Chapter 520 New Store (4)
After being surprised, there were all kinds of whispers that rang out once again.
"What's going on here? Didn't you say that he was the Ghost Chef's disciple?"
"That was what was said on the forums. I didn't personally check it either."
"Didn't you see that other post though? This was the person that was with Flower Qiao, so how could it be fake? Not only did he inherit the Ghost Chef's store, he was also with Flower Qiao, so that could only be the explanation!"
"Right, I saw that post too! I was very angry when I saw it, but if he's also the Ghost Chef's disciple…"
Lin Fan could understand a few things from the whispers that he heard.
It seemed like the Ghost Chef that they were all talking about was the ancestor of the Qiao Family and this used to be his store.
Lin Fan had already heard that old man Qiao was a Gourmet Hunter, but he never knew that he was this famous though…
This made him even more curious why old man Qiao had given him the store, but it wasn't the time to think about that right now. After all, his store was currently surrounded by all these people who seemed like they were about to riot.
So Lin Fan said, "Everyone, I am not the disciple of the Ghost Chef like you all think. I am simply his acquaintance because I myself am a hunter. When I talked to him about a space, he offered me this store which is why I'm currently running a pet training shop here."
Everyone understood when they heard this, but then they looked at Lin Fan with another round of shocked looks.
After all, if they hadn't made a mistake, they had just heard Lin Fan admit that he was a hunter.
Just how young was Lin Fan?
He was now claiming that not only was he Master Monster Trainer, he was also one of the people who owned the rare hunter license?
It was just too unbelievable.
However, before anyone could call Lin Fan out on this, there was a beast carriage that arrived.
When the door of the beast carriage opened, it revealed Qiao Yi Fei.
Qiao Yi Fei was surprised to see the crowd that was gathered in front of the store, but she still moved forward towards Lin Fan's store.
When the crowd saw her walking towards Lin Fan's store, they immediately parted to create a path for her like they had done for Lin Fan.
As one of the Five Flowers of Harmony City, naturally she was someone that everyone in the crowd recognized with a single look. Plus, there had been that rumour about her and Lin Fan that had been posted on the forums, so they were curious to see if it was true after all.
But before she could even make her way over to the door, there was another beast carriage that appeared.
When the door to this beast carriage opened, it revealed Mao Tao.
Mao Tao was also one of the Five Flowers of Harmony City, so she was someone that had quite a bit of fame in Harmony City. The moment she stepped out, there were plenty of people that pointed at her as they started whispering.
Of course, she saw that Qiao Yi Fei was also here, so she moved to the side, away from the path that had opened up for Qiao Yi Fei.
It really was too bad for the people who were were in between the two paths since they had to squeeze together, but that also meant that they weren't that far away from both of these beauties.
It was just too bad that this didn't end here since there was a third beast carriage that appeared.
When this third beast carriage stopped, the door opened to reveal Fu Ling.
As another one of the Five Flowers of Harmony City, Fu Ling was also immediately recognized by the crowd, however there was a different reaction compared to the last two.
The other two had already been rumoured to have some kind of relationship with Lin Fan already since there had been posts about them on the city forums, but there hadn't been a single thing about Fu Ling.
For three different Flowers of Harmony City to appear at the opening of Lin Fan's store at the same time, naturally this was something that was very strange.
Fu Ling ignored everyone and went in between the paths that had been created for Qiao Yi Fei and Mao Tao. Then looking at the people who were squeezed in there, she waited for a few seconds before they parted ways to create a path for her.
They were definitely stretching themselves thin by making a third path for her, but they wouldn't have had the chance to come this close to one of the Five Flowers of Harmony City normally. Not to mention that there were three of them right there in front of them. Even if it was a bit uncomfortable for them to do this, they were happy to do so since they could smell the fragrance that came from them.
When the three girls made their way to the entrance, they all glared at each other and didn't say a thing.
Even though their grandparents were all leaders in the Hunters Organization and they had grown up together, there was tension between them because they were all known as the Five Flowers of Harmony City. It was too bad since they had been quite good friends when they were younger.
Of course, it was no coincidence that all three of them were here at the same time.
There was no need to mention Qiao Yi Fei who had been sent here by her grandfather, as for the other two, their grandparents were high level members of the Hunters Organization, so they also knew about old man Qiao giving Lin Fan this store.
As both of them wanted to take Lin Fan as a grandson in law, naturally they would send their granddaughters to the opening of Lin Fan's store as well.
After a moment of silence, it was surprisingly the shyest looking girl, Mao Tao who came up to Lin Fan first instead of Qiao Yi Fei who should have been closest to him.
Mao Tao came right up to Lin Fan and said, "Young master Lin, it's mean of you not to invite me to the opening of your store."
Lin Fan revealed an awkward smile as he felt needles stabbing him from inside the shop, but he still said, "Miss Mao, this isn't anything special and you're an important hunter, how could I invite you to something as small as this?"
Fu Ling also came forward to say, "Then what about me? I'm not a hunter, so I'm more free. You just didn't want to invite me?"
Lin Fan thought that they weren't close at all, so why would he invite her? But of course, he didn't say it out loud.
Instead, Lin Fan said, "Miss Fu, this is just a small event. How could I invite someone as important as you?"
Qiao Yi Fei finally also came forward to say, "Then what about me? This was my grandfather's store and you're not even inviting me? Are you looking down on me and my grandfather?"
Normally Qiao Yi Fei wouldn't say anything since she wasn't interested in Lin Fan like her grandfather wanted her to be, however with the other two here…her pride didn't allow her to back down.
The smile on Lin Fan's face became even more awkward when Qiao Yi Fei joined in. He was expecting her to be the only person who didn't join in, but she betrayed him in the end.
The stabbing sensation in his back became even stronger, but there was nothing he could do since there were plenty of people who were watching.
Mao Tao pouted her cheeks when she saw that the other two were also making her move, but she knew that what they were doing was making things awkward for Lin Fan, so she said, "Young master Lin, how about we go in and take a look at your store."
When the other two heard this, they both gave nods because they also knew that they
were making things awkward for Lin Fan.
Lin Fan didn't want to let them into his store since he knew that this would make things worse, but he couldn't deny their advertising effect.
There were plenty of males in the crowd and many of them were staring at the three of them. Of course, every one of them had their own favourites, but that didn't stop them from staring at the three of them since all three of them were beauties of different tastes.
Since that was the case, Lin Fan opened the door for them and said, "After you."
The three beauties looked at each other before heading forward at the same time. Not a single one of them was willing to back down to the other two, so it was awkward since the door couldn't fit all three of them at once.
Still, they eventually got into the store and were surprised by how neat it was.
Naturally they knew that the store had been abandoned previously, so to decorate the store in just a single night, Lin Fan must have really put in some effort.
After looking around the store, they turned to the counter where instead of simply being surprised, they were shocked by what they saw.
