With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods

Based on the symbol on their clothes, Lin Fan knew why they had been waiting for him.

They were people from the Royal Style Company, they were people that were under Yue Lan. They were the ones that had been dispatched to check out this village on Yue Lan\'s behalf and they were the ones that sent those artifacts back.

But when Lin Fan saw them, he was surprised to find…that they all had tired looks on their faces.

It was currently the middle of the day and looking at the indents in the dirt, it was clear that they had been standing there for a long time.

However, when they saw Lin Fan, they immediately came forward with excited looks and greeted him respectfully.

Lin Fan couldn\'t help revealing an awkward look when he saw them acting this way.

After they greeted him, he said, "There\'s no need for you to do all of this."

The leader of the group said, "Young master, it is only natural that we would be waiting to guide you through this village."

This group was completely made up of beautiful women and with how tired they looked, anyone that didn\'t know the situation would think…that Lin Fan was abusing them.

Even he had this thought pass through his mind.

He couldn\'t help asking, "How king have you been waiting?"

Before the leader of the group responded, the youngest member said, "We\'ve been waiting since we received notice that the young master was coming."

Lin Fan couldn\'t help feeling guilty when he heard this.

He had thought that this was a carefree trip for him, so he had taken his time traveling and had spent the time taking Igneel. He never thought that this would cause these girls to wait for him like this.

The leader of the group immediately smacked the youngest member on the back of her head.

As the youngest member, she really didn\'t have a filter…

The youngest realized her mistake when she saw the look on Lin Fan\'s face and immediately covered her mouth.

Lin Fan couldn\'t help asking, "You weren\'t waiting without any sleep, right?"

Normally he wouldn\'t ask something that one could solve with common sense, but common sense didn\'t apply with these girls.

As expected…after he asked this question, the girls couldn\'t help looking away.

Since they weren\'t willing to tell him anything, he could only choose someone to tell him.

The one that he chose was the youngest who didn\'t have a filter. He knew that she would give him the most honest answer.

The youngest knew that she shouldn\'t say anything, she could even see the leader glaring at her. However, it was the young master that was asking this and she couldn\'t just not say anything…

So in the end, she said in a slow and hesitant voice, "We…took turns sleeping."

Lin Fan gave a sigh and shook his head again before looking at them in exasperation.

If others knew about this, they would surely accuse him of abusing his employees…

He didn\'t know what Yue Lan had taught these girls, but he would need to talk to her once he got back.

Since he couldn\'t do anything about their attitude, Lin Fan had these girls lead him into the village.

These girls had already spent quite a bit of time here, so they had already become close to the villagers. Not to mention that they were all beautiful young girls, so they had already become the idols of the village.

When the villagers saw the way that they acted around Lin Fan, they had many different reactions.

The men naturally were envious.

​ They could see how the girls treated Lin Fan and they could see how handsome Lin Adam was, so it was hard for them not to be envious of him.

So there were a lot of men who glared at Lin Fan.

As for the women, they were happy to see Lin Fan.

The ones that were married were naturally unhappy to see their husbands having fun staring at the girls, so they were happy to see Lin Fan appear to take them down a peg.

As for the ones that weren\'t, this was a handsome man that had just arrived who was much better than the men that were in the village, so of course they were happy to see Lin Fan.

The girls led Lin Fan through the village, almost as if he was being shown off before they arrived at the village chief\'s house.

The village chief also looked at Lin Fan with a stink eye at first, but then that changed when the girls introduced him as their boss. As soon as he learned that Lin Fan was their boss, his attitude immediately changed.

He greeted Lin Fan with a polite voice and a deep bow.

That was because Lin Fan\'s status as their boss was very important.

When they came to investigate this village, they had come with another status. They had come as traveling merchants to buy and sell goods.

So they had brought quite a few resources to the village and allowed the village to earn quite a bit from buying their goods. At the same time, they had also bought many different artifacts from the village.

The artifacts were considered waste in the village.

Even if they bore the sacred mark, they were items that were just cluttering their homes, so they were more than happy to sell them. Not to mention that the girls had offered quite a high price for it, so it made them even happier.

The village chief recognized that if Lin Fan was here, then there must be something else that they wanted from the village.

This was a chance for their village to make a big deal and earn a large amount of money, so how could the village chief not treat Lin Fan well?

He would even offer Lin Fan his granddaughter if he had to.

After all, Lin Fan was a rich and handsome man, so he was sure that he would give his granddaughter a good life.

It was just too bad that his granddaughter was only five years old…

Well, there was still a bit of hope in the village chief\'s mind that Lin Fan liked them young…But it was too bad that hope would be crushed since Lin Fan indeed didn\'t like them like that.

He didn\'t want the interdimensional FBI breaking into his house and taking him away…

Lin Fan didn\'t beat around the bush with the village chief and asked, "Do you have more items that have that symbol on it? If you do, I would be interested in buying them."

The village chief had already expected this, so he said, "We have plenty of items with the sacred mark on them, but you should know that these are items that are unique in this world since only our village has them. If you really are interested in them, we would be willing to part with them, but…"

He left his words hanging, but the meaning behind them were clear.

If you want them, you should show your sincerity.

In this case, sincerity was money.

He was the village chief, so it was his job to get as many benefits as he could for the villagers in his village. It wasn\'t strange at all for him to negotiate like this.

But Lin Fan couldn\'t help revealing a confused look when he heard this.

He wasn\'t confused by why the village chief would do this, he was more confused by the words "sacred mark".

The village chief could see the look on his face and couldn\'t help feeling worried.

Could it be that he wasn\'t here for the items and was here for something else, he was only using the items as a starting point?

Could it be that he had ruined the negotiations by exposing his greed right from the beginning?

The village chief wanted to explain, but before he could, Lin Fan asked, "What do you mean by sacred mark?"

This time, it was the village chief\'s turn to be surprised since this was the last question he expected to be asked. After all, he had thought that Lin Fan had bought those items because he recognized the sacred mark.

This sacred mark was the mark of the Holy Dragon Church and he thought that Lin Fan was buying these items for other members of the Holy Dragon Church, which was why he was willing to pay such a high price.

But if Lin Fan didn\'t even know what the sacred mark was, could it be that there was something else special about these items?

After thinking for a bit, the village chief shook these thoughts out of his mind.

He was nothing more than a mortal and he could easily tell that this boss of those girls was a cultivator. There was just something special about him that made it clear that he was a cultivator.

Since this was a matter that involved cultivators, it was better for him not to get involved.

He and the villagers didn\'t have enough lives to get involved in this matter.

So the village chief gave a simple explanation about the sacred mark and their Holy Dragon Church before bringing Lin Fan to a small room in his house that had an altar.

Lin Fan couldn\'t help raising a brow when he saw this.

As far as he knew, this mark was the mark of the Hidden Dragon Sect and not this "sacred mark" that they mentioned. So what was the deal with this Holy Dragon Church?

Could it be that there was something bigger going on here?

For the first time, Lin Fan couldn\'t help feeling that this village was a bit strange.
