Lin Fan was clear what this cough from Wang Jian meant, but there was no need for him to rush this.

After all, this was a very delicate situation and rushing into it would make the situation worse.

After a pause, Qiao Yi Fei said, "This is something that my grandfather has said to give you and it\'s not in my nature to take back gifts after giving them. I will leave this here, whether you take it or not is up to you."

Qiao Yi Fei put the token down on the table in front of her and moved back without even making any movements towards it.

Lin Fan looked down at the token and he could sense the sincerity of the Hunters Organization behind it.

After another pause on Lin Fan\'s end, he looked at Qiao Yi Fei and asked, "What do you think are the Hunters Organization\'s chances in this Ancient Era Ruin?"

Qiao Yi Fei was taken aback by Lin Fan\'s sudden change in topic.

After what had happened the other night and with all the developments with the Thunder Sect over the past few days, she had finally been filled in on everything that had happened between the Hunters Organization and Shi Yan.

Qiao Yi Fei was one of the most talented younger generations that had been raised by the Hunters Organization because of her grandfather, the only reason that she didn\'t have a Hunter License yet was because she was needed to run the Seekers Union. At the same time, she didn\'t want one yet because she still wanted her own freedom to explore, which was what the Seekers Union gave her.

But if she did want one, she could easily pass the Hunters Exam, or even bypass it because of her connections.

As one of the most talented youngsters of the Hunters Organization, there was no doubt that she would be one of the people that would receive a token for this Ancient Era Ruin.

However, they also knew that there might be some foul play from the Thunder Sect in this matter since they were working with two other forces, one in public and one in the shadows. Not to mention that they should already know some parts of this Ancient Era Ruin since they had already explored it, so it would be easy for them to make a move.

This made the Hunters Organization much less confident about their chances in this Ancient Era Ruin.

Unless they were certain, they wouldn\'t send in their most powerful younger generation, but before deciding anything, they would still send in their most powerful younger generation.

It was also why they wanted to bring Lin Fan in since he was the most unpredictable factor.

They had seen his performance in the Hunters Exam and they were still uncertain just what was the limit of his power. Perhaps he would give them a pleasant surprise.

But they couldn\'t rely on Lin Fan alone for this, so they had to find other measures as well.

Of course, the most reliable measure was to find another one of the twelve great factions to ally with, giving them someone to work with on the inside of the Ancient Era Ruin.

However, that was the problem with the Hunters Organization. With how the Hunters Organization was organized, they were considered a neutral organization like the Alchemy King Hall or the Tamers Guild.

Normally they wouldn\'t be involved in this kind of conflict between factions like this.

If it wasn\'t for the involvement of Shi Yan, they would be one of the neutral factions that would have been able to enter the Ancient Era Ruin without much worries.

However, with the involvement of Shi Yan, it was clear that there would be conflict between them and the Thunder Sect, so they would have no choice but to get involved with this kind of conflict. But that also made it harder for them to ally themselves with any other factions because there was a lack of relations between them in the past.

Qiao Yi Fei knew all of this and when she heard these words from Lin Fan, she didn\'t immediately take these words as provocation.

Qiao Yi Fei turned to look at Wang Jian and then back at Lin Fan before suddenly asking, "Are you suggesting what I think you\'re suggesting."

Wang Jian was about to say something, but Lin Fan raised his hand to stop him as he said, "As long as you\'re interested, anything can be discussed."

Qiao Yi Fei narrowed her eyes to look at the two of them again, but then she gave a shrug and said, "There\'s no meaning in us discussing this since no one here can represent the organization behind them."

Qiao Yi Fei then turned to look at Wang Jian with a doubtful look that had a trace of ridicule in it as she said, "Unless you\'re saying that you can represent the organization behind you?"

Wang Jian revealed an awkward smile and didn\'t dare match Qiao Yi Fei\'s gaze since she had hit the nail on the head.

While Wang Jian was powerful, that was only among the younger generation.

There was no doubt that he would become one of the leaders of the Myriad Sword Hall in the future, but that was in the future. Right now he was just one of the younger generation and while he had a bit more power than the rest of the younger generation, he was still just that.

When it came to the entire sect, there were plenty of elders that were stronger than him and had more power than him.

Lin Fan revealed a smile and said, "There\'s no need to make it hard on brother Wang, all he\'s asking for is a meeting."

Qiao Yi Fei looked at the two of them again before she asked, "When do you want the meeting to be?"

Lin Fan looked at Wang Jian before saying, "It\'d be best if we could schedule it as soon as possible. How about tomorrow?"

Qiao Yi Fei paused for a second before giving a nod and saying, "Tomorrow it is."

Lin Fan was a bit surprised by the fact that Qiao Yi Fei accepted this so easily, but he quickly figured out the reason behind this.

It seemed like the Hunters Organization was also feeling the pressure that the Thunder Sect was placing on everyone. While they weren\'t exactly certain when the exploration of the Ancient Era Ruin was, they knew that it was soon.

They didn\'t have much time left to find a solution to the problem that they were facing, so it was better for them to get anything that they wanted done as soon as possible.

Lin Fan gave a nod and then asked, "So how will it be done?"

When they heard this, both Qiao Yi Fei and Wang Jian looked at Lin Fan with looks that showed that they found what Lin Fan said to be funny.

Lin Fan didn\'t understand these looks as he asked in a confused voice, "What\'s wrong?"

Qiao Yi Fei said, "Owner Lin, you seem to know a lot of things, but it doesn\'t seem like you know everything about the twelve great factions."

Wang Jian gave a nod in agreement before saying, "Brother Lin, the twelve great factions naturally have a way of secretly contacting each other. Otherwise, how do you think the Thunder Sect and the True Spirit Sect were able to establish their alliance without anyone noticing?"

Lin Fan realized that he was right.

Both the Thunder Sect and the True Spirit Sect were large organizations, so there would naturally be a lot of attention placed on them.

But at the banquet the other night, many people were clearly surprised when they heard that the Thunder Sect and the True Spirit Sect were working together to excavate this Ancient Era Ruin.

If they didn\'t have a method of secretly contacting each other, that wouldn\'t explain their surprise. In fact, it was the only logical explanation there was.

Lin Fan didn\'t bother thinking any deeper than this because this was something that didn\'t involve him beyond this. After giving a nod, Lin Fan said, "Alright, good luck with your meeting tomorrow."

Both Qiao Yi Fei and Wang Jian revealed confused looks when they heard this.

Lin Fan saw this and asked in a confused voice, "What\'s wrong?"

Qiao Yi Fei said in a voice that seemed like it was natural to her, "Owner Lin, you\'re coming to the meeting too."

Lin Fan was even more confused as he asked, "Why would I be coming? This is a matter between your two factions, how does it concern me?"

Wang Jian said, "You\'re the one that brought our two factions together, so naturally you would be involved. Not to mention that this involves you since you will be going to the Ancient Era Ruin as well."

Lin Fan knitted his brows when he heard this and said, "I already said that I\'m not going to the Ancient Era Ruin. So how will this involve me?"

Qiao Yi Fei then rebutted with, "Then what about Shi Yan? Do you think that he will leave you alone just because you don\'t go? In the end, you can\'t avoid him and you will have to deal with him eventually."

Lin Fan knitted his brows even more when he heard this.

That was right, there was still the matter of Shi Yan.

If it wasn\'t for Shi Yan, he wouldn\'t have been forced to deal with this mess in the first place.

After thinking for a bit, Lin Fan gave a sigh and said, "Alright, when is it?"
