After finishing the meal, Lin Fan went off to sleep.
While he had accepted the three girls in his heart after all of this, he still wasn’t able to do anything tonight because he was just too tired.
He had just finished breaking through and had been through a series of hard battles, so he needed a good night’s rest.
Not to mention that there was still plenty of time in the future.
When he woke up the next morning, he found that Ouyang Qian was gone. She had most likely gone back to the store since it would be strange if she was missing for no reason.
Lu’er and Lan’er had prepared a delicious breakfast for him and this time, he allowed them to do the things that they had been trying to do the entire time. He allowed them to slowly feed him like they were new brides instead of eating by himself.
This naturally took much more time than normal, but Lin Fan wasn’t in a rush to go anywhere.
After he finished his breakfast, he headed off to the bar like usual to see if the owner of the bar had any information for him.
To his surprise, he found that the owner of the bar had many people gathered in that secret room when he arrived.
Lin Fan couldn’t help looking around before asking, “What’s wrong? What’s with all these people?”
The owner of the bar had a heavy look before saying, “We’ve taken care of the traitor problem.”
Lin Fan was confused as he asked, “Isn’t that a good thing, why do you look like this?”
The owner of the bar gave a sigh before saying, “This problem is much more serious than we thought. We got rid of the traitors, but…”
Before he could finish, a few of the black clothed people in this underground room stepped forward as if they were about to stop them. He saw this and he turned to look at them to say, “It’s fine, he’s working with us.”
The black clothed figures looked at Lin Fan and it was clear that they weren’t satisfied with this, but they still moved aside in the end.
Seeing that they all moved aside, the owner of the bar looked back at Lin Fan and said, “We discovered something that we didn’t expect and now we have no idea how to handle it.”
Lin Fan once again revealed a confused look as he asked, “What do you mean by something unexpected?”
The owner of the bar hesitated for a while before finally saying, “We followed the traitor back to his base and we were able to find one of the important facilities of the Mercenary Guild. From what we’ve found so far, it should be their research facility…”
Lin Fan knitted hsi brows as soon as he heard this because he could understand what the implications behind this were.
This was the research facility, so it was most likely where the chimeras were being created. However, such an important place would naturally be guarded by powerful people.
It was very likely that there was even a Foundation Realm Cultivator guarding this place.
Lin Fan didn’t know how strong the Flying Feather Organization was as a whole, but he was certain that they wouldn’t have a Foundation Realm Cultivator. Otherwise, there would be no need for them to be afraid of the Mercenary Guild like this and they would be able to make more active moves.
So even if they found the research facility, it wasn’t as if they could do anything with this information.
Or at least that would have been the case before, but now that Lin Fan had broken through…
After Lin Fan silently thought for a bit, he said, “I can help you check that place.”
The owner of the bar revealed a surprised look before knitting his brows and saying, “I appreciate this offer, but…”
Before he could finish, he suddenly felt the aura that Lin Fan released.
It wasn’t just him, all of the black clothed people in the room all turned to look at Lin Fan with narrowed eyes when they felt this aura coming from him.
As an information collecting organization, naturally they knew what the aura of a Foundation Realm Cultivator felt like.
However, they never would have expected Lin Fan to have one.
As far as they knew, Lin Fan had only been in the Ninth Qi Gathering Realm a few days ago, so how did he suddenly break through like this?
But it wasn’t their place to ask him about this, so they turned their attention back to the matter on hand.
Without a Foundation Realm Cultivator backing them, naturally they didn’t dare check out this research facility. However, with Lin Fan who had now broken through to the Foundation Realm, they had more confidence in sneaking in for information.
The key thing was that they weren’t there to destroy the research facility, they were only there to get some information.
So even someone like Lin Fan who had broken through to the Foundation Realm was enough for them.
The only problem was that it was awkward asking Lin Fan to risk his life like this.
But in the end, this was also their only option.
The owner of the bar asked, “Are you sure that you want to do this? It isn’t something that you absolutely have to do, we’re fine with giving up this opportunity.”
Lin Fan shook his head, “No, this is important, so let’s do this.”
The owner of the bar didn’t keep trying to dissuade Lin Fan and instead said, “Thank you.”
After that, he took out all the information that they had on this research facility.
If they were going to let Lin Fan take this risk for them, not giving him every bit of information that they had would be considered an embarrassment to them as an information gathering organization.
This research facility was naturally in a place that wasn’t in the city.
To Lin Fan’s surprise though, this research facility was actually very close to Clear Water Mountain, being only a few kilometers away. However, when he thought about it, it made sense since it would be very hard for them to transport these creatures long distances.
It would be much easier for them to transport the creatures to nearby villages if they wanted to keep a low profile.
This research facility was a facility that was found inside of a cave in the mountain, so they didn’t have much information about the inside. They had only surveyed the surrounding area after being led there by the traitor.
So even if they wanted to give Lin Fan some information, they didn’t have much information to give.
Lin Fan didn’t mind since all he really needed was just where the base was.
When it came to who would actually go with him, Lin Fan didn’t care. In fact, he actually preferred if no one went with him at all because it would be easier for him if he could move alone.
While the owner of the bar was worried because of this, he had to admit that Lin Fan was right.
The experts that worked for the Flying Feather Organization were only at most in the Sixth Qi Gathering Realm. They did have some cultivators that were good at fighting, but they weren’t that much stronger, only being in the Eighth Qi Gathering Realm.
So they wouldn’t be that helpful to Lin Fan if there was a fight. All that would happen is that they would be a burden for him.𝑂𝒱𝓵xt.𝗇𝓔t
With no other choice, the owner of the bar had to leave it to Lin Fan.
But before he left, he also gave Lin Fan quite a few items.
These were things that Lin Fan could have gotten from his system, but that would cost him points or DP, so it was better to get it for free from the owner of the bar.
After loading up on these items, naturally the first thing that he had to do was talk to the two girls at home and the one in the store.
Even though they had worried looks, they still understood why Lin Fan was doing this and supported him. But that didn’t mean that they weren’t worried about his safety, so they made him promise to come back safely.
Lin Fan gave each of them a pat on the head and a promise that he would return.
Once that was all taken care of, Lin Fan left the city once again.
When the guards at the gate saw him leaving, they couldn’t help being surprised again.
The leader of the guards couldn’t help asking, “You’ve been going out of the city a lot recently. Did something happen?”
They knew that Lin Fan was a mercenary after seeing his Mercenary License when he left the city for the first time. But they didn’t hear about anything special going on around the city during this time, so it didn’t make sense for Lin Fan to go out that much.
Lin Fan just casually said, “I’ve been taking some missions in the surrounding area, it’s not really anything strange.”
The leader of the guard looked at Lin Fan in silence for a few seconds before giving a nod in response.
However, when Lin Fan left, the leader of the guards wrote up a report about Lin Fan that he sent to the City Lord Manor.
It was just too bad that the City Lord had been completely distracted by the new discoveries with the chimeras that he never read this report.
If only he had read it, he might have been able to save himself quite a bit of trouble.
