With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods

While Emperor Mu was lost in his thoughts, Mu Bao Bao turned back to look at Lin Fan with a worried look.

Lin Fan knew what she was worried about, but he shook his head to show that it wasn’t worth worrying about.

Then he revealed a smile to show that he had already planned everything.

Mu Bao Bao still had a worried look, but she gave a simple nod in response.

As for what she was worried about, it was naturally accepting these people into the Love Sect.

These were people that were loyal to Emperor Mu and even if he said that they would be loyal to Mu Bao Bao, there was no guaranteeing this. This could all be a trap and this would put the Love Sect in danger…

But Lin Fan had other thoughts.

Namely, he was thinking about his mission.

He had already increased the number of experts in the Love Sect, but there was still one thing that he was missing.

He needed more disciples.

The higher tier cultivators were filled up, but they needed more disciples to fill the lower ranks of the Love Sect. They couldn’t recruit more disciples since they were a sect that was hidden, so they could only make do with the orphans that they took in from the various regions.

But that was a very slow process and Lin Fan wasn’t even close to reaching the goal of the mission.

So he wanted to use the influence of the Mu Empire for this, or rather, he wanted to use the influence of Emperor Mu.

He was certain that the reward for completing the mission wouldn’t be small, so he would deal with the consequences that came from these later when he became stronger with these rewards.

After all, the greatest reliance was one’s own power and he needed to become stronger.

His High Foundation Realm cultivation wasn’t worth anything on this cultivation continent.

While Emperor Mu was still lost in thought, Lin Fan suddenly said, “I want some other disciples as well. You should know that our Love Sect isn’t able to recruit people openly, so we’ve had to do it in secret. For accepting these powerful cultivators in, we want help with our recruitment.”

Emperor Mu was surprised by this sudden request, but he gave a nod in response.

After all, this was a simple matter for someone who ruled the nation like him.

He could easily give a decree to send people to the Love Sect.

But then he was surprised by Lin Fan’s request.

“We want a thousand Foundation Realm Cultivators and ten thousand Qi Gathering Realm Cultivators.”

Even for Emperor Mu, this wasn’t a small number.

He was surprised by how greedy Lin Fan was being…but in the end, he still agreed to it since he knew that this wasn’t a bad thing.

Mu Bao Bao’s foundations were based in the Love Sect and the Love Sect needed to build up its foundation. If he helped the Love Sect build up its foundation like this, then he would be able to help her stand even more firmly when she became the empress.

Unfortunately for him, this wasn’t the end.

Lin Fan then requested, “We also want some resources to help those people cultivate. We know that it’s too much to ask for support forever, so we’ll ask that you provide enough resources for the Love Sect to cultivate these disciples for ten years. After that, we should be able to achieve independence.”

Emperor Mu once again knitted his brows when he heard this since this was by no means a small amount.

This would be enough to build an entire division in the army which would greatly increase the power of the nation…but he still agreed in the end.

That was because he knew that the stronger the Love Sect was, the greater backing Mu Bao Bao would have in the future.

When this was over, Mu Bao Bao couldn’t help revealing a satisfied look.

She had never thought about doing something like this.

This was killing two birds with one stone.

Not only did they get a bunch of resources for the Love Sect, she was able to see her father in pain like this which helped her feel much better.

After the negotiations were over, she looked at Lin Fan with a look of new admiration.

Lin Fan just revealed a bitter smile since he didn’t tell her that this wasn’t for the good of the Love Sect, but rather because of his mission. Though, he did think about the Love Sect when he made these requests.

Seeing that the negotiations were over and that Mu Bao Bao was in a better mood, Emperor Mu took a risk and said, “Bao Bao…”

Mu Bao Bao looked like she was about to snap once again, but before she could, Lin Fan grabbed her and held her down before shaking his head for her to calm down.

She settled in his lap again, but she had a visibly unhappy look on her face.

Emperor Mu then slowly said, “Bao Bao, you will have to come back to the palace eventually to take the throne.”

Seeing the way that she glared at him, he then added, “Of course, I don’t mean right now. It will be in the future when the path has been properly paved for you, but you will have to come back to take the throne. When the time comes…”

He didn’t finish his words, but the meaning behind it was clear.

Mu Bao Bao knitted her brows even more when she heard this, but then she said, “I will take the throne, but it is not because of you. I will take it to protect the people that I care about and nothing more.”

Emperor Mu let out a sigh of relief when he heard this.

This was the thing that he had been worried about the most since if Mu Bao Bao didn’t want to take the throne, there was nothing that he could do to force her to do so. After all, a throne taken unwillingly will cause harm for the people of the empire and he couldn’t allow that to happen.

As long as she was willing to accept this throne, he was willing to pay any price.

After all, there was only ruin for this country if any of the other princes took the throne.

Since that had been settled, Emperor Mu didn’t waste any time in calling in some other people.

With a clap, there was a group of people that suddenly came in.𝒩𝔬𝑽𝗅xt.𝑪𝐎𝗆

After they arrived, they immediately bowed down to Mu Bao Bao who was surprised by this.

Emperor Mu explained, “These are the loyal assistants and tutors that I have gathered for you. They will help you when you become the empress and teach you everything that you need to know to ascend the throne.”

As he said this, Lin Fan couldn’t help raising a brow as he looked over this group.

That was because he had found…all of them were female.

Mu Bao Bao didn’t know how to act at first since these people were given to her by the one she refused to acknowledge as her father…but she then realized that they had done nothing wrong. She couldn’t blame them for the things that her father had done.

So she said with a bow, “I’m looking forward to working with you.”

When these girls heard this, all of them looked up with sparkling eyes.

After all, they had been trained for this, so finally meeting the one that they would be serving was something that they had dreamed about. 

But at the same time, Lin Fan could feel the glares that were coming from these girls.

It was clear that they were unhappy with or didn’t like him for some reason.

However, he wasn’t surprised considering what kind of position they were in.

After meeting them, Emperor Mu suddenly said, “Young man, can you stay for a minute? I want to have a private talk with you.”

Lin Fan wasn’t surprised since he was already expecting this, but Mu Bao Bao didn’t seem like she liked this idea. She reached back and held his hand before turning to look at him, as if telling him not to go.

But Lin Fan just shook his head and patted her head before saying, “It’ll be fine. I’ll just talk a little with him.”

Mu Bao Bao looked like she didn’t agree with this, but since he said this, she agreed to it.

So Mu Bao Bao left with these girls and soon there was only Lin Fan and Emperor Mu left in the room.

As they sat there, there was a silence that filled the room.

But Emperor Mu broke it in the end by saying, “So you’re the boy that my daughter has brought home. I really don’t know how to feel about you.”

Lin Fan just casually revealed a smile and said, “I think it’s a little too late for you to start trying to act like a father, isn’t it?”

Emperor Mu revealed a hurt smile as he said, “You really tell it straight to the point and don’t hold back at all.”

Lin Fan just revealed a faint smile as if he didn’t take offense to this.

After another silence, Emperor Mu suddenly said, “Can you take care of my girl? You should know what kind of things she will be up against and what kind of things she has to do. Can you ensure that you will be able to protect her?”
