Cultivation Pet Shop

The moment that this was said, Lin Tian couldn't help stopping.

Since he knew about the duel, he naturally also knew about the bet that they had set.

But how could he allow that to happen?

Since he was forced into a corner by Lin Fan and he couldn't suppress him with Lin Jian here, he had no other choice…

Lin Tian turned around with a smile and said, "Great nephew, this is just a squabble between kids, is there a need to be that serious?"

His only choice now was to downplay it and try to use familial pressure to get Lin Fan to drop this matter.

Since he couldn't use force, he could only use a soft method to handle this matter. However, no matter how one looked at it, it was a very low handed method.

Even some of the Lin Astral Family juniors couldn't help revealing looks of disdain when they saw this.

But they couldn't say anything in this matter.

Lin Jian immediately knitted his brows when he heard this, but before he could say anything, Lin Fan suddenly said, "Alright, let's delay these matters by a few days since cousin Hong is injured. However, I will come and settle this matter in a few days."

While it wasn't the result that he wanted to see, it was still better than nothing. At the very least, he had bought himself a few days to come up with countermeasures for this matter.

So Lin Arian said with a smile, "Of course, great nephew."

But then when he turned around to leave, his face turned cold again.

Once they were all gone, Lin Jian asked Lin Fan, "Xiao Fan, is it really alright to let them leave like this?"

Lin Fan looked at Lin Jian with a smile and said, "Grandfather, I have my own considerations."

Seeing the confident look on his face, Lin Jian revealed an appreciative smile.

It seemed like Lin Fan already had his own considerations and he was just being nosy.

So he decided not to pursue this matter and leave this up to Lin Fan.

Instead, he changed the topic by saying, "Come with me, father wants to see you."

Lin Fan nodded and the two of them headed off.

…

In a private room.

Lin Fan entered with Lin Jian to see that the Lin Astral Emperor, the empress, and his parents were already there waiting for him.

When he saw Lin Ao, he couldn't help being a bit surprised.

That was because Lin Ao was completely covered in cuts.

But Yue Qingrou was already helping him wrap up his wounds and he could see the proud look on his face, so he knew that these were his scars of victory.

He knew better than to interrupt the lovey dovey time between his parents, that would never end well…

Perhaps if this kept going, it would be likely that he would get another sibling soon…

After sitting down, the Lin Astral Emperor asked, "How did it go?"

Lin Fan revealed a faint smile and said, "It's going slowly, but the plan is progressing."

The Lin Astral Emperor gave a nod before saying, "Good." Then after thinking about it, he said, "I should give you some kind of reward for this."

Lin Fan's smile became wider as he said, "Great grandfather, haven't you already done that?"

The Lin Astral Emperor was surprised to hear this, but then he revealed a wide smile as well before asking, "When did you notice?"

Lin Fan gave a chuckle and said, "Well, it was all too suspicious, so I had some people investigate."

As they had been coming back to the castle, Lin Fan had sent the people that the Lin Astral Emperor had assigned to him back to the auction house to check some things. The information that he had received had been what he had expected.

For the auction house to suddenly put the items that it had auctioned off today on auction, there had to be someone acting from behind the scene.

After all, these were all rare items that would normally never be auctioned off since the Lin Astral Family would strictly control them.

So the only way that these things could be sold is because…there was someone meddling.

As for who…

Who else would it be other than the Lin Astral Emperor who had complete control over the Lin Astral Family. If his permission wasn't given, would anyone dare to allow the auction house auction these things off?

So the only explanation was that the Lin Astral Emperor had given these items to the auction house.

But why would he do that?

It was for this reason that he had been given a hundred dragon vein crystals in the first place.

The Lin Astral Emperor wanted these items to end up in his hands.

It could be said that this was a reward that the Lin Astral Emperor had set up just for Lin Fan.

The Lin Astral Emperor gave another nod when he heard Lin Fan's response before saying, "Still, I should give you another reward for your hard work…What should I give you?"

Lin Fan's lips couldn't help twitching when he heard this.

The current Lin Astral Emperor was completely different from the Lin Astral Emperor that he had met when they first saw each other.

The current Lin Astral Emperor no longer had the serious tone that he had in the beginning, instead he now looked like a friendly old grandpa who looked a bit too young for his age.

As he fell into thought, the empress on the side suddenly said, "Dear, you can't keep doing this."

Lin Fan let out a secret sigh of relief when he heard this as he thought that the empress would restrain the Lin Astral Emperor, but her next words shocked that thought out of his mind.

The Lin Astral Empress said, "You have to remember to give something to Xue'er as well."

The Lin Astral Emperor was surprised when he heard this, but then he gave a serious nod of agreement.

These two had always been regretful about letting their son leave, so they had suppressed their pampering side. Not to mention that there had never been anyone in the Lin Astral Family that had caught their eyes since they were just prideful young scions that brought shame to their family.

So they had been suppressing their urge to pamper their grandchildren for the longest time.

But now that they had found Lin Fan, they could finally let that urge to pamper come out.

Lin Fan was the great grandson of their only son, so in a sense, he was also like their own grandson. Not to mention that he was talented and had a personality that matched their tastes, so they were more than happy to pamper him.

At the same time, during the month long trip that they took, the two of them had also spent quite a bit of time with Lin Xue and they had fallen in love with her as well.

She was a smart and beautiful girl, as well as being their granddaughter, so it was hard for them not to love her.

Now that they finally had grandchildren to spoil, they didn't hold back at all in spoiling them.

As for Lin Ao and Yue Qingrou, they didn't receive the same level of pampering since they could see the firm look in Lin Ao's eyes.

If they were to try and pamper him, it would just be a waste since he wouldn't accept anything. Yue Qingrou was deeply in love with Lin Ao, so she followed him and wouldn't accept anything from them.

So now Lin Fan and Lin Xue were stuck with the problem of being pampered by the two of them…

It would be fine if it was normal pampering, but the things that these two who stood at the peak of the Lin Astral Family gave…were anything but normal.

In the auction just now, Lin Fan had received a Ruler Artifact Embryo and a qilin egg that could become a Ruler Pet. Either of these things were more than enough to create a stir in the entire Lin Astral Empire, but both of them had ended up on him.

And that was just the beginning of being pampered by this royal couple.

Lin Fan already couldn't imagine what they would give him next and he felt a headache coming on.

But still, this was their way of showing love to their grandchildren, so he never stopped them and just politely accepted.

He could see the regret that they had and this was their way of making up for it. It wasn't anything bad and they were family, so he did want to help them.

But as he listened to their discussion about what to give them, he had no choice but to cut in since none of the others were saying anything.

Lin Jian, Lin Ao, and Yue Qingrou were just listening with smiles on their faces as if they had already accepted what the royal couple were planning to give.

But the words "planet", "secret realm", and "Ruler" were being thrown around like it was nothing, that it was just too scary to let them continue.

So Lin Fan gave a cough and said, "Grandfather, about the request that I made."

The Lin Astral Emperor and his wife were pulled back from their discussion when they heard this. He then said, "Oh, right, I've already gotten people to set it up and it'll be ready in a few days."

Lin Fan's eyes lit up when he heard this.

As for what it was that he had asked for…

It was naturally the pet shop!
