The fourth prince?
Why was it the fourth prince again?
Could it be that the fourth prince had found new information and wanted to pass it to him?
No, it couldn’t be that since if it was, there was no reason for the fourth prince himself to stay in the Dungeon City. The only reason that the fourth prince would stay there himself was if he had discovered something very important…
Could it be that he knew that Mu Bao Bao had been hiding with him?
If that were the case, the situation was much worse than he had expected.
The last thing that he wanted to do was be dragged into this succession matter. At the same time, he just wanted to develop his Dungeon City and slowly grow his power.
But now it seemed that it was impossible…
Mu Bao Bao could also guess what the situation was, so she had a dark look on her face.
She looked at me with that dark look for a while before finally saying, “You should leave me here and let me go into hiding.”
I immediately shook my head and denied this before flicking her on the forehead, “Silly girl, what are you thinking? Even if that was the last resort, I wouldn’t be willing to accept something like this. Not to mention that we still have plenty of other options to try first before then.”
Then my voice turned serious as I said, “Don’t even think about this again in the future, alright?”
Mu Bao Bao’s eyes warmed up and her face turned a bit red before she gave a small ‘un’.
At the same time, Senior Sister Bing came forward to hug Mu Bao Bao to comfort her.
She knew everything that Mu Bao Bao faced after Mu Bao Bao told her everything, so she knew how much stress Mu Bao Bao was under.
At the same time, she felt pained for Mu Bao Bao because…she knew just how hard it was to do what she had just said. After all, she had been in hiding all of these years because she had wanted to protect the Love Sect.
But that didn’t mean that she had a good time.
She knew just how hard it was to really hide out in the wilderness like this, so she didn’t wish that onto Mu Bao Bao.
If there was a choice, she wouldn’t want to see Mu Bao Bao forced into doing this.
Since there was nothing that they could figure out like this, the only thing that they could do now was return.
This was the perfect opportunity too since they had reached a dead end.
If the fourth prince knew something…perhaps they could find some other clues to chase.
Of course, that was after they had dealt with the fourth prince and what he was planning on doing.𝑜𝔳𝓵xt.𝗰𝐎𝓂
With this settled, they didn’t waste any time.
The next morning, they immediately set off in their carriage, but once they were far enough, Lin Fan called out Igneel and had him carry them back to their Dungeon City.
But of course, they were very far away from their Dungeon City, almost being on the exact opposite side of it.
Even taking Igneel who could fly over the land, it took them close to a week to reach the Dungeon City.
When they arrived, Lin Fan immediately landed far away from the city itself before casting the illusion spell on them.
With their cultivation levels, it wasn’t a problem for them to run this distance on their own.
But before he understood what the fourth prince was here for, Lin Fan didn’t want anyone finding out that he was here. He wanted to use this illusion spell to sneak into the city.
If it was any other city, it would be a problem.
But since this was his own city, then he was fully in his right to do whatever he wanted here.
The guards didn’t even notice the three of them as they made their way into the city.
Once they were in the city, the first thing that Lin Fan wanted to do was find Yue Lan.
She was the one that had sent the letter, so he was certain that she would have more information for him on this matter.
But Yue Lan was a very busy person, so it was hard for him to find her in the first place.
Luckily, he found Yue Lan in the first place that he checked.
Yue Lan was currently working in his manor and there was no one around, so he immediately revealed himself.
The moment that he appeared in front of her, Yue Lan couldn’t help jumping because she had been caught off guard by this.
Then she looked carefully at him standing there and she couldn’t help giving a sigh before muttering, “It seems like I miss him so much that I’m even hallucinating.”
When Lin Fan heard this, he couldn’t help revealing a faint smile before saying, “Why don’t you try touching him and seeing if it’s a hallucination or not.”
Yue Lan’s mouth couldn’t help dropping when she heard this before she slowly stood up and walked over to where Lin Fan was standing. Then she raised her hand up and slowly reached it out to poke at him.
When she felt her finger making contact, she couldn’t help being even more shocked.
She quickly moved all around Lin Fan and looked all over his body before turning to his lower half.
She couldn’t help looking in between her legs because…it had been a long time since she had done ‘that’.
Even if she tried to use her hand or other things, it just wasn’t enough for her since she had already been molded into his shape.
Anything that wasn’t the same shape just wasn’t enough for her…
So even if this was an illusion…she was willing to try it.
But there was a cough that came from the side of the room when she was about to move towards Lin Fan’s lower half.
When she heard this cough, she turned to see that Mu Bao Bao and a stranger were standing there.
After staring at the two of them in a daze for a bit, Yue Lan realized that this wasn’t an illusion that she was seeing and that it was the real thing standing in front of her.
There was an awkward look on her face, but she quickly gave a cough to calm herself down before saying, “You’re back.”
Lin Fan couldn’t help revealing a smile seeing her act this way and he came forward to reach his arms around her.
Yue Lan was caught off guard by this, but she didn’t resist at all as she allowed him to take her in his arms.
As she was in his arms, she couldn’t help letting herself enjoy the feeling of him holding her like this. It had been too long since she had felt this sensation and she had missed it very much.
Neither Mu Bao Bao or Senior Sister Bing said anything since they knew how she felt.
They had been lucky that they were able to go with him, but if they hadn’t been able to go with Lin Fan on this trip, then they would have done the same thing as her.
After a long period of silence, Yue Lan finally moved out of Lin Fan’s embrace with an embarrassed look on her face.
After all, this was not the usual way that she acted, so she couldn’t help feeling embarrassed.
But it was a good thing that she was a very serious and dedicated person, so she was able to switch gears very quickly.
With a cough, she calmed herself down and revealed a serious expression.
The first thing that she did after calming down was turn to look at Senior Sister Bing and ask, “This person is?”
It wasn’t that she was singling Senior Sister Bing out on purpose, but rather because she had an actual concern about her being here.
What they were about to discuss was sensitive information, so she couldn’t just let anyone know this. Especially someone that she didn’t recognize at all who had appeared out of nowhere.
She even doubted why Lin Fan had brought her here in the first place.
Mu Bao Bao was about to say something, but Lin Fan just raised his hand to stop her before saying, “She’s someone that we can trust.”
Yue Lan looked into Lin Fan’s eyes and stared at them for a bit before giving a nod.
Without any hesitation, she turned and picked up a few folders from her desk. She then brought these folders over and handed them to Lin Fan to read.
This was the trust that she had in Lin Fan.
As long as he was willing to vouch for a person, then that person would have her trust.
Lin Fan took them and quickly read through them.
As he read them, he couldn’t help knitting his brows more and more.
Once he was done, he asked, “Is this all the information that you have?”
Yue Lan just gave a simple nod in return before letting out a sigh.
Hearing this, Lin Fan knew that she must have faced her own difficulties while he was away. So he reached his hand out and patted her on the head.
Yue Lan was once again caught off guard by this, but there was a happy smile that appeared on her face as she let him do this.
After thinking for a bit, Lin Fan said, “Gather everyone and let’s discuss what to do about this.”
