Cultivation Pet Shop

When they arrived at the entrance of the tunnel, they were stopped by the guards that were there.

However, when he showed them the documents that Zhong Jun had given him, they all revealed looks of reverence as they looked at him.

They knew what these documents were for, so naturally they were filled with reverence. After all, of the people that could leave this slum city and head to the capital, not a single one of them was simple.

So their tone immediately changed as soon as they saw these papers and they respectfully showed Lin Fan the way to the transport area.

When Lin Fan arrived, he couldn't help revealing a faint smile.

That was because this transport area was just like the one that he had used when he had gone from the Blue Star Planet to the Galactic Humanity Alliance. Back then he had also taken a tunnel that had led from the Blue Star Planet to the Galactic Humanity Alliance.

But this time was different since that was a tunnel between two different planets and this was just a tunnel that led up to the sky.

The capital of the Mu Stellar Kingdom was built up in the clouds while the slum city was built on the ground below it, which was how they were able to dump all their trash down into the slum city.

As for why it was built up in the clouds, that was because this planet had a strange atmosphere where spiritual energy rose and gathered in the sky. Since that was the place where the most spiritual energy gathered, naturally it was also the place that they had built their city.

The tunnel trip didn't last that long, since it was only a short transport tunnel that led from the slum city to the capital city.

In fact, if they wanted, they could have installed teleportation portals instead since it was only a short distance. But that just showed how much they looked down on these people in the slum city.

When they arrived in the capital, they were welcomed by guards as well. However, unlike the guards from before, they were treated completely differently.

After confirming their documents, they were rudely pushed out of the transport room and were led out of the building. There were no explanations at all, they just directly forced them to leave as if they didn't want anything to do with them.

But that made sense since the guards on the two different sides were from different places.

The guards that were on this side were members of the royal army while the guards on the other side were guards that were recruited in the slums. Naturally no one from the capital was willing to head to the slums, so they could only recruit people from the slums to guard the gate on that side.

To those guards from the slums, Lin Fan and Xin'er were like heroes. They had crawled their way out of the slums and had found a way to make it all the way to the capital city. They were examples of what they wanted to become one day.

But for these guards from the royal army, they naturally had their pride as people from the capital city.

So when they saw these people that came from the slums, even if they had permission to come out of the slums and arrive at the capital city, they still looked down on them as dirty people from the slums.

Lin Fan could see all of this, but he didn't care.

This was only temporary and once he left this place, he would never have to think about it again.

The only worry that he had was that Xin'er would be affected by this, but she was completely lost in the sights around her. Even if this building that they were in wasn't the most luxurious building, it was still a building from the capital and was much more luxurious than anything that she had seen before.

She had even acted this way when Lin Fan had brought her to the office for the first time.

Of course, that wasn't the first time since she had been there before as Min'er, but back then she had been threatened by Xia Liu's gang and couldn't properly look around.

But before they were escorted out by the guards, there was someone that came over.

The guards had confused looks so it was clear that they didn't recognize this person. Lin Fan also revealed a confused look since he also didn't recognize this person. As for Xin'er, it was natural that she wouldn't recognize anyone from the capital city.

However, this person came right up to Lin Fan and even waved his hand as he said, "Young master Lin, I've been waiting for you."

The guards didn't treat this person kindly since he was acting in a friendly manner with this person from the slums. This was a matter of pride for them since if even this person from the slums had a higher status for them, then what had their lives been for?

So one of the guards came forward to stop this person.

The guard raised his weapon and pointed it right at this person as he said, "Stand down. This isn't a place for you to act as you wish."

The person narrowed his eyes to look at this guard and when he did, there was a trace of coldness that appeared in his eyes. This cold look sent a chill down the spine of the guard and he almost dropped the weapon in his hand as they started shaking.

That person then said, "And it's your place to speak?"

The guard's face turned red from being shamed like this and he was about to become angry out of shame, but then his expression froze. However, it wasn't just this one guard, but all of the other guards as well.

All of them had looks of shock on their faces as they looked at the token that this person was holding up.

That was because they knew what this token was and what it represented. The fact that this person had this token meant that this was a person that they couldn't offend since this person was here on behalf of the family behind this token.

After a temporary moment of shock, the guards immediately all ignored Lin Fan and bowed down in front of this person.

The guard that had tried to stop this person even kowtowed on the ground while trembling as he said in a shaky voice, "It…it was…was my…my mistake. Please…don't take…take offense…and spare me."

That person completely ignored this guard and turned his attention back to Lin Fan. He revealed a smile and said, "Young master Lin, I've been waiting a long time, but you're finally here. I was sent by the family to come and pick you up and bring you to your new store."

After hearing this, all of the guards looked at Lin Fan with a different expression.

Gone were the looks of disdain and they had been replaced with looks of shock and disbelief.

After all, they couldn't understand how someone like Lin Fan who came from the slums could be related to this noble family…

Plus, they could see that based on the way that the person with the token treated Lin Fan, it was clear that Lin Fan was in a higher position. This person with the token was just here to serve Lin Fan…

When they realized this, they all felt a cold chill run down their backs…

If he were to take revenge over what had happened just now…none of them would be able to survive at the end of the day.

But it wasn't as if they could beg for their lives at this point.

So all they could do was wait and hope that Lin Fan would spare them.

Lin Fan only now had the time to look at this person carefully since before this, he had been surrounded by the guards.

This person was a young man who was dressed in a clean robe and had slicked back hair. It was clear that this person was very professional based on the way that he was dressed and Lin Fan had an even better impression of the noble family behind the Swift Lightning Gang.

Lin Fan gave a nod to this neatly dressed person and said, "Yes, sorry to make you wait."

The neatly dressed person quickly waved his hand and said, "No, no, you have nothing to apologize for. I'm sure that it was the fault of others that you were delayed."

As the guards heard this, they couldn't help crying silent tears.

They had actually tried to get Lin Fan out as soon as possible since they didn't want some dirty person from the slum city like him in their place.

Lin Fan just shook his head and said, "I just didn't know that you were waiting or I would have come sooner."

Then without caring about the guards, he started walking forward towards the neatly dressed man. The neatly dressed man saw this and raised his hand to guide Lin Fan along.

When the guards saw this, they all let out a sigh of relief, but that didn't last long.

Before they left, the neatly dressed man suddenly asked, "Young master Lin, what should we do about these people?"

Once again, they felt the sense of danger come over them and they lowered their heads once again.

But Lin Fan didn't care about them.

While he felt that this neatly dressed person was being a bit pushy with this matter, he knew that this was because of the orders that he received. He was most likely told to please Lin Fan in any way that he could and he had seen how the guards had treated him, so for him, this was an easy way to leave a good impression on Lin Fan.

But that wasn't what Lin Fan wanted since he wanted to keep a low profile.

He knew that these guards were soldiers in the royal army and even if the noble family behind the Swift Lightning Gang could keep things under wraps, he didn't want to do anything to these guards. After all, he would be creating bad relations if he were to do anything to these guards and at the same time…

The real goal of the neatly dressed man was to indirectly make Lin Fan more reliant on the family behind him.

If the family behind him took care of this matter, the royal guards would know that Lin Fan was related to that family. If Lin Fan's cooperation with that family broke down and relations between them were shattered, then the royal guards would be able to take revenge on Lin Fan.

This was all a ploy to push Lin Fan closer to the family behind him.

But Lin Fan just said, "I just want to get to the store as soon as possible, I don't care about this place at all."

Since Lin Fan had spoken, the neatly dressed man could only comply with him and he guided him out of this building.

Behind them, all of the guards let out a sigh of relief and at the same time, they felt a bit of gratitude towards Lin Fan. After all, if it wasn't for him, none of them would have survived today.

However, after calming down, they couldn't help wondering who that young man was.

He was someone that even someone from that family had to be polite to, so why did he come from the slums?

Could it be that something was happening that they didn't know about?

When they thought of this, they immediately stopped thinking about it further and returned to their jobs.

There was nothing for them to gain from getting involved in this matter, so they chose to turn a blind eye and forget everything.

But not all the guards were like this.

Some of the guards were spies for some noble families and they had taken note of this matter.
