"Indeed." Jin Rou smiled and agreed, "This is nothing but a small setback. No need to loom over this."
Jin Rou was saying the truth. Even before the battle happened, this was already destined to happen. After all, Jin Rou was one of the gods who stood above all. So, it was natural for the emperor to be defeated.
Well, if Jin Rou intentionally want to lose, then it's another story.
"Haha. That's true." The emperor laughed heartily, as if this defeat wasn't a big deal at all, "I lost. So, it just proved that I have no right to get the child back."
Jin Rou didn't say anything for a second before looking at Xiu'er and asked him, "Xiu'er, do you want here in the clan?"
The emperor couldn't help but be surprised. He clearly lost the battle, why would Jin Rou bother asking this question? Not to ntion, under his care was a better idea than being in the clan.
While it might be true that Xiu'er could be nurtured into a true master soday, this might take a lot of ti. In fact, even the emperor didn't know when that would happen in case. After all, cultivation was hard. Even the talented emperor like him took a 1 million years to beco a progenitor of this level.
The dragon race was said to be arrogant and prideful, however, the true dragons knew and were aware of the fine line and their limits.
"..." Xiu'er didn't expect that Jin Rou would ask him, thus, he was speechless.
"It's okay." Jin Rou smiled and said, "Though you are under my care, if you want to stay and cultivate here in the clan, I will give you permission. This is your ho, too."
If Xiu'er wanted to stay here, why would he push the child to be with him? Furthermore, he had already given enough help. Now, it would only up to Xiu'er whether he wanted to stay here or co with Jin Rou.
What's more, the True Dragon Clan also had the power to save his mother. With his future status here, asking for help wouldn't be difficult. Take note, this clan had 6 progenitors, the emperor included. Not just that, rumors were stated that one of the progenitors might be soone at the immortal level.
So one could already imagine just how much power they wield. A Misty Ocean Sect would have no choice but to grit their teeth while letting the mother go. Unless they wanted their sect destroyed, that is.
Since it ca to this, the emperor couldn't help but be hopeful, wishing that Xiu'er might say yes.
The child seed to be thinking about this hard. So, they didn't disturb him.
Dead silence engulfed the entire place. No one dared to make noise. They even lessened their breathing, afraid that it might disturb the child.
Xiu'er was of great importance. So, they didn't want to bring inconvenience to him.
After a few minutes, Xiu'er broke the silence and finally decided, "I'm going to join the clan."
Hearing these heave-like words, the dragons in human form couldn't help but almost jump out in excitent. If not for their image they were trying to protect, they might have done it already.
Even the emperor, couldn't hide his happiness with this.
Their reactions were understandable. After all, this child was a genius that could sha all the past geniuses in the past, legendary figures included!
"But." However, Xiu'er seed to have a condition.
"Okay, let's hear your terms. Anything." The emperor was very happy. So, he wanted to give the child what he desired.
"I have only two conditions." With how important Xiu'er beca right now, he had the right to negotiate with the clan, using it to his advantage, "First, I want the True Dragon Clan to save my mother from the Misty Ocean Sect."
"Alright, consider this done." The emperor answered imdiately. He had no problems about this. In fact, it was okay too if Xiu'er wanted the non-dragon family of his to stay here in the clan too.
Furthermore, saving the mother was really easy as it seed. The Misty Ocean Sect was said to have no backer except their one progenitor at the eternal level. So offending this kind of sect wasn't a problem. Not to ntion this sect, they even banged heads with Dao Godly Light Palace in the past.
The True Dragon Clan was truly daring enough. Especially if they benefitted in it.
"What's the second condition?" The emperor asked.
"I will be accompanying Brother Jin until he find the Templar Clan." Xiu'er said which shocked everyone here.
Even Jin Rou wss surprised of how silly this condition was.
"Templar Clan?" Though the emperor was surprised, he still thought of this calmly, "What does your big brother have to do with the Templar Clan?"
The emperor's tone was serious. A clear indication that he was very wary of this force.
"He told that he needed to take care of a business there. But he also told that he didn't offend the clan or sothing. Business, just business." Xiu'er explained.
Hearing this, the emperor was relieved. He was very cautious of that clan. He could offend the palace and the valley, but this Templar Clan, he would never dare. After all, there was a terrifying secret that only few people knew, particularly by immortal progenitors and 12-laws true gods.
And this secret, was the sole reason why no one dared to challenge the clan's power. Though there would be minor skirmishes, the events only extended up to that.
"If that's the case, then I agree with your conditions." The emperor smiled, "You can travel with your big brother longer and help him with his business, and after that, you'll return here. Don't worry, before you return, I assure you that your mother will also be here too."
Hearing this, Xiu'er sighed in relief. Everything went smoothly. And all that was left, was to pay Jin Rou this insurmountable amount of help sohow.
