Chapter 764: Couldn’t bear to leave them
The moment that Yue Lan asked this, all of them looked at Lin Fan with deeply knitted brows.
After all, this was the thing that all of them were concerned about.
No matter what angle they looked at this from, this was a good thing for Lin Fan.
Not just for Lin Fan alone, but also for the Love Sect and even the Mu Empire.
After all, the Heavenly Demon Sect also had plans for the Mu Empire because of Mu Bao Bao's parents.
They hadn't done anything so far since the former Mu Emperor had gone to smooth things out, but everyone knew that it was just a matter of time before the Heavenly Demon Sect made their move against the Mu Empire.
Since Mu Bao Bao was also in the Love Sect, it was also a matter of time before something happened to the Love Sect as well.
That was just the greed of the Five Great Sects.
Lin Fan was the best witness of this greed since he had seen it from the two elders of the Five Great Sects.
They would take everything that they want without a single care of what other people thought.
So if they were able to create a foothold in the Heavenly Demon Sect ahead of this, it would only be good for them.
With this foothold, they would be able to get ahead of anything that the Heavenly Demon Sect did to the Mu Empire in the future. At the same time, they would be able to move from inside the Heavenly Demon Sect to stop what they were planning for the Mu Empire.
Only…it would mean that Lin Fan would have to leave them.
Perhaps he would be able to take one or two of them with him, but it was impossible for him to take all of them.
It was even less likely that Mu Bao Bao would have been able to leave since she was now the empress of the Mu Empire.
Other than that, there didn't seem to be any downsides to accepting Mo Xue's offer.
Lin Fan revealed a faint smile when he heard Yue Lan ask this.
He wasn't surprised at all by this question since he had already been expecting this question from Yue Lan.
It was expected that they would have doubts over this since this was an important matter, but Lin Fan never had any thoughts about accepting this.
That was because there were other things that he couldn't give up that they didn't know about.
First was the Love Sect that he had built up during this time.
As long as the Love Sect had the Heaven's Chosen in it, there was no doubt that it would eventually reach the same level as the Five Great Sects.
So it was all a matter of time before the Love Sect became stronger.
Not to mention that he still had a mission related to the Love Sect.
Second, there were the businesses that he had built up all over the Mu Empire.
While it would be fine to leave them to Yue Lan, he was certain that there would be certain things that he would be needed when it came to those businesses.
Namely, the ideas for new products that he gave Yue Lan.
A lot of the Royal Style business' ideas came from the ideas in his past life, so if he isn't here to give those ideas…the business might not grow.
It would certainly be hard to communicate with Yue Lan if he were to go to the Heavenly Demon Sect.
And finally, it was hard for him to leave behind the dungeon which also had a main mission attached to it.
But other than that, the main problem with the dungeon was that it was related to his system.
In the end, the biggest thing that was holding Lin Fan back was his system.
The system was a cheat in this world and as long as he had enough time to grow with the system, there was no doubt that he would be able to reach a point where no one in this world could bother him.
This was both his system and the Dungeon Master System.
So Lin Fan didn't want to go anywhere where he would stand out.
All he wanted to do was grow with the system without attracting anyone's attention.
There was no doubt that he would attract a lot of attention if he were to go to the Heavenly Demon Sect now.
That was why Lin Fan didn't want to go to the Heavenly Demon Sect.
The moment that he went, it would basically seal his fate as one who was torn apart by others in order to take benefits from him. He wasn't willing to let himself be torn apart by others like that.
Of course, it wasn't as if he could tell them any of this.
The system was the last thing that he hid from them, even though Lin Fan had already told them about Rokuko and her connection to the dungeon.
The system was the last thing that he would keep hidden no matter what happened.
After all, a thing that would allow him to pull things out of thin air…this was not something that could be disclosed that easily. If it was known that he had this system, it might even be possible that he was turned into a store.
Instead, the smarter thing to do was…
"I can't bear to leave any of you, how could I possibly accept the Heavenly Demon Sect's invitation?" Lin Fan said in a smooth manner.
The girls seemed moved at first, but a single cough from Yue Lan was enough to bring them back.
The way that she looked at him, it was clear that she suspected that there was more to this story. But in the end, Yue Lan didn't say a thing since she knew that this was something that Lin Fan wanted to keep hidden.
Instead, she changed the topic by asking, "What's the plan now?"
Now that he was back, she wanted to know just what kind of plans Lin Fan had.
After all, this was a time for them to develop.
With no one bothering them, this was a great chance for them to build up their power.
It was something that they had to do during this time because once the calm before the storm was over, there was no doubt that there would be many different powerful experts coming to Mu Empire and the Love Sect once the storm came.
So it was best if they increased their power while they still could.
As for how they would do it…
Yue Lan was leaving all of that to Lin Fan.
Lin Fan was the one that had transformed the current Love Sect to its current self. He was the one that had brought out all kinds of strange things that Mu Bao Bao confirmed hadn't been in the Love Sect treasury before.
They never questioned where Lin Fan got all of these things, but it was clear that there was something special that he was hiding from them. Still, since he didn't want to tell them, they trusted that he had a good reason for it.
Instead, Yue Lan was just going to take advantage of this by having him cough up things that would help make them stronger.
This might be considered a toxic relationship if it wasn't for the fact that they already knew that this was their only option.
In the first place, if Lin Fan wasn't willing to take these things out, then he wouldn't have. So the fact that he took them out meant that he was willing to contribute and was willing to give these things to them.
In that case, they should take full advantage of this to make those from the Love Sect as strong as possible.
Lin Fan thought about it for a bit before saying, "For now, let's just keep doing what we've been doing. I need some time to come up with some new things for everyone, so before that, let's just continue like this for a bit longer."
Everyone was surprised since this was usually the time that Lin Fan would have something to surprise them with. They had gotten so used to this that it was surprising that he didn't have anything.
However, Lin Fan really didn't have anything this time.
Or it could be said that there wasn't anything yet that he could take out.
There was something that was in the works, but the conditions haven't been met yet, which was why he couldn't take out what he would have wanted to take out.
It would all depend on Mu Bao Bao when this would be unlocked since this was the mission related to the Love Sect.
This all depended on when the disciples that she promised would arrive since without them, Lin Fan still hadn't fulfilled the conditions for his main mission.
He was certain that once he passed the main mission, he would be able to receive a generous reward from the system.
So before that, there really wasn't anything that he could do other than develop the dungeon.
But that couldn't be rushed either since it was dangerous to make the dungeon too famous all at once.
Just like he said, he needed some time to comb the system's store to see if there was anything useful that he could take out for them.
So before that, he would just leave them hanging.
