Cultivation Pet Shop

Chapter 836 Moving (1)

A few minutes later, Lin Fan walked out of the alley that led to this empty area and he quickly left this place.

In the empty area that he had just been, there were several piles of flesh and blood that no longer looked human, but these were the remains of the people who had attacked him.

He could have easily gotten the information that he wanted just by using Brainy's Parasite Seed. He could have even easily gotten it with many other different methods that he had.

However, he chose to take care of Jiang Gan with the most painful method that he could.

That was because he still held a grudge over what happened with Xin'er.

If Jiang Gan had more evil intentions that day, perhaps it would be too late for Lin Fan to feel regret.

So he had taken precautions against it since that day, placing his pets near Xin'er to protect her just in case. However, he still held a grudge in his heart towards Jiang Gan over what had happened that day.

Which was why Jiang Gan suffered the fate that he faced now.

He didn't even bother cleaning them up because things like this were common in this slum city. There were corpses all over the place and even if these looked a bit more brutal than the normal corpses, no one would pay it any mind.

That was because the people of the slum city were just trying to survive and getting involved in these kinds of matters weren't good for them.

However, those corpses weren't left there for long.

Not long after Lin Fan left, there were cloaked figures that suddenly appeared in the open space where the fight had happened. They just calmly looked down at the meat piles on the ground and then with a wave of their hands, flames appeared to burn these meat piles to ashes.

Once the ashes had scattered on the wind, these people also cleaned up the area so that there wasn't a single trace of the battle left at all. When they were done, this empty area had returned to the way it was before.

But in the distance, there had been people watching the entire time.

All of them had noticed the terrifying might that Lin Fan had displayed and had sent reports back to their respective forces.

That included the Swift Lightning Gang.

When the young miss received the report about Lin Fan's battle, she couldn't help narrowing her eyes before saying, "Interesting, very interesting."

The tall cloaked figure beside her said in a worried voice, "Young miss, it's clear that this person is hiding something. We shouldn't be dealing with a person like this."

The young miss waved her hand and said, "Do you not trust my instincts?"

The tall cloaked figure couldn't help trembling when he heard this as he looked at the young miss with a shocked look.

The young miss was saying that this was what her instincts were telling her?

The young miss had obtained her current position with her intelligence and her instincts.

With these two things, she had created many miracles that had brought countless benefits to the family that had more than doubled their power. This was what had made her the gem of their family, trusted by all the elders.

That was also the reason why she had been given the full rights to make a decision when it came to Lin Fan. That was just how much the family head and the elders all trusted her.

Now that she was saying that her instincts were telling her to work with Lin Fan, the tall cloaked figure had no choice but to accept what she said.

However, he wasn't assured in leaving things as they were, so he said, "Young miss, shouldn't we assign someone to watch over this person?"

The young miss shook her head and said, "No, this person is clearly a cautious and intelligent person. If we were to do this, he would immediately have doubts towards us and that would hurt our future cooperation. This person is someone that we can only face with full sincerity or it will come to bite us in the butt in the future."

The tall cloaked figure clearly looked like he thought otherwise, but since the young miss had already spoken, it wasn't as if he could say anything else.

Since that was the case, he had no choice but to accept this situation.

But he still couldn't help feeling anxious.

…

Two days later, Zhong Jun made contact with Lin Fan again.

This time, he brought with him special documents that would allow him and Xin'er pass through the tunnel that led to the capital.

They had already discussed this through their subordinates previously, so now Zhong Jun was just bringing them the final products.

As for his end of the bargain, that still hadn't been fulfilled yet.

That was because the noble families moved slowly when it came to matters like this.

The noble family behind the Swift Lightning Gang needed time to gather members of the neutral faction that they wanted to take over the various gangs. So it would take a long time before they could set everything up.

Lin Fan was actually surprised that the nobles behind the Swift Lightning Gang had moved this fast.

Normally nobles wouldn't act until they received the benefits that they were promised, so Lin Fan had expected this to take at least a month before he heard back from the nobles. He never thought that they would take care of this in just two days.

While they said that it was for his protection since he had been attacked recently, but Lin Fan knew that this was just their sincerity.

To his surprise, they had even prepared an extra surprise for him.

Apparently they had remembered that he said that he wanted to open a pet shop, so they had actually bought him a pet shop as well.

While the location of the shop wasn't the best since it was only in a second grade business street, this was still considered quite good. After all, Lin Fan was sure that the businesses on the top business street were all businesses that were owned by nobles. Even the first grade business streets would most likely be owned by nobles.

They respected that he wanted peace and quiet, but they also knew that he wanted business, so they got him a store on one of the second grade business streets.

This was the best that they could do for someone like him who didn't have any influence or status in the capital.

Lin Fan understood all of this, which was why he was moved even more by it.

After receiving these documents, Lin Fan immediately packed up everything and prepared to head to the capital the next day.

As for what he did that day, naturally he stayed in the city to leave behind instructions for all his subordinates. At the same time, he also left behind one of the True Soul Realm Beasts and several Nascent Soul Realm Beasts.

He knew that there was a chance that they would be attacked again, so he wanted to leave some guards just in case.

All of these beasts had a Parasite Seed injected in them, so they would be able to contact Lin Fan at any time. Even if Lin Fan went far away from them by heading to the capital since Brainy had unlocked a new skill.

Brainy only had a certain distance that she could control her puppets from, but with this new skill, that wasn't a problem at all.

That was because this new skill allowed her to create small clones of herself to head with her puppets that acted as antennas. So even if she was far away, she could connect to these clones and control any puppets that were in the range of the clone.

Of course, there were also downsides to this new technique.

Such as the clones having a much smaller range due to them having a weaker cultivation than her.

Brainy was now in the Nascent Soul Realm, but the clones that she created were all only in the Embryo Soul Realm.

But even with these downsides, these clones were still very useful.

At the same time, Lin Fan would also be able to contact his subordinates through these pets. He had specially chosen beasts that were skilled in transforming into humans, so he would be able to contact his subordinates any time with Brainy and the clones.

So there wasn't a single thing that he was worried about in the slum city.

All he needed to worry about was how to settle in the capital city and what to do with Xin'er.

As they went to the capital city, there would be no doubt that there would be people that could recognize Xin'er…So Lin Fan had to be careful with Xin'er. He had already applied many arrays that would help hide her true appearance and her aura, but there were many experts in the capital with strange techniques, so he didn't know what to expect.

So with the remaining time that he had, he helped her refine many items that would help her at critical moments and items that would help her with her disguise, which he gave to her the morning they departed.

Xin'er didn't really understand what these things were for, but she happily accepted them since they were gifts from her big brother Lin.

With all this set, Lin Fan headed off to the capital with Xin'er.
