Chapter 342: Luminous

What would be the urgent matter that Jin Rou needed to discuss with the ancestors of their clan? Wasn't her, with a very high status, not enough to receive it?

This was the reason why she was surprised. By now, Jin Rou should have already guessed how high her position in this clan. It was why she tried to know the reason why Jin Rou came here.

But who would have thought that it would take a turn for an effect she didn't expect nor desired.

"You can discuss it with me, Daoist Friend." Luminate tried to act compose and still tried to get the better of this situation, "If you don't know, I have almost all the rights and authority of our clan. So anything you need help with, you can talk it out with me."

"I appreciate your thought." Jin Roi expressed his thanks. But ultimately, he shook his head and said, "However, I really need to talk to your ancestors about this. It is very urgent, so if you can help me to arrange to meet them, I would be deeply grateful to you."

Jin Rou could just declare his identity and he was sure that everyone would come bow their heads, kneeling, without further ado. However, he wanted to see the colors of these people that his family had entrusted with. After all, the Rou Family had given them an item and asked them to keep it.

And to his surprise, this woman, Luminate, had a powerful and clean inner heart that only he could see in their realm. In fact, even in their realms, this kind of clean inner heart was rare.

Of course, there were also people who had a dark hearts with white spots here. Shain was one of them.

"You're overstepping your boundaries, aren't you?" Shain was hostile against Jin Rou and spoke, "Her Highness is already giving you tantamount grace yet you keep on declining, trying to find a better one. Not just that, you want to meet the ancestors, someone that even us was incapable of meeting in a whim?"

It was like Shain was waiting for a chance to criticize Jin Rou. Now that she had found an opportunity, she didn't hesitate to do so.

Jin Rou didn't know why this middle-aged woman was very hostile with him. If he remembered right, he hadn't met Shain yet. What would be the reason for this?

"It is because your lives are on the line. I need to talk to your ancestors to keep you guys alive." Jin Rou answered filled with seriousness.

Luminate was stupefied with this answer. Though she had thought of many absurd answers that Jin Rou would come up with, she didn't expect this one.

Their lives were on the line? Wasn't this a blatant threat right on their noses?

"You dare to threaten us?!" Shain, as expected, was angered and provoked, "I don't know who you are and where you came from but just this threat was enough to send you to death!"

"And whoever you are too, I advise you to back off and hold your horses." Jin Rou was unhappy with Shain's attitude towards him, "Since you are part of this clan, I will let this slide. You don't need to apologize, you just need to shut your trap."

Jin Rou didn't want any bloodshed here in this place. After all, it was a place which his family had taken a liking to.

"..." Shain was flabbergasted with the words of Jin Rou. She couldn't help but laugh in madness and said, "You are showing mercy? Who are you to give that shit to me!"

Shain gave a stance that she was about to declare an offense against the other party. Luminate released a small amount of her aura to stop her the moment she attacked.

However, when Shain was about to attack, Luminate didn't need to stop her as a voice suddenly rang their ears which put Shain into halt.

"Shain, why are you so aggressive? Stop it now." It was a man's voice. They looked at the direction where the voice came from and saw a man with handsome features. He was wearing a pink robe that appeared very manly on him. His pink hair was also something to comment of as it was as pretty as Luminate's, albeit shorter.

"Your Highness Luminous." Shain instantly gave a kneel and said, "I didn't know that you will be here."

With this interaction, Jin Rou was getting more clues and the picture was getting clearer in his mind.

Luminous was the third brother that Shain was talking about a while ago, the one that was waiting for Luminate.

"It's not right to attack a guest of our clan, Shain." Luminous sized up Jin Rou and gave a threatening gaze for a split second. Of course, Jin Rou had caught it, "It's been a long time since a visitor has visited our place so we shall accommodate him heartily."

Then, he clapped his hands and said, "That said, I will volunteer myself to receive this young master and give him the best accommodation our clan could offer."

"I'm not here for sightseeing. I am here for an urgent matter." Jin Rou clarified.

"Yes, yes. You are here for an emergency but you can't just meet our ancestors that easily. It doesn't work that way." Luminous chuckled.

Jin Rou sneered. He knew that this man was hiding for a long time, so it was to be expected that he heard everything he said.

"Why is that? Your sister here, I think, is more capable than you and can arrange things according to her bid. It's not like it's difficult, it's just you don't want to put an effort to it. After all, what benefit would it bring you?" Jin Rou bombarded Luminous with words. He knew that this third brother was no good, just like Shain.

"..." Luminous was speechless for a second before laughing with sinister tone, "It's true that my sister is more capable than me. But it doesn't give you the right not to put me on a pedestal. I admire your courage."
