Once they came back, it was already late, so everyone just ate some dinner and headed off to rest.
The first thing that Huang Xie did after coming back was offer the dagger to Lin Fan.
“Master, this is a special weapon that was found in the dungeon. Please take it and use it as the sect’s protective artifact.”
The way that he said this was as if he didn’t have a single trace of hesitation about handing over this item that was regarded as an immortal weapon by the Star Tower. That just went to show how devoted he was to the Love Sect and how much he respected Lin Fan as his master.
But Lin Fan shook his head and said, “No, this is something that you’ve found, so you should keep it.”
When Huang Xie refused, he said, “It’s better to let you keep it so that you can use it instead of leaving it here to collect dust in the sect. Not to mention, it seems like it’s bonded to you, so I doubt that anyone else would be able to use it.”
That wasn’t a complete lie since this was a weapon that used a fake dungeon core as a power source.
If it was anyone that wasn’t accepted by the dungeon core, they wouldn’t be able to make it.
It was just that Lin Fan was definitely among the people that was accepted by the dungeon core. He was the one that even made this dagger, so it would be wrong if he wasn’t accepted by the fake dungeon core that he used to create it.
In fact, the dungeon core might even be more accepting of Lin Fan than Huang Xie since it called him ‘papa’.
But it was a fact that Xiao Bai seemed to accept Huang Xie…
That was why Lin Fan had come up with a plan.
He was thinking that he wanted to give Xiao Bai to Huang Xie in the future, though it would be in the far future since he was certain that neither of them were ready for it yet.
After all, it wasn’t as if Xiao Bai could stay with Rokuko forever.
Eventually, Xiao Bai would need to create his own dungeon and if he were to go with the Heaven’s Chosen Huang Xie, there was no doubt that he would have a foot up compared to the other dungeon cores.
The way that Lin Fan thought this, it was almost as if he was finding someone to entrust his daughter to.
Even though Xiao Bai was a boy.
Still, that was something for the future and not something that needed to be discussed now.
Huang Xie didn’t even know about the dungeon cores yet after all.
Once everyone was resting, Lin Fan went to rest himself.
Or he would have if it wasn’t for something that happened.
“The moonlight is beautiful tonight, how about you join me for a cup of wine?”
This voice suddenly ringing out completely caught him off guard.
When Lin Fan turned in the direction of the voice, he found that there was a person with a mask covering their face sitting there on a rock in this garden that he had been walking through.
Lin Fan didn’t raise his guard since he knew that there was no point.
This was a person that had suddenly appeared out of nowhere without him being able to notice them, so there was no way that he would have been able to do anything if this person had bad intentions.
In fact, he could feel the aura that was coming from this person…
This was an aura that he had felt from the Mimic Slime before, so he knew that this person wasn’t any weaker than the Mimic Slime.
If Lin Fan had to guess, this person was most likely in the Rebirth Realm just like the Mimic Slime.
The question was why did such a person come looking for him?
Someone like this would clearly be one of the top cultivators of this continent, so he was not someone that should be that free to come to a place like this.
That was until Lin Fan saw something that was at the waist of this unknown person.
An astrolabe…
It was almost the same as the astrolabes that Wang Fu and the others carried, but it seemed like it was different at the same time. That was because there was this powerful feeling that came from this astrolabe which showed that it was stronger than the others.
This mysterious unknown person was most likely from the Star Tower.
Only…why was he here?
After these thoughts passed through his mind, Lin Fan took a deep breath and walked forward to sit down on the rock in front of this unknown person.
Once he sat down, he took out a bottle of wine from his Storage Ring and poured two cups for them.
The unknown person was surprised at first to see Lin Fan pull out this wine, but then there was a smile that appeared on his face. Since his mask only covered the top half of his face, Lin Fan was able to see this smile that appeared.
He took this time to get a closer look at this person.
This person was dressed in a simple robe that made them look like a simple farmer, but they dressed in a way that covered their body completely so that Lin Fan wasn’t able to find any defining features.
The only thing that seemed special about this person was his mask that seemed to be releasing this strange aura.
It was as if the flow of the world was entering the mask and then leaving through it. It was almost as if the mask contained the very essence of the world.
It was almost as if this mask could see through everything that was in this world.
That was the strange feeling that Lin Fan got when he looked at this mask.
As for the person that wore the mask, he wasn’t really able to see anything from them. It was as if the power of this mask was blocking the power of this person.
When that person reached out for the cup of wine, Lin Fan was finally able to see a defining feature of this person.
Their hand was wrinkled.
This was expected since this was most likely one of the elders of the Star Tower, which was why they were like this. If this was a young person that had reached the Rebirth Realm, then the Star Tower definitely would have been a terrifying place.
It would have been a place that could even match the Five Great Sects then.
If they could, then why would they remain hidden?
But that wasn’t the case.
After taking the wine and having a sip of it, the masked person said, “Ha, ha, good wine. I never thought that you would have something as good as this.”
A faint smile appeared on Lin Fan’s lips when he heard this.
After all, this wasn’t just any wine that he had taken out, it was special wine that he bought for himself. This was a famous brand from his past life, one that he had bought so he could drink on a special occasion.
It was a wine that came from a famous American brand that had been around for over two hundred years, one of the most famous brands of whiskey that was out there.
If it wasn’t good, then it would be an insult to the crafters from his past life.
After he finished off his cup, the masked person looked at Lin Fan with a strange gaze.
It was clear what he was implying with this gaze, so Lin Fan just casually raised the bottle that he was holding and poured another cup for him.
As soon as he finished pouring, the masked person immediately downed the cup that he received and gave a satisfied gasp before saying, “Good wine, good wine, I wish that I could have more.”
The way that he said this was almost as if he was indirectly asking for the entire bottle.
With a sigh, Lin Fan corked the bottle and tossed it over to the masked person.
The masked person quickly grabbed out with his hand and made the bottle disappear.
Once it was gone, that masked person once again revealed a smile as he said, “Sect Master Lin, thank you for the wine.”
Lin Fan just gave a simple nod before saying in a serious voice, “So what are you here for?”
“Ha, ha, ha, there’s no need to be so serious. I’m just here to discuss the cooperation between our Star Tower and the Love Sect. Our tower master’s disciple was the one that started this, but this old man is here to discuss the details.” The old man said with the same silly smile on his face.
With that smile on his face, he didn’t seem to have the prestige that came with an expert at all.
But there was no hiding his aura.
Lin Fan narrowed his eyes before saying, “Then what do you want to discuss?”
“There’s no need to rush, first let me introduce myself.” The masked person’s smile slowly disappeared after he said this.
Then finally releasing a proper aura, the masked person said, “Third Elder of the Star Tower, my name isn’t important. I greet Sect Master Lin of the Love Sect.”
Lin Fan narrowed his eyes even more before returning the greeting, “Sect Master Lin of the Love Sect greets the Third Elder of the Star Tower.”
