Lin Fan suddenly asked, "Can you tell me more about this?"
The young man was caught off guard when he heard this, but he could hear a sincere tone in Lin Fan's voice. It was as if he really was curious about what had happened.
At the same time, he didn't know why he felt, but he felt like there was a sense of hope coming from Lin Fan. It was as if he told Lin Fan what happened, there was a chance that he would be able to help him solve this problem.
So in the end, the young man told him the story.
It was a story of a young pair of lovers who ended in tragedy.
This young man's name was Tu Hong, he was the young master of the Brown Stripe White Tiger Tribe and the son of the current head, Tu Lei.
When he was younger, he fell in love with a female tiger who wasn't a part of the White Tiger Tribe. This was a demon beast that he had met when he had been out training.
He had wanted to marry her and bring her to the Brown Stripe White Tiger Tribe, but his father and all of the elders of the Brown Stripe White Tiger Tribe had opposed this.
When this was said, the tribe head beside him revealed a look of disappointment and resentment. It was clear that the tribe head was still holding this matter to heart and hadn't resolved it with his son.
So, Tu Hong and that female tiger had gone against the wishes of the Brown Stripe White Tiger Tribe and had run off on their own. The two of them had eloped without a single care.
When this was said, the elders couldn't help remembering something from a long time ago.
Since they were the elders of the White Tiger Race, this matter had also been reported to them. At that time, they had sent members of the White Tiger Race after the couple because Tu Hong was an important junior to them.
Not only did he know secrets of the White Tiger Race as the young master of the Brown Stripe White Tiger Tribe, he was also a seed that they could have trained for the future. So there was no way that they would allow him to escape on his own like this.
They had worked with the Brown Stripe White Tiger Tribe to bring him back.
As this thought passed through the minds of the elders, they couldn't help feeling more and more anxious.
After all, there had to be a reason why Lin Fan had asked about Tu Hong's story…
If their true descendant was related to Tu Hong's story and they were one of the causes for his tragedy…wouldn't that mean that they had shot themselves in the foot by doing what they had done in the past?
There was no pill for regret, but they without a doubt regret what they had done.
The story continued where the two of them were able to get away from the White Tiger Race's homeworld.
Once they were away, they found a small planet to hide on and were content living a peaceful life with the two of them alone.
Since this was a small planet that was on the same level of the Blue Star Planet, they were able to reign at the top of the food chain with Tu Hong's cultivation level. All of the inhabitants of this small planet left them alone since they knew that it was impossible for them to beat them.
But there were those with ambition on that planet.
It was impossible for them to defeat Tu Hong, but that didn't mean that others couldn't.
The inhabitants of this minor realm contacted those of a higher realm, asking for help in defeating Tu Hong.
They were able to find some helpers in the end, but Tu Hong was just too strong for them.
The problem was that they recognized Tu Hong as a member of the White Tiger Race. The moment that information about a member of the White Tiger Race was spread, the attention of countless people was attracted.
They didn't know why there was a member of the White Tiger Race here, but not a single person was willing to let them go.
Whether it was a member of the White Tiger Race in training or whether it was an exiled member of the White Tiger Race, people's greed was provoked. Someone of the White Tiger Race was very valuable whether they were alive or dead.
If he was alive, then he could be sold as a pet to one of the human realms. They would pay top dollar for a living member of the White Tiger Race like this.
If he was dead, then his body was a trove of treasures. Every single part of the corpse of a White Tiger could be used for different things.
So everyone was determined to catch Tu Hong.
Tu Hong also recognized the danger of this and planned on escaping, but it was too bad that there was an ambush that had been laid out for him.
He did his best, but there were just too many people that were participating in this fight. So in the end, Tu Hong was overwhelmed and had no choice but to run.
During this, Tu Hong was split up from his wife and he was completely lost.
He was only able to survive by falling into a tear in space and being transported to somewhere random.
When Tu Hong came to, he found that he was lying in a pool of his own blood and was covered in injuries.
It took him several months before he was able to recover, but the first thing that he did after recovering was make his way back to the minor realm that he had hid on with his wife.
It also took him a month to get there since he had been thrown quite far away by the tear in space.
When he arrived, he disguised himself and tried to find his wife.
He took revenge on a few people who had called those from the upper realm, but he wasn't able to find his wife in the end.
So he came to the painful decision to come back to the White Tiger Race.
He knew that it was only with the White Tiger Race's resources that he would be able to find his wife one day. However, it was harder than it seemed to get access to these resources.
After all, everyone in the White Tiger Race had looked down on his wife.
It was only when he became the young master of the Brown Stripe White Tiger Tribe that he was able to start searching for his wife. But even now, he wasn't able to find a single thing.
There were a few things in his story that he shouldn't have said out loud, but for some reason, he felt a bit of hope coming from Lin Fan that made him say more than he was supposed to in the end.
After he was done, he looked at Tu Lei who looked back at him.
After a moment of silence, Tu Lei said in a low voice, "I never thought that you would still be hung up over here. It seems like I really do need to teach you a lesson still."
When the elders heard this, they immediately felt a chill run down their spine.
They didn't know if this story was really related to the true descendant or not, but the fact that Lin Fan was interested in it was more than enough for them. Even now, they could see that he was lost in deep thought after hearing this story.
It seemed like it had invoked some kind of idea inside of him.
So for the sake of the true descendant, there was no need for them to hesitate.
As soon as Tu Lei's voice fell, before Tu Hong could even say anything, the Great Elder raised a hand. After he raised this hand, there was a powerful pressure that fell onto Tu Lei, pushing his face into the table.
When they felt this, both Tu Hong and Tu Lei couldn't help revealing shocked and confused looks as they couldn't understand why the Great Elder did this. After all, back then, the elders had all supported Tu Lei in separating Tu Hong and his wife.
Why would they suddenly do something like this?
What hit the nail on the head was that the Great Elder then said in a threatening voice, "Shut your mouth, or I'll shut it for you."
As soon as Tu Lei heard this, he felt a strong chill run down his spine.
He could tell that the Great Elder was serious and he knew that this was a dangerous situation for him.
But Tu Lei just couldn't back down since he felt like he had to say something. So he opened his mouth and said, "I…"
Before he could say anything else, it felt like something had grabbed his mouth and had shut it.
He could only mumble a few times, but he wasn't able to say a single thing.
Tu Hong looked at the Great Elder with a confused and surprised look again and what met him was the smiling face of the Great Elder and the elders. When he saw this, he couldn't help becoming even more confused.
Just what was this situation where the Great Elders and elders were standing up for him?
No, he knew that it had something to do with Lin Fan who was sitting there lost in thought…
Could it be that…?
