"You will really leave me here?" Xiu'er was kind of reluctant to part ways with Jin Rou. The former decided to go to the location alone where the Templar Clan was calculated to be. Though they didn't have a deep bond with each other, Xiu'er had received help for most of the time and greatly benefitted from it.
"Yes, you need to stay here and study." Jin Rou smiled, "I informed your clan about this already so you don't have to worry about anything else. If they try to drop you out of this academy, just give me a message. I'll give you a communication talisman to send me a message directly."
Jin Rou wasn't worried about the feud between the True Dragon Clan and the Academy of Chaos. After all, he already warned those in the clan not to do anything funny. If they were to, Jin Rou would personally take action. And if he took an action, that wouldn't be just simple at the very least.
But Jin Rou knew that the clan would follow his bidding. After all, he still had Xiu'er in a sense, a seed they wanted to nurture for their future prospects. They had no choice but to follow his rules if they wanted Xiu'er to be on their side.
"But I want to go with you..." Xiu'er had mustered enough courage to say those words. He was a bit prideful and arrogant because of his bloodline, so saying these words was a bit hard to spit out.
"We may still have another chance in the future." Jin Rou smiled, "If fate permits it, we will surely meet one day. And who knows? When that day comes,probably you're already strong enough to topple the worlds."
Jin Rou was serious about this comment. Xiu'er had the best bloodline of the true dragons and would surely become a lord of things in the near future. All he needed was time to grow.
In fact, Jin Rou could see the child becoming one of the legendary celestial generals of their palace.
Jin Rou shook his head to remove the useless thoughts. He patted the child's shoulder and said, "Become strong. When you are strong, become stronger. When you are stronger, become the strongest. The dao is arduous and long. Those who seek the path of true dao shall be either the stronger or the strongest."
Xiu'er was surprised to hear these defying words. Then, he suddenly became enlightened and felt that he was about to reach a breakthrough in his cultivation.
"Use those words when you feel like you are stuck in a bottleneck. It might not be enough to break from it, but it can help you overcome it by using other methods together with it." Jin Rou said. This line was one of the most treasured dao thoughts of their family and he just gave it wantonly to a child he barely knew.
Take note, those words cost hundred millions to billions of dao coins!
It showed how greatly Jin Rou valued the child's potential.
"I already am taking too long." Jin Rou spoke once again after a brief pause, "I'm leaving, so please take care."
In actuality, Jin Rou also didn't want to part ways with Xiu'er either. After all, he was greatly entertained and attached to the child. But the situation spoke urgency that he must attend as soon as possible. The devils were looming above their clouds. He needed to take action faster.
Jin Rou didn't want to see the sad face of Xiu'er so he disappeared without a trace. He knew that in time, they would meet once again.
"..." Seeing that Jin Rou disappeared, Xiu'er couldn't help but feel warm tears on his eyes, but he rubbed them and stopped his tears. He promised himself that he would get stronger so that they meet once again.
"!!!" Then, Xiu'er looked at the talisman Jin Rou had given to him, there, two words were written with a Jin Rou and 'CK' abbreviation. Right this instant, he finally understood how could the other party accomplish such feats.
"His Majesty..." Xiu'er was thrilled and excited. Now, it was more of a reason to become stronger and his goal was to become stronger and ascend to the celestial realm and meet the celestial king himself once again.
The child had also firmly believed that one day, they would meet once again. And perhaps, that day, he would be able to give back the help he received.

In a large and desolate plateau a thousand kilometers away from the academy, a man was standing there, feeling the sky and wind.
His long black hair danced with the wind and become one with the dao. Dao runes appeared out of nowhere, dancing with him together.
It was Jin Rou, who was waiting for the Templar Clan here.
There were still several hours left before their arrival, but Jin Rou was already here because he didn't want to miss them if he dilly dally.
He studied the surroundings and felt the hidden waves within. The place was desolate for more than millions of years now, so it was not habitable. Not to mention, the oxygen here was very thin that even Jin Rou was affected.
But the good thing about this was it was a good hiding place, a location that was perfectly fit for a lowkey arrival of a bigshot
Besides, with how abundant the resources of the clan, they would surely survive this land for years to come. Of course, he knew that the clan would switch locations immediately after this.
Jin Rou walked on the plateau for almost an hour only to pass the time. He wanted to meditate and relax for long but the thin air here was stopping him from doing it.
Just when he was getting bored of the things here in this place. Suddenly, he felt an existence that came into his vicinity of senses.
Jin Rou looked at the direction and saw a world-toppling beauty that could easily destroy worlds.
A lady was walking down by the air like it had invisible stairs, with eyes looking back at Jin Rou.
