With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods-Chapter 175 Brilliant Light City (2)
The walls of Brilliant Light City soared up into the sky. When he came close enough, it was even tall enough to completely block the sun that was behind the wall.
This wall was at least three times as tall as the walls of Sunset City!
It was no wonder this was considered one of the five main cities of the Mu Empire!
This was also seen when it came to the number of people that were trying to enter Brilliant Light City.
Once they came close enough, they found that there was a large line that was in front of them. This line spread out for half a mile out in front of the city gates and even when it shrank as people went in, there would be others to take the place of the ones who went in.
But since it was a big city, there were plenty of staff that were assigned to the gate and it didn't take long for them to arrive at the checkpoint.
The guards didn't act surprised at all to see their large carriage and just called out the leader of the caravan.
Normally one would think that Lin Fan was the leader of the caravan, but the actual leader was one of Yue Lan's subordinates. This woman was a beautiful and mature lady by the name of Ouyang Qian.
She was the most trusted right hand of Yue Lan and had done many things for her. It was only someone like her who could take the reins of an important branch in this main city. Not to mention that she was also chosen by Yue Lan to support Lin Fan in his mission here.
So the guards were caught off guard when they saw this beautiful woman coming forward to talk to them.
However, since it was a beautiful woman, they didn't make it hard for them and quickly finished their checks. There really wasn't a problem since Ouyang Qian had all the papers to show that they were here to build a branch shop, not to mention that the contract had already been signed, so the branch shop had already been built.
But before they could go through the gates, one of the guards suddenly called out, "Stop!"
Everyone turned to look at the guard who was standing in front of this strange looking orb.
The guard looked up and then pointed at Lin Fan before saying, "This one is a high grade cultivator, we need to register him first."
Everyone turned to Lin Fan after this was said and there were a few hostile looks among the guards.
Lin Fan on the other hand was confused when he heard this and he couldn't help asking, "How did you know that I was a cultivator?"
He had been hiding his cultivation and unless it was a high grade cultivator like him, it would be hard for them to notice that he was a cultivator.
Of course, he had done this purposefully to avoid drawing any attention to himself while he was handling his investigations. He never expected to be exposed this easily.
Ouyang Qian knew that this was a bad situation, so she came forward towards the captain of this guard team to say, "I'm sorry, it's our first time in Brilliant Light City and we didn't know that high grade cultivators had to register first."
But the guards didn't back down that easily.
One of the guards even came forward to the captain to say, "Captain, we should detain this person. He's clearly very suspicious."
As he said this, Lin Fan could see that there was a look of envy in his eyes. It was clear that this guard was unhappy that Ouyang Qian was standing up for him.
But to his surprise, the captain said, "You're thinking too much. It's clearly their first time and he must not have known the rules, it's not something to make a big deal of."
During this entire time, he hadn't looked at Lin Fan once while he was talking. His eyes had never left Ouyang Qian as he said this with a smile.
There was a difference in treatment between the two of them and it was clear that the captain's methods got the better reaction.
Ouyang Qian knew full well how to use her charms, so she came forward to take the captain by the arm and leaned in slightly, showing off just the faint crevice between her peaks. She then said with a smile, "Captain, thank you for your understanding."
The captain who received the brunt of this charm attack had a red look on his face as he said with a silly smile, "Of course, of course, it's just part of the job." But as he said this, his eyes never left the crevice that had been revealed in front of him.
After a long while, the captain finally came back to his senses and he gave a cough before turning to wave his hand at Lin Fan. He then said, "Come and let's get you registered."
Lin Fan and Ouyang Qian followed the captain into the building while the rest of their caravan waited by the gate.
As they passed the guard from before who had given the warning, the guard captain stopped in front of the orb that he had been looking at before. He then said, "As for your question of how we noticed that you were a high grade cultivator, this is how."
He pointed at the orb and said, "This is a special item that was created by the array department of the City Lord Manor.
While I don't know how it works exactly, I do know that there is a special array in there that can check for spiritual energy, especially the spiritual energy of high grade cultivators.
The way he said this made it very clear that he was showing off.freℯ𝓌e𝚋𝐧𝘰vℯl.𝐜𝚘𝗺
In fact, when he said this, he had been looking at Ouyang Qian the entire time.
However, Ouyang Qian was also a professional when it came to this, so she revealed a bright eyed look and said, "That really is amazing!"
The guard captain puffed out his chest as if she was praising him and said a few words to make himself look better before bringing Lin Fan and Ouyang Qian inside.
He had one of his subordinates take care of Lin Fan's registration while he went to the side to chat with Ouyang Qian. f𝘳ℯℯ𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧oν𝑒Ɩ.c𝑜𝙢
While they were chatting, the guard captain asked in a very casual manner, "So are there any relations between you and this young master?"
While it seemed like he was only speaking casually, it was clear by the look in his eyes that he cared about Ouyang Qian's answer very much.
The guards on the side also couldn't help turning in that direction to hear this answer.
Ouyang Qian just shook her head and said, "There's no such relation between me and the young master. We're just master and servant."
The guard captain said, "Oh." Before he changed his tone and said, "Are you happy working for this young master?"
As he said this, there was a strange and somewhat hostile tone that filled his voice. It was almost as if if Ouyang Qian said there was, he would take care of Lin Fan right away.
But Ouyang Qian said in a firm voice, "No, I'm following him of my own free will."
The guard captain was caught off guard by how determined her voice was.
Ouyang Qian felt that something was off, so she added, "He's someone who even entrusted me with managing his first store in this city, how could I not be happy following such a generous master?"
The guard captain nodded in agreement to this before changing the topic.
Then while they were talking, Ouyang Qian brought the topic back to the store as she said, "We're opening a new store in this city right in the second business street. It'll have many interesting things that I'm sure you'll enjoy."
Then she changed her tone to a coy one as she said, "I hope that you'll come. I do want to see you again."
As she said this, the guard captain's heart was filled with waves.
A beautiful woman saying something like this in such a coquettish manner, there wasn't a single man whose heart wouldn't be moved.
All of the guards on the side also made up their minds to check out Ouyang Qian's store.
The guard captain quickly nodded as he said, "I will, I will, I promise I'll be there."
Ouyang Qian just revealed a smile that was like a flower blooming that melted all their hearts.
As for Lin Fan who watched all of this happen…He couldn't help giving an internal emotional sigh…
This manager that Yue Lan had picked out, she really was something.
She had no qualms about using her charm to trick potential customers to come to the store. He couldn't help even being filled with praise for her shamelessness, flirting so openly like this.
But the effects really were good as the guards quickly finished his registration and sent them off.
As they left, the guard captain kept promising that he would come to the store and many of the guards kept stealing looks at Ouyang Qian.
Once they were far away from the gate, Lin Fan could not help saying, "You really are something. I can see why Yue Lan left this store to you."
Ouyang Qian came over and placed a hand on Lin Fan's arm as she said, "I'll do my best, young master."
Lin Fan didn't seem bothered by this and just patted her hand before saying, "Un, I'm looking forward to it."
Without even looking back he sat back down in the carriage.
As she watched him go, Ouyang Qian couldn't help shaking her head as she muttered, "The mistress is right, he really is dense."
Lu'er and Lan'er on the side who had heard this also shook their heads and gave sighs.
