Half an hour later, Lin Fan walked into a room where Rokuko and Xiao Bai were waiting for him.
“Papa!” Xiao Bai happily shouted before coming over to hug Lin Fan.
Lin Fan also had a smile on his face when he lifted Xiao Bai up in his arms and held him in his embrace.
Even though he had just seen him yesterday, it was a fact that Lin Fan was quite the busy person because of the different things that he had to take care of. Even if he wanted to spend time with the people that he cared about, he really didn’t have the time to spend meaningful time with them.
He was being pulled all over the place.
Such as his recent trip.
Even today, they weren’t gathered here to spend private time together, but rather to solve an issue.
This was an issue that came from the Dungeon Master System.
Once Xiao Bai had his fill hugging him, he put Xiao Bai down and focused on the message that he had received through the Dungeon Master System.
Lin Fan looked at Rokuko and asked, “Why would she do this?”
Rokuko had a difficult look on her face before slowly shaking her head to show that she didn’t know.
Xiao Bai just looked at the two of them with a confused look on his face as he didn’t seem to understand what they were talking about, but it was a good thing that Rokuko had brought snacks along which distracted him.
After a long silence, Rokuko said, “I don’t know why she would do this. She just suddenly sent that message this morning…”
As for the matter that they were agonizing over…
It was a message that Haku had sent early in the morning for them.
But it wasn’t just any message, it was a special message that could be considered a disaster for them.
That was because Haku had suddenly challenged them to a dungeon battle.
A dungeon battle was something that could be initiated at any time, but there were certain limitations that were required before it could be started.
After all, the god of magic Weiss didn’t want to see the dungeon cores that he regarded as children to slaughter each other. But at the same time, he knew that it would be impossible to stop them from fighting each other completely.
So that was why dungeon battles were for.
If one had a grievance, the dungeon battles were the easiest way to settle a matter.
As for the grievance that Haku had filed…
“Offended me.”
Those were the only words that were written under the part that listed her grievance for starting this dungeon battle.
As far as Lin Fan and Rokuko could think of, they couldn’t think of a way that they had offended Haku.
At the same time, there was something that was even more strange about this dungeon battle request.
It was that it also included Xiao Bai in the ones that would be defending.
That meant that Haku had challenged not just Lin Fan and Rokuko, but also Xiao Bai to a dungeon battle.
Haku had never even met Xiao Bai before, so there shouldn’t be a reason why she would challenge Xiao Bai to a dungeon battle. Let alone a reason why he might have offended her.
So they just couldn’t figure out what Haku was planning with this dungeon battle challenge.
However, there seemed to be the option to mediate as well which was a strange thing.
According to the dungeon core forum, it seemed that this was a rare case that could be added to dungeon battles at the choosing of the one that initiated the dungeon battle.
In the case where mediation was done, both parties would be brought into a special space that was created by the god of magic Weiss and they would be able to talk things through.
If they were able to reach an understanding, then the dungeon battle would be dropped.
If they weren’t able to reach an understanding, then there would be a dungeon battle.
So right now, it was better to have this mediation session.
After all, Lin Fan didn’t need to be there to watch over the Star Tower people at this moment. They were being watched by the people of the Love Sect, so this might be the only free time that he had.
If Haku were to actually call a dungeon battle, that would be the worst case scenario.
Haku was one of the strongest dungeon cores that didn’t even flinch to give a million DP, she definitely was not someone that they wanted to face.
After coming to that decision, Lin Fan accepted the mediation offer that was attached to the dungeon battle challenge.
When he did, he found that there was a layer of light that appeared around him, Rokuko, and Xiao Bai.
In no time at all, all three of them were teleported away from that room that they were in.
When the lights cleared, they found that they were sitting inside of a room that was in the middle of empty space. To call it a room was a bit of an exaggeration since there were no walls and ceilings, only a floor and some furniture.
The furniture was also just a table, some couches, and some chairs.
It seemed like this was just the most basic setting that could be given, but then again, this was nothing more than a simple place for mediation. It wasn’t a place that needed to be that fancy in the first place.
After they appeared, they found that they were the only ones that were here.
The other side hadn’t arrived yet.
It seemed like it only offered a place and a teleportation, whether the other side came or not was up to them.
But since Lin Fan’s group had been teleported here, it wasn’t as if there was anything that they could do but wait. There wasn’t much that was here, but it seemed that they were able to access the system store and buy a few things to help them pass the time.
It was a good thing that they didn’t have to wait long for Haku to appear.
She appeared all on her own, but then again, she was the only one that was issuing the challenge to all three of them.
After she appeared, the first thing that she did was turn her eyes to Rokuko.
As her eyes fell onto Rokuko, they immediately lit up and she came over to take Rokuko in her arms with a smile on her face as she said, “Little sister, it’s been a long time since we’ve been able to meet!”
Rokuko had a very awkward look on her face as she didn’t expect this to be Haku’s first reaction, but she still said with a smile, “Big sister, it’s been a long time.”
Haku didn’t hesitate at all to hug Rokuko tightly and she even pinched her body a few times before saying, “It seems like you’ve gained a bit of weight during this time.” Then with a wide smile, she said, “But it’s all good that you’re healthy.”
Rokuko looked even more embarrassed when she heard this since she couldn’t deny this.
Of course, Rokuko was someone who spent all of her time playing video games and eating snacks in the first place, so it was hard for her not to gain weight. It was already a miracle that this was the only weight that she gained.
She couldn’t say anything to Haku, so the only thing that she could do was turn to Lin Fan with a look that seemed to be asking for help.
With an awkward cough, Lin Fan said, “Miss Haku, is there a reason why you’ve issued a dungeon battle against us?”
Haku immediately narrowed her eyes to look at Lin Fan, but he was surprised to see the hostility in her eyes. It was almost as if she held a personal grudge against him.
No, he wasn’t surprised to see this since he already knew that she didn’t like him because he was Rokuko’s dungeon master. She had never liked him because in her mind, he was the one that was keeping Rokuko away from her.
But this was different from the way that she normally looked at him.
It seemed that there was even more hostility than normal, almost as if he had done something to greatly offend her.
Lin Fan just felt even more confused when he saw this, but he waited to see what she would say.
“Of course I would issue a dungeon challenge against you when you’ve offended me like this!” Haku said in a powerful voice.
Both Rokuko and Lin Fan were confused to hear this, so Lin Fan asked, “What do you mean? I don’t think that we’ve ever offended you.”
“You dare to keep my nephew away from me! You didn’t even tell me that I had a nephew in the first place!” Haku said in a voice that was filled with genuine anger.
“Nephew?” Both Lin Fan and Rokuko asked in a confused voice before slowly understanding what she meant.
She was someone that referred to herself as Rokuko’s big sister, so if she was referring to someone as her nephew, naturally it was Xiao Bai who called Rokuko mother.
Xiao Bai was a smart child and could figure out what the situation was based on the context.
So after a moment of silence, he looked at Haku with his head tilted and asked, “Aunt?”
