With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods

Since they had found a trail, that meant that it was time for them to find some clues.

This was one of the biggest cities in the Southern Province, so there was a Royal Style Store that was established here.

Lin Fan had planned on not using this connection just in case people tracked him down for it, but he decided that it was worth the risk. Especially with how many people were in this city, no one would pay attention to something small like this.

But of course, he wouldn’t just walk in and expose himself as the owner.

Instead, he went to the store and walked around as a normal customer.

When he went to pay for the items that he picked out, he slipped something special to the staff member who checked them out and then left as if nothing had happened.

After he returned to his inn, he found that there was already someone waiting in the room for him.

As for who this person was…it was his subordinate.

This person was the manager of the Royal Style Store in this city, Yi Lei and of course, she was also a beautiful woman.

When she saw Lin Fan and Mu Bao Bao come in, she didn’t hesitate to bow to them.

That was because there was a special token that was already in Lin Fan’s hand when he came in. This was the token that every single member of the Royal Style Business had learned to recognize as the token of the owner, the one who was even above the head manager.

At the same time, Yi Lei couldn’t help revealing a trace of excitement in her eyes.

After all, she had also undertaken the special training from Yue Lan.

She knew what she was expected to do for this person.

It was just a pity that she couldn’t see just how handsome he was…

She already knew that he was handsome since they had already been shown pictures, but pictures couldn’t show everything since they were just paintings. She was really curious how handsome the man that she would give her innocence to was.

That was also what she had thought when she had been summoned to this inn.

She thought that she was here to…

But she was disappointed in the end when she received Lin Fan’s orders.

“Investigate the tournament?” Yi Lei repeated with knitted brows.

It wasn’t that she hadn’t heard what Lin Fan said, but rather she was caught off guard by what he was asking her to do.

She was someone who had been assigned to this city, so she had been here for a while already. Naturally there was no chance that she didn’t know about the tournament that was about to be held in this city.

But she also knew how dangerous this tournament was and who was involved in this tournament, so she had wanted to avoid it like it was the plague.

Now that Lin Fan actually wanted her to investigate the tournament, she was naturally concerned about all of this.

Lin Fan could see the concern in her eyes, but he still said with a nod, “I want to know who spread the rumours about the prize of the tournament. Also make sure that you get all the information you can about the Love Sect.”

Yi Lei was even more confused when she heard this, but she had been well trained by Yue Lan.

So in the end, she just said with a nod, “I’ll see what I can do.”

Lin Fan gave a satisfied nod when he heard this.

He couldn’t help feeling appreciative of everything that Yue Lan had done.

If it wasn’t for her, he definitely would have gone through much more trouble trying to get the information that he wanted.

Not only that, he wouldn’t have anywhere near the amount of funds that he had now and the dungeon town would have never reached the level that it was at.

It could be said that she was the solid foundation under everything that he had built.

ραпdα—nᴏνa| сom As this thought passed through his mind, Lin Fan couldn’t help feeling that he hadn’t done enough for her…So he decided that he would make it up to her once this was all over.

Since Yi Lei was going to take care of the information searching, Lin Fan and Mu Bao Bao decided to lay low in the inn.

They could have gone and found some information on their own, but sometimes, too many cooks in the kitchen would only make a mess. Since Yi Lei was already going to take care of this matter, they shouldn’t make it harder for her by trying to help unnecessarily.

Night fell when she came back to the room and in her hands were some papers for them.

Lin Fan took these papers and looked through them before revealing a surprised look. He looked back at Yi Lei and asked, “Is this real?”

Yi Lei just gave a slow and serious nod in response to this.

Lin Fan looked back down at the papers and knitted his brows.𝒩𝑶𝒱𝓵xt.𝓬𝗈𝗆

These papers contained the results of Yi Lei’s investigations and the results that they showed were…shocking.

It turned out that the rumour of the prize being the Love Sect’s inheritance was just one of many rumours of the prize. There were many different rumours as to what the prize would be, but there was one thing that was consistent among them.

The Love Sect’s hidden treasure, the Love Sect’s hidden cultivation technique, the Love Sect’s hidden token…Every single rumour was related to the Love Sect in the end.

It was almost as if whoever had created these rumours was using the Love Sect to bait people in.

But to do this, they either had some kind of hand in the demise of the Love Sect, or…they were somehow related to the Love Sect.

Could it be that the organizer of the host was actually someone who had escaped the destruction of the Love Sect.

If that was the case, the fact that they were drawing in all of these sects and powers meant something completely different. It was very likely that they were drawing them in to…put some plan in action.

Whether it was for revenge or for something else, it would mean a major event.

Lin Fan couldn’t help looking at Mu Bao Bao after realizing this.

Mu Bao Bao had been looking over the pieces of paper with Lin Fan and it didn’t take long for her to reach the same conclusion. When she saw Lin Fan looking at her, she just shook her head to show that she didn’t know anything.

She didn’t think that anyone who had survived the destruction of the Love Sect would act this way. After all, out of the people that would act this way, she could only think of a few people who had already died in the destruction of the Love Sect. She was sure they were dead since she had seen them being killed by the invaders.

So there shouldn’t be anyone that would be able to come up with this kind of plan.

Lin Fan turned back to the pieces of paper in his hand and kept reading.

Other than the rumours about the prize, there was also information about the host of the tournament.

According to the information that Yi Lei found, it was the City Lord Manor working with the Merchants Guild who were hosting this tournament.

Once he saw this, Lin Fan couldn’t help looking at Mu Bao Bao again.

Mu Bao Bao once again shook her head as she understood what he was asking.

As far as she knew, the City Lord of this Floating Seed City shouldn’t have any contact with the Love Sect. So there was no reason that he would be assisting whoever was providing the prize for the tournament.

Not to mention, there was also the Merchants Guild that was involved in this matter.

The Merchants Guild was just a place where merchants gathered so that they would have more negotiating power. It wasn’t a real organization like the Mercenary Guild which was made to provide a link between mercenaries and people who hired them.

The Merchants Guild was just a tool for merchants to apply pressure on people when trading with them.

So normally, the Merchants Guild would never act out like this.

For the Merchants Guild to openly come out and provide support for a tournament like this…it would mean that there was something that moved enough of the merchants that they would act this way.

As they thought about this, they couldn’t help being more and more confused as to what the backstory of this tournament was. 

It seemed like there were many different motives that crossed in this tournament and not a single one of them seemed to overlap with each other.

So how was this tournament being held?

Seeing the look of deep thought on his face, Yi Lei couldn’t help revealing a look of admiration.

She had thought that this tournament was just some event held by a large sect or something that had attracted the attention of other sects, but now she knew that it was different.

She could also see that someone was clearly manipulating the circumstances of this tournament after seeing the connection that it had to the Love Sect.

She knew that there must be some plot behind this, so she was filled with admiration towards Lin Fan for seeing through all of this.

After thinking for a while, Lin Fan finally said, “Keep investigating this tournament, but make sure that you aren’t caught.”

Yi Lei gave a nod before saying, “Yes, young master.”

Then she left with a determined look in her eyes.

She knew that this information alone wasn’t enough, so she was determined to find the information that Lin Fan wanted.

Maybe then…she would receive the reward she was waiting for.
