With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods

"What is the mission?"

Mo Xue didn't say anything at first as he took out something from his pocket.

It was a rolled up piece of paper that he opened up and spread on the floor in front of everyone.

It wasn't that big, so there were some people that had to stretch forward to read it.

But they were all confused when they saw what it was.

It was a map.

It was a map of the surrounding area.

It wasn't just the Mu Empire that was shown, but also the Wu Empire and the other surrounding countries.

For it to show all of this, there was no doubt that whatever this mission was, it wasn't just confined to the borders of the Mu Empire. It seemed that this would be a troublesome mission to complete.

After rolling out the map, Mo Xue pointed at a certain spot and said, "There is a fruit that will be growing at the peak of this mountain in around a month. The Heavenly Demon Sect wants you to get this fruit for them."

Lin Fan and the elders immediately knitted their brows when they heard this.

This…almost seemed like it was an errand that the Heavenly Demon Sect was sending them on. Even the way that it was said, it was almost as if they were being looked down on.

This was completely different from how Mo Xue had talked to them before.

Lin Fan narrowed his eyes to look at Mo Xue who had been standing there with a calm look on his face, but seeing Lin Fan looked at him like this, there was an awkward smile that crept onto Mo Xue's face.

After a moment of silence, he said, "What can you do? They told me to tell you this in this manner. I can't do anything, this is just how they told me to do it."

Lin Fan narrowed his eyes even more when he heard this, but then he said with a nod, "Then can you talk to me for real now?"

Mo Xue gave a nod before saying with a serious look, "The fruit that they want you to get is a Divine Blood Fruit. It's a special elixir that is said to be able to evolve a person's physique, which is why even the Five Great Sects would fight over such a thing." Chapter Read:

Then with a sigh, he said, "However, it isn't as if they can just send their own people to take it, so the only thing that they can do is send people that don't seem related to the Five Great Sects on the surface."

His eyes narrowed to look at Lin Fan when he said this.

There was no subtlety in his words at all.

It was clear what he was trying to say and Lin Fan immediately understood what this was all about.

It seemed that he was nothing more than a pawn being used by the Heavenly Demon Sect, but could this be blamed on them?

With the difference in power between the Heavenly Demon Sect and the Love Sect, as well as the relationship that they currently had, it would be strange if they didn't see the Love Sect as a kind of pawn for them to use.

The worst part of this was that it would mean clashing with forces that were under the Five Great Sects as well, which would make the rift between them even larger.

This might make the Five Great Sects more likely to do something drastic if the time came…

That was why Lin Fan didn't want to get involved with the Five Great Sects if he had a choice.

It was just that he didn't have a choice on this matter.

In the end, Lin Fan said, "Alright, we'll accept this mission and get the fruit. When the time comes, send someone to pick it up."

Mo Xue gave a simple nod before saying, "Then I'll leave it to you."

With that, Mo Xue and the other members of the Demon Palm Sect left.

Of course, they didn't leave Dungeon City, they just left the Love Sect main hall.

Mo Xue knew that with this sudden news, there was no doubt that Lin Fan would need to discuss this matter with the elders and the other members of the Love Sect. As such, he knew to give them space to discuss this since he was an outsider.

However, he couldn't leave since it was his mission from the Heavenly Demon Sect to stay and watch over them.

Until someone from the Love Sect went to get the Divine Blood Fruit, he was here to stay.

Even though Mo Xue and the other members of the Demon Palm Sect left, there was no one that said a single thing.

All of the elders just sat there with grim looks on their faces.

It was clear that not a single one of them knew what to say in response to what Mo Xue had presented them.

So the only thing that they could do was wait to see what the sect master's reaction was.

Lin Fan also had a frown on his face, but his was much less grim than the looks on the faces of the elders. Rather, it seemed like he had already come to a decision, it was just a matter of how to state this decision that he had come to.

In the end, it was Senior Brother Ying who broke the silence by asking, "Sect master, what should we do about this?"

The way that he said this was almost as if he already knew that Lin Fan had come to a decision and he was just asking him to encourage him to state it.

Lin Fan was pulled out of his thoughts when he heard this and he looked around the room.

He could see that everyone was just waiting for him, so he said, "I'll take care of this mission alone."

The moment that he said this, there were strong voices that immediately rejected this.

The strongest came from the ones that suddenly burst into the hall.

They had been watching from the side, but they couldn't hold themselves back the moment that they heard this.

Of course these were Lin Fan's girls who suddenly burst into the room.

The elders that had been about to say something just leaned back in their chairs and waited to see what would happen. They knew that anything that they said wouldn't be as effective as what these girls said.

But Lin Fan was already prepared for this, so he said, "This is the best way."

There were worried looks that were on the faces of everyone around him when he said this, but at least they gave him the benefit of the doubt and waited to see what he had to say.

Lin Fan just calmly said, "It'll give me the best chance to run away if I'm alone."

All of them deeply knitted their brows the moment that they heard this.

It wasn't just the girls who had these looks on their faces, it was also the elders who had the same looks.

The way that he said this, it was almost as if he was implying that they would get in his way if anything happened.

This was something that they resented since they had been training hard all this time.

However, Lin Fan just said in the same calm voice, "You should know that I have some special abilities. If you're with me, I won't be able to use them since it'll require me to abandon you all. So the safest way is if I go alone."

All of them knitted their brows even more when they heard this, but they didn't refute it.

It was better to say that they couldn't refute this.

Everyone recognized that Lin Fan had some special abilities that they couldn't see through, so they had to admit that he might be safer if they weren't there.

Not to mention, there was no telling what kind of thing they would encounter on this trip, so it was better to just send a single person.

But to let Lin Fan go by himself…

In the end, Mu Bao Bao said with a sigh, "Are you sure that you want to do this?"

Lin Fan was surprised to hear this since he didn't expect her to suddenly ask this, but he just responded with a firm nod.

Then in a more serious voice, he said, "This is a test of loyalty, so it's something that has to be done. So it's best if I do this alone since I'm sure that I'll be able to see through the tricks that they've prepared."

The elders were surprised to hear this, but not the girls…well, not all of the girls since the smarter ones had already figured this out.

The way that Mo Xue had said all of this, it was clear that the Heavenly Demon Sect was testing their loyalty after everything that happened.

That was the main reason why they had to accept this mission in the first place.

In the end, everyone had no choice but to accept Lin Fan going alone…

But before that could happen…

"You're not escaping tonight."

The girls suddenly surrounded Lin Fan and grabbed him in a way that he wouldn't be able to escape.

Lin Fan was surprised at first, but then there was a bitter smile that appeared on his face.

When he looked at the elders for help, he found that all of them were looking away as if they didn't see anything.

He could even tell that they were enjoying seeing him like this…
