Cultivation Pet Shop

When Lin Fan heard this, he revealed a surprised look.

He wasn't surprised by the news itself, but rather the fact that Wang Jian had chosen to tell him this.

This was without a doubt a very important piece of information, one that would require the lives of many people to find. After finding this information, the Myriad Sword Hall wouldn't reveal it that easily since it would be an important chess piece for them.

They would only reveal this to their closest allies since it would be something that would affect both sides, but they would also keep it away from their enemies or neutral parties since it would benefit them to see those parties suffer.

Yet Wang Jian had told him this which meant that Wang Jian at least saw him as a close friend, one that he was willing to disregard the benefits of the Myriad Sword Hall to tell him this.

This was something that warmed Lin Fan's heart.

Lin Fan was someone who treated others depending on how they treated him and when someone was this sincere with him, he had no reason to deny them the sincerity that they deserved.

After a pause, Lin Fan gave a nod and said, "I know."

Wang Jian revealed a surprised look, but then he calmed down and asked, "Then is there a chance that we can work together?"

Lin Fan revealed a smile and said, "Is there any meaning in you working with just me?"

Wang Jian revealed a serious look and said, "You know what I mean."

Lin Fan gave a shrug and said, "I can't represent the entire Hunters Organization, so I can't give you an answer to this."

Wang Jian knitted his brows and looked a bit worried, but Lin Fan then added, "I can however get you a meeting with the people that are in charge. As for what they decide to do, that is up to them."

Wang Jian still had a worried look on his face, but it had relaxed a bit when he heard what Lin Fan said.

While it still didn't guarantee that there would be a cooperation between the two sides, at least he had his foot in the door now instead of being kept outside the door completely.

If the Myriad Sword Hall wasn't able to find a third partner to cooperate with, they wouldn't feel assured in going into the Ancient Era Ruins. As for who their other partner was, it was naturally the Ice Goddess Palace that they were close to.

Before Wang Jian had come, the elders of the Myriad Sword Hall had already talked to the elders of the Ice Goddess Palace and they had agreed to bring the Hunters Organization into their alliance.

Of course, this was all on the premise that the Hunters Organization agreed to this, which was why Wang Jian was here in the first place.

Wang Jian was silent for a bit before he said, "When can we meet the people from the Hunters Organization? The sooner we meet, the better since we'll have more time to come up with a plan for the Ancient Era Ruins."

Lin Fan was about to say something, but then there was a knock that came from the door.

Both Lin Fan and Wang Jian were surprised by this.

Lin Fan was surprised because of all the guests that had come to see him today. After a few days of minding this pet shop alone, he had slowly gotten used to that lifestyle.

Then there was today where everyone seemed to want to see him.

Wang Jian was surprised because he had been releasing his spiritual sense the entire time to make sure that no one was eavesdropping on them, but he hadn't been able to sense this person approaching at all.

What he didn't know was that it wasn't the person who had escaped his spiritual sense, but rather the store had been trapping his spiritual sense in. The walls of the store were imbued with the power of the system, so it trapped the spiritual sense in and gave the sensation that everything was normal, so Wang Jian didn't notice a thing.

After a moment of thought, Lin Fan decided to open the door and see who it was since there was no harm in doing so.

When the door opened, the person that was standing outside was revealed to be Qiao Yi Fei.

Lin Fan had a surprised look the moment he saw her, but he didn't say anything in the end.

Qiao Yi Fei saw this and was a bit annoyed by this treatment, so she said in a snappy voice, "Are you not going to invite me in?"

Lin Fan just said "oh" before moving out of the way for her by heading back into the store.

Qiao Yi Fei had an aggrieved look on her face.

She was still a beauty, when had she ever been treated like this?

It was only when she was with Lin Fan that she was being treated like this…

She was fine with it if it meant that she would be able to see her dear Diabolis, but she hadn't seen him around in the past few days. She was even worried that something might have happened to him, but she couldn't just ask Lin Fan about it because there was no reason for her to ask him about it. She wasn't that close to her Diabolis, so it would seem strange if she were to ask about him.

So in the end, Qiao Yi Fei pushed down her dissatisfaction at how she had been treated and went into the store. The first thing she did was look around to see if she could find her Diabolis, but after not being able to find him, she revealed a disappointed look.

It was only then that she noticed Mo Ze Chen, Lulu, and Wang Jian in the store.

She ignored Mo Ze Chen and Lulu as she focused on Wang Jian.

She knew who he was and the faction that he represented. She also knew that Lin Fan had formed some kind of relationship with him during the Hunters Exam.

She wasn't clear how close they were since there was no information on that in the report, but apparently it was close enough for Wang Jian to be visiting Lin Fan.

She knew that her grandfather and Mao Tao's grandmother both wanted to pull Lin Fan into the Hunters Organization, so she couldn't help feeling a bit disappointed that Lin Fan was openly associating himself with someone from another faction like this. After all, their grandparents had invested quite a lot in Lin Fan and it felt like he wasn't appreciating any of it. At the very least, she had to stand up for her grandfather.

Not to mention that she had even been sent here with something even better for him.

Qiao Yi Fei couldn't help saying, "Owner Lin, it seems like you have company over. Do you want to introduce us?"

Lin Fan looked at Wang Jian and didn't say anything as Wang Jian took the initiative to come forward first.

Wang Jian came forth and gave a slight bow before saying, "How could I not know miss Qiao? You're famous in Harmony City."

Qiao Yi Fei looked at Wang Jian with narrowed eyes before saying, "It should be me who should be saying this. After all, young master Wang is one of the famed Decagram Geniuses."

Wang Jian just revealed a smile and didn't say anything else.

Qiao Yi Fei didn't bother with Wang Jian any longer either since she had already accomplished her goal in forcing this introduction. There was no need for the introduction in reality because both of them were naturally aware of who the other person was.

She only forced this introduction out to include Wang Jian in what would happen next.

Lin Fan could tell that Qiao Yi Fei had something to do here, otherwise she wouldn't be here, so he asked, "Is there something that miss Qiao needs from me?"

Qiao Yi Fei gave a nod before saying, "My grandfather wanted me to bring something over for you."

She flicked her hand and there was a token that appeared in it. This wasn't any ordinary token, this was a token that both of them were very familiar with because this was what they had just been discussing.

It was one of the tokens that represented a spot in exploring the Ancient Era Ruins.

Lin Fan narrowed his eyes when he saw this and then he said, "Please take this back, I thank elder Qiao for his kind intentions, but I have no plans on exploring those ruins."

Qiao Yi Fei couldn't help being taken aback by this.

Wang Jian just shook his head with a bitter smile on his face.

This was an Ancient Era Ruin!

This wasn't something that one could get just with money or power, it was something that depended on your luck and was something that could definitely change your life.

Now Lin Fan was saying that he wasn't interested in going?

Was there something wrong with him?

Qiao Yi Fei took a few seconds to recover before she asked, "I'm sorry, I don't think I heard you clearly. Can you please repeat what you just said?"

Lin Fan looked right at her and calmly said, "I have no plans on exploring those ruins."

Qiao Yi Fei just awkwardly stood there because she didn't know what to say in response to this. She was certain that Lin Fan would accept when she had been sent here, but now this had completely gone against what she thought would happen.

It was at this time that Wang Jian gave a cough from the side.
