The Adventures Of The Young Master

Chapter 812 Old Store

The old man served the tea and said, "Please have a taste. It's the best tea leaves I have currently. Even Sword Emperor Tianli is tempted by this tea and want to buy a gram of it."

Sword Emperor Tianli was a brilliant emperor of the past. He glorified Sword Platform and fought back the invaders who wanted to devour their land.

Jin Rou took a sip of the tea and nodded, "Good tea."

It was, by far, the most delicious tea he had tasted. The taste and aroma of the tea very much complemented each other. Not to mention, the transparent color of it was soothing. It's no wonder even sword emperors wanted to have a hands on this. Unfortunately, it was limited and couldn't be bought no matter how rich the customer was.

Take Sword Emperor Tianli for example. In the past, he tried to buy leaves using heavenly swords as bargaining chip. Remember, heavenly swords in this land was the highest quality of a sword. Only sword emperors had the ability to create one. Too bad though, the old man didn't even look at the sword and refused. The tea was too precious that even a heavenly sword couldn't buy it.

"How about I buy ten grams of this instead?" Jin Rou jokingly said.

"Your Majesty must be jesting. How can mere tea leaves catch your attention? For sure, you have way better tea leaves in your treasure vaults." The old man shook his head. He knew the tantamount treasuries of Han Li. How could it not have some heaven defying tea leaves?

Jin Rou chuckled. Perhaps that's true. If Jin Rou wasn't wrong, there were really tons of precious tea leaves in all treasure vaults of Han Li. Since he was also a tea lover, he collected various kinds of tea leaves. Maybe not even the worth of this current tea leaves would be able to match up against those in Han Li's vaults.

There's a long silence between them. At their level, silence like this was natural. After all, they had already talked about everything and there's almost nothing to talk to aside from the current events.

"Dying without anyone knowing, that must be a great relief." Jin Rou broke the ice after a long time. His tea had already became cold and it's no longer suitable for his taste.

"Yes. Dying like that will not bring any burden to anyone you're connected with. That is my choice, and I'm sure yours is different, Your Majesty." The old man agreed. They were already too strong that death wasn't scary anymore, "Your choice is to push the existence to his death while I'm just waiting to die."

"Everyone is entitled to have their own choices in life. It's normal that not everyone will seek the path you chose." Jin Rou said, "But it must be lonely being here, stuck. You don't know when the visitors will pay you a visit."

The store changes its location every five seconds. Thus, it's too difficult to pinpoint and go. Even sword emperors had to pay a price to get here.

"I'm accustomed to loneliness, Your Majesty. All my life, I'm always alone. I don't need anyone to be my company." The old man said. He had grown old and gotten used to it.

"Sometimes, loneliness is a bliss too." Jin Rou laughed softly, "By the way, I'm here because I want to ask you something."

"Ask away, Your Majesty. If it's you, I'll try my best to give a satisfactory answer." The old man smiled.

"I'm just wondering if he ever paid you a visit here?" Jin Rou asked. For sure, the old man already knew who the 'he' Jin Rou was talking about.

The old man turned serious and nodded, "Yes. He paid me a visit approximately 500,000 years ago. He talked to me like I'm his old friend."

"That's recent." Jin Rou creased his brows. It just meant that the man might still be here in Thousand Realms.

"He's too audacious. Trying to show off that he can walk now under the sun?" Jin Rou smirked. Han Li had a matter to deal with the man, so Jin Rou was trying his best to have some information about him.

"It has been so many years. With his intelligence, it's already given that he can find a method to walk under this bright light." The old man sighed, "I just didn't expect him to do it this early."

For them, 500,000 years was a short amount of time. That's why Jin Rou refered to it as 'recently'.

"He's getting impatient. He knows that I'm alive so he's worrying about his life." Jin Rou chuckled, "But since there's a chance that he's still here in Thousand Relam, I'm going to take my time to hunt him."

"Your Majesty, you must be aware that he has gotten stronger. Even I am not sure of defeating him unless I go all out." The old man said. It was a high estimation. After all, the old man was a strong existence that even sovereigns and emperors were respective to.

"I'm aware. But if he's thinking he can play with me, he better just run and hide." Jin Rou smiled and stood up, "Old man, I'm not going to take your precious time now. I'm leaving."

"Where are you going to, Your Majesty?" The old man asked in curiosity.

"I heard that Firm Sword Festival is ongoing. I want to relax a bit and see it myself." Jin Rou stretched his arms.

In Sword Platform, festivals were highly regarded by people. It was a sign of commemoration and remembrance towards the sages and emperors who protected the platform.

"Does the kid know you're here?" The old man asked.

Jin Rou smiled wryly and shook his head, "No, and if it's possible, I don't want to cross paths with the kid."

"The kid has been looking for you for so many ages. If you attend the Firm Sword Festival, it had a high chance of you being detected." The old man said.

"Let it be up to fate." Jin Rou shook his head, "Old man, take care. If I need your assistance during this challenge, I might drag you out of your store."
