Chapter 1276 Little Four Disappeared!

“Little Four? Little Four?” Ling Lan shouted out in terror.

However, her mindscape was completely empty. Little Four’s annoying yet sharp voice was no longer there.

Ling Lan anxiously used her spiritual power to try to enter the learning space. However, when she tried to enter it, she was rejected by it. Her spiritual power couldn’t even get close to it.

‘What is happening?’ Ling Lan’s heart ached. Was she going to lose her little brother Little Four after just losing her father?

“Little Four, Little Four, Little Four, answer me. Don’t scare me like this. Little Four, answer me!” Ling Lan cried out in agony in her mindscape.

In the entire mindscape dimension, only her call for Little Four echoed within it. Other than that, there weren’t any other sounds. Even Little Blossom didn’t make any noise. Ling Lan then remembered Little Blossom. She immediately began to call out for him, “Little Blossom, Little Blossom, are you here? If you’re here, please say something. I beg of you. Tell me where Little Four has gone to. Why isn’t he coming out? Why isn’t he here…” There was still no response. It was as though other than Ling Lan, there wasn’t anyone that existed in her mindscape dimension.

“Little Four, Little Four… Why aren’t you here? What are you?” Ling Lan couldn’t understand what was happening because Little Four, who was always following beside her, had left without saying anything in advance.

Suddenly, Ling Lan remembered that when she was still sad about her father leaving this world, her mindscape was in chaos, which caused her to go unconscious. Was that the reason why Little Four had vanished?

Ling Lan, now with a direction to go towards, began to scan her mindscape. She discovered that the usually lush and lively mindscape had begun to writhe and rot. Although it wasn’t as serious as before, it was still quite bad. She actually neglected the odd situation in her mindscape because she was sad about her father.

Something must have happened to Little Four and the learning space. Ling Lan was anxious and frustrated, but she didn’t know what to do to ease her frustration. Not being able to enter the learning space disallowed her from knowing Little Four’s situation. She was also unaware of Little Blossom and the nine instructors’ situations as well.

In that instant, Ling Lan suddenly felt she was abandoned by the entire world. The father, who loved her dearly, was most likely dead. Her little brother, Little Four, who had always been following beside her since her birth, had disappeared as well. Moreover, Xie Yi, who was always optimistic and loved to smile, had sacrificed himself to make sure they could get away from the profound god state energies safely.

At that moment, Ling Lan could no longer control herself. She quickly covered her mouth. She was like a lonely little animal. She curled up in a fetal position and began to sob softly.

Li Lanfeng, who had been paying attention to Ling Lan all this time, heard Ling Lan soft sobbing. He put his hand on the door, but in the end, he helplessly put his hand down and continued to lean on the door instead.

His heart was aching for the person he loved who was always tough and never cried. However, now that tough person was silently crying by himself. Li Lanfeng’s tears were always used for a purpose, but today, he cried because he was sad. He was crying for that person who he truly loved.

‘Ling Lan. I know that being so proud, you wouldn’t want me to see you at your weakest. The me right now can’t do anything even though I see you crying in such pain. Even a word of comfort would be seen as an insult to you. A useless me can only just cry with you. I really hope I can cry more for you. Hopefully, it will lessen the pain.’

Two people, one outside the room and one inside. Both were crying. One was for herself and the other was for the person he loved. They had different feelings, but shared the same pain.

At a place where neither of these two knew about, Luo Lang clenched the bracelet Xie Yi had gifted him while also sobbing intensely. In the past, he didn’t understand the feelings Xie Yi had for him when he gave him the bracelet. He had even disliked him for it. However, now, he understood the reason, but he no longer had a chance to respond to the question Xie Yi had asked him back then.

The moment he was referring to was the time when they graduated from the military academy. At that time, Xie Yi suddenly called him to hangout in a cafe. When he arrived at the cafe, Xie Yi pushed a beautifully wrapped box to him.

Luo Lang looked at the box with a suspicious gaze in his eyes as he asked in confusion, “What’s this?” Was it one of those prank boxes? Xie Yi always liked to pull pranks and make jokes, Luo Lang had to be on guard.

Xie Yi had a pained expression on his face as he said, “This is a graduation gift for you. Can’t you just trust me.”

“Well, who asked you to lose everyone’s trust in the past few years?” Luo Lang pouted. If it wasn’t because he was open-minded, Xie Yi might have been disliked by everyone in the world, causing him to not have a single person play with him.

Xie Yi pretended he didn’t hear those words and looked at Luo Lang with a smile, gesturing him to open the box and take a look.

Although Xie Yi loved to make jokes and pull pranks, the only person who he didn’t prank other than Ling Lan (Xie Yi didn’t dare to prank Ling Lan) was Luo Lang in the past few years.

Luo Lang trusted Xie Yi wouldn’t lie to him, so he opened the box with high expectation. After all, he was still quite happy that someone gave him a gift.

After opening the box, he only saw a flat and common looking bracelet. The color was green which wasn’t the color Luo Lang liked. It was rather close to the color of his skin.

Luo Lang saw it and had a look of disdain on his face, “What’s this? It doesn’t look nice at all.” Well, Luo Lang still liked those beautiful things. In Qi Long’s words, he would be considered as someone who was focused on appearances.

Xie Yi was annoyed at Luo Lang’s pure dismissal of his gift. “Luo Lang, don’t judge a book by its cover.”

He quickly taught Luo Lang how to use the bracelet step by step. It turns out, the seemingly ordinary bracelet, was not so ordinary. It was actually a weapon that could change into countless different forms.

It could shoot out a grappling hook, taking a person up over a wall. There were also needles inside it that could be shot out. The most important part was that if he was in danger, he just needed to push down on the bracelet firmly. Then, Xie Yi would be able to lock onto his location and arrive promptly.After hearing all this, Luo Lang was very annoyed. “If I can’t handle it, then what use would you be? It would be more useful to get Boss.”

“Alright. I’ll stay and hold the enemy while you go find Boss,” Xie Yi didn’t get angry and only replied with a smile on his face. Perhaps that was the real thought in Xie Yi’s mind. Him going to Luo Lang was not to save Luo Lang, but rather it was to use his life in exchange for Luo Lang to have a chance to live.

“I don’t want it. Wearing it will weigh me down and be a burden.” Luo Lang didn’t want to wear something that he deemed to be useless.

Xie Yi said sadly, “This is something I ordered long ago. I spent a lot of money… If you don’t want it, then the few months that I starved myself would all have been for nothing.”

“What…” Luo Lang didn’t think Xie Yi lived so frugally just because of this bracelet.

“Yeah. Our credits are all with Boss. Plus, I didn’t give our Boss a present. If he knows that I only give you a present, I’ll definitely die by his hand,” said Xie Yi with a terrified look on his face.

“Then, why don’t you also give the others this present?” asked Luo Lang in confusion.

“They don’t need it since they’re all stronger than me.” Xie Yi shrugged with a helpless look on his face.
