Chapter 275: Chapter 275 Initiative.
"So they found it".
With one quick glance, he put down the phone and hurried to prepare for the outing. As usual, the place was a bit deserted despite its prestigious name.
He is currently walkingn the center district and his purpose was to search one of his family heirloom that accidently have been found by some archeologist.
Lin Fan himself is aware of whose blood he comes from, and with his bloodline, he tries to search for the remnant of the Ancient Era from his ancestor to help him get stronger and protect his family.
One thing he didn\'t expect was the crowded place the market was during the holiday. Reluctantly, in a sour mood, he trespassed the crowded street and eventually stood in front of a run-down store.
Without hesitation, he pushed the door and alarmed the woman inside.
"Welcome, how can I help you?".
Lin Fan ignored the woman\'s greeting and began to search for some book his subordinates had told him. He searched the book he was looking for using the appraisal item in his hand, but nothing could be found.
"Customer, is there anything you want to help with?".
The woman who looked at his troubled gesture offered Lin Fan her hand, but internally, he clicked his tongue at his incompetent subordinates, who had given him false information, embarrassing him in front of people.
However, Lin Fan held back his anger and calmly turned toward the woman.
"Did you have some book that has unusual text that can\'t be read even by Appraisal item?".
Lin fan had already half-given up after he posed this question, but strangely, the woman was taken aback as she was stunned in silence. "Huh, no way!" he muttered.
"Do you have it?!".
The woman sprung back from her shocked state as she saw Lin Fan in close distance, putting both of his palms on the table.
"Um, just not too long ago there is someone who bought it?".
"Buy it? No way. There is no one who can read the text in the book except his bloodline, who has been taught ever since little, but to think there is someone who dares to buy that book. Tch, this is getting troublesome". Lin Fan muttered in his mind.
He turned his back and hurriedly left the store, making the woman stand blankly, looking at his retreating figure. Feeling slightly desperate, he began to tour the place randomly in the hope of finding the fellow who had bought the book he had been searching for all this time.
However, after looking in many places, he couldn\'t find it. In the first place, it was an impossible job. It was like searching for a needle in a haystack.
The sun hung above, casting a glare that stung his skin and his temper. He tried to look for somewhere to eat, and from the corner of his eyes, he found a place that sold Mapo tofu, one of his favorite dishes.
As he approached the store, he stood in front of its entrance and coincidentally met his classmates. His eyes shrank into a dangerous state, for the one he met was none other than Soma, and the daughter of one of the famous families in Chinese, Xiao Lian.
"Tch".
"Lin Fan, what are you doing here?".
Soma saw an unexpected person show up in front of him. Lin Fan ignored his greeting and directly entered the store. He exchanged looks with Xiao Lian, who seemed to be already unable to wait any longer.
The two of them entered, and the room was filled to the brim with family. It seemed the seat would not be empty for a while.
One of the waitresses approached their side while looking apologetic.
"I am sorry, both of you but our current seat was fully occupied."
Then, one of her co-workers who saw the incoming Soma and Xiao Lian acted fast and asked for a seat alone to share a table. After getting consent from the person, she approached Soma\'s side and flashed her customer smile.
"Are the two of you not mind if its sharing seats?".
"Mm, No problem".
"Thank you, please follow me!".
The seats the waitress showed them were none other than the Lin Fan seat, which was in the corner. Noticing that it was Soma and Xiao Lian who were coming, he threw away his gaze to the faraway land while cursing internally. "I can ignore that boy completely, but it would be a different story if it\'s that girl who came to me.
Whatever it is, she still holds some reputation in her household after being chosen by the sacred weapon".
The three of them began to order their food, and they ordered the same menu but with some extra dumplings for Xiao Lian.
Soma parted his lips, looking at Xiao Lian, who excitedly awaited the food to come. He turned to his front and found Lin Fan, who threw his gaze away to the side. Carefully, Soma began to arrange his words to speak with him.
"Is it coincidence meeting you here, Lin Fan?".
"...".
"Are you going to this place at this time just to eat outside?".
"...".
"Are you perhaps having some problem with your ears?".
"Shut up, don\'t talk to me!".
"So, you can talk but can\'t hear, eh?".
Lin Fan, who was provoked by those words, clenched his fist down the table as he glared, filled with killing intent, at Soma. However, Soma casually brushed off his bloodlust and lifted the corner of his lips.
"Thanks for waiting".
When the food finally arrived, they began to turn their attention toward it, forgetting the tension that had almost built up in this crowded place.
They enjoyed their food in silence, and occasionally, Soma would turn his attention toward Lin Fan, who was having a hearty meal, which made him chuckle internally.
"He still didn\'t answer my first question in the front of the store earlier. I feel that our meeting here was not some sort of coincidence, and if my feeling was right then Lin fan probably was…, But, also the question is. How can he know?". Soma muttered in his heart while wholeheartedly enjoying the stinging taste that burned his tongue and roused his addiction to keep slurping more.
The soft tofu that melts in his mouth and the tender meat that spreads its juicy fat on its plate enhance the taste further, making his tongue dance in joy.
After the males had finished their meal, Xiao Lian shifted her attention toward the dumplings and gulped them happily, which made Soma enjoy seeing her face.
Lin Fan stood from his seat with a thud, indicating he wanted to go. But Soma had foreseen this and struck ferociously.
"Are you looking for some book with breathing techniques?".
When those words slipped his mouth, Lin Fan\'s aura instantly changed. His body trembled furiously, which made Soma sigh in relief for his right guess. Apparently, what made Lin Fan grow so exponentially in the future was the Breathing technique that he got at that store. If that is the case, then Soma was having a Jackpot.
"Lin Fan, let\'s negotiate".
