Both Qiao Yi Fei and Huang Gan were surprised by Lin Fan's decision, but Huang Gan didn't dwell on it for too long.

He was a shrewd old man and he didn't have a problem with adapting to the situation.

He had to admit that he had been too direct with his approach this time and it would come off as suspicious, it made sense that Lin Fan would want to bring along someone that he could trust. Not to mention that with Qiao Yi Fei's status, even the Tamers Guild would hesitate to move against her, which was another layer of protection.

Huang Gan turned to Qiao Yi Fei and stroked his chin as he thought, "It seems like Old Qiao really is going all out this time. He's even trying to set up Xiao Yi Fei with this kid. Everyone in our circle knows how much he cares about Xiao Yi Fei…"

Qiao Yi Fei took a bit longer to react, but she still nodded in the end.

With this settled, the three of them headed out from Lin Fan's store after he closed up.

Lin Fan didn't have a problem closing up early since there was no one in his store other than the spies. The only reason he didn't close early before was because he didn't have anything better to do, but now that he did, there was no hesitation in closing the store early.

Huang Gan had come in his own beast carriage, but so had Qiao Yi Fei, so Lin Fan and Qiao Yi Fei took her beast carriage while Huang Gan took his.

Once they set off, Lin Fan suddenly asked Qiao Yi Fei, "Who is that old man?"

Qiao Yi Fei hesitated a bit before saying, "He's one of the two vice president of the Tamers Guild and a Grandmaster Trainer."

Lin Fan then asked, "How do you know him?"

Qiao Yi Fei answered without hesitation this time, "He's an old friend of my grandfather."

Lin Fan finally revealed a serious look as he asked, "Can he be trusted?"

Qiao Yi Fei nodded without any hesitation, "He's one of the few friends that my grandfather has, he can be trusted."

After this, the beast carriage fell into silence as neither of them said a thing.

It didn't take long for them to reach the Tamers Guild branch in Harmony City.

Unlike the Hunters Organization which weeded out weaker people through the Seekers Union, the Tamers Guild only had a single organization and welcomed all Monster Trainers to join. The only requirement needed to join the Tamers Guild was a simple Monster Trainer Exam which graded Monster Trainers.

So instead of calling it a faction, it was more of a trade skill union.

As soon as they came through the doors, there were many people who saw Huang Gan and immediately came over.

"Vice president Huang, the Zephyr Lingzhi you requested has arrived and I've put it in your lab for you."

"Vice president Huang, can you help me take a look at my Wave Bear? I followed all the steps in the book, but it still won't learn the Surging Tide Skill."

"Vice president Huang, I saw that article about you! You really are something else!"

"Vice president Huang, please take a picture with me!"

The person who said that last sentence wasn't a young girl, but rather a grandma who seemed to be in her late seventies…

"It seems like this Huang Gan is quite a popular person and he seems to treat everyone fairly." Lin Fan thought to himself as he watched Huang Gan answer each person who came up to him.

After ten minutes, there were actually more people that gathered around Huang Gan than when they came in, but it wasn't as if he could keep answering them.

Huang Gan raised his hands and said, "Everyone, I have some other matters to take care of, so please excuse me. If you need me, please come to my office hours tomorrow."

No one revealed a disappointed look since they knew that they were the ones that were taking up Huang Gan's time. He was the vice president of the Tamers Guild, this was a position that meant that he was under only one in the entire Tamers Guild, so there must be plenty of things that he had to take care of as well.

However, it showed what kind of good person Huang Gan was if he was willing to take time out of his busy schedule to talk to each of them.

Naturally they didn't expect to be able to take up more of his time.

All of them immediately cleared a path for Huang Gan the moment he said this and they all did it with a smile.

Seeing the path created, Huang Gan turned back to Lin Fan and Qiao Yi Fei to say with an inviting gesture, "Shall we?"

Lin Fan nodded before following him with Qiao Yi Fei silently following behind him.

As they moved through the crowd, he could hear whispers coming from around him. Most of them were asking about who he was, but there were a few that were commenting on how handsome he was…

"Wow, who is that man following the vice president? He's so handsome!"

"I wouldn't mind warming his bed if he were to ask."

"Keep dreaming, have you even looked at yourself in the mirror?"

As for who whispered these, most of them were old ladies in their late seventies and eighties…

Qiao Yi Fei saw all this and leaned in a bit to whisper, "How does it feel to be admired?"

Lin Fan could clearly hear the slight teasing tone that was in Qiao Yi Fei's voice, so his face turned a bit dark, but he didn't say anything in response to this.

The group of three made their way through the Tamers Guild until they came to this separate reception desk that was on the side of the main hall.

This was a place with only two receptionists unlike the main area which had a board filled with requests and many different receptionists waiting to serve all the Monster Trainers that were taking requests.

This was the desk for those that wanted to take the Monster Trainer Exam and it was much less populated since these exams were only a one time thing, so there weren't as many people to serve compared to the mission board area.

As they came up, there was another group that also arrived in this area. It was a group of two, an old man and a young man who also came up to the desk.

The two sides met right before they came up to the reception desk.

As they stood there staring at the other side, Lin Fan could clearly see a hostile look that flashed on the faces of the two old men before they both revealed smiles.

He also noted that the young man on the other side hadn't looked at him once, he had been staring at Qiao Yi Fei the entire time.

As for how to describe his expression, the best way to describe it would have been a lovesick puppy.

The old man on the other side was the first one to speak as he said with a smile, "Old Huang, what a coincidence running into you here. Are you also bringing someone over to take the Monster Trainer Exam?"

Huang Gan replied, "Old Bai, it really is a coincidence. That's right, I'm bringing a talented young man to take the exam. What about you? Are you doing the same?"

As both of them said this, they looked over the young man that the other brought before turning back to look at each other with smiles.

As the two of them "chatted", the young man on the other side came over to where Lin Fan and Qiao Yi Fei were standing. Without even sparing a glance to Lin Fan, he walked right up to Qiao Yi Fei and said, "Fei Fei, why didn't you tell me that you were coming today? We could have come together if you told me."

Qiao Yi Fei looked at him before turning her head with a cold snort.

The young man didn't mind as he said, "Fei Fei, I found this great restaurant the other day. Once I pass this exam, how about we go and have lunch together?"

Qiao Yi Fei coldly looked at him again before turning around with a cold snort and walking behind Lin Fan, placing Lin Fan between her and this young man.

It was only then that the young man looked at Lin Fan and the way he looked at him definitely wasn't kind. It was clear that he had bad intentions.

After glaring at Lin Fan for a bit, the young man asked, "Who are you? Why are you with Fei Fei?"

Lin Fan revealed a bitter smile at this since it was very clear what was happening.

He looked at Qiao Yi Fei with that bitter smile, but she turned her head away and wouldn't look at him.

After turning back to the young man, he gave a sigh and said, "I'm no one and I'm just passing by."

The young man narrowed his eyes before saying in an aggressive voice, "Then scram for this young master right now."

Lin Fan didn't seem bothered by this as he revealed a smile, but his words painted a different story, "The lady isn't interested, I think even a boar like you can see that. How about you scram for me instead?"
