Chapter 988 A new life
"Can I get a few more bottles of alcohol over here?"
"Give me the mandarin fish and the husband and wife lung slices."
"When is my order coming?"
"I'm coming, give me a minute." Lin Fan said before heading into the kitchen.
It didn't take him long to bring out all the things that had been asked for.
Though that was only by normal human standards. It was beyond slow for a cultivator like him.
As for why a cultivator like him was working in a place like this…
…
"You want me to do what?" Lin Fan asked Grandma Pan after hearing what she said.
Grandma Pan just simply said, "The young miss wants you to work a job as a waiter."
It was as crazy as he thought and he hadn't made a mistake.
The only thing that Lin Fan couldn't understand was why she had suddenly given him this order to work as a waiter like this. It didn't make any sense at all since it was just too different from the rest of the things that Ye Qing Huan had asked him to do.
This seemed like she was just trying to give him something to do to keep him busy.
So Lin Fan naturally wanted an explanation for this.
But it wasn't as if he could just directly question Grandma Pan since there was the difference in status and the difference in power between them.
So the only thing that Lin Fan could do was ask, "But it isn't as if it's easy to get a job in the place that she wants me to get a job in. At the same time, they might not even be recruiting at this time. So what happens if I can't get the job."
"They're already waiting for you." Grandma Pan said before putting a piece of paper down on the table.
When Lin Fan picked it up to see what was written on it, he couldn't help knitting his brows.
That was because the instructions that were on the piece of paper showed that he had already been accepted as a waiter at this restaurant. At the same time, it also showed him what was special about this restaurant.
It was a restaurant that was under the Ye Family in the first place.
It was a restaurant that was controlled by the Ye Family that doubled as a special meeting place for those that worked in gathering intelligence for the Ye Family.
Lin Fan was completely caught off guard by the fact that Ye Qing Huan wanted him to work in a place that was related to the Ye Family.
Did that mean that she wanted him to get closer to the Ye Family or was it something completely different?
The more that Lin Fan thought about it, the more confused he became since he just couldn't see through what Ye Qing Huan's intentions were. The only thing that he knew was that this was different.
"You just have to wait for the young miss' instructions. You don't have to do anything special, the young miss will have instructions for you when the time comes. For now, you just have to work there as a normal waiter."
Grandma Pan said this like she was able to see through Lin Fan's thoughts.
In the end, that was why Lin Fan agreed.
He didn't understand what they were doing, but so far…Ye Qing Huan hadn't hurt him.
So he would trust that she would have some kind of plan.
But at the same time, it was more that he really couldn't resist since she was the young miss of the Ye Family and the younger sister of Ye Tian Xie.
So he had to go along with this.
…
When his shift was over, Lin Fan took off his apron and the hat that they gave him as a uniform before giving a sigh that was filled with exhaustion.
Though he wasn't physically exhausted since his body was very powerful, he was certainly mentally exhausted by the fact that he had been working as a waiter.
In both of his lives, this was an experience that he never had before.
It certainly wasn't easy to be a waiter, there were many things that had to be done and all at once. And the fact that he had to act like a normal waiter definitely didn't help with his situation.
That was why he was mentally exhausted at the end of his first day on the job.
"Just what is she planning on having me do?"
"Maybe she just wants to bring you to a place where you can meet in private?"
Lin Fan was caught off guard by the response that he got to the question that he muttered under his breath.
When he looked around, he saw that he was alone in this alley and it didn't seem like there was anyone that could answer him. However, this was a voice that was hard for Lin Fan to forget.
After a moment of silence, there was a mist that appeared in front of him and then a figure appeared. When that figure appeared, it didn't hesitate to step forward and move right up in front of him.
Then before Lin Fan could react, he found that this figure had her arms wrapped around him and her head in his chest.
A bitter smile appeared on Lin Fan's face when he saw this, but he didn't move away or push her back. He just stood there and let her hold him like this, after all, it wasn't as if he could actually do anything to her.
That was because the one that had suddenly appeared in front of him was Ye Qing Huan.
Not long after he left the borders of the Mu Empire and came to this inn at the capital of the Yong Kingdom, Ye Qing Huan appeared in front of him like this.
It really seemed like she had done all of this just to bring him here to meet.
If that was the case, then Lin Fan really didn't know what to say.
But in the end, this wasn't the case.
He didn't even get to enjoy this new life of his for a day before he was pulled into something by Ye Qing Huan.
When Ye Qing Huan separated from him, she grabbed his hand and said, "Though it is good to see you, we need to go. There's somewhere we need to go before the sun rises and you have to get back on the job."
Another bitter smile appeared on Lin Fan's face, but he let himself be dragged along.
Though he did have to ask something, "Where are we going and what are we going to do?"
Ye Qing Huan didn't stop moving, but she said, "I need your help with something, which is why I called you here. You're the only one that I can trust, which is why I called for you. When this is over, I'll give you another proper mission that will give you something that will make you stronger. But for now, I need you to help me with this."
She didn't even turn around as she said this which made a bitter smile appear on Lin Fan's face. Discover exclusive tales on My Virtual Library Empire
"What do you need help with?" That was the next question that Lin Fan asked.
It was a matter that even stumped Ye Qing Huan of the Ye Family, so it definitely wasn't anything normal. Lin Fan wasn't certain that he would be able to help her, even if he wanted to help her.
Though he did want to help her.
Even if their relationship was a shaky one, it was a fact that she was one of his women.
So he should at least put in a bit of effort to help her when he could.
Ye Qing Huan once again didn't turn around, but she said, "It's a spy. There's a spy in the Ye Family."
A strange look appeared on Lin Fan's face when he heard this.
First it was the spies of the Wu Empire in the Mu Empire and now it was about a spy in the Ye Family.
He really didn't know why he was related to these kinds of cases.
As if she could see through his thoughts, Ye Qing Huan suddenly spoke even though Lin Fan didn't say anything.
"We've already heard about how you took care of the Wu Empire's spies in the Mu Empire. This is something that even the Ye Family or the Heavenly Demon Sect wasn't able to see through since they had the support of the Five Great Sects. That was why I wanted to bring you in to help me."
Lin Fan was surprised to hear this.
He didn't expect the Ye Family's intelligence network or the intelligence network of the Heavenly Demon Sect to know something like this so soon. After all, the time that Grandma Pan arrived in the Mu Empire was just after this matter was made known to the public.
So they either moved very quickly or they already knew that he had found the spies before the news was revealed.
Yet even with that kind of power, they weren't able to find the spies of the Ye Family…
Would he even be able to help?
No, Lin Fan did have something that others didn't that might be able to help Ye Qing Huan in this situation.
So in the end, Lin Fan just decided to go along with this to see what would happen.
At the very least, he had confidence in his strength to keep himself alive.
