Chapter 592 Returning home
Since everything had been taken care of, it was time for them to return.
If they stayed any longer, it would be suspicious to the other sects that they were staying this long.
From time to time, the elders had taken turns returning to the camp to find information and they had learned that there were now enough spirit beasts killed for the mission to be considered finished.
So it was time for them to return to Dungeon City.
But of course, it wasn't as if they could just all leave the Minor World and go back.
They had to split up into different groups and come back to the camp at different times.
So for that, Lin Fan left the Minor World first.
Then he wandered around the wilderness to let the disciples and elders out in groups.
These groups would make their own way back to the camp.
In the end, it was only Lin Fan and his disciples that were left.
They too also made their way back to the camp.
Once everyone was gathered, the camp was packed up and they returned to Dungeon City.
There was nothing that happened on their way back.
It seemed like the different powers that had sent their spies to watch over the Love Sect had seen their power and didn't want to push their luck. So they just allowed the Love Sect disciples to move freely through the wilderness.
When they came back to the city, they were immediately welcomed back by those that had stayed.
But they couldn't just go and report on what had happened.
Since this was an official mission and decree from the Mu Empire's ruler, Mu Bao Bao, they had to go through the official ceremony first.
This was something that the ministers that advised Mu Bao Bao would not allow to be skipped.
So they quickly gathered in front of the town hall and they made the announcement.
Since it was a rushed ceremony, it was finished in no time.
But it was important since it was a demonstration to the people of Mu Bao Bao's stance towards the Love Sect.
Even the ministers didn't expect the Love Sect to be this important to her.
Once the ceremony was over, they finally let Mu Bao Bao meet with us in private since if they tried to stop her any longer, they had no idea what kind of crazy things she would do.
As usual, they met up in that room.
After they met up in that room, Lin Fan told them the story of what happened in the Minor World.
When they finished hearing the story, all of them remained silent as they processed this.
The one that spoke first was…Yue Lan.
"Can we see the Minor World?" That was her first response to this.
Lin Fan was surprised to hear this, but he slowly gave a nod before taking out the silver orb.
Then with a thought, all of them were brought into the Minor World.
The hole that they fell in before was only one of the gates into the Minor World, but after Lin Fan took control of the Minor World, he was able to set the gates as he wanted. It was just like how Senior Sister Bing pulled them into her Minor World at will.
When they arrived in the Minor World, they arrived at the clearing that the exit was and around this area was a barrier.
This was the barrier that Lin Fan had set up before leaving this Minor World.
It was just like the barrier that had been around this area before that kept the spirit beasts from finding this place.
But this time, the barrier was much smaller than before.
It was only big enough to surround the clearing and wasn't bigger than that.
It seemed like it was only there to protect the exit.
After Lin Fan had taken over this Minor World, he had found what had erected this barrier in the first place.
It was a giant array that was erected under the ground of the exit portal. It was far bigger than the barrier that had been erected before and he could control how big of a barrier he wanted to make.
So Lin Fan used that array to create this barrier around the clearing with the exit.
He just wanted to protect the exit portal from the spirit beasts that wandered around.
There was plenty of energy left in the power supply of the barrier, so this could be maintained for hundreds of years even without a contribution from Lin Fan.
But that wasn't the only thing that protected this exit portal.
When one looked closely, they could see that there were spirit beasts that stood outside the barrier. But instead of facing the direction of the exit portal, they were looking outwards towards the forest.
It was almost as if they were here guarding the exit portal.
While the girls were looking around, Lin Fan went over to one of the spirit beasts.
When he came out of the portal and the spirit beast saw him, it immediately gave a salute to him which made him reveal a strange smile with how weird it looked.
He had taught this to the Control Toad, but he never thought that it would make all of these puppets do the same when greeting him.
That's right, the spirit beasts that were currently around the barrier were puppets of the Control Toad.
They had been placed here as an extra security measure by Lin Fan just in case anything happened.
All of the Control Worms in these puppets had received orders from the Control Toad, so they knew what they had to do. As long as the Control Toad was fine, they would have stayed here until the end of time.
After making sure that nothing was wrong, Lin Fan went back to the girls.
When he saw the looks on their faces though…or rather when he saw the look on the faces of Yue Lan and Ming Xin, he couldn't help revealing a bitter smile.
That was because they looked like they had discovered a large opportunity.
He didn't know what they were planning, but he was certain that they were planning to do something with this Minor World. So he asked with a bitter smile, "What are you thinking?"
The two of them looked at him and said, "This is a large business opportunity. Don't you see all the things that are here?"
Lin Fan gave a nod, but he said, "It's going to be used to develop the Love Sect."
The two of them revealed displeased looks when they heard this before Yue Lan said, "The things in here are all excellent quality and there's a wide variety of items, it is far beyond what is in Senior Sister Bing's Minor World."
She turned to look at Senior Sister Bing with an apologetic look and said, "Sorry."
But Senior Sister Bing just shook her head and revealed a look like she understood.
She had eyes, so she could see that this was the truth.
The Minor World that she had found belonged to a weaker expert, so she didn't expect that it would be better than this Minor World.
This Minor World was one that belonged to a peak expert, so of course it would have much better things.
Yue Lan turned back to me and said, "I was worried about our supplies with how fast we've been expanding, but with this…"
Ming Xin gave a nod of agreement when she heard this.
She had been helping Yue Lan with not just managing the city, but also with the Royal Style Store.
With Mu Bao Bao becoming the empress, they were now able to expand their business as far as they wanted in the Mu Empire. They didn't miss that chance and seized it as much as they could.
But the problem was a lack of supplies for these stores.
Even if Mu Bao Bao had become the empress, that didn't mean that she could force everyone to trade with them.
There were businesses that were threatened by them and had been restricting their supply lines to stop them from expanding further.
So Yue Lan and Ming Xin had been worrying about this problem.
But now, Lin Fan brought them a perfect solution.
Lin Fan could see the looks on their faces and understood their problems.
While he wanted to support them, he knew that he wasn't able to since this wasn't the most pressing issue that they had.
What he wanted to do now was help the Love Sect grow since that would be what they would depend on to protect themselves.
Just because there was a period of peace didn't mean that this peace would last forever.
Right now, they had to become stronger before the enemies came and that meant using the resources that they had to strengthen the Love Sect. They couldn't use these resources to build the business right now.
But the one that broke this impasse was…Mu Bao Bao.
"There's enough for both of these things." She suddenly said which cut through the silence.
All three of them turned to look at Mu Bao Bao with surprised looks when they heard this.
Mu Bao Bao pointed at the forest around us and said, "Just the things in the surrounding area are already enough to supply all of the stores. The rest can be bought from the other suppliers that are still willing to trade with us."
