1456 There's Only One Chance

Lord Qian wont give me time. Especially after she had received the thing Lord Qian wanted. If things kept going the way it did, Lord Qian would definitely make a move soon. However, this time, he wasnt going to let her off easy like before.

You were too hasty in your decisions, Number Five said helplessly.

I can wait, but the others cant. Ling Lans expression was determined. The move she made seemed to have been made blindly without any care about the consequences, but in reality, the only way they could escape from the clutches of Lord QIan was by doing those seemingly reckless actions.

With your wits, you clearly could have avoided it. Number Five still thought Ling Lans plan this time was not well executed.

Why should I refuse what has been given to me? Ling Lan responded coldly.

However, at the same time, you also paid the price for it in time. You clearly had time to prepare for it. Number Five, a person who disliked taking any risks, didnt like Ling Lans extremely reckless way of doing things.

Whats destined to come will come eventually. Plus, whats the point of getting one to two more years. If I cant advance into the god-realm, I can only be a pawn in Lord Qians grasp, not his opponent. Ling Lan saw through it all. In that case, I would rather grasp all of the opportunities laid before me regardless of risk, and perhaps something magical might happen.

For others, one or two years are indeed useless, but for you, with the virtual time dimension machine, its not like you are helpless. Ling Lans words could fool others, but they couldnt fool Number Five. He knew about Ling Lan just as much as Ling Lan knew about herself.

Using the virtual time dimension machine will only help me sense the catalyst to advance the first time I use it. If I dont succeed in my first try, then the subsequent trials would only help me acquire more experience, but I will no longer have a chance to advance. In that case, whats the point of having that one or two years? I would rather risk it now. Ling Lan knew very well what she wanted. Sometimes, fighting against the tide doesnt mean theres no chance of winning.

Number Five looked at Ling Lan with a heavy gaze. It seems, youve made up your mind.

After meeting Lord Qian, I realized that this was the only path I can take. Every decision Ling Lan made, although not necessarily calculated, was made through careful deliberation over the pros and cons. After deliberating over and over again, she made the conclusion that what she did was the best choice.

Alright, since youve made up your mind, Ill let you go in. Just like you said, you only have one chance, reminded Number Five.

Ling Lan nodded.

Number Fives finger slashed the air beside him lightly and a dimensional tear slowly opened up. It gradually got wider and wider until it was wide enough for a person to fit through.

Ling Lan nodded gratefully towards Number Five and walked into the dimensional tear without looking back.

Boom! The dimensional tear crackled the moment Ling Lan went in. It was then the dimensional tear started to swirl, gradually getting smaller and smaller with each turn before disappearing in a pop.

The next second, a slender figure appeared beside Number Five.

Why didnt you try to stop her? asked Number Five. Even though she was so worried, Number Nine didnt even try to persuade her against it or even see her off, Number Five thought it was out of character for Number Nine to do that.

No one can stop Ling Lan from doing what she wants. Even Number One cant do that. The time Number Nine spent with Ling Lan was the longest out of all the instructors. Her feelings for Ling Lan had already surpassed the love for a disciple. It could even be said that she had already thought of Ling Lan as her child.

When Number Nine realized her motherly feelings for Ling Lan, she no longer gave Ling Lan any instructions or suggestions. That was because she knew her feelings would affect her judgment., and without proper judgement, she wasnt qualified to be an instructor for Ling Lan. The only thing she could do now was to trust in Ling Lan. Even if she was worried and desperately not wishing for her to go, she couldnt come out and affect Ling Lans decision.

Number Nine, the rule of the dimension states that you shouldnt have feelings for the host, reminded Number Five.

Then you can enforce that rule right now, Number Nine glared at Number Five as she replied.

Number Five smiled sweetly after hearing those words, Why should I enforce it. This place isnt Mandora. There isnt that annoying disciplinary committee too.

If there really was a disciplinary committee, you would have gone there long ago Im sure. Number Nine didnt leave any face for Number Five and spoke out his true intentions.

Expected of the person who understands me the most. Number Fives smile became even sweeter. Even his eyes were smiling. The originally cold smile actually looked beautiful at that moment. It was like a flower blooming in the harsh cold winter.

Its already been so long but I still dont understand you. Number Nine looked at Number Five with disdain and then disappeared in the next second.

Number Five sighed softly after Number Nine left. Yeah, its been so long already, but why dont you understand what I want
