Cultivation Pet Shop

Lin Fan immediately revealed a slight angry look when he heard this.

It wasn't hard for him to understand the hidden implication behind old man Qiao's words. It was clear that the elders were trying to force a marriage between Song Shu and their disciples since the Alchemy Master was away and couldn't stop them.

Once the engagement was set, it would be even hard for the Alchemy Master to cancel it since this was a matter of prestige.

At that point, it would all be too late.

That was exactly why Lin Fan was angry. It was because they were trying to force this fate on Song Shu.

Song Shu, the little girl from the Blue Star Planet who had gone with Elder Fu to the Alchemy King Hall. The little girl who had worked in Lin Fan's store before. The little girl who was like a little sister to Lin Fan.

They were trying to force her to marry someone?

Even if she was willing, Lin Fan wouldn't have agreed to it!

After all, she was just too young!

How could Lin Fan let these old men lay their hands on his cute little sister?

Old man Qiao could see the angry look on Lin Fan's face and he was confused.

Could it be that Lin Fan already knew the disciple of the Alchemy Master? Could it be that he already had a deeper relationship with her? Was that why he was angry when he heard that people wanted to lay their hands on her?

Old man Qiao still wanted to set his granddaughter Qiao Yi Fei up with Lin Fan, so if this was true, this wouldn't have been good news for him.

But even if it was bad news, it wasn't as if he could do anything since this was Lin Fan's private matter.

Still, he couldn't help feeling a bad premonition so he couldn't help asking, "Owner Lin, are you planning on doing something to the Alchemy King Hall?"

Lin Fan restrained himself when he heard this. The look of anger faded from his eyes as he said, "Why would I do anything to the Alchemy King Hall? Not to mention, how could I do anything to the Alchemy King Hall? I'm just the simple owner of a pet store."

Old man Qiao revealed a smile that showed that he clearly thought otherwise, but he didn't say anything else.

Since he had already passed on the information, there was no need for him to stay any longer since he still had other business to take care of.

Actually, when old man Qiao came into the store, he looked quite tired. It was clear that he hadn't gotten much rest last night.

But with all the facts that Lin Fan had dropped on them yesterday, it was inevitable.

The various factions that had been in Lin Fan's store yesterday held their secret meetings and were planning on having more meetings with each other today. Since old man Qiao was one of the leaders of the Hunters Organization, he had no choice but to go to those meetings.

Let alone the fact that he was the one that could be considered the closest to Lin Fan.

So Lin Fan didn't keep him here any longer.

But the other reason why Lin Fan didn't keep him here was because he wanted to talk to Angela about something.

Angela had been out with Yuki, but Lin Fan had called her right away since this was important. After Angela heard why he had called her, she immediately headed to the store.

As soon as she came into the store, there was a chill that filled the store that made everyone shiver, but no one could look directly in her direction.

Angela ignored all of this and found Lin Fan before dragging him into the back of the store.

Lin Fan had a bitter smile on his face, but he gave a nod to Momonga to take care of things as he was being dragged away. Momonga naturally knew what he was asking for, so he had one of the ghost maid girls head over to the counter.

After dragging Lin Fan to the back, Angela threw him onto a chair in the break room and said, "Speak! Tell me everything that happened!"

Lin Fan still had the same bitter smile, but he slowly told Angela everything that he heard from old man Qiao.

After she finished listening, she cracked her knuckles and turned to head out the room.

Lin Fan could sense the danger that was coming from her, so he immediately grabbed her to stop her and asked, "What are you planning on doing?"

Angela turned to look at him with a cold look and said, "What else do you think? If they want to do anything to her, I'll just blow them all away. Wouldn't that solve everything?"

The bitter smile on Lin Fan's face became heavier as he said, "Do you really think that's the best way? Elder Fu and the Alchemy Master are also there and it seems like they treat her quite well. I'm sure that she would be sad if something happened to them."

The expression on Angela's face froze before she pouted her lips and looked at him, "Then what do we do? We can't just wait and let something happen to her, right?"

Lin Fan's heart softened a bit when he saw this, but he quickly calmed his feelings before saying, "Of course we're not going to let anything happen to her, but we can't just rush into this. Solving our problems with violence isn't a good idea."

Angela knitted her brows and pouted her lips even more as she said, "Then what do we do?"

Lin Fan revealed a faint smile as he said, "We can't do anything if we're outsiders, but what if we're not outsiders?"

Angela looked at Lin Fan with a confused look as she asked, "What do you mean?"

Lin Fan said, "Well, the Alchemy King Hall is an organization made of alchemists and almost all alchemists register with them. As long as we register with them as alchemists, wouldn't we be able to go in and get the information we want? Then we can help Song Shu based on the situation."

Angela revealed a look of understanding when she heard this, but then her expression became awkward.

Lin Fan saw this and asked, "What's wrong?"

Angela hesitated for a bit before finally saying, "Well, my alchemy skills aren't that good…"

Lin Fan was about to say something, but before he could, Yuki, who had been in the room the entire time, spoke first. She said in an excited voice, "Big sister, I can take it and then you can follow me into the Alchemy King Hall as a follower! You know how good my alchemy skills are!"

While Yuki didn't know who this Song Shu was, seeing how strong her big sister's reaction was, she knew that it must be someone important to her.

Since this was a chance to show off her skills to her big sister and earn her praise, how could she let this go?

Lin Fan was about to say something, but Yuki could already guess what he was about to say, so she glared at him until he swallowed his words.

She knew that he was about to suggest that they could both just follow him as his follower instead, but she wouldn't let him take this opportunity away! After all, this was a chance for her to be alone with her big sister and receive her praise!

Lin Fan just stayed silent as Angela thought about it.

After a bit of silence, she looked at Yuki and said, "Alright, I'll go with you then."

How could she not know what Yuki was thinking?

But seeing how excited she was, it wasn't like she could burst her bubble. Not to mention, she also wanted to spend some time together with her.

Yuki immediately revealed a happy smile and took Angela in her arms for a hug.

While Angela's back was turned, she made sure to look at Lin Fan with a smug smile to show off her victory.

Lin Fan just shook his head with a bitter smile, but he felt happy for her as well.

With this decided, the only thing that they had to do was figure out when they would be taking the alchemist exam.

This information wasn't that hard to find since the Alchemy King Hall was such a public organization. Their website gave clear indications of when the exams were and where they would be held.

It didn't take them long to find that the next exam would be held on Friday of this week and it was currently Wednesday. That meant that if they wanted to be a part of the next exam, they would have to sign up tomorrow before taking the exam on Friday.

But that wasn't the only problem.

Unlike the Tamers Guild that held an exam at their branches almost every day, the Alchemy King Hall had a different policy.

,m They held their exams once a month and it would always be in a different location.

They did this to maintain their superiority, it was a way of them saying that alchemists were much rarer than Monster Trainers, so that was why they were the more noble profession.

Of course, that just made it harder for people to attend their exams which did make them the rarer profession.

Still, this wasn't a problem for Lin Fan since there was also a Hunters Organization branch that was in the city where the exams were being held.

All of the Hunters Organization branches were connected by transport gates, so all Lin Fan had to do was use the transport gate at the Harmony City branch to reach that place.
