Huang Xie couldn't help knitting his brows when he saw this before slowly asking, "Master, what are you doing?"
There seed 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 ti was different since it clearly seed like Lin Fan was doing sothing 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 et them again.
If sothing 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 seed to co 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 sothing.
Huang Xie could see this and slowly nodded in agreent 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 sa ti, it's sothing 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 agreent.
Seeing this, Lin Fan shook his head with a faint smile before saying, "Don't get wrong, it's not as if I'm telling you to never et them. I'm just saying that it's better to et them on your own terms than to et them on their terms. That way, at least you'll have the advantage and will be able to control the eting. 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?"
Lin Fan raised the token that he was holding and said, "This is a seal that suppresses the functions of the token, but it can be deactivated when you want to deactivate it. So you don't have to worry about the functions of the token being sealed forever. All you have to do is…"
Lin Fan gave a quick explanation on the seal that he placed on the token before handing it over to Huang Xie.
The talisman that he actually used to make this seal was sothing that he bought from his system store, so there was no doubt of its efficacy. The fact that he was willing to spend this much just showed how much he cared about Huang Xie.
After he finished explaining it, Lin Fan casually handed the token back to Huang Xie without any fuss at all.
Huang Xie looked at the token and didn't know what to say at first.
But eventually, he looked at Lin Fan with a touched look and said, "Thank you, master."
Lin Fan gave a simple nod before saying, "Though it really seems strange that your mother was hiding all of this from you. Even if their relationship was bad, would she not want help in the very end?"
Huang Xie revealed a strange look when he heard this.
He opened and closed his mouth a few tis before remaining silent.
It was as if there was sothing that he wanted to say, but he wasn't able to say it in the end which resulted in an awkward silence.
The one that broke that awkward silence in the end was Hei Gui.
He ca out of the necklace after being silent for so long.
When he ca out, the first thing that he did was float over to Lin Fan's side and take a close look at the token.
Then when Lin Fan handed the token over, Hei Gui said, "It's a good idea to be cautious, there's nothing that is guaranteed in this world."
Then with a sigh, he added, "But I never thought that there would be more descendants of my Hei Family out there. I thought that you would be the only one…"
The way that he said this was almost as if there was a trace of trepidation in his voice. It was as if he was afraid of eting the rest of his progeny.
That was all because of how outstanding Huang Xie had been.
If he were to compare anyone else to Huang Xie, he would find them lacking. At the sa ti, he was also afraid since it was a fact that they had abandoned Huang Xie's mother.
If they were able to make a token like this, then there was no doubt that they would have been able to find Huang Xie's mother or Huang Xie if they really wanted to.

Hei Gui wanted to believe that there was so good reason why they didn't co looking for them, but he knew in his heart what kind of world this was.
If they didn't co for him, then there was only one reason…
But he didn't say it out loud out of fear that he would affect Huang Xie. That was why he kept his doubts in his heart and in his eyes.
Only it didn't seem like Huang Xie was a fool either. He was far from the naive kid that had co to the Love Sect's first sect recruitnt, he had grown much more mature compared to that ti.
The look in his eyes was more than enough to tell that he was already thinking the sa thing as Hei Gui.
After another long silence, Huang Xie finally said, "Master, you're right. Until I feel the ti is right, I won't go looking for them." Then after a pause, he added, "If they co looking for , 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 beco the place of his new ho.
After losing one ho, he didn't want to lose another.
Even if it ant 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 sa thing.
In fact, Hei Gui seed like he was even more convinced of this.
He knew how strong the Hei Family was at its peak and even after all this ti, 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 sothing.
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 Sli, he would at least have a chance.
But the Mimic Sli was not sothing 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 sothing for the future."
Lin Fan and Huang Xie nodded in agreent, but the look in their eyes made it clear that they were still thinking about it.
