167 Golden Card (2/2)
Zin Shi just wanted to bury herself in the ground in shame. Why of all times would she look like that at Jin Rou with such a face? She did not know why, but when Jin Rou smiled at her like that, she felt like he was the most handsome man in the universe. There was something that she could not explain that attracted her to him. It was like Jin Rou was a magnet and she was the metal. The jealousy she felt completely faded as if she had never felt it, to begin with.
She had seen so many youngmasters who were more handsome than Jin Rou... but when she looked at Jin Rou, it seemed that they paled in comparison as if they could not even hold a candle against him. She was always confident about her feeling, however, she is now confused. Was her feeling just a fluke?
”I said, I want to give this card to you.” Jin Rou did not wait for her answer and just put the card on to the hands of Zin Shi and with a smile like a bright sun, ”But you have to guide me where is the best place here to go in La Estance as the payment, how about it?”
Zin Shi, for the first time, felt her heart jumped and skipped a beat for a second, entering a dream-like daze for a while.

In a restricted location in Grivexia, where rolling mountains were the scenery...
”You said that Lai Ming was killed in that backward world?!” A middle-aged man with a black long hair, wearing a red robe, shouted in anger as he punched the wooden table into smithereens, 'Who would dare to kill someone from our Ancient Ming Clan?!”
”Father... he called himself Jin Rou. An arrogant man who thought of himself as the mightiest being living. He even said that we better think twice if we are to oppose him. He even said that he will personally come here in Grivexia to settle some matters.” Jyu Ming explained and added some words to light the anger of his father. His father held a high status in the clan and had a say even he spoke into the whole clan. What's more, this incident was too grave. After all, they needed that compass for their First Ming Ancestor.
”That Jin Rou has some guts there.” Mao Ming clenched his fist to control his hatred, ”To think he was daring enough to challenge us, the Ancient Ming Clan. How ignorant! Even the Terrace Everland Pavilion would have to think twice before waging war against us. And he, a one-man team, had the audacity? He even dared to kill Lai Ming!”
”Yes, Father. Although he was powerful than me, I doubt it that he was stronger than our senior brother. Hmph.” Jyu Ming said. He was also seething in anger as he remembered the humiliation he had to bear in the place. He would never forgive Jin Rou and would love to chop him into thousand pieces!
”I will talk to the other high elders about this now and think about how to resolve this problem. This problem should be solved as soon as possible. Go, report this to your senior brother first as he requested a report as soon as possible.” Mao Ming stood up and immediately went outside without waiting for his son's answer.
As Mao Ming disappeared, Jyu Ming took a deep breath and stared into the horizon with hatred, ”I told you, you will regret opposing us, the Ancient Ming Clan.”
