With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods

Lin Fan looked at her and even though her head was down, Lin Fan could imagine what kind of pain she was feeling right now.

However, there wasn't anything that he could do for her since as her father had said, this was their family's matter. The only thing that he could really do was try to comfort her as best as he could, but even then, he knew it wouldn't do much.

After thinking about it, Lin Fan asked, "Do you want to go home tonight?"

Lala thought about it before shaking her head and saying, "Since he already found me, he should have also found the place that I was renting."

Lin Fan gave a nod before asking, "Then do you want me to take you to the Mercenary Guild?"

Lala paused for a second before giving a nod.

The Mercenary Guild was the best place to go for them right now.

It wasn't appropriate for Lin Fan to bring him to his inn and his house wasn't ready yet. But even if it was ready, it still wouldn't be appropriate.

First, it would mean involving the other girls in his family in the Bai Family matter which he wasn't willing to see. Second, even if he was willing, Lala wouldn't be willing since she didn't want to bother Lin Fan with this matter.

What he had done at the restaurant was already enough.

The other reason was that Lala was a part of the Mercenary Guild, so at the very least, if she didn't want to do something, she would be able to rely on them to help her.

So without another word, Lin Fan brought Lala to the Mercenary Guild.

Since it was getting late, there weren't as many people in the Mercenary Guild as usual. There were still a few people who were drinking, but most people that wanted to drink had already gone to other restaurants since they couldn't cut loose in the Mercenary Guild as they could in other restaurants.

The people that were drinking here were those that wanted to drink alone or had just come back from a mission.

Luckily for them, they found that Tian Tian was at the counter.

Tian Tian already knew about their date since these receptionists liked to gossip with each other, so she was surprised when she saw Lin Fan bringing Lala back.

Then when she looked closer, she immediately noticed Lala's low mood and her sagged shoulders. When she saw this, she glared at Lin Fan with hostility.

But then that glare quickly disappeared.

After all, if Lin Fan had done something bad to Lala, why would he bring her back? Let alone the fact that she would let him bring her back like this?

So what happened shouldn't have been related to Lin Fan.

She knitted her brows to think for a bit before turning to Lin Fan and asking, "What happened?"

Lin Fan revealed an awkward look before saying, "Well…"

He quickly described what had happened at the restaurant to Tian Tian.

During his story, Tian Tian had taken Lala in her arms and was currently patting her on the back to comfort her.

After she finished listening to the story, she couldn't help knitting her brows.

Lin Fan saw that she wasn't saying a thing, so he couldn't help asking, "What do we do now?"

Tian Tian gave a sigh before saying, "This would be easy if it was just Lala's family, but now that this matter is even involving the Qian Family, we can't just sweep this under the rug that easily. We have to discuss this tomorrow before we can come up with a way to solve this."

Lin Fan looked at Lala and asked, "What are you planning on doing now? Are you going to stay at the Mercenary Guild?"

Tian Tian answered this question for Lala, "She'll stay with me in my room here."

But then she looked at Lin Fan with a teasing look and said, "Unless you were planning on offering to take her home?"

Lin Fan quickly waved his hands and said, "No, no, no, I wasn't thinking that at all."

Tian Tian looked at Lin Fan for a bit with a smile before saying with a serious look, "We'll need you to come in tomorrow as well since this will be involving you. Can you do that?"

Lin Fan gave a nod immediately, "Of course, I'll be here early in the morning."

Seeing that he didn't hesitate at all to agree, Tian Tian couldn't help shaking her head with a faint smile. Then she said with that same smile, "There's no need for you to come that early since you won't be a part of the talks. Just come in the afternoon. If you don't see me or Lala, just ask whoever's at the reception and they'll guide you to me."

Lin Fan nodded in response to this.

Since this matter was settled and it was getting late, Lin Fan didn't stay any longer.

After he left, Tian Tian said to Lala in a soft voice, "He's quite the catch isn't he?"

Lala gave a nod with a faint smile, but then that smile turned a bit bitter as she said, "It's just too bad that he's already taken."

Tian Tian looked at Lala with a smile and asked, "Is that a problem though?"

Lala looked at Tian Tian with a confused look and asked, "It's not?"

Tian Tian flicked Lala's forehead and said, "Silly girl, that only applies to normal people. For someone like him who will surely have a bright future, do you think the same rules apply?"

Lala revealed a stunned look, but then she slowly recovered to say, "No, they shouldn't…But…"

Tian Tian flicked Lala's forehead again before saying, "If you keep stalling, you might not even get a chance. To be honest, I'm even interested in him."

Lala revealed a stunned look, "Big sis, is that true?"

Tian Tian gave a shrug and said, "Why not? He's handsome enough and there's something about him that other men just don't have." She looked at Lala with a teasing look and said, "Isn't that what attracted you in the first place?"

There was a blush that appeared on Lala's cheeks.

Tian Tian didn't keep teasing Lala like this. Instead she took her arms and pulled her up the stairs of the Mercenary Guild to her room as she said, "Let's have some fun love talk tonight."

Lala had a bad premonition, but she could only give a nod in the end.

…

After leaving the Mercenary Guild, Lin Fan headed right back to the inn.

It was already getting late, so there wasn't much that he could do anyway.

However, both Yue Lan and Xiao Yue were surprised to see him back this early.

They knew about his date, so they thought that he would be back much later than this.

When met with those two curious gases, Lin Fan could only explain what happened with a bitter smile.

Xiao Yue didn't react much to this story, but Yue Lan had deeply knitted her brows while she was listening. She had especially had a strange expression on her face since hearing the words "Qian Family".

Lin Fan could see this, so after he finished, he asked, "Do you know the Qian Family?"

Yue Lan didn't reply right away. After hesitating a bit, she gave a nod and said, "I have some ideas about them."

Lin Fan asked, "What's wrong with the Qian Family? Aren't they just a normal noble family?"

Yue Lan lowered her head to think for a bit before saying, "Well it would be easier if they were a normal family since the Mercenary Guild could deal with them, but the Qian Family is the one family that is hard to deal with because they have a connection to a certain organization."

Lin Fan asked in a confused voice, "Certain organization? Which organization?"

Yue Lan hesitated a bit longer before saying, "A sect, the Blizzard Sect to be precise."

Sects…those were the organizations of cultivators…

While the Mercenary Guild was a powerful organization in its own right with influence across the entire continent, it should be the sects that hold true power in this land of cultivation…

And now there was a chance that Lin Fan had just gotten involved with a sect…

It would be fine if he had formed a good relationship with a sect, but instead, he had formed a bad relationship with a family that was connected to a sect.

Lin Fan's mind quickly turned before asking, "Which member of the Qian Family is in the Blizzard Sect?"

Yue Lan was surprised by Lin Fan's sudden question, but she still answered, "The first young master."

Lin Fan then followed up with, "What position does he have in the Blizzard Sect?"

Yue Lan thought about it before saying, "Last I heard he was an outer disciple, but he was also known for his talent and he might have already become an inner disciple."

Lin Fan deeply knitted his brows when he heard this.

He had a good idea how sects worked from the information that he had gathered himself.

Normally outer sect disciples were those in the Qi Gathering Realm since they were the most basic disciples of the sect. However, it was different when it came to inner disciples.

Inner disciples had to be in the Foundation Realm to become an inner disciple.

If the Qian Family's first young master was indeed an inner disciple, that would mean that he was already in the Foundation Realm!
