Chapter 951 Appointing Leader

Jin Rou had already tackled the resources issue and the foundation dao law. As long they were given time, the Firegate would rise again. The first two held the most vital parts of the plan, and Jin Rou prioritized them before moving on to the next.

Xiaolei, Elder Sihun, and the two ancestors were all flabbergasted by how things unfolded. They never expected that revitalization of their sect was still possible. They were now looking at Jin Rou in new and bigger light. For them, he was the benefactor of the Firegate. Even the two arrogant ancestors had to bow down to him.

"The next thing I wanted to deal with is the leadership." Jin Rou saw their faces filled with awe and respect towards him, "I don't think any of you has any qualm regarding who will I pick?"

"Please pick whoever you want, Young Noble." Ancestor Triune was short to the uptake and immediately said, "Your will must be abided by the Firegate."

Ancestor Trest gave the other ancestor a side eye. But his thoughts were also the same, so he didn't need to voice it. Likewise, he had no complaints regardless of who would be that person to take leadership, albeit they already had a hunch who it was.

"Very well. I appoint Xiaolei as the Young Sect Master of Firegate." Jin Rou said. The coin wasn't enough to firm Xiaolei's position in the sect, thus he declared him to be the sect master.

Xiaolei had known this coming and neared Jin Rou and knelt, "It is my pleasure to serve Firegate, Young Noble."

The ancestors and Elder Sihun cupped their fists and said, "We greet the new Young Sect Master."

Jin Rou's words weighed more than they could imagine. Now that Xiaolei's position was solidified by his declaration, no one would be able to oppose it no matter what they do. After all, it was already released and treated as an official decree. Even if Jin Rou was gone, the Firegate had no choice but to accept that Xiaolei was the current sect master of Firegate.

Unless they wanted to suffer the consequences, they wouldn't dare mess with this arrangement.

"I like behaved people." Jin Rou smiled and took out a book, "Since I'm in a good mood, I'll be leaving this book to all of you to learn its dao law. With your fire affinity, it is not impossible to learn it as long as you are dedicated."

Xiaolei received the book and though it's written in strange language, he immediately understood it and said, "Everfire Dao Law!"

Everfire Dao Law was a law created by a top eternal monarch in a distant past, untraceable as now. The dao law focused on the right usage of fire and additional type of fire, Ever.

Many said that the dao law was imperfect and needed many modifications in order to display its full prowess. But with Jin Rou's help, the modification was successful though the learning rate was quite low.

Meaning, those who had a fate with the dao law would be the only ones to learn it fully. In any case, the Everfire Dao Law was an additional boost to Firegate.

"Thank you, Young Noble." Xiaolei knew that what Firegate received this day was more than what could they get after millions of years.

"Don't worry about it. If not for you being smart, I really don't want to give a care about this sect." Jin Rou shook his head, "I'll be meeting you before I depart, so be sure to visit me."

After saying that, Jin Rou left the courtyard while the rest were kneeling. Ancestor Trest felt a bit of regret. If he just acted smart, he might perhaps been rewarded too. Nevertheless, what the Firegate obtained was more than enough, already.

Night came. Jin Rou was moonbathing. He was under the illumination of the moon and feeling the cold breeze of the evening. His eyes were closed but he was very aware of what was happening in the surroundings.

"You have done the end of the deal excellently, I'm very impressed." A familiar voice suddenly sounded out which Jin Rou could only hear, "I didn't choose the wrong person, indeed."

There was a slight chuckle from the voice. Jin Rou didn't open his eyes but his lips curved into a smile, "It was you who asked after all. And with that brat's personality, I come to my mood to give a bit more."

"Yes, you gave a dao law that could induce many greedy eyes from the public." The voice said. The dao law was too precious and powerful at the same time. It was enough to create bloody wars all around the world.

"Xiaolei will manage to pull through." Jin Rou assured, "Besides, you will be there in case they face something they cannot change."

This time, Jin Rou opened his eyes and looked at the figure by his side, "Firelord, I don't know if you're trying to die or not. Using an avatar to just talk to me, isn't this seeking death?"

"I have my means. I can use my avatar for over five minutes before getting discovered." Firelord turned out used an avatar to get through the space and talk to Jin Rou.

"If that old man knows you are doing this, even Firegate will not be spared. By that time, I don't think even I can save them from him." Jin Rou shook his head. You cannot trick the heavens for many times.

Firelord smiled and understood what Jin Rou implied. He nodded and said, "Then I'm going to cancel this. It will be a long time again before I can avoid his eyes during travel."

"It's not like we will meet again." Jin Rou chuckled. With his efforts, he already did the end of his deal. He had no debts anymore and was free to do whatever he wanted again.

Firelord chuckled after hearing this and immediately turned into light. He appeared and disappeared without a trace.
