The Adventures Of The Young Master

Chapter 810 A Question

"Don't be like that. We have a fateful connection between us for long now. Isn't it too cruel to treat me this way?" Jin Rou felt broken and said.

The ogre monk named Du Cao sneered and spoke, "Li, don't try to toy with us. We know your tricks and it won't work on us. All you can do is to kill us."

The ogre monk named Du Shao also agreed, "That's right. We are part of the prestigious clan that made the world tremble in fear in the past. You really think we will sell them out?"

The loyalty of these two were deeply engraved to their bones. Being part of the royalty of the clan, they enjoyed various wealth and benefits.

"Prestigious clan that turned coward when those people arrived?" Jin Rou smirked. This was a sensitive topic to these two ogre monks.

"As if you know what happened in the past." Du Cao snorted. It was a shameful past of their clan, but his loyalty to it didn't change, "There were certain things that cannot change even if you face it."

"That's true." Jin Rou nodded, "However, your forefather's mysteries lied within those people who arrived. Your ancestors didn't even try to face them and instead hid. If your forefather is here, you all might have been spanked badly."

"You're talking as if you know what happened." Du Shao glared at Jin Rou. It was a bitter pill to swallow, but it contained truth in it.

The answer towards further prosperity was carried by the foreign people. If their clan pursued it and succeeded, the clan was deemed to be the most prestigious clan in the history that Blackmauve Family would be overshadowed.

"I know what happened, that's why I can say things." Jin Rou said. Han Li had personally watched the game laid by the foreigners. They were just waiting for the clan to bite the bait. Unfortunately, they weren't successful.

The ancestors of the clan was decisive enough not to take it. After all, they weren't sure of the power level of the foreigners. Although they had the home advantage, they couldn't risk it. Not unless they had the Mirror of Karmic Samsara.

"Just kill us already, will you?" Du Shao said with annoyance. They were being toyed and it's making him uncomfortable, "Li, you better do it or if ever I find chance to escape here, your fate will not be good as you think it is."

"Hmm, even the heavens isn't daring to say those words to me." Jin Rou smiled, "I just want to ask one thing. Grant me one answer and I'll end your sufferings."

He paused for a moment and said, "Or you can spend the rest of your lives inside the mirror. You know, you will live through eternity without a chance to get out."

The two ogre monks were silenced. Surely, they didn't want to spend a useless eternity inside the mirror. Du Cao sighed and said, "Speak. What do you want to know?"

It's better to die and end this suffering rather than being sealed. They had lived for too long now, anyway. What would happen to the clan shall be up to the future's hands.

"Good choice." Jin Rou said, "Then, I just want to know. Did he pay you a visit?"

Du Cao didn't expect this question. He was expecting something that connected with their clan. He didn't expect that Han Li would be asking something different and more shocking.

It was a taboo to talk about the 'he' Han Li was talking about. However, since Du Cao already said he would answer one, he took a deep breath and said, "Yes."

"Elaborate." Jin Rou demanded.

"He paid us a visit because he wants to negotiate with the current ancestors of the clan. I don't know the details, though." Du Cao helplessly said. He really didn't know anything except that 'he' paid them a visit.

Decius creased his brows. Being part of Han Li's camp, he knew many secrets and their unveiling answers. That existence was too dangerous for the Thousand Realms. With one whim of his, the world could end.

"He's growing impatient." Jin Rou chuckled. He already had a speculation what might entice that man to negotiate with the ogre's clan, "Alright, since you answered my question truthfully, what type of deaths you two want?"

"Make it painless." The two ogre monks said. They had suffered for too long now. They didn't want any more suffering.

Jin Rou nodded. He took out a sword and beheaded the two ogre monks within less than a split second. Even Decius couldn't follow through it, "That's the good bye."

The bodies of the ogre monks slowly disintegrated. Soon, it all turned into ashes and carried by a slow wind.

"Will the ancestors of their clan pursue this matter?" Decius asked. The two ogre monks were vital members of the clan. Now that they're dead, they might seek revenge.

"No, their ancestors aren't gutful enough to face me. Not to mention, they lost the Mirror of Karmic Samsara." Jin Rou shook his head, "So rest assured. Even if they appear, the sages will fend them off."

"I see. So you finished your business here now." Decius said.

"Yes, I have no more reason to stay here." Jin Rou answered.

"Then what are you waiting for? Scram." Decius turned his back and returned to his hut, "Don't ever come back again."

Decius had already given up his immortality in exchange for the natural death method. The two had finished business and it's time for Jin Rou to leave.

"You're no longer immortal. Can your body take it?" Jin Rou asked. It was the last time they would see each other so he wanted to know.

"I have many methods to keep myself alive before my natural death." Decius coldly said, "So leave now. Don't act like a responsible master."

Jin Rou laughed and turned his back, "I'm going to pay Soul Fairy a visit."

Decius flinched when he heard this. This very familiar and warm name gave affected his core, "So?"

Jin Rou could hear the tremble in his voice, "Nothing. I just want to tell you. Take care of yourself so that you can reach your natural death."

After saying it, he eventually left without turning back. It's time to move forward.
