Chapter 298: Dao Godly Light Palace (2/2)
The two would suffer indescribable losses. And they might give those silent predators a piece of their pie.
And that's something they wouldn't let happen.
Perhaps, if it's another power like Burnfield Stone Sect, the palace would be willing to offend them and snatch Jin Rou and Xiu'er. Though their reputation might receive a huge blow, they would benefit in the long run. After all, the palace only cared about their future prospects. The pillars of the palace were already aging, Elder Zuwo included. Thus they needed to train fresh and talented seeds to grow into a capable and large tree.
”The Templar Clan is blessed by the heavens to have the two of you.” Elder Zuwo smiled and said, ”Then how about we become friends?”
Since Elder Zuwo couldn't get them, he might as well befriend them. After all, befriending future masters would benefit him and their palace greatly.
”Of course, there's no problem about that.” Jin Rou smiled, ”I am called Jin, and this little brother of mine is called Xiu'er.”
”I see, so Daoist Friend Jin and Little Friend Xiu'er.” Elder Zuwo looked at them amiably, like a grandfather looking at his grandsons, ”Very well, I will go out for a minute to attend to a simple matter. You two friends just enjoy your tea. If you want something, you can call for my maid, she'll be stationed outside of this room so that it will be easy to communicate with her.”
Elder Zuwo smiled and got off from his seat. Immediately, he left the room without further ado.
”What are you thinking?!” Finally, Xiu'er couldn't hold it in and said, ”Affiliated with Templar Clan? My ass. You didn't even know their place! And you even declined the invitation for me. That's a legitimate Dao Godly Light Palace's invitation!”
”And?” Jin Rou took another sip of his tea.
”What and? I want to join them!” Xiu'er glared at Jin Rou, ”I want to be powerful soon enough.”
”What for?” Jin Rou asked, ”To save your mother?”
”...” Xiu'er didn't answer. However, his expression gave Jin Rou the obvious answer.
”If you want to get your mother back soon, Dao Godly Light Palace will not be the best help. After all, they have limited resources.” Jin Rou spoke in a mild tone.
”Dao Godly Light Palace stood at the peak of this world. No, they have an abundant amount of resources.” Xiu'er retorted.
”Abundant yet limited.” Jin Rou explained, ”Not because something is abundant, it's already unlimited.”
”...” Xiu'er found this argument logical and he had nothing to say about this.
”Besides, the palace will not be able to push out all of your potential even in the future. There's only one man who can do so.” Saying this, Jin Rou smirked.
