Lin Fan said a few days, but it actually took him two weeks to finish up everything.
During this time, there were several more reports that came from Fair White City, but most of them were just routine reports on the activities of Han Fu Rong.
The only report of note was one reporting that someone had visited Han Fu Rong, someone that Mu Bao Bao recognized.
“Junior brother Gu!”
Mu Bao Bao exclaimed in an excited voice the moment that she read the description of this person.
Lin Fan couldn’t help raising a brow when he heard this and he asked in a curious voice, “How are you so sure that it’s him?”
Mu Bao Bao pointed at one of the parts in the description and said in an awkward voice, “This X shaped scar on his face, I was the one who gave him that…”
Lin Fan couldn’t help looking at Mu Bao Bao with a strange look when he heard this.
Mu Bao Bao turned her red face away a bit before telling him the story, “It was when we were younger. When we were practicing our sword dances, my sword accidentally flew away and cut him right in the face…”
Lin Fan couldn’t help asking, “But that shouldn’t make a X shaped scar, right?”
Mu Bao Bao’s face turned even more red as she said, “It happened more than once…”
Lin Fan’s face had three dark lines over it as he said, “Are you sure that he wants to see you again?”
Mu Bao Bao looked away for a few seconds before suddenly raising her head and saying in a confident voice, “Of course he would want to see me! He’s my junior brother and we’re all that’s left of the Love Sect!”
Lin Fan looked at her with a skeptical look, but he didn’t say anything other than, “Mmm.”
Mu Bao Bao could sense the doubt in his voice, but there was nothing for her to refute this, so she just gave an excuse and ran off.
After the two weeks were over, Lin Fan headed out of the dungeon town with his carriage and Mu Bao Bao sitting in the back.
Like usual, it was Hi who was pulling his carriage and because of this, he had attracted a lot of attention.
With the way that the crowd gathered, it was almost as if the dungeon town was hosting a parade…Though this parade only had a single float in it, which was Lin Fan’s carriage.
Lin Fan naturally knew about what kind of things Yue Lan had done, but there was nothing that he could do about it.
After all, he needed the dungeon town to become famous and this was allowing the dungeon town to become famous. If he were to destroy his fame just so he wouldn’t be bothered anymore, that would actually hurt the dungeon town.
So all he could do was suck it up and become a figurehead.
He was almost certain that this was Yue Lan’s small way of getting back at him for dumping all his work on her…
But of course, it wasn’t that.
It was Yue Lan’s way of taking care of Lin Fan. She wanted her man to be the best, so naturally she would do anything that she could to help him increase his fame.
Once they were out of the town, the crowd finally scattered and Lin Fan let out a sigh of relief.
It was only then that Mu Bao Bao came out of the carriage and sat down beside him on the driver’s bench.
Without hesitation, she leaned over and rested her head on his shoulder.
Lin Fan just smiled without saying a thing.
This kind of peaceful traveling was quite enjoyable since Lin Fan hadn’t really spent that much time alone with Mu Bao Bao.
Mu Bao Bao’s heart was also fluttering as she just laid there.
In her mind, she had almost forgotten that she was his master…
But of course, that didn’t last long…
In this ancient cultivation world, the thing that was most common were bandits. It was hard to make a living in this world, so a lot of people turned to being bandits since it was an easy way to make a living.
Not to mention that the public order in this Mu Empire wasn’t good to begin with with its various corrupt officials, so there were rarely any consequences to being a bandit as long as they didn’t go too far.
As long as they didn’t target anyone important, it was easy for them to earn money.
So when they saw Lin Fan’s carriage, the bandits immediately mistook him for an easy target.
A young man like this with this kind of luxurious carriage that was being pulled by a spirit beast and who had a beautiful woman by his side like this. It was clear that he was some young master that was traveling the world with his family’s money.

Since that was the case, they would use this chance to teach him a lesson about the world and get some tuition fee.
Lin Fan had been driving the carriage along the road until he found that there were several logs blocking his way.
As he saw this, he couldn’t help revealing a strange smile as it felt like a cliche that he had read about before.
Then as he had expected, there were a few large men that came out in front of him. The leader of these men said, “Well, well, look what this is. It seems like it’s our lucky day, isn’t it, boys?”
The bandits all revealed wide smiles as they nodded in agreement.
Lin Fan just looked at these people and he couldn’t help shaking his head.
These people…they couldn’t look more like stereotypical bandits with the way that they were dressed. It amazed him and almost hurt him to see them dressed like this…
The leader of the bandits didn’t know what Lin Fan was thinking and didn’t care as he said, “Little boy, shouldn’t you pay a toll to pass through my road?”
Lin Fan raised a brow and asked, “This is your road?”
The leader of the bandits said with a smile, “I built this blockade here, so it’s my road. And since it’s my road, you should pay me a toll.”
Lin Fan’s lips twitched when he heard this.
These bandits, they really were the most stereotypical bandits he had ever seen. They even used this kind of line…
Lin Fan narrowed his eyes and said, “What if I don’t feel like paying?”
The leader of the bandits said, “Well, you’re not going to like what happens next.”
Then after taking a closer look at Mu Bao Bao, he suddenly said with a lewd look, “Of course, if your female companion is willing to spend some time with us, I could say that we can let you off.”
Lin Fan narrowed his eyes when he heard this as a trace of killing intent filled his eyes after hearing these words.
The bandits were about to break out in laughter to support their boss, but they suddenly felt a chill come over them. Not a single one of them were able to make a sound as they started trembling.
They didn’t know where this chill came from, but it felt like they had been frozen to the bone.
The leader of the bandits was about to say something, but Mu Bao Bao finally lifted her head from Lin Fan’s shoulder.
She had been ignoring the bandits because she thought that they would be smart enough to realize their mistake. She never thought that these people would be idiots that refused to learn.
Since they had ruined her enjoyable time, she wouldn’t let them have a good end.
When seeing Mu Bao Bao’s face, the bandits were completely stunned since they had never seen anyone as beautiful as her before.
Some of them couldn’t even help drooling as they stared at Mu Bao Bao. Though this only lasted a single second before pressure that was like a mountain fell onto them, pressing them onto the ground.
Seeing them act like this, both Lin Fan and Mu Bao Bao had released their auras.
It was at that moment that the bandits realized that they had messed up.
They thought that they had found some easy prey, but it turned out that they had kicked a steel wall.
This wasn’t easy prey, but rather these two young people were clearly experts that had been hiding their cultivations. If they were to try to do anything to them, they would be the ones buried in the ground.
The leader of the bandits didn’t hesitate at all as he got onto his knees and started begging, “Please, spare me! My lords, I didn’t know, I didn’t know! I swear that I will turn a new leaf and never hurt anyone again!”
The other bandits weren’t fools and could recognize that the pressure on them was coming from Lin Fan and Mu Bao Bao. They immediately fell to their knees and started begging again.
Before Lin Fan could do anything, Mu Bao Bao made her move.
With a wave of her hand, there was spiritual energy that suddenly lifted the heads of all the bandits so that they could look at her.
Seeing the calm look on her face and having their heads lifted like this, they felt a bit of hope.
However, Mu Bao Bao’s next words crushed that hope.
“Do you really think that we’re fools?”
All of the bandits trembled when they heard this.
The leader of the bandits didn’t give up as he pleaded, “You are honourable cultivators and we’re just lowly mortals trying to make a living. We know that we have strayed from the right path, but we have only ever tried to do our best to survive. Please find it in your hearts to spare us.”
The words that he used sounded quite good, but there wasn’t a single word that he meant.
After all, he had become a bandit for one reason and one reason only.
To make a lot of money without doing much work.
He didn’t care who he hurt to do this as long as he was living a good life.
But now, he had to pretend that this wasn’t the case.
It was just too bad for him that Mu Bao Bao wasn’t fooled at all. She just calmly asked, “Then whose blood is that on the side?”
Lin Fan hadn’t noticed it earlier, but when he looked at the trees on the side, he found that there were indeed traces of blood on them.
It seemed like these bandits had already done their jobs earlier…
The leader of the bandits was about to give another excuse, but Mu Bao Bao wouldn’t listen. With a single wave of her hand, a spiritual energy blade cut through the necks of these bandits, causing their heads to fall to the ground.
Without a single change in her expression, she said to Lin Fan, “Let’s keep going.”
Lin Fan gave a nod before punching out, sending all the logs in front of them flying away. He then tapped Hi on the back and Hi continued forward without a single care for the bandits.
Perhaps he might have been bothered by this in the past, but now…
He knew that this was a dog eat dog world.
