In a courtyard of the Royal Castle, where not even the people of the castle could enter as long as they wished, Jin Rou was sitting in a beautiful chair made of glass . Opposite of him was an old man wearing a white robe, complementing his long white hair . He looked like an existence who experienced countless trials and tribulations but still survived until now .
The old man gracefully picked up the cup filled with a yellow tea, and slowly pulled it towards his mouth, the moves were so exquisite that even young girls would daze by this movement . Obviously, this old man was a very handsome man when he was still in his prime .
Seeing that the old man was enjoying the tea, Jin Rou also picked the cup filled with yellow tea in his front and sipped it .
The atmosphere between these two was so comforting, accompanied by the chirping of birds . Even Jin Rou was amazed . It seemed that this courtyard was made for peace .
After a short while, the old man put down his teacup on the table in a graceful manner and smiled, saying, "Sectmaster Jin, pardon me for taking a while . I just want to enjoy this tea without any disturbance . "
"That, I don't mind at all . " Jin Rou faintly smiled . He was speaking the truth . After all, the old man did not show any arrogance in front of him, the Celestial King . In fact, the old man's expression was filled with warmth . Jin Rou paused for a moment and asked, "May I know who is this distinguished elder?"
"Ahh . . . I forgot to introduce myself . Silly me, silly me . I am really getting old . " The old man laughed as a flash of bitterness appeared in his eyes which caught by Jin Rou, "I am Gong Zangyu, the progenitor of this Royal Castle . You can call me Progenitor Gong if you want . "
Jin Rou was a bit surprised . This old man was the progenitor of this Royal Castle? This was the first time that he met a progenitor level of existence in this mortal world . Jin Rou sized this old man again, and when he saw the withering vitality of this old man, he knew that Gong Zangyu was nearing his death . After returning back to his sense, he smiled and said, "Then Progenitor Gong, may I know why you called for me?"
"I just want to see what kind of being that brat Zao Dong has met . And by looking at you, he seems not mistaken about you . Even I could not gauge out your cultivation . " Progenitor Gong bitterly laughed . When he and Zao Dong talked yesterday night, Zao Dong had told him a thing or two about Jin Rou . This made Progenitor curious and wanted to meet Jin Rou personally . If not for his withering vitality, he might personally come to LD sect .
At first, he really did not believe that there would be someone who could hide his cultivation in front of him . However, the reality was in front of him . So he could only accept it .
Although Progenitor Gong did not dare to claim to be the strongest in this world, knowing that there were a lot of hidden dragons and crouching tigers in this world, he was still confident of his strength, especially with his eyes of discerning someone .
Seeing that Jin Rou only smiled after what he said, he paid no mind and asked Jin Rou, "I wonder if Sectmaster Jin could determine my cultivation?"
A challenge?— Jin Rou thought . Since Progenitor Gong could not gauge his cultivation, he wanted to try regaining back his face this way?
Jin Rou chuckled and looked straight at Progenitor Gong . Soon, a flash appeared in his eyes and smiled, "I did not expect that Progenitor Gong has already reached the first stage of Immortal Realm . "
Progenitor felt his body trembled . This young man in front of him had actually gauged out his cultivation . How was that possible? He only asked Jin Rou to regain his face from failing to determine the other party's cultivation . That's all . He did not expect that Jin Rou could actually do it .
Progenitor Gong now realized why he could not determine Jin Rou's strength . It seemed that Jin Rou's cultivation was stronger than him . And now, he was sure that this young man came from the higher world . However, why would such an existence like him descend to the mortal world?
Although Progenitor Gong could tell that Jin Rou was a good young man, he could not help but worry . And at the same time, he was curious about the background of him and his exact cultivation . However, this kind of questions was quite personal and should not be asked .
"You are so amazing, Sectmaster Jin . " After regaining back his senses, Progenitor Gong praised him, "It seems that that brat Zao Dong has a good fortune meeting you . "
He lowered his head for a bit and said in a low tone, "Please pardon this old bones of mine if I did annoy you in any way . " This type of existence was someone Progenitor Gong could not afford to offend even he had the backing of his master . So he took the initiative to apologize . Although he was yet to clarify who this young man was, he was sure that he had a huge backing .
Of course, Jin Rou knew what this old man meant . He probably already assumed that he was an existence that he could not afford to offend so he did this . After all, the old man let him wait for a while to enjoy his tea, thinking it might incur his displeasure .
Jin Rou shook his head and faintly smiled, "No, you do nothing wrong . "
Progenitor Gong opened his mouth to say something, however, he did not know how to say it .
"I know what you want to ask, so fret not, I have no plans of monopolizing this world . " Jin Rou clarified himself .
Progenitor Gong heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this . It seemed like a burden disappearing in his heart . However, after a while, a white flash appeared in his eyes, realizing something . However, he shook his head, smiling bitterly . His expression was filled with worry .
Jin Rou, of course, noticed this . He immediately understood what this old man thought and asked, "Progenitor Gong wants my help, right?"
Progenitor Gong shook, surprised . He looked at Jin Rou with admiration and a bit of worship, "Sectmaster Jin, nothing can escape your eyes, I may say . That's right, I was planning to ask for your help . However, I brushed this off knowing I have no qualifications to ask for it . "
"Royal King Zao Dong helped me in the past, so if I can help, I would like to . " Jin Rou said . However, the real reason he wanted to help this old man was that he could see that Progenitor Gong has a white inner heart and strong willpower . This was something worthy of admiration . So he felt that this old man was worth helping .
"Your Excellency . . . " Progenitor Gong was shocked . Soon, his eyes were filled with gratefulness as he looked at Jin Rou . He even changed Sectmaster Jin to Your Excellency . He believed that this young man can help . However, it was not for him, but for his dear master .
"At the very least, I can help master before I die . . . " Progenitor Gong sighed and muttered under his breath . Soon, he began explaining the matters he needed help with .
