With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods



A day passed and it was time for them to set off again.

During the time that they had been in Dungeon City, General Lu had not left Mu Bao Bao alone.

She had no choice but to live in a separate residence during this time because General Lu wouldn't leave her alone.

But now that they were finally on the road again, she was able to stay with Lin Fan the entire time.

General Lu had a frown on his face when he saw this, but he didn't dare do anything since he knew how strongly Mu Bao Bao would reject his opposition.

So the only thing that he could do was accept this and move as quickly as possible to reach the capital as soon as possible.

But one thing that Lin Fan didn't understand was…why Elder Jian also looked at him with this disapproving look.

After all, there was no reason for him to be concerned with their relationship.

However, even then, it felt like Elder Jian disapproved for some reason.

But even if Elder Jian disapproved, it didn't seem like he was going to act. For now, there was nothing for them to worry about, all that mattered was getting to the capital.

To ensure that they traveled as quickly as possible, they were even going to leave the army behind. They would follow at their own pace and regroup with General Lu near the capital when they arrived.

With the quick travel speed of their small group, it didn't take long for them to arrive in the capital.

What should have been a trip that took at least a week was cut down to three days since they were all high level cultivators. In fact, the one that had been stalling them was Lin Fan who was the weakest out of all of them.

But Elder Jian made up for that with a transport artifact.

After arriving in the capital, General Lu showed the guards at the gate a decree and they were immediately let in.

However, they were separated by the guards after being let into the capital city.

Lin Fan was led one way by the guards while General Lu led Mu Bao Bao another way.

Mu Bao Bao had wanted to say something, but Elder Jian just gave a snort that immediately made her close her mouth. It was clear that he was suppressing her with his aura when he gave that snort so that she couldn't say a thing.

Lin Fan couldn't help knitting his brows when he saw this.

Could it be that he had been wrong about Emperor Mu?

Or could it be that the situation had changed?

However, it turned out to be neither of these things.

After being led by the guards, Lin Fan found himself in a room where both Emperor Mu and the fourth prince were waiting for him. When they saw him come in, they just gestured for him to sit down with them with smiles on their faces.

Lin Fan's lips twitched when he saw this, but he still sat down in the end.

However, as soon as he sat down, he asked, "What is this all about?"

The fourth prince couldn't help revealing an awkward look since he could hear the hostility in Lin Fan's voice.

He wanted to say something to ease the tension, but Emperor Mu just raised hi shand and stopped him.

Emperor Mu looked right at Lin Fan and said, "It is what you think it is. I borrowed some outside power and removed the power of the Five Great Sects from our Mu Empire." Then after a pause, he said, "It's better to say that I removed two of the Five Great Sects from our Mu Empire."

Lin Fan was a bit surprised by this, but he knitted his brows and didn't say anything at first. Instead, he narrowed his eyes to look at Emperor Mu, trying to see if he was lying at all.

But Emperor Mu just calmly looked right back at him.

Finally, Lin Fan took a deep breath and said, "How can you trust the outside power that you borrowed?"

Emperor Mu revealed a calm smile and said, "That's because I'm related to that power."

Lin Fan raised a brow to look at Emperor Mu while waiting for him to explain.

Emperor Mu didn't mind this as he slowly said, "Well, it's better to say that I married into that power. It's Bao Bao's mother, she's the one that comes from that power, so that's how I'm related to them."

When Lin Fan heard this, he couldn't help revealing a look of understanding.

From the way that General Lu acted, it was clear that he knew Elder Jian. However, how could General Lu know an expert like Elder Jian in the first place?

The only explanation was that they were related in some way.

And that way was Mu Bao Bao's mother.

General Lu had said that he served Mu Bao Bao's mother before and Emperor Mu had just confirmed that Mu Bao Bao's mother was related to the force that Elder Jian was from.

So all of this started to click into place.

But there was still one more thing that he had to ask, "Is Bao Bao's mother alright?"

For the first time, the smile on Emperor Mu's face showed cracks.

He had a calm smile on his face the entire time, but when he heard this question, he couldn't keep that smile on his face anymore.

Emperor Mu looked down in silence and after a while, he said with a sigh, "She's alright, but…"

His voice trailed off and he didn't say anything else as he just lowered his head in a depressed manner.

From this, Lin Fan could at least tell that Mu Bao Bao's mother was alive and well, but she was in a troublesome situation. At least for now, she wasn't able to move freely and be with her family.

Still, as long as she was alive, all problems could be solved later.

After another moment of silence, Emperor Mu suddenly said, "It's funny that you're in the same situation that I was once in before."

When Lin Fan heard this, He couldn't help revealing a confused look.

Emperor Mu explained, "It's very simple, they don't accept that you're with Bao Bao. You're not a part of their sect, you're an outsider, so you're not worthy of her."

he couldn't help knitting my brows after he said this because it reminded him of something that had bothered him before.

Elder Jian's disapproval of his relationship with Mu Bao Bao…

He didn't understand why Elder Jian would care about this in the first place, but now it seemed like all the pieces were connecting.

Elder Jian was from the outside power that Emperor Mu had relied on and that outside power was related to Mu Bao Bao's mother. Since Mu Bao Bao's mother was related to them, they would think of Mu Bao Bao as one of their own.

Since they regarded Mu Bao Bao as one of their own, that meant that they would care about who she ended up with.

Naturally, someone like Lin Fan would be looked down on.

In fact, if even someone like Emperor Mu was looked down on, it wasn't strange that they looked down on him.

However, there was something that he said that had bothered Lin Fan.

Sect.

He had said that they came from a sect.

So which sect did they mean?

Lin Fan couldn't stop this from bothering him, so he asked, "Which sect are you talking about?"

Emperor Mu looked at him with a depressed look for a bit before finally saying, "The Heavenly Demon Sect."

When Lin Fan heard this, he couldn't help revealing a shocked look.

He had never thought that it would be the Heavenly Demon Sect since that was one of the Five Great Sects.

One of the Five Great Sects had helped Emperor Mu drive out two other of the Five Great Sects from the Mu Empire…

Was the relationship between the Five Great Sects not as harmonious as he thought?

Well, the Heavenly Demon Sect wouldn't get along with the other sects since it was a demonic sect in the first place. However, it should at least respect the power of the other sects since they were all strong enough to be considered part of the Five Great Sect.

What was in the Mu Empire that would inspire the Heavenly Demon Sect to move like this?

It just didn't seem to make any sense.

Seeing that Lin Fan didn't say a thing, Emperor Mu said with a sigh, "I'm assuming that they will want Bao Bao to marry the holy son of the Heavenly Demon Sect. That is just how influential Bao Bao's mother's family is in the Heavenly Demon Sect."

This time, Lin Fan was double shocked…

That was because there was a personal connection and a not so personal connection to be drawn from this sentence.

First, this was an indirect warning from Emperor Mu about how influential Mu Bao Bao's mother's family was. Since they didn't approve, they would surely try to act to affect Lin Fan and Mu Bao Bao's relationship.

Second, the personal connection that Lin Fan had was…with Ye Tian Xie and Ye Qing Huan.

Ye Tian Xie was clearly someone powerful and he had a bit of a connection with him…well, not a bit after what had happened with Ye Qing Huan.

If he had to guess, Ye Tian Xie was most likely the holy son that they wanted Mu Bao Bao to marry…

So that meant that he would have to face all of the problems that he had created in the past this way…

This situation really didn't seem good for Lin Fan…
