Lin Fan thought that he would have so ti to train up those inner sect and outer sect disciples that he had recruited for his faction.
He thought that no one would co looking for him during this ti.
It was just that this didn’t happen.
When he ca out to do one of his trading sessions, he found that there was a ssenger that had been waiting for him.
This wasn’t just any ssenger, this was a ssenger that had been sent by the Poison King.
So even though Lin Fan had been confused why he had been summoned all of a sudden like this, he still followed the ssenger to see what was happening since it was his master that was calling for him.
When he arrived, he found that it wasn’t just the Poison King that was there.
He found that the Fire Fist King and the Iron Fist King were also there waiting for him.
It made sense that the Fire Fist King was here since he was also his master, but it didn’t really make sense for the Iron Fist King to be waiting for him.
Once he sat down, the Poison King said, "I have a mission here for you."
Lin Fan was caught off guard hearing this, but there was a part of him that had already guessed that this was the case. If the Poison King didn’t call for him to take care of a mission, then the only other reason that he would have called for him was because he had sothing for him.
But he said that it was a mission, so Lin Fan couldn’t help wondering what kind of mission it was that the Poison King was personally calling for him.
At the sa ti, this had to be so kind of special mission if even the Fire Fist King and the Iron Fist King were here while he was debriefing him.
So in the end, Lin Fan just said with a nod, "What mission is it?"
The Poison King didn’t answer as he took out a few pieces of paper that he slid over to Lin Fan.
Lin Fan also didn’t say anything as he took what was offered to him.
Though after reading it, there was a strange look that appeared on his face.
He couldn’t help looking at the Poison King, but he could see that the Poison King wasn’t about to tell him anything. When he turned to look at the Fire Fist King and the Iron Fist King, it really didn’t seem like either of them were going to say anything either.
It seed like all three of them couldn’t be bothered to give him any instructions.
But at the sa ti, it didn’t seem like they were planning to let him reject this mission that they gave him, which was why Lin Fan was even more confused.
After all, from what he could see, this mission wasn’t that special.
This mission was nothing more than a normal mission to gather so resources, but it seed like they were insisting on sending him.
The more that he looked at this, the more it felt like this was so kind of punishnt that he was receiving. But that didn’t make sense either since there wasn’t anything that he had done that he should be punished for.
So he really didn’t seem to understand what was happening here.
In the end, Lin Fan had no choice but to accept this mission that had been assigned to him.
As he was leaving, the Iron Fist King added, "Take my disciple along with you."
Lin Fan couldn’t help looking at him with a confused look when he heard this, but the Iron Fist King didn’t even look in his direction. Once Lin Fan had started to leave, the three of them had brought out wine as if they were preparing to drink.
This wine was naturally wine that Lin Fan had given to the Poison King.
The Iron Fist King was another one of their drinking buddies and it seed like he was quite the drunkard with how hard he was going. Even though they were rivals, it was strange watching the Fire Fist King and the Iron Fist King drinking together like this.
In the end, Lin Fan went back to the secret space with a confused look on his face.
When Han Ba and Ye Qing Huan saw him, the two of them were naturally curious about what he was confused about.
Lin Fan didn’t have any reason to hide it from them since he didn’t think that it was anything special. At the sa ti, Han Ba was also involved since the Iron Fist King had told Lin Fan to take him along.
But in the end, it didn’t seem like Han Ba had an idea of what this mission was either.
"Are we being punished?" He even ca to the sa conclusion as Lin Fan after reading through the mission.
Lin Fan was about to shake his head, but then he felt this strange aura coming from Ye Qing Huan. The way that she focused on one of the sheets of paper made it seem like there was sothing that she knew about this.
It was as if she knew sothing that they didn’t know at all.
Han Ba also noticed this, so the two of them waited for Ye Qing Huan to say sothing.
But in the end, Ye Qing Huan just returned the piece of paper without saying a single thing.
Lin Fan’s lips couldn’t help twitching when he saw this, but he still asked, "What is it? What do you know about this?"
Ye Qing Huan looked at him as if she was thinking about whether to tell him or not. Eventually, she said, "Well, I do have so news about this and it is news pertaining to this. I just never thought that the elders would move so quickly. I thought that I would have to do sothing to get you this mission myself."
Both Lin Fan and Han Ba looked confused when they heard this.
Ye Qing Huan looked like she was thinking about sothing and wouldn’t actually say anything else about this, so Lin Fan asked, "What do you an? Why would you want to get this mission?"
Ye Qing Huan didn’t reply right away as she just looked at Lin Fan as if she was wondering if she should say sothing to him.
In the end, she said, "Well, it’s because there was sothing interesting discovered near this place. It hasn’t been made public yet, but I guess it’ll reach you eventually so I might as well tell you."
Lin Fan couldn’t help feeling a trace of bitterness when he heard this since Ye Qing Huan was acting the sa way as she did when they first t.
It was clear that she was doing this on purpose since she enjoyed keeping things from him like this.
Still she said, "There were traces of pure elental energy that was discovered in this place."
Lin Fan imdiately understood what she ant by this.
Others wouldn’t have really cared about this, but it really ant sothing else for Lin Fan.
"So that’s why they insisted on giving this mission." Lin Fan muttered to himself after hearing this.
Ye Qing Huan didn’t say anything, but the look on her face already said everything that she wanted to say.
It was only Han Ba who looked confused since he didn’t know anything about Lin Fan’s special ability. If he knew, he certainly wouldn’t have looked as confused as he did now.
After a while, Ye Qing Huan suddenly gave a cough that brought Lin Fan back from his thoughts since there was sothing else that she wanted to add.
"Since the Heavenly Demon Sect was able to discover this, there’s no doubt that the other sects will be able to discover this as well. Though they aren’t as interested in pure elental energy as you, that doesn’t an that they aren’t interested at all."
Lin Fan slightly knitted his brows after hearing this.
Though Ye Qing Huan didn’t say it directly, Lin Fan understood what she was implying with this.
Since the Heavenly Demon Sect was going to send people, it was only natural that the other four righteous sects of the Five Great Sects would as well.
"Do you already know who will be sent?"
This was when Ye Qing Huan gave a genuine shrug.
Even if her information network was good, it wasn’t as if it was good enough that she would be able to monitor the actions of the righteous sects whenever she wanted.
So it was too early for her to know sothing like this.
Though there was sothing that she did want to add, "To make sure that it doesn’t seem suspicious to the other sects, they are also sending so of the other core disciples. Though they’ll be moving separately from you since they will be sent on other missions. It’ll be the sa with the righteous sects, so you’ll have to keep an eye out for them."
Lin Fan didn’t say anything when he heard this as a look of deep thought appeared on his face.
Then he suddenly said, "Then can you tell which core disciples and which missions they’ll be receiving?"
This ti, Ye Qing Huan nodded with a smile on her face.
Lin Fan understood what she ant by this right away.
"If you want, use them as bait."
That was basically what Ye Qing Huan was telling him.
