With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods

When they returned to the room that they were in before, all three of them sat there in silence.

The information that they had received from Lu Ye had given them a new insight into who the enemy was, but there wasn’t much information that they could work with.

Lin Fan couldn’t help feeling regret over killing the other two that had been with her.

Even though it had seemed like she was in charge when those two had appeared, it turned out that those two were the ones that were actually higher ranked. It was only on this mission that they had to listen to her to give the illusion of her being in a higher position.

Otherwise, if it was anywhere else, Lu Ye would be the one listening to those two.

If he hadn’t killed those two, perhaps he would have been able to get more useful information.

But there was no medicine for regret.

So he would have to make the best out of the information that he did have.

He knew that the eighth prince and the twelfth prince were related to the destruction of the Love Sect.

At the same time, he knew that the eighth prince was making a move against the remnants of the Love Sect to find Mu Bao Bao.

In the end, it seemed that everything was related to Mu Bao Bao.

As for what they would do now…that was the real question.

After all, Lin Fan really didn’t have an idea what to do now…

There were just too many things that they had to consider and the influence of the princes was all over the empire’s territory. There wasn’t a single place that they could strike to get what they wanted.

Not to mention that if they were to actually strike at a prince…they would need much more power.

The princes were backed by various powerful factions and that included cultivation sects, so they also had cultivators at their disposal.

These were cultivators that had formed sects, so there wasn’t a single one of them that were weak.

So it wasn’t as if he could have done anything to any of these princes…

There was only a dead end in front of them.

Not to mention that they had already found the source of the rumours that Mu Bao Bao was in this place.

It was a rumour spread by the eighth prince to lure the Love Sect remnants and Mu Bao Bao herself to this place.

No one would have expected that the fourth prince would also be drawn by this and would send people.

So there was no reason for them to stay in this place any longer.

They could go back and report to the fourth prince, but…what was the point when they didn’t know what to do about it?

It wasn’t as if the fourth prince would move on the eighth prince at this time for this. For all he knew, the fourth prince could have been looking for Mu Bao Bao for the same reason.

So the moment that he went back to report, he might even cause the fourth prince to act. The fourth prince would find his own way to find Mu Bao Bao once he found that this lead was a dead end.

In short…everything was a mess.

Lin Fan really didn’t know what their next move was.

Reporting to the fourth prince was a must, so it would be impossible to avoid that.

But once that happened, it would mean even more people searching for Mu Bao Bao which would be even more trouble for them.

The only method that he could think of now was…to seal the Minor World in the dungeon and then having Mu Bao Bao stay there.

That way, no one would be able to find her.

The downside of that is that it would be like she was stuck in prison.

Lin Fan had already seen how that would be for her since they had been hiding in this place for the past few days.

When Lin Fan used those mercenaries to lure Lu Ye out, even going as far as using Greeny to control some of them, they had been hiding in this place watching over everything.

He had seen how Mu Bao Bao had reacted and knew that she wouldn’t last that long in here.

Mu Bao Bao could see the way that he was looking at her, so she said, “It’s fine. I’ll hide in here until everything blows over.”

Senior Sister Bing took Mu Bao Bao’s hand and looked at her with a worried look.

Mu Bao Bao just looked back at her with a faint smile before saying, “You’ve sacrificed yourself for the Love Sect all these years, this is the least I can do for all of you.”

Lin Fan deeply knitted his brows when he heard this.

For the first time since arriving in this world, he felt completely helpless. Even when he was in very dangerous situations, he had always had the system by his side to save him.

But now…there wasn’t anything that the system could do in this situation.

With this helplessness came a sense of frustration.

After all, if he couldn’t even protect his woman…how could he call himself a man?

The three of them sat there in silence after this.

It wasn’t as if they didn’t want to say anything, it was that there was nothing for them to say in this situation.

After a long silence, Lin Fan finally stood up and turned to walk out.

Seeing this, the two girls quickly stood up and went after him.

Mu Bao Bao grabbed his arm and asked, “Where are you going?”

Lin Fan was silent for a bit before saying, “I’m going to interrogate her a bit more. I know that she must be hiding something.”

This was just a lie to himself since he knew that she had already told him everything. Her confession had come with the power of the system, so it was impossible for her to hide anything even if she wanted to.

But it was still better than doing nothing.

Both Mu Bao Bao and Senior Sister Bing could see this as well.

They didn’t fully understand what power LIn Fan had used to make Lu Ye talk in the first place, but they could see through his expression with how close they were to him.

It took them a single glance to know that he was lying to himself…but they also knew that this was just a way for him to comfort himself.

So even if they knew, they didn’t burst the bubble.

Mu Bao Bao just said, “We’ll come with you and see if we can help.”

Senior Sister Bing gave a nod in agreement to this.

Lin Adam turned to look at them with a bit of gratitude in his eyes. However, before he could say anything, he suddenly knitted his brows.

He just stood there like this for a bit before looking at his sleeve.

Greeny, who had been wrapped around his arm, came out and gave a nod.

The two girls were confused when they saw this, but they could tell that it was something serious, so they both remained silent.

After a long silence, Lin Fan said, “We’re heading back to the city.”

Both of them were surprised to hear this, but they didn’t argue and just followed Lin Fan out of the Minor World.

When they came out, they appeared near the valley where they had captured Lu Ye.

Even now, the smell of blood was thick in the air even though two days had passed.

But they ignored this and quickly made their way back to the Flowing Sand City.

When they reached the city, it was already late into the day. Even if they travelled at top speed, this place was just too far from where they had been.

It was a good thing that they had their Mercenary Guild licenses, or else they wouldn’t have been able to enter the city.

After they entered the city, Lin Fan headed in a certain direction.

With how fast he was going, it was clear that he knew exactly where he was going.

It didn’t take long for Lin Fan to reach the center of the city, going towards the business street where the Royal Style store was. But before he reached there, he suddenly turned to the right and headed into the slums.

They had thought that he was going to the Royal Style store for something, but then they were led by him to this small house in the slums.

After arriving here, Lin Fan went to the side of the house and opened up a secret compartment in the house. This secret compartment contained a key which was clearly for the house itself.

Taking this key, Lin Fan opened up this house and went inside.

Without hesitation, he walked up to the living room and opened up another secret compartment.

This time, what he pulled out was a piece of paper.

The two girls couldn’t help being curious about this and peeked over his shoulder to look at it.

They were surprised to find that it was a letter from Yue Lan for Lin Fan.

But that wasn’t the biggest surprise that they found.

The biggest surprise was the content of the letter.

“The fourth prince is currently in Dungeon City and is waiting for you. He said that he won’t leave until you come back.”

The moment that Lin Fan saw this, he couldn’t help deeply knitting his brows.
