Since that matter had been settled, it was now time to deal with the final problem that Lin Fan had had doubts about the entire time.

The Black Tortoise Race…

This was the only race that he hadn’t made a contract with a pet that had the ancestral bloodline.

So he didn’t know what would happen if he went to the Black Tortoise Race now.

But it was also the last place that he had to go, so he didn’t want to leave it for later.

He wanted to figure out the mystery of the combined stone.

Though the other problem that he had was that he knew that the Black Tortoise Race wouldn’t give him the stone since he didn’t have a pet with the ancestral bloodline.

After being with the elders of the Dragon Race, the Phoenix Race, and the Qilin Race for a bit, he had learned something from them. They had told him that if it wasn’t for him bringing the true descendant back to their races, they wouldn’t have given him the Dragon Stone, the Phoenix Stone, and the Qilin Stone.

While he hadn’t asked the elders of the White Tiger Race about this yet, he was sure that it would be the same.

But just to make sure.

Lin Fan suddenly asked the White Tiger Race’s Great Elders, “If I didn’t come with Xiao Bai, would you still have given me this White Tiger Stone?”

When the Great Elders heard this, they couldn’t help revealing an awkward look.

It was the same for all of the elders around them who had heard this.

After a long period of silence, the two Great Elders gave honest nods in response to this question.

Lin Fan had already guessed that this was the case, but having this confirmed did make it worse…𝑜𝑣𝓁xt.𝒞𝓞𝐌

So he guessed that if he went to the Black Tortoise Race now, all he would do was come back empty handed…Unless he was able to find a pet with the Black Tortoise ancestral bloodline.

However, that was something that was close to impossible.

After all, this was a bloodline that hadn’t appeared in billions of years since the ancestors of the five sacred beast races.

If it hadn’t been for the system, Lin Fan wouldn’t have even been able to get the four that he already had. So it was impossible for him to find one out in the wild.

Lin Fan did already have temporary contracts with members of the Black Tortoise Race, but to train them up now…was not an easy thing. There was no way that he would have the time for that.

So in the end, there really was no other option for him…

The only thing that he could do now was go to the Black Tortoise Race and hope that they would give him what he wanted.

As for his optimism towards that…it was in the pit.

He knew that the chances were basically zero, but he still had to take this chance.

As for his best chance of success, that would all depend on the support of the four other tribes.

Since he had already made the connection with the four other races, he would use this connection to help him with the Black Tortoise Race.

Once all of the elders had finished checking the stone, Lin Fan changed the subject by saying, “I’m going to the Black Tortoise Race, can you prepare a transport for me?”

When the elders of the White Tiger Race heard this, they all revealed bitter and shocked looks.

After all, their true descendant had just returned to the tribe and there were still things that they needed to pass down to them. At the same time, they had wanted to introduce the true descendant to a few people.

Unlike the case with the Dragon Race, the Phoenix Race, and the Qilin Race, there wasn’t someone that was engaged to Xiao Bai who could bind him to the White Tiger Race.

So the elders had wanted to find someone for Xiao Bai.

They wanted to lock him down before he could leave the White Tiger Race so that he would be bound to them regardless of where he was.

But Lin Fan wasn’t giving them that chance.

When the elders from the three other races saw this, they all revealed bitter smiles since they were familiar with this.

This was something that they had also experienced when Lin Fan had been at their races. It was just that they had a better situation since Lin Fan had also shown them that Xiao Huo, Xiao Feng, and Xiao Lei were all engaged to members of their respective races.

So now the elders had to find a way to keep them here…

None of the elders replied when Lin Fan asked this question as they all looked at each other with bitter looks.

But while they were like this, their brains were turning to see if they could find some kind of solution for this problem.

Lin Fan could see what they were thinking, so he said, “If possible, I would like to leave as soon as possible. There’s only the Black Tortoise Race left to visit, so I want to see if there will be anything that changes when I arrive.”

This was a subtle way of bringing back the prophecy that their ancestors had left behind to put pressure on them.

After all, they didn’t know how to fulfill it, but they knew that the Void God’s successor had to meet all of the five sacred beast races.

The sooner that he met them, the sooner that this prophecy might come true.

So they had even less reason to deny him.

Finally, one of the Great Elders suddenly said, “What about Xiao Bai’s mother? I’m sure that she had a tribe, shouldn’t we let Xiao Bai meet them first?”

As soon as he said this, all of the elders started agreeing to this.

They knew that this was one of the few straws that they could grasp at to get Xiao Bai and Lin Fan to stay at their White Tiger Race, so they didn’t hesitate to grab at it.

It was just too bad…that their information was lacking.

“Xiao Bai’s mother was born in the wild and didn’t have a tribe. Her parents were killed in a territory battle, so she wandered around until she met Xiao Bai’s father.” Lin Fan said in a deadpan voice.

The moment that they heard this, all of them couldn’t help revealing awkward expressions.

They also turned to peek at Xiao Bai who was sitting there, but it seemed like Xiao Bai didn’t understand what they were talking about. Instead, Xiao Bai had his eyes closed and was nuzzling up against Angela’s chest, almost as if he was asleep.

Seeing this, they couldn’t help letting out a sigh of relief.

If they had accidentally hurt Xiao Bai because of this, it would just make their position worse.

After all, they didn’t know a single thing about Xiao Bai other than his connection to Tu Hong.

They had sent people to investigate, but these were details about someone that they had never heard of before in the White Tiger Race. They had to send people out further to investigate the background of Xiao Bai’s parents.

It was just too bad that they never expected something this tragic to happen.

At the same time, they all couldn’t help blaming Tu Lei for all of this. If it hadn’t been for Tu Lei spurring all of them on in the past, they wouldn’t have lost this true descendant in the first place.

He would have been safely cared for in the White Tiger Race, waiting for Lin Fan’s arrival.

But now…they had to deal with this troublesome situation.

The elders all came to a decision.

When they removed Tu Lei from his position as the head of the Brown Stripe White Tiger Tribe in the future, they would be more ruthless…

So with no other straws to grasp at, the Great Elder had no choice but to say in a defeated voice, “Just give us a week, we need that much time to prepare the ships.”

Lin Fan shook his head and said in a firm voice, “Three days.”

All of the elders revealed ugly expressions when they heard this.

They could tell from Lin Fan’s voice that he wouldn’t change his mind on this, but…three days was just too short.

So the Great Elders put down their face and asked, “Three days is just too short of a time, we need a bit more…”

Lin Fan looked at them before saying, “Four days and no more.”

When the elders heard this, they all revealed bitter smiles. However, a single day was still a day more and it could be considered a win.

As for the elders of the other races, they couldn’t help revealing looks of shock.

They had asked the same thing, but Lin Fan had denied it and firmly insisted on three days.

So why had he changed his mind now?

That was because the situation was different this time.

Before, the ones that were connected to the three races had already been there before and had left on their own accord.

Since that was the case, there was no need for Lin Fan to be considerate.

But in Xiao Bai’s case, this was his first time at the White Tiger Race and his first time meeting his father, so Lin Fan felt that he should give him an extra day.

That was the least he could do.
