As Xu Lingxue said this, a Token appeared in her hand, and she casually handed it to Qin An.
Qin An took the Token and glanced at it, frowning slightly.
The character Xu was engraved on the Token. It gave off a faint glow and was clearly no ordinary object.
Qin An had only just arrived here. He did not know where the Token came from or what it did, but he knew it had to be something extraordinary.
"What is this?"
Though puzzled, Qin An asked anyway. Only by learning where the Token came from could he make better use of it, perhaps even bring its power into play.
Xu Lingxue had yet to speak when the city lord answered.
"This Token is a keepsake of the Xu Household. Whoever carries it can use it to survive one deadly predicament, provided the other party fears the Xu Household's influence enough not to act rashly."
"Once it has saved you, the Token will turn to ash and can never be used again. Remember that. Don't waste it. Choose your moment carefully."
The city lord spoke with grave solemnity. His words showed how highly he valued the Token—and betrayed a hint of envy.
Xu Lingxue nodded. "Since the city lord has explained it for me, I needn't say more. This Token is more than enough payment for your help."
Qin An considered this for a moment, then put the Token away and nodded. "Thank you, Miss Xu."
He would not refuse, nor did he need to. The Token's value spoke for itself. Newly arrived in this world, he truly needed something like it at his side to survive.
Besides, he had the people of the Great Qian Kingdom and those from other worlds behind him.
That made it all the more
