"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 so other ti." 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 affird. He was happy because he was given a chance to retake the take once again. And by that ti, 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 beca 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 to co here and play." Asner shared a sensitive story with Jin Rou. It was the first ti he shared with soone. 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 sothing more.
"But the voice suddenly faded away one day. It no longer rings in my head to co over. Until now, the voice didn't return. Perhaps it was just my illusion in the first place." Asner laughed weakly, "That voice was the one who taught so many things. It was an incredible experience and I would love to hear it again."
It looked like Asner had a good relationship with the voice. Jin Rou asked, "This voice, aside from inviting you here, did it say sothing?"
Asner kept quiet for a long ti and Jin Rou didn't bother him anymore. Eventually, he answered and said, "The voice told that the kingdom's source is here. It said that the very foundation and the source were here. But I didn't dare to disclose it to anyone until now. Aside from not knowing if this is true or not, this information would be highly sought by our neighboring enemies that keep on pressuring us. "
Jin Rou expanded his senses and seek for abnormal occurrences and he sensed a few. One of it was slumbering deep of this land. Perhaps, it was the source that Asner was talking about.
Jin Rou didn't know what's the purpose of the voice to say this and let Asner co along. He didn't care anyway. The issue of the kingdom isn't within his scope to care about. But, he wanted to extend a little help and said, "What the voice said holds credibility."
Asner shook involuntarily and looked at Jin Rou with an expression filled with disbelief, "Really?"
For Asner, the image of Jin Rou was getting bigger and bigger. His instincts were telling him that it would be greatly beneficial for him to stay by Jin Rou's side. It wasn't just blind confidence, as Asner firmly believed his intuition. After all, it never failed him.
"Yes. You can trust on this." Jin Rou smiled, "So what now, do you want to find the source?"
Jin Rou was willing to help Asner with this. It was a luck of a thousand lifetis accumulated by his ancestors and if he was smart, he wouldn't dare to waste Jin Rou's grace. Of course, if Asner declined, it wouldn't be a big deal.
Asner's eyes filled with burning desire and determination. A desire to beco stronger, and determination to be the strongest. But soon he realized a problem and it dimd, "But even I found the source, what can I do about it? I am yet to beco an emperor, how could I control it?"
Indeed. It was a despairing problem. It was general knowledge that only ancient emperors had the capabilities to control sources. Asner was not even yet at the peak of Foundation realm, how could he challenge it?
"That's why I'm here. And that voice, I'm sure he's trying to help you to beco stronger." Jin Rou said, "Don't worry. With here, there won't be any danger so you can test your luck with your everything."
Jin Rou believed that not only by becoming an emperor would a cultivator could control the source. There were a few available thods that Jin Rou knew would be feasible to work.
