Chapter 472 Forgotten Things
Chapter 472 Forgotten Things
?
Lin Fan had been trapped there with Yue Lan and Ming Xin for an hour, but in the end, they let him leave.
Or rather, they had no choice but to let him leave since they were needed somewhere else.
One of their subordinates came to tell them that they had a meeting somewhere else. This was an important meeting that they couldn't miss, so they had no choice but to go.
Ming Xin had tried pushing the meeting onto Yue Lan alone, but Yue Lan wouldn't allow that to happen.
So the two of them almost dragged each other out since they wouldn't let the other person spend more time with Lin Fan.
Lin Fan watched all of this with a bitter smile on his face, though he was glad to see that they were getting along.
Even though they didn't seem like they were getting along with the way they were dragging each other out, when one looked at it from a different angle, it was clear that they trusted each other and were close enough that they were able to do this with each other.
In some relationships, the more they fought, the closer they actually were.
This was one of those cases.
Since he had nothing else to do, Lin Fan decided to head to the Minor World.
It had been a long time since he had gone to the Minor World, even though he had been scheduled to go there during his trip.
So now that he had free time, he should show his face there and make up for his absence.
Even though she didn't need to hide in there, Senior Sister Bing spent most of her time in the Minor World. She still came out to eat with them and to do things, but this was where she had spent most of the past few years, so it was the place that she was comfortable with.
When Lin Fan came into the Minor World, he found that it wasn't just Senior Sister Bing, but also Lala, Xiao Yue, and Mu Bao Bao.
These four had the least responsibilities, so they had more free time than the others.
So right now, they were just having some afternoon tea.
When they saw Lin Fan appear though, they immediately dragged him over and started hugging his arms or sitting in his lap like Yue Lan and Ming Xin had done.
It seemed like all of them had these kinds of small selfish requests, but Lin Fan didn't mind.
He was here to make it up to them in the first place, so he would put up with whatever they wanted to do.
However, he really didn't have much to do as they did what they wanted with his body. So the only thing that he could do was look around the Minor World and react to what he saw.
But as he looked around the Minor World, he suddenly remembered something.
This was something that was quite important since it involved a person's life…
Turning to Senior Sister Bing, Lin Fan asked, "What happened to the prisoner?"
Senior Sister Bing had been enjoying herself while holding his arm, so she hadn't reacted right away. But then she looked up at him and tilted her head before saying, "They should still be there."
Lin Fan revealed a shocked look as he said, "They're still there? You didn't take care of them?"
Senior Sister Bing gave a shrug and said, "I forgot."
"Eh?" Lin Fan said with a bitter look on his face.
With a sigh, Lin Fan suddenly stood up.
The girls looked like they were about to protest, but he said, "We can't just leave here there. Let's go and see what happened to her."
They had unwilling looks on their faces, but they still followed him down into the dungeon.
They went through the empty dungeon until they reached the cell at the end.
This was the cell where they had kept Lu Ye…where they were still keeping Lu Ye according to Senior Sister Bing.
When Lin Fan looked into the cell, he found that Lu Ye was just lying there with a dead look in her eyes. It didn't even seem like she was breathing anymore…
But that was a problem!
After all, they had kept her alive because they needed her to identify the people that worked for the eighth prince. So if she were to die now…that would be bad for them.
Lin Fan turned to look at Senior Sister Bing with narrowed eyes, but Senior Sister Bing didn't back down as she calmly said, "The spirit beasts should have brought her food daily, so there's no reason she should be dead."
Lin Fan continued to stare at Senior Sister Bing with those same narrowed eyes, but she didn't flinch at all under his glare.
Seeing the serious look in her eyes, he knew that she was telling the truth.
So he turned to the system.
Since he had already tamed her as a slave, he could see her status through the system.
When he opened up her screen, he couldn't help letting out a sigh of relief.
That was because he could tell that she was still alive since she still had HP according to the system.
So she wasn't dead physically…but could it be that her mind was so broken that she had become broken as well.
If that was the case, that was also a problem…
If she couldn't think, then they wouldn't be able to use her for what they needed her for.
So he still had to check on her in the end.
Lin Fan opened the cell and slowly walked over to Lu Ye lying on the ground.
Even though there was the sound of the cell opening and the sound of him walking over, Lu Ye didn't react at all. She just laid there with the same dead look on her face, as if nothing from this world concerned her.
Lin Fan could at least see that the tray of food that had been brought for her was empty.
So that meant that she was still eating properly.
Since she didn't react at all, he walked over beside her and leaned down to look carefully at her.
Even though he was right in front of her, she still didn't react at all as her dead eyes looked up above her.
Seeing this, Lin Fan knew that he had no choice at all.
He leaned forward over her and then raised his hand to…slap her across the face.
With the first slap, there was a bit of light that came back to her eyes. With the second slap, Lu Ye slowly started to react as she looked right up at Lin Fan's face.
Then with the third slap, her eyes fully lit up and she got off the ground.
Without any hesitation at all, she fell onto her knees again and lowered her head in front of Lin Fan. While taking this position, she said, "Master! You're back! This slave has been waiting for your orders!"
Lin Fan was shocked by this sudden change in attitude from her.
After all, the last time he had seen her, she had been defiant and unwilling to cooperate.
She didn't have this personality!
So why was she suddenly acting like this?
After thinking for a bit, the only reason that Lin Fan could think of was the system…Or rather because of the slave taming of the Love Gauge Taming skill.
It seemed that the slave system really was different from the love taming.
It seemed that while the love taming was a mutual relationship, the slave taming was a one way thing.
With the way that Lu Ye was acting, it was almost as if he could even order her to kill herself and she would follow the order without hesitation.
But of course, there was no guilt that he felt from this.
In the first place, Lu Ye was his and Mu Bao Bao's enemy since she worked for the eighth prince. She had even tried to kill Mu Bao Bao by luring her in with the fake rumours, so there was no love lost between them.
Since she now followed all of his orders, this would make things easier.
Lin Fan looked down at her and said, "Stand up."
As soon as he said this, Lu Ye immediately stood up in front of him with an expectant look in her eyes.
It was something that Lin Fan had seen before.
This was the way that dogs looked at their master when they wanted a reward for doing something good…
It was like she was asking to be rewarded just for this.
But how could he give her a reward for something so simple?
Lin Fan looked at her and said, "Tell me, how do you feel about the eighth prince."
Lu Ye said without hesitation, "The eighth prince is nothing compared to my master. The only things that I care about are the master and his orders."
Lin Fan couldn't help being taken aback when he heard this.
He knew that she would say this, but the way that she said it without any hesitation surprised him.
It was almost as if her mind had been completely reprogrammed by the system…
But since she was like this, then he could use her.
So he reached out and took off her collar before saying, "Follow me."
The girls had been watching through the bars, but when they saw him take off her collar, they couldn't help being shocked. They were even more shocked when they saw him bringing her out of the cell.
Lin Fan ignored this shocked look and said, "Find some work for her. It's better than keeping her in the cell."
