With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods

Chapter 972 Heritage (3)

Huang Xie couldn't help knitting his brows when he saw this before slowly asking, "Master, what are you doing?"

There seemed to be a trace of doubt that was in his voice, which was a first for Huang Xie.

Before this, no matter what Lin Fan did, Huang Xie had never had any doubts towards him.

But this time was different since it clearly seemed like Lin Fan was doing something with the inheritance from his family.

Yes, this inheritance was from his family and not the Huang Family.

It was from the Hei Family.

According to the letter that Huang Xie had just read, this token was the only thing that his mother had taken when she left the Hei Family. It was also the only thing that would allow him to find his way back to the Hei Family so he could meet them again.

If something happened to it...

Lin Fan didn't say anything as he continued focusing on the black token that was in his hand.

When the light slowly started to fade, he finally seemed to come back to his senses as he said, "I was putting a seal on it."

"Seal?" Huang Xie asked in a confused voice.

Lin Fan just gave a simple nod before saying, "I'm sure that you've already figured out what this token is." As he said this, he looked at the letter that was in Huang Xie's hand with eyes that were implying something.

Huang Xie could see this and slowly nodded in agreement while waiting for Lin Fan to explain further.

Lin Fan saw this and said, "Well, you should know that this thing is used to contact the Hei Family, but the problem is that you don't know how to use it for now. At the same time, it's something that can be used to track you as well since it was sending information back just now."

"Isn't that a good thing?" Huang Xie slowly asked him in a slightly confused voice.

"Maybe, maybe not." Lin Fan said with a shrug that made Huang Xie seem even more confused.

Seeing this, Lin Fan continued to explain, "You don't know anything about the Hei Family, do you? Do you know if they'll be what you think they'll be or if they will be another Huang Family? In the end, they just let their daughter die, right?"

It was as if a bolt of lightning hit Huang Xie when he heard this.

There was a part of him that wanted to deny this for his mother's sake, but there was a bigger part of him that recognized that what Lin Fan said was true. He just couldn't ignore the fact that what implications this would have...

So in the end, Huang Xie just slowly nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, Lin Fan shook his head with a faint smile before saying, "Don't get me wrong, it's not as if I'm telling you to never meet them. I'm just saying that it's better to meet them on your own terms than to meet them on their terms. That way, at least you'll have the advantage and will be able to control the meeting. If you let them dictate the terms, there's no telling what will happen."

Huang Xie once again gave a slow nod before asking, "Then what did you do to the token? How did you seal it?"

Only it didn't seem like Huang Xie was a fool either. He was far from the naive kid that had come to the Love Sect's first sect recruitment, he had grown much more mature compared to that time.

The look in his eyes was more than enough to tell that he was already thinking the same thing as Hei Gui.

After another long silence, Huang Xie finally said, "Master, you're right. Until I feel the time is right, I won't go looking for them." Then after a pause, he added, "If they come looking for me, I am willing to sever all connection to the Love Sect."

He said this with a determination like he was ready to die for it.

That was because he actually was.

The Love Sect wasn't just the place that had given him a new lease on life, it had become the place of his new home.

After losing one home, he didn't want to lose another.

Even if it meant sacrificing himself to do it.

Lin Fan shook his head with a bitter smile before saying, "Silly apprentice, what are you thinking? Do you really think so little of the Love Sect that we won't be able to protect you?"

Huang Xie quickly shook his head before saying, "Master, it isn't that. It's just that the Hei Family is most likely..."

His voice trailed off, but the implications were clear.

The look on Hei Gui's face made it seem like he was thinking the same thing.

In fact, Hei Gui seemed like he was even more convinced of this.

He knew how strong the Hei Family was at its peak and even after all this time, he didn't believe that his descendants would be that much weaker.

While Hei Gui admitted that the Love Sect had its specialties, he didn't believe that it would be enough to stop the descendants of his family if they wanted to do something.

Of course, that was just the worst case scenario.

It wasn't a guarantee that the Hei Family would actually do anything to the Love Sect or do anything to Huang Xie.

It was just that it felt like that was a very likely thing.

Lin Fan could see what they were thinking, but he didn't say anything.

In truth, he thought that with the Mimic Slime, he would at least have a chance.

But the Mimic Slime was not something that anyone knew about and not knowledge that he wanted to share, so he didn't say anything and just kept silent in the end.

Hei Gui once again broke the silence by saying, "Let's not think about this for now. It's something for the future."

Lin Fan and Huang Xie nodded in agreement, but the look in their eyes made it clear that they were still thinking about it.
