715 – Splitting Up The Team
After discussing, they decided to use Lan Xuanyu’s method. Everyone would rest for three days and then Bing Tianliang and Ding Zhuohan would lead the team to carry out the mission. Lan Xuanyu would lead his team to compete with the sixth-years and then participate in the sparring competition.
In the afternoon, Ding Zhuohan and the rest went to choose their mission while Lan Xuanyu headed to the Tang Sect to upgrade the warship’s equipment. The entire class was split into two teams.
Lan Xuanyu arrived at the Tang Sect headquarters in the afternoon. When he saw Deng Bo again, he felt that this captain’s expression was rather interesting.
“Captain, why are you looking at me like you’ve seen a ghost? This makes me a little nervous.” Lan Xuanyu smiled and greeted Deng Bo.
Deng Bo took a few steps back and then said sternly, “Tell me, what did you guys do? Why are there so many weapons and equipment on the warship? Although it’s a little lacking, it’s still too much. The ammunition pods aren’t even installed, and the control room is filled to the brim. Which family’s armory did you guys rob? Also, I checked, why did you use up so much of our capture missiles and interception missiles, and one antimatter missile?”
Lan Xuanyu replied indifferently, “Of course we have to use them. Our Tang Sect has prepared such a good weapon for us to use, right?”
Deng Bo said in a low voice, “I just want to know what you guys did. This is what the Tang Sect needs to know.”
Lan Xuanyu said, “Should we go in first? It’s not good to stand at the door.”
15 minutes later.
“What?” Deng Bo slammed the table and stood up, staring at Lan Xuanyu with his eyes wide open. “You guys… you guys stole a pirate crew and even sold their warship?”
Lan Xuanyu blinked and said, “That’s right!”
“Pa!”
Deng Bo slapped himself on the forehead and sat back down, muttering, “I knew it… I knew that nothing good would come out of taking the warship. I shouldn’t have equipped you guys with weapons! You guys are truly audacious!”
Lan Xuanyu coughed and said, “How can we not be equipped with weapons? Then wouldn’t we have become interstellar pirates’ captives? Then we would be slaves. Also, haven’t you heard of that saying before? Those who are skilled are bold. It is precisely because our Tang Sect’s warship is strong enough that we were able to obtain such a victory. Look, didn’t I bring back all the spoils of war that I seized?”
“Before we left, you emphasized how precious the ammunition on our warship was and how expensive the resources were. It was because of this that we had no choice but to fight to support ourselves. Otherwise, we wouldn’t be able to support our warship’s consumption at all! Don’t you agree?”
Seeing Lan Xuanyu’s aggrieved expression, Deng Bo’s eyes widened as he recalled bringing Lan Xuanyu and his team to the Sin Planet.
“Stop, stop! Anyway, I’ve already reported this matter to the higher-ups, just listen to their arrangements. If the sect decides to take back the warship, it has nothing to do with me, I can’t control you guys.” Deng Bo didn’t want to talk to Lan Xuanyu anymore, he was really afraid that he wouldn’t be able to hold himself back from slapping this brat.
These little guys were too bold. They actually attacked a pirate crew and even won. It was simply unbelievable!
After waiting for half an hour, Lan Xuanyu saw the Vice Hall Master Tang Miao again.
When Tang Miao saw Lan Xuanyu, he had a strange expression on his face. Although he already knew that these little guys were bold and daring, daring to do some unconventional things for the sake of completing the mission, and they even made it sound reasonable, he didn’t expect that they would rob a pirate crew on their first solo warship.
“Not bad, you guys.” Tang Miao gave Lan Xuanyu a thumbs up.
“You’re too polite, we’re okay.” Lan Xuanyu chuckled.
“You really think I’m praising you?!” Tang Miao rolled his eyes.
“Ka ka, aren’t you praising me?” Lan Xuanyu asked obediently.
Seeing Lan Xuanyu acting dumb, Tang Miao couldn’t help but laugh. “No wonder Wang Tianyu likes you so much. You’re simply a replica of him.”
“Master Wang? What did he do back then?” Lan Xuanyu asked curiously.
“He…” Tang Miao’s mouth twitched. “You can ask him yourself in the future. What do you plan to do next? Continue robbing pirate crews ?”
Lan Xuanyu quickly shook his head and said, “Hall Master, it’s like this. It was really a coincidence this time. We were attacked by pirates, so we couldn’t just turn around and run, right? We were actually preparing to run, but who knew that our Tang Sect’s antimatter missiles would be so powerful that we defeated them in an instant. Don’t worry, we will definitely avoid them in the future and not take the initiative to provoke them.”
Deng Bo, who was standing at the side, couldn’t help but say, “It would be weird if I believed you. You bunch of audacious brats, what are you afraid of?”
Tang Miao had regained his composure. “I want to hear the entire process of your operation. I can’t miss anything. Tell me everything.”
“Alright.” Lan Xuanyu immediately explained the situation and how they dealt with the aftermath.
After listening to his explanation, Tang Miao nodded his head. “Alright, that’s it. Deng Bo, bring him to replenish his weapons and ammunition. We will take everything that he brought back and buy them at the normal price. We will give him four antimatter missiles. As long as he has money, other than the classified weapons, let him choose the rest.”
“Ah?” Deng Bo looked at Tang Miao, dumbstruck. ‘Aren’t you indulging these kids too much ? Is this really appropriate?’
Tang Miao said to Lan Xuanyu, “Wait outside first, I have something to say to Deng Bo.”
“Alright.” Lan Xuanyu was overjoyed. Tang Miao’s words were equivalent to supporting their previous operation. This also meant that the Tang Sect was officially supporting them. If there was a similar situation, the Tang Sect would be able to tolerate it. What could be better than this?
Seeing Lan Xuanyu leave happily, Deng Bo couldn’t help but say, “Hall Master, we can’t agree to his demands ! It was only their first time out and they’ve already robbed a pirate crew. If this goes on, it’ll be dangerous sooner or later. They’re Shrek Academy’s students.”
Tang Miao pressed his palm downwards and Deng Bo stopped.
Tang Miao said, “Firstly, they’ve won this battle, haven’t they? And they didn’t lose anything. This is their ability. This is their first time piloting a warship on their own and they
have defeated a space pirate crew of more than 10 space warships. Would you have been able to do this? Not only do they have courage, but they also have wits. This is boldness and caution.”
At this point, Tang Miao looked at Deng Bo sternly and said, “More importantly, even if they were faced with pirates, they were able to maintain their original hearts and didn’t kill the captives or sell them away as slaves.
“It’s true that they had the intention of robbing pirates and plundering their resources, but they were able to stay true to their hearts and didn’t resort to every conceivable means. They were still able to hold on to the bottom line in their hearts, and this is the reason why I support them. They have the skills, wits, a bottom line, and even more talent. A group of young people like them will truly be extraordinary when they grow up. I’ve already spoken to Old Wang. In the future, if their class doesn’t get into Shrek Academy’s Inner Court, I will welcome them to our Tang Sect headquarters.
“Also, I have to remind you not to hold grudges over what happened back then. You have to discover their strengths and learn from them in some aspects, understand?”
Hearing Tang Miao’s words, Deng Bo’s brows gradually relaxed and he nodded his head helplessly. “I have to say, Hall Master, there are times when I’m really jealous of them. But I have to admit that they’re very outstanding, especially Lan Xuanyu. Everyone in his class trusts him. If not for their unity, they wouldn’t have been able to do so much.”
