With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods-Chapter 245 Sudden Message

With Lin Fan's insistence, the Love Sect disciples finally agreed to come back to his town with him.

They were filled with gratitude towards him and even the way that they addressed him had changed.

Even though technically they were his marital uncles and aunts since he was Mu Bao Bao's disciple, they treated him more like someone from the same generation than someone from a lower generation.

Mu Bao Bao was a bit thrown off by this because it made it seem like she was pushed to an older generation even though she was younger than them, but still she was happy to see that they were getting along with Lin Fan.

These were her dear senior brothers and sisters, the people that she had grown up with. If they didn't approve of Lin Fan, while she wouldn't leave him because of it, she would certainly be sad.

So she was very happy to see them getting along well with Lin Fan.

After deciding this, they decided to immediately leave this place.

The enemy knew that they were here since this was the last place that they had fought the enemy, so they shouldn't stay here for long. After all, it was certain that the enemy would send someone to check this place.

So their first plan was to head back to Fair White City.

Along the way, Lin Fan also quickly picked up the spirit beast that he needed for his mission.

Normally he wouldn't let Mu Bao Bao help with his mission, but this was a special situation, so he had her use her spiritual sense to find the spirit beast that he needed for his mission. It didn't take any time at all for him to take it down since it was only in the Qi Gathering Realm and he was in the Foundation Realm.

As for why he did the mission, it was more because of his own pride.

If he as a S Rank Mercenary failed a B Rank Mission, it would definitely look bad.

This was the tiny bit of pride that he had.

As they were heading back, they also discussed another problem that they had.

It was a fact that junior brother Gu had been captured as well, this was something that they had confirmed with Han Fu Rong when they had interrogated him.

However, Lin Fan hadn't found another junior brother Gu at the manor and the one that he had found was an imposter.

So where was the real junior brother Gu?

The most likely answer was that junior brother Gu had already been taken away by the enemy and was currently being held at their base…

Even if they wanted to rescue him, it was impossible since they didn't know where the enemy base was in the first place. Not to mention that there would certainly be experts in the enemy base, experts that were much stronger than them.

So even if they were unwilling, they had no choice but to abandon junior brother Gu to his fate.

Perhaps the past Lin Fan wouldn't have accepted this so easily. Even if he knew that it was impossible to rescue junior brother Gu, he wouldn't give up all hope since there was still a chance to save him.

But the current Lin Fan thought differently.

He was determined to leave junior brother Gu to his own fate since he knew that this was just how the world was. Even if he wanted to save him, he knew that it would most likely be impossible, so he didn't hold false hope and he wouldn't waste more resources looking for him.

Sometimes, the only way the tree could grow was if they cut off the diseased branches.

It was just the way that things were in this world.

Once they arrived in Fair White City, they quickly split off into two groups.

Lin Fan went to the Mercenary Guild to turn in the mission so they could leave right away. Mu Bao Bao led her senior brothers and sisters back to their residence so they could wash up and have a proper meal. 𝑓𝑟eℯ𝒘𝗲𝑏n𝑜𝚟𝙚𝒍.𝒄o𝐦

After being locked up for so long, they definitely needed this.

So Lin Fan quickly headed to the Mercenary Guild and turned in the mission, but before he could leave, he was stopped by someone there.

It was one of the staff members that apparently had a message for him.

When Lin Fan saw the contents of the message, he couldn't help knitting his brows.

It was a message from Tian Xue who had already returned to Sunset City.

After what had happened between them and how close they've gotten, he had told her everything about Xiao Yue and the Sheng Family. At the same time, he told her about what happened with the person from the Sheng Family and the mission that had been released before.

She didn't judge him and understood his situation, so she promised that she would keep an eye out for the Sheng Family's forces in Sunset City. Though Lin Fan felt that it was already unnecessary since they had already taken care of it.

But now it seemed like Lin Fan was wrong.

If he had been keeping an eye out for them himself, he would have missed it, but it was different for Tian Xue who was the president of the Mercenary Guild branch in Sunset City. The information network that she had set up was not something that his information network could even compare to.

As soon as the retainer from the Sheng Family arrived, she had received news of it.

While she wasn't certain what this retainer was here for, he had come here on an official capacity to meet the city lord. Based on her guesses, it was most likely related to the servants of the Sheng Family that disappeared last time, so they were here to investigate.

While it did seem a little late, she also confirmed that this was normal since small matters like this were normally disregarded in large families like the Sheng Family. They would only be taken care of when there was nothing else to do.

Tian Xue promised that she would keep an eye on this person from the Sheng Family, but she also comforted him by saying that this was most likely nothing important.

Lin Fan didn't doubt her, but he did find it strange that the Sheng Family would still send someone here.

Could it be that there was a special need for the Daoist Seed that Xiao Yue had?

If that were the case, then this retainer sent wouldn't be normal…

Still, without any information right now, it was hard for him to make a decision.

He decided to leave it to Tian Xue since he trusted her judgement. After all, she wouldn't be the Mercenary Guild branch president if she didn't have this.

He didn't send a message back to her through the Mercenary Guild since he didn't know who he could trust. So he decided to send a message to her through his own network at the Royal Style Store instead once he got back.

When he arrived at the residence that everyone was waiting in, he saw that they had all washed up and changed clothes. He could also smell the food that had already been cooked and eaten.

After cleaning up, they indeed looked much better. They looked like one expected cultivators to look, they all looked very handsome and beautiful. Even senior brother Fan, who was a bit chubby, looked quite handsome.

But all of them had grim looks on their faces as they surrounded Mu Bao Bao.

Lin Fan couldn't help feeling that something was strange, so he went over to help her.

However, the moment that he came over, he was surrounded by the senior brothers and sisters.

Senior brother Ying took the lead and spoke for everyone by saying, "I heard that you have Han Fu Rong in captivity here. We want to see him."

Lin Fan was surprised to hear this, so he looked over at Mu Bao Bao who quickly explained everything in a low voice.

It turned out that she had accidentally told them that they were holding Han Fu Rong still. They already knew that he had captured Han Fu Rong and gotten information on the manor from him, but they didn't know that he was still holding Han Fu Rong.

As soon as they learned this fact, they immediately wanted to see him.

It was his fault that they were captured in the first place, so they had a grudge to settle.

However, Mu Bao Bao wouldn't tell them where he was. She felt that it was inappropriate for her to do this since Lin Fan might still have a use for Han Fu Rong, which was why he still kept him locked up.

But when Lin Fan heard this, he couldn't help revealing a warm smile as he patted her on the head. Then he turned to the senior brothers and sisters and said, "Alright, I'll lead you to him."

Mu Bao Bao was surprised by this and couldn't help pulling on his sleeve with a curious look.

Lin Fan explained, "I was holding him since I figured that your senior brothers and sisters would want to take their own revenge." Then he said in a lower and colder voice, "I can't forgive him for what he's done, plus it's a liability if we let him leave, don't you think?"

Mu Bao Bao gave a nod before revealing a firm look as well.

But then she suddenly worked up the courage to move forward and place a kiss on Lin Fan's cheek.

She had been shy about doing this kind of stuff in front of her senior brothers and sisters, but she couldn't help it after hearing what Lin Fan said. He always did all these things, thinking of her, that she felt that if she didn't do anything to show her gratitude that it would be wrong to him.

So the only thing that she could think of was giving him a kiss like this.

When the senior brothers and sisters saw this, they all revealed awkward smiles. f𝙧𝒆𝚎𝑤e𝚋𝓷o𝘷𝗲l.c𝐨m

Even though they had been disciples of the Love Sect, they had been focused on their cultivation and hadn't learned the dual cultivation techniques. They were still quite young and were very wet behind the ears, so they actually didn't have any cultivation partners.

Junior sister Yu couldn't help revealing a hint of jealousy when she saw this…

It wasn't that she was jealous of Lin Fan, but she was jealous that Mu Bao Bao had someone to do this with.

If only senior brother Ying…

Lin Fan smiled and patted her head before leading them to the dungeon where they were holding Han Fu Rong.

When he heard sounds, Han Fu Rong revealed a hopeful look.

Lin Fan had said that he would let him go after confirming what he said was true. While he didn't know how Lin Fan would do this, he was hopeful that Lin Fan would keep his word since that was the only way out for him.

He had been waiting a long time, so finally hearing sounds, he couldn't help feeling hopeful.

But the moment that he saw who it was, his face sank and the look of hope disappeared.
