BXBX NOVEL 350 Chapter 350
Xu Lin\'s group were stunned when they heard this.
They weren\'t stunned because of Lin Fan\'s request, rather they were stunned by Lin Fan\'s smile.
Compared to his usual smile, this "bad" smile was like night and day.
The smile didn\'t look evil at all, rather it made Lin Fan look even more handsome than he already was. Not to mention that he was already quite handsome…
When they saw this smile, they couldn\'t help being stunned by it.
Even Xu Lin, who was a man, felt a strange emotion fill his heart when he saw this smile.
Not to mention the two members of his party that were still standing. Both of them were girls…
Girls naturally liked handsome guys and the moment these girls saw this smile, they were almost willing to give Lin Fan everything, even themselves.
After all, he was just too handsome.
But then Xu Lin came back to his senses and revealed a difficult expression as he said, "Senior Lin, do you really mean this?"
Lin Fan saw this and he immediately gave what he considered was an "evil" laugh, but it was the same as last time.
It was like a flower blooming on a bright summer day, it was too dazzling to look at for the girls and their faces turned red immediately.
Xu Lin was once again stunned by this, but then he revealed a difficult look, "Senior Lin, this is a bit…"
He didn\'t finish his words and just trailed off, but it was clear what he was thinking.
Lin Fan then burst into laughter, but it was different from the "evil" laugh that he had shown before. Instead this was sincere laughter that came from Lin Fan\'s heart.
He wiped a tear from the corner of his eye before saying, "Now, there\'s no need to be that stiff. It was just a joke."
Xu Lin\'s expression froze on his face and his cheek couldn\'t help twitching a few times as he shouted on the inside, "What kind of a joke is this!?"
But of course, he would never say it out loud.
Xu Lin just revealed a smile and said, "Senior Lin truly has a great sense of humour, but this does involve the lives of my comrades, so…"
Lin Fan stopped laughing and looked back at Xu Lin with a look of praise.
This was a good leader, he cared very much for his subordinates, even though it was clear that this was a very bad situation for him.
Lin Fan then revealed a serious look and said, "Alright, that\'s not a problem. The thing is, I don\'t have as much information as I want on this place, so there are a few questions that I want to ask you. As long as you promise to answer my questions to the best of your ability, we\'ll help you."
When he heard this, unlike the happy or relieved look that Lin Fan thought Xu Lin would reveal, he knitted his brows even more compared to before. It was clear that he had some problem with this.
Xu Lin hesitated a bit before saying, "Senior Lin, giving you information is fine, but can you please tell me what kind of information you\'re asking for?"
Lin Fan looked at Xu Lin for a bit after hearing this before shaking his head in disappointment.
He thought that Xu Lin was someone that he would like based on how he had done his best to protect his teammates earlier, but it was clear that this wasn\'t the case. He was still someone who cared about his own benefits in the end.
But that did make sense since that was how the cultivation world was.
In the end, the most important thing was one\'s life and it was clear that Xu Lin was hiding some important information.
During the fight, the two girls had looks of surprises on their faces as Xu Lin fought with the Platinum Realm tiger. This clearly showed that they didn\'t know about his Platinum Realm pet, which meant that he had something he couldn\'t reveal to others.
Still, Lin Fan said with a serious look, "No, the deal is very simply put in front of you. You can either answer the questions or we\'ll be on our way."
Xu Lin felt a chill run down his back when he heard this.
This voice was different from the friendly voice that Lin Fan had been using the entire time, this voice finally showed his prestige as a Soul Realm Expert.
The tone of Lin Fan\'s voice made it very clear, he could either answer the questions or Lin Fan had no reason to stay.
That was the truth of this world, with power, one could act willful.
Lin Fan wasn\'t a charity, he had already saved their lives once, there was no reason for him to continue saving them.
On the side, Momonga gave an approving nod.
It seemed like his plan had worked in the end, this Lin Fan was completely different from before.
Finally Xu Lin gave a sigh and said, "Senior, we accept your deal."
To put it simply, he had no other choice in this matter.
If he rejected this deal, even if he abandoned the rest of his team, it would be hard for him to escape. There were still plenty of Platinum Realm beasts around and there was a very likely chance that he would since he had already spent most of his power fighting the Platinum Realm tiger.
Lin Fan gave a nod, but he was no longer as friendly as before.
In the end, Xu Lin had let him down and he was no longer as interested in him as before. The only thing that Lin Fan cared about was the information he could get from him.
Lin Fan turned to Angela and said, "Can you heal them?"
Angela looked at the two injured kids on the ground and with a wave of her hand, a gust of wind came over them. As soon as the wind made contact with them, their wounds healed at a visible rate until they completely disappeared.
The other three kids were shocked when they saw this, but then they came to accept it.
There were all kinds of abilities when it came to cultivation since the great path was filled with many different paths to travel. There was no set path to the great path, since all paths eventually led to the great path.
It didn\'t take long for the two injured kids to wake up, but they woke up at the wrong time.
Once they woke up, Lin Fan turned to look at Xu Lin and said with a smile, "Now I think it\'s time for you to pay up."
This smile wasn\'t the same "evil" smile from before, this was his normal smile. The smile that made him look like the definition of a scammer.
Xu Lin revealed a bitter smile when he saw this, but he knew that he had no choice since he couldn\'t beat Lin Fan, so he said, "Senior Lin, please ask any questions you have."
Lin Fan nodded before asking, "First, tell me about the layout of the Green Mist Forest."
Xu Lin was taken aback when he heard this. He took a minute to look over Lin Fan and when he saw that Lin Fan wasn\'t kidding, he couldn\'t help asking, "Senior Lin, is this a serious question?"
Lin Fan was surprised when he heard this since he could tell something was off, but he still said, "Why do you say that?"
Xu Lin took out a map from his Spatial Ring which he handed to Lin Fan and said, "That\'s because this is something that everyone has access to. It\'s freely given out by most organizations since this is a public resource area."
Lin Fan narrowed his eyes as he looked over the map and he could tell that it was indeed quite a detailed map of the area. He was able to easily find the area that they were currently in based on their surroundings.
Lin Fan\'s lips couldn\'t help twitching as he asked, "Does that include the Seekers Guild?"
Xu Lin was even more confused when he heard this, but he still said, "The Seekers Guild should give out the most copies of this map since the seekers from there are the ones that enter these forests the most. In fact, we\'re seekers ourselves and we got our map from the Seekers Guild in Harmony City."
Lin Fan had three black lines appear on his head as he cursed the receptionist that he had met at the Seekers Guild.
Back at the Seekers Guild, that same receptionist suddenly gave a sneeze.
One of her coworkers asked, "Are you getting a cold?"
That receptionist rubbed her nose before saying, "Could it be that someone is talking about me behind my back?"
Lin Fan didn\'t bother with this anymore and just took the map. Xu Lin was happy to hand it over since they still had more copies in the Spatial Rings of his teammates.
Lin Fan continued asking several more questions, but they all took Xu Lin by surprise because they all involved common knowledge in this upper realm. It was something that everyone knew already…
Could it be that this senior had been in closed door cultivation this entire time and literally lived under a rock?
Lin Fan nodded as he listened to the answers, they provided quite a bit of information for him and how he wanted to act in the future.
But then he decided to punish Xu Lin since he was acting like he was a bumpkin the entire time, even though he technically was.
Lin Fan asked, "Well, this is a question you won\'t want to answer, but what is with your pet?"
At this, Xu Lin\'s expression changed.
