Chapter 660 - Almost Puked Blood

"..." Emperor Randies was speechless. Usually, those who they extended help with would jump in joy and accept it immediately like it was a grace from the gods. Yet Jin Rou didn't think like that. He was weighing his pros and cons before coming into decision and making sure that he knew what should be known.

Emperor Lin opened his mouth in shock too. Jin Rou actually questioned Emperor Randies in his face!

"Young man, what is your name?" Emperor Randies asked. His eyes were filled with curiosity.

"Jin Rou. A mere passerby of this world." Jin Rou answered in a casual manner. He was already used to this.

"Then Jin Rou, I can put my name and life in line that our law has no bearing of ill intentions towards you. The ancestor only wants to help you because your late master helped him in the past. Just think about this as our ancestor returning the favor." Emperor Randies spoke.

Emperor Lin creased his brows. The other emperor had just made an oath and it was very serious. So he had no choice but to believe. It seemed that the empire had no bad motives for them.

Jin Rou, also, had to believe it now. That was a serious oath, thus clearing all his doubts. Unfortunately, he still shook his head and said, "As you said, three laws are hunting me down. If I go to your empire, the three laws will also target you. I don't think you will earn a benefit when it happens."

That's true. The Purple Haven Empire boasted its economic success for countless of years. Many rich tycoons and traders usually migrate to this place to earn a decent living. What would happen if they were implicated of the wrath of the three empires' laws? The first thing that would suffer was their economic standards and growth. And that's possibly something the Purple Haven Empire didn't want to happen.

In Jin Rou's point of view, this help was too much for a repayment.

Of course, Emperor Randies had thought it too and smiled wryly, "You have a point. But the ancestors insists on bringing you over."

"I doubt it will be possible for me to agree." Jin Rou smiled, "The offer is very tempting. However, I still have to decline."

"Why?" Emperor Randies was puzzled. He extended an oriole branch yet the other party still didn't take it. It was confusing.

"Because I cannot watch my master's empire fall down while I'm trying to save myself." Jin Rou spoke, he was filled with resolution, "This empire means so much to my master. How can I watch it crumble down? Now that I'm here, I don't think those clowns will have an easy way."

Hearing this, Emperor Lin felt his eyes warmed. The successor of their ancestor was a filial person. All of his jealousy was faded off and all he could now feel was awe and respect for the other party.

Emperor Randies almost choked, "Are you aware that it's not just the three laws attacking? Many kingdoms and Dao Supremes will also be present! The Phoenix Empire has only two Dao Supremes. If you fight them, you all will just be committing suicide together!"

"I know it's an absurd action, but I have a plan in mind." Jin Rou wasn't the type to engage in battle without a plan.

"What plan?" Emperor Randies felt like his head was aching right now. For the past days, he didn't have a good sleep as he was traveling and managing matters of the empire. And now, this kid was stressing him by adamantly rejecting his good will.

"That's a secret for now." Jin Rou chuckled.

Emperor Randies almost puked blood from frustration. He had a slight thought of strangling the young man in front of him. It had been a long time since he strangled an annoying lad, "Then if you executed your plan, how high are your chances of winning?"

"That depends. That's all I can say." Jin Rou smirked. In truth, everything lied if the plan would work out or not. After all, even he wasn't sure but he wished to try. But, he was confident in his skills so it might work, who knows?

"Goodness gracious..." Emperor Randies felt like his vision was turning blurry and dark. This lad might be the cause of his death someday so he had to distance himself away. He couldn't hurt the lad since he was a very importantly figure unlike the man he strangled in the past for trying to steal his wife.

"If that's all, please enjoy your tea, Your Majesty Emperor Randies." Jin Rou stood up and said, "This will be a long and difficult fight so I must prepare well."

"What will you do?" Nevertheless, Emperor Randies still asked.

"I'll just visit a certain place." Jin Rou said and eventually left the library.

Emperor Randies leaned on the chair and took a deep breath, "Ancestor Feng Lin is truly amazing, to get such a successor of that level. No wonder our ancestor has high standards too."

"Well, there are many capable seeds in your family so your ancestor might choose one of them." Emperor Lin tried to console the depressed emperor. This emperor almost died from frustration because of Jin Rou.

"Capable, haha." Emperor Randies laughed wryly, "If there is, the ancestor will not even think about choosing someone outside of the family."

Emperor Randies himself was a bona fide Dao Supreme, much stronger than Emperor Lin. He had the talents to become a law yet the ancestor refrained from him thinking that he was already too old to take the power. But he didn't hold grudge because of it. After all, there was truly more capable than him.

Ancestor Violet Cloud just wanted the prosperity of the empire so he never judged the ancestor's decision even if more often than not, it wasn't aligned go his.

Emperor Lin didn't comment on this. It was a personal issue and he had no say about it. All he could do now was tap the emperor's back in consolation. He felt the same too, but the other emperor had taken the feelings more graceful than him.
