nLin Fan was once again taken aback when he saw this pile of gold coins appear.

nThen after coming back to his senses, he felt even more confused as he asked Tian Tian, “This is?”

nTian Tian said, “This is the answer to your question.”

nLin Fan looked at the pile of gold coins on the table and after a rough estimate, he could tell that there were around five thousand gold coins here. However, what he couldn’t understand why Tian Tian would suddenly bring out five thousand gold coins.

nHow was this related to this matter?

nWait, five thousand?

nWasn’t that the exact amount that he had paid for Yue Lan’s debt?

nIf Tian Tian were to take out this amount of money while discussing this matter, did that mean…

nLin Fan looked back at Tian Tian with a serious look and seeing how relaxed her expression was, he got his answer.

nIt seemed like the Mercenary Guild would be standing on his side this time.

nLin Fan pointed at the gold coins on the table and asked, “What about all this money, what is going to happen to it?”

nTian Tian just said with a smile, “It’s yours in the first place, so you should take it back.”

nLin Fan slightly knitted his brows as he said, “But this was to pay for Yue Lan’s debt. If you just take it back like this…”

nTian Tian shook her head and said, “It’s fine, we’ve already taken care of that matter. The debt wasn’t legal in the first place, so it wasn’t that hard to break it. Not to mention, you’ve already gotten rid of all the documentation. There shouldn’t be a problem at all.”

nLin Fan still had those same knitted brows as he asked, “But what about that An Family?”

nTian Tian just calmly said, “We’ve already sent people to explain this matter to the An Family. They won’t cause any trouble with you.”

nLin Fan’s brows still didn’t relax, instead they knitted even more as he stared at Tian Tian with a confused look. Finally he couldn’t take it as he asked, “Why? Why did you do all this? I don’t think that it’s worth you doing all of this.”

nTian Tian couldn’t help smiling as she shook her head and said, “You really shouldn’t look down on yourself that much.” Then after a pause, she added, “But still, you’re right. This time, you can consider it a special repayment from us for the quest you did before.”

nLin Fan was even more confused.

nAfter all, they should have already paid him back by increasing his rank and allowing him to take B Rank quests. There shouldn’t be a need for them to repay him anymore for that, unless…

nThey were able to find something new in that cave…

nBut when Lin Fan left the cave, it was already empty.

nAfter thinking about it, Lin Fan decided not to think too deeply about this.

nWhatever the Mercenary Guild found in the cave wasn’t related to him, so it wasn’t something that he should care about. Rather, what he should care about now was what to do with Yue Lan.

nSo instead of asking questions about it, Lin Fan decided to accept the five thousand gold coins that Tian Tian brought out.

nHe waved his hand and took them all into his Pet Storage Space, but made it look like he put it into his Storage Ring.

nHowever, when he did so, Tian Tian couldn’t help knitting her brows.

nShe also had a Storage Ring which was provided by the Mercenary Guild, so she was familiar with the energy fluctuations that were released when it was being used. Right now, she didn’t feel those same energy fluctuations when Lin Fan made those gold coins disappear, but rather she felt a very different energy fluctuation.

nShe couldn’t help slightly knitting her brows as she looked at Lin Fan, but she chose to ignore it in the end.

nAfter all, in their line of business, everyone had their secrets and it wasn’t right for her to pry into Lin Fan’s secrets. Especially since she wanted to win him over to the Mercenary Guild side.

nFor now, they had a good relationship, so there really wasn’t a need to ruin that.

nAfter putting away the gold coins, there really wasn’t much else for the two of them to talk about, so Lin Fan left the Mercenary Guild to head back to the inn.

nAfter he left, there was someone else who came into the room that Tian Tian was still in.

nThis person looked at Tian Tian and asked, “Was it really worth it to do all that just for him?”

nTian Tian looked back at this person and said with a serious look, “Why do you think it’s not worth it?”

nThe person calmly said, “Even if he discovered those ruins, that doesn’t mean that he’s worth that much. All he was was lucky, it’s not like he has the skills worth this kind of treatment.”

nTian Tian didn’t reply with words to this, instead she gestured to the piece of paper in front of her.

nThis piece of paper hadn’t been there when Lin Fan was here and it had appeared during the short period after Lin Fan left and this person came in.

nThe person picked up the piece of paper and was confused at first when they looked at it, but after looking it through, their face was filled with more and more shock.

nThey looked back at Tian Tian and asked, “Are these results correct?”

nTian Tian just gave a nod without replying before changing the topic, “When the report came in, I saw that the one that he defeated was the guard leader from the An Family. That’s someone who has been in the Third Qi Gathering Level for a long time, he’s not someone who just reached the Third Qi Gathering Level could beat.”

nThen after a pause, she said, “As soon as he came, I had them set up the testing equipment in the other room, so there’s no mistake.”

nThe person looked at the piece of paper for a bit longer before saying, “It seems like it really is worth pulling him in then.” Then after a pause, she revealed a smile and said, “It’s no wonder you’re interested in him.”

nTian Tian didn’t show any embarrassment when she heard this and she just calmly said, “Well I can’t deny that he is interesting.”

nThe person revealed an interested look and said, “Oh, is it finally time? Mom has been worried for the longest time about you, but now it seems like it’s finally time.”

nIt was at this that Tian Tian’s expression finally changed to an annoyed one. She turned to look at this person and said, “Mom’s more worried about you, don’t you know that? After all, you’re older than me.”

nThat person just revealed a mischievous smile without saying anything.

nOf course the person that came in after was the president of the Mercenary Guild and Tian Tian’s older sister, Tian Xue.

n…

nIn another part of the city, inside a large manor.

nThe young master An Wei had just been brought back and had been treated by the doctor.

nHowever, after waking up and remembering everything that had happened, his first thought was rage. The first thing that he thought about was how to take his revenge.

n“That son of a b****, how dare he do this to me! Doesn’t he know that I’m the young master of the An Family! I will take that slut and do her in front of him before killing him just so he knows how much of a piece of trash he really is!”

nAs he roared out in rage, the door opened and an older man walked in.

nAn Wei had still been cursing when he came in, but the moment he saw who it was, he immediately closed his mouth.

nThis man was An Xian, the leader of their An Family and his father. Even if he acted like he had power, he knew that before he took over the An Family, it was his father who held all the power.

nBut the thing was that his father doted on him.

nIf there was anything that he wanted, his father would always give it to him. So while he was a bit worried that his father had just heard him cursing, he wasn’t that scared since he knew that his father would stand by his side.

nNot to mention that he had been injured by the other side.

nWith his father’s personality, he was sure that his father would take revenge for him.

nThe power of the An Family wasn’t to be underestimated, they were one of the four great families of this city for a reason.

nSo An Wei turned to An Xian with an expectant look, but he caught off guard by what happened next.

n,m Before he could even react, An Xian had raised his hand and slapped An Wei across the face.

nAn Wei just sat there in a daze, not understanding what had just happened. But when he came back to his senses, he broke out in tears and said, “Father, how could you hit me like that?”

nAn Xian’s face twisted even more when he heard this and he raised his hand to slap An Wei again, but before he could, his wife and An Wei’s mother came in to stop him, “Dear, you can’t hurt our child like this!”

nAn Xian looked at his wife and his son before giving a sigh.

nAfter that, he said, “You messed with someone you shouldn’t have messed with this time.”

nThe moment that An Wei heard this, he was shocked.
