Chapter 456 Meeting The Fourth Prince Again



It didn't take long for Yue Lan to gather everyone.

She had already prepared for this when she sent the letter to Lin Fan, so all she had to do was send the message.

They all gathered in the living room of the manor and then after a session of hugging and catching up, they all settled to discuss the matter at hand.

Naturally they knew about the fourth prince, but they didn't know why the fourth prince was here.

Since this was something that would affect them all, Mu Bao Bao decided to reveal her true identity to them.

The girls were naturally shocked by this, but they were also very accepting of it and didn't mind that she had been keeping this secret from them. At the same time, they were very accepting of Senior Sister Bing into Lin Fan's harem, though there was a welcoming party prepared for her at night.

When Lin Fan asked about it the next day, she immediately refused to tell him anything about it.

But back to the matter at hand, they were discussing what to do about the fourth prince.

Now that they knew Mu Bao Bao's real identity, it was easier for them to figure out why the fourth prince was here.

Since that was the case, Yue Lan and Ming Xin were able to come up with some countermeasures.

They also came up with a few guesses as to why the fourth prince was here.

As expected, the prevailing theory was that the fourth prince already knew about the Love Sect traces in this town and that even Mu Bao Bao was also here.

But if that was the case, why did the fourth prince just settle in the town waiting for them like nothing was wrong?

In this case, he would send people to gather as much evidence as possible so that it could be used against them. At the same time, he would send people out to find clues as to where Mu Bao Bao and Lin Fan had gone.

But none of that happened.

Yue Lan was certain of this since she had sent people to watch over the fourth prince the entire time.

There hadn't been a single trace of movement from the fourth prince's party.

It wasn't as if they were much more powerful since she had asked Mu Bao Bao's elder brothers and sisters from the Love Sect to watch over them.

These were Qi Condensation Realm Cultivators, so they were by no means weak.

It was very likely that the actions of the fourth prince would escape their notice.

So what was the fourth prince's plan?

Lin Fan had remained silent during this entire time since he had already thought of the same things as these two.

The one thing that surprised him was that the fourth prince had remained silent this whole time since he would have also expected them to make any kind of move while he was here.

After thinking about it, Lin Fan suddenly said, "I'll meet with the fourth prince."

The moment that he said this, all of the girls looked at him with shock.

Then before anyone else could react, both Mu Bao Bao and Yue Lan said, "No!"

The two of them looked at each other before turning back to look at me with firm looks in their eyes.

Mu Bao Bao was the one that spoke first since Yue Lan wanted to see what she had to say, "This is my problem, I don't want to drag you into it. If someone has to meet him, then it would be me."

Lin Fan couldn't help shaking his head with a bitter smile when he heard this. Then he raised his hand and flicked Mu Bao Bao on the forehead again before saying, "You know that I've already said that I wouldn't do that. If you think that way again, I really will get angry."

Mu Bao Bao had a reflecting look on her face, but there was still a bit of determination in her eyes.

Yue Lan then cut in and said, "You can't do this, this is just too risky. There's no knowing what the other side is planning, so what will you do if they really are planning something? You should know how much power someone like the fourth prince has...what if something were to happen to you?"

Lin Fan gave a nod in response to this since he knew that her worries were valid, but at the same time...

He felt that there was something different about the fourth prince.

He had felt this way from the first moment that he met him and that was what drew his attention to the fourth prince.

He didn't know how to put it, but it almost seemed like the fourth prince...wasn't interested in taking the throne at all. It was almost as if he was being forced into doing this by the circumstances of his situation.

And such, Lin Fan felt that there was something different about the fourth prince compared to the other princes.

After a period of silence, Lin Fan said, "Even if that is the case, I feel that this is the right thing to do."

Yue Lan pouted her lips when she heard this.

Then she moved forward to grab Lin Fan's arm before looking up at him with teary eyes as she said, "Are you going to leave me as well? After my father, are you also planning on tossing me aside?"

Lin Fan couldn't help being taken aback when he saw this, but then he revealed a bitter smile and said, "Is there really a need to do all of this?"

Yue Lan didn't react at first, but then seeing that the bitter smile on Lin Fan's face didn't disappear, the tears disappeared from her eyes. Then she clicked her tongue and said, "Che, so you knew."

The bitter smile on Lin Fan's face became wider when he heard this.

He never thought that Yue Lan would do something like this, even bringing up the scar in her heart that was her father...

But he also could see the worry in her eyes.

Sometimes, acting like a villain was just a way to hide their true feelings.

Lin Fan patted her on the head and said, "Don't worry, even if something happens, I have a way to escape. I promise that nothing will happen to me."

Yue Lan had a doubtful look in her eyes when she heard this, but seeing the way that Lin Fan looked at her, she still gave a nod in the end.

After calming her down, Lin Fan turned to the rest and said, "I'll meet with the fourth prince alone."

This time, all of the girls couldn't hold back as they complained that it was too dangerous.

Even those that weren't as smart could see that this was a dumb idea and in truth, it was a very dumb decision to make. There were many different ways to go about this, but going headfirst into this without a plan and just meeting the fourth prince was definitely the worst.

Not to mention that he was planning on meeting the fourth prince all alone without anyone there to support him.

Even if he wanted help, it would be too late to get help to him.

So they naturally had to speak up at this time and stop him.

But in the end, Lin Fan was adamant on this decision.

The girls weren't able to do anything and could only act in secret to put some helpers in the area around the meeting place.

Lin Fan didn't stop them since he knew that this was their care, but he also knew that this wouldn't help him much if something did happen.

They would be too far away to help and it would be hard for them to help since...they were too weak to do anything to the fourth prince's group.

But this was a way to make them feel more assured.

Since the fourth prince had been waiting for him, it didn't take long for a meeting to be set up.

He had arrived in the city in the morning and after talking to the girls, it had just become the afternoon. So as soon as the message was sent to the fourth prince, the meeting was set up where the fourth prince was staying.

When Lin Fan arrived alone, the guards of the fourth prince that met him at the entrance couldn't help being surprised.

They were certain that Lin Fan would have come with others, so seeing him come alone was shocking to them.

But they didn't mind and showed Lin Fan in since they had already received the orders to let him in.

Lin Fan was led into the residence and brought to the living room where the fourth prince was waiting for him.

When he walked in, the fourth prince was surprised to see that he was alone.

The fourth prince looked around to see if there was anyone else waiting and then he looked at the person beside him who just shook their head. After seeing this, the fourth prince couldn't help revealing an even more surprised look.

After all, this shake of the head from this person behind him meant...that there was no one hiding in the vicinity.

Lin Fan had really come to meet him alone.

But the fourth prince was the fourth prince, so he didn't let himself be affected by this surprise for long.

He stood up and said with a smile, "Young master Lin, it really has been a long time since we last met."
