With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods

With He Chun Hua, Lin Fan headed off to the center of the city.

He Chun Hua was confused on where Lin Fan was heading at first, but then she slowly realized where he was heading.

That was because there was only one place that he could be heading with the direction that he was walking in. It was a place that everyone in this city knew about since it was a place that was considered a very important place.

It was the city lord’s manor.

For someone like her, He Chun Hua had never gone to the city lord manor. She had never gone to the area around the city lord manor since that was considered an important place with plenty of guards.

Someone like her wasn’t allowed to go to a place like that.

So as she followed Lin Fan, there was a worried look that appeared on her face. It looked like she wanted to say something, but it also seemed like she didn’t know how to say the words that she wanted to get out of her mouth.

Only it wasn’t as if the situation would be ignored just because she remained silent.

As He Chun Hua had worried, the moment that they came to the area around the city lord manor, there were guards that suddenly came forward to stop them.

The city lord manor was a place that only those with a reason to go to would be able to enter and it was clear to the guards that this wasn’t the case with this group. Especially with the state that He Chun Hua was in.

She looked like something that was dragged off the street, definitely not someone that would have business here. Sёarᴄh the NôvelFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“Stop and turn back. This is not a place for people like you.” The guards said while raising their weapons.

However, it seemed like Lin Fan didn’t hear them as he continued moving forward.

Seeing this, the guards stepped up so that they were in front of Lin Fan and went to block him from getting further in. But it didn’t seem like Lin Fan seemed to care about the way that they were trying to stop him.

It seemed like Lin Fan was going to walk right past him.

The guards knew that for someone like this, words wouldn’t work.

That was why they raised their weapons as if they were about to use them.

But the moment that they did, there was a chill that ran down their spines. There was a feeling that filled them that told them that this was the wrong thing to do, as if they would seriously regret taking action against Lin Fan.

The guards had an idea of why they felt this way, but that didn’t mean that they pulled back.

Rather, they just stood their ground even when facing Lin Fan’s aura head on like this.

Even though they received a ton of pressure from facing Lin Fan’s aura, they still stood there facing it without backing down. Even though their instincts were telling them that Lin Fan was not someone that they could beat, that he was someone that they should run away from.

They still seemed like they were prepared to go all out to stop him.

That just went to show what kind of loyalty these guards had towards their superior, a kind of loyalty that couldn’t be simply bought. This was the kind of loyalty that would only be given to someone that they considered worthy of their respect.

That was one point to the city lord.

Even though they looked like they wanted to fight back, there really wasn’t anything that they could do in the face of this pressure. It even seemed like they would fall over with just a single touch with the way that they were standing.

But at the very least, it seemed like they were ready to die for this.

After a moment of silence, Lin Fan suddenly stopped releasing his aura which allowed the guards to catch their breath.

When they came back to their senses, the leader of the guards stepped forward again as if he was about to stop Lin Fan. However, that step was the only one that he took before he froze with a shocked look on his face.

The other guards seemed confused about what was happening at first until they also saw what was in Lin Fan’s hand.

The moment that they saw this, they froze just like their leader did.

They just stared at the token that Lin Fan was holding in a daze, as if they didn’t know how to react to it. But judging by the look on their faces, it was clear that they recognized what this token was.

Lin Fan didn’t say anything at first, but then with a smile slowly appearing on his face, he said, “Can I go in now?”

The guards looked at each other in a daze before the leader gave a few orders.

Lin Fan just ignored those orders that he gave while waiting for the leader to show the way.

The leader of the guards bowed before saying, “Sir envoy, please follow me.”

With a nod, Lin Fan followed behind the leader of the guards.

In this situation, all of them completely forgot about He Chun Hua who was still there. She had been standing there in a daze as if she couldn’t understand what was happening, but this couldn’t be blamed on her.

The way that things had changed was just too fast that no one would have been able to keep up with them.

But once the leader of the guards came back to his senses, he looked at He Chun Hua before looking at Lin Fan with a hesitant look.

“She’s with me.” Lin Fan said in a calm voice.

At that, the leader of the guards just completely ignored He Chun Hua as if he didn’t see her. He just acted like she was a part of Lin Fan’s group and only focused on Lin Fan.

He Chun Hua couldn’t help feeling shocked at this.

Just what was this person’s status that he was able to make the guards of the city lord manor act this way?

There were people that stared at He Chun Hua as she entered the city lord manor, but they didn’t do anything to her since they saw that she was with the leader of the guards.

If even he wasn’t doing anything to her, then there was nothing that they could do to her.

But being the center of attention like this was hard for He Chun Hua, so she couldn’t help lowering her head in a shy manner. She was keeping her head down and trying to make it seem like she didn’t exist at all.

Lin Fan ignored all of that as he calmly walked forward.

That didn’t mean that he wasn’t doing something.

He was looking around the area at all the people that were walking around the city lord manor. At the same time, he was using his sharp ears to listen in on some of the conversation that they were having.

As he watched them and listened in on their conversations, there was a feeling of approval that filled him.

That was because…

“We should do something about the slums in the north. The gangs are acting up too much, we need to stop them before they do something harmful.”

“The harvest project is going well. Make sure that all of the households receive what they should get and if there’s extra, give them a bit of a bonus.”

“The most important thing in our city is the people, so we have to do what we can for them.”

It seemed that the people of this city lord manor cared quite a bit about their city and proactively did their jobs. It seemed like they wanted to do all that they could for this city, to make it a better place.

There were many cases where people in positions of power would use it for their own gains, but it seemed like all of the people in the city lord manor were doing all that they could for the people of this city.

That was just how much they cared about this city.

No, it wasn’t just how much they cared about this city, it was also because of their loyalty to the city lord.

Only if someone was worthy of them doing this would they do it. If he wasn’t a qualified person, then they wouldn’t go out of their way to do all of this.

This was another point to the city lord.

The leader of the guards led them to a room at the top of the city lord manor.

This was a luxurious looking place that was looking over the city. It was clear that this was a place that was used to receive distinguished guests.

After showing us over, there were several people that came in and prepared some tea and desserts for us. These were high quality tea leaves and desserts, which showed the hospitality that they had for us.

He Chun Hua gave a gulp when she saw this since she had never seen desserts like this before, but she held herself back in the end since she knew how out of place she was.

She didn’t even sit down as she was afraid of dirtying the sofa, but I made her sit down in the end.

Not long after, there was a person that walked in.

This was the city lord and no one else.
