Although the mainframe announced him the winner, Qi Yaoyang felt that he lost. In an actual battlefield, he would have died together with Ling Lan and she was still just a recruit. Qi Yaoyang felt devastated. For the first time, he felt that he was getting old.
Ling Lan was too composed. Her expression was cold and indifferent. Qi Yaoyang couldn't get an answer from her so he could only accept what she said.
He was suspicious of Ling Lan's actions but that didn't prevent him from being extremely satisfied with her. Her close-combat and long-range attacks were near perfect. She managed to force him into a dire situation using her long-range attacks and displayed intelligence in the close-combat. Even after the battle, she was still humble.
Qi Yaoyang acknowledged Ling Lan. He felt at ease for his little son. He smiled and said, "Ling Lan, I will leave my son in your care now."
