198 Sea Ancient Race (1/2)
”What happened?” Lang Zing asked, confused. They were already out of the sect yet Ku Ming and Jin Rou did not utter any single word. Of course, with the heavy atmosphere he was feeling, he already deduced that the business was not successful. He just asked since he wanted to know what exactly happened inside.
After a long while of silence, Ku Ming finally broke the ice and answered, ”Those bastards are not willing to trade the Thousand-Life Lotus with our Phixiu ring.”

”How is that possible? That ring also came from the Outer World!” Lang Zing was dumfounded, although he already expected this kind of answer.
”I don't know either. But they always say that the our ring lacks something compared to their lotus so the trade won't be done unless I present something comparable to their lotus' worth.” Ku Ming was very dejected. The last thing that they cling their hope to was now shattered into pieces. How could their ancestor prolong his life now? Every second, his lifespan was withering and it's only a matter of time before the ancestor passes away. Once the ancestor died, many enemies would bare their fangs against them. With no Immortal Emperor guarding their clan, what would be the result once enemies attack? They will lose in a horrific and miserable way. After all, they have a lot of enemies in Grivexia. Furthermore, even those who are friends with them would bite them in the name of benefits.
”So what are you going to do now?” Lang Zing asked worriedly. This was the first time Ku Ming showed this weak side of his. He was always arrogant and unyielding. But it seemed like this responsibility he was currently carrying was heavier than everything else.
”I will accompany Young Master Jin first to his destination and I will head back after.” Ku Ming said. As he already said that he will accompany Jin Rou, he would stay true to his words. He was arrogant and sometimes unreasonable, but once he said something, he would stick to it no matter what.
”You don't need to.” Finally, Jin Rou said something, ”Since the transaction is a failure, you better return hurry and report it to your clan so that they can create measures as to what to do. It is utmost importance so it really did not matter if you accompany me or not.”
”Young Master Jin is right.” Lang Zing agreed, ”You better get going now. Perhaps your clan might find other ways once again. With your resources there, I doubt they will find nothing at all.”
Seeing that the two were already chasing him out, Ku Ming could only agree and said while handing green jade to Jin Rou, ”Fine fine. But I will leave this communication jade with Young Master Jin so that if ever I want to contact you or you might want to contact me.”
Jin Rou silently accepted it.
After a bit of talking, Ku Ming went the other direction and part ways with them.
”Lang Zing, why didn't you go home with Ku Ming? He said that your Terrace Everland Pavilion is on the way towards his clan and asked you if you want to go home already.” Jin Rou dropped a random topic.
