Chapter 383 - 383: Star Hunters



After that meeting upstairs, Lin Fan came back down into the main hall.

He still had other things to do, so he was planning to leave right away, but before he could, Xiao Ling stopped him.

Xiao Ling pulled him over to the counter and made him stand in front of it as she asked, "How did it go? What did the president want?"

Lin Fan revealed a faint smile when he heard this, "So you knew after all."

Xiao Ling also revealed a smile as she said, "You shouldn't underestimate the information system of a girl. But of course, I'm the one who gave you the mission wasn't I? If I didn't know, that really would be too negligent."

Lin Fan felt it was right, Xiao Ling should have known about this already since she worked for the Seekers Guild. Of course, she never told him also because of the rules of the Seekers Guild, but if he already knew, there was no need for her to keep a secret anymore.

Lin Fan then asked, "Why are you so curious about this?"

Xiao Ling muttered, "Well I want to make sure that I keep my investment." But she said it in a low voice that Lin Fan couldn't hear.

Then she said in a normal voice, "It seems like the Qiao Family has already gotten to you. It should be qualifications for the Hunters Exam like you wanted with how relaxed you seem, but to do that…"

Lin Fan was surprised to hear this since this definitely wouldn't be in the information that the Seekers Guild gave Xiao Ling. So how did she learn this? Or was she just that smart that she was able to guess it?

Lin Fan asked, "How do you know all of this?"

Xiao Ling once again said with a faint smile, "Don't worry about it. I told you, you shouldn't underestimate the information system of a girl."

Then she began talking to herself again, "But to do all this, it must mean that they brought out a Star Hunter. To even bring out a Star Hunter, they must really be investing in you or they would want something else…" After saying this, she turned to Lin Fan and asked, "Tell me, is there anything else they wanted from you? Anything in particular?"

Lin Fan had to admit that the senses of a girl were quite sharp.

After giving an awkward cough, Lin Fan didn't answer this question as he tried changing the topic. There was something that he was actually interested in from what Xiao Ling said just now, "Star Hunter? What is that?"

Xiao Ling looked at Lin Fan in surprise and seeing that real confused look on his face, she realized that he wasn't joking and she was even more surprised.

Xiao Ling said in a voice filled with disbelief, "You're telling me that you want to take the Hunters Exam and you don't even know what the Star Hunters are? Are you joking or are you actually serious?"

Lin Fan just gave a small nod and said, "I really don't know."

Xiao Ling put her head in her palm before asking, "You don't even know about this?"

Lin Fan just gave a nod with an awkward look on his face.

Xiao Ling shook her head and gave a sigh before saying, "You're trying to take the Hunters Exam without even knowing this, you really are something. Well, to put it simply, the Star Hunters are those that have excellent records in their fields and because of that, they will receive up to three stars based on how much they've accomplished. They are considered the most elite members of the Hunters Organization."

Lin Fan gave a nod to show he understood, but he still didn't fully get it.

Xiao Ling saw this and continued, "Don't look down on them just because they are focused on their fields. To reach the peak in one's field requires one to have enough abilities to reach that peak, so not a single Star Hunter is weak. The Three Star Hunters are the best of the best in the Hunters Organization and are the ones who make up the council that run the entire organization. Since they are the ones that run the organization, you can be sure that not one of them is weak."

Lin Fan finally seemed to understand how this Hunters Organization worked and he had to admit that it seemed better than the other organizations.

Instead of being like the other organizations where there was a single sect master or leader, this Hunters Organization allowed those that were skilled to directly rise to the top of the organization.

It was almost like the democratic system on earth compared to the dictator system that most of the forces in this world followed.

Lin Fan couldn't help asking, "Then do you know what level the backer of the Qiao Family is at?"

Xiao Ling looked at Lin Fan with a bit of surprise when she heard this before lowering her voice, "This isn't considered classified information, but this definitely isn't information that is freely available. It's not something that I can give you that easily for free, you should know what I mean, right?"

Lin Fan knew that this was coming when he asked this, so he asked, "What do you want?"

Xiao Ling once again revealed a smile as she said, "You're as smart as you are handsome, I like that about you. Very good, I just want you to protect me or my family once if the need ever comes up. With how talented you are, there's no doubt that you'll become an expert, so investing in you early is always a good idea."

Lin Fan thought about it before giving a nod. Even if she didn't ask for this, Lin Fan was willing to help Xiao Ling because of all the help she had given him previously.

Once Xiao Ling got this promise from Lin Fan, she immediately said with a smile, "You really are something special, I wouldn't mind giving myself to you."

It was too bad for Lin Fan that Angela had really sharp hearing, so he immediately felt a chill coming from behind him.

Lin Fan only revealed a bitter smile before saying, "Please stop teasing me."

Xiao Ling gave a wink and said, "Who said I'm teasing?"

Lin Fan gave an awkward cough and said nothing else.

Xiao Ling saw that it wouldn't work anymore, so she went into the main topic.

Xiao Lin revealed a serious look as she said, "As far as I know, the Qiao Family has quite a powerful person backing them. It's said that the previous generation family head was a Two Star Hunter and a Nascent Soul Realm Expert."

Then she paused before saying, "Well, "was" is the wrong way to put it since they are still an active hunter. The previous generation family head used to be a Food Hunter and it's said that he loves finding new dishes all the time, which was why he gave the position of family head to the current family head. He spends most of his time traveling around the realm, finding new delicacies."

Lin Fan fell into thought when he heard this and the person that appeared in his mind right away was Qiao Yi Fei's grandfather, the old man.

While he seemed like a carefree person, Lin Fan could tell that he was an expert from his aura. It was the second strongest aura that he had felt in this realm, only being below Qing Ao, though it wasn't that much lower.

Lin Fan even believed that this information was wrong and that the old man had already broken through to the True Soul Realm, but he had no proof of this at all.

Lin Fan didn't say much in response to this and seeing this, Xiao Ling also remained silent.

After finally coming out of his thoughts, Lin Fan said, "Thanks, that really is helpful." And then he immediately turned to leave, leaving behind a stunned Xiao Ling.

She couldn't help pouting her lips a bit when she saw this.

No matter what, she was still considered a beauty, but Lin Fan was leaving her just like this?

How could she accept this?

So Xiao Ling pulled on Lin Fan's sleeve and stopped him.

Lin Fan turned around with a confused look.

Xiao Ling revealed what she considered her most beautiful smile and said, "Are you really just going to leave just like this? You're not going to give me a special goodbye at all?"

Lin Fan was even more confused, "Special goodbye? What do you mean?"

As Lin Fan was confused, Xiao Ling took the chance to lean in, bringing her lips close to Lin Fan's face. However, before she could truly make contact, there was a chill that fell over her that pushed her back in her seat.

It was so overpowering that she couldn't help even taking a step back.

Looking around, Xiao Ling couldn't find where it was coming from at all, but she knew that the source of this chill was nearby.

So since she had no chance to take advantage of this situation, she could only give up.

But she wasn't someone that gave up too easily, so she threw behind a few words to Lin Fan, "Even if you have a girlfriend or a fiancee, I'm more than willing to be a mistress if you're willing."

There was no doubt that she was hit with the same strong chill again and this time, the danger Lin Fan felt was even greater than before.

Lin Fan quickly gave a nod to Xiao Ling before dragging Angela out of the Seekers Guild before she killed Xiao Ling.
