Xiao Ming kept pulling at the edges of her skirt, making it very clear that she wasn’t used to wearing this kind of clothing.
But Gu Xiang and Mu Bao Bao couldn’t help gushing over her.
That couldn’t be blamed on them because she really did look like a doll after cleaning up.
Her hair was sleek and brown and her eyes were big and wide, she really seemed like a porcelain doll in this dress.
Xiao Ming saw the way that Lin Fan looked at her and couldn’t help asking with a bit of fear in her voice, “You just want me for my body, don’t you?”
Lin Fan had three black lines appear on his head.
He gave a cough before saying, “I just wanted to clean you up because I still need your help. I still want you to be my guide for this city, so you have to at least look presentable, or else you would attract more attention.”
Xiao Ming looked at herself and she felt that what he said did make sense. However, she still couldn’t help asking, “Don’t you have any other clothes that I can wear?”
Lin Fan looked at her with one last look of praise before looking at Gu Xiang.
Gu Xiang pouted her lips, but she gave a sigh in the end and said, “We do have some other clothing for you.”
It was clear that she wasn’t willing to give her these other clothes, but since Lin Fan asked her for it, she had no other choice.
Before long, Xiao Ming had changed out of the dress and into a simple set of shirt and pants. It gave her a very tomboyish look with her short hair, so even if it was simple, it still made her very cute.
Gu Xiang and Mu Bao Bao still couldn’t help gushing over her.
The way that the two acted, it was almost as if they were taking Xiao Ming as their personal dress up doll.
Lin Fan shook his head when he saw this, but he still nodded with an appreciative look at Xiao Ming.
Still, there were other things that he needed to take care of, so he called Mu Bao Bao’s attention back. Then he handed her the report of someone else coming to Fair White City to see if she recognized this person.
“Junior sister Xi!”
Mu Bao Bao shouted as soon as she read the description of the person.
She also knitted her brows as she read that this junior sister Xi had disappeared along with the junior brother Gu from before.
They had tried following them after seeing them appear in the city, but somehow they had lost all traces of these two. It was as if they had disappeared into thin air with the way that they lost track of them.
Lin Fan could see the worried look in her eyes, so he patted her on the shoulder and said, “It’s fine, we’ll find them.”
Mu Bao Bao still had a worried look in her eyes, but the worries dissipated a bit when she heard Lin Fan’s words. She looked at him with a bit of love in her eyes as she nodded in response to this.
But then she said something that caught him off guard, “I want to meet senior brother Han.”
Lin Fan deeply knitted his brows as he could understand what she was trying to do.
The junior brother and junior sister had disappeared after meeting with Han Fu Rong, so it was clear that he had something to do with it.
Since the ones that disappeared were both from the Love Sect, it was also obvious that the people targeted were those from the Love Sect.
So Mu Bao Bao would make the perfect bait to draw out whatever this senior brother Han was planning.
But Lin Fan didn’t feel assured in letting her go…
Mu Bao Bao could see the worry in his eyes and there was a trace of warmth that filled her heart. However, she still said with a firm and confident look, “I’m in the Golden Core Realm, I’m much stronger than senior brother Han who is in the Foundation Realm. You don’t need to worry about anything.”
But still, Lin Fan couldn’t help worrying.
That was because according to Mu Bao Bao, both her junior brother and junior sisters were in the Qi Condensing Realm, the realm above the Foundation Realm. Both of them were much stronger than Han Fu Rong, but somehow he had dealt with them as well.
Since Han Fu Rong had already decided to do something to the survivors of the Love Sect, it was clear that he was prepared to deal with cultivators in a higher realm.
That should mean that he also had a way to deal with Golden Core Realm Cultivators…
He should have a way to deal with Mu Bao Bao…
This would be dangerous no matter how he looked at it, but he also knew that it was impossible to stop her.
With his understanding of Mu Bao Bao from their time together, he knew that she was someone who wouldn’t back down once she decided on something. It was impossible to use words to convince her once she set her mind to something.
As for using force to stop her, that was even more impossible.
Lin Fan might be stronger now that he had broken through the Foundation Realm, but there were still two major realms between him and Mu Bao Bao.
It would be like smashing an egg against a rock.
He didn’t have any intentions to become scrambled eggs today, so he decided to allow this meeting.
Of course, he would make sure that this meeting was happening in a place that he controlled, so he could react if anything went wrong. He would never allow anything to happen to Mu Bao Bao if he could allow it.
Mu Bao Bao was worried about her junior brother and her junior sister, but she still agreed to Lin Fan’s concession plan since she knew that he was worried about her. She didn’t want to worry him too much after everything that he had done for her.
So the plan was to find a place first before letting Mu Bao Bao contact her senior brother Han.
It didn’t take long for them to find a place to set up this meeting.
In the timespan that the branch store had been set up in the city, it had already gained quite a bit of influence. Not only was there the branch store in the city, there were also other businesses that Yue Lan had dipped into.
She had also opened a restaurant, a weapon store, and a pharmacy, the three most basic businesses that could be opened.
With the amount of money and resources that came from the dungeon, they were able to easily run these stores at a cheap cost and each store earned quite a bit of profit.
The specialties of these stores were actually made from the resources that came from the dungeon.
Yue Lan had entered a contract with the Mercenary Guild to buy these resources at a higher price and then used them as specialties of each store.
After all, even if the Mercenary Guild had a large network, that didn’t mean that they had their own stores to sell these things. Normally they would have to rely on the Merchants Guild for this, but working with Yue Lan also suited their needs.
Not to mention, Yue Lan paid more than the Merchants Guild.
So it was a win win deal for both sides.
The restaurant would be where they would have the meeting.
But before Lin Fan allowed Mu Bao Bao to make contact with Han Fu Rong, he made sure that every part of the restaurant was secure. He had Greeny post puppets in almost every corner and he made sure that he would be able to deal with anything that Han Fu Rong would have up his sleeve.
Only then did he finally let Mu Bao Bao contact Han Fu Rong.
To their surprise, Han Fu Rong agreed to meet with Mu Bao Bao the very next day.
So the next day, Mu Bao Bao headed off to the restaurant with Xiao Ming who had been guiding them around the city the past few days.
Xiao Ming would have loved to be freed from these powerful cultivators, but since they paid good money, she had no other choice but to keep guiding them. Just a single day of working for them earned her more money than she would make from a month of pickpocketing.
Not to mention, they kept buying her delicious food that she wouldn’t have a chance to eat herself normally.
So in a sense they had tamed her with food.
After Mu Bao Bao arrived at the restaurant, she headed up to a private room that Lin Fan had prepared and waited for Han Fu Rong to arrive.
Of course, even though it was a private room, Lin Fan had set up plenty of surveillance in this room, so he would be able to react at any time. If Han Fu Rong dared to do anything, Lin Fan’s eyes wouldn’t miss it.
Ten minutes later, Han Fu Rong arrived at the restaurant and after showing them Mu Bao Bao’s invitation, he was led to the room by the restaurant’s waiters.
Once he arrived, he was surprised by how luxurious this room was.
Mu Bao Bao had prepared the most luxurious room in the entire restaurant for this meeting after all.
This was a room that was filled with many different luxurious decorations and the finest pieces of furniture, it clearly wasn’t a cheap place.
He was curious how she was able to afford it, but thinking about who she had sent to send him the message, it didn’t take him long to understand.
He had been surprised when he had received notice of this meeting because the ones that had contacted him were the people from the Royal Style store.
The Royal Style store was a very famous store among the nobles and rich people, so naturally it was also famous among the commoners who liked talking about these things even though they were out of their reach.
Han Fu Rong was surprised that Mu Bao Bao had a connection to the Royal Style store, but he was also happy to see this.
After all, after he took care of her, didn’t that mean that he had a chance to stick his hand in this cookie jar?
The Royal Style store’s business was booming and if he were able to get even a small cut of it, it would be enough for him to live the rest of his life without worry with.
