Feng Li. If anyone in this world heard this name, they would surely be awe in respect and fear. After all, he was the strongest universal law in the past! Not only he was Jin Rou's old master, he was also a capable being who made the other universal laws wary with him.
His death smelled like a great conspiracy. Many thought that it was the result of power struggle as many wanted to take Feng Li's inheritance, laws included.
The ancestor was wondering if Jin Rou's arrival here was because of he wanted to know the truth behind his master's death. Feng Li was still healthy and filled with vigor, so it was weird that he suddenly passed away. Perhaps, Feng Li said something to Jin Rou and he wanted to know it.
"But I'm very sure. Those old bastards will make a move." The ancestor took a deep breath. The waters of Fate was going to be disturbing once again and no one could stop it.
The middle-aged man sensed the urgency of the matter and personally departed. How could he entrust this task to someone? He needed to get Jin Rou as soon as possible.

"Who are you?" Mrs. Lei didn't remember Jin Rou no matter how much she tried to remember, "I'm very sure this is the first time we have met."
Although she was saved, who knows what the other party planned to do to her? She used not to trust people anymore as she suffered so many betrayals already.
They were currently in an unknown forest. Jin Rou didn't know this place either but he knew it was the safest place. He looked at him and sighed, "You can be rest assured that I will not hurt you."
"How can I believe you, someone I don't even personally know?" Mrs. Lei sneered. She was clearly not buying it, "Are you sent by my family to kill me? Alright, go on then. But please don't hurt my son."
Jin Rou looked puzzled at Mrs. Lei's words. Did he look like he was going to kill her? "I told you, I'm not here to hurt you or your son. I merely saved you because of an impulse."
Mrs. Lei looked at Jin Rou's eyes, trying to find faults in it. Because of betrayals, she learned how to study other people if they were lying or not. And so far, Mrs. Lei could see that Jin Rou was telling the truth. Or at the very least, it was what she could see.
Upon taking a closer look, Mrs. Lei was very beautiful if not for crazed hair that seemed to have been stormed and her dirty clothes. She clearly had similar features with her mother.
"They will go after my son. They will surely do. I have to go back." Mrs. Lei suddenly remembered his son was still exposed. For sure, in order to find her they would use her son. Those bastards wouldn't even hesitate to hurt them if that would give them advantage and satisfaction.
"Your son is safe. You don't have to worry." Jin Rou had already prepared for this. He already thought of this and arranged the son to be hidden well.
"How will you even know he is my son?" If Jin Rou's words were true, he couldn't possibly knew her son hence her question.
"Your son is within the spectators. Of all people there, he is the only one who almost cried. Furthermore, he has a very similar features from you. It's easy to deduce that he is the son you're talking about." Jin Rou explained. He was always meticulous with the plans he created. He wouldn't let anyone find fault in it.
"Where is he?" Now, Mrs. Lei believed Jin Rou and asked.
Jin Rou smiled and he flicked his fingers. Soon, the space tore and a little boy appeared. He was currently sleeping and must be having a good dream.
"Xiao'er!" Mrs. Lei immediately propped her sleeping son as her gaze became warmth. She almost lost herself and left her dear son surviving in this cruel world. Fortunately, Jin Rou came to save the day. She felt very sorry for what she almost done and promised not to do it again.
"Don't worry. He's just sleeping soundly." Jin Rou smiled and said, "I put him into sleep because I can sense that he's very unstable nowadays. If this continues, it will be a hindrance towards his path to cultivation."
Xiao Lei was a 9 years old boy. Although they were experiencing poverty, they were living their lives peacefully. However, everything changed when his Big Brother had offended someone from the Newgate Royal Family.
The king immediately sentenced the Big Brother to death without thinking of the bigger situation. Even though the king himself knew that it was the fault of one of his sons, how could he punish them? The king was known to love and spoil his sons rotten.
The Big Brother was supposed to be the pride of their family as he was one of the best troop the royal family had, the Royal King Legion. They held a high position and commanded awe and respect from the masses. However, being in the best troop still didn't save him from death.
Jin Rou creased his brows upon hearing the story. The king was cruel and deserved a punishment. How could this king be dubbed as the best king who managed to get peace for this kingdom for many years?
"So you want to seek justice by creating manyak explosion charms plastered on your body and threaten them?" Jin Rou sighed, "That's plain stupid. You know that it won't work yet you still stupidly went on with your plan."
Mrs. Lei bit her lip. It was insulting but the man had a point. She knew herself that it wouldn't work, yet she still proceeded to commit suicide. If it's not plain stupidity, what was?
Jin Rou rubbed his temples and asked, "What are you going to do now? You cannot go back to that place or you will be hunted. Moreover, you will put your son in danger there too."
"I don't know." Mrs. Lei truly didn't know as she gazed down, "We have nowhere to go and I don't know anyone who can ask for help. The Lei Clan has already disowned us and spreaded it to the world.. It will be hard for us to have a decent footing in any land."
