Cultivation Pet Shop

43 Chapter 43

When Wang Ning and Lin Fan walked through the gates of the school, they were suddenly hit with a burst of sound.

There were all kinds of different voices shouting out from their stalls, it really seemed like the festival was in full swing.

Wang Ning was easily affected by the mood and she began looking around at all the different things offered by the stalls.

Of course, she didn't forget to tease Lin Fan, "Owner Lin, since we're on a date, shouldn't you be a gentleman and offer to pay?"

Lin Fan's face turned dark when she said this.

He knew that Wang Ning was the daughter of a rich man as he saw the father and daughter pair in his store day after day. Just the amount that they had spent already was more than ten times what he had earned in his entire time running the store…

Yet here she was feeling no shame at all in asking Lin Fan to pay for everything for her.

If they were dating, maybe that would make sense, but clearly there was nothing between them.

But before Lin Fan could even say anything in response, there was a slender figure that ran over and took Wang Ning's hand.

Luo Qing said, "Ning Ning, you're finally here. Come, our class has been waiting for your help the entire time…" But it was at that moment that Luo Qing turned and saw Lin Fan.

Luo Qing immediately had a blush come over her face and she began stuttering her words. That had been her reaction recently whenever she saw Lin Fan.

But soon there was a feeling of displeasure that came over her when she thought about how Lin Fan was walking around alone with Wang Ning at the festival, it was almost like they were on a date.

Wang Ning saw the look on Luo Qing's face and tactfully explained, "I'm just guiding Owner Lin on his task. Apparently he's here delivering lunch for his little sister."

Luo Qing was surprised, but that feeling of displeasure quickly faded, "Oh, then maybe I can help as well. What grade is your little sister in and what is her name?"

Lin Fan also wanted to find her quick so he could drop off her lunch as soon as possible. There were quite a few sharp glares around him since he was currently standing there with two beautiful young girls.

Lin Fan said, "Her name's Lin Xue and I think she's in first year."

Both Wang Ning and Luo Qing were taken aback, "Are you sure her name's Lin Xue?"

Lin Fan raised a brow and said, "What do you mean? I don't know the name of my own little sister? Also, Luo Qing, shouldn't you know her already since you're always at my house?"

Luo Qing's face turned red from this since she hadn't told Wang Ning about this and Wang Ning suddenly revealed a smile like she had been fed something sweet.

Luo Qing said in a shy voice, "She was never around when I went, I was always in the kitchen with aunty or in the living room listening to our parents talking…"

Lin Fan gave an "oh" of understanding before saying, "Right, my little sister's name is Lin Xue."

Wang Ning revealed a doubtful gaze as she said, "There's only one girl named Lin Xue in first grade that I know about and she's the one who's top of the year. She's been nicknamed the Ice Princess because she's like a younger version of our Ice Queen here."

Lin Fan was surprised to hear this. He had known that his sister was talented, but he never expected her to be this famous.

Wang Ning continued, "I'm really wondering if you're just using the excuse of delivering lunch to your little sister as a way of getting closer to the Ice Princess."

Lin Fan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "I'm not trying to do anything, she really is my little sister…"

Wang Ning still looked at him with doubt, but then she said, "Alright, we'll help bring you to your little sister, but you need to help us with something first."

Lin Fan didn't really want to agree, but it was easier to help them than to search for Lin Xue by himself. Moreover, if his mother had heard that he didn't help Luo Qing, he would definitely get a stern lecture, "Alright, tell me what you need."

Wang Ning casually said, "Well there's a tournament this afternoon that I wanted to enter with Qing Qing, but we wouldn't have a chance of winning with how strong my pets are, so I want you to take my place."

Luo Qing's eyes opened wide and she quickly said, "Ning Ning, what are you saying…"

But before she could say anything else, Wang Ning had grabbed Luo Qing by the mouth and stopped her. Then she turned to Lin Fan and said, "Well, what do you say?"

Lin Fan felt that this was a rather simple request, but he also couldn't help feeling this was somehow a trap, so he asked, "But I'm not a student here, how can I enter the tournament?"

Wang Ning said with a smile, "It's a tournament that's open to everyone that comes to the festival and the prize is something that I really want, so that's why I really want to win."

Lin Fan was still doubtful, but he couldn't find any reason to refuse, so he said, "Alright, I'll help you. Where do we sign up for it?"

Wang Ning's smile became wider as she said, "Don't worry about it, I'll take care of the registration. How about we take you to see your little sister first?"

Lin Fan had no reason to disagree since this was the whole reason he was here, "Alright, let's go."

Wang Ning and Luo Qing led Lin Fan to the first grade building and along the way, they seemed like they were having quite the intense conversation. From time to time, Lin Fan could hear a few stray words like "couple" or "embarrassing", but he couldn't make any sense of it.

Finally when they reached the first grade building, Wang Ning and Luo Qing brought Lin Fan to Lin Xue's classroom where he found a cafe.

Wang Ning, Luo Qing, and Lin Fan were shown to a table and the maid that was in charge of taking their order was actually Lin Xue.

The moment Lin Xue saw Lin Fan sitting at the table, her heart skipped a beat, but then her entire body was covered in a cold chill when she saw Luo Qing and Wang Ning sitting with him. There was even a slight killing intent that filled her eyes.

One of her male classmates felt the cold chill coming from her and came over before she even said anything. He turned to Lin Fan and said, "Hey, what did you do to our Xue Xue? Don't make me throw you out…" As he was talking, he tried to move his hands closer to Lin Xue in a natural manner.

But before he could even finish talking, Lin Xue had slapped his hands away and said to him in an ice cold voice, "He's my brother, you're not qualified to throw him out."

The male classmate was just left there in a daze as Lin Fan just smiled at him and said, "You heard her, I'm her big brother. Thanks for taking care of our Lin Xue."

Lin Xue gave a cold snort as she said, "Don't be so proud of yourself, you're nothing more than a trash big brother."

Wang Ning and Luo Qing were taken aback by how Lin Xue treated Lin Fan. Lin Fan's shop was a shop that created miracles and he himself was clearly a powerful expert, so how could he be trash?

But they didn't say anything since this seemed like a matter between their family.

Lin Xue asked, "What are you doing here?"

Lin Fan said, "Well, you forgot your lunch this morning, so mom had me come and deliver it for you."

Lin Xue turned over to Luo Qing and Wang Ning, "Then what about them?"

Lin Fan just casually said, "They're acquaintances. You should know Luo Qing, she's the one who's been visiting with Uncle Luo lately."

Lin Xue narrowed her eyes as she looked over Luo Qing and Luo Qing for some reason felt the atmosphere become tense around her. It almost felt like Lin Xue wanted to have a fight with her.
