With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods

Lin Fan didn't know what to say when he saw her like this.

Though there was a part of him that couldn't help thinking that she was cute when she acted like this.

Since she wasn't going to say anything, Lin Fan just said with a sigh, "Indeed, I wonder what we'll do."

He knew that she must have some kind of plan already if Ye Qing Huan was acting like this.

In that case, he would just play along and see what her plan was.

So Lin Fan prepared himself for the ambush that was about to come.

It was just that the ambush never came.

Even though they were clearly surrounded, it didn't seem like anyone was planning on attacking them. It was as if they were just watching them to see what the two of them would do instead of actually attacking them.

Even though they were completely outnumbered by the people that were around them.

There were several groups that were all working together for this ambush, which was what gave them the courage to ambush them like this.

If it was just one group, then they might not do anything just in case the power behind Ye Qing Huan retaliated. But since there were many groups that were here, they would be able to withstand it.

Though that was only because no one really knew who was behind Ye Qing Huan.

They didn't believe that anyone too powerful would come to a place in the middle of nowhere like this.

So that was why they didn't believe that Ye Qing Huan or Lin Fan would be associated with anyone too powerful.

The one that was the most anxious about this was the manager of the auction house.

He had reported back to his superiors about Ye Qing Huan and he had advised not touching them, but his superiors didn't listen to him. Instead, since he had been insistent on not doing anything to Ye Qing Huan's group, they had sent someone else to take care of this matter.

This was one of the upper managers of the entire black market and someone in the Qi Condensing Realm.

This was someone that was far stronger than the manager of the auction house who was only in the Foundation Realm.

Along with this, the black market had sent three more Qi Condensing Realm Experts along with this upper manager.

This showed just how determined they were to take care of Ye Qing Huan.

"You really messed up this time, didn't you, Yao Fu?" The upper manager said with a trace of schadenfreude in his voice.

The one he called Yao Fu was the manager of the auction house.

The two of them had been up for the position of upper manager at the same time and they had even joined the black market at the same time, climbing up the ranks together. However, the upper manager had managed to take the position from Yao Fu and his cultivation had surpassed his with the resources that he received as an upper manager.

Yao Fu gave a sigh before saying, "Yong Lan, don't look down on them. I advise you to use the VIP guests as shields to test them before you make a move yourself. If anything seems wrong, just cut them off and blame it all on them."

The upper manager called Yong Lan suddenly knitted his brows when he heard this.

He looked at Yao Fu with narrowed eyes for a bit before saying with a snort, "Aren't you looking down on me too much? I'm a Qi Condensing Realm Expert now and I have these experts from upper management. Do you really think that some kids would be able to fight us?"

Yao Fu shook his head when he heard this before saying, "I know that your pride is important to you, but this isn't the time. This is a very serious situation."

Yong Lan gave another snort as he said, "You're being too cautious. This is why you weren't able to make it all those years ago. They needed someone who was willing to take action and that was why they chose me. Just leave everything to me and I'll take care of it."

Yao Fu once again shook his head and gave another sigh before saying, "I'm saying this for your own good. As your one time friend, I'm saying this for your own benefit. Just walk away if it seems off."

Though their relationship was a bit sour now because they had competed for the position of upper manager, they had indeed been friends once upon a time.

In fact, they were even in laws since their wives were blood related sisters.

Yong Lan deeply knitted his brows when he heard this.

He looked at Yao Fu without a word for a bit before finally saying, "I'll keep it in mind."

That was the only thing that he could respond with.

After all, he knew that it was impossible for him to actually back down with the orders that he had received. If he were to back down now, then it wouldn't just be him that would be punished, it would be everyone here who would be punished.

So he really had no choice but to follow the orders that he received.

Even if he was an upper manager, that didn't mean that he was free to do what he wanted.

In fact, it actually made him even more restricted because he had become an upper manager.

With this thought in his mind, Yong Lan gave the orders to the three Qi Condensing Realm Experts that had come with him.

They had a special method of communicating with each other, so they were in contact the whole time as the three of them moved into position. They each took a position in one cardinal direction around Ye Qing Huan and Lin Fan who were still walking in the streets.

This way, with Yong Lan, the four of them would be surrounding these two.

Once the other three were in position, Yong Lan gave the order, "On my mark, take them down."

"Confirmed."

That was the response that he received from the other three.

But as he was counting down…

"Zzt."

A light on the token that he was holding suddenly flickered before disappearing without a trace. It was as if the light had suddenly gone out because something had happened on the other side.

As for what this light represented…it was one of the three Qi Condensing Realm Experts that he commanded.

Seeing this, Yong Lan gave the order for the other two to hold their position as he checked with the one that had their light suddenly disappear. But no matter how he tried to contact that Qi Condensing Realm Expert, it didn't seem like they were responding at all.

He tried calling them many times, but it didn't seem like they were picking up at all.

So in the end, Yong Lan lost his temper and roared, "Pick up immediately or face my wrath!"

Yao Fu could see that something was wrong, so he came over to say, "What's going on?"

In the middle of his words, another one of the lights disappeared from the token.

Yong Lan was shocked to see this before deeply knitting his brows.

It might be a coincidence if it was just a single light, but for two of them to disappear and to disappear one after another, it seemed like there was someone acting against them. It seemed like there was something else happening that he wasn't aware of.

So without even answering Yao Fu, Yong Lan called the third Qi Condensing Realm Expert, "What is happening? Where are the other two?"

"Sir, I have no idea. I just suddenly lost contact with…"

Before that last Qi Condensing Realm Expert could answer, his voice cut off as well. Then all of a sudden, the last light on the token flickered and disappeared without a trace.

Both Yong Lan and Yao Fu deeply knitted their brows when they heard this.

After all, they had heard something else while that last Qi Condensing Realm Expert was calling them.

"Shing."

It was the sound of a sharp sword being swung.

That meant that it wasn't intentional that the call had been dropped.

It seemed like there was someone who was hunting them…

Yao Fu turned to look at Yong Lan to say, "We need to leave this place immediately. If we don't leave now, we'll lose our lives."

Yong Lan deeply knitted his brows upon hearing this.

There was a part of him that wanted to refute Yao Fu's words, but there was a greater part of him that recognized the danger that all of this posed. That part of him also couldn't deny that he was wrong since all three of these Qi Condensing Realm Experts had gone quiet.

It might be that they were in the middle of a fight and couldn't respond, but…he wasn't too hopeful.

After a long silence, Yong Lan finally said, "Fine, we're leaving. But this isn't something that we'll be able to explain that easily. We'll need to sacrifice the other VIP guests to ensure that they believe us."

This time, Yao Fu nodded in agreement.

As long as it meant that they were safe, it seemed like he didn't care about anyone else's safety.

It was just too bad that they didn't get a chance to do this.

"Where are you going?"

When they turned around after hearing this voice, all they saw was a sword coming at their necks.

It was too fast for them to even react to.
