Chapter 501: Kingdoms Source (1/2)
”Thank you for helping my son, Asner.” Tibur Xero delivered his sincere gratitude towards the other party. If not for Jin Rou discovering it, his son's future might have been jeopardized successfully. He knew his son very well, despite acting strong in front of other people, he was actually weak hearted.
If the enemies were successful with their attempt, he was very sure that this would leave a shadow in Asner's heart. It would hinder his cultivation progress and might not reach his aim in the future. And as the successor of the Xero clan, it would be a big blow to them. After all, Asner was the sole rightful successor of Tibur Xero.
”It is nothing. I just take it as repaying the favor of Asner.” Jin Rou said the truth. He was the type of person who didn't want to owe anyone if he could help it.
”You are too modest.” Tibur Xero had a bad taste towards humans because of what happened in the past. But, he couldn't bring himself to hate this young man, ”I would love to invite for a tea. However, my schedule is pretty tight right now, added the fact that this incident happened.”
”It's okay. I understand, we can do it some other time.” Jin Rou smiled. He had a bit of respect towards this man called Tibur Xero.
Tibur Xero nodded. He smiled and looked at Asner and said, ”Son, I'm going to reschedule your test. And it will be personally oversee by my most trusted aid. So just be prepared for it.”
”Okay.” Asner affirmed. He was happy because he was given a chance to retake the take once again. And by that time, there wouldn't be any more foul play.
Tibur Xero left after saying a few more words afterwards. Jin Rou looked at the surroundings and said, ”It's better if we leave too. The people here are looking at us. It won't be beneficial to you.”
Asner looked around and found out it was true. He suddenly became uncomfortable and walked away dragging Jin Rou gently. Being dragged on, Jin Rou laughed and let the other party do it.
After more than an hour of walking, Asner and Jin Rou reached a strange place. It was a tall steep mountain. It was filled with deadly rocks and its height was almost piercing the sky.
Jin Rou didn't know why Asner took him here. Nevertheless, he didn't ask. He still waited there until Asner speak his mind.
”This is a place I used to play when I was a child. I don't know why, but a voice is ringing inside my head telling me to come here and play.” Asner shared a sensitive story with Jin Rou. It was the first time he shared with someone. In fact, not even his parents knew this.
Jin Rou was still silent, waiting for the next part of the story. He knew there's something more.
