Inside of the Strength test room.
Ling Lan happily and silently skipped her steps towards the two officers that whispering to each other. And because she started to cultivate the energy from the her Soul Bead again, her overall stats leaps into a higher realm in this past two years. So in her way towards the two officers, she was eavesdropping. Knowing their concerns about the most of kids with talents had been shunted away from the Federation, she give them silent condolences.
"Hello, examiners. Ling Lan is here for testing." She said loudly with a little cold voice to get their attention.
The two officers that whispering, stops and look at her with a bit of confusion. They're holding the results of Ling Lan's Intelligence test. They highlighted the 'Calm and Collected' comment from her results, but what they concerned was... They didn't noticed her presence until she said stated presence to them. The two of them look at each other with noticing the two or thing little beads of sweats, and they both know why is that.
They both started to calm down and smiled for her. "Just lift what the most heavy barbell you can lift. Don't be rash and force yourself. This is just a test, not a competition." As he said to her, he point the corner where the barbells were.
Hearing this, Ling Lan nodded and went to the barbells. But she didn't do anything yet and asked the examiners first. "Can I know which weight would give me full marks?" With the results of her in intelligent exam like hounding her mind all the time, she wants to compensate it this time in this strength test and at the rest of the tests after this. She wants to be in the special class with her brother.
Being in the special class will give them the free to build their own study plans, select preferred instructor, and choose to stay home, which they needed for their mother until their father is back.
The two officers glanced at each other, they felt that this kid is being full of herself. But with what happened earlier, they just want to know if it's real or not, if they thought was real or not and just a sham. "300 kilograms!" said by one of the officer.
After knowing the weight. She bend over and pick up the barbell which the weight is the same of the officer said, with her two hands grasping the metal she lifted the barbell.
The officers saw her having a hard time lifting it up, and give a sigh of relief and disappointment. But a second later, their jaws dropped and stared bewildered in Ling Lan that doing some tricks with the barbell just like with the staff.
Ling Lan put it down after the signal was sent that it's okay now, and went to the stoned officers. She tried some ways to wake them up but can't, so she pull the pen in one of their chest pocket and write something in the back of the result paper of hers in intelligent exam, then said good bye to the officers.
For a full of minutes after Ling Lan went outside, they woke up from the shock.
"Did... Did she do that!?"
"Why ask me!? Oh, right! Let's ask the recorder room."
After a couple of seconds. "What happened?"
"No one responded from the recorder room. Maybe they are busy replaying the record or they still in the shocks..." He said and wave to the camera. "I'm continuing the exam now!... But still, I want to know now how she did the earlier one before the barbell thing."
"Yeah, with that kind of strength and what? Again what? Silently went to our side without noticing her presence?... Fuck! We are soldiers too, or was. But still the same thing! We can detect the presence of some one near us but that case isn't like hers... I guess we should see her result of her speed test later."
"Stamina will be piece of cake for her with that kind of strength. Add for the fact that she is still a kid."
"... What's her family name again?"
"It was Ling... You think she is related to the past Major General Ling Xiao?"
"I don't know... Why ask me in the first place?"
"I just blurted it brother, ok?... Wait, it was you that asked me in the first place! And I think this will be good for her, those people from the intelligence test doesn't know her results in this test, yet. If, if she is really related to him. The principal should make a move by now."
"Ok, let's stop talking about this. Who's next?"
Outside of the room.
Ling Fei glanced at the stoned people in the room before the door was completely closed, and stared at Ling Lan with a raised eyebrow.
Ling Lan saw Ling Fei like this, she just simply push out a bit of her tongue to tease him with a poker face.
Ling Fei just shakes his head and went inside as his name was called.
Ling Qin was still nervous, cheered up Ling Fei and ask what the result of Ling Lan.
"Young master, mistress is waiting for you and young mistress results that can be qualified to be in the special class.
I know that this shouldn't be said here but, I and the other people inside of the household already knows and experienced how both of you are too matured in this past six years, compared to the other children with the same age as yours.
And we are gladly to give you all our trust and loyalty, but you should know too that this is only the beginning of the path that you should take and the start to feel the pressure of what we expects from you as the heir of Major General Ling Xiao." He said seriously as he put some lightly pressure on Ling Fei's shoulder.
Ling Fei smiled sincerely at Ling Qin. "Don't worry about it. I know, and I expect you all to follow me to the heaven or hell, right?"
Ling Qin smiled, feel assured. "Of course we will, young master."
Ling Fei nods then slightly slowly walks to the room, and before the door closed, he raised his left arm and flick his hand. "But... Who said that I ordered you all to follow me to the hell, if it's the case?"
------------------------
On continuation of three years ago.
Ling Fei continued. "Next thing, for those who are... Should be the aunties and uncles of my mother in terms of age. You will have more benefits if reached the age of retirement and be freely have a choice to join the House Contribution System or not, as my thanks for taking care of the household and still now.
For those who are below, you are required to join in the contribution system for the people inside of the household, and can have a 'voice' after reaching the required House Contribution Points.
Next is the Family Contribution System and Points, this system is for the Ling people that decided to be free and out of the Ling Household. As I said you're still part of the Ling Family, not that Ling Family, but this Ling Family of Major General Ling Xiao and which you're facing his son. But they can't never have a chance to get a 'voice' inside of the household. This points can be use to requests some thing from the household, but will be decided if they're within the capabilities of household's power, be reasonable please.
As these free people had a child or children in the future, you can tell them that they can decide to join the Ling Household or not after they finished they first six years in their school. Or you can choose to bound them in the Ling Household or not after they're born. You can still meet them of course, I won't restrict the freedom of my people of their actions but still have a consequences if breached the rules and laws of the Ling Household, for both loyalist and free people.
Next, about the family martial arts. Every person will be required to be taught and learn it after reaching his/her 5th year age. But every person will take an oath, for not having a permission to teach the family martial arts to the outsiders, even if you're the people inside or outside of the Ling Household.
Third. Loyalist will be abolish tomorrow and instead, we will have three groups under one group system.
Chamberlain Ling Qin will tell them and explain this groups with the House Contribution System and Family Contribution System after this meeting.
Now and lastly. You all can decide for what you will choose after your works and in your free time, but please make it sure and have a firm resolution for what decision you decided on because it can't never be taken back, and you all will only have until 2 hours past after tomorrow's lunch.
That would be all for me." He explained and went to the seat beside Lan Loufeng on her right side, while she stands up and walks to the front.
"I know you're confused but this will be gone after you hear me. This decisions and plans are based on what happened almost three years ago. You all should know better than anyone else. Why that Ling Family decided to try to take advantage of premium military benefits of Major General Ling Xiao, because they're selfish and greedy bastards!
They didn't even realized why they were in Doha and experienced such life in the first place. And this was all because of father Ling Sunzheng's kindness! Did you all forgot who he is!? Or should I make you all remember who was he!?
But those greedy bastard thought that it was normal for them to be included in father Ling Sunzheng's glory and military benefits, they forgot that the only thing included in his military benefits was HIS OWN FAMILY, NOT THE FUCKING WHOLE CLAN!
And guess what? Because of what father Ling Sunzheng achievements in the military, the military gave him what he requested for the whole Ling Family to be in this planet Doha, even though it shouldn't be like that.
See!? Now tell us, tell me!? If I didn't fight for that shitty greedy bastards! Major General Ling Xiao's children will be roaming on the streets now! Your Hero's children! Can you accept that!? Now, it's up to you to decide for what his son, Ling Fei said and explained to you.
And you can relax your nerves if decided to leave this Ling Household for not being a loyalist or even the free people. We will take an oath for not chasing you and will not make things difficult for you. But you will never have a relationship with us anymore and will never have a chance to go back again, in this Ling Household.
Tomorrow, we shall know what will be the outcome... That would be all for me." And turned her back to the people and took her seat in the middle.
Ling Lan stands up and went to the front after her mother.
