The Adventures Of The Young Master

"Then I will do your bidding, Young Noble." Sylvianna knew that she wouldn't get her desirable answer since she had to prove herself first. Moreover, the chances of victory didn't matter to her that much. After all, she would make sure that she'd be the victor in the end.

"We will go to Firegate by early morning, so you can rest in your space and spend your time analyzing the jade wood." Jin Rou said. The travel to Firegate was far and he needed to use transporting carriage. According to his estimation, he might need a full month or more to actually reach the place.

"Firegate, with their forefather's bloodline, how come they declined all of a sudden? The progenitor was a 12-Words Era Emperor and that's someone who could put terror into this region." Sylvianna said. She was very appalled as why such a brilliant emperor didn't produce a capable sect.

Was it because of the dao source? No, Firelord Era Emperor made sure that his descendants would have a better future. Was it because that the bloodline not compatible with the organisms? That's not possible, too. After all, the descendants came from his flesh and blood.

"Not because they have an amazing progenitor meant that they will be amazing too. It's the natural course of the world, or we can say it's a karmic pay for Firelord who was blessed with too much talent." Jin Rou explained, "Too much talent was bounded to have some sort of payment. After all, the heavens couldn't just give you extreme talent without consequences at all. And for Firegate, their sect was the payment form for Firelord's success in the past."

When one was successful, some were failures. When one was strong, some were weak. It was the concept of balance that made the world a bit fairer.

Firelord was too unstoppable during his era that even other Godlisters carefully not cross their paths with him. He was too brilliant that time that he overshadowed many shining emperors, creating pyramids of hatred and jealousy.

"I see." Sylvianna nodded. It answered most of her question and was satisfied, "Thank you for your guidance, Young Noble. I'll be returning to my space to cultivate this jade wood, first."

She couldn't waste more time as she already did. Right now, she had to know the mysteries of the jade wood.

"Go, I'll be seeing you when you have managed to successfully cultivate it." Jin Rou nodded. Sylvianna bowed and entered her space.

Jin Rou was enjoying the incoming sunrise. With a tea by his side, he felt relaxed and all. It was rare for him to have this kind of time, thus he couldn't help but want more. After the sun rised to the east, Jin Rou stood up.

It's time to do business. He released Yan and Yun, the twin whaleus, and commanded, "I cannot pinpoint the exact location of the Firegate to set it as my destination here in my warp gate, so you two have to sense the exact location of it."

The whaleus had a very sensitive and extended senses up to a hundred thousand miles. The two whales encircled Jin Rou and flew above. After a few minutes, they descended and told Jin Rou the location.

Jin Rou was impressed. No wonder these little beasts had been suppressed by those in the central, "Go back to the space. The old man will detect you if you stay here for long."

Right now, Jin Rou had no methods of hiding the twins' presence. Thus, he was making them hide to his space. He couldn't fight the old man yet, right now. He needed to prepare more for the battle or else everything would be useless.

The twins didn't dilly dally and entered his space after doing the work. Jin Rou set up the coordinates and entered his warp gate.

Firegate was located in the south of Western Emperor Region. Although they were an imperial lineage, their resources could only pay a land in the southern part.

Due to the inevitable decline of the sect, many were treating the disciples of the place like pigs. It's not an exaggeration, as many of the disciples suffered intense bullying from other people.

Just like right now, when Jin Rou arrived at the Firegate. He saw someone being punched and kicked. Judging by the disciple's attire, he was a disciple of Firegate.

"Get up, pig!" A fat guy shouted in glee, "I'm not yet satisfied so you better get up or your other brothers might suffer your consequences! Do you want that?"

The Firegate disciple slowly got up and wiped the blood on his face. Despite being kicked and punched numerous times, his eyes didn't waver.

Which made the fat guy annoyed, "You and your irritating eyes, Lee!"

The fat guy was about to deal a heavy punch when a middle-aged man appeared, "Fanfan, you are getting more arrogant as time passes by, you're even baring your fangs in the broad daylight?"

"Elder Sihun, what can you do about it? Make me afraid, oh." Fanfan smirked. He loved pushing his weight onto others and make them beg, "Your Firegate is soon to die out like a candle, do you think you can compete against our Heavenly Shadow?"

"Your Heavenly Shadow has always desired our piece of land and resources. But even after so many years, you cannot do it. Why is that so?" Elder Sihun sighed, "Your sect is too weak, that's why."

Fanfan clenched his fists. What the elder said was true, despite their efforts, they couldn't bring down Firegate at all. Firegate was an imperial lineage, that's true. But there was no living era emperor in their ranks.

"You talk too much for an old man." Fanfan sneered, "Be careful. We might have failed in the past, but it won't be the same this time."

"Shoo away. Our Firegate doesn't need your warnings. We will always stand tall even if the sky falls down." Elder Sihun gestured the bullies to scram, "Scram now or make me do it for you."
