Cultivation Pet Shop

When he said this, both Qiao Yi Fei and Lin Fan revealed shocked looks.

Neither of them could believe that old man Qiao would actually agree to this request because no matter how one looked at it, it was quite the excessive request.

Maybe if Lin Fan had offered some kind of condition, that would have been easier to accept. After all, Lin Fan had deliberately not offered any conditions because there were no conditions that he could offer. He wanted to see if it was possible to get it for free.

After a moment of being surprised, Lin Fan then said, "I'm setting up a new shop, so I won't just be borrowing the store."

Old man Qiao gave a laugh before saying, "Of course, I'm giving you the store. What, you don't want it now?"

Lin Fan then awkwardly said, "I don't really have any money to pay for it."

Old man Qiao waved his hand and said, "Just take it. It's not like I'm using it anyway, so you might as well take it and use it."

Lin Fan didn't know what to say in response to this, but there was one thing that was certain, he was definitely moved by this. This was a store that would be worth quite a bit and was definitely not something that one could buy with just status.

It could be seen how much kindness old man Qiao was showing Lin Fan just with this gesture.

As Lin Fan thought of the reason for this, he slowly turned to look at Qiao Yi Fei who had a shocked look on her face. But then seeing Lin Fan look over, she immediately glared at him with a cold look since she had also come to the same conclusion that he had come to.

Lin Fan revealed an awkward look since he didn't want to accept the store if it was under these conditions. Not to mention that there was a death glare that poked him right in the back, putting so much pressure that it made it hard for him to breathe.

But there was no other choice right now since there was no other way for him to get a store like this.

So in the end, Lin Fan cupped his hands as he said with an awkward smile, "Senior, thank you for your kindness. I will take this store."

Old man Qiao gave a nod before saying, "Very good. I'll have someone send the deed to the store over to Xiao Fei Fei and you can come pick it up from her."

His words made his intentions even more clear, but they also made it clear that this meeting was over.

Lin Fan didn't mind since this created an awkward atmosphere, so he wanted to leave as well. Not to mention that old man Qiao was a hunter with Two Stars, one of the top hunters of the Hunters Organization, so he didn't have as much free time as he made it seem right now.

Lin Fan once again cupped his hand and gave a slight bow before leaving the room.

When Lin Fan's group left, there were only Qiao Yi Fei and old man Qiao who were left in the room.

Neither one of them said anything as Qiao Yi Fei looked at her grandfather while old man Qiao was thinking about something while tapping his finger on the table. This lasted for another five minutes before finally Qiao Yi Fei couldn't take it anymore and spoke.

Qiao Yi Fei asked in an anxious voice, "Grandfather, do you have a fever or something?"

Old man Qiao heard this and revealed a smile as he turned to ask, "What's wrong Xiao Fei Fei, do you think that I look sick?"

Qiao Yi Fei shook her head, but then she also said, "Well you don't seem sick, but you're acting like it. Why would you just give him that shop for free? You know how much that shop is worth and what kind of meaning it has, but you just gave it to him to turn into a pet training shop. That just doesn't make sense no matter how you think about it."

Old man Qiao said with the same smile, "Maybe it's because I'm looking out for you."

Qiao Yi Fei's face turned red before she revealed an aggrieved look and said, "Grandfather, I've already told you that I'm not interested in him. Rather, I'm more interested in the white haired one, my Diabolis. If you loved me, you would help me."

Old man Qiao's smile disappeared when he heard this. He was silent for a bit before saying, "That one's no good."

Qiao Yi Fei's expression became even more aggrieved as she pouted her lips and said, "Why? Why is he no good?"

Old man Qiao revealed a serious look and said, "It's best if you forget about him. That person is nothing but trouble, both for you and our family."

Qiao Yi Fei once again said with pouted lips, "You only care about the family, you don't care about what I feel at all."

Old man Qiao gave a sigh and said, "It's not what you think, he's much more dangerous than you know. However, that also isn't the reason why I gave him the store. It's something completely different."

Qiao Yi Fei had been planning on trying to guilt her grandfather even more, but then she heard the second half of what he said and swallowed her words back down. Seeing the look on her grandfather's face, she didn't know what to say at first. However, after thinking about it, she said, "Grandfather, is something wrong?"

Old man Qiao shook his head and said, "Don't worry about it. You just need to know that there's another reason why I gave him the store and it isn't related to getting him to marry you at all."

Qiao Yi Fei still couldn't shake the feeling that something was off, so she kept asking, "But what is it then? Why can't you tell me?"

Once again, old man Qiao revealed a serious look and said, "This is something that's decided by many important people, it isn't something that you can get yourself involved in. This is much more dangerous than you think."

Qiao Yi Fei was once again surprised by her grandfather. This was the same rare serious look that she almost never saw, but today she saw it twice. It seemed like it indeed involved something quite serious that her grandfather couldn't tell her about.

However, seeing as that was the case, she felt even more curious as to what it was.

Old man Qiao giving Lin Fan the store really wasn't related to Qiao Yi Fei at all, rather this was something that was decided on by the Hunters Organization. The Hunters Organization would repay old man Qiao for the store, so he wasn't suffering a loss at all.

Before even coming to this meeting today, old man Qiao had already decided to give Lin Fan this store. The only thing he was worried about was how to get Lin Fan to accept the store.

However, he never thought that Lin Fan would be this direct and shameless about this store. He even asked him right to his face if he could have this store for free.

Old man Qiao had already known that Lin Fan needed a store since he had already checked up on Lin Fan. Rather, he had known about the Xu Family looking for a store and knowing the relationship between Lin Fan and the Xu Family, he knew that it was naturally related to Lin Fan.

Once this was known, the Hunters Organization's higher ups immediately agreed to this plan of giving this store to Lin Fan.

There were two main reasons for this.

One was that this would be considered compensation to Lin Fan for using him as bait for Shi Yan.

Even if he didn't know what was happening, they should still provide some kind of compensation to him since this would inconvenience him. That was the minimum that they should do since they were using him without his permission.

The second reason was because they wanted to keep him in a place where it would be easy to monitor him. After all, they needed to protect him while also being able to make a move on Shi Yan when he showed himself. If Lin Fan were to run all around like most hunters did after getting their license, it wouldn't be good for them since they would have to devote manpower just to follow him around.

It was better for them if he were to stay in one place where they had a branch so they could just deploy people to watch that place where he was staying instead of having to send people to follow him around.

Now that Lin Fan had accepted this store, it would make their jobs much easier.

Of course, old man Qiao had been against this plan in the first place since he didn't want to use Lin Fan as bait. He knew that the experts of the Hunters Organization were strong, but if an accident were to happen and something did happen to Lin Fan, it would already be too late to regret it.

After all, he was still hoping that Lin Fan would become his grandson in law and lead their Qiao Family in the next generation.

Still, there was nothing that could be done since he alone wasn't able to oppose the entire Hunters Organization on this decision, not to mention Old Mao. Once that old woman set her mind to something, no one could make her change her mind…

Since that was the case, he could only assign a few of his personal guards to watching over Lin Fan as well.
