With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods

Chapter 458 Shocking Letter

?

Lin Fan narrowed his eyes to look at the piece of paper that the fourth prince was handing him. His eyes were filled with doubt as he looked at this piece of paper, but he still took it in the end.

As he brought it up to look at, he was immediately surprised to sense the power that was coming from it.

Whoever had written on this clearly wasn't a weak person…

This aura…was even stronger than the aura that he received from Mu Bao Bao when she released her full power.

But who was this from?

When he saw the symbol that was on it, he immediately understood who this was a letter from.

It was the symbol of the Mu Royal Family and not only that, it was the symbol that was like the token that he had seen last time. This meant that this…was most likely a letter from the emperor himself.

But that just made Lin Fan even more worried.

He had already heard the fourth prince say that this was a request from his royal father, but he never expected a formal piece of writing from the emperor.

This was far beyond just a verbal request since there was actual proof of this request.

This meant that this wasn't a vague request, but a sincere request from the emperor.

Something like this was without a doubt very dangerous, which is why Lin Fan became even more worried.

Still, he had taken it, so he had to read it at the very least.

The moment that he read it…he couldn't help being shocked.

There was nothing serious about this letter at all, it was as if it was just a simple letter from the emperor to him. But the way that the letter was written was completely strange since it had many details that he didn't understand.

The emperor talked about things that seemed arbitrary, but these things also seemed to have a deeper meaning.

It was almost as if this letter wasn't a letter addressed to him, but rather addressed to someone else.

The moment that he saw it, he had already guessed who this letter was really for…

At the very end of the letter though, there was a line that seemed to be addressed to him.

"Thank you for taking care of my daughter during this time and I hope that you can bring her to see me…"

The final part of the letter made Lin Fan immediately knit his brows when he read this.

After reading it several times to make sure that he hadn't made a mistake, he looked back up at the fourth prince. He looked at the fourth prince with narrowed eyes and a serious look, as if he was gauging him.

However, judging by the expression on the fourth prince's face, it didn't seem like he knew anything about this.

It even looked like he didn't know what was written in the letter at all.

But if that was the case, then Lin Fan was even more confused.

The fourth prince didn't know a thing and the emperor knew everything, so why did he send the fourth prince? Was he not scared that the fourth prince would do something once he found out the truth?

Or could it be that the emperor had a deeper meaning to this?

All of this completely confused Lin Fan since he didn't understand what the emperor's play here was.

It all seemed like a very random thing that he was doing…

Almost as if he didn't have a plan at all and he just sincerely wanted to see his daughter.

But that scared Lin Fan even more.

The last line in that letter contained just too much for him to calmly accept.

The first part alone was shocking enough, but the second part…was enough to not just shock him, but shock the entire nation.

So this wasn't something that he could decide on his own, even if every cell of his body was screaming at him to stay out of this matter.

He would have to discuss this with Mu Bao Bao before making a decision.

So Lin Fan put away the piece of paper before saying, "Your highness, I need to go back and discuss this with the others before making a decision."

The fourth prince slightly knitted his brows when he heard the way that Lin Fan had addressed him before he gave a small sigh.

He already knew that this matter would create a rift between them, but he was stuck in the middle of this and had no choice on how to act. So the only thing that he could do was follow the instructions that his royal father had given him.

The guards around him couldn't help knitting their brows as well.

They had already found Lin Fan displeasing to the eye, but hearing the way that he addressed the fourth prince, they were even more displeased. They couldn't take it and were about to say something, but the fourth prince suddenly raised his hand to stop them.

After shaking his head at them, the fourth prince turned to look at Lin Fan with a smile as he said, "Please, take as much time as you need. I hope that I will hear a favourable response from you."

Then as Lin Fan stood up to leave, the fourth prince added, "My royal father also wanted me to remind you that there's not much time left, so he hopes that you will come as soon as possible."

These words made Lin Fan knit his brows, but he didn't turn around.

He just gave a simple nod before walking out of the room.

Once he was gone, the fourth prince's subordinates wanted to say something, but the fourth prince raised his hand to stop them.

All of them looked unreconciled until the fourth prince suddenly glared at them with a sharp gaze.

These subordinates didn't understand what they had done wrong, but they immediately backed down. They bowed their heads and started to apologize, even though they didn't feel like they had done anything wrong.

But the fourth prince just completely ignored them.

He looked in the direction that Lin Fan had walked out in and just stared at the door in silence for a bit.

After a long time, he couldn't help letting out a sigh.

That was because he felt a lot of regret over this matter.

Lin Fan was a person that he valued since he could tell that he wasn't normal. He had given Lin Fan two different missions that had been hard for everyone else, but Lin Fan had completed them perfectly and given him surprises that he didn't even expect.

This just showed that Lin Fan's abilities were far beyond what he could imagine…

This was someone that would be very good to have in the future for the sake of their Mu Empire.

However, he was certain that there was a rift that was created between them after what happened today.

That was the thing that he regretted the most.

If only he could have found some way to maintain the relationship that he had with Lin Fan, perhaps it wouldn't have been as bad.

But he was stuck in the middle and could only act out the role that he had been given.

He had no choice but to act on behalf of his royal father and do what he told him to do.

In the future, there would be no chance to rebuild the relationship that he once had with Lin Fan. This was something that he was certain of.

So the fourth prince couldn't help giving another sigh as this thought passed through his mind.

…

After Lin Fan left the fourth prince's residence, he returned back to his manor where they were all waiting for him.

When he walked in, all of the girls suddenly surrounded him and looked all over his body.

They didn't miss a single inch of his body as they went around making sure that he wasn't hurt at all.

Once they had finished this, they pulled out a chair and patted it, as if signalling for him to sit down.

With a bitter smile, Lin Fan sat down with them standing all around him. With the way that he was sitting, it was almost as if he was being interrogated right now…no, he was indeed being interrogated and the topic of this interrogation was the meeting he had with the fourth prince.

With all of these gazes on him, Lin Fan had no choice but to share with them what had happened in the meeting with the fourth prince.

He didn't miss a single detail since in the first place, he was able to trust them completely. There wasn't anything that he needed to hide from these girls that he would trust with his life.

As they listened, they couldn't help knitting their brows since they all felt that something was off like Lin Fan had.

Then when he came to the letter, they quickly urged him to take it out.

However, Lin Fan refused to do this and turned to look at Mu Bao Bao.

He took her by the hand and pulled her into a corner so that they were alone.

It was only when they were alone that he took out the letter for Mu Bao Bao to read.

Then he turned back and stood between her and the rest of the girls, making sure that they kept their distance from her.

The other girls were confused by this, but they at least respected Lin Fan's decision and Mu Bao Bao's privacy, so they didn't try to peek at it.

Mu Bao Bao looked down at the letter and when she did, her expression changed.
