But even if it was an ancient hidden faction, that didn’t mean that it was powerful enough to rival the Five Great Sects.
There was a reason why they didn’t show themselves on the main stage of the continent after all.
If they were strong enough to show themselves on the continent, then they wouldn’t have been a hidden faction in the first place. But that also didn’t mean that they were weak.
There was a reason why they were able to hide themselves the entire time.
So Lin Fan had to consider whether he would work with them or not.
No matter what, having one extra ally was always better than having another enemy.
If the Star Tower was willing to work with them, then it might be a good thing.
That also naturally depended on what kind of strength the Star Tower had, so there were more questions that Lin Fan had to ask first.
He wouldn’t just make a rash decision.
After thinking about it, Lin Fan said, “So what kind of power does your Star Tower have?”
A faint smile appeared on Wang Fu’s face when he heard this before he pointed down at the astrolabe that was on the table. After pointing at it, he said, “Naturally we rely on this.”
Lin Fan raised a brow, but then he figured out what he meant by this.
Fortune telling.
It seemed that this was a sect that relied purely on fortune telling to create a place for themselves.
They had been able to slide under the radar by making deals with the various sects with their fortune telling powers. That allowed them to live a life where they wouldn’t need to worry about others invading them.
But Lin Fan could tell that they weren’t that weak either.
Especially that Wang Fu who was sitting in front of him.
To cultivate those fortune telling powers, he must have cultivated quite a bit.
So Lin Fan shouldn’t look down on Wang Fu when he hadn’t shown any powers yet.
After thinking about it, Lin Fan asked, “Why do you want to work with me then?”
“I can tell that there’s something special about you.” Wang Fu didn’t hold back at all as he said this.
The way that he said this showed that he had no hesitation at all, it was as if he fully believed in these words that came out of his mouth.
But Lin Fan couldn’t understand why Wang Fu would say this…unless it was possible that Wang Fu had calculated something off about him. Was it possible that Wang Fu knew that there was something special about him that didn’t come from this world?
If that was the case, then Lin Fan could understand why he was acting this way.
The special thing not from this world that Lin Fan had allowed him to become much stronger than anyone else in this world, but that was only on the condition that he had time to become stronger.
If Wang Fu knew about this, Lin Fan seriously had to consider whether he should take care of the two in front of him.
Even if it meant turning the Star Tower into his enemies, he had no choice but to do it.
This was his biggest secret, this was his reverse scale that couldn’t be violated no matter what happened.
But when Wang Fu saw that Lin Fan didn’t say anything in response, he misunderstood why Lin Fan was silent. He thought that Lin Fan was silent since he was waiting for him to say more, so Wang Fu continued speaking.
“Simply put, you have the aura of a ruler. I know that as long as we keep following you, we will be able to reap the benefits of following you early.” Wang Fu said with a wide smile on his face.
Lin Fan narrowed his eyes to look at Wang Fu and it didn’t seem like he was kidding about this. It seemed like Wang Fu seriously believed what he was saying, which was why he was doing all of this.
But there was still a part of him that was worried about whether Wang Fu knew a certain something or not…
This time, Wang Fu didn’t make a mistake in guessing what Lin Fan’s thoughts were.
“Even if I want to, I can’t see everything about you. I can only see a few things since there is the price of karma that needs to be paid. All the things that I read can have devastating effects, so there has to be a price to pay. The things that are deeply hidden are the things that are the hardest to find since they have the heaviest karma. So even if I feel that you have the aura of a ruler, that doesn’t mean that I’m able to see through your secrets. I don’t know everything about you.” The smile disappeared from Wang Fu’s face as he said this and when he finished, there was a very serious look that was on his face.
Lin Fan narrowed his eyes to look at Wang Fu once more, but it seemed that Wang Fu wasn’t hiding anything.
Mei Yu had been silent the entire time, but now she suddenly said, “Big Brother Wang, is there a need to tell him everything? If he knows everything, then that means that he will know our weakness too.”
There was a displeased look that was on Mei Yu’s face, while a bitter smile appeared on Wang Fu’s face.
Lin Fan had to admit that the two of them did seem quite convincing when they acted like this, but he still couldn’t believe them that easily.
It was Wang Fu’s final words that convinced him.
“This is our sincerity, plain and simple. I hope that we will be able to work together.”
There were many things that Lin Fan had considered, but when Wang Fu was being this serious and sincere, it just made him feel a bit silly.
While he wasn’t certain what Wang Fu had seen with his fortune telling, he didn’t think that it would be that light if Wang Fu was willing to go this far. It must mean that Wang Fu had seen something quite important.
No…Could it be that it was because of the Heaven’s Chosen that Wang Fu wanted to work with them?
If that was the case, it made much more sense since the Heaven’s Chosen would encounter things like this.
Though for Lin Fan whose only experience was reading cultivation novels, this would be in the form of meeting a girl from one of the ancient hidden factions and being split by them.
Perhaps there was another such encounter for Huang Xie?
Though if that didn’t happen, it would be quite the blow to Huang Xie and Xiao Ming’s relationship.
Well, the Love Sect did promote free love, so it wasn’t as if it would be something that they looked down on or rejected. After all, even Lin Fan himself had a harem…so it wasn’t as if he could actually say anything about this.
If they were there for the Heaven’s Chosen, then he would have to make sure that they wouldn’t steal him from them.
Lin Fan had a good idea of how deep Huang Xie’s connection to the Love Sect was, so he didn’t think that they would be able to steal them from the Love Sect. But in the end, it was better to be careful than to let them take him.
Since he showed this sincerity, there was no longer a reason for Lin Fan to reject him.
With a simple nod, Lin Fan said, “Alright, but you still have to tell me what kind of cooperation you want.”
Wang Fu revealed a wide smile when he heard this since he could tell that he had basically succeeded in convincing Lin Fan to work with their Star Tower, but he also knew that there were still some more things that they needed to discuss.
So Wang Fu didn’t waste any time as he went right into it.
“Right now, we just want to send some people to follow by your side and get a feel for your group. Once we have a good idea of what the Love Sect is like, we will be able to think of a better plan for cooperation.”
Lin Fan narrowed his eyes to look at Wang Fu before saying, “Then will you let our people go to your Star Tower as well?”
Wang Fu revealed an awkward look when he heard this, but he didn’t agree right away this time.
Instead, Wang Fu said, “It’s a bit hard for us to reach the Star Tower from here. We would want to send your people to our Star Tower as well, but it would be hard right now…”
It was almost as if he was dodging the question which made Lin Fan suspicious.
Wang Fu could see the suspicion that was on Lin Fan’s face, so he took out a map and pointed out a spot to say, “This is where our Star Tower is.”
When Lin Fan saw this, he had to nod in agreement.
That was because the Star Tower was on the completely opposite side of the continent.
It would take a long time to travel there, so what he said was true.
At the very least, he was willing to reveal where the hidden faction was, which was a sign of trust.
Even Mei Yu looked very unhappy with Wang Fu, which showed that he was telling the truth.
So in the end, Lin Fan agreed to their request.
