Lin Fan wasn’t surprised to hear this since he had already expected this, but he was surprised to hear Wang Fu admit it to his face.
He didn’t know what Wang Fu was planning, but it was clear that he had a reason for revealing this.
However, it didn’t seem like Wang Fu was in a rush to say anything as he suddenly made an order. The waiter had come in right after he said this, so Wang Fu took this chance to order some dishes.
After ordering those dishes, he led the little girl over to the table and sat down before looking back at Lin Fan.
With the way that he was looking at him, it was as if he was inviting Lin Fan to sit down.
Lin Fan narrowed his eyes to look at Wang Fu for a bit before sitting down at the same table.
But even though he sat down, he didn’t say a thing as he waited for Wang Fu to speak. However, Wang Fu also didn’t say anything as he sat there as if he was waiting for the dishes to be brought over.
There was an awkward silence that hung in the air until the food came.
After Wang Fu sent off the waiter, the little girl didn’t hesitate as she started eating, but Wang Fu looked at Lin Fan to say, “I’m sure you’re wondering how I knew that it was you.”
Lin Fan slightly knitted his brows, but he didn’t say anything as he waited for Wang Fu to explain.
Wang Fu could see the way that Lin Fan looked at him, so he said, “Well, it’s simply because of this.”
After saying that, Wang Fu pulled out an astrolabe that he placed on the table for Lin Fan to take a closer look at.
Even if Wang Fu took it out, it wasn’t as if Lin Fan could understand what he meant by this. After all, an astrolabe wasn’t a tool that anyone could use and his Appraisal Eyes told him that there wasn’t anything special about this.
Not to mention that this was the ancient Chinese version of the astrolabe that was just like a compass, so it wasn’t as if there was anything that could be seen with it.
Seeing that Lin Fan didn’t say anything in response, Wang Fu said, “I used that to divine that we had met before and where we met before, that is why I know.”
Lin Fan had a doubtful look on his face, but Wang Fu’s next words proved it.
“So is your companion not here? Or did she return to her sect?”
Lin Fan narrowed his eyes upon hearing this, but this time he couldn’t remain silent.
It was one thing if Wang Fu knew who he was, but if Wang Fu knew who Ye Qing Huan was…then it would be very bad for both him and Ye Qing Huan. After all, the Heavenly Demon Sect’s involvement in the struggle for the Divine Blood Fruit had to be kept a secret.
If Wang Fu knew the truth, then the only thing that he could do was…
“Are you sure that you want to keep asking that? Or do you already know more than you should know?” Lin Fan said in a calm voice, but there was a coldness in his voice that would send a chill down normal people’s spine.
However, Wang Fu and the little girl didn’t seem bothered by this.
The little girl continued to eat while Wang Fu looked at him with a calm look on his face.
However, Wang Fu did say, “You don’t have to stare at me like that. Even if I know a bit about your companion, that doesn’t mean that I know everything.”
After a pause, he picked up the astrolabe from the table and then started to fiddle with it. As he fiddled with it, it seemed like spiritual energy was gathering around the astrolabe.
It didn’t take long before the astrolabe suddenly lit up.
There were only parts of the astrolabe that lit up, but it seemed like there was some kind of pattern.
Then all of a sudden, there was this black light that appeared on the astrolabe that seemed to swallow the other light that was there. It was as if this was some kind of destroyer that was destroying the scene.
When it was over, all of the light disappeared.
Wang Fu looked back up at Lin Fan and calmly said, “As you can see, if you force things like this, then all that will happen is that you will be hit by karma. So even if I wanted to see what identity your companion had, it isn’t possible for me since I would be punished by karma for trying to see something that is far beyond me. You don’t have to worry at all.”
“You must have learned these skills from someone though.” Lin Fan said in a calm voice that still had the same chill to it as before.
Wang Fu revealed a faint smile before saying, “That’s right, but my master and the elders of my sect are not people that want to stand out. We have kept our position on the continent over the years by remaining neutral, so we wouldn’t take that risk now.”
Lin Fan narrowed his eyes to look at Wang Fu.
Though he didn’t know who Wang Fu was referring to, it didn’t seem like there were any lies in Wang Fu’s eyes.
It seemed that at the very least, he meant what he said about his master and elders.
But that did raise another concern.
This confession meant that there was indeed someone that was behind Wang Fu and the little girl.
Lin Fan had already expected that there was some kind of force between the little girl and Wang Fu, but he didn’t know just how powerful they were. But based on the introduction that Wang Fu gave, it seemed like they might not be as well known as one thought.
“So who do you represent?”
Lin Fan didn’t bother beating around the bush and directly asked Wang Fu this.
Wang Fu didn’t seem to mind, but the little girl finally stopped eating to look up at him to say, “Big Brother Wang, should you really be talking about this?”
Wang Fu looked at her and gave a nod as he said, “I’m certain that this friend won’t say anything about this.” He turned back to look at Lin Fan before saying, “I’m certain that this friend has his own circumstances.”
Lin Fan narrowed his eyes to look at Wang Fu, but he eventually nodded in agreement.
Since this might involve Ye Qing Huan, he naturally couldn’t say a thing.
If it was known that Ye Qing Huan had been involved in the matter of the Divine Blood Fruit, it would be hard to imagine what the consequences would be. This was something that Lin Fan could never let anyone know about.
But that didn’t answer the question that he had of who they were.
So he continued asking, “Just who are you and what do you want?”
Wang Fu revealed a smile as he said, “There’s no need to be this tense, we don’t even know your name yet. You already know that I am Wang Fu and this one…” He gestured to the little girl as he continued, “Is Mei Yu.”
Then turning back to Lin Fan, Wang Fu asked, “Friend, may I ask what your name is?”
“Lin Fan.” After a bit of hesitation, Lin Fan still gave his name.
He didn’t know why, but he felt that there was something strange about Wang Fu after he said this.
Wang Fu gave a nod before saying, “Brother Lin, I want to extend the same invitation as before. I hope that we will be able to work together in the future since I’m sure that you will go on to do great things in the future.”
The little girl named Mei Yu looked up once again after hearing this.
She narrowed her eyes to look at Lin Fan as if she didn’t believe this, but she didn’t say anything after that as she went back to her food.
Lin Fan didn’t agree to this proposal that quickly as he said, “You still haven’t told me what power you represent. If you don’t tell me at least this, then how do you expect me to work with you?”
Wang Fu’s smile appeared on his face again as he tapped his head as if he had made a mistake, “Look at me, I was so excited that I completely forgot about this.”
Then with a more serious look, he said, “My little sister and I both come from the Star Tower.”
“Star Tower?” Lin Fan asked in a confused voice.
Even after doing his research on the sects that were spread out across the continent, he had never heard the name Star Tower before.
Wang Fu gave a nod in agreement before saying, “You can think of it as a hidden sect. We normally keep to ourselves and ignore the rest of the continent, but we have made some moves when the time is right. At the very least, we can’t ignore the Five Great Sects and have made some deals with them.”
The way that he said this was almost as if they were on par with the Five Great Sects which made Lin Fan knit his brows.
The way that he described the Star Tower, it was very similar to the hidden ancient families in the novels that he had read before.
