The Geared Immortal

Chapter 991 - Farewell

Chapter 991

(Unedited)

A small celebration is being held at the newly constructed royal palace. Many of the noble houses who have decided to cooperate with the king and the new proposed reform for the capital city attended the celebration. There are also the officials and generals who participated in the war present.

The banquet is lively with many transactions, business deals, and family relations being formed. Amidst this lively atmosphere, the figure of Shin Jiao slowly walks out of a terrace. He could see the clear dark sky and the unfamiliar set of stars in the sky.

"There he is…" a voice suddenly appears from behind him as a group of people walks out of the glass door.

These people are Shin Jiao's friends and students of the Alto Magus academy.

"You are really leaving us, huh?" Ginlong Grav, the 5th prince, said with a slight frown.

The rest pouted a little while looking at Shin Jiao.

"Well, you know…" Shin Jiao shrugged.

He did not know what to say. These people have been with him for quite a little time and he has chosen them to be part of the Mystique Shop's future management. That means, as long as they improved and grow, the shop would be in their hands in the future.

"Sigh… I actually knew this day would come ever since I discovered that you came from the immortal plane. I'm just wondering, what it is like to be in that place? I mean living without the fear of dying or getting old someday… That would be a nice thing, right?" Ginlong Grav said while looking at the horizon.

The rest of the students behind him also sigh. They too wanted to experience that kind of life.

"Hmm… As I told you guys… the key is to build or gather karma. I cannot explain more as this world has its own laws… And you have your agency to decide. Your decision would surely result in whether you can gain immortality or stay in this world and be reincarnated…" Shin Jiao said with a smile.

"Anyway, I have already given Principal Edna Wise full control of your studies… In the future, you can ask her whenever you are stumped with anything…"

"Shin… I mean… Teacher Jaio… Thank you… Thank you for everything!" Ji Yaolin said as he bowed her head.

The rest followed and also give their thanks before the group began talking some random stuff.

After the group left, two figures came walking towards Shin Jiao.

He did not know what to say to the siblings, but seeing their misty eyes, he knew that they are saddened by the news of them leaving.

"Big Brother Shin, can I see you again?" Im Ao asked in his cute voice.

Shin Jiao ruffled his hair and nodded his head.

"If you can be a good boy from now on, then we can see each other again…" Shin Jiao said with a smile.

He then gave Im Jae and Im Ao a hug and carefully wipes their tears.

That night, Shin Jiao spends his time talking with the people he knew and some of his acquaintances. He did not expect that in this world his influence has become great that he is viewed highly by many people.

Well, he expected as much, but to be hailed as a savior and a hero is something he did not expect.

After chatting for a bit, it was already midnight before everyone began retiring to their homes.

That night, Shin Jiao once again visited Lemy before he would depart later that morning. The two exchanges some words and he left.

When Shin Jiao arrives in his room, he was a bit surprised when he closed the door.

This is because a pair of arms is currently hugging him from behind.

"Sigh… Yemei…" Shin Jiao said in a low tone as he could feel that the woman seem to be crying.

He slowly patted her arms as if consoling a child as he slowly turns around.

Yemei Yin hid in his embrace as she did not want him to see her crying.

"It's okay… It's okay… You have been by my side for a long time and have been my eyes and ears in everything. Thank you…" Shin Jiao said while patting her head.

Her sweet scent wafted on his nose and Shin Jiao did not expect that his mind would remember a particular woman in his life. His first girlfriend, Shi Anne Li. Shi Anne Li's memories of him have been wiped out and she has forgotten about him ever since then. He knew that it was his fault that she was in danger.

And because of that, he decided to distance himself away from her to keep her safe from that time forth.

He has been with Shi Anne Li for the longest time, and he is familiar with her scent.

And this same scent he can smell coming from Yemei Yin. Shin Jiao could not help remember his time with Shi Anne Li and the love they have for each other at that time. Even the hurtful two breakups made him feel that his experience with her was worth the memory.

"Umm… Master Jiao… Ugh… Can… can you let go of me…" Yemei Yin suddenly said in a timid and low voice.

Shin Jiao realized that he's been hugging her tightly and her face is now beat red.

"Um… I'm sorry…" Shin Jiao awkwardly scratched his head.

Yemei Yin looks at him and a strange feeling rose up in her heart. Seeing the handsome face of her master, she could help but feel attracted towards him. But she dare not show her feelings for she felt like she is unworthy of her master's love.

In a moment of muddle-headedness due to sadness, she bravely hugged him. But now that she realized what she just did, she feels a bit shy and guilty.

"Master… when you said about karma… you are talking about good karma, right?" Yemei Yin asked.

Shin Jiao smile and did not reply but just nod his head.

"Master, I promise to do everything I can to reach the immortal land. That way, I can continue serving by your side." She said with a glint of determination in her eyes.

The next day, he traveled with the people that came from Zepa City.

As the hundreds of airships began to hover high up in the air, the people in the capital watch in awe. They knew that the future of the kingdom is going to be prosperous and everything would change for the better.

Well, in fact, everything will really change. Due to the vastness of the Xinglo Kingdom, the invisible walls will be destroyed, and the outer world and the inner kingdom will be open. And then the whole land of death would experience changes as several kingdoms will be built.

Territories would be claimed, and countries would be formed. War will be fought on a different scale, and people would live a good life or suffer horribly. The environment might change for the better, but the cycle of life will continue, and the karma of the people will still be harvested by the one who modified its architecture.

And that would be for the future to happen.

For now, Shin Jiao and his group are currently traveling to Zepa City.

The other airships began to disperse and went in the direction of their own city before the group arrives in Zepa City.

"This city has truly changed…" Shin Jiao said as he looks at the huge changes in the city for the long months that he has stayed in the capital.

The group was greeted by a familiar face.

"Prince Jun Grav… I was wondering why you did not go to the capital… I guess you are here." Shin Jiao greeted after seeing the young man.

Standing beside him is the old prince, the king's cousin, Lamier Grav.

"Haha… Master Jiao… It's been a while." The two greeted.

"They are the ones who are managing Zepa city for a while now." Xiamen Gong whispered.

Shin Jiao nodded in understanding upon hearing this. It seems that the 3rd prince has already given up on the throne after living in the Outer world and in the other cities which were helped to develop by the Mystique Shop.

"Yes, it's been a while…"

"I heard that you are heading to the Outer world in Main Arjing City?" Lamier Grav asked with a hint of confusion.

"Yes… that is our destination."

"Are you leaving us, then?" he asked.

Shin Jiao nodded his head.

A hint of disappointment could be seen on the old prince's face, but he seems to wave it off as he quickly smiles.

"Master Jiao… you have greatly helped us in the Inner Kingdom. I swear that I will continue to make sure that everything in this land prospers and grow…" Lamier Grav said with a bow.

The 3rd prince also nodded his head in agreement with his uncle.

The group then boarded another ship going to the Outer World and waves goodbye.
