The Adventures Of The Young Master

"I'll be going now." Jin Rou told Lady Arisu, "My reason for being here is already accomplished. The Sword Light will compensate your hub for your losses, so don't worry."

Lady Arisu knelt this time and said, "Thank you for saving us. We owe our lives to you."

Jin Rou nodded and accepted the gesture, "Rise, your gratefulness has been delivered."

"The Lion Hub will soar under you." Jin Rou added, "As long as you can harden your dao heart, you can always do something for something."

Lady Arisu was like a rough gem. She just needed to be polished and she would shine. With her talents in business, she could even make Lion Hub in comparison with a certain powerhouse which was the top 1 in the business category.

As long as she's guided properly, Lion Hub could extend their reaches into other regions and earn more.

"Thank you for your guidance, Young Noble." Lady Arisu said. She would do everything not to disappoint Jin Rou. After all, she didn't want the latter to think that saving them was a total waste.

Jin Rou stood up and was about to leave when she talked again, "Young Noble, can you perhaps tell me where are you going?"

"To the Northern Queen Region." Jin Rou answered, "I heard that the north has quite a few tourist spots, so I guess I'll pay them a visit."

"That's perfect, then." Lady Arisu smiled and said, "We have a warp gate leading to the Northern Queen. You can use it for free."

Though the Lion Hub had a warp gate for Northern Queen Region, the expense to maintain the gate was too expensive. After all, the distance between the south and north was too far. A rough estimation would be a billion miles away from each other.

Of all the powerhouses in the south, only two superpowers had the ability to maintain such warp gate.

In truth, not even the officials of the Lion Hub could use the warp gate whenever they wanted. But, they were willing for Jin Rou to use it. It's just a matter of token of their appreciation to the other party.

"That's going to save me some trouble." Jin Rou smiled and said, "Lead me to it, then."

After talking some few topics and bid good bye, Jin Rou finally entered the warp gate. Unlike the previous one he entered, this one was much grander. The Lion Hub had truly maintained the gate well despite its extravagant need for resources.

Sylvianna popped out of nowhere and said, "I heard about Northern Queen Region in the past before I went to hibernation."

Seeing the expression of her, Jin Rou was interested and asked, "Oh? What is it?"

"There's a monster sealed deep within the worst trench of the place." Sylvianna said. The Northern Queen Region was located just beside the Sea Trench, the worst possible sea to ever existed.

Jin Rou smiled and said, "Your family has helped sealing the monster in the past, so they knew a thing about it."

That monster terrorized the entire Northern Queen Region. No one knew how to kill it. Even Epoch Saints were helpless against it as it felt like it gained an immortal body.

All the north could do was to seal it deep within down the worst sea and never make it back up.

"Do you think that monster is still alive?" She remembered that the monster even posed as a threat to their family even during their glory days.

"That monster is unkillable in many aspects." Jin Rou answered, "But it's not totally impossible. Just that one needs to pay a hefty price for killing that."

A hefty price that not even the prime years of Blackmauve could afford. Thus, they could only seal it that way.

Sylvianna contemplated something. She was in deep thought that she almost bumped into a space fluctuation. Fortunately, Jin Rou was with her or she would have been hurt bad, "Careful."

"I want to go and talk to that monster." She suddenly said out of the blue. She wanted to confirm things.

Jin Rou's lips curved into a smile and nodded, "If that's what you want, we can make time to pay it a visit."

With Jin Rou by her side, there was no place safer than this. Thus, she was confident in facing off the monster. Of course, she had no plans in fighting or killing it, that's out of her means anyway.

Currently, Jin Rou and Sylvianna were walking off a forest trail. They were in a part of the Bush Forest. The former was familiar of this place, so they wouldn't surely get lost.

Jin Rou led the way, walking slowly. This forest was so good in his feeling as it was very comfortable. The Bush Forest was known for people's resting place. Of course, those near could only afford to do so.

Jin Rou saw an abandoned village and decided to enter it. The huts were perfectly made and the house sets were still in good state. No one would even think that this place was already abandoned.

The village only had twelve huts. So probably, there used to live twelve families here. Jin Rou crouched and picked up some bits of the sand.

It was in golden color and soft. Jin Rou sighed and said, "Even this village didn't survive the rage of that old man."

It wasn't a simple village at all. It used to be a powerful superpower of the central that chose to hide here in this barren place. They must have thought they wouldn't be found as long as they didn't give away their auras.

Unfortunately, the old man was omnipotent and nothing could escape his eyes for the long time.

Jin Rou looked at the almost destroyed plaque. It was no longer distinguishable to read the text, but Jin Rou could assume what family lived in this village.

Sylvianna was searching for some treasures and pebbles to find when she saw something not far away from her, "Young Noble, look here."
