Though the woman was old, her beauty was still there, shining like the most expensive stone in the world. Her slow walks made the spectators observe more, trying to identify the newcomer. However, most couldn't recognize her. After all, she was a very lowkey one that had never showed appearance in the public.
Jin Rou shook his head and smiled wryly, "You two came at the right time. It seems you have the same reason as Windshooter, no, Thunder Empress?"
Everyone who heard this almost shudder. It was actually the Thunder Empress! Currently, she was the oldest ancestor or Thunder God that no one could ever defy her orders. Not even the current Thunder King.
Furthermore, the Thunder Empress was a very strong era emperor, one that had almost entered the Godlist Rankings. You could imagine how strong she was.
Thunder King immediately knelt in front of Thunder Empress and said, "We greet Her Highness the Empress."
Usually, this old ancestor would never come out of her turf unless it's necessary. After all, even the public didn't know her actual appearance. But, why was she here then?

"But Your Highness... We cannot afford the price." Thunder King meekly answered. The old ancestor was angered for real so he needed to tread carefully or his head might roll later on.
"Then you should have contacted me. If not for feeling His Majesty's presence here, Thunder God has almost missed the opportunity!" Thunder Empress sighed and looked at Jin Rou, "Your Majesty, I'll be willing to pay for their entry. That's not a problem, right?"
"How can I say no? You even came out with your real body like Windshooter." Jin Rou shrugged his shoulder in helplessness, "Greenhouse, grant them entry."
"As you wish." Greenhouse Master immediately did it with a warning, "Once you got an opportunity, stop and get out of the lost realm. You cannot take two opportunities there, or else the tribulation might hunt you."
It was common sense not to be too greedy in lost realms. After all, the opportunities there were for all and should be given fair and square.
"Since you two come out personally, how about we have a small talk over some tea?" Jin Rou invited the empress and Windshooter.
Of course, how could the two not accept it? It was their honor to be invited by a person of this level!
Afterwards, Jin Rou used the most expensive courtyard of the Greenhouse. The ancestors themselves set up the tea tables for the three with utmost care. They even used their most precious tea cups and tea leaves.
Greenhouse Master was personally making the tea and pouring over the freshly made tea to the cups. He wasn't asked to do this but he volunteered. He knew that just by doing simple things could come out with benefits. After all, it was the legendary existence they were speaking!
Jin Rou sipped the tea and nodded, "You two are alive and well. I'm glad."
"It's because of your mercy, Your Majesty." Windshooter Era Emperor shook his head, "If not for you paving the escape path for us, we would have died just like everyone else."
"Indeed, it was thanks to you, Your Majesty, that we are still alive." Thunder Empress nodded and sipped a bit of the tea. Her moves were exquisite and graceful.
Jin Rou chuckled. Indeed. The two survived during the eighth challenge because of Jin Rou's interference. That god asked them to be part of his legion and knowing the wars between Han Li and that old man, the two knew they would be sacrificial pawns for the two big players. How could they let him be? They didn't want to die there, at least not being pawns.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmFortunately, Han Li made an escape route for those who didn't want to join the war. No one knew if it was his act of mercy or anything, but they knew that Han Li did let them keep their lives.
"It's natural. We cannot force people to die for our sake. For our personal gains and greed." Jin Rou said, "Each one of us has their own goals. Some may want to die, but some also want to live. For the sake of their loved ones."
More often than not, emperors at their level should have already severed their emotional connections. However, Thunder Empress and Windshooter didn't. They loved their sects more than anyone.
"Lostwind is a good seed to nurture rather than his son." Jin Rou spoke again, "He has the capability to become a good leader for your sect. I don't know how far will he go, but as long as his resolution is firm, he can be the next emperor of Elemental Wind."
This was such a high praise from Han Li. He was known to be a person who didn't like praising others. In fact, he liked insulting others more.
"I'll bear this in mind." With this, Windshooter would surely nurture Lostwind to the fullest extent. Right now, the rise of the sect was important.
"And as for your Thunder God," Jin Rou took another sip and looked at Thunder Empress, "Your prince might do the trick. If you can control his moodswings, then I can be sure he will soar."
The Thunder Prince was the son of Thunder King. Like any other, he was spoiled rotten that there was a problematic attitude sprouted. Of course, if properly disciplined right now, it still could be mended. If the Thunder God played the cards right, they would soar to the sky and look down on others again.
"This is a great help, Your Majesty." The Thunder Empress bowed. Words coming from the other party was more than enough to make those people go crazy. After all, many were dying to know Han Li's insight. It was normal, though. After all, that man was a legend which created many miracles in the past.
