Lin Fan took her hand and patted the back as he comforted her, “Master, that’s more than enough for a small sect like ours. After all, isn’t it just the two of us?”
The words that Lin Fan had said could be considered somewhat sad and disheartening, that wasn’t the case when Mu Bao Bao heard it. She felt a strange warm feeling filling her heart when she heard Lin Fan say this.
Looking at him with sparkling eyes, she gave a nod and said, “Un.”
Then Lin Fan couldn’t help asking, “Then what was the cultivation level of the past sect master?”
Mu Bao Bao tilted her head to think before saying, “The past sect master, my master was a Soul Formation Realm Cultivator, but he was only in the Low Soul Formation Realm.” Then after a pause, she added, “Of course, that’s considered weak among the sect masters of the big sects. Most of those sect masters are all in the Rebirth Realm and it’s said that the sect masters of the Five Great Sects are all in the Transcendence Realm.”
Rebirth Realm, Transcendence Realm, this really made Lin Fan realize that even though he had some power as a High Qi Gathering Realm Cultivator, he was still nothing more than an ant when it came to the entire cultivation realm. He had completely let his power go to his head and had gained some false confidence.
This had made itself clear when he had tried to attack the fox spirit beast earlier.
Even though the Gale Sparrow had already warned him against it, he had thought that he was strong enough to deal with any problems that came his way. That was the false confidence that came with becoming a bit stronger…
It seemed that he had to adjust his mentality again and regain that cautious mentality that he once had…
Seeing his knit brows and his face lost in thought, Mu Bao Bao said, “You don’t have to worry about that. My master was able to fight against the cloaked figures that had attacked our sect, so they should have only been in the Soul Formation Realm. There’s no way that the major sects or the Five Great Sects would move to take out our sect, it was most likely just the collusion of a few minor sects wanting to get some glory for themselves with the Cultivators Alliance.”
Though when Mu Bao Bao said this, there was even a bit of doubt like she didn’t believe it herself.
Lin Fan looked at her with a smile and said, “I’m fine, I don’t regret taking you as my master or joining the Love Sect.”
Mu Bao Bao just smiled back at him and said with a nod, “Un.”
The two of them quickly made their way back to the village and showed them the corpse of the fox spirit beast.
When the villagers saw that it was indeed the fox that had been attacking them, they immediately broke out in cheers and declared that they would be hosting a party. The village chief also invited Lin Fan and Mu Bao Bao to join them, but Lin Fan rejected this offer since he wanted to bring Mu Bao Bao back to the dungeon town as soon as possible to help her settle.
So with a few souvenirs that the village chief insisted on giving them, they headed back to the dungeon town.
When Lin Fan summoned out Hi, Mu Bao Bao was immediately surprised by the appearance of Hi.
With her cultivation, naturally her spiritual senses were well developed and had been covering the entire area. If Hi had been around this area before, then she would have noticed him immediately.
So why didn’t she notice him until Lin Fan brought him out?
Mu Bao Bao couldn’t help asking, “Where did this horse come from?”
Lin Fan wasn’t caught off guard by this question because he had already prepared an answer for this.
So far, he had been able to secretly summon Hi whenever he had to summon Hi out in front of someone and then he told them that Hi had been in the area before. Most people didn’t call him out on this bluff because they weren’t able to sense Hi, but then again, most of them didn’t have that developed spiritual senses.
But of course, Lin Fan figured that he would eventually come in contact with more powerful cultivators, ones that had much stronger spiritual senses that would be able to see through this bluff. Such as Mu Bao Bao standing in front of him.
In that case, he would need to prepare another excuse to give them…
Luckily, there was a special occupation in this world that gave him this cover.
“I’m a beast tamer. I learned some small beast tamer techniques and this is my tamed beast, that’s why I was able to summon him.” Lin Fan said in a calm voice.
Mu Bao Bao took a look at Hi before giving a nod to show that she believed him. At the same time, she couldn’t help looking at Lin Fan with a look of praise.
Beast tamers were indeed an occupation that existed in this cultivation world, but it was one of the minor schools that most cultivators weren’t willing to dabble in. That was because it took a large amount of resources to raise pet beasts into useful companions.
So this lack of interest in this school of cultivation meant that beast taming techniques weren’t as developed as other techniques.
However, one technique that all beasts tamers had was the ability to summon their beasts. As well as sending beasts back to their original location.
It was impossible for beast tamers to go around with their beasts since it was very inconvenient in that manner, so most beast tamers just left their beasts in a special place and only summoned them when they needed these beasts.
So it wasn’t strange that Lin Fan was able to summon this horse beast out of nowhere.
As for the look of praise that Mu Bao Bao gave Lin Fan, it was because she could sense the cultivation that Hi had.
Fifth Qi Gathering Realm.
This was definitely a powerful beast by beast tamer standards.
Most beast taming techniques were underdeveloped and it took a large amount of spiritual energy to pacify a beast’s aggressive nature, so most beast tamers could only tame beasts that were a full major realm under their own realm. You were considered a powerful beast tamer if you could tame a beast in the same major realm.
However, not to mention at the same cultivation level, even beasts that were several minor levels under the beast tamer would be considered almost impossible to tame.
But for an Eighth Qi Gathering Realm Cultivator like Lin Fan to tame this Fifth Qi Gathering Realm horse beast, he was already considered very talented.
It was unknown how Mu Bao Bao would react if Lin Fan were to summon Hayase who was also in the Eighth Qi Gathering Realm like him…
After being silent for a bit, Mu Bao Bao didn’t forget to add, “It’s good to have other techniques, but you shouldn’t forget to properly cultivate. It’s good to have more cards, but that doesn’t mean that you should split your attention too much.”
She felt that she should add something like this as his master after all.
Lin Fan nodded and said with a smile, “Of course, master.”
Mu Bao Bao gave a nod as well before saying, “Good, it’s good that you know.”
Even though Mu Bao Bao tried to act like a master, along the way, Lin Fan was more the one taking care of her than her being the one taking care of Lin Fan.
He held her in his embrace as they rode on the back of Hi.
As they ran along the road, she couldn’t help excitedly trying to sit up or even stand on Hi’s back. Lin Fan had to do his best to make sure that she didn’t fall off.
It was almost as if this was her first time riding on the back of a horse.
They also stopped many times along the way when Mu Bao Bao spotted some cute little animals on the side of the road.
Whenever they did, she stopped Hi and ran off to chase the animals, playing with them for a bit before getting bored of them and getting back on Hi.
If Lin Fan didn’t know any better, it was almost as if she had never been outside of her sect before. It was almost as if she was a pampered princess that had never lifted a finger in her life.
What he didn’t know was that this was indeed the case.
Mu Bao Bao had been an orphan that had been picked up by the sect master of the Love Sect and had been adopted by him as a daughter. However, as a cute little girl, she had obtained the pampering of all the elders of the Love Sect and she had been treated as their little darling.
She had been kept safe and sound from all the dangers of this world, they even went as far as keeping her inside of the sect as much as possible to keep her safe.
So that was why she actually didn’t know much about the outside world.
This was her first time experiencing most of these things, which was why she was so excited.
Lin Fan couldn’t help shaking his head with a smile as he felt the desire to protect her as well.
