The Adventures Of The Young Master

Jin Rou smiled and nodded, "We will be going out now. Our intention has been achieved here already."

The mortal old man changed expression and hurriedly said, "Visitor, if you are not in a rush, how about you come with me first?"

"Oh? Is something the matter?" Jin Rou asked. The mortal old man wouldn't say something like this unless there was an urgent matter to attend to.

"Dear Visitor, this is not the right place. So..." The mortal old man said awkwardly.

"Lead the way." Jin Rou had a bit of time to spare, so he would grant the old man his presence. Moreover, he benefited so much from the Dragon Sky. He would feel bad if he couldn't pay back even a little.

The mortal old man led Jin Rou towards a special place while Fiarra, Andreo, and Zhugo were led to a special room to wait for Jin Rou.

"What do you think the urgent matter that the old man even need the Young Noble?" Andreo was curious. The mortals here were powerful, very powerful. No one would dare antagonize them here in their place.

"A problem that only Young Noble can solve." Fiarra assumed. Since they required Jin Rou, it must be something they couldn't solve or couldn't wrap their heads around.

Zhugo was just there listening to their conversation. He was too young to understand what they're talking about.

Andreo thought Fiarra got a point. Perhaps it's a matter that would be solvable if the Young Noble was there. In any case, they had no choice but to wait for him here.

Meanwhile, Jin Rou was led to the Mayor's Office of the mortals. He already had a gist of what's their intention of requiring him here. Nevertheless, he didn't say anything.

In front of him was the current mayor of the mortals, a middle aged man with big eyeglasses. His expression was solemn and relieved at the same time.

"Thank you for accepting our invitation, Young Noble." The mayor said, "And we apologize if we're going to take some of your time. I am Mayor Fuaxen."

"Speak. What do you want?" Jin Rou didn't beat around the bush.

"Young Noble, currently, there is a crack in the void appeared in the sky of the plate." The mayor explained, "We don't know what is it and have yet to know what it implicates. But I assume it's something very ominous, something that shouldn't be in this world. Can you please help us regarding this? Of course, we will pay you."

The mortals here could only live a short span of time, so they should be using their lives to enjoy life rather than being problematic about something.

Jin Rou smiled when he heard this. As he expected, "Why me, Mayor Fuaxen? As far as I know, mortals here are very strong as long as they are within the vicinity of the plate. I don't think you will ever need my assistance knowing your levels."

He got a point. Not even top lineages could touch them, why they were threatened by a mere crack in the void? It's not like something or someone came out there already.

"Young Noble, we just want to prevent another Pandemonium Incident." Mayor Fuaxen responded with a calm tone, "Without the Dragon's Plate, we are nothing but simple mortals that can be stomped on anytime someone want."

"But the plate is with you. You are all controlling Dragon's Plate because the First Dragon entrusted this all to you." Jin Rou said. The mortals had the full authority of the plate and no one could take it from them as it was engraved to them deeply.

Mayor Fuaxen didn't know how Jin Rou know this, but he didn't confirm nor deny it. Instead, he focused on the problem and asked, "Then, will you help us or not, Young Noble?"

"If I help you, what will you give me in return?" The other party said that this wouldn't be for free, and Jin Rou wouldn't do the work for free either, "Let's see if it's something acceptable."

Mayor Fauxen took out a ring box and put it on his desk. He slid it towards Jin Rou and said, "If you checked and seal the rift, the thing inside this box will be yours."

Jin Rou inspected the content and saw a silver ring with a moon symbol on top. His expression turned serious and said, "I didn't expect that the mortals here have this item. Then, you have the scripture in pair with it?"

"We have that ring, but the scripture is not in our hands." The mayor shook his head, "You already know this ring's worth. With that, you just need to find the scripture and it will give you greater benefits."

Mayor Fuaxen paused for a moment before saying, "What do you say, Young Noble? You are not losing out in this deal, right?"

The offer was tempting. Even Jin Rou had to admit it. The only thing was the ring was useless unless the scripture was present.

Jin Rou responded, "I can accept this if you can tell me where is the scripture, Mayor Fuaxen."

"What do you mean?" The mayor was confused, "I already said that it is not in our hands, Young Noble."

It was rumored that the scripture had been lost a long time ago and no one was able to find it again. So many dropped their intentions in getting the scripture as it was already impossible in the first place.

Jin Rou chuckled, "Mayor Fuaxen, do you take me for a fool? Look at me, Mayor. Do you think I'm a fool?"

Mayor Fuaxen shuddered when he met the young man's eyes, "I don't know what you're talking about. If you cannot accept it, just say it. You don't need to go in circles, Young Noble."

The mortal old man creased his brows when he saw this. It looked like the plan was not going to the direction they had predicted. They had to do something or else, things would get worse.
