Chapter 381: Ancestral Grounds (1/2)
Ancestral Grounds was one of the sacred place of the Rou Celestial Realm. As everything that could be seen here was from the legendary ancestors that the realm have ever had. Of course, since it was a sacred place, then little to limited only could enter this place. Unless there was an enough reason, the guardians guarding the grounds wouldn't let anyone in.
”It's been a while, Your Majesty.” The guardian tiger beast said as it bowed its head, ”I didn't expect your coming here in the Ancestral Grounds.”
Though the tiger had already known that Jin Rou returned home, it didn't anticipate that he would come here in the Ancestral Grounds. After all, there was nothing that could be of any use for him here.
”Yes, it's been a while, Uncle Tigero.” Jin Rou smiled and gave back the formality, ”I see that you are still the one managing the grounds. I thought you're going to retire as you have told me.”
”Ah, Your Majesty. If it were just me, I really wanted to retire and rest now,” Uncle Tigero sighed and smiled weakly, ”But my descendants are all incompetent. Who can I entrust this grounds? Them? No, but thanks. If they would manage this place, then I'm very sure that it would fall the next day.”
Jin Rou laughed when he heard this. Indeed, though he didn't mean any harm to that, it was a fact that Uncle Tigero's offsprings weren't capable yet. After all, they were still youths that were trying to find their paths so it was natural.
Uncle Tigero glanced at the lady who was beside Jin Rou and instantly recognized her, ”Lady Syni Su, welcome to our Ancestral Grounds.”
”Thank you.” Syni Su didn't mind the late greetings of the tiger and smiled.
Uncle Tigero smiled. He very knew these two were always together since they were a child as they made this grounds their playground. And he was the one responsible for looking after them. Though he never said anything regarding the two, he knew that Jin Rou and Syni Su were a match made by the universal heavens.
He was just wondering and curious of what stage were they in now? Or perhaps, were they going to get married immediately? Of course, Uncle Tigero didn't outright say this and all remained inside his mind.
”Uncle, we are going to enter now. Grandma has told me to get me something from here.” Jin Rou said.
”Alright, Your Majesty. Please be safe.” Uncle Tigero opened the gate and the two entered swiftly.

”The grounds didn't change after all these years.” Syni Su broke the silence and spoke.
”Yes, aside from adding, everything remains the same here since then.” Jin Rou agreed.
The grounds was the home of contributions made by the heroes of this world. So, you can see almost everything here. It varied from treasures, techniques, and deep formations that the sages had learned and created.
And since it was a sacred place, any bad deeds of all categories weren't entertained here. If one was caught, they could be sentenced with a lifetime hell suffering or death.
