The Adventures Of The Young Master

Chapter 344 - Luminate's Determination

On Luminate's side. She was preparing herself to meet the ancestors of their clan. She was thinking of what to say and what to do in case of the possibilities that would happen.

Meeting the ancestors was a big deal, even for her. After all, we're talking about the top beings of their clan. Even with her position, it wasn't easy to have them meet her.

Of course, there were ways that she could exhaust for her to use. But it would just increase the probability of the ancestors accepting her request.

"What a troublesome request." Luminate couldn't help but massage her temples because of this. She was really stressed. But since it already came to this, she had to fulfill this or else she wouldn't be worthy being the princess of this clan.

"Your Highness, please think twice." However, Shain was against about this as she revealed her stance, "I don't know if it's right or wrong, but disturbing the ancestors at this moment is very dangerous."

"What do you mean?" Luminate revealed a puzzled expression.

"..." Shain looked like she was hesitating. But she steeled herself and still answered, "I heard that the ancestors are currently in their last stage of seclusion. It has been a few years since it started, so you should also have expected this, Your Highness."

Luminate was enlightened. Indeed, she hadn't met the ancestors for years now due to them entering seclusion. However, she estimated that it would be done by this time around. The question was, when is the exact time?

Jin Rou's matter was urgent, and she felt that she needed to send the message as soon as possible or else, a catastrophe would come. She couldn't wait for them to come out, she would see herself in.

"But I still need to meet them." Luminate shook her head, "Don't worry, this is my own free will. You didn't hear me accepting the request a while ago, right?"

"But..." Shain was very irreconciled. She didn't want the princess to do a favor from an unknown stranger. Luminous had also told her to do everything to stop Luminate from doing so.

"If you don't want to come with me, that's fine." Luminate smiled and said, "I can walk there alone."

They were now in a place filled with ancient and giant trees. This place was the residing residence of the ancestors. There was a big barrier separating them and this ancient forest.

It was impregnable. Unless one had a key to this place, or the owners let them in, no one even the top beings of this world had no way of entering this place.

Luminate took a deep breath and looked at the transparent barrier. It has been a while since she came here.

"Your Highness, you still have a chance to back off." Shain had already used everything she got to stop Luminate but it was useless, "Though you are a princess and a talented one at that, you aren't exempted from the punishment if you ever really disturbed them. I bet you are aware of what type of old beings our ancestors are, Your Highness."

Since Shain couldn't use force and violence against the princess, she tried to convince her by words that were quite reasonable and plausible. She had thought of this very well and her last ditch of effort as well. If it still didn't work, then she could only pray for the princess' safety.

"I'm still doing it." Luminate shook her head. She was unperturbed, and was ready to take the challenge. She didn't know why but for some reason, she felt safe and it would go well better than she expected.

Shain sighed, but she didn't say anything. It looked like she resigned everything to fate.

Luminate smiled and walked over to the barrier. She took a deep sigh and focused her attention to this task.

"Whoosh!" Then, a black key appeared out of her palm. This key could be used to enter the ancient forest. But it was a consumable item, once used, it could no longer be used and disappear into the void.

The ancestors had given her this one key and was told to only enter the place when a situation which the Templar Clan couldn't handle arised.

Well, in a sense, this was a situation the princess couldn't handle so she needed help from the ancestors.

"Brr." After which, the barrier revealed a gap that a person could enter. Soon, the princess entered. Shain hesitated for a moment before gritting her teeth and entering the ancient forest as well. She couldn't let her fear win over her or else, she wouldn't be a worthy knight of the princess.

"This familiar scent..." Luminate reminisced about the smell of this place. Its scent was like a garden filled with beautiful flowers. The vibe was peaceful and comforting to anyone who entered this place. If there was a peace to speak of, this place could easily enter the rankings.

For millions of years, this place didn't change with the same trees standing and whatnot. This place was the core of everything of the clan. If this place were to be destroyed, the whole foundation of the Templar Clan would fall and it'd be difficult to stand back up.

Shain was also feeling the same as the princess. This wasn't the first time she entered this place but it felt like it was.

"Alright, time to find the ancestors." Luminate dropped her imagination. She had an official business with the ancestors and that should be the focus of her, not the surroundings of this place.

Just when the princess would start walking, a voice suddenly rang their ears,

"I didn't expect that you will come see me this soon, Luminate."

Luminate was frozen. She was very familiar of this voice. She looked at the direction where the voice came from and saw an old man with a very long pink hair that swayed within the mild and soft winds. Though he appeared old, the trace of his handsomeness during his youth could still be seen on his face.
