The Adventures Of The Young Master-Chapter 924 You Got Me
"I appreciate your thought, but I guess I'll pass up to it." The figure answered a long time of pondering. In truth, he was also greatly enticed by the offer.
It's freedom. Freedom from this damned place. Of all people out there, Han Li was the only one capable of doing it. In other words, this was his only first and last chance of getting out of here. But in the end, he refused.
"I'm already accustomed to this loneliness. And even I go out, there will be no one to wait for me." The figure said. Those he loved were now dead. No one could escape the erosion of time itself and eventually would die. Even he got out, what would he do?
Ravage the world? He's too old for that. He even let his grudge against Han Li go. He just wanted now to live and die in peace. Perhaps it's lonely here, but at the very least, there's nothing to worry about. ƒ𝚛𝐞𝚎𝑤𝘦𝚋𝓷o𝚟e𝘭.c𝐨𝙢
Furthermore, he had lived for too long. He couldn't ask for more.
Jin Rou smiled and said, "I see."
He fully understood the figure's reasons. At their power level, they didn't want anything aside from dying in peace, with no regrets or anything like that. For sure, even he reached the end of his life, he wanted to die without worries.
Furthermore, it must be painful to live that long yet you see your loved ones dying one by one. And in the end, you're all alone again. It's tiring and perhaps it already wore the figure in the long period of time.
"I won't force you then." Jin Rou didn't want to force his offer if the other party wasn't willing, "Each of us has a choice to live through. As long as we don't regret it, then I guess it's okay. The dao is too cruel, it's okay to stop at some time."
Jin Rou couldn't judge the figure. After all, the latter had many achievements in his life in the past and his prime time. His choice was to stop and rest until death, while Jin Rou chose to move forward and take the old man's life.
"I didn't see myself actually seeing you in a different light." The figure mockingly laughed himself, "In the past, I'm so hellbent in exacting my revenge that I lost track of myself."
"Of all the enemies I created in the past, you are by far the strongest." Jin Rou shook his head, "If you didn't marry and have a child, you might be on my level now."
The figure could be said someone that rivaled two top existences. The old man, and Han Li. There were those who even said that if Han Li and this figure combined their strength, the old man wouldn't have a chance to live past the day.
Unfortunately, the figure chose a different path and even earned the anger of many existences, leading to him stuck here in Coinlost.
"But I didn't regret that I chose them over power." The figure became a bit emotional after hearing them. Memories he tried to suppress resurfaced in his mind. Faces of two women appeared, one was old and the other was young.
"That's the most important part. That you don't regret a choice you made. People didn't want to die regretting, after all." Jin Rou said, "And by the way, I'm planning to go see your daughter."
The figure's aura turned cold and said, "If you want to put her under you ranks for the war, drop it Li. Even if I have to suffer consequences from breaking the laws here forcefully, I'm gonna drag you back down here in Coinlost and be stuck with me forever."
Truly, the figure had the capability to do so. Though the price would be heavy, if Jin Rou schemed for his daughter, he would really do it.
Jin Rou laughed and said, "Calm down. Though she inherited your talent in cultivation, it's not enough for her to enter my ranks, anyway. I just want to talk to her."
"And what do you want to talk with her?" The figure didn't buy it. Knowing Han Li's eccentric personality, he must be scheming something and his daughter would be dragged down the mud.
"That's a secret." Jin Rou chuckled. He stretched his arms and said, "I've spent too long here. It's time for me to depart."
"Do you have enough coins to go back?" The figure asked. Going here already cost the other party trillions of coins. It would be another set of trillions of coins if they wanted to go back.
"Of course. I don't need your treasures here so keep it." Jin Rou said.
"Li, look at this." Before Jin Rou could turn his back, the figure showed his big palm and an item floated above. It was a sword with transparent color. Inside of it was a black energy rolling, "If you promise me not to involve my daughter in your war, you can take this."
He knew that Han Li had been paying prices to seek for information regarding this sword and he was very sure that Han Li wouldn't pass up this opportunity.
And as expected, Jin Rou's expression turned into a flabbergasted one, "How did you have this sword?"
"Just like you, I have my means." The figure said, "What do you say?"
The figure would do everything to keep his daughter out of this bloody mess. He just wanted her to live her life the way she wanted it to be. This sword was too precious even for him but he was willing to give it to Jin Rou if it could guarantee her safety.
"You got me, Andromeda." Jin Rou smiled wryly. He didn't expect that this sword was in his possession. In fact, not even Han Li calculated this, "All right, I promise that I will not recruit your daughter into anything that might put her into danger."
Hearing this, the figure threw the sword away to Jin Rou, "I'll keep your word."
With the deal sealed, the figure could finally be at ease.
