The Adventures Of The Young Master

"What did you say?" Elder Sihun was already in a foul mood and this man was still spouting nonsense, "Gentleman, we have enough of your shenanigans. Please be well."

"Go on, then. It will not be my fault once you all suffered destruction later on." Jin Rou said. He was already doing them a favor by staying here, and all they needed was to see that there's an opportunity right in front of them.

Jin Rou was already spoonfeeding them by this case. It was too stupid of them if they couldn't sense it.

Elder Sihun was already blinded by rage and he felt sapping the other party thus he wanted to go now, "Let's return to the sect, Xiaolei."

But Xiaolei was planted the ground, looking at Jin Rou. He was using all his observational power and everytime, his expression was changing. Finally, he looked at the elder and said, "Elder Sihun, we need to take that man to the sect."

Hearing this, Elder Sihun thought that he heard it wrong, "Come again?"

Xiaolei wanted the young man to come with them to the sect?

"It will be beneficial for the sect if that man is present." Xiaolei bit his lip, "I don't know and I can't explain it well, but it's my guts and observations telling me that."

"Smart." Jin Rou praised, "At least, the disciple has eyes more than the elder."

"Are you getting out of your mind because of the bullying?" Elder Sihun felt his vision turning upside down, "That man attacked us for no reaso and you want to take him in the sect? Are you being lunatic, Xiaolei?"

It was understandable that Elder Sihun wouldn't believe Xiaolei. After all, the young man provoked them over and over despite no grievances between them.

"It's not like that." Xiaolei said, "Just trust me this once, Elder. If in the end I'm wrong, I'm willing to go under Mountain Pressure Therapy."

Elder Sihun was flabbergasted. Xiaolei was willing to go that far to take this man to the sect? One needed to know that Mountain Pressure Therapy was like a punishment for those who broke the code. It was a hell torturous punishment and many turned crazy after going out of it.

Seeing the determined attitude of his, Elder Sihun sighed and said, "If he's willing, he can go with us. But with how he looks about our sect, I doubt that he will. Anyway, you can try."

Xiaolei nodded and looked at Jin Rou, "Brother, are you willing to come with us?"

"Oh? I don't mind. But there should be something in it for me." Jin Rou smiled.

Elder Sihun wanted to say something but he was stopped by Xiaolei, "Brother, everything is negotiable."

"I like people who are easy to talk to." Jin Rou smirked, "Very well, how about 10,000 Era Emperor Stones per day that I'm staying in your sect? With your resources, it's enough to pay me, right?"

"Brother, I would like to agree to your words, but I don't think I have enough authority to give you that kind amount of stones." Xiaolei shook his head. Even he only received a thousand of imperial stones per season, how could he give a ten thousand of it?

Furthermore, the request was too ridiculous. Ten thousand Era Emperor Stones per day as payment? Where the hell would they acquire such amount? Remember, resources were everything for the current situation of the sect.

"You cannot decide, but that elder can." Jin Rou looked at Elder Sihun who was already fuming in rage.

"Do you think Era Emperor Stones are chicken eggs?" Elder Sihun answered, "Even a thousand, you won't get anything from us. If you want to come, sure. But if you don't, you're not going to change anything. So why would we pay you?"

"How idiotic. That's why you failed as a descendant." Jin Rou shook his head in disappointment, "Too bad, then. I guess I'm going to walk away."

Jin Rou was about to leave on his own when Xiaolei said, "Wait, Brother."

Jin Rou smiled and turned around, "Yes?"

Xiaolei took out a small statue. It was girl sitting on a fence alone, "This is my family's heirloom and passed down to heirs in many generations now. It's said that it's the most sacred treasure of our branch Firegate. If you come with us, this treasure will be yours."

Elder Sihun couldn't believe that Xiaolei would actually use their heirloom as the bargaining chip for the young man's stay! Weren't they looked so desperate?

But Xiaolei could feel this would be worth it as long as he could put Jin Rou into a small debt. The family heirloom served as memento with no use, anyway.

Jin Rou observed the small statue and smiled, "Since I am moved by your sincerity, let's go to Firegate then."

Jin Rou accepted the statue with a genuine smile. This treasure was very beneficial to him and Sylvianna. Who would have thought that it's in the possession of Xiaolei's branch?

Xiaolei heaved a relief and led Jin Rou towards their expensive courtyard which was available to only him. Being the heir of their branch, he was treated good in the sect.

"Your elder is stupid, just like the people in the outside." Jin Rou said, "An opportunity presented itself yet he didn't notice it. That's being too stupid."

Xiaolei wryly smiled at the insulting words. Nevertheless, he agreed a bit with Jin Rou, "Brother, I hope you can help us solve this situation."

"How are you sure that I'm able to solve your predicament?" Jin Rou asked, "I'm just a nobody, a mere speck of dust in the grand scheme of things."

"If you are a mere speck of dust, then we are nothingness." Xiaolei smiled, "I can tell that you are capable. I may not know to which extent, but I can sense your power is not to be underestimated."

He didn't know the exact reason, but he could feel it.

Jin Rou smiled when he heard this, truly deserving of his talent in cultivation.
