A month after Yue Lan arrived at the village, Lin Fan was finally making a trip back to Sunset City.
Over this past month, he had been busy with many different things in the village.
He had thought that he would be able to leave the matters of the village chief to Yue Lan, but she actually had too much on her plate managing the new businesses that Lin Fan had come up with. So Lin Fan had no choice but to take care of the village chief duties until she could find someone else to take over.
In fact, she was also running low one subordinates since she still needed people to run the store and she didn't have enough trained people to bring over here with her.
So Lin Fan also had to help out with many different things.
Throughout the month, he had been running around all day. He worked on the village chief duties in the morning and helped Yue Lan in the afternoon and nights.
Other than working, there was only eating and sleeping.
He was so tired that he didn't even have time for nightly activities, but there was no pent up libido since he had been running ragged all day.
This trip back to Sunset City was to report back to the Mercenary Guild and also to help promote his new dungeon town business.
After a month of building, the village now looked completely different from how it looked before.
Just in terms of area, the village was twice as large as before. With how big it was now, it really was hard to keep calling it a village, so they came up with the idea of a dungeon town instead.
As for the name of the town, they hadn't decided yet, Lin Fan was sure that it wouldn't take them that long to come up with a name.
He was heading to Sunset City at this time because it was the end of summer now and it would be the fall harvest season soon. If he were to wait until that time, he would just be too busy to come.
When they arrived in Sunset City, the guards greeted him in a friendly manner since it had been a while since they had last seen him. Not to mention that he had brought along the cute Duanmu Yi that all of the guards pampered.
She really was a cute little girl after dressing up, so cute that these men couldn't help themselves.
After they arrived in Sunset City, everyone headed off to different places.
Yue Lan went back to the store while Lala and Xiao Yue brought Xiao Yi to their residence. That just left Lin Fan to head to the Mercenary Guild alone.
When he came in, he was immediately pulled in by Tian Tian who had seen him walking in.
She brought him over to the counter and asked in a worried voice, "What took you so long? Wasn't it just a simple mission? Did something happen?"
She had thought that it would take him no more than a few days to go there and back, but now a month had already passed, so naturally she couldn't help being worried.
After what happened last time, she was worried that he might have been attacked again.
Lin Fan raised his hand to stop her before taking her hand and patting the back of her hand to calm her down. Once she was calm, he said, "It's nothing like that, I just found something there that was interesting, so I stayed a bit longer."
Tian Tian was a bit angry from shame after hearing this, so she pursed her lips to say, "Is it another girl?"
Lin Fan was taken aback, but he quickly waved his hand and said, "No, no, it's nothing like that."
Then he was about to start explaining the dungeon town concept, but before he could, Tian Tian broke out in laughter.
She then said, "What are you so worried about? Don't you already have other women beside you? What's wrong if you got another one?"
Lin Fan was stunned when he heard this.
That was right, he had already made a harem in this world and the girls in his harem all accepted this. So why wouldn't they be able to accept another member of that harem if he did get another girl?
The only reason he had panicked was because he had been caught off guard by Tian Tian's slight jealous tone.
After standing there in a daze for a few seconds, he suddenly revealed a faint smile and said in an evil voice, "Teasing me like this, it seems like I'll have to teach you a lesson tonight."
Tian Tian's face turned red when she heard this, but she didn't reject him.
During this whole time, there had been a warm feeling filling her heart.
Seeing how he had panicked when she had revealed a jealous tone, she knew that he had only acted this way because he really cared for her. Even though he wanted a harem, he was a man who cared about each girl in his harem unlike those pieces of trash that just wanted them for their bodies.
This was why she and the others were so willing to be in his harem.
After they finished teasing each other, Lin Fan returned to the main topic.
He told her about what had happened in the village and the truth behind the mission.
By the end of it, Tian Tian had deeply knitted brows, but she also quickly released them. After all, Lin Fan had already taken care of the ones that had posted the mission and it wasn't in the Mercenary Guild's best interests to continue pursuing this matter.
So she chose to approve the completion of this mission for Lin Fan since he did technically take care of the situation, even if it wasn't the result that was expected. Not to mention that the ones that had requested this mission were already dead.
The reward had already been deposited, so it was the least Tian Tian could do.
After all, it would look bad for Lin Fan's record if he were to fail this mission and this mission was one that Tian Tian had asked Lin Fan to take.
After taking care of that, Lin Fan also reported the dungeon that he had found under the town.
Once she finished listening to his report, Tian Tian couldn't help asking, "Dungeon, do you mean those things from the magic continent?"
Lin Fan couldn't help repeating, "Magic continent? There's a magic continent?"
Tian Tian gave a nod before asking, "Don't you know about the magic continent? Then how do you know about the dungeon?"
Lin Fan calmly replied, "There was a plaque that was on the entrance of the dungeon that explained what it was."
Then after that, he also took out a sword that he put on the table before continuing, "This is something that I found after exploring it."
Tian Tian leaned in to take a closer look at this sword and after a few seconds of looking it over, she suddenly revealed a surprised look as she said, "This is!" She then picked it up and started examining it more carefully as her face started filling up with shock.
After a few moments of silence, she suddenly looked up at Lin Fan and said, "Can you wait a minute? I want to let our appraiser take a look at this."
This was exactly what Lin Fan wanted to see, so there was no need for him to deny this request.
It didn't take long for Tian Tian to bring back the Mercenary Guild's appraiser.
When the appraiser came over, the look on his face made it clear that he didn't think that it was worth his time to come over to the counter. However, after he took his first look at the sword, his expression immediately changed.
His eyes filled with the same shock and disbelief that Tian Tian had as he picked up the blade and started looking at it from different angles.
After a long period of silence, he turned to Tian Tian and asked, "Where did you find this?"
Tian Tian shook her head and pointed at Lin Fan.
It was only then that the appraiser turned his gaze to Lin Fan.
He had treated Lin Fan as if he didn't exist the entire time, but now that he had to acknowledge him, he turned to him with an arrogant look and asked, "Where did you find this?"
Lin Fan just gave a shrug and said, "Who knows?"
The appraiser had a look of rage flash on his face, but he quickly calmed himself down and said, "It's your lucky day, I'm interested in this item."
Tian Tian knitted her brows when she heard this, but seeing the same look of dissatisfaction on Lin Fan's face, she chose not to say anything.
The appraiser continued in his arrogant voice, "Name your price, I want to buy this item. As long as you don't go overboard, I can make you a very wealthy man."
Lin Fan shook his head and said, "I've already decided to sell it to the Mercenary Guild."
The appraiser knitted his brows and looked at Lin Fan in a threatening manner, "Are you sure about that? Do you know what it means to go against what I want?"
Lin Fan just gave a soft snort and said, "I don't even know who you are."
The appraiser gave a cough and was about to introduce himself, but Lin Fan raised his hand and said, "I'm also not interested in knowing who you are."
A vein popped out on the appraiser's forehead and his face turned red in shame. He said in a dark voice, "You will come to regret this decision."
Then he turned to leave without even looking back.
Tian Tian gave a laugh after he was gone before saying, "That really was satisfying! I was so tired of seeing that guy walk around like he owned the place! He's always acting like he's better than everyone and he's broken the Mercenary Guild's rules many times by trying to buy the items that he appraised. He doesn't seem to understand that he's the one working for the Mercenary Guild and not the other way around."
Lin Fan slightly knitted his brows as he asked, "Then why do you still keep him here?"
Tian Tian gave a sigh and said, "Even if he does act arrogant, his skills are real. It's not easy finding a good appraiser, especially since most people aren't willing to take that job."
Lin Fan gave a nod to show he understood.
This was a world that was ruled by power, people weren't willing to learn a powerless occupation like appraising unless they didn't have a choice.
After that matter was settled, Tian Tian said with a serious look, "I need to discuss this with my sister first. Can you wait until tomorrow for our decision on how to handle this?"
Lin Fan didn't mind, so he just gave a nod in response.
