Cultivation Pet Shop-Chapter 856 Strange Customer

After Jun Xie left, there weren't many other customers that came to train their pets.

There were a few that were curious after seeing the results of the other people and decided to have their pet trained here, but the price was still what scared off most people since it was just too expensive.

But at the same time, the excitement from the first few days died down because everyone's curiosity had been fulfilled. So in the end, there were fewer customers that came to the store.

The new customers that came because this was a lively business street were all scared off because of the prices.

That was just the price of the training, so there was no need to mention the other things in the store. The prices of the pet food and the other elixirs in the store were even higher, so no one even gave them a second glance.

Just like this, Lin Fan's store settled into a lull where not many people wandered around.

But of course, there were still people that were here because they had been sent by various forces to watch over Lin Fan.

It didn't take much for people to find out that this store was bought by the Dongfang Family and was given to Lin Fan. Since this matter involved the Dongfang Family, naturally there were many people who wanted to watch over this store.

Everything went on as normal until the afternoon.

When a customer who was wearing a cloak came in, Lin Fan couldn't help feeling a strange feeling from this person.

With the aura that they released, it was almost as if they were trying to catch his attention. That was because the aura that they released was one that he was familiar with.

This aura was similar to the cloaked figure that had come to the meeting he had in the slum city.

This meant that this was someone from the Dongfang Family.

But if it was someone from the Dongfang Family, why would they be acting so secretive?

He had already established a relationship with the Dongfang Family and was in contact with Dongfang Ming. If they wanted to talk to him about something, they could just do so through Dongfang Ming.

There was no need for them to sneak around like this.

So who was this person and why were they here?

Could it be that something had happened with the Dongfang Family and they had sent this person in secret to contact him?

As this thought passed through his mind, Lin Fan couldn't help knitting his brows.

After thinking for a bit, Lin Fan stood up and left the counter to one of the people he hired that Dongfang Ming recommended. He walked over to where that cloaked person was and then stood beside them as they looked over the items in front of them.

The people in the store didn't really pay attention to him other than looking in his direction. After all, Lin Fan was currently pretending to be stocking the shelves which was a very normal thing for him to do.

However, what they didn't notice was that with a single flick of his hand, there were illusion and sound laws that formed a barrier around them.

These laws formed a barrier that completely obscured everyone's view of them while also negating all the sounds that they made. To everyone else, all it looked like was the two of them minding their own business, with one of them looking at the goods and the other one stocking the shelves.

After he did this, he asked in a calm voice, "Is there something wrong that you needed to do this to come to my store?"

The cloaked person hadn't noticed the barrier at first, but then when they saw that no one else turned in their direction, it wasn't hard for them to figure out what had happened.

They said in a calm voice as well, "It's nothing like that. I was just curious about this store that everyone was talking about, so I snuck out to take a look."

Lin Fan couldn't help being a bit surprised by this voice.

It wasn't because it was muffled with sound laws because he could see right through these sound laws and hear the real voice. It was because this was a voice that he recognized since he had heard it before at the meeting.

This was the voice of the young miss that had been at the meeting.

He never thought that he would meet her again this soon. 𝑓𝓇𝑒𝑒𝚠e𝘣𝓷𝘰ѵe𝑙.com

After he had come to the capital city, he had been acquiring information on his own since he knew that he would be at a disadvantage if he didn't know a single thing about the Dongfang Family.

While it was hard for him to gather information since he didn't have an information network set up here, he was still able to get some information. It wasn't that hard for him to learn some gossip about the Dongfang Family.

The most popular piece of gossip about the Dongfang Family was actually about one of the family's juniors.

That was because this junior was just too abnormal.

She was the young miss of the Dongfang Family, but her status in the family wasn't low. It was almost at the same level as the family head, which was why she was someone that everyone talked about.

When it came to the Dongfang Family, there wasn't a single person that didn't know young miss Dongfang.

So that was why Lin Fan was surprised to see her here.

After all, young miss Dongfang was one of the most important people in the Dongfang Family, not someone who should be walking around without a single guard. For her to show up here without a single guard, something had to be wrong.

After a long pause, Lin Fan finally said, "Is my store really that strange that even young miss Dongfang is interested in it?"

The cloaked figure couldn't help jolting when they heard this.

They turned to look at Lin Fan before slowly pulling back the hood of the cloak to reveal their true appearance.

Lin Fan was blown away when he saw this face.

It was a face that was almost on the same level as Angela, a face that could be considered perfect no matter which angle one looked at it from. It was a face that had large wide bright eyes, a perfectly carved nose, and cherry pink lips that were both delicate and tender. All of this was perfectly framed by her long black hair that flowed down to her shoulders.

Young miss Dongfang looked at Lin Fan with a smile before asking, "How did you know that it was me?"

Lin Fan was already used to beautiful faces like this, so after just being in a daze for a few seconds, he gave a cough before saying, "I have my ways."

Young miss Dongfang looked at Lin Fan with a thoughtful look as she said, "Is that so?" Then she looked around the store before saying, "I have to say that you have quite the strange things in your store, but…" After a pause, she continued, "Not a single item in your store is weak though. I can sense the strong energy coming from them."

She turned back to look at Lin Fan and asked, "Just who are you?"

Lin Fan just looked back at her with a smile and didn't say a thing.

Seeing that he wasn't willing to say anything, she gave a sigh and said, "Alright, since you're not willing to speak, then I won't ask anything else." 𝐟𝐫𝗲𝙚ｗ𝚎𝐛𝙣𝐨𝙫𝘦𝗹.c૦m

She changed the topic by saying, "What are you interested in?"

Lin Fan was taken aback by her sudden question, but then he said, "If I said that all I wanted to do was run this pet store in peace, would you believe me?"

She looked at him with narrowed eyes as if she was scrutinizing him, but then she said, "It doesn't matter what I believe, right? As long as you're willing to work with the Dongfang Family, that's all that matters."

Lin Fan narrowed his eyes before asking, "Why do you trust me this much?"

She gave a shrug and said, "I don't know either. All I know is that my instincts are telling me that you can be used."

Lin Fan's mouth twitched when he heard this as he said, "I don't know how I feel about being told that I can be used, but…" He turned to look at her before saying, "If you do trust me, that's enough for me."

This time, it was young miss Dongfang's turn to be surprised.

She had never looked at Lin Fan directly like this since she had only looked at him as a whole before. But when she saw his eyes staring right into her eyes, she couldn't stop her heart from skipping a beat.

She had never seen eyes that were as clear and bright as his were.

Not to mention his face, it wasn't just described with the word handsome.

As he kept staring at her, she couldn't help feeling a bit of heat in her face as a faint blush came over it.

Lin Fan also saw this and couldn't help asking in a concerned voice, "Are you alright? Your face is a bit flushed."

Young miss Dongfang immediately held her face and turned away before saying, "I'm feeling a bit ill today, so I'll be leaving first. But I look forward to working with you in the future."

Lin Fan nodded in a daze and was about to say something, but before he could say anything, she had already put on her hood and ran out of the store.

Right before she left his barrier, he made sure that the illusion being seen matched her running away.

Once she was gone, he couldn't help standing there in a daze wondering what had just happened.
