Chapter 463 Another Twist
Lin Fan and Mu Bao Bao both looked at each other, as if they were trying to gauge what the other person was thinking.
They could both see from the looks the other person had that they thought that the aura of the person inside wasn't normal.
This was a powerful aura that could pressure both of them..so it was clear that the person inside wasn't a simple person.
It was one thing if they could pressure Lin Fan since he was only in the Foundation Realm, but it was completely different if they could pressure Mu Bao Bao. She was someone in the Golden Core Realm, a realm that was the level that elders of smaller sects and geniuses of large sects were at.
She was not by any means weak with this kind of cultivation, but she still felt pressure coming from the person inside.
That meant that the person inside should have a higher level of cultivation than her..
If they went in, it would be hard to guarantee that they would be safe.
But at the same time, if they didn't go in, they wouldn't be able to obtain the answers that they wanted.
So after considering their options, in the end, they still decided to go in.
Lin Fan led the way in and Mu Bao Bao followed behind him, but her guard was raised so that she would be able to make a move at any moment.
That way, Lin Fan would be able to pull them into the Minor World so they could hide themselves from the enemy.
The building itself was very normal, just like a normal residence, but like the rest of the courtyard, it was made with very expensive materials.
But that didn't surprise them anymore as they went to the entrance of this building.
Before they could even open the door, there was some strange force that opened it for them.
Then there was a voice that said, "Come in, I've been waiting for you."
Lin Fan didn't react when he heard this voice, but Mu Bao Bao was different.
The moment that she heard this voice, she couldn't help revealing an emotional look.
Even though Lin Fan couldn't see the look on her face, he could sense the emotional state that she was in from her body language.
So without any hesitation, he took her hand.
When Mu Bao Bao felt Lin Fan taking her hand, she turned to look at him. Seeing the way that he looked at her, she took a deep breath and gave a nod to show that she was alright.
But during this time, what she didn't know was that there was someone else who was already putting pressure on Lin Fan.
Lin Fan gave a secret bitter smile as he felt this pressure coming from within falling on him.
It was almost like..a father who disapproved of their daughter's boyfriend.
Like this, the two of them headed in while holding hands like this. However, because of this, the pressure that was on Lin Fan grew stronger and stronger as he walked in.
At this point, he was certain that it was deliberate, but the person that was waiting for them inside was..so it didn't seem strange that there was this pressure on him.
Finally, they reached the inner room of this building where they could feel the source of the aura.
It seemed that the person who was waiting for them was inside this room.
But before going in, Lin Fan stopped Mu Bao Bao and pulled her in front of him, turning her so that she faced him.
Mu Bao Bao was caught off guard by this, but she still let him do what he wanted.
Lin Fan looked at her in silence before saying, "It'll be alright."
Mu Bao Bao couldn't help trembling when she heard this, but then that trembling stopped as she gave a nod.
Seeing him look at her like this, she remembered all the things that were waiting for them, so she was even more determined. No matter what happened, she would protect those things that were important to her.
Even if the other side was..her father.
So like this, the two of them opened the door and walked into the room.
This room was dimly lit with just a few candles, but they could see the figure that was sitting there in the center of the room.
When they came in, the figure gestured to the chairs that were in front of them and waited for them to sit down.
The two of them didn't move right away, but seeing that this figure didn't seem to have any ill intentions, they moved forward to sit down..well, there were some ill intentions, but that was just towards Lin Fan and for a different reason.
After all, that figure was staring at them holding hands the entire time.
After they sat down, this person completely ignored Lin Fan as he looked at the cloaked figure of Mu Bao Bao.
At the same time though, they were finally able to see this figure properly.
This was a middle aged man with a stern face and a big gray beard, the look that any wise ruler would have. That was because this man was a ruler, the ruler of this Mu Empire, the current Emperor Mu.
After a long period of silence, Emperor Mu finally said, "Will you take off your hood and let me see you again?"
There was a moment of hesitation, but Mu Bao Bao took off the hood of the cloak in the end since she could hear the sincerity in his voice..
When Emperor Mu saw her face, his eyes immediately started to mist over as he muttered, "You look exactly like your mother."
After he said this, there was an awkward atmosphere that filled the air as no one said a word.
The one that this was the most awkward for was Lin Fan since it almost felt like he shouldn't be here..but he had to stay here to show support for Mu Bao Bao.
But in the end, the one that broke the silence was Mu Bao Bao as she suddenly said, "Why did you abandon me? That is all I want to know."
When Emperor Mu heard this, he couldn't help revealing a shocked look before asking, "Why do you think that you were abandoned?"
Mu Bao Bao revealed a bitter smile when she heard this, "You're telling me that I wasn't abandoned?"
Emperor Mu didn't know what to say in response to this, but Mu Bao Bao didn't stop once the bottle had been uncapped. Once it started, it was hard for her to stop it all from flowing out.
So she continued in a voice that became louder and louder, "I was left in the middle of a forest with nothing but a token, if that isn't called abandoned, then I don't know what is!"
ραΠdαsΝοvel.cοm Emperor Mu suddenly lowered his head when he heard this.
Seeing this, Mu Bao Bao didn't hold back as she continued, "You were able to track me down even though I did all that I could to hide myself in our small town and then you sent the princes after me. Do you really think that you couldn't have come for me before this? Before the Love Sect was destroyed with all the other people that I care about?"
Emperor Mu didn't say a single thing as Mu Bao Bao berated him, taking it all with what seemed to be a calm look on his face. However, when one looked into his eyes, they could see that there was pain being reflected in them.
Her words..hurt him more than he showed on the surface.
After berating him on various things for a while, Mu Bao Bao finally said in a weak voice, "Why didn't you want me?"
That was the thing that she wanted to ask the most in her life.
Ever since she had been found by the sect master of the Love Sect, that was the one thing that she wanted to know.
Emperor Mu's hand was about to come up to reach out towards her, but she just turned around and hugged Lin Fan instead.historical
When this happened, Lin Fan could feel the glare of Emperor Mu falling onto him, but then he saw the sadness in Emperor Mu's eyes.
Lin Fan knew that there was more to this story than meets the eye.
So after calming Mu Bao Bao down a bit, he said, "Bao Bao, how about we listen to what he has to say?"
Mu Bao Bao immediately looked up with a look of betrayal, but her eyes trembled when she saw the serious look on his face.
After a moment of hesitation, she still gave a nod in the end.
In response to this, Emperor Mu looked at Lin Fan with a look of gratitude and a bit of jealousy, but he was surprised to see the serious look on his face.
It was as if Lin Fan was telling him, "You better make up for it and not hurt her, or I'll go all out with you even if I can't win."
Emperor Mu had to admit..that his daughter had found a good man.
After taking a deep breath, Emperor Mu said, "You weren't abandoned..We lost track of you because of a plot from the nobles and sects of the empire. They wanted control over the empire by supporting a prince that was on their side to the throne, so they made you, the successor of the throne, disappear."
