Chapter 648 - Precious Gift

3 Universal Laws? Jin Rou was still stumped despite expecting this. Three laws ganging up against an old man? They had no shame, and to think his master thought of them as brothers.

Jin Rou's eyes flashed with anger and hatred. He would make sure that those people pay for what they did to his master. As for forgiveness? They could just ask his master in their journey towards nothingness.

"Jin, I know that you are angry right now." Aunt Lina could feel the raging emotions of Jin Rou although he remained calm and collected, "Those three are top predators and can even kill Feng Lin, the strongest of the laws. I don't want you to be rash and think through all your possible ways. You are the successor of Feng Lin, so you have to be careful. Those old monsters have an experience amounting to trillions of years and you couldn't underestimate them."

"I understand." Jin Rou nodded his head. He understood Aunt Lina's concern, "You don't have to worry about me, Aunt. I never do something that I might lose."

Aunt Lina could see the brimming confidence back in the young man's eyes. She couldn't help but be amazed of how strong his control over his emotions was. It was outstanding. After all, not even experienced young generation members of this world could pull this through. At the very least, not this type.

She could see that Jin Rou knew what he was doing and he already considered the pros and cons of journeying here. She heaved a sigh of relief and spoke, "Now I understand why Feng Lin didn't bother giving the inheritance to his descendants."

"Speaking, what is the current state of the empire as of now?" Jin Rou asked.

He heard that Phoenix Empire was in a dire trait as they no longer had a law to back them up. Many kingdoms along with empires were planning on invading the Phoenix Empire and grab a bite of the pie. Who could actually resist the temptation of biting a pie called Phoenix Empire? Of all the empires, it had the longest history and its foundation was very sturdy. Furthermore, the treasuries of this empire was so abundant. Not to mention, the main brach of Destiny was also located here.

"A looming threat is above the empire." Aunt Lina sighed, "Even I will be helpless against it. Those empires and kingdoms are hungry wolves, ready to devour this empire. However, now that you're here, I doubt that it will still happen."

"Indeed." Jin Rou nodded. How could he let these foolish people take his master's empire? He would do everything to protect it, "One more thing, Aunt."

"Ask away, Dear Nephew." Since Jin Rou consistently called her Aunt, she might as well call him nephew which made her smile, "Anything for you."

"Who is that law that has died? And where is his legacy located at?" Jin Rou already made plans regarding his counter attack. However, he couldn't tell his Aunt Lina. Not because he didn't trust her, but he had to keep it confidential. Who knows who might be listening right now?

Aunt Lina was surprised of this question. Nevertheless, she still answered, "The one who died is also an old friend of your late master. He is the one who has been protecting Phoenix Empire after Feng Lin passed away. His name is Arnold Light."

She paused for a moment and continued, "As for the whereabouts of his legacy, no one knows. Even his descendants who supposed to have it don't know where it is. So everyone is crazy finding it."

An old friend of his master, Arnold Light. Jin Rou imprinted this in his mind, "What is his empire called?"

"Light Empire far away from here. It will take you a month before reaching that place." Aunt Lina answered.

"Thank you for the help, Aunt." Jin Rou bowed once again. He knew that everything she said was true, thus he was feeling grateful.

"No need to mention it. You are already a family." Aunt Lina chuckled and grabbed a a treasure box that she had hidden very well, "This, take it. Inside is something that will definitely help you when you fight against those bastards."

Jin Rou's hand shook as he received the treasure box. He could feel the intense power raging inside the box, "This is too much, Aunt."

"No, just consider it as my gift for you since you have the score for that broken zither in the first floor." Aunt Lina smiled. There was a broken zither displayed on the first floor of the store and it was supposedly hopeless to fix it unless one had the score. Jin Rou perhaps discovered that it was the greatest treasure of the first floor and created the score for it to be fixed.

To Aunt Lina, the zither was a very precious treasure for her but she chose to display it in hopes that someone knew the score of it. However, she was aware that only Feng Lin knew that score as he personally gave it to her. So she eventually gave up. Who thought that Jin Rou would suddenly appear in this world and grant her long time wish?

Giving her most precious item wasn't enough to pay Jin Rou for this.

Since Aunt Lina was being adamant, Jin Rou had no choice but to accept it, "Thank you for your grace, Aunt. I will be now departing for the Lin Imperial Clan."

"Hooh, are you already going to make this empire under your control, Dear Nephew?" Aunt Lina raised her brow, curious.

"That is what I am supposed to do. I heard that the clan is struggling right now so it won't be bad to give them a little hand." Jin Rou smiled. He had no connection to the imperial clan, but his late master had.

"Alright, you have to be careful still." Aunt Lina had known the Lin Imperial Clan for so long and she knew the pattern of their emotions. They might try to antagonize Jin Rou but that wouldn't be a problem for her.

She would fully support Jin Rou no matter what he wanted to do.
