It's Not Easy to Be a Man After Travelling to the Future

A person appeared after Li Yingjie’s shout. He was a humble-looking youth with the rank of major. The moment he walked over, he got a shock. ‘Why is everyone looking at me so weirdly?’

He glanced around and scratched the back of his head in puzzlement. “Erm, who is looking for me?”

He turned and looked at the members of team 10 in a search for the answer to his question. However, all the mecha operators from team 10 lowered their heads whenever Qi Long turned to look at them. They were having a moment of silence for Qi Long. ‘An innocent person was pushed out by their team leader to take the bullet again.’

Qi Long then turned to look at Han Xuya and Luo Chao, after he noticed everyone from team 10 wasn’t responding to him.

Luo Chao lowered her head as she pointed to Song Yiqing’s direction.

Qi Long turned to where her finger pointed to and saw Song Yiqing. He then started to scan Song Yiqing from head to toe. After a while, he said, “Erm, who are you? I don’t recognize you.”

Song Yiqing’s face had turned green in anger. He wanted to teach that arrogant brat a lesson but the moment he exposed his background, that brat ran away in fright. However, that brat still didn’t want to give up and called his teammate over to help him. But, when his teammate walked over, he just acted blur and said that he didn’t know him? ‘Hmph, do they think that the Song family is easy to bully?’

“I didn’t expect a small major to have the guts to mess me with me…” Song Yiqing gritted his teeth and waved his hand. A middle-aged man suddenly jumped out from the crowd and attacked Qi Long.

Boom! Qi Long raised his fist and resisted the attack. He immediately raised his hand after that and shouted, “Wait!”

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment. He looked back at Song Yiqing and waited for his command. The Song family placed him here so that he could protect Song Yiqing. Hence, he would only listen to Song Yiqing’s orders.

Qi Long saw this and knew that the snobbish lieutenant colonel was the decisive factor. He quickly continued, “I just came here and I really don’t know what is happening. If you want to fight, you should at least give me a reason to, right? If not, how am I supposed to answer to my regiment commander?”

‘If Boss got angry at me because of this, I would definitely be punished. But… times are different now. I am a domain realm master so I shouldn’t just roll over and get punished whenever Boss is in a bad mood. I need to maintain my reputation and dignity as a domain realm master, right…? Fine, in actual fact, my reputation and dignity mean nothing. I am still the Qi Long that Boss could torture whenever he wants.’ Qi Long wanted to cry when he thought of this.

“You don’t know? Why don’t you ask your friend?” Song Yiqing said furiously. ‘Why is he putting on that innocent face? Who is he trying to show?’

Qi Long turned and glared at Li Yingjie who was hiding in the crowd. Li Yingjie knew that he was discovered so he popped his head out and said, “Song Yiqing, the grandson of the Second Marshal.”

Qi Long felt his teeth hurting. He knew he got fooled by Li Yingjie this time. This stupid person gave him such a big headache the moment he arrived. He looked at Song Yiqing and pondered seriously for a moment. He appeared enlightened and said, “Oh, you are a descendant of the Second Marshal… however, I don’t have anything against you. Haha, goodbye!” He turned and wanted to run away. If he had the chance to not provoke this person, he would take it.

When Qi Long retreated, Song Yiqing knew that this bunch of brats were just sheep in wolves’ clothing. He was fooled, and his heart started to burn with anger because of it. He shouted furiously, “Hit him!”

The middle-aged man received the order and rushed towards Qi Long. He raised his fist and aimed it at Qi Long’s back. However, Qi Long didn’t seem to notice the sneak attack at all. Everyone gasped in shock. Of course, only the members of 250 Mecha Clan were extremely calm. If Leader Qi Long would get injured by this, he wouldn’t be called Leader Qi Long anymore.

Boom! A human figure flew back into the room and slammed heavily onto the ground. The figure rolled on the ground and toppled a few tables before stopping.

“Pfft!” The person lying on the ground vomited multiple mouthfuls of blood. He couldn’t get up anymore.

Qi Long patted his military boots as though he was dusting it. Then, he put down his leg and said nonchalantly, “I said that I don’t have anything against you. Why must you still attack me? How stupid.”

Qi Long was an oppressive person in nature. However, Ling Lan had a more extreme version of his nature which allowed her to easily suppress his true nature, so he seldom could reveal it.

The entire cafeteria was dead silent. That middle-aged man was at the peak stage of Qi-Jin. However, Qi Long managed to injure him with a single kick. This showed how powerful he was. Everyone looked at the young major in shock and wondered who he really was.

Song Yiqing narrowed his eyes. He was astounded by Qi Long’s display of prowess too. However, Qi Long was doing so to obviously humiliate him. This was the first time someone looked down on him so blatantly. His emotions took control of him. He pointed his finger at Qi Long and said angrily, “How dare you injure my man. You…! The Song family will not forgive you!”

“Do you think I’m really afraid of the Song family?” Qi Long snorted. He didn’t want to cause any trouble but since someone was really asking for it, he would gladly give that someone trouble. His Boss only instilled them with three rules: don’t create trouble, face your problems bravely, and annihilate your enemy.

“Fine. How arrogant. I’m interested to know who you are. How dare you disrespect the Second Marshal!” Song Yiqing was not an idiot. He immediately took out the second marshal card so that he could use it against Qi Long since the Song family card wouldn’t do.

“Marshal Song is a role-model of the military, and I’m a soldier, so of course,I respect Marshal Song a lot. However, what does the Song family have to do with Marshal Song?” Qi Long smiled. ‘Is he planning to frame him for being disrespectful towards a marshal? Does Song Yiqing think that he is really just a humble and honest person?’

There was one requirement in order to become a marshal. It was that he couldn’t be affiliated with his family. It meant that his merits and honor was only for himself. Thus, it wouldn’t affect his family’s status quo, no matter how much merits he has. Anyone that breaks this rule would be brought to the military court. Of course, none of the marshals really followed this rule. They would all help their descendants to gain more benefits and resources, giving them a smoother path in the military. Everyone knew this. However, no one would say it blatantly. Qi Long made use of this point, so by right, he didn’t have to be afraid of Marshal Song.

In the end, Song Yiqing could only complain that Qi Long was disrespectful towards him as Qi Long had a lower rank than him. It was a rule that officers with lower ranks should maintain a certain level of respect for anyone who had a higher rank than them. However, this rule was only applicable whenever they are in a division. Once they went out of the division, this rule was just for the show. When a dispute happened, no one would care what your rank was. The people clearing up the mess would be the generals of the various divisions.

However, no generals would be willing to bow their heads down to their equals, as this would affect the reputation of their respective divisions. Hence, no one would be punished for such a small matter. Also, Qi Long’s father was the general of a division. ‘Hehe, my father always hit me so it is probably alright for me to take a tiny revenge and create some trouble for him.’

Qi Long gave an evil smile. But, to other people, his face was still humble and honest-looking.
