NOVGO.NET Chapter 959 Strange visitor
After walking down, they found themselves inside of a tunnel under the house.
This wasn’t a small tunnel, this was quite the large tunnel that seemed to lead a long way.
The young girl followed them down as well and took a torch to lead the way for them.
Huang Xie still seemed confused about this, but he still followed Lin Fan and the young girl. Though judging from the look on his face, it seemed that he was ready to fight if it was needed.
Though Lin Fan seemed like he wasn’t worried at all.
It was as if he was in control of everything here.
The young girl didn’t say a single word as she led them through the tunnel and eventually they reached the end of the tunnel.
They arrived at a set of stairs that were leading up, but Huang Xie still had no idea just where they were. He looked at Lin Fan as if he wanted to urge him to leave this place, but Lin Fan just followed the young girl up.
So in the end, Huang Xie had no choice but to follow as well.
When they came up the stairs, Huang Xie found that this place wasn’t what he had expected.
It wasn’t a luxurious room, but it was a well kept room.
At the same time, he could see from the window just where they were.
It was the City Lord Manor that they had seen and passed earlier. Though even without seeing this place, Huang Xie would have known this place since he was someone that had lived in this city before.
He naturally recognized the City Lord Manor that everyone in Southern Cloud City would have recognized.
When he came back to his senses, Huang Xie turned to look at Lin Fan with a confused look as if he was saying, “What are we doing here?”
Lin Fan didn’t mind him as he sat down on the couch in the center of the room.
So Huang Xie just walked over and stood behind Lin Fan as if he was on guard.
Lin Fan shook his head with a bitter smile seeing Huang Xie like this, but he knew that it would be useless trying to convince him. So he just let Huang Xie do what he wanted while he looked at the young girl.
The young girl had also been looking at Huang Xie, but then she turned back to give Lin Fan a bow before saying, “I’ll bring the lord here right away.”
Lin Fan gave a simple nod before waving his hand as if he was dismissing her.
The young girl didn’t seem to mind at all as she headed out the room.
When she was gone, Huang Xie just couldn’t hold himself back anymore as he asked, “Master, what are we doing here? Weren’t we supposed to be keeping a low profile?”
Lin Fan just calmly said without even turning back, “What can we do if we don’t get some information first?”
Huang Xie slightly knitted his brows, but he didn’t say anything else in the end as he just gave a simple nod.
He didn’t know what Lin Fan was planning to do, but he knew that this master of his had always given him surprises. So it wouldn’t be strange if Lin Fan already had a plan in place.
When the door opened again, the young girl came back with a serious looking middle aged man.
The middle aged man just ignored Huang Xie who was standing there and immediately looked surprised to see Lin Fan. The way that he looked at him was almost as if he recognized him.
Lin Fan was a bit surprised that the middle aged man recognized him since he didn’t think that he was that famous.
It was different from the modern world where there were cameras, which would make it easy for his face to spread. In this cultivation world, it was harder for one to know what people looked like.
Yet he could tell that this middle aged man recognized him.
He even proved it by saying, “Sect Master Lin, it is an honour to have you in our city. Are you here on official business or personal business?”
Lin Fan slightly knitted his brows when he heard this before asking, “You know who I am?”
The Southern Cloud City Lord said with a simple nod, “How could I not recognize the famous sect master of the Love Sect, the current greatest sect in the Mu Empire.” Then after a pause, he said with a more knowing look, “As well as the confidant of her majesty.”
Lin Fan didn’t change his expression as he looked at the city lord, but the city lord didn’t seem to mind at all as he looked back at him with the same smile on his face.
Eventually, Lin Fan said, “I’m here on official business. Are you the one that sent in the report?”
The Southern Cloud City Lord didn’t even need to ask what he meant by this as he waved his hand at the young girl and turned back to say, “Yes, I was the one that sent that report. I believed that it was an important matter that had to be reported to the central government.”
The serious look on his face made it seem that he firmly believed what he said.
Lin Fan just calmly looked at him for a bit before saying, “Then tell me why you believe this.”
Once again, the Southern Cloud City Lord didn’t panic at all as if he had already expected this.
For someone as shrewd as him, it was only natural that he had prepared everything before sending that report in. So he took the papers that the young girl handed him and spread them out on the table in front of them.
Lin Fan looked down at the reports and he knitted his brows when he saw them.
The Southern Cloud City Lord acted as if he didn’t see the expression change on Lin Fan’s face as he started explaining everything that happened.
When Huang Xie heard this, he couldn’t help knitting his brows as well.
After all, the things that the Southern Cloud City Lord told them was more than what he had read on the report that Lin Fan showed him. It seemed that the Huang Family had done even more than the report had told them about.
But Huang Xie just couldn’t understand why the Huang Family would dare do something like this.
Since he was someone from the Huang Family, he felt that he had a good idea of what the Huang Family was capable of. The things that the Southern Cloud City Lord described didn’t seem like things that the Huang Family were capable of.
It was as if the Huang Family had suddenly changed…
After describing a few things, the Southern Cloud City Lord seemed to slow down a bit as if he was waiting for something.
That was because Lin Fan hadn’t been paying attention to him at all.
Your next chapter is on empire
Lin Fan had been looking down at the reports that were spread out all over the table, as if there was something that he was looking for. The Southern Cloud City Lord was almost waiting for Lin Fan to finish since he felt that he might have found something.
In the end, Lin Fan picked up one of the pieces of paper and asked, “What is this about a stranger entering the Huang Family?”
The Southern Cloud City Lord was surprised by this question since this was the last thing that he expected Lin Fan to ask him about. But after taking a moment to come back to his senses, he quickly found the information that Lin Fan wanted.
“That stranger appeared before all of this happened, but we just think that he was there to give them the things that they needed to do these things.” The Southern Cloud City Lord said as he read something off a piece of paper.
Lin Fan didn’t respond right away as he looked at the piece of paper he was holding, but then he said, “But you never saw that strange actually leave, right?”
The Southern Cloud City Lord lowered the piece of paper that he was looking at to look at Lin Fan with a strange look.
Only when he saw that Lin Fan didn’t seem to be joking about this, he looked through the reports again before slowly shaking his head to say, “No, there was no one that ever observed that stranger leaving the Huang Family.”
The Southern Cloud City Lord had said this slowly as if he was hesitating over something.
He even had to look over the other reports just to confirm this, as if he was afraid that he had missed something.
Lin Fan just gave a simple nod before saying, “That’s all I needed. Thank you.”
Without any hesitation, he stood up and said to the young girl, “Bring us back to the same place as before.”
The young girl didn’t move as she turned to look at the Southern Cloud City Lord like she was asking for his permission.
The Southern Cloud City Lord didn’t act right away, but he eventually gave a nod to her.
It was only then that the young girl led them to the same passage as before.
Though the Southern Cloud City Lord picked up the pieces of paper from the table to follow them and said, “Sect Master Lin, are you sure that you don’t need these reports.”
Lin Fan just looked at him with a smile and shook his head before saying, “No, I’ve got all that I needed.”
The Southern Cloud City Lord was just left there with a confused look on his face in the end.
