Chapter 92 - 92: Back Home
When Lin Fan appeared outside again, he found that half the people had already left.
It was a good thing he had Angela put up the same stealth technique they had used during the first trial.
When they appeared, no one noticed them and while everyone was distracted by the Inheritance Realm's closing and subsequent disappearance, the two of them returned to where Mu Bo Hai's group was.
Lin Fan was relieved to see Zi Ling, Boss Gao, and Wang Da Dong waiting with Mu Bo Hai's group.
He hadn't seen Zi Ling in the third trial, so he knew that she was safe since she couldn't make it to the seventh floor of the tower. As for Boss Gao and Wang Da Dong, he had been afraid that they might have run into one of the stronger candidates or was even killed by the Platinum Realm beast, but it seemed like they were smart enough to give up.
While everyone was distracted by the Inheritance Realm's disappearance, Lin Fan quickly moved over to Mu Bo Hai and tapped him on the shoulder.
Mu Bo Hai turned around in surprise, but he saw no one there, which scared him. It was only then that Lin Fan had Angela release the stealth technique on his hand, allowing him to signal to Mu Bo Hai, while he also whispered, "Let's go."
Mu Bo Hai was surprised to see that there was a stealth technique that could even fool him, but he knew for sure that it was Angela. He could still feel his eye ache from the beating he took…
Mu Bo Hai and the principal quickly brought the group to the side and it was only then that Angela released her stealth technique.
When they were away, Lin Fan finally had time to look around and he realized that other than Zi Ling, himself, and Angela, the other three who had come with them were all gone.
Mu Bo Hai saw his expression and said with a sigh, "Don't bother looking, they're all dead."
At this, Lin Fan revealed a look of surprise.
With another sigh, Mu Bo Hai continued, "This Inheritance Realm can be considered one of the more bloody realms, it really has cost our Blue Star Planet to pay quite a price. Although not all of them were geniuses, at least half of the people who died were the hope of their families. Normally Inheritance Realms have death rates of no more than 20%, but this one had a death rate of close to 60%. It really must have been a hard one."
Then the principal continued, "Judging by how you're acting and what we heard from the others, you should be the one who received the inheritance."
Lin Fan knew that there was no point in hiding it since he had given such a dazzling performance, so he said, "Yes, it was me. However, I have no use for it, so I'm looking for someone to give it to."
It was only Boss Gao and Wang Da Dong who were shocked by this. As for Zi Ling, naturally she had to act shocked as well, but she knew that Lin Fan had no use for this inheritance just based on how Angela followed him.
Mu Bo Hai suggested, "How about you give it to me and I'll submit it to the Union Government for you? They'll keep it a secret and will find someone suitable for it. As well, you'll also receive merit points that you can exchange for items with the Union Government."
Lin Fan thought about it and agreed in the end.
He would still be on this lower world for some time and the Union Government was the strongest force here. It was a good idea to stay on their good side because his family was still here, so he might need their help if anything happened.
Of course, he didn't forget to offer the inheritance to Boss Gao, Zi Ling, and Wang Da Dong first.
Zi Ling just shook her head and said that it didn't suit her.
Wang Da Dong took a look at the inheritance and seeing that it was a spear inheritance as he expected, he also declined. He was more used to using his pan.
As for Boss Gao, he had been interested in using the spear in the first place, so he was indeed interested in this inheritance.
Boss Gao hesitantly asked, "Is it really alright for me to take this?"
Lin Fan nodded and said, "It's fine, unless you're unwilling to take it because you don't take me as your brother."
Boss Gao quickly said, "How could that be?" But he still hesitantly turned to Mu Bo Hai.
Mu Bo Hai naturally knew what he was thinking, "It's fine, you're a talented young man and the Union Government wouldn't mind it if you received this as well. Besides, Owner Lin is the one who owns it in the first place, he has the right to give it to whoever he wants."
Only then did Boss Gao take it without any hesitation.
Since everything was settled, the only thing left for them to do was head back to Snow Wind City.
Zi Ling would be coming with them since her ride home was still waiting in Snow Wind City.
So they left the place where the Inheritance Realm was, but if they had paid attention, they would have noticed that the Feng Family was also gone.
The Feng Family had also heard who had received the inheritance and all the stories about that person's might. Naturally they were able to put the clues together to realize that this person was Lin Fan.
Lin Fan had broken through to the Platinum Realm and he was able to combine three laws together, this wasn't a good sign for their family.
Unless they took drastic measures, they might be wiped out by Lin Fan soon.
Pride and shame no longer mattered, all that mattered was their family being able to survive!
…
When they arrived back in Snow Wind City, everyone scattered to head back to their own homes.
Before leaving, Zi Ling told Lin Fan, "Young master, please be sure to reconnect to your family, it is important for your future."
Lin Fan was confused by this, but before she could leave, he asked, "Wait, which family are you from? Let's meet again some day."
But Zi Ling shook her head and said, "It would be too embarrassing to show the young master my family, but we'll surely meet again one day."
At this, she turned to leave without even looking back once.
Mu Bo Hai followed her off and when they were far away enough, he asked, "Lord Envoy, did you finish your mission?"
Zi Ling didn't stop, but she did say, "Yes, I've accomplished my mission and the results are even better than I expected. You will receive a great reward this time."
Mu Bo Hai revealed a look of joy as he said, "It's an honour to help the Lord Envoy."
Zi Ling fell into thought for a bit before saying, "There's something else I need you to do for me as well."
Mu Bo Hai quickly said with a look of wanting to please, "Lord Envoy, if there's anything you need, please tell me."
Zi Ling said, "Keep an eye on that Lin Fan for me. He is a very important person and if anything happens to him, both your and my head won't be enough to compensate for it. I repeat once again, make sure absolutely nothing happens to him."
Mu Bo Hai's eyes opened wide when he heard this. He had a look of disbelief as he said, "Is this related to his master?"
A trace of confusion flashed in Zi Ling's eyes, but it quickly disappeared as she said, "I don't know who his master is, but Lin Fan himself is an important person in the upper realm. I can't even fathom the wrath that would fall down on this lower realm if even a single hair on his head was touched."
Mu Bo Hai's eyes opened even wider, but he knew that it wasn't his place to question her, so he said, "Yes, Lord Envoy. We will ensure that nothing happens to Lin Fan."
…
Lin Fan and Angela headed back to the pet shop.
When they came in, Momonga was surprised to see them, so he asked, "Weren't you supposed to be away for seven days?"
Lin Fan explained, "It can take up to seven days for an Inheritance Realm, but the timing for them varies. This one only took three days."
Momonga then asked, "Then are you opening the store today?"
Lin Fan thought about it before saying, "No, we said that we would be away for seven days, so let's close it for seven days. I need some time to organize the things I gained from the Inheritance Realm."
Momonga nodded and knit his brows for a second before suddenly saying, "Oh, that's right, there was a call from your family early. I didn't get it in time, but the message they left sounded quite urgent."
