After all of the others had fallen, the cloaked figure waved their hand and the remaining pieces of paper fell to the ground.
Not all of them had been used on the bosses and their subordinates. The cloaked figure had kept a few of them in the air, as if they had expected the bosses and subordinates to put up more of a fight.
But since they were all dead, there was no need to keep these pieces of paper floating in the air.
Once all the pieces of paper had fallen, the cloaked figure turned as if they were about to leave.
However, before they did leave, they suddenly turned around to look around the room, as if they were looking for something.
Lin Fan who had been spying on the room with Greeny’s puppets couldn’t help trembling when he saw this.
That was because for a second, the cloaked figure had been looking right at one of the puppets in the room. It was almost as if they could see the puppet that was watching them.
But after looking around for a bit, the cloaked figure stopped looking around and turned around again. Then just like before, the cloaked figure seemed to disappear into thin air.
Lin Fan didn’t dare let his guard down after seeing this and he just tensely sat there.
Mu Bao Bao saw that there was something wrong with him and was about to ask him what was wrong, but Lin Fan slowly shook his head towards her. Seeing this, Mu Bao Bao closed her mouth and quietly sat there, waiting for Lin Fan to give the alright signal.
After waiting for a while, Lin Fan stood up and led Mu Bao Bao out of the bar.
They had been sitting in the bar where this had all been happening. Lin Fan had been using Greeny’s puppets while Mu Bao Bao had been keeping an eye on everything that happened around them.
After they left the bar, Lin Fan stopped Mu Bao Bao from asking him questions again.
It was only when they went back to their room and Lin Fan and Mu Bao Bao both put up barriers that Lin Fan finally let out a sigh of relief.
Seeing him act like this, Mu Bao Bao couldn’t help asking, “What happened?”
Lin Fan didn’t answer at first as he revealed a heavy look, but then he told her about what had happened.
Mu Bao Bao couldn’t help revealing a surprised look after she finished listening before knitting her brows to ask, “Are you sure that he was looking for you?”
Lin Fan shook his head before giving a nod. Then he said, “I’m not 100% certain, but it seemed like he was looking at me.”
Mu Bao Bao was silent for a bit before asking, “What do we do then?”
Lin Fan was also silent at first, but then he said, “We’re leaving tomorrow.”
Mu Bao Bao’s brows relaxed a bit when she heard this, but they were still slightly knitted. Still, she nodded in agreement to what Lin Fan said.
The two of them spent the night taking turns standing on guard since neither of them were assured in just sleeping without guarding the room. It was a good thing that both of them were powerful cultivators, so it didn’t matter that they didn’t get as much sleep.
When they woke up in the morning, they didn’t waste any time at all summoning out the carriage and headed out of town.
They could have gone out without the carriage, but since they had arrived in the town with the carriage, it would make more sense to leave with it.
The guards remembered the two of them since they had come with the Flying Crest Merchants, so they were allowed to leave the town without much of a fuss. Of course, the gold coins that Lin Fan secretly passed to the guards also helped with that.
They quickly headed down the road after leaving the town and only after they were a few kilometers away did they let out a sigh of relief.
It seemed that the cloaked figure hadn’t found out that it was them who was spying and hadn’t followed them.
They stopped by the side of the road to relax for a bit before moving on to their next destination.
But during this time, Lin Fan felt something strange.
This wasn’t anything to do with the cloaked figure, but rather he felt something strange coming from inside of the Pet Storage Space.
After telling Mu Bao Bao that he had to go for a bit, he entered the Pet Storage Space.
Mu Bao Bao was confused where he was going, but she was already used to all the strange things that he always did.
Still, she was very surprised when he disappeared without a trace. Even with her strong spiritual senses, she wasn’t able to find a trace of him.
When Lin Fan appeared in the Pet Storage Space, he couldn’t help squinting his eyes.
That was because the Pet Storage Space was filled with a light that he had never seen before in the Pet Storage Space. This light was so strong that he even thought that it was the light of the sun, but that shouldn’t have existed in this Pet Storage Space.
After taking some time to adjust to the brightness of this light, Lin Fan was able to see what it was coming from.
It was a little bird that was lying down on the grass that was releasing this bright glow.𝒩𝑶𝒱𝓵xt.𝓬𝗈𝗆
Lin Fan was surprised to see this little bird since it was the last thing that he had expected to release this kind of bright glow.
It was the Gale Sparrow that Lin Fan had completely forgotten about.
After all, once he had obtained Greeny, he had no need for this Gale Sparrow anymore since Greeny’s puppets could do the Gale Sparrow’s job better.
But the Gale Sparrow had been with him since the beginning, so Lin Fan couldn’t just abandon it.
He had left it in the Pet Storage Space the entire time since he didn’t know what to do with it for now. In the end, he had completely forgotten about it and it remained in the Pet Storage Space indefinitely.
But it wasn’t as if the Gale Sparrow suffered from staying in the Pet Storage Space.
The Pet Storage Space was a place that was filled with spiritual energy, so any spirit beast that stayed here wouldn’t suffer. In fact, this was a place that was like a paradise for any spirit beasts, so the Gale Sparrow was very happy to stay here.
Spirit beasts needed a large amount of spiritual energy to increase their cultivation in the first place.
The Gale Sparrow that had stayed in the Pet Storage Space for this long had absorbed large amounts of spiritual energy and in the end, it had even evolved which was what was happening right now.
This bright glow around the Gale Sparrow was a sign of its evolution.
At the same time, the flow of spiritual energy inside of this Pet Storage Space was strange which was what caught Lin Fan’s attention in the first place.
It was as if there was a powerful vortex coming from where the Gale Sparrow was, drawing in all the surrounding spiritual energy.
Lin Fan didn’t do anything to stop it and just continued watching.
Finally, after a few minutes, the bright light around the Gale Sparrow started fading.
A few more minutes later, the bright light stopped and the Gale Sparrow suddenly stood up.
Seeing that Lin Fan was here, the Gale Sparrow flew over to where he was and just flapped its wings in the air there. Judging by the way that it looked, it was as if it was asking to be praised.
Lin Fan didn’t respond to this at first as he looked at the Gale Sparrow with his Appraisal Eyes.
He found that even though the Gale Sparrow had evolved, it hadn’t actually changed its species.
According to the Appraisal Eyes, the Gale Sparrow was still a Gale Sparrow.
However, it was now showing that there was the word variant beside its species.
It had evolved just like the Flame Salamander, Igneel had.
But at the same time, it was also different.
Unlike the Flame Salamander, Igneel, it didn’t gain anything special like the dragon’s bloodline.
Instead, the Gale Sparrow had become a variant of the Gale Sparrow race that could now use light attributed spiritual energy.
There were many different abilities that it had gained because of this evolution and all of them involved using light energy, even though the Gale Sparrow should have been a spirit beast that used wind spiritual energy.
Lin Fan couldn’t help looking at the Gale Sparrow with a strange look after seeing this since he couldn’t understand why the Gale Sparrow would suddenly develop light attributed skills. But still, since it had evolved, it was certain to become stronger.
No, it was already stronger since after evolving, it now had attack skills.
Before this, the Gale Sparrow only had the ability to move fast and didn’t have any attack power at all. But now, it was different after it had evolved and gained these new skills that involved attack skills.
After looking at the Gale Sparrow for a bit, Lin Fan reached his hand out to pat it on the head before saying, “I’ll name you Hikari.”
He had never given the Gale Sparrow a name before since he had thought that he wouldn’t keep it for long. However, now that it had evolved, he had no plans of letting it go.
The Gale Sparrow, Hikari just nuzzled against Lin Fan’s hand after receiving this name.
