With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods

It was the status of this child that was given to him by his Appraisal Eyes.

He was surprised that it had suddenly popped up when he didn't even use his Appraisal Eyes, but there was something else that shocked him even more about this status.

It was the title that this child had.

"Companion of the Heaven's Chosen."

Even if Lin Fan wanted to deny this, it was impossible when it was right there in front of his face. This status screen made it very clear that there was this title, it even seemed like the font was a bit bigger than the rest of the status as if it really wanted him to see it.

There was a strange look that appeared on Lin Fan's face as he looked at this child, but that had a negative effect.

The child had been dazed since they hadn't expected someone to fall down and save them like this. But when they saw the way that Lin Fan was looking at them, it filled them with an uneasy feeling.

The child couldn't help taking a step back away from Lin Fan even though he saved them.

The way that the child was looking at Lin Fan was almost like how prey viewed a predator.

As if Lin Fan was someone to be feared.

When Lin Fan came back to his senses, he realized his mistake and an awkward smile appeared on his face.

He thought about what to say, but then he realized that at this point, saying what he could have said before would just seem suspicious. He had raised the doubt in the child, so it was hard for him to clear it with just words.

Instead…

Lin Fan turned around to leave, as if he wasn't going to do anything to the child.

The child stood there in a daze as if they couldn't understand what was happening, but then they suddenly started chasing after Lin Fan.

That was because this child knew that if they remained here, they would be blamed for what had happened to the one that had attacked them. They were already in trouble with the lackeys, if they were to get in trouble with the one behind the lackeys…

Well, they just wouldn't survive.

So the only thing that could be done was to cling to the one that had actually killed the lackeys.

After sensing the child running forward, Lin Fan suddenly turned around which made the child stop and take a cautious stance towards him.

Lin Fan just calmly looked at the child and asked, "What do you want?"

The child didn't know what to say when they heard this, but then it was as if they had gathered their courage to say, "You're the one that killed them, so what happens if I get blamed for this? If you're going to help, you should help until the end."

An amused look appeared on Lin Fan's when he heard this.

This certainly wasn't what he had been expecting to hear from this child, but he found it funny that they would say something like this.

As expected of a companion of the Heaven's Chosen, he really couldn't judge them with a normal standard.

It seemed that they would always find some kind of way to surprise him.

But instead of assuring the child, Lin Fan just simply said, "I helped you and now you want to hold me responsible? I don't think I have any obligations."

The child was shocked to hear this.

This was a person that was willing to help a random stranger, but then they completely abandoned them after helping them once. They really didn't seem to care about the plight that they were in…

So the only thing that the child could do was…

"Please, save me and my family." The child fell to their knees and grabbed Lin Fan's leg.

This time, there was an awkward feeling that filled Lin Fan.

He had expected the child to start begging, it was just that he never expected the child to go this far.

However, he didn't say anything as he just looked at the child, as if he was just silently observing them. That just went to put pressure on the child who lowered their head even more and hugged Lin Fan's leg tighter.

After a long moment of silence, Lin Fan said, "It seems that you're not normal."

The child looked up with a surprised and confused look when they heard this.

Lin Fan lifted the child by the collar and made them stand up before asking, "Child, what is your name?"

The child looked at Lin Fan with the same confused look that had a trace of wariness to it, but in the end, the child still said, "He Chun Hua."

Lin Fan gave a nod before saying, "Do you want to become a cultivator?"

"Can I?" He Chun Hua asked back the moment that she heard this.

Her eyes had opened wide with shock, but there was also a glint to it as if some kind of fire had been lit inside of her.

That was because in this world, the only thing that mattered was one's power and the ones that stood at the peak of this world were cultivators. So when she, who never even had a chance to come in contact with the cultivation world was offered the chance to cultivate, it was hard for her to hold back her excitement.

But that glow in her eyes seemed to dim a bit, almost as if she realized something.

There was a trace of hesitation that filled her since she realized that there was no free meal in this world. There had to be a reason that this person who saved her was offering her the chance to become a cultivator.

She had heard stories that there were cultivators that took young girls to become cultivation cauldrons. They would pretend like they were training them to become a cultivator only to take their cultivation for themselves.

Lin Fan could see the hesitation that was in her eyes, so he said, "You have a special physique, that's why I want to take you into my sect. If you join my sect, then I'll help you solve your problems in the mortal world before taking you back."

He Chun Hua still had traces of doubt in her eyes, but when Lin Fan laid his cards out on the table like this…it was hard to say that there wasn't a part of her that was moved by this.

The temptation of the chance to become a cultivator was strong and it was hard for her to ignore it. If she were to miss this chance, there was no telling when she would ever get this same chance again.

After a moment of hesitation, she asked, "What sect do you belong to?"

Lin Fan didn't answer this question. He just looked at her as if he was waiting for her answer. Experience exclusive tales on empire

It didn't seem like he was planning on giving her any more information than this.

He Chun Hua bit her lip when she saw this.

There was a part of her that wanted to leave because of this, but there was a stronger part of her that wanted to take his offer.

So in the end, she said, "Can you really make sure that my family won't suffer if I leave with you?"

Lin Fan gave a simple nod before saying, "I can't make it so that they live as kings, but I can make it so they won't worry about their livelihood when you're gone. I at least have this kind of power."

He Chun Hua once again bit her lip when she heard this, but after a moment of hesitation, she said, "Alright, I'll follow you back to your sect."

Lin Fan once again gave a simple nod when he heard this before letting her go so she fell back onto her own two feet.

He watched as she brushed herself off before turning to look at him.

Seeing the way that she looked at him, Lin Fan just said, "Tell me who those people were just now."

He Chun Hua was surprised to hear him say this, but she didn't hesitate to tell him what he wanted to know.

This group belonged to one of the gangs in this city and this gang was notorious for lending money. That included lending money to He Chun Hua's family because her little brother had gotten ill and they needed money for medicine.

They hadn't been able to pay for a long time, so that was when these lackeys suddenly ambushed He Chun Hua.

They had been planning to cut off one of her fingers as a warning since a finger wasn't that big of an injury.

"How big is this gang?" Lin Fan asked when she was finished explaining.

He Chun Hua was once again surprised to hear this, but she calmed down when she remembered the way that he took down the thugs and how this person in front of her was a cultivator.

It was only natural that this person wasn't afraid of a gang in a city like this.

"They have three streets on the north side of the city, so they aren't considered a small gang." He Chun Hua obediently replied.

Lin Fan gave a simple nod before thinking about what to do.

He had wanted to avoid causing trouble in this city, but if he was to do it…

He wanted to kill two birds with one stone.
