brother still hiding something?

Seeing a confused Li Shiyu, Li Lanfeng smirked…

At that moment, Tang Ningyu and Mu Chaoran also arrived.

"Here." Tang Ningyu reached the entrance of the headquarters. The location of the headquarters was very intricate. If it wasn't for the fact that Tang Ningyu was given a map by his superiors, they may not be able to find it in a short amount of time. Currently, with all of the fake domain realm masters and guards being sent to intercept the military… the entrance was no longer guarded.

"This gate should be one of those high-tech password gates. Do you know the password?" Mu Chaoran inspected the gate, then turned around and asked Tang Ningyu.

"No!" Tang Ningyu replied sharply.

"Then, how do we get in?" Mu Chaoran was dumbfounded.

Purple lightning appeared and started buzzing around Tang Ningyu's palm. He calmly said, "By force!"

After saying that, a flash of purple lightning shot towards the gate. The gate was instantly melted into a pile of mush and could no longer be used as a gate.

Seeing this, Mu Chaoran rubbed his nose and said, "Very forceful indeed!" He suddenly opened his hand and a fire dragon flew out from it. The fire dragon wrapped around the mush and boiled it until its gaseous state.

After getting rid of the gate, it revealed a bottomless hole. Tang Ningyu and Mu Chaoran looked at each other, then both of them jumped down one after the other.

After landing at the bottom, Mu Chaoran and Tang Ningyu knew that they were around a few hundred meters deep based on how long it took for them to land.

What they first saw was a wide corridor, but it wasn't as dark as one would think being in a tunnel hundreds of meters deep as there were lights for every three steps that they took which lit up the entire corridor. If there were guards in this corridor, even if there were only one for every 50 meters, they would still be discovered the moment they entered it.

However, currently, there weren't any guards in the corridor. They were probably all intercepting the military. This made it easier for them to move about and not worry about being attacked.

The two of them didn't slow down and quickly ran across the corridor. Once they got out of the corridor, they saw large headquarters. No one knew how this unknown organization managed to build such a large headquarters under the forest. Even these two from the Flying Dragon Special Forces couldn't help but be in awe of this organization's achievements.

However, this large headquarters which was originally orderly, was now chaotic. People there were like headless flies, running around aimlessly without a supervisor in sight.

Tang Ningyu seemed to have realized something and shouted, "Not good!"

"What's wrong?" Tang Ningyu made Mu Chaoran jump up in fright.

"This headquarters has another exit," Tang Ningyu said with certainty.

"That's impossible. We received information that there's only one." Mu Chaoran couldn't believe it.

"I speculate that the exit is only known to a few. No, maybe only the boss of this headquarters knows where it is," Tang Ningyu smiled bitterly.

"In other words, they gave up their lives to keep their boss safe?" Mu Chaoran said confusedly.

"Looks like that's the case. Those in the academy area, along with these people in the base, are people that have been abandoned." Once the military breaks into this headquarters, these people will be sitting ducks.

"Why don't they just leave the headquarters?" If they didn't know about the other exit, couldn't they just leave with the gate the two of them came in from?

"It's possible that they don't even know they have been discovered," Tang Ningyu said calmly. "This is an enclosed space so they can't contact the outside world." This was why they couldn't get hackers to find the location of the headquarters and could only use spies that only had results popping up after three years.

"The reason for the chaos is probably because they can't find the person-in-charge. I guess they could already tell that there is something going on. However, the enclosed lifestyle made them react much slower," Tang Ningyu continued. "However, even though they are very slow on the uptake, they will soon escape from the place we entered from…"

Mu Chaoran smirked, "Looks like we came right on time. We have to stop these people from leaving."

"I can handle it myself. Shouldn't you be finding someone?" When they were coming here, Mu Chaoran talked about Xiao Yiqiu's situation.

"Alright, I'm going to go find him. Just call me if you can't handle them." Mu Chaoran went to find Xiao Yiqiu.

Right as Tang Ningyu was about stop people from escaping, Little Four, who had already took control of the headquarters, gave an order in the voice of their boss under Ling Lan's command. After completing that, he then had the time to tell his Boss that her two roommates had arrived.

"If they're here then that means the military will be here soon as well. Little Four, did you find the second exit?" Ling Lan target was the second exit.

"Boss, I found it, but that exit can no longer be used." Little Four told Ling Lan the bad news.

"What happened?" Asked Ling Lan.

"When they left, they destroyed the passage," said Little Four.

"They're getting away just like that?" Ling Lan was in dismay. Ever since she discovered what this organization had done, Ling Lan had decided that she wouldn't let them go no matter what.

"Maybe not… ah ha, I found their location!" Little Four expanded the map of the Azure Central Scout Academy by a few hundred yard radius in Ling Lan's mindspace. There was a red dot blinking on one spot of the map. "The exit is there! They're still packing something and haven't left yet."

"Good job, Little Four!" Ling Lan finally smiled slightly. Then, she disappeared into the mist and began to move about. She had to get there.

"Little Four, give Mu Chaoran some hints to let him find Xiao Yiqiu quicker." After saying that, Ling Lan completely disappeared.
