There was no way that the Lin Astral Emperor would have let Lin Fan leave the Lin Astral Empire after what had happened with the ball.
So now that there were signs of movement from the Beast Race, it was even less likely that he would allow them to leave.
The reason why he had called him here in the first place was just to ask his opinion on what they should do.
In a way, it was a sort of test for Lin Fan, as well as giving him guidance. At the same time, he wanted to teach Lin Fan about the matters of the Lin Astral Empire in preparation of him taking over one day.
There was nothing really for Lin Fan to do other than to give his opinion on the matter.
But to everyone's surprise, Lin Ao made a request that shocked them.
"I want to be put in the investigation team."
When they heard this, the other three all looked at him with shocked looks.
