With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods

After Lin Fan released the illusion spell, he was about to walk forward towards Bi Qing.

However, before he could take a step forward, Mu Bao Bao’s hand suddenly came forward to grab his arm.

Lin Fan turned back to see the worried look on her face, but he just patted her hand and gave her a look like he was saying that everything would be alright. Then he turned back to Bi Qing and started walking towards her.

Mu Bao Bao didn’t let go of his arm, but she didn’t pull him back like she did before. Instead, she just held his arm as she came forward with him.

The expression on her face made it clear that she was prepared to go all out if Bi Qing’s group did anything.

However, the worried look in her eyes also showed that she was worried about fighting them.

After all, when the cloaked figure had made a move…she had felt the power behind it.

As a Golden Core Realm Cultivator, she was able to recognize the power of the Golden Core Realm.

She could tell that this cloaked figure was a Golden Core Realm Cultivator just like her.

If one of these cloaked figures was in the Golden Core Realm, it was very likely the rest were also in the Golden Core Realm…

So in a fight, she most likely wouldn’t be able to win. If they really were to fight, she most likely wouldn’t even be able to escape from Bi Qing’s group.

After coming up in front of Bi Qing, Lin Fan said, “What did you want to talk about?”

The tone that he took wasn’t a weak one.

He knew that in this situation, using the weak tone and putting himself beneath her would actually hurt him. He knew that unless he could present some kind of threat, she would treat him as either a slave or a target.

So he had to at least show some backbone.

Bi Qing didn’t say anything at first as she just looked at him, though it wasn’t as if she could see much with the cloaks that were covering them.

Instead of looking at him, it was almost like she was looking at the concept of him with the way that she looked at him. It was as if she was looking at something that normal people couldn’t see.

After a period of silence, Bi Qing finally said, “Work with us.”

After she said this, it wasn’t just Lin Fan and Mu Bao Bao who were surprised by this. It was also the cloaked figures that were around them that were caught off guard by her sudden words.

They all turned to look at Bi Qing and even though their faces were covered, it was clear by the way that they were all turning to look at her that they were shocked by this.

Lin Fan narrowed his eyes to look at Bi Qing before asking, “Why?”

After he asked this, the cloaked figures around Bi Qing immediately turned to look at him.

Based on the way that they were standing, it was clear that…they were angry at Lin Fan.

After all, the question that he asked was basically spitting on the goodwill of the young miss. The young miss had shown him grace by offering him the chance to follow them, but he was actually doubting her.

This was not something that they could allow.

There were a few of these cloaked figures that even took a step forward towards Lin Fan. It was almost as if they were prepared to cut him down where he was standing for his offence towards Bi Qing.

But Bi Qing raised her hand in the end to stop them.

She looked at Lin Fan with a bemused look before saying, “You’re worthy of this honour.”

She didn’t say anything else after that, she just said it as if she was patronizing him.

Of course, Lin Fan didn’t make the mistake of acting too firm in this situation since…he knew that this was indeed the case. She was showing him mercy and that was clear since he had also felt the power released by the cloaked figure just now.

These people were much stronger than them and could wipe them out without any effort.

Even Mu Bao Bao who was a Golden Core Realm Cultivator wouldn’t be able to do anything.

So after a moment of silence, Lin Fan gave a slight nod and said, “Let’s work together then.”

Bi Qing revealed a satisfied look after hearing this.

Then she suddenly waved her hand at the cloaked figures around her.

They all turned in her direction and based on the way that they were standing, they were clearly doubting the order that they had been given.

However, seeing that Bi Qing didn’t say a thing, they had no choice but to follow that order.

So all of the cloaked figures suddenly jumped out and flew off in different directions. They disappeared into the forest around them, but Lin Fan could still feel the auras coming from around him, showing that they were still there.

They would be able to stop him instantly if he were to have any intentions towards Bi Qing.

Once they were “alone”, Bi Qing looked at Lin Fan and asked, “How did you know about the trap?”

When Lin Fan heard this, he immediately knitted his brows.

He immediately knew what she was talking about and he started considering whether he should tell her the truth…It was something that was considered his secret, but it didn’t seem like Bi Qing would take no for an answer.

But as he thought about it, he thought of something that he could ask to avoid this…

“How did you see it as well?” Lin Fan calmly asked her back.

Bi Qing looked at him with narrowed eyes after she heard this.

After a moment of silence, she said, “Fine, you can keep your secret. But I hope that you will use that power to help us when we need you to.”

Lin Fan nodded in agreement after hearing this.

As for what they were referring to, it was the reason why the spirit beasts had only attacked those groups and ignored the two of them.

It was all because of the treasures that they had picked up from the hall.

These treasures had something special about them that drew the spirit beasts in, causing them to attack whoever owned them.

It was a kind of powder that was attached to people when they touched the treasures. This powder was not visible with the naked eye, but for Lin Fan, he was able to see it when it was attached to people.

That was because he had the Appraisal Eyes.

When the powder was stuck to people, he was able to see a status ailment when he used the Appraisal Eyes to check them.

When Bi Qing had grabbed the weapon off the wall, he had also seen that she had received the same status ailment. However, he had seen the status ailment disappear when she used the flames to burn her hands.

As soon as he saw this, he knew that she was also able to see the powder on the treasures.

Then at the same time, he knew that she was able to get rid of the powder.

He had seen others using flames, but even then it had never gotten rid of the powder.

That meant that the flames that she used were special flames that could burn away the powder.

He didn’t know what else she had, but just based on this, he knew that she had quite a few special abilities.

After confirming this, Bi Qing gave another signal to the cloaked figures.

In no time at all, all of them immediately came back to her side and blocked her off from Lin Fan.

Lin Fan took a step back when he saw this to show a sign of support, but they took that…as a sign of a challenge.

So in the end, Lin Fan could just stand there bitterly with a smile on his face that no one could see.

But Mu Bao Bao could see what Lin Fan was feeling, so she patted him on the shoulder to comfort him.

Lin Fan nodded at her to show he was fine before turning to Bi Qing.

Bi Qing had been standing there in silence for a bit, but then she suddenly waved her hand and said, “Let’s go.”

Without waiting for anyone to respond, Bi Qing started moving forward away from the lake. She went into the forest like she knew exactly where she was going even though there were no clues at all.

The cloaked figures just followed her without a word, but for Lin Fan and Mu Bao Bao, they couldn’t help stalling for a few seconds before following her.

As they moved through the forest, there wasn’t a single sound that was made.

They all moved in silence, following Bi Qing as if this was the only way that it could be.

There were times that they ran into spirit beasts, but those spirit beasts ignored them as per usual. These spirit beasts were only targeting those that had been marked by the powder and anyone else was completely ignored by them.

As they went along, Lin Fan started to realize where they were going.

He could see that the herbs were getting more and more dense around him and that the spiritual energy in the air was getting stronger.

Bi Qing was heading towards one of the areas of highly concentrated spiritual energy.
