Novel Full Chapter 686 Tournament
It was a normal day for the store, but this time, the store wasn’t as empty as before.
Even after coming back, Lin Fan didn’t take over the counter of the store, so it was still Lulu who sat at the front every day. As well as the two ghost maids that Momonga summoned that took care of business in the store.
Because of this, there were still plenty of people who came to the store to stare at these three girls.
Of course, now that Mo Ze Chen was back, he did chase off quite a few of them and got into quite a few arguments with those that didn’t leave. As for fighting him…as long as they were in Lin Fan’s store, they didn’t dare do that.
Since Mo Ze Chen was helping out in the store, he was considered an employee and the store’s defense system would help him take care of anyone making trouble.
So since then, no one had dared to use force against Mo Ze Chen even though he was weaker than them.
But as the store was having a normal day, there was a customer that suddenly came in that changed all of that.
This customer came up to the counter, ignoring the line of people that were there and asked Lulu, “Is Owner Lin in?”
Lulu looked over at this customer and seeing who it was, she gave a nod and said, “I’ll go get him for you.”
The customer gave a nod and just stood at the counter waiting as Lulu ran into the back.
As for the other customers, not a single one of them gave a single complaint because they were happy to see this person. After all, this person was Qiao Yi Fei, one of the Five Flowers of Harmony City…No, it should be one of the Six Flowers of Harmony City.
That’s right, ever since Lulu appeared, the title had changed.
Everyone was now calling Lulu the sixth flower of Harmony City on the message boards…Even her fan club had reached a level that was just second to the previous five flowers. The only reason that it couldn’t reach the same level was because she was too new to Harmony City and there hadn’t been enough time for people to gather yet. However, in time, she would certainly reach the same level as the other five since she wasn’t any less beautiful than them.
As for Lulu’s plan to keep a low profile, that was already thrown out the window…
So of course none of the customers had any complaints about Qiao Yi Fei skipping the line and coming right to the counter. Most of them were actually fans of Qiao Yi Fei as well and having this chance to see their goddess up close was more than they could ask for.
There were even some that were working up the courage to walk up to talk to her, but after one person tried, they were immediately chased off with a cold look. After that, no one else dared to make a move.
After a few minutes, Lulu came back with Lin Fan behind her.
When Lin Fan saw who it was that was calling for him, he wasn’t surprised since there were only a few people that he could be considered acquainted with in Harmony City. Not to mention that Qiao Yi Fei was the one that contacted him the most when it came to matters with the Hunters Organization.
The only thing that he was surprised about was how early she had shown up.
He had thought that it would take at least another two weeks before any of the twelve great factions made a move.
But still, she was here, so it meant that something was up.
So Lin Fan gave a nod to Lulu and said, “Go and help the other two girls in the store, I’ll take over the counter.”
Lulu looked at Qiao Yi Fei before turning back to Lin Fan to give a nod.
She took Mo Ze Chen by the hand and pulled him out to the store. But when she did so, there were quite a few people that looked at Mo Ze Chen with death glares.
Mo Ze Chen didn’t mind all of this as he turned to look at them with a smug smile.
However, even with Lulu gone, there were still a few people who remained at the counter because they were more interested in Qiao Yi Fei.
That didn’t last long however since she immediately chased them off with her cold glare.
After sitting down at the counter, Lin Fan tapped the table and he released his law bubble around them before asking, “What is it?”
Qiao Yi Fei was a bit surprised to see Lin Fan being this direct, but she didn’t mind it. She just said, “There’s something new that’s come up.”
Lin Fan didn’t say anything in response to this and waited for her to explain.
After a pause, Qiao Yi Fei said, “After coming back from the Ancient Era Ruins, the ones that went in received the benefits and started to break through. Now that they’ve broken through, they can no longer be considered just part of the younger generation, so a transition is happening. To rank the new generation, the twelve great factions have decided to host a tournament for the new generation.”
Lin Fan nodded in response to this since he didn’t find anything strange with this.
Seeing that Lin Fan wasn’t saying anything, Qiao Yi Fei continued, “The Hunters Organization wants you to be a representative in that tournament.”
Lin Fan gave another nod in response, but this time he finally answered. He spread his hands and said with a helpless sigh, “I would, but I can’t.”
Qiao Yi Fei was surprised when she heard this, but she quickly asked, “Why not?”
Lin Fan looked right into her eyes and said, “Because I’ve also broken through.”
Qiao Yi Fei revealed a look of shock this time.
After she came back to her senses, she focused her mind and released her spiritual sense to check Lin Fan’s cultivation, but she found that she couldn’t see through him at all. The only thing that she could feel was that he was in the Fragmented Soul Realm.
It seemed like he had a powerful technique for hiding his cultivation, but not only that, he was strong enough to hide his cultivation from her.
But that shocked her even more.𝑜𝑽𝓛𝒩xt.𝗰𝚘𝑚
The last time she had seen him, he was only in the Low Embryo Soul Realm, but just in two weeks, he had already broken through to the Child Soul Realm just like her.
It had been hard enough for her to reach the Child Soul Realm, but Lin Fan skipped all the minor realms of the Embryo Soul Realm to reach the Child Soul Realm like it was nothing.
People called her a genius for her cultivation speed, but Lin Fan was a monster when compared to her.
But since he had already broken through, she knew that there was nothing she could do.
After a long pause to think, she gave a sigh and said, “Then what do we do?”
Lin Fan could have just ignored this since this was a matter of the Hunters Organization and was unrelated to him, but he did owe Qiao Yi Fei’s grandfather quite a bit. With all the help that old man Qiao had given him, it didn’t seem right for him to ignore this.
Not to mention, that he would need the Hunters Organization help in the future.
So Lin Fan raised his hand to point at someone and said, “Isn’t it fine just to send him?”
Qiao Yi Fei was confused as she looked in the direction that Lin Fan was pointing in. When she saw the person that he was pointing at, she immediately narrowed her eyes and said, “Him?”
Lin Fan just gave a nod in response to this as he said, “Yes.”
Qiao Yi Fei couldn’t help knitting her brows as she asked again, “Him?”
Lin Fan revealed a faint smile and said once again, “Yes.”
The person that Lin Fan had been pointing at was Mo Ze Chen who was currently arguing with one of the customers that had gotten too close to Lulu.
Seeing the dark look on Qiao Yi Fei’s face, it wasn’t hard to guess what she was thinking when it came to Mo Ze Chen.
While Mo Ze Chen had broken through to the High Embryo Soul Realm after coming back from the Ancient Era Ruins, he was still weaker compared to the geniuses of the other twelve great factions that would be entering the tournament. Most of the other geniuses were already in the Peak Embryo Soul Realm, only a single step from breaking through to the Child Soul Realm. The only reason they didn’t break through was because they were still building up their foundation.
The ones that weren’t in the Peak Embryo Soul Realm and were only in the High Embryo Soul Realm were those that had a special power which allowed them to match those in the Peak Embryo Soul Realm.
As for Mo Ze Chen, he was someone with none of that.
Qiao Yi Fei had seen him fighting in the Ancient Era Ruins and knew that Mo Ze Chen was someone who was lacking in terms of fighting experience, so he was actually weaker than most experts at the same level.
So it was hard for her to imagine him performing well in this tournament.
Lin Fan just casually said, “I have my trump card for him.”
