229 Cornered (2/2)

And Jin Rou, of course, had learned this technique. In fact, he had already learned all the Rou Styles available in the Celestial Library that only the Rou members had the access to.

Now that his grandma had released this ice castle, it would be hard for him to destroy it unless he used most of his strength. And if he used more strength, it would undoubtedly break the barrier and it might affect the people near them. No, it would really affect them and perhaps, many lives would be lost. And this was what Jin Rou did not want to happen.

Jin Rou was in a dilemma. For the first time of his life, he experienced such a pinch. His father, Fan Rou, had also fought with him in the past. Yet, if we were to compare Fan Rou and Yanlu Rou, the latter was way terrifying than the former!

What should he do? Breaking in into the sect with brute strength to save his friends was out of the question now that his grandma had released a formidable defense. Besides, even without the castle, Yanlu Rou was more than enough to be the defense herself. Release a technique stronger than the thunder dragon? Of course, he could. Only if he did not care about the lives of the living around them. If he was a heartless king, perhaps he had done it already to save his friends. But he was not. Although he was arrogant and cold-hearted when it came to his enemies, that attitude only applied to his enemies only.

But if he kept thinking about the well-being of the mortals, then his friends would die in their place. After all, the vital signs of his friends were weakening and weakening to the point that he could only faintly feel them. He could only save one and he needed to be heartless to the other. That's why he was currently in a pinch, unable to decide.

Jin Rou was always a decisive person. But this time, he did not know what to do at all.

If it was his father, the former Celestial King, what would he choose? Jin Rou thought that his father would also be undecided like him. But he was wrong as Fan Rou, as the Celestial King, already knew what he should do.

Yanlu Rou was enjoying this expression of this grandson of hers. As a grandmother who loves his grandson so much, she could not bear to hurt physically Jin Rou. If she really wanted to, there were many times that she could have done it. In fact, the previous attacks she made were precisely calculated according to Jin Rou's capabilities. Thus, she decided to attack Jin Rou mentally.

Besides, she wanted to see how would her grandson overcome this. Would he choose to use his real strength to save his friends and let the mortals be affected and die, or would he choose to do nothing and watch his friends die in order not to affect the innocent mortals who did not know what's happening?

Jin Rou remained silent for a while.

After which, the wind's direction suddenly changed. And Jin Rou's aura had completely changed into something else.
