The Adventures Of The Young Master

The territory of Shinebreak Clan was located in the mountain range of the current river. It was a big mountain and all but the resources here were almost depleted. It's natural, though, since it had been used since ages by the clan. Despite its producing process, the resources couldn't keep up with the demand resulting to the further declination of the clan.

If not for the mountains here being theirs, they had nowhere to go and the foundation of their clan would be shakeable.

Shinol was leading the way towards the clan. He only needed help for his cultivation but it turned out this way. He was feeling nervous but he wasn't feeling afraid. He couldn't feel any negative feelings from Jin Rou, after all. That at least put his mind at a bit ease.

"We're here." After a few minutes of walking, they arrived at the door of the Shinebreak clan.

It had a small plaque with a word 'Shine' on it. The place was rundown as if it would be destroyed by one blow of the wind. Furthermore, there were no almost people despite its big space.

"Young Master, you're back." The head butler of the clan greeted Shinol. He looked at Jin Rou and said, "And who's this friend you brought?"

Jin Rou gave a glance at the old man. He then chuckled. Now it made sense why even after so much declination, the clan was still alive and here. Although they were few, they were still maintaining the bloodline.

"This is my teacher. He will be teaching me about the dao." Shinol carefully chosed his words, "He will not stay here for long, so please serve him well. I will first be going to meet the matriarch for a pressing issue."

"Matriarch? You are aware that she is currently in a critical situation, right?" The head butler said.

"I know. But this is an urgent matter." Shinol said. In the family, he had the highest authority next to the matriarch. So, he could say this without hesitation.

"Then please be careful, Young Master. I will be entertaining this little friend of yours while you're away." The head butler said.

Shinol nodded and looked at Jin Rou awaiting confirmation. After receiving it by a nod, he left for the matriarch's chamber.

"Let me lead you to your room, Little Friend." The head butler gestured Jin Rou.

Jin Rou didn't make it difficult for the head butler and let him lead the way.

"This room might not be up for your standards but please make do of this as this is our best room to offer." The head butler said with a wry smile. The clan had no resources to spare for the reconstruction of the buildings here as their resources were very limited.

"I don't mind." Jin Rou sat down on the bed. Although it was a rundown room, it was very clean.

"Would you mind sipping some tea while waiting?" The head butler was perfect when it came to his job.

"Hmm, I'm not in the mood for a tea but I'm in a mood to ask things from you." Jin Rou smiled. He was looking at the head butler with interest in his eyes.

"I don't think I can offer anything other than my service, Little Friend." The head butler was confused.

"A powerful master of a supreme lineage is here posing himself as a head butler. Isn't it interesting?" Jin Rou smirked.

The head butler was a bit surprised but he managed to hide it on time, "I don't know what you're talking about."

"Sevendao, you're really trying to lie on my face?" Jin Rou said. His eyes turned cold as his gaze penetrated the inner soul of the butler.

The head butler felt limp all over his body. It felt like his energy was sapped out of nowhere. He was looking at Jin Rou with disbelief. How was that possible that a young person could do something like this?

If anyone could hear the word Sevendao here, they would immediately prostate in reverence towards the person. After all, he was quite a famous one in the Thousand Realms!

Sevendao Immortal Sovereign. He came from the mighty Black Turtle Hall, a supreme lineage of this world! His contribution to the hall was he made a revised version of the famous Dao Laws Efficiency. It was a method to comprehend the mysteries of the world in an easier manner. Because of him, many geniuses from all over the world benefitted greatly from this.

To top it all, he was a very strong sovereign that had participated in slaying an evil epoch sovereign in the distant past! Just think about it, his strength must be overwhelming to achieve this.

"Who are you?" Sevendao knew that his disguise was perfect. Even his fellows wouldn't be able to realize it's him. However, his cover was still blown up just like that?

"It doesn't matter who am I. What matters is whether you can leave this room alive or not." Jin Rou laughed, "So you better be careful in answering me."

Sevendao took a deep breath, "What do you want to know?"

"Why are you here?" Jin Rou didn't beat around the bush, "With the clan's state, I don't think there is something that can benefit you here. Well, unless you are thinking that the famous treasure they have is still in their possession."

"No, I never wanted the item." Sevendao shook his head, "I'm just paying my debt to my old friend."

"Cystalshine Immortal Sovereign." Jin Rou uttered.

"Right you are, Little Friend." Sevendao smiled, "It looks like I can't hide anything from you."

Crystalshine was a sovereign of Shinebreak Clan. She was said to be the most brilliant of all in the clan and they had great expectations for her. Unfortunately, she died during the raid against the epoch sovereign.

"No one in this world can hide something from me. Even your progenitors aren't an exception." Jin Rou said.

"That's true." Sevendao didn't refute even his progenitor was included.

"You're certainly smart. No wonder you can kill that epoch monarch with the other guys." Jin Rou said as he laid his back.
