The Adventures Of The Young Master

"How have you been?" Jin Rou asked. It wasn't his issue but he wanted to check her out for Han Li's sake. Although the latter was saying that it's just a mere fateful encounter, Jin Rou knew that Han Li cared for Liline.

"Okay, I guess. The world is the same." Liline answered briefly, "And I guess, seeing you here in Mortalis means that you're going to challenge that again?"

"Indeed. It's my final goal and I may rest in peace after that." Jin Rou smiled.

Han Li had been looking for the final answer. And he assumed that the answer he was looking for would be after slaying that god. It had been a very long war, and it's time to settle it once and for all.

"Do you know that my father hates you for this?" Liline said with sadness, "You can just live your life happily, start a sect or whatsoever, you can do it easily and no one can antagonize you especially in the Nine Heavens and Thousand Realms. Why do you keep on fighting that existence which defeated you many times now? It's more than an answer, no?"

She had a point, though. Han Li had a chance to live his life freely out of the bloods and wars and hatred of the world. He could just simply wash his hands and pretend not to remember anything. But he kept on treading towards the dangerous places.

For her, it was some sort of lunacy.

"I cannot stop." It was Jin Rou and Han Li's final answer, "No matter what, forward is my only choice."

Liline expected this kind of answer but still, she looked disappointed, "Don't you care about your daughter? I know you're just stopping by, but can you at least show her you're a father?"

But the exact question was, how to become a father? It's not like Jin Rou experienced it already. So how could he know?

"Little Sea doesn't need someone like me." Jin Rou shook his head, "You and your father are already more than enough to compensate for my disappearance."

"So you're planning to die in this generation?" Liline's fist crumpled into a fist. She hated this about Han Li, always ready to die.

"Who knows? But I'm going all out. Like really all out. Unlike the previous challenges." Jin Rou smiled wryly, "I'm also getting tired of this huge charade and want to end it once and for all."

"But you don't think you'll come back alive." Liline could understand what he meant.

Jin Rou smiled wryly. No matter what happened in this last challenge, Han Li was already dead and he couldn't do something about it.

"You're always selfish as ever." Liline sighed weakly, "You just want to find something for yourself. That endless versions of answers you're looking for might not be existing yet you're pursuing it."

"Everyone has a choice, Liline. Just like you, who chose Little Sea over your high power level. I choose myself." Jin Rou said.

"Little Sea will hate you." Liline knew her daughter well. And judging by the patterns of Little Sea, she would eventually hate him despite her great idolization of him right now.

"Hate is a good thing to fuel one's desires and goals." Jin Rou said. He didn't mind being hated by Han Li's daughter.

"Then I guess we have nothing more to talk about." Liline turned her back, "It's enough that you visited Little Sea. Go and pursue your answer somewhere in the central."

Jin Rou sighed and wanted to say something but he didn't know what to say. Eventually, he turned around too and left. It's better this way than to hurt them more by bidding his goodbye.

Liline looked back at where Jin Rou disappeared and a tear rolled down her eyes. She understood that Han Li was a dragon that couldn't be contained. She just felt bitter that even his own daughter couldn't make him stay.

"I wish you victory, my beloved." Then, she murmured under breath and walked away. The small villa also disappeared, no longer in view of the sea. It was time to depart, to get away and move forward once again. At the very least, she got the answer she was looking for.

"I didn't expect that you are such a playboy." Sylvianna got out and teased Jin Rou, "You are the same as those trash man looking for opportunities to get under the women's pants and run away."

"Watch your words." Jin Rou flicked her forehead and said, "I will appreciate it if you shut up."

Sylvianna looked angrily at Jin Rou while holding her forehead, "But that daughter of yours will surely try to look for your head in the future."

,m "How can you say so?" Jin Rou was confused.

"Duh, it's because it's your daughter." Sylvianna rolled her eyes, "Do you really think that she didn't inherit your genes aside from your bloodline? You're smarter than me so just connect the dots."

Jin Rou found this plausible. But unfortunately, his daughter would be looking for nothing.

"What do you say about her talents?" Jin Rou asked.

"Very talented. In fact, she is even more talented than me." Sylvianna admitted her inferiority to Little Sea, "But of course, the end result matters the most. If she can survive until the end, she will be a prominent character of this world."

"She will be more than that. Remember, she has my bloodline." Jin Rou chuckled, "Sooner or later, it will show up."

"And you're aware that those seeking blood for you might target your daughter." Sylvianna said. The time would come that many people would eventually know that Little Sea was his daughter.

And those old monsters with a grudge against him would surely look trouble for her.

"I have nothing to worry about. Not to mention her grandfather, even her mother is strong. Way stronger than her father." Jin Rou smirked. He was talking about Liline and Tian Era Emperor.

Hearing this, Sylvianna thought Jin Rou got a point. In any case, it would be a grand show once the world knew this truth.
