The Adventures Of The Young Master

"Jin Rou!" Zin Shi was waiting outside the guild master's room when she saw him getting out of the room. She did not know why but she just unconsciously waited there without thinking. Probably she was worried about him. After all, it was the guild master, who was fond of secluding himself in his research that sought an audience with Jin Rou.

"Zin Shi, what are you doing here?" Jin Rou smiled and asked. He already knew that Zin Shi was waiting outside. But he still feigned ignorance and asked dumbly.

"Ah... err." Zin Shi did not know what to answer, having her cheeks reddened. She shook her head and calmed down and said, "I'm just worried about you. Senior Liu was looking at you like he was going to murder you."

"Oh." Jin Rou gave this response, completely not caring about it, "Just let him be. If he knows what is good for him, he better not raise his sword against me."

"Huh?" Zin Shi was puzzled.

"Nothing. Don't mind what I said." Jin Rou chuckled and added, "Guildmaster Zhao has said that he will immediately give my badge as soon as possible, and want me to wait for a little while. He wants me to roam around the guild first and gave me a pass card."

Seeing the golden card in the hands of Jin Rou, Zin Shi was not surprised and just smiled in amazement, "That's the pass card to enter wherever you like here. Not just here, but you can also roam around the whole La Estance without being checked. That card is very important that only a handful of people had the privilege to have one."

For Zin Shi, Jin Rou getting this card was already given. After all, he contributed so much in the field of medicine. When she saw the guildmaster getting out of the room with such delight carved in his face, she already understood that the talk was successful and both reaped benefits of their desire.

"Really?" Jin Rou did not expect that this golden card was that important. He only thought that he was a card to access anywhere here inside the guild. Who would have thought that this card could let one access into any place of La Estance?

"Yes. This card is given by the upper echelons of the La Estance as a gift, and show their good grace for our guild. They only gave four of this kind." Zin Shi nodded and answered. For some reason, she felt jealousy. This man in front of her was shrouded with a mystery that was very difficult to uncover unless she had the ability to do so. She thought that if she could reach the Immortal Emperor Realm, then maybe...

"Then should I just give this to you?" Jin Rou had, of course, saw that expression flashed in her eyes and smiled gently giving vibes to Zin Shi.

"Ah?" Zin Shi was pulled back to reality and stared at Jin Rou with a blank expression for a while. After she realized that she looked awkwardly like an idiot, she averted her gaze and said, "What... what did you say again?"

Zin Shi just wanted to bury herself in the ground in shame. Why of all times would she look like that at Jin Rou with such a face? She did not know why, but when Jin Rou smiled at her like that, she felt like he was the most handsome man in the universe. There was something that she could not explain that attracted her to him. It was like Jin Rou was a magnet and she was the metal. The jealousy she felt completely faded as if she had never felt it, to begin with.

She had seen so many youngmasters who were more handsome than Jin Rou... but when she looked at Jin Rou, it seemed that they paled in comparison as if they could not even hold a candle against him. She was always confident about her feeling, however, she is now confused. Was her feeling just a fluke?

"I said, I want to give this card to you." Jin Rou did not wait for her answer and just put the card on to the hands of Zin Shi and with a smile like a bright sun, "But you have to guide me where is the best place here to go in La Estance as the payment, how about it?"

Zin Shi, for the first time, felt her heart jumped and skipped a beat for a second, entering a dream-like daze for a while.

In a restricted location in Grivexia, where rolling mountains were the scenery...

"You said that Lai Ming was killed in that backward world?!" A middle-aged man with a black long hair, wearing a red robe, shouted in anger as he punched the wooden table into smithereens, 'Who would dare to kill someone from our Ancient Ming Clan?!"

"Father... he called himself Jin Rou. An arrogant man who thought of himself as the mightiest being living. He even said that we better think twice if we are to oppose him. He even said that he will personally come here in Grivexia to settle some matters." Jyu Ming explained and added some words to light the anger of his father. His father held a high status in the clan and had a say even he spoke into the whole clan. What's more, this incident was too grave. After all, they needed that compass for their First Ming Ancestor.

"That Jin Rou has some guts there." Mao Ming clenched his fist to control his hatred, "To think he was daring enough to challenge us, the Ancient Ming Clan. How ignorant! Even the Terrace Everland Pavilion would have to think twice before waging war against us. And he, a one-man team, had the audacity? He even dared to kill Lai Ming!"

"Yes, Father. Although he was powerful than me, I doubt it that he was stronger than our senior brother. Hmph." Jyu Ming said. He was also seething in anger as he remembered the humiliation he had to bear in the place. He would never forgive Jin Rou and would love to chop him into thousand pieces!

"I will talk to the other high elders about this now and think about how to resolve this problem. This problem should be solved as soon as possible. Go, report this to your senior brother first as he requested a report as soon as possible." Mao Ming stood up and immediately went outside without waiting for his son's answer.

As Mao Ming disappeared, Jyu Ming took a deep breath and stared into the horizon with hatred, "I told you, you will regret opposing us, the Ancient Ming Clan."
