Cultivation Pet Shop

Lin Fan looked down at the handkerchief with a strange look since he couldn't understand how this handkerchief was related to finding someone.

But when he looked closer, he found that there was a strange pattern on this handkerchief.

There was a cherry blossom pattern on it that seemed very familiar to him. Almost as if he had seen it somewhere before…

But he couldn't remember where exactly…

Young miss Dongfang had been watching him the entire time, as if she was waiting to see a reaction on his face. However, seeing that he just calmly looked at the handkerchief without revealing any reactions, she gave a sigh before continuing to speak.

"I know you're probably wondering what this handkerchief is."

After a pause, she continued, "This is an item that is similar to the one that belongs to the person that I'm looking for. I want you to find that person with this item that has a similar pattern for me."

Lin Fan looked at her with a confused look and asked, "I just run a pet shop in this city, how could I find someone like that for you?"

Young miss Dongfang shook her head and said, "Who said that it would be in the capital city?"

Lin Fan knitted his brows before slowly saying, "The slum city?"

Young miss Dongfang nodded and said, "That's right."

Lin Fan had a bit of understanding when he heard this.

If it was in the capital city, there was no chance that young miss Dongfang would ask for his help with this. After all, when it came to the capital city, young miss Dongfang had countless times more influence than Lin Fan.

But the slum city where the nobles didn't have any influence at all, naturally it wasn't a place that young miss Dongfang or the Dongfang Family would be able to search at will.

That wasn't the case when it came to Lin Fan since he had taken over the gangs in the slum city. With all those different gangs spread out across the slum city, it was easy…no, it was easier for him to search for the person that she wanted to find.

Of course, actually finding that person was still a big unknown.

It was hard to find a single person in a large city after all. Especially if they were hiding, which Lin Fan was assuming was the case if young miss Dongfang wanted this person to be found.

But he couldn't help feeling a vague bad feeling.

He took a closer look and for some reason, it really felt like this pattern on the handkerchief was very similar…Almost as if he had seen it somewhere before, but he couldn't just place his finger on it.

Still, in the end, he decided to accept this request.

After all, compared to not being involved, it made him feel more assured if he had some form of control in this matter.

Young miss Dongfang gave a nod before saying with a grateful look, "Thank you for doing this. This is a very important matter."

Seeing the way that she looked, Lin Fan couldn't help asking, "Is it important for the Dongfang Family or for you?"

Young miss Dongfang was surprised to hear this from Lin Fan, but after taking a deep look at him, she said, "Both."

Lin Fan could tell that there was a story behind this answer, but he could also tell that she wasn't willing to talk about it. Moreover, it was most likely related to something important for the Dongfang Family, so it would be strange if she was indeed willing to talk about it.

Since that was the case, there was no need for him to stay here any longer.

He knew that the longer he stayed, the more nails he put in the coffin that was waiting for him at home.

So he stood up and excused himself before leaving without giving young miss Dongfang a chance to say anything.

Young miss Dongfang had been lost in thought, so when she came back to her senses, she saw that Lin Fan was already gone. However, she didn't mind this since she had already achieved her goal in asking him to meet her.

The truth was that this was more of a personal matter for her than a family matter.

She wanted to make up for the mistake that she had made in the past.

"Big sis, I don't know if I can find her, but I'll do what I can."

…

Even after he left the restaurant, Lin Fan couldn't stop himself from thinking about what had happened back there.

He walked in a daze on the way back from the restaurant.

Of course, he could have taken a beast carriage and headed back sooner, but he had something that he wanted to think about.

Only when he reached the store did he suddenly reveal a look of revelation as if he had suddenly thought of something.

He had finally remembered where he had seen the pattern before.

With a wave of his hand, there was a barrier of laws that appeared around him that obscured him from the view of everyone around.

Once he made sure that no one was looking at him, he took out a token from his Storage Ring.

This was the token that he had received from Duanmu Hua Yu when he had saved him and was one of the last things that he had been entrusted with.

As for why he was taking it out, it was because he had to take a closer look at the pattern of the token.

At the same time, he also pulled out the handkerchief that he had just received from young miss Dongfang and placed it beside the token.

As he had expected, there was the same pattern on these two items…

It seemed that the person that young miss Dongfang was looking for was Duanmu Hua Yu…No, it should be Xin'er…Min'er because Duanmu Hua Yu was the one that was assigned to take care of her. The token belonged to her originally.

As Lin Fan realized all of this, he felt that this situation was getting worse and worse.

What this token represented was the prestige of the Mu Stellar Royal Family, so if the Dongfang Family was looking for Xin'er, then that meant that they had some kind of connection to the Mu Stellar Royal Family.

The reason that Lin Fan had chosen the Dongfang Family in the first place was because they were a powerful neutral family. He didn't want to get involved in the politics of this Mu Stellar Kingdom both for his sake and for Xin'er's sake.

But the fact that the Dongfang Family was related to the Mu Stellar Royal Family and was looking for Xin'er meant that they were looking to enter politics… 𝐟𝗿𝚎𝐞𝓌e𝒃𝑛𝒐ѵ𝒆𝑙.c𝚘𝓶

This was a very bad sign for him.

So Lin Fan was certain that he didn't want to help the Dongfang Family with this, but there was still one thing that he was concerned about.

The original owner of this token and the handkerchief…

These things most likely didn't belong to Xin'er in the first place…As for the people that they belonged to, it was most likely her parents.

Well, since it was a cherry blossom pattern, these things most likely used to belong to Xin'er's mother.

A mother was an important thing for a child and he didn't know if Xin'er's mother was still alive or not. If she was alive, it was only right that Xin'er meet her once…

So he still had to consider this…

…

In another location in the noble district.

Behind a set of closed doors.

There were three people that were currently sitting in this room, two males and one female.

One side was just one man by himself and the other side was one man and one female.

Neither side said a thing as they just sat there in silence with both sides just staring at each other.

Finally, the man sitting alone said, "Why do you want to switch sides now out of all time?"

The woman said with a smile, "It should be clear based on the sixth prince's performance what kind of person he is. You should understand why we no longer want to be associated with him, right?"

The man narrowed his eyes to look at the woman before saying, "You say that, but you've been working under him for so long. Do you really think that you would be accepted that easily?"

The woman had the same smile as she said, "But we have something that we think will be able to prove our sincerity."

The man narrowed his eyes before saying, "The Jun Family? You're saying that you can give me the Jun Family?"

The woman shook her head and said, "I can't give you the Jun Family, but I can give you the information that you've been looking for."

The man immediately released his aura in full and said in a deep voice, "Her? You're telling me that you have information on her?"

Both the man and the woman were shocked to see this kind of aura from this person, but they quickly calmed down. The man nodded to the woman and she took out a piece of paper that she placed on the table before saying, "Based on our investigations, there have been traces found in the slum city."

The man knitted his brows as he took this piece of paper and he muttered to himself, "The slum city…"

After another long period of silence, the man took the piece of paper and said, "I'll investigate myself and if this turns out to be true, I'll accept you to my side."

Then without another word, he left the room.

The ones that were left behind revealed wide smiles as they had accomplished their goal.

The one who had just left was the second prince and the ones left were Yang Xi Ruo and her father, Duke Yang.
