Chapter 975: Another sect recruitment
When they arrived back at Dungeon City, the one that was dragged away wasn't actually Lin Fan.
But rather, it was Xiao Ming who came over and dragged Huang Xie away.
Lin Fan was surprised to see his first disciple being this direct, but he also didn't stop her as she dragged Huang Xie away.
In fact, he looked at them with an interested look as this happened.
Though after she dragged him away, they were followed by Zhao Lin Jun and He Chun Hua. It seemed that the two of them were also interested in what was happening to Huang Xie.
The one that followed at the end of the pack was Yu Huang who seemed to have a bitter smile on his face.
He had seen how Xiao Ming went to drag Huang Xie away and he wasn't that delusional that he couldn't see how things were developing between the two of them. He had once tried to win Xiao Ming's affection as well, but it didn't seem like what he did worked.
After watching them leave, Lin Fan shook his head with a faint smile.
It really was interesting watching the relationship between these young people develop.
Though he was forgetting that he wasn't much older than them in the first place.
It had only been around a year since he came to this world, so he was actually only a few years older than them.
After thinking about this for a bit, Lin Fan turned off and headed in a certain direction as well.
There was someone that he needed to see since there was something that he needed to report.
…
"Are you sure about this?"
When he was asked this question, Lin Fan just calmly gave a firm nod in response.
When they saw this, the ones in front of him couldn't help deeply knitting their brows.
The one that had the biggest reaction was Mu Bao Bao who was the empress of the Mu Empire. Of course, that was to be expected since as the empress of the Mu Empire, she was the one that was the most affected by this news.
The news that the Huang Family had betrayed the Mu Empire to cooperate with the Wu Empire.
After giving this nod, Lin Fan handed a Storage Ring over to Mu Bao Bao.
Mu Bao Bao looked at it with a confused look before she started taking the things out of the Storage Ring.
When she took these things out, Yue Lan and Ming Xin started going over the documents that had been hiding inside of the Storage Ring.
From these documents, they were able to find quite a few things about the plans that the Wu Empire had. However, they also weren't able to find the key details of the Wu Empire's plan.
They weren't fools, it wasn't as if they would just write down their plans for everyone to see.
So the only one that knew the key details would be the one that had owned this Storage Ring.
"Where is the spy?" Yue Lan looked up and asked Lin Fan.
Lin Fan revealed an awkward look when he heard this.
From this, Yue Lan deduced, "So you had to kill him?"
Lin Fan gave a nod before slowly shaking his head and saying, "Not exactly."
They all looked at him with confused looks before knitting their brows and waiting for him to explain what he meant by this.
Lin Fan didn't explain and instead said, "All I can say is that he's still technically alive and he can give answers, but I can't let you meet him. It's dangerous for you to meet him."
They knitted their brows even more when they heard this.
After all, it seemed like they were being deliberately left out of this and they didn't like this feeling.
But in the end, Yue Lan said, "It's because you have a secret that you want to keep, right?"
Lin Fan just gave a simple nod in response before saying, "You can ask your questions and I'll get answers for you, but it might not be the complete answers and not what you expect. I hope that you can respect this secret, it's too dangerous to tell you about it right now."
They looked at him with the same disappointed look for a few seconds before Yue Lan said, "Alright, I'll get the questions to you later. For now, we have to decide what we plan to do next."
Mu Bao Bao once again knitted her brows again before asking, "What can we do? Even if I order them to search the entire empire, it's not as if the spies are that easy to find. Especially if they're from the Wu Empire."
The others didn't say anything in response since they knew that what she said was true.
But Lin Fan actually had an answer for them.
"It's very simple, we just have to do something so big that it involves the entire country. When the time comes, it'll be easy to find out who has been colluding with the Wu Empire and who hasn't."
"Huh?" All of the girls were confused when they heard this.
It wasn't that they didn't believe him, it was just that it was hard for them to believe what Lin Fan was saying.
Even if he had a plan, they didn't think that he would be able to come up with a plan that would have this kind of effect.
Lin Fan just said with a smile, "It's very simple, we just have to…"
…
"You want to hold another sect recruitment? Isn't it a bit too early for that?" Senior Brother Ying asked in a confused voice.
It wasn't just him who was confused, it was the rest of the elders that were all confused when they heard this.
After all, they couldn't understand why Lin Fan suddenly suggested that they hold another sect recruitment.
The last sect recruitment had already had good effects and the disciples were developing well, it seemed like it was too early to hold another sect recruitment.
But Lin Fan said, "The disciples have already reached the point where they would already be able to take on disciples in other sects. It's not too early for us to hold another sect recruitment."
The elders had strange looks on their faces when they heard this, but they slowly nodded in agreement.
The speed that the disciples developed was completely different from the other sects of the Mu Empire. But that was mainly because of the abundant resources of the new Love Sect.
If they were to recruit more disciples, then wouldn't that mean less resources and more competition?
Wouldn't that mean that it would be harder for the disciples in the future?
But thinking about it, they realized that this wasn't the case.
After all, there were currently more than enough resources that were in the sect all because of the strange buildings that the sect master had made appear. These were special buildings that provided them with more than enough resources, even if they took on more disciples.
So it didn't seem like it would be a bad idea to hold another sect recruitment.
But Senior Brother Ying brought up another issue, "We've already recruited many of the talented people in the surrounding area and even in some of the further areas. If we hold another sect recruitment, it's not as if we'll be able to find disciples that are as talented as the current batch of disciples."
There was a limit to how many people could arrive at the Love Sect.
The Mu Empire had a large territory and for mortals, it wasn't easy to travel this distance.
It wasn't as if the Love Sect could send people all over the empire just to bring in talented people. The Love Sect might have regained some of the size that it had previously, but it was still far from when it was at its peak.
There just weren't enough disciples or even chore disciples for something like this.
So the concern that Senior Brother Ying raised was valid.
It was just that he didn't expect Lin Fan to counter with. Explore more stories at My Virtual Library Empire
"The Mu Empire will be helping us with that. They will set up stations all over the country to help find talented people that they will send to the Love Sect. With the network of the Mu Empire, it won't be hard for them to do that."
The elders all knitted their brows when they heard this.
After all, they could tell that this was strange.
If the Mu Empire were to recruit talented people, why wouldn't they keep them for themselves?
Why would they give them to the Love Sect?
That was unless the Love Sect would be training them for the Mu Empire and then the Love Sect could be called upon when the time was needed. That would make the Love Sect and the Mu Empire completely intertwined.
Lin Fan could see what they were thinking, so he said, "In the first place, the Love Sect was already deeply intertwined with the Mu Empire. Or are we going to abandon one of our own?"
The elders from the former Love Sect revealed determined looks when they heard this since they knew that Lin Fan was referring to Mu Bao Bao.
The elders from the Hidden Dragon Sect didn't seem as moved by this, but they eventually seemed to agree to this. Part of it was because Lin Fan was pushing this matter and part of it was because they knew that relying on the Mu Empire was the better decision right now.
Like this, it was decided that the Love Sect would be holding another sect recruitment.
