Cultivation Pet Shop

Since they had finished going to each of Qing Ao's allies, there was no need for them to go anywhere else now.

Lin Fan decided the next morning that they would be returning to the store since they had already spent quite a bit of time away from the store.

Not to mention, he had already accomplished his goal of getting more True Soul Realm allies.

Now he wanted to just be at the store if anything happened, so he could react as soon as possible.

It didn't take them long to reach the store since they had the Hunters Organization's teleport gates, but there also wasn't much that was happening at the store, or in Harmony City in general.

After the various factions started announcing that they could sell Child Soul Realm beasts as well, there was a balance that was struck between the two sides.

Both sides tried to pull in different smaller families with their offer of Child Soul Realm beasts, but to Lin Fan's surprise, the Thunder Sect and True Spirit Sect side were able to pull in more smaller families.

It wasn't because there was a disparity in amount of Child Soul Realm beasts that they could offer since it was easy for Lin Fan to breed more Child Soul Realm beast, but rather when their side tried to contact the small families, they found that they had already jumped to the Thunder Sect and True Spirit Sect side. They didn't even give their side a chance to negotiate as they firmly stood on the other side.

It truly was strange how fast the Thunder Sect and True Spirit Sect side moved, at the same time, it was even stranger how they had been able to foster this kind of loyalty with these families in such a short period of time.

It was almost as if they had been threatened…

But when their side checked into this, they found that there was no such thing.

So that made things even stranger.

The only thing that they could do was try to get as many of the remaining families as possible so there wouldn't be a disparity.

During the time that Lin Fan had been able, there wasn't a lack of supplies since Lin Fan had also taught Mo Ze Chen how to operate the incubator. He hadn't told Mo Ze Chen how it worked, he just told him that it was a machine that could help breed pets.

Mo Ze Chen was already fully on Lin Fan's side, so he knew not to ask too many questions since it most likely had something to do with the master in the store.

After coming back, Lin Fan left the kids to Angela and Yuki as he went to the store to organize something.

It was already past the morning rush when he arrived, but when he did arrive, there was a group who was waiting outside the store for him.

They had arrived early in the morning and had attracted a lot of attention by standing there, but the guards just left them alone since Mo Ze Chen had even vouched for them. Since the workers of the store didn't mind, there really wasn't much that they could do.

As for why Mo Ze Chen vouched for them, that was because they were Lin Fan's people.

It was Jiang Zhi Shu and the people that had been brought up from the Blue Star Planet.

When Lin Fan had come back the day before, he had called them and told them to come to the store in the morning.

When they saw Lin Fan arriving, they all went to greet him, but Lin Fan waved his hand to stop them and then had them follow him into the store.

He had Lulu take care of the store while he led Mo Ze Chen and Jiang Zhi Shu's group into the back.

Since Jiang Zhi Shu had come up from the Blue Star Planet, that meant that he would be working for Lin Fan in the future. So he brought Jiang Zhi Shu's group over to the pet store to get them familiarized with the store while also letting them meet Mo Ze Chen who they would be working with in the future.

Both Mo Ze Chen and Jiang Zhi Shu had already made up their minds to follow Lin Fan, so there shouldn't have been a problem for them to get along, but there was a small conflict between them when they first met.

Both of them thought that they were the closest to Lin Fan, but that changed when they met each other.

They could see that the other side had clearly gone through a lot with Lin Fan, so they were worried about losing their position.

They both knew that the position right by Lin Fan, as his most trusted subordinate, would yield the most benefits, so neither of them were willing to give it to the other.

But that was only a small tension underneath the surface. On the surface, they were actually quite cordial with each other.

However, it wasn't as if Lin Fan couldn't see through the worries that they had.

In fact, he had already thought of a way to handle this, which was why he had brought them to the back.

He led them downstairs until they were in the arena and then put the two of them inside the arena together.

Both Jiang Zhi Shu and Mo Ze Chen were confused when they saw this.

Finally, Mo Ze Chen couldn't help asking, "Boss, what's going on here?"

Jiang Zhi Shu also asked, "Boss, why are we in this place?"

Lin Fan didn't say anything as he just looked at them with a smile. Then he turned back to the panel that he had been fiddling with.

The two of them just stood there in silence, but seeing that Lin Fan still didn't say anything, they were about to say something again. But before they could say anything, they suddenly felt the space around them change.

It was a very strange change, but by the end of it, they could tell that their cultivations had been suppressed.

The most power that they could use was only in the Low Fragmented Soul Realm.

Both of them looked around themselves with shocked looks, trying to figure out what had just happened to them.

Lin Fan watched them acting like this with a smile on his face.

This was a function of the arena built by the system, it used special suppression laws to limit all cultivation inside of the space to be at a certain level. It was just that Lin Fan had never used this function before because there was no need for him to use it.

Most people who used this arena wanted to test the full power of their newly trained pets, so they never asked for cultivation limits.

The reason he had done it now was because of his plan.

He thought that the best way for his two subordinates to get to know each other was with a spar. After all, men who exchanged blows would become closer to each other.

So after giving them some time to get used to this suppressed space, Lin Fan said, "You two will spar now and see who's stronger."

Both Mo Ze Chen and Jiang Zhi Shu were surprised, but they didn't stay that way for long. They figured that this was how Lin Fan would decide who would be the one that he depended more on, which was what they wanted in the first place.

So after hearing what Lin Fan said, both of them prepared to fight.

What they didn't know was that Lin Fan actually treated them both as his brother after everything they had been through together. So in his mind, they were actually on the same level and neither was higher than the other.

The only reason he wanted them to spar was so they could get closer to each other.

,m The sparring lasted for half an hour and by the end of it, both Mo Ze Chen and Jiang Zhi Shu were lying on the ground. Both of them had been completely exhausted by the other side and neither seemed like they were in any condition to keep fighting, but by the end of this, they had a greater admiration for the other person.

Seeing the look in their eyes, Lin Fan revealed a satisfied look.

It seemed like his plan had been a success.

Lin Fan was about to say something else, but he suddenly received a message on his watch.

He looked down to find that it was a simple report from Old Man Qiao about the True Spirit Sect and he opened it without much care since he figured that it was some small news, but the moment that he read the first sentence, his eyes immediately popped out.

Without any hesitation, he immediately called Old Man Qiao.

Old Man Qiao picked up, but he asked in a surprised voice, "Is something wrong?"

He clearly didn't expect Lin Fan to suddenly call him out of the blue. He didn't even associate it to the report that he had just sent since it was only a small piece of news from the True Spirit Sect.

It was just the announcement of a wedding from the family of one of the sect's elders. This was a very normal thing and shouldn't have drawn any attention.

But the one thing that he missed was that the bride had the same surname as Lin Fan.

The bride was Lin Xue.
