Chapter 840 Familiar presence
The way that they ran off was just like the way that villains would run off after they were foiled.
But it wasn't as if these people could pose a threat to Lin Fan in the first place.
With their level of cultivation, it was clear that they weren't some kind of powerful group that would be able to threaten Lin Fan. As long as he pulled out the envoy token that he had, he was certain that the City Lord Manor would be more than happy to take care of these people for him.
Only now that he had reached a certain level of cultivation, he didn't feel that it was right for him to do something like this.
It was almost as if this was beneath him.
Instead, there was something else that demanded Lin Fan's attention.
Lin Fan just calmly turned around and reached down to grab the collar of the little girl who had been behind him. This little girl was in the middle of sneaking off while the men that chased her were running off naked.
She had wanted to take advantage of this to sneak off without Lin Fan noticing her.
It was just too bad for her that he had noticed her the moment that she had tried to sneak off.
The little girl had a surprised look on her face since she never thought that he would be able to detect her. She had even made sure to use her special bracelet to hide herself as she tried to make her getaway, but somehow he had noticed her...
Just how did this person do it?
The little girl's expression slowly changed as she narrowed her eyes to look at Lin Fan.
When her expression settled, it was as if she was sizing him up.
It was like the little girl was trying to figure him out.
But Lin Fan also took this case to take a closer look at the little girl.
When he looked at her closely, he found that she didn't have a dirty appearance at all, so she clearly wasn't an orphan that was pickpocketing for money.
He couldn't understand why she would suddenly steal something from those men back there. However, that didn't mean that he couldn't see that she must have done it for some special reason.
The fact that there was this jade pendant on her showed that she wasn't normal, so he knew that whatever she took must have been quite special.
That piqued his interest.
"Let me go." The little girl suddenly said as she looked right at him.
Lin Fan revealed an amused look as he said, "Is that really the way to talk to your saviour?"
The little girl gave a snort before saying, "Then should I offer my body to you as a reward." Explore hidden tales at empire
Lin Fan looked down at the little girl's body before revealing a faint smile. It was a smile that was hard to see, but the little girl was able to see it and she was able to tell what kind of smile it was.
Wang Fu just ignored her as he kept looking at Lin Fan with that smile on his face.
As for Lin Fan, he was hesitant on accepting this.
There was the part of him that was worried about his identity being revealed since there was something about Wang Fu's smile that told him that he knew something.
But at the same time, he was curious about the jade pendant that the little girl had.
In the end, it was the smile that convinced him.
Since Wang Fu might know who he was, then it was better to keep an eye on him so that he wouldn't blab about this.
When the three of them arrived in a restaurant, Wang Fu didn't hesitate to get a private room for them.
It might seem like he was doing this to properly repay him, but Lin Fan could tell that there were other intentions. Such as talking to him in private about something.
When the door closed to the private room, the little girl was the first to make a move as she pulled out a sword and pointed it at Lin Fan.
Both Wang Fu and Lin Fan were surprised to see this, but it didn't seem like they were making a big deal of it. The two of them just looked at her as if she was a child that was making a scene, which made the little girl a bit angry.
She looked at Wang Fu to say, "Big Brother Wang, let's take him out now before he can say anything."
Wang Fu shook his head as he said, "Do you really think that you can take him out? He's much stronger than you."
"Huh?" The little girl said in a confused voice before suddenly releasing her aura, "Stronger than me, unthinkable."
If it was the past Lin Fan, he might have been a bit threatened by this little girl since she was in the Peak Qi Condensation Realm.
He knew that there was something special about this little girl, but he never thought that she would be this strong.
Then that made even less sense why she was running from those people before.
With her level of cultivation, it should have been easy for her to run away without causing any commotion. Even if she was stealing something, it should have been easy for her to take that thing.
So why did she do it?
It had to be to cause a commotion and find something to distract those men.
Now Lin Fan was even more curious about the thing that she had stolen from those people.
Wang Fu just stood up and reached his hand out to place atop her head. After putting his hand on her head, he forced her to bow down before turning to Lin Fan to say, "I'm sorry about her. She's quite the excitable little fellow, I hope you don't mind this."
The little girl looked like she was unhappy with this, but she didn't say anything.
"Friend, it's been a while. It's a shame that we couldn't go find the Divine Blood Fruit together last time."
