With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods

After that was settled, there wasn't much else that Yue Lan had to report to Lin Fan.

She just told him that she would prepare some proposals for him to approve later in response to how he wanted to organize the city.

Lin Fan gave a nod of agreement to this.

He knew that this should be the least that he should do for this city.

The others didn't really have much to report to him other than a few things about their daily lives.

Even Tian Tian seemed to not have anything since the Mercenary Guild was now very inactive after the changing of the ruler in the Mu Empire. 

Even if they wanted to do anything, the Mercenary Guild wouldn't dare since they knew that the Five Great Sects were involved.

The Mercenary Guild was powerful, but compared to the Five Great Sects, they wouldn't be able to do anything.

It was the same with the Merchants Guild and other similar organizations.

So it was a rare period of peace for the Mu Empire right now.

Lin Fan was glad to hear all of this, but he could also tell that there was one person who seemed to be holding back.

This one person was the one who waited until last to make her report.

It was Mu Bao Bao who had been silently sitting on the side with her head down, as if she was afraid of being noticed.

The look on her face almost made it seem like she had some kind of very bad news that she didn't want to share.

Lin Fan had seen this look on her face before since they had been together for a while now. It was almost like the look of a child that was hiding something bad that they did.

He couldn't help revealing a faint smile since he couldn't help finding this cute.

But in the end, Lin Fan said, "Just tell me what it is, you're really bad at hiding these things."

Mu Bao Bao revealed a surprised look since she thought that she was hiding it quite well.

The others couldn't help revealing smiles when they saw her face like this since they too knew that she was hiding something. In fact, they actually knew what she was hiding since they had been here when she received the report.

When they thought about this matter, they couldn't help revealing complicated looks as well.

Seeing that Mu Bao Bao wasn't saying anything and that the others revealed these complicated looks, Lin Fan knew that it must be something big.

He couldn't help knitting his brows for a minute before saying, "Just tell me what it is already. It doesn't matter how bad it is, we can get through this together. Is it something bad about the Mu Empire, or is there a problem with the Love Sect? We can take care of it together as long as you tell me."

Mu Bao Bao looked at Lin Fan with a complicated look, but she still didn't say anything.

Since Mu Bao Bao didn't say anything, Lin Fan looked at the others in the room.

However, all of them turned away as if they weren't willing to match his gaze as well.

So Lin Fan could only turn back to look at Mu Bao Bao.

She also turned away as if she wasn't willing to meet his gaze, but there was only so much that she could do to pretend like she didn't see anything. After all, she could feel the pressure that was coming from Lin Fan.

In the end, Mu Bao Bao took a deep breath and pulled out a piece of paper from her chest.

She put it in front of her, as if she was presenting it to Lin Fan.

Lin Fan couldn't help raising his brow a bit when he saw this, but he still took the piece of paper from her.

It was when he started reading that he couldn't help knitting his brows slightly.

What was written on this piece of paper was a simple report, it was one that one of Mu Bao Bao's subordinates had sent back.

The content of the report was even more simple as it just was a report on one of the regions in the Mu Empire.

There were many such reports each day, but this one had caught Mu Bao Bao's attention for a certain reason.

Not only had it caught her attention, she had even treated it as something this important.

It was all because of a single name that was on the report.

The Lin Family.

This report stated that the Lin Family had been making some moves in their province and it seemed suspicious.

When Lin Fan saw this, he understood why they felt this way.

They must have guessed that he was most likely someone from this Lin Family, so they were worried that he would be affected by this when he learned of this matter.

But they didn't know the real story between Lin Fan and the Lin Family.

Or rather, they didn't know the real story between the original owner of this body and the Lin Family.

It wasn't a good story, so it wasn't as if he had any good feelings about the Lin Family.

He had even promised the original owner of the body that he would take care of the Lin Family for him if he ever had the chance.

With everything that had happened, Lin Fan had completely forgotten about this matter until now.

But now that the Lin Family had come to his doorsteps, why would he refuse this chance?

Since they came to him, they couldn't blame him if he took care of them.

After he finished reading this, Lin Fan's knitted brows relaxed and he said, "It seems like you don't know the real situation between me and the Lin Family. But then again, it isn't strange since I never told you this before."

All of them couldn't help being surprised when they heard this before slightly knitting their brows again.

They could tell from the tone of his voice that whatever he was about to tell them wasn't simple.

However, they never would have expected the situation to be this bad.

"How could they do something like that!" Mu Bao Bao was the first to speak as she slammed her fist onto the table.

Because of her anger, she even lost control of her strength and crushed the table with that punch.

The others didn't make an outburst like her, but they all had angry looks on their faces as they nodded in agreement to her outburst.

Lin Fan revealed a warm smile when he saw them getting angry on his behalf, but he said, "It isn't as bad as you think and the most important thing is that I survived, right?"

All of them looked at him with sad looks on their faces, but they nodded in agreement.

But that didn't mean that they forgot their anger towards the Lin Family.

Lin Fan saw this and knew that they would act even if he didn't want them to, so before they could do that, he would have to act.

Plus, it was his responsibility to finish this matter. Not only for himself, but also for the original owner of this body.

This was one of the loose strings that he needed to tie up before he moved on with his new life.

So Lin Fan looked at Mu Bao Bao and said, "Can I take care of this matter for you?"

Mu Bao Bao was surprised to hear this, but seeing the firm look that was in Lin Fan's eyes, she gave a simple nod in response.

It seemed that Lin Fan had already come to a decision, so it was her job to support him in this decision.

The other girls looked at him with complicated looks before Xiao Yue said, "Can I come with you?"

The other girls were surprised by her suddenly asking this, but then they revealed determined looks as they all wanted to volunteer to come with him as well.

But Lin Fan shook his head with a warm smile and said, "No, this is something that I have to do on my own."

All of them revealed dejected looks when they heard this, so he said, "I know that you all want to help, but this is something that I don't want to involve you in. This is just some loose ends that I have to tie up on my own."

They still looked at him with the same dejected look, but they also had looks of understanding in their eyes.

They knew that this was a very personal matter for him and unless he solved it on his own, it would be hard for him to let this go.

This was his chance to forget about the past, so they couldn't just rashly butt into this.

Mu Bao Bao then said, "What do you need? Just tell me and I'll prepare it for you."

With the look in her eyes, it seemed like she would even prepare an army for him if he asked for it.

But Lin Fan just shook his head with a faint smile and said, "I don't need much. There are only two things that I need."

Mu Bao Bao was surprised by the two things that he requested, but in the end, she agreed to give these things to him.

As he made this decision, Lin Fan had a sharp look in his eyes.

"Lin Family, it's time to settle this."
