With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods

After a moment of silence, Yun Lan said, "Sit down, I'll get some tea for you."

Then before Lin Fan could answer, she was already making her way into the kitchen.

Lin Fan just had a smile on his face as he was pulled over to the table by the kids.

This place…seemed much warmer than any of the other orphanages that he had been in before. This place seemed like a real family instead of a place that gathered a bunch of kids who had lost their family.

But he knew what it was.

It was because there was Yun Lan there to hold it all together.

The more he got to know her, the more impressed he was with her.

So he wanted to have her to himself.

That was just the impression that she had made on him.

When Yun Lan came back, all of the kids went upstairs or outside so that they wouldn't disturb them, but these were kids after all. They were curious about this kind of thing, so most of them came back to snoop on them.

But they were kids after all, so it was impossible for Lin Fan and Yun Lan to miss them.

They just pretended like they didn't see them.

After putting the tea down, she sat down in front of him and there was an awkward silence that came in between them.

Neither of them knew what to say first, so they could only sit there in silence.

But after a while, Yun Lan worked up the courage to say, "What have you been up to?"

Lin Fan hesitated a bit before saying, "I took care of some business."

Yun Lan could clearly hear that he was avoiding her question to a certain extent, but she didn't mind.

As if he had suddenly thought of something, Lin Fan said, "Oh, you don't need to worry about that big brother Hai anymore. He won't be bothering you again."

Yun Lan was caught off guard when she heard this, but she knew better than to ask. She had already seen how big brother Hai had reacted yesterday, so a smart girl like her was able to figure out that Lin Fan definitely wasn't a normal person.

Since that was the case, she didn't doubt that he would be able to take care of big brother Hai.

But at the same time, her heart couldn't help skipping a beat when she heard this.

So she said in a small voice, "Thank you…"

Her voice trailed off as she realized something.

She didn't even know his name!

She had only ever interacted with him by talking to him directly, so she had never actually learned his name.

But even so, she couldn't stop the feelings in her heart.

Lin Fan looked at her sitting there in a daze as her voice trailed off and he couldn't help feeling something was off. But in the end, he decided that this was the best time, so he said, "I want you to come with me."

Yun Lan was pulled out of her thoughts when she heard this and her face couldn't help turning red.

But then, her expression changed to a look of difficulty as she said, "I can't…I have to take care of the kids, so I can't just leave this place."

Lin Fan nodded and said, "I want them to come with us too."

Yun Lan was taken aback when she heard this, but then she revealed a wary look as she said, "What are you planning on doing."

Lin Fan just calmly said, "I belong to a sect and I want to take all of you in."

Yun Lan was once again taken aback when she heard this.

She knew that Lin Fan was a cultivator based on the facts from before, but she never thought that he would be related to a sect. But at the same time, she was also skeptical of what Lin Fan truly wanted.

After all, it was impossible for him to take care of all these kids just for her.

It had only been a day since they had met, it was impossible that he would have enough feelings to want to take care of them for her this soon.

So she asked, "What are you planning on doing with them once they go to your sect?"

Lin Fan revealed a smile under his mask and said, "I want to bring them back to become disciples. If they have enough talent, then we'll accept them as proper disciples, but if they don't, then I'll have them become worker disciples. No matter what happens, the sect will take care of them."

Yun Lan couldn't help feeling more and more dazed when she heard this.

She felt that she had a good judge of character, so she didn't believe that Lin Fan was lying to her.

And if everything that he was saying was true, then it would be the best for these kids.

After all, there was no future for them if they were to stay in this city. This city was a place where only the worst of the worst gathered and it wasn't an easy place to escape from, so eventually…they would have to face the worst of humanity…

Now that there was a path for these kids, it should be something that she should take.

Not to mention, it was impossible to sustain themselves in this dirty city.

Even if Lin Fan had paid off their loans this time, it would only be a matter of time before they would be forced to take another loan. There was just no way for this orphanage to become sustainable enough to not require help.

Next time, they wouldn't have him to protect them if they didn't take this opportunity now.

But there were her feelings for the old woman who once owned this orphanage that kept her from taking this offer.

She had been raised here and she had seen how much the old woman had loved this place. She was someone that wanted to keep saving children in this place, so she had never given up on this orphanage.

So she found it hard to decide.

However, there was also a feeling deep inside of her that lit a spark in her.

It was as if she was being burned by this feeling inside of her and it was telling her to…go with Lin Fan.

This was the hope that she had since she was young and now that there was this opportunity in front of her, she really wanted to take it.

As she was hesitating, the kids who had been peeking couldn't help coming in through the door and coming down the stairs.

Yun Lan was surprised by their appearance and was about to scold them for eavesdropping, but before she could…

"Big brother, are you bullying big sister?" One of the little girls asked.

Lin Fan could see the worried looks on the faces of these kids and he couldn't help feeling a warm feeling.

Even in this place, the worst city in the empire, there was a place like this. This really said a lot about how talented Yun Lan was.

For these kids, they had seen the difficult look on Yun Lan's face as they talked even though they didn't really understand what they had been talking about. They knew that Lin Fan must have done something to make her reveal this difficult look.

For these kids, the first thing that they thought of was that Lin Fan had bullied her.

Yun Lan was also touched when she heard this, but she quickly explained, "No, this big brother and I were just discussing something important."

The kids tilted their heads as if they really couldn't understand, but they quickly got over it as well.

One of the little girls then came forward to ask, "Big brother, are you going to become our new big brother?"

The way that she asked this made it very clear…

Yun Lan was their big sister, so the "big brother" that she was talking about was…

Yun Lan's face turned red when she heard this, but she didn't say anything as she lowered her head. Her eyes looked up slightly though so that she could see Lin Fan's face and she waited for his reaction.

Lin Fan couldn't help revealing a smile when he saw this, so he decided to tease her a bit.

"I want to, but it doesn't seem like your big sister is willing."

Yun Lan's face turned even more red when she heard this.

The kids were all filled with excitement when they heard this.

They had seen Lin Fan rescuing Yun Lan yesterday, so they were already filled with worship towards him. They felt that if it was someone like him, then he would be able to take care of their big sister.

So they all turned to look at Yun Lan with questioning looks.

Lin Fan saw this and took out the toys and candies that he bought earlier before saying, "I hope that you guys can help me convince your big sister."

When they saw the toys and candies, the eyes of the kids immediately lit up.

If it was anyone else, they would be wary since they had been taught to be careful of strangers, but it was different when it came to Lin Fan. They didn't have any wariness towards him.

So they all took the toys and candies that they wanted before turning to Yun Lan with pitiful looks.

Yun Lan's heart skipped a beat when she saw all of this before she took a deep breath and said, "Alright, I understand…"

Lin Fan was surprised that she would be so bold about this.

Yun Lan then said, "But I have a condition first."
