The Adventures Of The Young Master

Jin Rou didn't give a damn about the Divine Court. Who were they to tell him what to do? If they'd come, then come. He was itching for a bloodbath after recovering anyway.

After destroying the barrier, it made a big sound which alerted everyone in the forest. They immediately set off to check what's going on.

Jin Rou didn't particularly care if others come over right now. He was focusing on how to get the flower here in the deepest part of the forest.

This part wasn't dark or anything scary. In fact, it was filled with a thick presence of the dao, perfect for cultivating. It was no wonder why the court was restricting this area for their use.

Fortunately, no one from the court was here as everyone was busy attending a banquet. Even a guard wasn't situated here and only a barrier was left.

After walking for a few minutes, they reached the end of this place. And there, was a tiny flower in the middle of the layered trees.

"Fortunately, it looks like lady luck is on our side." Tiresh could determine the only flower in the middle, "That is the flower that can cure you. You must take it immediately before others come here."

Jin Rou didn't say anything and walked over to grab the flower. Afterwards, he didn't hesitate to pluck it and examined the thing, "Indeed, this is the thing."

Jin Rou could feel the extreme purity of qi this flower had inside. If consumed, it would help a cultivator break the bottleneck.

Jin Rou was about to consume the flower when he heard a desperate shout, "What are you doing?! That is the property of our Divine Court! Do you know the consequences of touching our things without permission?"

Jin Rou looked at the source of the voice. It was a man, probably in his 20s. He seemed to be a disciple of the said court, that's why he was like this.

"And?" Jin Rou didn't give a damn about him and consumed the flower totally. The energy within the flower flowed within his veins. The purity of it was top notch that it could sync well with his natural pure qi. The blocked meridians by the poison were instantly unblocked one after another.

It didn't even take a minute before Jin Rou could diagnose himself as totally cured.

He could feel his strength coming to him now. That troublesome poison was finally removed in his system.

"You..." The man was stupefied. To dare consume an item which was supposed to be theirs by an outsider. Not to mention, that flower was nurtured for thousands of years in order to reach this state, "Unforgivable!"

"I'm not asking for your forgiveness." Jin Rou shot back at the man and said, "Now, if you still want to live, scram back to where you came from and never appear in front of me."

Jin Rou was in a good mood, and wouldn't mind sparing this brainless person if he was flexible.

"The Divine Court will chase you to the ends of the world. No matter where you hide, you'll be hunted. With our power, you have no place to hide here in this continent." The man said and fled. He just wanted to leave these words and escaped.

"Tiresh." Jin Rou called out.

"Yes...?" Tiresh turned stiff. She wasn't daring enough to disrespect Jin, who slain many dark tribe members and their dark lord, and speak like they were on the same level.

"Name what you want." Jin Rou said, "This is for the help you have given me. I shall reward you fairly. So, tell me what you want."

This was how Jin Rou worked. He didn't want to owe anyone anything. He would immediately repay it the moment he was already capable of doing so.

"No, you don't have to repay me." Tiresh shook her head, "In fact, I should be the one to repay you. After all, you let me come with you to cross that sea even though I'm more of a baggage to you. Your protection during that journey was already enough for me to repay you for the rest of my life."

Tiresh Abhold was a prideful and arrogant knight. Born with a talent that basked in praises and commanded respect, it was natural to be this way. However, now she knew that her talent was useless in front of capable beings. She many times dared to challenge the Uncrossable Sea in the past, feeling confident of her capabilities. But now she realized she's nothing but a mere ant. If not for Jin Rou, she would have died already.

She was arrogant, but she knew when to be grateful.

"No, it is naturally my responsibility to take care of you since you've came with me. And I didn't ask for a payment for that." Jin Rou said calmly, "Your help has greatly helped me this much. So you deserve to be rewarded. I am not taking another no here."

Tiresh didn't know what to say. She was in a pinch as the other party wasn't allowing her to reject it again. But what would she ask for? She didn't know, in actuality.

"If you don't know what you want, I can give you something then." Jin Rou could see that she was having difficulty to decide. Thus, he grabbed an ancient book from his space inventory and handed it over to her, "This is a book which can be a great help to you if you master it. And by great help, I mean it will be in the long run."

It was a book that he had been keeping away since he had no use for it. But now that the deserving owner appeared, he decided to give it.

Tiresh was confused what Jin Rou was saying, and immediately examined the book. Since there was no title, she needed to read the contents. And upon doing so, her eyes widened in surprise.
