The Adventures Of The Young Master

"Young Master Ku, can you tell us who's this Revered Master beside you?" The Revenant Sect Master was also a bit threatened by the unexpected show of strength of this ordinary-looking young man beside Ku Ming. His eyes squinted as if he was trying to remember if there was such an expert like him, thinking that perhaps he might have met this man already. However, no matter how many times he racks his brain, he seemed to bear no results at all. So dejected, he just asked the person acquainted with him, Ku Ming, like they had no enmity towards each other at all.

Hearing this question, Ku Ming could not help but sneer and answered, "Oh? What's the sudden attitude, Revenant Sect Master? Just a while ago, you are acting high and mighty but when you have seen one of your elders getting crippled to the point you don't even know whether he's dead or alive, you are actually toning down your voice to inquire me?" Saying this, he laughed a bit, filled with disdain and anger.

Although relying on Jin Rou's power was a bit shameless and a blow to his dignity, how could he think of such things when the other party was worse than animals in his eyes? After all, the trade should have been successful if not for the selfish reasons of the three high elders. The Thousand-Life Lotus is their First Ming Ancestor's ticket in order to prolong his lifespan and probably reach the next cultivation realm to vastly extend his life.

High Elder Kiru was bursting in anger and was about to lash out to Ku Ming without thinking of any consequences when the Revenant Sect Master waved his hand, gesturing the high elder to remain his mouth shut.

"Young Master Ku, perhaps we just have a little misunderstanding here. So I would like to express my apology on behalf of my subordinates." The Revenant Sect Master took a deep breath and smiled amiably, "Although they have indeed offended you and probably made things difficult for you, they are just thinking for the sake of our sect, Revenant Heavenly Sect."

"Oh? In what way did your high elders think for the sake of your sect? Ku Ming sneered, "Can you please enlighten this Young Master?"

The tone was very arrogant. And it made the high elders who were already infuriated that they almost puked blood, became more enraged as their eyes became bloodshot. They were glaring at Ku Ming as if he was some prey they wanted to tear into thousand pieces!

Of course, the Revenant Sect Master also revealed slight displeasure for a single second before retracting it, returning to an amiable smile once again.

"Since Young Master Ku wants to know, then I will answer." The Revenant Sect Master smiled and said, "Although the Phixiu ring is indeed one of the artifacts of the Outer World, it's still paling in comparison with the Thousand-Life Lotus. Our lotus could extend one's dying lifespan into a thousand years of living, assuming no accidents happened. However, what about your Phixiu ring? Although it might save a life, with its long-time recharge after using, that would be pretty useless for years. Just because of this fact, the ring of your Ancient Ming Clan could not be compared its worth to our lotus. Young Master Ku, we are talking about life here. So whether the Phixiu ring has also the title of a legendary artifact, it is not enough for us to accept such trade which we will only receive the short end."

And after saying those, he looked at Jin Rou who was silently listening to them and said, "And I believe, with this master's power and knowledge, you can appraise whether I'm speaking right or wrong."

Now that Ku Ming's rationality had returned, he could now think properly again and considered these words. After pondering for a moment, he realized that the Revenant Sect Master has a point indeed. Although the two were legend-grade artifacts, just by weighing them with their respective worth, the Thousand-Life Lotus was really more valuable than the Phixiu ring. Not to mention, the lotus could give additional life for a dying cultivator. This was a high-grade treasure of the sect since they only have a limited number of lotus. So how could they trade it with an item with a lower worth than itself?

"I admit, you have a point there, Revenant Sect Master." Ku Ming harrumphed and said, "But although you have indeed the reason for that, can you explain why these high elders were speaking as if they held a grudge against a junior like me? Just a while ago, they are seeing me as if I was their great nemesis and wanted to chop me into a thousand pieces. Their tone was very provoking as if they were doing it intentionally. Don't get me wrong, Revenant Sect Master, for before we even begin the trade, I felt a sudden killing intent from one of them that aimed towards me. This, I think you also felt it, right Young Master Jin?"

Knowing that he has been put onto the stage again, Jin Rou helplessly replied, "Indeed, there's a slight moment that someone from the high elders released his killing intent."

Factly speaking, even if Jin Rou did not answer, the Revenant Sect Master was very much aware of this as this was truer than true. But he shot a glance to the high elder who released it and he quickly retracted it. But who would have thought that these two people could still feel it? He could understand if Jin Rou could since he believed that Jin Rou had the power of an Immortal Emperor. But for Ku Ming? Although it was directedly aimed at him, for a quarter of a second release and retract of killing intent, how could he have felt it?

"This... Young Master Ku, I even don't know that someone from my people released a killing intent, so I apologize." The Revenant Sect Master shamelessly feigned ignorance to reduce the blow and said, "However, if that was indeed the case, as my high elders were getting older, they are also getting grumpier than ever. So maybe that intent was not intentionally directed at you since I believe that you have no enmity with any one of my people in the sect. So please just treat it like a passing wind."

He carefully chose his words to give some other meaning in his statement.
