It turned out that Mo Xue was indeed being sincere.
Even though Lin Fan had been on guard all night, there was nothing that happened.
When the next day came, they returned to the borders of the Mu Empire.
With Mo Xue guiding them, they arrived back at the borders of the Mu Empire much sooner than they had expected. It seemed that he wasn’t slower than the spiritual boat that Elder Qian had used to bring them to the Martial Might Sect previously.
The only reason they had gone a bit slower was because they had injured people and had to take that night to rest up first.
But once they arrived at the border, they were allowed to pass without any problems.
It seemed that Mo Xue also had some power in the Wu Empire, so the Wu Empire soldiers allowed them to cross the borders without any issues.
Just like Mo Xue had said, it showed how he didn’t have any plans at all towards the Love Sect.
After sending them to the border and helping them pass, the Demon Palm Sect just left without any problems.
With how easily they left, it was clear that they didn’t have anything planned.
It seemed that Lin Fan had been thinking too much, or rather…it might be that Mo Xue was covering for them.
That was most likely the reason why he had made that offer to Lin Fan.
If that was the case, Lin Fan really had to wonder if he was worth it…
Once they were back in the territory of the Mu Empire, everyone seemed much more relaxed and relieved.
After all, they were now in a place that was much more familiar to them. They were now in a place where they had far more control.
They wouldn’t have to keep looking over their shoulders for enemies that may or may not be there.
But that didn’t mean that they were done traveling yet. There was still one more place that they had to go before doing anything else.
They still had to report back to Mu Bao Bao about everything that happened.
They had gone on behalf of the Mu Empire, so it wasn’t as if they could just return without reporting what happened to Mu Bao Bao.
But then again, it wasn’t as if there was anywhere else to go for Lin Fan and the Love Sect group. Mu Bao Bao was in Dungeon City which was their home, so they would have to go there anyway.
It was the young geniuses of the Mu Empire and the generals that went that had to go back to report.
On the way, Lin Fan pulled Huang Xie aside first.
“I know what you want to ask me. What was that burst of power that I used to resist that old man from the Five Great Sects, right?” Huang Xie spoke first before Lin Fan could say anything.
Lin Fan just looked at Huang Xie in silence for a bit before shaking his head.
Huang Xie was surprised to see this, but then he asked, “What did you call me out for?”
There was a trace of wariness in his voice, as if he was afraid of something happening.
However…Lin Fan didn’t have such intentions.
Lin Fan didn’t say anything as he looked at the necklace that was on Huang Xie’s neck.
As far as he remembered, Huang Xie seemed to be saying something to that necklace after using that special attack. At the same time, he didn’t remember Huang Xie having this necklace before.
Others might not know what this was, but it was impossible for Lin Fan not to know.
This was a special trope from his past life that most people knew after all.
“Is he alright?” Lin Fan suddenly asked this.
Huang Xie was confused at first as he didn’t know what Lin Fan was referring to at first, but then he slowly looked down at the necklace that was on him and revealed a look of understanding.
That look of understanding quickly changed to a look of shock and disbelief.
He just looked up at Lin Fan with this look of disbelief.
Of course, there was also a trace of wariness in his eyes as he looked at him.
Even though Lin Fan was the master that he thought he could trust, the things that he was doing now seemed so suspicious that Huang Xie couldn’t help feeling strange.
Lin Fan saw this and could tell what the situation was.
So with a sigh, he said, “Forget about that now. We should make sure that he’s able to recover.”
Huang Xie was shocked to hear this, but he slowly came around as he realized that Lin Fan was right.
However, that just made him look depressed as he slowly said, “He’s not responding after that fight. It seems like he might even be gone…”
Lin Fan gave a nod as if he wasn’t surprised by this before moving closer to Huang Xie.
Huang Xie looked like he wanted to move back at first, but then he realized that there was no point and just stood there. He watched Lin Fan to see what Lin Fan was planning to do.
Lin Fan didn’t do anything other than come to his side and reach out for the necklace.
He lifted the necklace up and then looked at it with narrowed eyes, as if he was examining it.
Huang Xie didn’t seem like he was going to do anything, but he made sure to watch Lin Fan just in case anything happened.
Lin Fan didn’t care since he was focused on using his Appraisal Eyes on the necklace.
As expected, there was a ghost grandpa in the necklace and he found that the ghost grandpa wasn’t gone. It seemed that the ghost grandpa had just used the essence of his soul for that attack and had depleted it.
He didn’t shatter his soul, but he didn’t have the energy to remain conscious.
If he was left alone to recover, it would be unknown how long it would take for him to recover.
If it followed the normal trope of grandpa in a necklace, it would all depend on Huang Xie.
It would most likely happen when Huang Xie was in some kind of danger and it would only happen after he goes all out to find some kind of special elixir that would help the grandpa in the necklace awaken. However, that kind of stuff would result in him suffering quite a bit, both physically and mentally.
It was the kind of thing that was required for growth, but it was also quite dangerous.
This was the Heaven’s Chosen of their sect, so it wasn’t as if Lin Fan could just leave him to it.
Especially since Lin Fan had a much simpler solution for this problem.
While the other main characters would have to work hard, Huang Xie didn’t have to since he had a cheat known as Lin Fan as a master. Or rather, it was because Lin Fan had a cheat known as a system.
The special elixir that was needed to revive the grandpa in the necklace was something that he could just buy from the Dungeon Master System.
He had already checked the Dungeon Master System’s store after seeing what the situation with the necklace was and had found the thing to take care of it.
It didn’t even cost that much for him to exchange for it.
The only problem was…
Was it alright for him to be interfering like this?
There was no doubt that this was part of the development path for the Heaven’s Chosen. It could even be said that this was the path that the heavens were putting Huang Xie on.
So if he were to suddenly interfere like this, would he receive the punishment of the heavens?
Or would Huang Xie even lose his title as the Heaven’s Chosen for taking the easy way out?
These were the things that Lin Fan was concerned with as he looked at the necklace in his hand.
Seeing that Lin Fan didn’t say anything, Huang Xie couldn’t help revealing a worried look.
It almost seemed like Lin Fan had noticed something and he wasn’t saying anything.
That was the worst case scenario for Huang Xie.
Finally, Huang Xie couldn’t take it anymore and asked, “Master, what’s wrong?”
Lin Fan was pulled out of his thoughts when he heard Huang Xie’s voice.
He looked up from the necklace to look at Huang Xie’s face.
The way that Huang Xie looked at him, it seemed that there was once again some trust for him since he was Huang Xie’s master. Though there was still a look of doubt as Huang Xie didn’t have an idea of what Lin Fan was doing.
After thinking about it for a bit, Lin Fan said with a sigh, “The situation is that your grandpa in the necklace is exhausted from using his soul essence to use that attack. It’s unknown how long it will take him to recover naturally, but there’s a way for him to recover before that.”
Huang Xie’s eyes lit up the moment that he heard this, but then he slightly knitted his brows again.
After all, the way that Lin Fan said this made it seem like there was something hard with this decision.
So he asked, “What is it?”
Lin Fan just took a deep breath before raising his hand and pulling a bottle from his system’s storage. After pulling this bottle out, he said, “We use this Soul Revitalizing Potion to help him recover.”
