With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods

It was clear that they were trying to appease him and Lin Fan was fine with this since he knew that this would mean that it would be safer for Yue Lan here.

Rather, he was rather happy that the Merchants Guild had done this since he was still worried that something like this would happen in the future.

As for the rest of the week, there was nothing special that happened.

When the time period that Tian Tian gave him was up, there was a special messenger that was sent to his residence that requested him to come to the Mercenary Guild the next day.

Lin Fan was surprised to see how formal they were about this, but he also knew that this meant that it must be a very serious matter.

But that also made him slightly worried.

The more serious that they were treating this, the harder that this would be…

He had wanted something possibly simple to help him deal with the experts sent by the Qian Family\'s eldest young master, but now it seemed like it would be harder to help the Mercenary Guild.

Still, Lin Fan went to the Mercenary Guild the next morning.

When he arrived, he was shown to a room on the second floor where Tian Tian and Tian Xue were waiting for them.

This room was a different room from the one they had been in before, instead this was a room that was filled with a large table that made it seem like a conference room. The strange thing was that there were only Tian Tian and Tian Xue waiting in this room.

This all seemed excessive…

After Lin Fan sat down, neither of them spoke first and instead just stared at Lin Fan which made him feel uncomfortable. But it wasn\'t as if Lin Fan could say anything since he didn\'t know what was happening in the first place.

In the end, neither of the girls said a thing as Tian Tian just slid something across the table to Lin Fan.

Lin Fan picked this piece of paper up and looked over it. As soon as he did, he couldn\'t help knitting his brows in a surprised manner.

That was because he actually knew what this piece of paper was referring to.

It was a report on the scouting mission that he had done when he first came to the Mercenary Guild.

This report had a clear description of what he had found, but beyond that, there were also reports from other people sent by the Mercenary Guild on what they had found after they had checked out the area.

However, their account was different from what Lin Fan had found, though they did find traces of the same aura on the piece of rock that Lin Fan found, the inside of the cave was different from what Lin Fan had described.

Instead of a simple passage, they had found a corridor that was completely made of bricks that had led to a simple room. Then in that simple room, there were several other corridors that led far deeper into whatever this structure was.

As Lin Fan read this, he couldn\'t help being surprised.

As far as he could remember, there should have only been a single passage that led to the altar room. So why was the account from the people the Mercenary Guild sent so different?

After he had finished reading it, Lin Fan turned back to the two girls and asked, "What do you want me to do with this?"

Putting on a strong stance, that was the only thing that he could do.

If they wanted to blame him, he could only stick to his story or else it would be worse for him.

But to his surprise, the response that Tian Tian gave him was different from what he expected.

Tian Tian pointed at the file and said, "This is proof that there\'s a new undiscovered ruins in this place and since you\'re the only one who has gotten anything out of it, it means that you have some destiny with this place. We want you to go lead our group in and see what you can find."

Lin Fan\'s jaw dropped after he finished processing what Tian Tian had just said to her.

He couldn\'t help looking over at Tian Xue and seeing that she didn\'t say a thing, it seemed like this was a real offer.

But he couldn\'t help thinking that this all seemed like it was too convenient and also it was too strange. The cave had clearly changed since the last time that he had been there, but what was the cause for this change?

Why did the Hunters Organization care so much about this cave?

Lin Fan closed his mouth and fell into deep thought, but in the end, he still said, "What is the exact content of this request?"

Tian Tian revealed a smile and said, "Like I said, we\'re just looking for your help in guiding this expedition."

Lin Fan narrowed his eyes to look at her as he said, "It\'s definitely not that simple."

Tian Tian\'s smile became a bit awkward, but she still maintained her cool as she said, "Then what if I said that it was because you found that rock, that\'s the reason that we want you to do it? Would that work for you?"

Lin Fan narrowed his eyes even more, but then his expression relaxed before asking, "How many people are you sending?"

Tian Tian calmly replied, "In another two days, we will be sending a group of five into the ruins and we\'re hoping that you can lead that group."

Lin Fan then asked, "Is it fine if we come back without finding any results? If it gets dangerous, it\'s fine for us to retreat, right?"

Tian Tian replied with a nod, "Naturally. We don\'t expect you to risk your lives for this, so if there\'s any danger, you are free to return at any time. Of course, we hope that you will bring information on the danger so we can adjust your group and hopefully you can lead that group back in."

Lin Fan was even more and more confused when he heard this.

These terms just seemed too generous to be true…

Unless there was something that the Mercenary Guild really wanted from this place.

But even then, why would they send him?

All these thoughts passed through Lin Fan\'s mind, but in the end, he still said, "Alright, I\'ll come with you in two days."

Tian Tian and Tian Xue both revealed smiles when they heard this.

Then Tian Tian stood up and said while reaching out her hand, "Young master Lin, then we look forward to working with you."

However, Lin Fan didn\'t take that hand. Instead, he looked at her and asked, "The Qian Family?"

Tian Tian didn\'t respond this time, instead it was Tian Xue who said, "We\'ve already sent someone to talk to the Blizzard Sect. They should come back with good news on the day that you\'re scheduled to head out."

Lin Fan knitted his brows before saying, "I won\'t be going if this doesn\'t work out, I hope you can understand that."

Tian Xue nodded and said, "It\'s just part of the deal that we\'ve made, so no one would blame you if you didn\'t go. But you should have some faith in us."

Lin Fan just looked at her for a bit before taking Tian Tian\'s hand and shaking it.

There wasn\'t much else that needed to be discussed, Tian Tian told Lin Fan that they would be sending someone to pick him up on the day of the expedition before Lin Fan left.

Once Lin Fan was gone, the atmosphere inside the room suddenly changed.

It had become much more serious compared to before.

Both Tian Tian and Tian Xue were silent for a long time before Tian Xue broke that silence by saying, "Are you sure that he\'ll be able to help us?"

Tian Tian nodded and said, "He\'s the one that found that rock, so it\'s clear that there\'s something that he isn\'t telling us."

Tian Xue knitted her brows when she heard this and asked, "That\'s why I\'m doubtful. Are you sure that we can trust him?"

Tian Tian nodded without hesitation as she said, "Would you report everything if you were to find something like that there? The fact that he brought that rock back is already enough to prove that he\'s willing to cooperate. I think that should be enough for us."

Tian Xue knitted her brows even more, but she didn\'t say anything else.

Both of them had been able to tell that Lin Fan had become much stronger, but only Tian Xue knew exactly how strong he was.

The Seventh Qi Gathering Realm, he had gone from the Fourth Qi Gathering Realm to the Seventh Qi Gathering Realm in just a single month.

That kind of cultivation speed was not something that just anyone could have. It was clear that there was some kind of power backing Lin Fan and that power wasn\'t weak to let him cultivate this quickly.

So the fact that he was willing to share these ruins by bringing back that rock should be more than enough for them to trust him…

After all, these were ruins that had traces of immortal energy!
