The Strongest System

Chapter 458: Seems Like The Human Race Is Pretty Famous After All

Looking at the little kid prancing away from the forest, Lin Fan could not help but grin. By the looks of it, this kid seemed pretty familiar with this place. He wondered where the kid would lead up to.

Before long, Lin Fan stopped in his tracks upon catching sight of the scenery before him. To think that a village would exist within these mountainous regions as well.

At the same time, there seemed to be some mysterious, invisible membrane surrounding the village, preventing any aura from being emanated out of it, thus avoiding detection.

This must probably be a safety measure set up by them.

At the entrance of the village stood an elderly man. He surveyed his surroundings anxiously with a look of worry. It was as though he was waiting for something.

”Grandpa…!” Just then, the kid who Lin Fan had been trailing leaped out of the woods towards the direction of the elderly man.

’What’s up with this situation?’ Lin Fan looked at the wings behind the elderly man. This was evidently a being of the Wings race. How could he be the Grandpa of his kid from the Fox race?

”Xuan Er! Where had you gone to? How could you run about like that?” The elderly winged man’s face was solemn. However, knowing that his granddaughter was safe and sound, he couldn’t help but heave out in relief.

”Grandpa, don’t be mad, alright? Xuan Er knows her mistakes!” Xuan Er nodded her head.

As though she suddenly recalled something, she continued, ”That’s right, Grandpa! I bumped into someone outside!”

”Hmm?” The elderly winged man’s face changed for a moment. ”Ancient race being?”

”Nopes! He looked exactly the same as me, just that he didn’t have a tail! He asked me where the adults were, but I didn’t tell him anything!” Xuan Er giggled happily.

”Did he follow you back?” The face of the elderly winged man grew stern once more. He had a bad feeling about this. This was a really isolated part of the world. How would anyone appear in the vicinity?

”Nopes! That guy was really stupid! So silly, hehe…!” Xuan Er continued her giggles as she grinned with pride towards her intellect.

Lin Fan, who was in Stealth mode and standing behind her all the while, was helpless right now. To think that this little thingy would call him silly! That was unbearable, gosh!

”Little one there, it’s not right to talk bad about others behind their backs, you know?” A voice suddenly rang out.

Xuan Er froze up on the spot. At the same time, the elderly winged man hurriedly pulled Xuan Er behind his back and called out warily, ”Who’s there!”

”Everyone, please be at ease. I mean no harm.” Lin Fan appeared before the both of them.

”I-I obviously hid away from you! How could you have…?” Xuan Er was filled with disbelief right now. She had obviously left this guy behind! How could he have followed her back?

”Heh, little one there. You’re too naïve, aren’t you?” Lin Fan chuckled. He then cusped his fists towards the elderly winged man, ”I am Lin Fan, a member of the human race from Xuanhuang World. I have just ascended into the Ancient Saint World recently.”

Looking at the suspicious look on the elderly winged man’s face, Lin Fan felt that it was better for him to announce his identity to put the man at ease.

At the same time, Lin Fan could not help but wonder just how treacherous the entire Ancient Saint World was for everyone to be consistently on their guard as such.

And indeed, the moment Lin Fan reported his identity, that grim face of the elderly winged man gradually eased. However, he was still slightly guarded against Lin Fan.

”Human race?” The elderly winged man seemed to be slowly reminiscing about something.

Suddenly, his face changed, ”Please enter…!”

”Huh…?” Lin Fan was stunned. He did not understand what was going on right now.

”Grandpa, he bullied me just now!” Looking at how her grandpa was being friendly with this stranger, Xuan Er complained grudgingly.

”Xuan Er, do not be rude…” The elderly winged man patted Xuan Er on her head gently.

”Little one, I did not bully you, hoho.” Lin Fan chuckled at the little kid.

Xuan Er tossed Lin Fan a glance and huffed out loudly before running into the village.

”This kid…” The elderly winged man shook his head exasperatedly.

…

Lin Fan then followed the elderly winged man into the village. The village wasn’t too big. However, seeing the stranger Lin Fan, everyone’s eyes were filled with surprise.

At the same time, Lin Fan was curious about these people as well.
