Lin Fan gave a simple nod in response to this, but all that did was make Rokuko panic even more.
She was a fearful and naive dungeon core in the first place, that was how she had been when Lin Fan had first met her and that was how she was now since that was her personality.
The only reason why she was able to act the way that she was currently acting was because of the sense of safety that Lin Fan gave her.
But once she realized that there were people after her, she fell back to her old ways.
Rokuko immediately jumped in front of the crystal ball and started carefully looking at the two cloaked figures walking through the dungeon. As she watched over them, she couldn’t help saying, “What do we do? What do we do? What if they have some kind of special ability that will allow them to find me? Or what if they come from some special dungeon core destroying group? How will I be able to survive then?”
Lin Fan couldn’t help shaking his head with a smile on his face.
Then while Rokuko was still panicking in front of the crystal ball, he walked over and gently tapped her head with his fist.
When he did this, Rokuko woke up from her panic and turned to look at Lin Fan in a daze.
Lin Fan just said with a gentle smile, “Do you really think that I would let them do that?”
Rokuko’s expression relaxed a bit when she heard this, but then she had the same panicked look as before as she said, “But what if they suddenly bring others with them? What if there’s some kind of strange power that they have that will allow them to discover me? What if…”
Lin Fan suddenly tapped her on the forehead with a finger and pushed her back down before saying, “Before they came here, I already made sure that they didn’t have any bad intentions. Plus, I’ve made sure that they think that they’re in my debt, so they won’t deliberately cause any trouble. As for them calling more people over, they would have done that already if they wanted to, why would they have waited this long? So I’m saying that you need to calm down.”
Rokuko did relax a bit, but there was still an unwilling look on her face.
So Lin Fan gave a sigh and said, “Do you really not trust me? Do you think that I would let them do anything to you?”
Rokuko immediately shook her head.
She might have been afraid of Lin Fan in the past, but she was no longer afraid of him.
After all that they had been through and the fact that he was her dungeon master, she trusted him with her life.
Though in reality…she didn’t have a choice since he was her dungeon master.
But in her mind, he was the person that she would never doubt.
So she calmed down after being assured by Lin Fan like this.
Then Rokuko asked, “What do we do?”
Lin Fan patted her on the head to calm her down before saying, “We just have to watch over them for now and see what they are up to. Can I leave that to you?”
Rokuko gave a pat on her chest before saying with a strong nod, “I’ll make sure to keep my eyes on them. You don’t have to worry about a thing.”
Lin Fan patted her on the head before saying, “You don’t need to do everything yourself. Don’t neglect your sleep. You can ask for help from Yue Lan if you ever need it, understood?”
Rokuko gave a small nod, but there was a happy smile on her face when she heard this.
As Lin Fan left the room, he couldn’t help taking one last look back at the crystal ball that had the two cloaked figures on it.
He just hoped that he wasn’t making a mistake with this decision.
…
A few days passed and nothing happened.
Rokuko had been watching the two elves the entire time and according to her, all they did was explore the dungeon.
With the way that they reacted to the things in the dungeon, it almost seemed like they were having fun enjoying exploring the dungeon rather than doing what they came here to do.
Rokuko had even said that if they had some kind of narration, it would have been a very interesting show to watch.
When Lin Fan heard this, he couldn’t stop himself from revealing a strange look.
After all, he couldn’t help thinking to himself that this might have been possible in his past life on Earth. It might have even been a real reality show back on Earth that he didn’t know about.
If there was any place that would do something like a show about cute girls exploring dangerous places, it would be Japan. It would most likely be some kind of Japanese game show…
But he quickly shook those thoughts out of his head and focused on the current situation.
Since the two of them weren’t doing anything, then there was no need for him to take action.
As long as they didn’t do anything, Lin Fan wouldn’t do anything to them.
So he just gave Rokuko a pat on her head before heading out.
But when he came out, Yue Lan and the others immediately came to find him.
Lin Fan was surprised to find all of them looking for him like this, but there wasn’t even time to say anything before he was taken away by them.
Lin Fan was brought to the meeting room and sat down in the chair while everyone surrounded him.
Judging by the look on their faces, it seemed that he was in trouble and it seemed like it was quite serious…so without any hesitation, he immediately went to lower his head as he said, “I’m sor…”
Before he could finish, Yue Lan said, “You didn’t do anything this time.”
Lin Fan couldn’t help looking up with a confused look when he heard this.
If he didn’t do anything wrong, why were they all acting like this?
Could it be that something had happened?
So Lin Fan asked, “What’s wrong?”
The girls hesitated a bit to speak, but it was Mu Bao Bao who finally said, “My younger brother is looking for you.”
“Younger brother?” Lin Fan was confused for a second before remembering who her younger brother was.
When he did, he said, “Didn’t we agree that I wouldn’t meet with the fourth prince anymore? Is there really a problem?”
Mu Bao Bao gave a sigh and said, “He insisted this time and it seems like he has the emperor’s token this time. It should be a message from my royal father instead of my younger brother wanting to meet you.”
The moment that Lin Fan heard this, he couldn’t help knitting his brows.
He knew that if this was the case, it would mean that they would be caught up in whatever plan the Emperor Mu had for them.
They had been able to enjoy some peace since Emperor Mu had left them alone, but now…Emperor Mu was sending them instructions on what to do.
While they didn’t know what kind of plans Emperor Mu had, they were certain that it would be dangerous.
So it would be best if they didn’t get involved in them…
But if they didn’t, they knew that eventually the princes would find out the truth and force their way into their town. At that time, Emperor Mu wouldn’t be able to do anything to help them since they would be completely suppressed by all of the princes working together.
So it could be said that this would be their best chance..
But no matter how one looked at it, it was sure to be something dangerous which made them hesitate over accepting this task.
Lin Fan was silent for a bit before saying, “We still need to meet with him and at least see what the instructions from Emperor Mu are.”
Mu Bao Bao revealed a down look when she heard this while no one said a thing.
After a while, she finally said, “Can we just pretend that we didn’t see anything and live our life in peace like this?”
Lin Fan patted her on the head, but he still said, “Even if we don’t want to get involved, we’re already involved in this matter. If we remain passive like this, all that will happen is that we will suffer. So we have no choice.”
Mu Bao Bao gave a sigh when she heard this.
She didn’t refute it since she knew that he was right, but she really didn’t want to do this.
Anything involving her biological father…she wanted to reject..
But in the end, they had no choice but to accept this, so Mu Bao Bao and Yue Lan went with Lin Fan to meet with the fourth prince.
When they sat down, the fourth prince immediately came forward with a happy smile on his face as he said, “Brother in law, it really has been a long time since you came to see me. I was wondering if…”
Before he could finish his words, the iron grips of Mu Bao Bao and Yue Lan had already grabbed his head and forced him back.
Lin Fan just reached his hand out and waited for the fourth prince to hand something over.
The fourth prince was confused at first, but then he pulled out a piece of paper for Lin Fan.
When Lin Fan opened it and read what was written…he couldn’t help thinking to himself…
“What a strange order!”
