It's Not Easy to Be a Man After Travelling to the Future (WN)
chapter-1467-30041322

“Didn’t think you two would be placed to guard this hall,” said Lord Xun.

“Not so much placed. It’s just we drew straws and got this hall,” Luo Lang said nonchalantly.

He didn’t want to be with Qi Long, but unfortunately, the outcome from drawing straws always had surprising effects.

In reality, he and Qi Long being grouped together wasn’t the best set up. Among the companions who work under Boss, Qi Long, him, Li Lanfeng and Zhao Jun were considered to be the strongest patch. Li Yingjie was somewhat weaker than them. Han Jijyun and Lin Zhong-qing were then weaker than Li Yingjie by one stage. It would perhaps have been more logical for him and Qi Long to bring someone weaker with them instead.

However, at their current stage, drawing straws wasn’t only just a matter of luck. It also had some sort of destiny involved in it.

Thus, even if he and Qi Long mentioned that they wanted to split up, everyone else rejected the idea.

Now, it seemed that it was very lucky that they didn’t split apart. No matter who they would have brought with them, it might probably bring about their death.

The two people standing before them were probably the Tornado, Lord Xun and Rainstorm, Lord Kan from the 13 Lords.

Although their strength among the 13 Lords weren’t ranked the top, they were still in the middle of the pack. If Qi Long hadn’t managed to fool Lord Kan, causing him to fall for the trap, it was possible that he and Qi Long would have a difficult battle on their hands.

As expected, this time, it was just as Boss had predicted. The 13 Lords all moved out. Luo Lang couldn’t help but worry about his other friends.

On the two large pillars outside the doorway of the Purple hall, there were two people, each leaning beside one pillar.

One of them looked towards the night sky. The starry sky was oddly closer than the one they could see in the Federation. It gave the illusion that he could put his hand out and pick those stars.

However, the star inside his heart seemed to be moving further and further away from him…

“Do you ever regret it?” suddenly the other person leaning on the other pillar.

“Regret what?” the person looking at the starry sky retracted his gaze and asked confusedly.

“Coming here to find what we had regretted in the past. Unfortunately, it is only our own regrets. He doesn’t even care about us.” No matter how dark it was, one can tell that he had a crestfallen expression on his face.

“That is our own problem, Ningyu!”

They were indeed Tang Ningyu and Mu Chaoran, who didn’t mind coming all this way to disguise their identities in order to find an answer they were looking for.

Tang Ningyu was stunned for a second before feeling cold sweat forming around his body. “Thank you, Chaoran.”

If he hadn’t shouted at him, he might have fallen into a trance, and perhaps he would never fully get out of it unless he sees past it in the future.

“Ling Lan doesn’t owe us anything. Back then, we all used fake identities. It’s just he fooled us, but we didn’t fool him! In the end, we lost to him!” Mu Chaoran was as clear-headed as he could ever be. “The reason we came here was undoubtedly because of him, but the main reason we came was because we want an answer. Isn’t it just for our own selfish reasons that we want to completely erase this underlying issue and in the end to improve ourselves further?”

“All in all, we’re still doing this for ourselves!” Mu Chaoran sighed. The way they had met Ling Lan was already a mistake from the very beginning. That was why it was much more difficult for them to acquire that connection than the others.

Mu Chaoran envied Qi Long, Luo Lang and the others. They met Ling Lan in the right way, got to know each other in the right way and grew up together in the right way. Naturally, they became the friends Ling Lan cared about.

He also envied Li Lanfeng, Zhao Jun and the others, who joined halfway. Working together, fighting together and going through life-or-death situations together. These types of experiences together in the end made them comrades who trusted each other.

However, all of that were things he and Tang Ningyu could never possess. That was why they were only people who could only impact Ling Lan’s life as a passerby.

“Being with Ling Lan is very difficult.” Tang Ningyu sighed.

“The pressure from being in a life-or-death situation is the best way for someone to grow,” replied Mu Chaoran. It was because of this reason that Ling Lan had become strong. Compared to him, the two of them, who are nicknamed prodigies of god and monsters of the generation, really were disappointing in their abilities.

“Who do you think our opponent will be?” asked Tang Ningyu. “Li Lanfeng wished us good luck… That guy’s good luck is never any good.”

“No matter who it is, this will be a battle of life-or-death. Perhaps it’s also the time we will find out the answer to our question,” Mu Chaoran’s urge to find out the answer was getting stronger.

“You also felt it?” Tang Ningyu asked with surprise in his voice. He thought he had been the only one with that thought.

“There is perhaps our downfall, or perhaps our chance to change destiny,” said Mu Chaoran.

“Hahaha! Chance to change destiny? That’s so funny,” a charming laughing voice echoed through the Purple hall.

Mu Chaoran and Tang Ningyu immediately stood up straight and looked towards the direction of the voice.

A person wearing a dress appeared in the direction of the voice. Them being extremely familiar with the 13 Lords instantly knew who that person was. “Lord Demon!”
