The Adventures Of The Young Master

Jin Rou's eyes widened a bit in this little surprise. He didn't feel her presence until she spoke. Was it some kind of heaven-defying concealment? Or perhaps she was helped by that law in the other place?

He was supposed to leave now. But judging by this situation, he might stay for a little longer.

The princess was also surprised to see this woman out here. How did she manage to reach this place? But she also concluded the same thing as Jin Rou.

But what was more of a surprise for her, was that the mysterious master of the Ice Queen was actually this old woman who called herself Xuyi. Now, things were getting interesting as fate was playing with them.

"Ziyan, what are you doing here?" The master didn't expect that she would see her disciple her in Raisla. After all, the item she was looking for was not here, "You should be talking to the universal law, yet you still have time to visit this place."

"Master... That's not the case." Xue Ziyan acted timidly as if she was a little girl, "I am here... because I want to talk to that young master."

"Oh, are you talking about Young Master Jin?" Master Xuyi's interest was piqued, "Why would you seek for the Young Master? Is there something you need from him?"

Before Xue Ziyan could answer, Jin Rou immediately intervened and said, "Of course, there is. After all, I have the Elementus she is looking for."

Jin Rou didn't beat around the bush and clearly said what should be said.

This directness was uncalled and Master Xuyi was stumped. She looked at her disciple Xue Ziyan and asked, "Is that true?"

Xue Ziyan nodded weakly. That confirmed the thing. Thus, a question was now clearly answered.

The master looked at her disciple with discerning eyes as if she was studying her. Those stare made Xue Ziyan uncomfortable and felt she wanted to bury herself to the ground.

After a few minutes, Master Xuyi asked her disciple with a flat tone, "You offended the Young Master, didn't you?"

It was like a thunder strucking Xue Ziyan as her body greatly stiffened. Just by this reaction, the master had already had her answer and couldn't help but sigh and massage her temples.

"I told you to choose those who you offend wisely, Xue Ziyan." The master looked at her disciple with a large hint of disappointment, "I told you that not just the Prime Empire you can't afford to offend. There are many masters out there that you couldn't too! With your current power, you are just one of the many small fishes in the sea. You don't know who are the sharks yet."

Xue Ziyan just listened to her master's scolding. She was in the wrong this time, indeed. She misjudged and miscalculated leading into this kind of situation. She even lost her right hand man because of this foolishness. And now, even the most important item she needed was gone by the drain.

Master Xuyi had gone for over 30 minutes of scolding before finally stopping. She looked at Jin Rou with apologetic eyes and said, "Young Master Jin, I hope you don't take her offense quite seriously. She is still just an immature cultivator who has yet to taste all the bitterness and hell of the world because I pampered her too much. I hope you don't held grudges against her."

"It's okay, Master Xuyi. I don't plan on doing something to your disciple." Jin Rou smiled, "However, if you want to try to take the rock back, I'm afraid it will be impossible. After all, I have something to use with the rock."

The master smiled meekly. Indeed, she planned on doing it. But being shot down before she could say it, she could only sigh and let it go. Then she looked at her disciple and said, "You heard the Young Master. We can't doing anything about it. Even I can't push my luck with the Young Master, so don't hope for it."

The master was telling the truth. As much as possible, she didn't want to offend someone of Jin Rou's level. After all, she would miserably lose if she asked for a fight. So although the rock was very important to her disciple, she could only swallow the frustration and let it go.

Hearing this, Xue Ziyan ran over to Jin Rou and knelt down. She wasn't willing to take this down without doing anything, "Young Master Jin, I don't mean to take the whole rock from you. All I need is a bit of it! Just a bit and it will do. Please! I beg you!"

She kowtowed and banged her forehead several times until it bled. The master was terrified and wanted to prop her up but Xue Ziyan didn't bulge and said, "Master. Let me do this. Please."

Hearing her plea, the master could no longer help and stood by the side, watching the next happenings unfolding.

Xue Ziyan kept on kowtowing on the floor without any thought of her dignity and pride. She was now looking like a slave who was wishing for pardon and freedom from her master. Her eyes were red also from unstoppable flowing tears.

Jin Rou looked at this scene. He couldn't feel any sympathy for the woman in front of him and in fact, he felt cold and wanted to kill her for some unknown reason. Perhaps it was because of the offense she did a while ago or whatever.

"I thought you need the whole rock?" Jin Rou finally spoke after so long.

Hearing his words, Xue Ziyan then immediately answered, "No, Young Master... All I need is just a tad bit of that and I can advance."

In truth, Xue Ziyan needed it whole in order to have the best effects. However, with this situation, she could only compromise of getting just a small part of the rock. It was better than nothing at all.

She had the thought of killing herself right now. If not for her stupidity, she wouldn't suffer from these situations.

"Okay, since you're so sincere. I can give you some of the rock." Jin Rou said, "But in one condition."

"Please state the condition, Young Master." Xue Ziyan immediately answered. Her voice was filled with excitement and relief. No matter how hard it would be, she was willing to do so, even if she needed to surrender her treasured body!

"It's simple actually." Jin Rou smiled, "You just needed to defeat this lady next to me."
