With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods

Chapter 354 Strange Girl

?

Their exit was as smooth as their entrance, no it was even smoother.

Since they knew what was outside, it took them no effort at all to get out of the cave.

Instead of wasting more of Mu Bao Bao's spiritual energy, he smoothly created the illusion spell outside to hide them coming out before releasing it. There wasn't even a single second of delay in dropping that spell.

Even with how tight the window was, there wasn't a single person who was able to see anything wrong with it.

So with this, they quickly made their way to a clearing far away from that lake.

When they were alone, Lin Fan turned to Mu Bao Bao and waited for her to speak.

She hadn't said a thing when they were down in that cave when he asked her what was wrong, so now he was waiting for her to explain.

But Mu Bao Bao didn't say a thing once they arrived in this clearing.

She just looked forward with knitted brows as if she was still thinking about something.

Lin Fan just patiently waited for her to organize her thoughts.

After a long time, Mu Bao Bao finally turned to say, "It's not related to the Love Sect, but at the same time, it is related to the Love Sect. It's a very long story, so I don't know if you want to hear it."

Lin Fan could see the pained look in her eyes, so he shook his head and said, "If you don't want to talk about it, you don't have to talk about it."

There was a trace of gratitude that appeared in Mu Bao Bao's eyes when she heard this, but in the end, she still said with a sigh, "It's better that you understand what the situation is so you can deal with it."

Lin Fan didn't say anything, he just gave a simple nod in response.

With this, Mu Bao Bao started her story.

It wasn't a very long story, but it was a complicated story.

There was once a Love Sect disciple who was very talented, but that talent came with a price.

That talent meant that they developed much faster than all of their peers and they stood out more than everyone else. This caused them to attract the wrong kind of attention from the other sects.

Because they attracted the wrong kind of attention, they drew danger to themselves.

The Love Sect was powerful, but they couldn't stop everything.

So when people started getting hurt because of this talented disciple, that talented disciple couldn't see them being hurt for them anymore. So that talented disciple decided to leave the Love Sect.

But that talented disciple didn't forget everything that the Love Sect had done for them, so they promised that if the Love Sect ever needed anything from them, they would be there for the Love Sect.

"So you're saying that the one who created that cave is that person?" Lin Fan asked.

Mu Bao Bao didn't answer at first, but then she gave a slow nod in response.

Lin Fan couldn't help feeling that there was something strange about the way that she had answered, but he still waited for her to speak.

After a long period of silence, Mu Bao Bao said in a voice that almost seemed like she was talking to herself, "We haven't heard from them in over ten years, I never would have thought that they would still care so much about the Love Sect still…"

Lin Fan could hear the concern in her voice when she said this.

It was clear to him what Mu Bao Bao wanted to do, but he grabbed her hand and pulled her attention over to him. When she looked over at him, he shook his head as if he was telling her not to do something.

Mu Bao Bao was taken aback when she saw this, but in the end, she gave a nod and said, "I know…" Then after a pause, she added, "I still have to give it a try."

Lin Fan nodded in response to this before saying, "I'm not saying to ignore it, I'm just telling you not to be impulsive."

After hearing this, Mu Bao Bao was silent for a bit longer before nodding in response to this.

She also knew that even if she wanted to do something, there wasn't anything that she could do right now. With the situation in the city, she would just be causing more trouble by trying to do something at this point.

So even if she was unwilling, she had to accept that she couldn't do anything.

With that settled, they didn't waste any time to head back to the city.

As they were heading back, both of them were thinking about different things.

Mu Bao Bao was still thinking about that talented disciple who went off on their own and Lin Fan…

Lin Fan was thinking about the door in that room.

As he thought about that door, he couldn't help feeling that the dent in the door seemed very familiar. It was almost as if he had seen it somewhere before, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

When they arrived back at the city, they were able to easily make it through the guards since they had already been registered as leaving the city.

Unlike those that were entering the city for the first time that needed to be thoroughly checked, those that registered before leaving the city would be able to get through with a much more simple check.

So with a simple check of the things that they brought in, they were allowed in without any fuss.

Then after entering the city, they quickly made their way to the Mercenary Guild to turn in their mission.

The most important thing for them right now was to keep their cover, so everything that they did was with that in mind.

They arrived in the city as mercenaries and they had gone out for a mission, so naturally the first thing that they would do is go to the Mercenary Guild to turn in their mission.

The Mercenary Guild was still the same as the day they had arrived, it was still packed full of people.

No, it was actually filled with more people as more and more people were allowed to enter the city.

However, just like on the first day, most of them lounged around without doing anything.

Lin Fan didn't even need to release Greeny's puppets to know what they were talking about, but he still did release them in the end since he wanted to see if there were any new rumours that had popped up today.

But to his disappointment, he wasn't able to find anything.

After handing over the spirit beast corpse at the turn in desk and settling the mission with the receptionist that had greeted them the first time, they headed out of the Mercenary Guild.

But they didn't head back to the inn right away.

They could get away with it on the first day since people would assume that they were tired from traveling, but now they had to wander around the city a bit to keep up appearances.

Of course, Mu Bao Bao didn't mind this since she just treated this as a little date instead.

They headed to one of the business streets to get some food since it was around time for dinner.

As they were walking along, they couldn't help hearing a commotion coming from in front of them.

There was even a crowd that had gathered in front of them.

But they walked on by as if they weren't planning on even taking a look at this. After all, they were trying to keep themselves hidden, so involving themselves in a matter like this would be counterproductive to them.

It was just too bad that this matter decided to get involved with them anyway.

As they were walking back, there was a girl that suddenly ran out of the crowd and ran over to where Lin Fan was. This girl didn't hesitate at all as she suddenly grabbed Lin Fan's arm and hugged it tight.

Lin Fan was completely caught off guard by this and he turned back to look at the girl.

However, before he could get a good look at the girl, there was a voice that shouted, "Get lost if you want to keep your life!"

Lin Fan could clearly hear the hostility in this voice, so he had to turn in that direction.

Standing there was a large man who was the perfect example of a thug that was at the head of a group of thugs. They had pushed their way through the crowd and were now standing there facing Lin Fan.

The leader of this group had an ugly expression on his face as he looked at the girl who was hugging Lin Fan's arm.

It didn't take much thought for Lin Fan to guess what this situation was and he didn't want to get involved in this, but at the same time, there was a small part of him that didn't want to leave the girl alone…

After all, this was a girl who was being threatened by a bunch of thugs.

In his dilemma, he ignored the group of thugs and looked down at the girl.

It was then that he took a look at this girl and he couldn't help knitting his brows.

Even though this girl was beautiful, he couldn't help feeling that there was something strange about her.
