Cultivation Pet Shop

When Lin Fan walked out of the Tamers Guild, he had a smile on his face.

After all, he had accomplished what he had set out to do and even more than that, so there was nothing for him to be unhappy with.

As he walked along, there were people that pointed and whispered at him.

These were all people who had heard about his performance today or had personally witnessed his performance. However, not all the whispers that he could hear were about his performance.

Rather the majority of them weren't actually about his performance, but rather about how handsome he was.

But Lin Fan wasn't egotistical enough to let this affect him. He just felt a bit good about himself, but he still calmly headed back to his shop.

Once he was back, he saw that there was no reason for him to open the shop again since it wouldn't be open that long, so he decided to take the rest of the day off.

The night passed just like that and it was a new day again.

The usual morning rush came and then the store became empty.

Another hour or so passed before anything happened.

In the middle of the morning, close to noon, there was a beast carriage that arrived in front of Lin Fan's store. This was a beast carriage that was completely different from all the other ones that had come previously.

This was a beast carriage that had a crest that no one recognized because it also had the crest of another city on it.

It was clear that this wasn't one of the important people from their Harmony City, but rather some important person from another city.

People had a natural tendency to be curious about things that they didn't know about and since the people here had a natural tendency to gossip, they all gathered around the beast carriage to see who was inside.

However, the moment that the door opened, they were taken aback by the one who came out since it was a beauty that was on the same level as the Five Flowers of Harmony City.

It was a beauty that was dressed in red with fiery red hair, it was no one else but Murong Yue.

She ignored the crowd that gathered around her beast carriage and headed right into Lin Fan's shop.

Everyone around couldn't help taking pictures of her as she walked past them and they quickly posted them on the city forums, trying to find an answer as to who she was. After all, this was a beauty that was on the same level as the Five Flowers of Harmony City, so naturally they would be curious who she really was.

There were even some young masters who wanted to make their way down to Lin Fan's shop just to see if they had a chance with her.

When Murong Yue came into the shop, she didn't bother with the few people who were pretending to look around and came right up to the counter where Lin Fan was sitting, looking at something on his watch.

When Lin Fan heard the door open, he looked up and was surprised to see Murong Yue was there, but he still waited for her to come up to the counter first.

When she came up to the counter, she said with a smile, "Owner Lin, can we have a private conversation?"

The way she said it almost seemed like there was something special between them, but Lin Fan knew that this wasn't the case. For her to come to his store, it must mean that it was something quite serious.

Lin Fan looked at her for a few seconds before tapping his finger on the table.

The moment that his finger touched the table, there was a ripple that came from it before forming an invisible bubble around them.

The moment that this bubble appeared, it completely isolated them from the rest of the store. Or at least it isolated the sound inside of the bubble from the sound that was outside of the bubble.

This was an application of both the space law and sound law that Lin Fan had, so the isolation effect was much stronger than if just one law was used alone.

Murong Yue was surprised when she suddenly noticed that all the sound around her had disappeared, but that didn't last long since she could feel the life energy bubble that was around them. However, she still couldn't help looking at Lin Fan with a look of admiration.

It seemed that he had much more up his sleeve than she had expected, but that was a good thing since that meant that he was a reliable ally.

Once this bubble was formed, Lin Fan raised his hand and gave an inviting gesture, as if he was waiting for her to speak.

Murong Yue didn't mind the way he acted and said, "The Thunder Sect will be holding the auction for the remaining tokens in a few days. They've already given away ten tokens in private deals and now they're auctioning off the remaining twenty at the auction."

Lin Fan looked at her with one raised brow and said, "And?"

Murong Yue didn't mind again as she continued, "They've invited the Hunters Organization and the president wants you to go."

Lin Fan slightly knitted his brows when he heard this.

After all, without a proper reason, he would be one of the last people chosen to go. This was an auction where the last few tokens for the Ancient Era Ruin would be sold, it should be an auction that should be attended by the important people of the twelve great factions, not someone like him.

And yet Murong Yue was here inviting him to go.

That must mean that something should have happened, or at least the Thunder Sect had made some kind of move.

Seeing the look on Lin Fan's face, Murong Yue explained without even being asked to do so, "The invitation was addressed to me and it stated that this would be hosted by the younger generation of the Thunder Sect and the True Spirit Sect. If we were to send any of the older generation, wouldn't that seem like we're afraid of them?"

Lin Fan's brows relaxed when he heard this and he asked with a smile, "So it seems like Lei Feng hasn't given up yet?"

Murong Yue revealed a bitter smile when she heard this, but she didn't say anything in response. However, there was no need for her to respond since the bitter smile on her face said more than enough.

After a while, Lin Fan asked, "Since you already have your tokens, is there any meaning in going to this auction?"

Murong Yue revealed a proper smile this time as she asked, "Do you really want me to answer that?"

Lin Fan also revealed a smile, but he didn't say anything in response.

He had never expected an answer for this question since this was just a test question that he asked to probe Murong Yue, or rather to probe the stance of the Hunters Organization.

Each of the twelve great factions had different factions and families under them that weren't a part of the twelve great factions. These could be considered vassals that worked for the twelve great factions, so they were still considered part of the unaffiliated group.

In other words, that meant that they were eligible to bid during this auction.

The only reason the twelve great factions would be going themselves would be to make sure that things didn't go wrong for these factions and families under them, as well as deciding when to pull out.

The one last thing that Lin Fan was hesitating over was whether to anger the Thunder Sect and True Spirit Sect even further. Or rather, he was hesitating over angering Lei Feng even further.

It was clear that Murong Yue wanted him along as a barrier against Lei Feng, but Lin Fan knew that while it was fine to anger him to force him to become irrational, if he were to push him over the line, there were no benefits for him.

He wasn't able to fully gauge where he was currently with Lei Feng, so doing this without proper information would be considered a gamble for him.

Murong Yue could also see the hesitation in Lin Fan's eyes and she started to worry since she knew that she was asking a lot from Lin Fan. There certainly weren't enough benefits that were added to this deal that would make Lin Fan willing to do this for her, not to mention that they were only acquaintances, so they weren't that close in the first place.

While the two of them just remained in silence, looking at each other, the door opened once again.

It had been less than fifteen minutes since Murong Yue had arrived, but somehow Lei Feng had already made his way down to Lin Fan's shop.

Seeing the two of them at the counter, one standing and one sitting, looking at each other like that, there was an intense flame of rage that consumed his heart. However, his expression was as calm as still water as he slowly walked towards the counter.

When he got close, he could feel that there was some form of bubble that surrounded the two of them which filled him with even more rage.

The two of them had formed this bubble to get their private time?

Wasn't this a slap to his face?
