Since they now had clues to follow up on, Lin Fan felt it was a waste to just stay in the room.
Since it was also night time, that meant that there was a perfect place for them to go.
Now it was all about choosing the right one.
So he went down to the counter of the inn and asked the innkeeper about where to go.
After receiving directions from the innkeeper, Lin Fan brought Mu Bao Bao to…a bar.
This was a bar that was frequented by many different kinds of people since it was one of the biggest bars in the city.
As for why Lin Fan had come to this bar, it wasn’t to get a drink.
As a place that sold alcohol and got people intoxicated, it was a place where lips became loose and spilled more information that people would normally give. So this was the best place for him to collect information without being noticed.
When they came in, they found that the bar was completely filled with people.
But at the same time, they could feel the powerful spiritual energy fluctuations coming from within.𝒩𝑶𝒱𝓵xt.𝓬𝗈𝗆
Just a simple glance was enough for them to see that there were plenty of cultivators who were currently drinking here.
These cultivators had already removed their cloaks and were just sitting there naturally without a single care that others knew they were cultivators. In fact, it was almost as if they were showing off the fact that they were cultivators to everyone here.
Lin Fan narrowed his eyes to look at them and he could easily guess what they were doing.
The people here were most likely here to participate in the tournament, so they were trying to scare off the others that were also here. They were trying to make a show of their power before the tournament began to cut down the competition.
That was why they were wearing all those shiny robes.
It was almost as if they wanted people to look at them.
Judging by the whispers that he heard around him, it was clear that these cultivators were ones that people recognized.
They were the seeded contestants that everyone thought would win.
First, there was Tai Yang from the Clear Sun Sect.
It was said that his attainment with the Clear Sun Technique was so great that he was able to summon suns in his hands when using this technique. These suns were so powerful that they could melt through anything that they touched, even humans.
Next there was He Yong from the Freezing River Sect.
It was said with his skills in the Freezing River Sword Art, every slice that he made could freeze whatever he cut. It was said that the ice that he created was so dense that even the strongest flames couldn’t melt them.
Then there was Mo Tie from the Iron Demon Sect.
Even though he was from a demonic sect, he was still someone who was very popular among the people of the bar.
He was very skilled in the Iron Demon Art which would transform his body into iron and allow him to fight like a demon. He was said to have rampaged for one hundred and eight days in one of his berserk states and crushed two small sects by himself.
These were the most popular contestants that everyone discussed and the ones that everyone speculated would win the tournament.
However, in Lin Fan’s eyes, he didn’t feel that these three were the most popular.
That was because he could see people who were sitting in the corner that seemed…more powerful than these three. It was just that they were keeping a low profile that they didn’t raise as much noise as these three.
Regardless of what the rumours were, Lin Fan didn’t care about them in the end.
His only real goal was to find the one who had started this tournament.
So without hesitation, he sent out Greeny’s puppets to listen to the surrounding area.
Once again, he was able to hear many rumours about the tournament. The most popular one was still the speculated prize that would be given to the winner.
Just like the report that Yi Lei had given him, there were all kinds of rumours as to what the prize would be, but they all had one thing in common which was that it was all related to the Love Sect.
There really weren’t many rumours that he didn’t know that were being discussed here.
The few rumours that he hadn’t heard already…weren’t even related to the tournament and were related to other things.
These were rumours about ferocious spirit beasts around the city or different things about the city that were unrelated to the tournament.
So Lin Fan just ignored all of these rumours.
During this time, the alcohol that they had ordered had arrived.
Normally, Mu Bao Bao wouldn’t drink alcohol since she didn’t like the way that it smelled, but since they were trying to blend into the bar, she had no choice in this matter.
When the alcohol arrived, she pulled her cup in front of her and slowly brought it up so that she could take a sip of the alcohol.
However, with just a single sip, she couldn’t drink anymore.
The cup just stayed there for a few seconds before falling onto the table and spilling the alcohol.
Lin Fan who had been focused on listening to the rumours around them couldn’t help being surprised when he heard this. He looked up to look at Mu Bao Bao and seeing how she swayed a little, he couldn’t help asking, “Are you alright?”
Mu Bao Bao didn’t answer at first, but then she suddenly gave a hiccup.
Lin Fan couldn’t help being surprised when he heard this as he had an idea as to what it was that had happened to her. However, she had only taken a tiny sip of the alcohol, so why did it happen to her?
As he expected, she suddenly started giggling after hearing this and she stood up to walk over to where he was before hugging her.
Then she said, “I love you, you know that? I really do love you.”
Lin Fan just revealed an awkward smile when he heard this, but he still held her properly so that she wouldn’t fall over.
With the loud sound that she made, she attracted the attention of many people around them. However, when they saw how she was acting, they just revealed knowing smiles before going back to their own drinks.
Lin Fan just awkwardly held Mu Bao Bao and tried to get her back into her seat, but no matter what he did, she just wouldn’t sit back down. She kept grabbing at his body and wanted to press up against him.
But then she suddenly realized a problem and looked down at her own body.
Without hesitation, the hands that had been grabbing at him were removed from his body and started grabbing at the cloak that was on her own body. As she grabbed at it, she started saying, “This is so stuffy, I want to take it off.”
Lin Fan immediately started to panic when he saw this.
Without hesitation, he went forward to grab her hands and stopped her from pulling at her own cloak, but in the end, he was weaker than her. So even as he grabbed her hands, it was hard for him to stop her from pulling at the cloak.
Seeing this, he had no choice but to move forward and…blow on her ears.
That was her weak spot, her ears were sensitive.
When she felt him blowing on her ears, she couldn’t help giving a moan as the strength left her body.
This moan was heard by the people around and they couldn’t help turning to look at Lin Fan and Mu Bao Bao.
Lin Fan knew that he had attracted more attention than he wanted, so he whispered in Mu Bao Bao’s ears, “Be good and let’s go home.”
Mu Bao Bao froze when she heard this, but then she raised her arms out like she wanted to be carried as she said, “Pick me up.”
Lin Fan shook his head when he saw this, but he still obliged and picked her up so that she was riding piggyback on him.
He left more than enough money on the table to pay for what they had ordered and then he walked out of the bar with Mu Bao Bao on his back.
They had come to this bar to get information, but he never thought that they would be leaving so quickly…He never thought that Mu Bao Bao would have such a low tolerance.
eαglesnᴏνel But he had no way of knowing this before since Mu Bao Bao never drank alcohol.
She didn’t like the way that it smelled, so she had never gone near the stuff before. Now it seemed that there was another reason why she shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near that stuff.
It seemed that he would need to be careful not to let Mu Bao Bao touch any alcohol in the future or else…it really would be a disaster.
As he carried her on a piggyback ride, Mu Bao Bao’s hands were wandering around on his body…
She really became a demon after she became drunk.
Lin Fan just had a wry smile on his face as he carried her out.
But as they were leaving, he suddenly heard something that caught his attention.
