Since that day, there wasn’t much to be done.
After all, they had already sewn the seeds of doubt in the minds of the four factions, so there was nothing left to do.
Even though it didn’t seem like there was much happening in this town, there were many things that were happening under the surface.
Lin Fan only learned of this from the reports that Grandma Pan brought, but he was shocked to find just how much Ye Qing Huan had prepared. The information that was here was so detailed that it wouldn’t be a surprise if she even knew what kind of underwear they wore.
That was just how much effort Ye Qing Huan had put in.
But at the same time, this was just how powerful the information network of the Heavenly Demon Sect was.
One could only say as expected of one of the Five Great Sects.
With all these things happening in the background, there was nothing that Lin Fan and Ye Qing Huan really needed to do.
That was why Lin Fan took these few days to adjust to his new power.
Even if he had tested his strength after upgrading the Pet Storage Space, that didn’t mean that he had full control of it. It was hard to adjust to how much strength to use after his physique had increased that much.
It was like a child suddenly gaining the strength of an adult and knowing how to use it.
So it took him a bit of time before he was able to learn how to control his power.
But with this time taken, he had far greater control over his own power now.
Lin Fan found that with his physique increasing like this, it allowed him to control his strength by even the most minute amount. It gave him a much finer control over his own power, making him stronger overall.
As he was training one night, Ye Qing Huan suddenly said, “The fruit is ripening. It’s time.”
Lin Fan didn’t even need to ask to know what she was referring to.
It was the reason that they had come all this way in the first place.
It was the Divine Blood Fruit that they had been waiting to claim this whole time.
That meant that everything was coming to an end.
It was all up to the final clash to see who would take this Divine Blood Fruit.
But it seemed that the situation was much better for Lin Fan than it was in the beginning. After all, none of the four factions trusted each other after all of Ye Qing Huan’s meddling.
Even those that were supposed to be allied didn’t trust each other after Ye Qing Huan’s meddling.
At the same time, these four factions were much weaker than they would have been since Ye Qing Huan had been meddling with their supply gathering.
Just like how she prevented the Moon Flower Sect from obtaining the Moon Gazing Flower, she did many other small things that prevented the other sects from obtaining items that they needed.
So they were running on just the supplies that they received from their sects.
They wouldn’t be able to show even half of their full power like this.
The only reason why they didn’t charge out and search for those that were moving in the shadows was because of how important this mission was to the Five Great Sects. If it wasn’t for the orders that they had received, they would have turned this entire town upside down just looking for Ye Qing Huan.
Though whether they would have been able to catch her or not was a completely different question.
When they arrived at the White Frost Mountain, it was clear that they weren’t the only ones that were here.
Putting aside the four large arrays that covered White Frost Mountain, there were many other groups that were wandering around the edge of the White Frost Mountain. At the same time, it wasn’t hard to guess that there were people wandering around in the forest on the White Frost Mountain.
They were most likely looking for a chance to strike, just like Lin Fan and Ye Qing Huan.
With so many people here, the two of them didn’t really raise any attention at all.
Especially since they had dressed in a lowkey manner that hid their true appearances.
That handsome face of his and the beautiful face of hers was the best way to attract attention, so it was best to keep them sealed during this time.
After arriving, Lin Fan turned to Ye Qing Huan as if he was waiting for her to say something.
But to his surprise, he found that she didn’t say a single thing.
It wasn’t just now that she remained silent, she had been silent the entire time since leaving the inn that they lived in. Other than telling him that the fruit was ripe, Ye Qing Huan hadn’t said a single word.
This was completely different from how she had acted during this past period of time.
She had been the one that was in charge during this time, but now she was like a meek follower.
It didn’t make any sense at all.
It just made Lin Fan think that she was planning something…
But it also didn’t seem like Ye Qing Huan had any plans at all as she just followed behind him.
Finally, Lin Fan couldn’t take it anymore and asked, “What should we do now?”
Ye Qing Huan just said with a faint smile, “You’re free to do whatever you want to do. I’ll just follow you.”
He had already thought that she would say this, but hearing her actually say this was certainly still a surprise.
After a moment of silence, Lin Fan asked, “Then you don’t have any plans at all?”
Ye Qing Huan just calmly shook her head as she said, “The plans have already been used, everything is up to you now. This is a mission for you, so it isn’t appropriate for me to do anything.”
Though she said this, he could hear that there was something in her voice.
It was almost as if…she had some other plans that she was hiding, though it didn’t seem like she was planning on using them now.
Lin Fan was very confused by all of this since he couldn’t tell just what Ye Qing Huan and the Heavenly Demon Sect wanted from him.
It seemed like Ye Qing Huan was here to help one moment and now it seemed like she was here to observe. He just didn’t understand the mixed signals that she was sending….
However, it wasn’t as if it was important for him to know what she was planning.
From the beginning, Ye Qing Huan’s presence was just an extra thing that he shouldn’t have depended on. Even if she did things that seemed like she was helping him, he shouldn’t have depended on them.
In that case, the only thing that he could do now was…
“Let’s go in and investigate what the situation is.” Lin Fan said in a calm voice.
Ye Qing Huan didn’t pull out something like she normally would have done and just followed him with a slight nod.
Lin Fan couldn’t help feeling a bit disappointed since he thought that she would have pulled out a report or a map, but then he quickly scolded himself for feeling this way since it seemed like he was depending on her again.
Since she wasn’t doing anything, he could only depend on himself.
Especially since it was his mission to obtain that Divine Blood Fruit.
So with that, the two of them started heading towards the forest.
As they did, there was someone who called out to them.
“This group of brothers, stop for a moment. Let’s have a talk!”
There was someone that ran over to where they were after they heard this.
This person was a chubby young man who was panting after coming to their side.
The appearance that he had didn’t seem threatening at all, but it was different for Lin Fan and Ye Qing Huan who had sharp senses. They could tell that this chubby young man was not a book to be judged by its cover.
After he caught his breath, he said with a smile, “Are you here for the special event as well?”
This was an obvious question since there was no other reason for anyone to be here. Anyone was able to sense the increase in spiritual energy around this White Frost Mountain which showed that something special was about to appear.
Though this was an obvious question, Lin Fan still gave a slight nod after looking at the chubby young man for a bit.
The chubby young man’s smile widened before he said, “Then how about you come with our group?” He pointed back at a small group of five that were in the distance.
After pointing at them, he said, “My name is Wang Fu and those are my friends. We all came for fun just like you, but with how many people there are…” He gave a deliberate pause before saying, “Small groups like us should stick together or else we might not make it out of here alive.”
Lin Fan could understand what this chubby young man was planning and if they really were a small group, this plan might have seemed enticing.
However, it wasn’t as if there was a need for him to rely on others like this.
“No thank you.” With a simple response, Lin Fan turned to leave without even looking back once.
