Born with gold spoon in his mouth, Bale was arrogant and could do whatever he wished. He was known for being a troublemaker and a playboy with many women by his side.

This was natural. With his handsomeness, many women would die to even at least sleep with him. But despite all of this, he only wanted one woman.

And that was Princess Chinu. He had fallen for her ever since they first met during a banquet. Her unique beauty immediately captured his heart and wanted to court her. Unfortunately, the lady didn\'t seem interested in him and ignored his advances. Nevertheless, he never stopped trying to get into her heart. He even made an oath that if ever the princess were to be with him, he would stop all his games with other women.

And now, seeing the woman he loved serving a normal man like a maid, it infuriated him. That thing should only be done to him, no one else. His fire of extreme jealousy ignited and planned to ruin this man in worst possible way.

​ Being the sole heir of Nightwater Kingdom, he had the qualifications to do so. After all, he had done this so many times in the past.

"Young Master Bale, this is my master. I won\'t allow any disrespect towards him." Princess Chinu\'s voice turned cold. It was obvious that Bale was here looking for trouble. She wasn\'t worried about Jin Rou, she was worried about Bale who had a high chance of dying.

Though Nightwater Kingdom was a very strong lineage stronger than Firm Sword, they couldn\'t still possibly afford to offend Jin Rou.

"Oh, your master?" Bale\'s voice was filled with sarcasm, "With his little cultivation, how can that be? Please don\'t joke around, My Princess. Are you perhaps doing this to make me jealous?"

"Please leave, Young Master Bale." Chinu was getting irritated. She was only talking nice because they had a diplomatic relationship with Nightwater. She couldn\'t let it sour because of her personal emotions.

"I cannot leave unless you leave him, My Princess." Bale wouldn\'t back down. His jealousy had clouded his reasoning already. All he wanted was to kill this man right now.

"A dog that can bark but cannot bite." Finally, Jin Rou said something now. He was disturbed during his leisure time over and over. If he still ignored him, he would appear weak, "Your kingdom has only been established because Sword Emperor Firm helped your ancestor. Do you really think your lineage is amazing to act this stupid?"

"I dare you to say that again." Bale\'s face darkened. Being called stupid was below his bottom line.

"I said leave, Young Master Bale. I am busy attending my master so please leave this grounds at once." Chinu was now demanding him to leave. Since proper talk couldn\'t fix it, she\'d rather force him to leave. It\'s better than dying here.

But Bale ignored her and glared at Jin Rou, "Why don\'t you face me instead of hiding behind a woman\'s back?"

"Kid, your ancestor will slap you back and forth if he sees you acting like a clown here." Jin Rou smirked, "I will spare you this time around. Go, don\'t you dare lay your face in front of me again."

Jin Rou could see that Bale was nurtured meticulously to become the fourth sword emperor in the future. The preparations were already done and the only thing to do was to pave the way of his path.

Bale was about to lash out when someone whispered to him something. His eyes widened and looked at Jin Rou with hatred before leaving with a snort.

"Thank you for showing mercy, Young Master." Chinu bowed. She already expected the worst. Fortunately, he decided to spare his life.

"That kid is obnoxious and arrogant. But he has the capital to do so. He has inherited the bloodline of Nightgale fully. Unless there\'s something bad happens, he will be an eternal." Jin Rou said.

Chinu gasped in surprise. It was such a high praise! Note that Jin Rou usually see things and people as low quality. But he praised the man who just offended him. He even said that Bale could be an eternal!

Just how many were qualified to be given such a high evaluation? Perhaps only a very few.

"Your talents are not to be underestimated, too." Jin Rou added, "In terms of talent and efficiency, Bale is superior to you. But in terms of tactics and intelligence, you are, by far, several levels above."

Chinu smiled wryly. She didn\'t know whether to laugh or cry. It sounded like a praise and insult at the same time.

"Unfortunately, I am still incapable. Cannot meet the ancestor\'s standards." Chinu sighed. Lately, she was having trouble with cultivation and she didn\'t know what to do.

"That\'s because you are focused to meet the expectations. When you focus in expectations, the greater the pressure is. The dao heart is infinite and unshakeable. Start with that, first." Jin Rou said before closing his eyes. There was still a little time left before the plateau emerged.

"The dao heart is infinite and unshakeable..." Chinu repeated this over a thousand times in a murmur tone. Soon, she felt enlightened and immediately cultivated the discovery in her life.

After a little while, the ground shook. Many looked at the sky with anticipation and excitement. This rumble was very familiar to the ancient people around.

Then slowly, a large rock plateau appeared out of the blue sky. It was so big that it covered the entire sky. Everyone gasped, it became bigger than the previous emergence.

Jin Rou opened his eyes and looked at the plateau. Even this mysterious land couldn\'t hide a secret from Jin Rou, "I see. So that\'s the case."

He had been wondering the unusual movements of the plateau. Only a few noticed it. There was another reason to take a trip towards Soaring.

Jin Rou set up a barrier to protect Chinu. It would only disappear after the person inside became awake. He took a deep breath and flew towards the sky without hesitation. If he needed to kill, he\'d do it without further ado.
