The Adventures Of The Young Master

Jin Rou returned to the inn and spent his time cultivating. Although Han Li's body was already so strong, he needed to maintain it and regulate his meridians well. Furthermore, his dao heart needed further harness and sharpness. He was going to face a very powerful entity, after all. He couldn't let his heart be tempted by universal things.

It was a new day, and Jin Rou was supposed to do cultivation again. He had no plans for this day thus he planned to stay here. However, an unexpected visitor decided to pay him a visit.

"I didn't expect that the Goddess Chinu of Firm Sword will be visiting me without notice." Jin Rou smiled. An attendant served them tea. The lobby wasn't packed with people and the princess was in a disguise. So, no one except Jin Rou actually recognized her.

"I apologize for the sudden appearance, Young Master." The goddess knew how to say proper honorifics.

"Smart." Jin Rou liked how he was addressed and said, "Speak. What brings you here?"

In all sense, Princess Chinu shouldn't have been here. Jin Rou spoke without basis yesterday and it shouldn't have an effect to her and the lineage. However, her ancestors felt there's more to it and wanted to confirm whether he was speaking the truth or not. Likewise, she felt the same.

Her sudden visit should be received grandly and anyone would be happy to be visited by the princess. However, Jin Rou wasn't showing it. If there's an expression that could be observed in him, it's indifference.

"I just want to confirm if your words yesterday are true." Princess Chinu decided to go straight to the point. It's useless beating around the bush as it would just waste both of their times.

"I'm just a nobody. How could you believe what I say?" Jin Rou chuckled. The people didn't believe him, but the princess spent time to visit him and confirm his words, it was inconceivable in a sense.

"I don't think so, Young Master." Princess Chinu shook her head, "Definitely, you have basis for saying that. We don't know what kind of dangers lie ahead if we explore it, thus we want to gather information, be it with a high or low possibility of happening."

"It seems your ancestors aren't also confident in entering the falls." Jin Rou smirked.

"The Blissful Falls is a mysterious place that not even us has explored fully. Not to mention the inside, we haven't explored the entire depths of the falls itself." Princess Chinu smiled wryly.

In the past, the Firm Sword expended large amounts of resources to dig and test the depths of the falls. However, they had not expected that the depth was endless. Despite the 10 miles of rod they used, it wasn't still enough to discover the deep part. Moreover, the rod disintegrated after passing the 10 miles mark. Because of this, the Firm Sword decided to dispatch two ancestors of their lineage towards to explore it.

Unfortunately, the ancestors weren't able to return. Starting there, the Firm Sword didn't bother exploring more about it and just let it be. They also posted warnings about the falls so that people wouldn't mistake a deed of jumping on it.

"So you want to focus your resources in exploration of what behind the mysterious door." Jin Rou said, "Compared to the water, land is easier to explore as many instruments were made for this."

"That's right. However, our ancestors didn't want to create the same mistake again. Thus, I'm here to confirm and perhaps get some information from you, Young Master." Princess Chinu said. She was acting like a dignified princess just now.

"What's in it for me, then?" Of course, Jin Rou wouldn't share information unless there's something for him. There was no free lunch in this world and Firm Sword knew it very well.

Princess Chinu expected this question and laid a pearl on the table, "This is one of our greatest treasures, Sword Rising Pearl. It is definitely top notch and legitimate. With your knowledge, you should know what's the use of this."

Jin Rou looked at the pearl and chuckled, "Firm Sword is very serious in taking necessary information."

Sword Rising Pearl was a treasure used to create a sword dao law. It was necessary for cultivators who wanted to reach the apex and become sword emperors. The problem was, it's difficult to get and it's very limited. Firm Sword only had three pearls despite their long history.

Princess Chinu was about to say something when Jin Rou spoke again, "But, this isn't enough."

The princess was stupefied. This pearl wasn't enough yet? Wasn't this man too greedy if that's the case?

"Little girl, I don't want to show arrogance when you're so sincere. But Sword Rising Pearls are just normal pebbles in my eyes." Jin Rou shook his head. His treasuries had a set of them, far glorious than this one. How could he be tempted by this?

"Then please state your terms." Princess Chinu took a deep breath. She had to get the information no matter what. Her ancestors couldn't be wrong about this.

"Hmm, simple. I'm not planning in drying your Firm Sword. But I want to have the coffin your forefather had hidden way from the world." Jin Rou was all smiles.

"That's impossible!" The princess was terrified when she heard what he wanted. In the first place, how the hell did know that coffin's existence? That's a taboo that even their lineage didn't talk about!

"Don't be hasty to say no, yet." Jin Rou said, "You aren't getting just information. I'm also going to participate in the exploration to make sure you all stay alive. This is the best deal you can get from me."

"The ancestors just want the information." Princess Chinu demanded.

"And you think you can explore the behind on your own? Even sword emperors will be killed inside and you want to explore it with just the information?" Jin Rou smiled, "Think about it. The behind of the falls is too dangerous even for the top lineages of this world, you aren't the same. You will be sacrificing your lives by going there without my protection."

The princess observed Jin Rou. Every word of his carried confidence and arrogance at the same time. It felt like even the sky fell down, he was there to throw the sky back to where it should be.
