Xiao Bai peeked his head out to look at Tu Hong.

He didn't really understand what Tu Hong was saying, but seeing the look on his face, he couldn't help feeling sad.

He didn't know why he felt sad, but he just didn't want Tu Hong to look this way.

So Xiao Bai slowly came out from behind Lin Fan's leg and walked over to Tu Hong in front of him. He slowly reached his hand out before patting Tu Hong's arm and saying, "Don't feel sad, Xiao Bai will make it better."

Tu Hong looked at Xiao Bai and said again, "Xiao Bai, can you give me the right to love you?"

Xiao Bai looked back at Tu Hong, not knowing what to say. But there was something inside of him that was telling him to do something…

So Xiao Bai gave a nod in the end.

When Tu Hong saw this, his heart suddenly filled with joy and he couldn't control himself as he charged forward to take Xiao Bai in his arms.

Xiao Bai wasn't able to react since he had been caught off guard, but then when he entered Tu Hong's embrace…he felt that there was something strange about it. There was a feeling that filled him that made him not want to break out of this embrace.

So Xiao Bai reached his hands out to hug Tu Hong back and then nuzzled his head in his chest.

The father and son had finally reunited in their first hug.

Everyone just watched on in silence as the two of them hugged each other like that.

Finally after a long while, the two of them separated from each other and Tu Hong looked down at Xiao Bai to say, "I won't leave you again."

Lin Fan revealed a bitter smile when he heard this because he knew that Tu Hong would have to leave him again when he went to the Black Tortoise Race. Still, he felt that it was better not to say anything at this moment.

Xiao Bai patted Tu Hong on the shoulder, "I'm glad you're feeling better, uncle."

Then without even waiting for Tu Hong to say anything, he turned back to walk in front of Lin Fan. He raised his arms out as if he was asking to be picked up and Lin Fan picked him up in the end.

Tu Hong revealed a bitter smile, but he knew that this didn't matter.

While he said that he would never leave him, he knew that it was impossible for him to have a proper father and son relationship with him. He knew that Xiao Bai was someone who was destined to go with Lin Fan and fulfill the prophecy of their White Tiger Race.

So he never planned on keeping Xiao Bai by his side in the first place.

When he said that he would never leave him, he meant that as more figurative as he would never stop loving him.

Tu Hong also went over to Lin Fan's side and watched over Xiao Bai without saying a word.

Lin Fan felt awkward having a handsome young man like Tu Hong by his side, staring at him…well, Xiao Bai in his arms like this, so he didn't waste any more time here and decided to head back to the elders hall.

After all, there was still something that he wanted from the elders.

When he turned to leave, the elders completely ignored Tu Lei who had been forgotten and just left the Brown Stripe White Tiger Tribe.

Tu Hong took a step forward as if he was about to follow them, but he stopped himself in the end since he knew that there was still something else for him to do here. He knew that his father would want to do things to Xiao Bai, so he had to take care of matters in the Brown Stripe White Tiger Tribe first.

Only then would he be able to protect his son.

A reunion between a father and son sparked another fight between another pair of father and son.

But this fight wouldn't last as long as one would expect.

That was because as they were heading back to the elder hall, Lin Fan casually said to the Great Elder, "I think that it's time for the Brown Stripe White Tiger Tribe head to pass on his title. Don't you think the same?"

The Great Elder was surprised that Lin Fan would give this suggestion, but he quickly gave a nod in response.

When they had been with Tu Lei earlier, they hadn't missed the look in his eyes as he stared at Xiao Bai.

They could already guess what Tu Lei was planning to do and they wouldn't let anyone touch a single hair on Xiao Bai's head while they were around.

So they already had come up with plans to take care of Tu Lei.

The only problem was that Tu Lei was technically Xiao Bai's grandfather even if they didn't have a harmonious relationship. If they were to take care of Tu Lei on their own without telling Lin Fan or Xiao Bai anything, there was the risk of hurting their relationship in the end.

So they had been hesitating on whether to take care of Tu Lei or not.

But since Lin Fan had brought up this issue first, there was nothing left for them to worry about. 

After all, this was tacit agreement from Lin Fan to take care of Tu Lei.

As for who the next tribe head would be, naturally the best choice was Tu Hong who was the son of Tu Lei, the young master of the Brown Stripe White Tiger Tribe, and the father of Xiao Bai.

Tu Hong who was already planning on taking care of his father didn't even know that there was a powerful ally that had been prepared for him.

Seeing this nod, Lin Fan just calmly said, "I'll leave it to you."

The Great Elder gave another nod in response.

When they arrived back at the elder hall, the first thing that happened was that a wave of spiritual senses hit Lin Fan. Though the target that they were aiming at was Xiao Bai in Lin Fan's arms and not Lin Fan himself.

Xiao Bai once again panicked when he felt all these spiritual senses falling onto him, but Lin Fan patted his back to calm him down again. Only after patting him a few times did Xiao Bai settle and let the spiritual senses sweep over him.

The expressions of the elders who had remained in the hall quickly changed as their spiritual senses swept over Xiao Bai.

This was the same sequence of expressions that the elders who had gone to the Brown Stripe White Tiger Tribe had when they first saw Xiao Bai as well.

Once they were done, all of the elders and the other Great Elder looked at Lin Fan with bitter smiles. There was a hint of blame in these smiles, but that was just it, just a hint of blame.

They could understand why Lin Fan had done what he had done, especially since they knew what happened at the Brown Stripe White Tiger Tribe.

The moment that everything had been revealed, the Great Elder had already sent one of the elite guards back so that they could tell the rest of the elders. So the elders all knew about Xiao Bai's past…

Because of this, there were a few elders who had apprehensive looks.

That was because they were the ones who had gone along with the Brown Stripe White Tiger Tribe in tracking down Tu Hong in the past.

It could be said that they were the ones that were responsible for most of what happened to Xiao Bai's family.

After all, if it wasn't for the intervention of the elders, Tu Lei never would have been able to push Tu Hong that far with just the power of the Brown Stripe White Tiger Tribe.

It was only when the full might of the White Tiger Race was brought in that the situation had developed this way.

So they were afraid that it would be impossible for them to reconcile with the true descendant.

But to all of their surprise, Lin Fan didn't bring up this matter at all.

Instead, he asked, "Do you know where the White Tiger Stone is?"

All of them had been expecting Lin Fan or at least Xiao Bai to question them about the matters of the Brown Stripe White Tiger Tribe, but he didn't seem interested in it at all.

Still, the elders couldn't just let it go.

They were afraid that if they left it and let it sit, it would come back to bite them in the butt.

So the Great Elder asked, "About the Brown Stripe White Tiger Tribe…"

Before he could finish, Lin Fan suddenly raised his hand to cut him off before saying, "I've already discussed this matter with the other Great Elder. There's no need to mention this matter anymore."

The Great Elder turned to look at the Great Elder who had gone with Lin Fan and he gave a nod in response to confirm what Lin Fan said.

So while the Great Elder didn't know what arrangement they had reached, he still felt a bit of relief from this.

Since that was what Lin Fan wanted, they wouldn't mention this matter anymore.

They would get the information that they wanted from the Great Elder later.

With this settled, the Great Elders quickly arranged for someone to bring the White Tiger Stone over.
