Once the matters with the Lin Family were settled, Lin Fan no longer stayed there.
He promised that he would come back from time to time to check on things, but they all knew that it would be very unlikely that this would happen.
After all, it was hard for Lin Fan to even find the time to come back even if it was just once in a while.
That was how busy he was with his new position.
Still, for the sake of his new family, he figured that could come back at least once a year?
For cultivators, that wasn't considered that long.
Though for low level cultivators, it was considered a long time.
It would all depend on Lin Li Zi's efforts to see how long she would live.
If possible, Lin Fan would also send some things back to her from time to time.
That way, she would at least be able to reach the Foundation Realm and live a bit longer.
As for Lin Li Zi's mother…well sometimes it was better to live as a mortal. Especially when they had no desire to cultivate in the first place.
Perhaps that might change in the future, but for now, Lin Fan didn't have any plans on forcing Lin Li Zi's mother to cultivate. Not to mention, forcing someone to cultivate wouldn't have any good effects since they wouldn't be focused on doing this thing.
It was better to let the situation develop naturally.
Once he left the Peach Province, Lin Fan felt as if there was a part of him that had been freed.
Before this, it was as if there was something deep inside of him that had been chained up.
It was only after taking care of the Lin Family and leaving the Peach Province that he felt this chain being released.
Like he had fulfilled something that needed to be fulfilled.
In a part of his mind, Lin Fan said to himself, "I've taken revenge for you. I hope that you will be able to rest well."
Though this wasn't really said to anyone in particular…
Since he had finished this, Lin Fan didn't want to waste any time in returning.
So instead of traveling slowly, he had Igneel fly as fast as it could.
Igneel was naturally surprised by Lin Fan's orders, but it didn't disobey this order since this was the first time that it had been allowed to fly freely. It was even curious just how fast it would be able to fly since it had never let loose before.
This time, Lin Fan didn't care since he didn't feel like there was anything restraining him.
After all, Mu Bao Bao was the one who was in charge of this Mu Empire.
Anything that he did, she would cover for him.
It only took him a day and a half to return to Dungeon City.
That was how fast Igneel had become after its new breakthrough.
Lin Fan was pleasantly surprised by this since he knew that he would be able to travel much faster in the future because of this. This would open up many places for him since he would be able to use Igneel to go to and return from those places faster.
When he arrived in Dungeon City, he landed near the outskirts of the city and walked into the city openly.
There was no need for him to hide himself anymore since the matter with the Lin Family had been settled already.
When he walked in, everyone was surprised since they thought that he was still in Dungeon City.
Lin Fan just didn't care as he went to find the girls.
With the new sense of liberation that he felt, there was something that he wanted to use all this energy for.
It would be something that they would have to do in the private comforts of their bedroom.
Only he never got a chance to do this.
After he found the girls, he found that there was someone who suddenly called him.
It was Rokuko who told him about this when she saw him.
The way that she said it, it seemed like it was very important to her.
But Lin Fan quickly understood why this was the case since he also received a notification from the Dungeon Master System.
The god of magic Weiss was looking for him.
He couldn't help being surprised by this since he never thought that the god of magic would be looking for him again.
The last time that they had met, it was clear that the god of magic didn't care about anything other than his own interests.
Though he was able to get the very powerful Magic Manipulation (Max) skill out of it, Lin Fan didn't feel like there was anything that could be gained from meeting the god of magic again.
There was even a part of him that thought that the god of magic was trouble since it was hard to predict what a god wanted.
But…
It wasn't as if he could just deny a god when a god wanted to meet.
Especially since the god of magic could see through all of his thoughts.
"Come now or else."
That was the message that he received from the Dungeon Master System after he started thinking about ways to avoid this.
With a bitter smile, Lin Fan had no choice but to accept.
Though he was confused how he would meet the god of magic.
Or at least he was for a moment before realizing what was happening.
The moment that he accepted the request of the god of magic to meet, he found that the space around him had changed. It wasn't a gradual change, it was a sudden change in surroundings.
Almost as if he had been teleported…
When he looked around, he found that he was in the same place as before when he met the god of magic. At the same time, Lin Fan found that Rokuko was here as well.
When he looked at her with a questioning gaze, she just shook her head to show that she didn't know what was happening either.
One moment, she had been with Lin Fan in the same room as the other girls and the next, she was here with him.
The two of them just looked at each other, as if they didn't know what to do.
But then there was a voice that said, "You're here. Come and sit, I have something that I want to discuss with you."
There was a coffee table and two sofas that appeared in front of them.
At the same time, there was the same sloppily dressed man that suddenly appeared.
He walked over to one of the sofas and sat down before he started pouring some tea for the two of them. Then after looking at Rokuko, as if thinking of something, he snapped his finger and there was a plate of cookies that appeared.
He took one of those cookies for himself and just put it in his mouth to hold instead of biting into before gesturing at the sofa in front of him.
Lin Fan and Rokuko looked at each other before sitting down in front of Weiss.
Once they sat down, he pushed the cups of tea in their direction and took a sip of his own.
The way that he acted, it almost seemed too casual…
But they couldn't just ignore him.
So they had no choice but to take the tea that he offered.
After taking a sip of their tea, Weiss suddenly said, "I'm sure that you're wondering why I've called you here."
One moment it seemed like he was stalling and the next, he suddenly opened up with this.
Gods really were willful and went at their own pace…
Rokuko just looked at Lin Fan and he said with a faint smile, "Yes, we were wondering why you suddenly called us here out of the blue."
Weiss just gave a nod and took another sip of his tea.
The way that he acted, it really seemed like it wasn't any of his problem at all.
That was just how gods were, weren't they?
After he finished, he said, "I have a favour that I need to ask of you."
"Huh?" Both Rokuko and Lin Fan were caught off guard when they heard this.
Out of all the possibilities that they had thought of, they never thought that the right answer would be that Weiss had called them here to ask a favour.
Though a favour for a god…
It was better to call this a mission rather than a favour since something that the gods asked of couldn't be rejected. If a god asked you for something, you had no choice but to do it for that god.
Even if Weiss looked like a very easy person to reject with how little he seemed to care…
He was still a god.
So after taking some time to calm down, Lin Fan asked, "May I ask what this favour is?"
Weiss gave a nod before raising his hand in front of him.
When he did, there was this image that appeared in front of them.
It was like a hologram, but it was clear that this image was formed with mana.
The image that was shown seemed to be some kind of cave in the middle of nowhere.
After he created this magic projection image, Weiss said, "There is a newly born dungeon core in this place. I want you to find it and take it under your protection."
