Cultivation Pet Shop

The days passed quickly and soon it was time for the meeting set by the Thunder Sect, the True Spirit Sect, and the Assassins Association.

During this time, the representatives from nine of the twelve great factions had been in Lin Fan's store a lot.

They were waiting for the items that Lin Fan's "master" promised them.

To Lin Fan's surprise, he found that they had not only sent Nascent Soul Realm Experts, they had also sent a True Soul Realm Expert in the form of old man Qiao.

Old man Qiao had spent most of his time in the store during this period and every time he came, he always dragged Qiao Yi Fei with him.

Whenever he saw that Lin Fan had free time, he always dragged Qiao Yi Fei over and tried to get the two of them together.

It seemed like he still hadn't given up on his plan on getting the two married.

However, whenever it happened, he would always feel a chill run down his spine. That chill came from Angela's cold gaze that had pierced through him whenever he tried to push Qiao Yi Fei onto Lin Fan.

Lin Fan who watched all this just had a bitter smile on his face.

To his surprise though, Qiao Yi Fei just followed her grandfather. Instead of in the past when she kept running to Momonga, she just meekly followed her grandfather whenever he tried to get the two of them together.

It wasn't that Momonga wasn't there, he had been sitting in the corner playing chess with Brainy as usual. It was just that it seemed like Qiao Yi Fei was ignoring Momonga now.

Lin Fan couldn't help thinking, "Could it be that something happened between the two of them?"

But he couldn't just ask this, so he kept it deep in his mind.

During the time that Qiao Yi Fei had been in the store, Mao Tao and Murong Yue also came over.

Mao Tao's reason for coming was clear and she did her best to come in between Lin Fan and Qiao Yi Fei, but Murong Yue coming to the store was a surprise to Lin Fan. He knew that she was certainly busy with her position in the Hunters Organization, so he was surprised that she even had time to come here.

When he asked her about this, she said that she had been reassigned to the store to watch over him.

Lin Fan was surprised to hear this, but he could accept this since he already knew how important he was to the Mercenary Guild. However, there was still one thing that confused him.

Wasn't that the same reason that old man Qiao was here?

If there was already a True Soul Realm Expert here, what use was it for Murong Yue to come here?

Still, it wasn't his place to question what the Mercenary Guild was thinking, so he just accepted this situation for what it was.

But of course, Angela wasn't happy about any of it.

What Lin Fan didn't know was that Murong Yue had told a half lie about this.

She was indeed assigned here, but what she didn't tell him was that this was after she had insisted on being assigned here. She had even brought her grandfather who was one of the Nascent Soul Realm Experts of the Hunters Organization to back her up.

However, when it was time to go to the meeting, Lin Fan and old man Qiao wouldn't bring any of the girls even if they insisted on going.

Their cultivation had increased, with all of them reaching the Child Soul Realm, but it was still too dangerous for them.

Even if they were much stronger, this was a meeting between the upper echelon of the entire Galactic Humanity Alliance. There would even be True Soul Realm Experts attending this meeting, so there was nothing that they could do in the Child Soul Realm.

Of course, Lin Fan was an abnormality since he had that pseudo domain that his pets gave him, so he was able to attend without any worries.

When they headed off, the girls all had sad looks on their faces.

They still remembered when they first met Lin Fan and he was still only in the Fragmented Soul Realm. He had been much weaker than any of them, it would have only taken a single finger for them to take care of Lin Fan, but now he had shot ahead of them in terms of cultivation.

Not to mention his combat power, it was something that they couldn't compare to at all.

So they could only feel regret that they weren't able to help him.

It was almost as if he would be out of reach for them soon...

Lin Fan headed off to the location set by the True Spirit Sect, the Thunder Sect, and the Assassins Association with an escort from the other nine great factions.

It wasn't an exaggeration to say that the lineup for this escort was quite stacked.

After all, just in terms of True Soul Realm Experts, there were two of them accompanying him.

One of them was naturally old man Qiao who had been with him when he set off from the store. The other one was One Sword from the Myriad Sword Hall, who was also Wang Jian's master.

He came to Lin Fan's store with Wang Jian early in the morning and they set off together when they headed out.

Old man Qiao was surprised to see One Sword, but it didn't take long before he understood why he came.

It wasn't for Lin Fan as one would think, but rather for Lin Ao.

Lin Ao wasn't that famous back then, but he did have fame among sword cultivators. He was regarded as one of the sword cultivators that had the greatest potential and One Sword had taken note.

One Sword had wanted to take Lin Ao as a disciple and had favoured him very much, but it was just too bad that the True Spirit Sect got to him before he could.

He regretted what had happened to Lin Ao, so when he heard that Lin Ao was back in the Galactic Humanity Alliance, he immediately tried to find out more about him. He was surprised to find that Lin Fan was his son, but he also acknowledged this since he had seen Lin Fan's talent for sword cultivation.

Only someone like Lin Ao could have a son that was as talented as this, there was no doubt about that.

He had come to see Lin Ao and to see if he could take him as a disciple again, but he was disappointed to find that Lin Ao wasn't at Lin Fan's store.

Lin Ao, Yue Qingrou, and Lin Xue had been placed in a safe place by Lin Fan since he didn't know what had happened. They weren't willing to go at first, but after Lin Fan showed Lin Ao his new cultivation, Lin Ao accepted Lin Fan's arrangements. Once Lin Ao accepted his arrangements, the women accepted it as well.

After all, without Lin Ao, they really couldn't stop Lin Fan from forcefully putting them in a safe place.

After seeing his new cultivation, they all knew that this was far beyond the level of just going against the Yue and Liao Families. This was an event that involved the entirety of the Galactic Humanity Alliance.

When One Sword arrived, Lin Fan was surprised to find that Wang Jian was also there.

But he immediately understood why One Sword had brought Wang Jian.

Wang Jian was the most talented member of the younger generation and he had received the benefits of the Ancient Era Ruins, so it wasn't surprising for Lin Fan to find that he was already in the Nascent Soul Realm.

Wang Jian on the other hand had a bitter look on his face when he saw Lin Fan.

He had thought that he would surpass Lin Fan after reaching the Nascent Soul Realm, but then he heard about everything that Lin Fan had been up to during this time.

Not only had he been able to fight those in the True Soul Realm while in the Child Soul Realm, he was also in the Nascent Soul Realm now and had fought an established Nascent Soul Realm Expert like He Wuji.

There was no doubt that if the two of them fought, he would be the one that lost.

Ever since he had met Lin Fan, he had felt that he would never be able to beat him. Right when he gained a bit of confidence, Lin Fan took it away from him right away.

Still, that didn't discourage him as he knew that if he worked hard, he would have a chance to surpass Lin Fan one day. He still had that confidence after he had dealt with his heart demon.

So just like this, their group headed off to the location that had been set.

When they arrived, they found that it wasn't just two True Soul Realm Experts that had come. Almost all of the True Soul Realm Experts of the twelve great factions were here.

Along with the ones sent to escort Lin Fan, adding up all the Nascent Soul Realm Experts that were here, it almost accounted for most of the Nascent Soul Realm Experts in this Galactic Humanity Alliance.

It seemed like the twelve great factions were completely ready for war and they were expecting it to happen at this meeting.

But to their surprise, they found that the situation wasn't as they had expected.
