The Adventures Of The Young Master

"So Young Master, do you have next plans after this?" Headmaster Lanx asked after sipping a decent amount of tea. He was treasuring these leaves like his baby and seldom use it. And when he used it, he'd thoroughly enjoy it. After all, just one leaf of the tea leaves already made his heart bleed.

"Are you asking me if I still want to rob your academy more of what it can take?" Jin Rou asked, chuckling. His tone was playful.

Headmaster Lanx felt embarrassed after being seen through. However, he still answered, "Young Master, to be honest, we know you are a capable person so the other elders are a bit worried about the future outcome if you can have the treasures of the academy with such ease. After all, even we cannot do it."

"Headmaster, while I appreciate you being honest, I will still say this. The treasures here are for everyone to get as long as they have the strength to do so. And fortunately, I am blessed by the Heavens and can do such a thing. Will it be wrong to do such?" Jin Rou spoke with a smile on his face.

Not to mention, I am the owner of those treasures. Jin Rou wanted to say this but he refrained from doing so.

"This..." Headmaster Lanx didn't know what to say. Honestly, he wanted to rebuke it but knowing how confident Jin Rou was imposing as, he couldn't help but tread carefully or else he would probably make a grave mistake.

"Don't worry, Headmaster. I won't dry your academy." Jin Rou laughed after seeing the headmaster's reaction. It was quite funny and entertaining, "I know that some hidden treasures of the academy are used to maintain its foundation and source, so how could I get it? Unless I hate your academy, I won't do such a thing."

Headmaster Lanx breathed a sigh of relief. Although he was very surprised that Jin Rou also knew this, he thought that it must be given knowing the other party's capabilities.

"If that's only your concern, I can give you my word that your academy will stand tall as always." Jin Rou smiled. He had no plans in making the academy fall. After all, it had been Han Li's home in the past. Several monarchs were also thought by him here personally. And as the result? All of them were brilliant enough to go against the Heavens. Thus, many monarchs were daring enough to go for an expedition.

An expedition was like Han Li's Challenge. However, the difference was Han Li was challenging the Heavens itself while an expedition was a challenge against the deities of the Heavens.

"Actually, I have a something that I wanted to ask. However, I don't know how to put it." After some pondering, Headmaster Lanx said with all honesty.

"Ask away. If I can answer it, I will." Jin Rou said, though he already had a gist of what question the other party had.

"Then, Young Master, do you perhaps have some relation to the Primordial Emperor?" Headmaster Lanx asked with all seriousness. This was a taboo topic but due to his curiosity, he couldn't help it. After all, Jin Rou's deeds were so magical that he couldn't help but think about the Primordial Emperor.

Jin Rou knew who that Primordial Emperor was. It was none other than Han Li himself, or so the body he was currently possessing.

Han Li had many names in the world. However, Primordial Emperor was one of the most used names for him since he had lived since the time immemorial.

"Hmm, you can say it that way." Jin Rou smiled, "As to which extent, I will leave it up to your imagination."

Hearing this answer, Headmaster Lanx almost forgot to breathe. Even Teacher Fairy who was by the side was speechless. So their hunches were right all the time? Although they expected this answer, they couldn't help but reveal such expression!

"Then Young Master... is the Primordial Emperor still alive?" Headmaster Lanx mustered up all his courage to ask this. Primordial One was proclaimed as the savior of this world. Although the person itself was denying the claims, the people were adamant on pushing him as a savior.

Right now, although peace could be seen, the people in the know knew that it was only at the surface level. Remember, Han Li had disappeared completely, the person who gave the world peace. How could those old beings with malicious intentions sit still and enjoy the day while peace was overwhelming the world?

Han Li used to butcher and grant genocide to countless clans and sects in his lifetime and sometimes, weeds survived. And these weeds had been hiding well for so long now afraid that they might earn the wrath of Han Li again.

However, now that Han Li was deemed to be dead because of the Eighth Challenge's failure, many old beings were moving once again. As a matter of fact, a few were already showing themselves.

"Who knows? He might be alive, or he might have died already." Jin Rou didn't give a proper answer and instead gave a vague one.

But the Headmaster already had a clue and didn't ask further regarding this topic and changed it, "To tell you the truth, the academy is in a dire situation right now and we still don't know how to deal with it."

Jin Rou's brows creased and said, "The academy has been standing proudly for countless of years now that it's impossible for it to crumble down. What's going on?"

It was true. The Dao Sword Academy had a very deep foundation because Han Li and the other monarchs amplified and modified it by several times. It wasn't an exaggeration to say that it could withstand even retaliations of their enemy monarchs. To think that they were facing a calamity that they couldn't deal with was too far fetched.

At least, that's what should be the other's assumptions.

"Sword Saint Ancestor has calculates the Heaven's will, and found out that soon, our academy will face a threat that is almost impossible to get over with." Headmaster Lanx said with a sigh, "Since it's from the Sword Saint Ancestor, the credibility is high.. So we don't doubt it."
