The Adventures Of The Young Master

"That's an exaggeration, Little Friend. I merely gave a little help during the raid." Sevendao shook his head. That raid was a bloody one with many people sacrificed their lives.

"If you gave little help, then everyone there contributed just like a tiny rock." Jin Rou chuckled. Han Li personally witnessed the battle in the past. He didn't participate or whatsoever despite his power level since no one asked for his help. It's not his job to protect the Thousand Realms. After all, he's not from here.

Sevendao wryly smiled. This topic was too much to take thus he changed the topic, "So please don't suspect me of doing something that might be detrimental to the clan. I'm just really here to pay the favor."

"With you being the head butler, it seems you have stayed here for long now. Don't you think you already have done your part?" Jin Rou asked.

The Shinebreak Clan had a very few member, lesser than eight. Even with just these members, the resources were still limited and couldn't cover everyone. Thus, it should be easy to destroy them.

However, it didn't happen up to this day. Although the clan declined, they still had a rumored valuable item that could tempt cultivators. And yet, no one attempted to get it? Who would be afraid of such a downslope clan? Even normal sects could destroy them. After all, they had no back or whatsoever.

Of course no one would be afraid of them. They're just afraid of the head butler managing the affairs of the clan. Even supreme lineages didn't dare to move, what more for those normal sects?

"I guess I'm used to this place. And I can't let it fall eventually." Sevendao said with a soft tone, "Crystalshine loved this place too much and I cannot let it fall in front of me."

"Love is really a fatal thing." Jin Rou muttered. He could relate to the sovereign's feelings.

It was obvious that Sevendao was in love with the clan's sovereign. However, he didn't outright said it. People on their level usually didn't express such emotions to other people. After all, they should have several their emotions long ago as they embarked in this path.

Then silence ensued. No one talked for several hours. Jin Rou took a light nap while waiting and Sevendao was taking care of the daily affairs of the clan. Supposedly, it should be the young master to do it since there's no clan master to speak of and Shinol was a direct descendant here. However, the boy was still too young to handle matters. Thus, Sevendao had all these responsibilities.

"Bzz." And suddenly, the surroundings changed in Jin Rou's room. The room became isolated and it's going to be difficult to escape.

The surroundings turned into lush green forest. Although it was fake, the feeling was natural.

"It looks like you're still healthy and well, opposite of the rumors." Jin Rou said as he plucked a leaf, "You can still manage to create such a domain."

"What are you doing here?" A woman appeared out of the blue. She looked so beautiful and transcending with her white shining hair. She was like a moon in the dark night that illuminated the flowers to bloom beautifully. Her eyes were menacing that it looked it could kill right now.

"Shinemoon, aren't you being too cold to me?" Jin Rou smiled wryly. The familiar scent and face was still there and despite not being Han Li himself, the emotions of the past were still there.

"It looks you're lucky that you survived the last challenge." Shinemoon snorted and said, "But you are the last person I wanted to see. So scram."

"I am the last person you wanted to see yet you still meet me?" Jin Rou smirked.

"I just want to see how pathetic you are now. It turns out you are really pathetic. To actually fail for the eighth time." Shinemoon spouted cold and vicious words against Jin Rou. It felt like there's an ongoing feud between the two.

Jin Rou shook his head, "How have you been?"

"None of your business." Shinemoon flatly answered.

Jin Rou couldn't help but sigh. Han Li made this woman become like this. If he just returned her feelings like in the past, this shouldn't be happening right now.

Shinemoon used to adore Han Li very much. She even dreamt of marrying him. Unfortunately, Han Li wasn't a bit interested in her. This made the matriarch loathed him to the core.

"I'm here because I want to give you something." Jin Rou finally directed the point. There's no use in prolonging this conversation. Then he handed over a piece of wood to her, "This is for you."

Shinemoon glanced at the wood and looked at Jin Rou, "Are you trying to make it up to me?"

"Perhaps. After all, this is my last time I can see you." Jin Rou smiled, "You have to accept this. It can help your clan revitalize."

What Jin Rou gave was not just a normal treasure. It was a wood that could turn people crazy for it. It's a heavenly treasure that people most seek of.

Shinemoon didn't say something this time. She was just looking at the wood which she clenched dearly. Indeed, this wood would be a great help for her clan's revitalization. Despite their situation, she had not lose hope to claim the glory they used to have. Although it's a bitter and tough process, it's worth all the efforts and price.

"And this." Jin Rou handed over a scroll. It was a title containing ownership of a land not far away from here.

Shinemoon was surprised to see this. This place had a large unused vein and many people would die for this. She looked at Jin Rou with suspiciousness and said, "Why are you giving me these? It's not like I can give you something in return."

The two items were too precious for her. She would have difficulty giving it back to Han Li if in case he wanted it back. After all, with that place, their clan was sure as revitalized as long as her descendants follow her commands.
