With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods

Chapter 898 Uninvited guests

The place that had been prepared was a large courtyard that was quite well decorated, showing that this was quite the expensive place to buy or rent.

It showed that they put quite a bit of emphasis on Lin Fan as the envoy of the Mu Empire.

It showed that they were filled with respect towards him.

So Lin Fan didn't say anything as he headed into the courtyard with Duanmu Ming Xue.

As for the guards, they stood around the perimeter of the courtyard as if they were planning on standing guard all night.

As Lin Fan headed in, the captain said, "Sir envoy, please rest well. We'll make sure that nothing disturbs your rest."

Since he said this, it was clear that this guard captain and the rest of his men were planning to stand guard outside the courtyard all night.

If it wasn't for the fact that they had been so respectful, Lin Fan might have even suspected that they were doing this to trap him, to make sure that he wouldn't be able to escape.

Though Lin Fan had no intention of escaping in the first place.

With a wave of his hand, Lin Fan just dismissed the guard captain to allow him to do whatever he and his men wanted.

But though he acted so casually, this wasn't what he was actually thinking.

Instead, Lin Fan couldn't help thinking that this was quite suspicious.

If they weren't guarding against him, then they had to be guarding against something that was outside of this courtyard.

Were they afraid that someone would attack this place or was it something else?

Lin Fan took a moment to think about this, but he still threw it out of his mind in the end since there was nothing to gain from thinking too much about this. He didn't have enough information to understand what the intentions of the guards were.

The only thing that he could do now was...

"Greeny, it's your turn."

Since he didn't know what was happening, all that Lin Fan could do was create a net around the courtyard with Greeny's puppets. If anything were to happen, he would be able to immediately find out.

Perhaps he might even be able to get more information about the internal affairs of the Han Kingdom like this.

Once Greeny set up the net, Lin Fan turned to Duanmu Ming Xue to say, "Shall we head in and rest?"

She gave a nod of agreement, but there was a trace of worry that was in her eyes.

Lin Fan naturally saw this, so he said with a confident smile, "Don't worry, everything is under control."

Duanmu Ming Xue looked at him with a surprised look at first before slowly revealing a smile as well and giving a nod.

It seemed that the relationship between the royal family and the three founding families was actually worse than Lin Fan thought.

He thought that at most, they would be at the level where they would try to cause trouble for each other under the surface. He never thought that it reached the point where they even tried to recruit outside help to destroy each other.

Especially when he had stated that he was here on a mission to meet the Han Royal Family. Stay connected with empire

It seemed that they really couldn't hold back anymore.

It was just that...Lin Fan had no intention to cooperate with these three families.

While he might not have a grudge with the Ouyang Family, the fact that they were one of the three founding families along with the Duanmu and Bei Families meant that they shouldn't be anything good.

They had watched as Duanmu Ming Xue was married off to the prodigal young master of the Bei Family after all.

Once they had stated their intentions, all they could do now was wait and see what reaction Lin Fan had.

When the three from the three founding families saw that he didn't say anything and just calmly looked at them, it made them a bit worried. It made them worried that what they had offered wasn't enough and that this envoy of the Mu Empire would still go to the royal family.

There was also a part of them that wondered if they should directly kill this envoy and pin it on the royal family.

If they couldn't get him on their side, it was better for him to disappear.

If his disappearance could also cause trouble for the royal family, then it would be like killing two birds with one stone.

Only before they could make a move, Lin Fan spoke.

"It seems like we have some uninvited guests." He turned to Duanmu Ming Xue and asked, "What do you think that we should do with them?"

Before Duanmu Ming Xue could answer though, the three of them didn't hesitate any longer.

The moment that they heard how Lin Fan addressed them, they already knew what his decision was.

In that case, it didn't seem like there was anything left to discuss.

They would make him disappear to save themselves the trouble.

But Lin Fan just calmly raised his hand and gathered a veil of Clear Water in front of him.

The attacks that hit this veil of Clear Water disappeared in an instant, as if they had been wiped from existence.

All three from the three founding families were shocked to see this, but they didn't remain shocked as they turned as if they were about to run.

It was just that before they could run, there was this pressure that fell onto them that pinned them to the ground.

They found that they couldn't move a single inch under this pressure that was crushing them.
