In a courtyard of the Royal Castle, where not even the people of the castle could enter as long as they wished, Jin Rou was sitting in a beautiful chair made of glass. Opposite of him was an old man wearing a white robe, complementing his long white hair. He looked like an existence who experienced countless trials and tribulations but still survived until now.

The old man gracefully picked up the cup filled with a yellow tea, and slowly pulled it towards his mouth, the moves were so exquisite that even young girls would daze by this movement. Obviously, this old man was a very handsome man when he was still in his prime.

Seeing that the old man was enjoying the tea, Jin Rou also picked the cup filled with yellow tea in his front and sipped it.

The atmosphere between these two was so comforting, accompanied by the chirping of birds. Even Jin Rou was amazed. It seemed that this courtyard was made for peace.

After a short while, the old man put down his teacup on the table in a graceful manner and smiled, saying, "Sectmaster Jin, pardon me for taking a while. I just want to enjoy this tea without any disturbance."

"That, I don\'t mind at all." Jin Rou faintly smiled. He was speaking the truth. After all, the old man did not show any arrogance in front of him, the Celestial King. In fact, the old man\'s expression was filled with warmth. Jin Rou paused for a moment and asked, "May I know who is this distinguished elder?"

"Ahh... I forgot to introduce myself. Silly me, silly me. I am really getting old." The old man laughed as a flash of bitterness appeared in his eyes which caught by Jin Rou, "I am Gong Zangyu, the progenitor of this Royal Castle. You can call me Progenitor Gong if you want."

Jin Rou was a bit surprised. This old man was the progenitor of this Royal Castle? This was the first time that he met a progenitor level of existence in this mortal world. Jin Rou sized this old man again, and when he saw the withering vitality of this old man, he knew that Gong Zangyu was nearing his death. After returning back to his sense, he smiled and said, "Then Progenitor Gong, may I know why you called for me?"

"I just want to see what kind of being that brat Zao Dong has met. And by looking at you, he seems not mistaken about you. Even I could not gauge out your cultivation." Progenitor Gong bitterly laughed. When he and Zao Dong talked yesterday night, Zao Dong had told him a thing or two about Jin Rou. This made Progenitor curious and wanted to meet Jin Rou personally. If not for his withering vitality, he might personally come to LD sect.

At first, he really did not believe that there would be someone who could hide his cultivation in front of him. However, the reality was in front of him. So he could only accept it.

Although Progenitor Gong did not dare to claim to be the strongest in this world, knowing that there were a lot of hidden dragons and crouching tigers in this world, he was still confident of his strength, especially with his eyes of discerning someone.

Seeing that Jin Rou only smiled after what he said, he paid no mind and asked Jin Rou, "I wonder if Sectmaster Jin could determine my cultivation?"

A challenge?— Jin Rou thought. Since Progenitor Gong could not gauge his cultivation, he wanted to try regaining back his face this way?

Jin Rou chuckled and looked straight at Progenitor Gong. Soon, a flash appeared in his eyes and smiled, "I did not expect that Progenitor Gong has already reached the first stage of Immortal Realm."

Progenitor felt his body trembled. This young man in front of him had actually gauged out his cultivation. How was that possible? He only asked Jin Rou to regain his face from failing to determine the other party\'s cultivation. That\'s all. He did not expect that Jin Rou could actually do it.

Progenitor Gong now realized why he could not determine Jin Rou\'s strength. It seemed that Jin Rou\'s cultivation was stronger than him. And now, he was sure that this young man came from the higher world. However, why would such an existence like him descend to the mortal world?

Although Progenitor Gong could tell that Jin Rou was a good young man, he could not help but worry. And at the same time, he was curious about the background of him and his exact cultivation. However, this kind of questions was quite personal and should not be asked.

"You are so amazing, Sectmaster Jin." After regaining back his senses, Progenitor Gong praised him, "It seems that that brat Zao Dong has a good fortune meeting you."

He lowered his head for a bit and said in a low tone, "Please pardon this old bones of mine if I did annoy you in any way." This type of existence was someone Progenitor Gong could not afford to offend even he had the backing of his master. So he took the initiative to apologize. Although he was yet to clarify who this young man was, he was sure that he had a huge backing.

Of course, Jin Rou knew what this old man meant. He probably already assumed that he was an existence that he could not afford to offend so he did this. After all, the old man let him wait for a while to enjoy his tea, thinking it might incur his displeasure.

Jin Rou shook his head and faintly smiled, "No, you do nothing wrong."

Progenitor Gong opened his mouth to say something, however, he did not know how to say it.

"I know what you want to ask, so fret not, I have no plans of monopolizing this world." Jin Rou clarified himself.

Progenitor Gong heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this. It seemed like a burden disappearing in his heart. However, after a while, a white flash appeared in his eyes, realizing something. However, he shook his head, smiling bitterly. His expression was filled with worry.

Jin Rou, of course, noticed this. He immediately understood what this old man thought and asked, "Progenitor Gong wants my help, right?"

Progenitor Gong shook, surprised. He looked at Jin Rou with admiration and a bit of worship, "Sectmaster Jin, nothing can escape your eyes, I may say. That\'s right, I was planning to ask for your help. However, I brushed this off knowing I have no qualifications to ask for it."

"Royal King Zao Dong helped me in the past, so if I can help, I would like to." Jin Rou said. However, the real reason he wanted to help this old man was that he could see that Progenitor Gong has a white inner heart and strong willpower. This was something worthy of admiration. So he felt that this old man was worth helping.

"Your Excellency..." Progenitor Gong was shocked. Soon, his eyes were filled with gratefulness as he looked at Jin Rou. He even changed Sectmaster Jin to Your Excellency. He believed that this young man can help. However, it was not for him, but for his dear master.

"At the very least, I can help master before I die..." Progenitor Gong sighed and muttered under his breath. Soon, he began explaining the matters he needed help with.
