A few weeks later, Lin Fan's group were now entering Stirring Sands City.

This place was in the middle of the desert, so it was burning hot as the sun shined down on them from above.

However, it was a good thing that they had met Senior Sister Bing since it was cool standing beside her.

She had a natural chilling aura around her that dropped the surrounding temperature, which made it very comfortable standing by her.

There were people that stared at Senior Sister Bing when they felt this chill, but they didn't do anything to her. After all, anyone that was strong enough to affect the area around them was clearly a powerful cultivator, so no one was foolish enough to court death by trying to figure out more about her.

As for the reason why they were here in Stirring Sands City, it was because they had received a clue from Yue Lan.

Even though they had already decided not to contact the Royal Style Stores in the various cities, that didn't mean that there wasn't an emergency contact system that had been in place. It was through this system that Yue Lan had contacted Lin Fan.

As soon as he saw the message that Yue Lan had for him, Lin Fan couldn't help knitting his brows.

That was because this was about information that directly came from the fourth prince.

"The fourth prince has sent us information that 'Mu Bao Hua' has been spotted in Stirring Sands City. He wants you to follow this rumour and see if you can find her."

Lin Fan knew that it was impossible for 'Mu Bao Hua' to be in Stirring Sands City since Mu Bao Bao was with him. So he knew that this meant that the rumour that had been started there was most likely a plot by those that wanted to find her.

They spread this rumour to see if they could draw in the real one, as well as pull in those that wanted to find 'Mu Bao Hua', so that they could take care of the ones that wanted to help her and leave those that wanted to hurt her.

Knowing this, Lin Fan knew that it would be dangerous for them to head to Stirring Sands City.

But looking at it from another perspective, this also meant an opportunity.

The people that were looking for her, the ones that had hostile intentions towards her, they had deeply hidden themselves. If they wanted to find them with no clues at all, it would be close to impossible.

With this rumour, it meant that they would at least have a place to catch these people.

Lin Fan recognized the dangers of this, but he also felt that the benefits outweighed the danger since this was a rare opportunity.

Which was why they had come to this Stirring Sands City.

They had originally gone to another city named Jade Pearl City which was where their Mercenary Guild request was for.

But as soon as they received the message from Yue Lan, they finished off the request and rushed to Stirring Sands City.

When they arrived at Stirring Sands City, with the cold chill that Senior Sister Bing released, they had been allowed in quickly. Even the guards of the city weren't foolish enough to mess with a powerful cultivator.

They knew that even if they did anything, they wouldn't be able to stop them.

So it was better to just let them pass since it was very likely that they were related to a powerful organization.

It was far beyond their pay grade.

When they arrived in the city, it wasn't as if they could just start asking around about the rumours about 'Mu Bao Hua'. After all, the moment that they did, it would expose the fact that they were looking for her.

Those that were exposed as people looking for her would without a doubt catch the attention of the enemy.

So all they could do was slowly gather information.

Luckily, that was Lin Fan's specialty. No, it was better to say that this was Greeny's specialty.

With Greeny's puppets, it was easy for Lin Fan to gather information without revealing himself.

Now all he had to do was pick the right location.

The Mercenary Guild and Merchants Guild were all good choices, but it would be too suspicious to go to those places. They didn't want to leave a single trace of them being here, so they wouldn't be able to do that if they went to those places.

After all, going there without a reason and just hanging out was too strange in the first place.

If they did something like this, there was no doubt that they would attract the wrong kind of attention.

So in the end, Lin Fan chose the second best choice.

They went to another bar.

This bar was the biggest bar in the city and even though it was currently the middle of the day, it was packed with people.

With all of these people here, they were able to easily blend into the crowd and find a place to sit. 

After sitting down, Lin Fan released Greeny's puppets all around himself and sent them off to get the information that they wanted.

But to his surprise, he found that Senior Sister Bing was very excited to be in a place like this.

He didn't know why she was like this until she asked, "Can I order some things?"

Lin Fan was confused why she would seem so excited about ordering some dishes from this random bar, but he still gave a nod in the end. After all, he had plenty of money because of Yue Lan…more money that he could spend in this entire lifetime.

He didn't mind if she wanted to order a few dishes.

But when the dishes came, he was surprised by how she acted…

That was because she wouldn't let the two of them have a single bite as she declared that all of these dishes were hers. She then buckled down and finished off all the food on the table, even though she had ordered more than enough for all three of them.

Even after she finished, she looked back up at Lin Fan and asked, "Can I order some more?"

Lin Fan couldn't help looking at her with a strange look when she asked this, but he still gave a nod in response.

Then Senior Sister Bing…ordered enough for three of them again and declared that they were all hers.

With how much she was eating, the people around couldn't help taking notice.

The ones at the nearby tables all looked at Senior Sister Bing with strange looks because they never thought that someone with this kind of slender figure…would be able to eat this much. 

Of course, all of them could feel the chill that was coming from their table, so they didn't provoke them or interact with them.

In the end, they were just left alone.

However, that didn't stop Senior Sister Bing from continuing to eat.

She stuffed this new portion down and then she asked, "Can I have some more?"

Lin Fan really couldn't help wondering if she was a human or a beast with this kind of appetite. Of course, he wouldn't be stingy with her and he nodded to let her order more.

The waiter also couldn't help looking at Senior Sister Bing with a strange look because…she had ordered so much food in such a short period of time. Even if he was a professional, he had never seen something like this.

It was only after she had finished enough for nine people that Senior Sister Bing slowed down.

However, the reason that she slowed down wasn't because she was full. Rather it was because she felt awkward that she was the only one eating.

She clearly wanted more, but she felt awkward since no one else at the same table was eating a single thing.

In the end, Mu Bao Bao went along with her and ordered some food as well. Lin Fan just kept sipping his drink since he was focused on working with Greeny.

When she did that, Senior Sister Bing happily ordered another three portions…

Finally, Lin Fan couldn't help asking, "Why are you eating that much? Have I really been treating you that badly?"

Senior Sister Bing revealed an awkward look when she heard this and it was then that the fork in her hand slowed down.

After a long silence, Senior Sister Bing said, "It's because I normally spend all my time hiding, so I don't get a chance to come into town that often and eat at restaurants." After saying that, she revealed a bitter smile and said, "If I wanted to have something good, I had to cook it for myself and I can't say that I'm a good cook."

When they heard this, they couldn't help feeling sympathetic towards Senior Sister Bing, especially Mu Bao Bao.

They knew what had happened to her because of the Love Sect and how long she had spent on her own before meeting them again. But it was only now that how hard it had been for her had sunk in for them.

It wasn't as if she was staying in fancy hotels and eating from fancy restaurants, she had been hiding out from people that had wanted to hurt her.

That meant that she had been hiding in the wilderness, away from civilization this entire time. 

So it had been rough for her all these years.

After this, Lin Fan said, "You can order as much as you want."

Senior Sister Bing revealed a smile and gave a nod in response.

When Lin Fan was about to say something else, he suddenly stopped as he noticed something.
