The Adventures Of The Young Master Chapter 28

"You are complaining?" Old Mo looked displeased as he added, "Then my young master will close your veins again."
"That's impossible." The prince denied, "Once the vein was opened, it was impossible to close it."
Everyone agreed to this. What Old Mo said was purely ridiculous! No one in their right mind would think that a vein opened could actually be closed again!
Hearing the claim that it was impossible, Jin Rou said and denied this, "I can close your veins again. In fact, I can close all of them if you wanted a proof."
Hearing this, the prince immediately paled. It seemed this was really possible! Although this was way too ridiculous in a sense, there was still a fact that the mysterious young man claimed it was possible! What's worse, he would be the guinea pig to prove it!
This claim from the young man brought a heavy sense that they could not explain. As if, if he said it was possible, then it was definitely possible! Everyone gulped a mouthful of their saliva and didn't dare to refute this claim.
"No.. No need." the prince immediately shook his head. Of course, he didn't want to be a guinea pig for just making a proof of claim! His heart was bleeding as he said, "Okay. I will pay the three million and a hundred thousand diamonds."
He added, "But I cannot give that kind of amount today. I can only settle the bill in my empire."
The crowd was stupefied by this. He really accepted the conditions of amount! However, they realized that they were talking about the crowned prince of the Gu Empire! By his standing, taking out that kind of amount was not a big deal!
"What do you mean?" Old Mo frowned, "You want us to accompany you to your empire to settle the bill? What if you are plotting against my young master? You think I will let it go and spare your empire?!"

Old Mo said in a threatening voice! However, the crowd didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Although they knew that it was Old Mo of the master chef guild, they also heard the recent happening. The master chef guild claimed that Old Mo betrayed the guild and went with someone who could benefit him greatly. Of course, those who really knew the actual fact denied this in their hearts. But those who don't know the fact, they were amazed because following someone from a high empire would really benefit him greatly! No wonder he chose the young man instead of the guild. This was not selfishness, this was practicality!
The prince's lips twitched involuntarily.
You are only a Nascent Realm cultivator and you dare threaten me and my empire?! If not for you being a butler of that young master, I would have already turned you into a meatpaste!
He suppressed his anger and said in a low tone, "Senior Mo could rest assured that I will never renege and completely settle the bill in my empire. I bet my name as the crowned prince on the line. "
Seeing this grave promise that his name was on the line, everyone sucked a mouthful of air. This was the crowned prince for you!
Of course, Old Mo knew that what the prince did carried a very heavy meaning to it. He nooded in approval and looked at his young master. He was asking for approval about this. After all, he was only a Butler and the decisions were to be decided by his young master.
Jin Rou only smiled in response. But Old Mo already knew what he meant! Old Mo then looked back to the prince and said, "Okay. Then we will carry trust your words for once."
Everyone who saw this felt their worlds spinning! To act this way in front of a crowned prince of a high-tier empire and demand a three million diamonds and was politely agreed with? This was meant that he had a powerful backing! And of course, they already k2ne who it was.

The prince smiled mischievously. It was like he was delighted by this! This caught Jin Rou's attention and looked through the prince's mind. However, seeing what was on his mind, Jin Rou could not help but be puzzled. And thus, he disregarded the thought and just smiled.
"We could set off anytime right now." the Prince said hastily.
"We can't." Old Mo declined, "Young master Jin wanted first to go to the Tyy Empire to watch a grand event."
"Oh?" Yuan Gu mused, "Senior Jin wants to watch the competition about painting?"
"Senior?" Jin Rou twitched. He remembered something he didn't want to remember! He added, "Just call me Jin."
Seeing the awkward expression of Jin Rou, Yuan Gu smiled and said, "Then I will be taking your offer."
Yuan Gu looked again to Old Mo, "Senior Mo, I could accompany you two to the Tyy Empire since it was coincidentally my route before going back."
"Oh. Okay." Jin Rou casually said.
Since Jin Rou gave the permission, Old Mo had to put up with this even he was still displeased by this prince.
Of course, Yuan Gu noticed this, but didn't mind it. He thought of something suddenly and asked Jin Rou, "What are you doing here in the emperor's town?"
"We are going to the tamer guild in order to rent some mounts to travel to the Tyy Empire since it was far from here." Jin Rou answered.
"Oh, that's all?" Yuan Gu chuckled, "I have a mount that could take us to the Tyy Empire in few days."
"Then that's great! We—" Old Mo wanted to talk more but was interrupted by Jin Rou, "We won't be riding your mount. I want a mount from the tamer guild."
Hearing this, Old Mo and the prince was stupefied.
We already have a mount to use, why insisting to go to the tamer guild?
The two thought deep but to no avail. They could not actually understand why this young master doesn't want this convenient thing! Maybe for no reason at all?
Of course, Jin Rou had a reason! If he was to take the offer, he would be indebted and the money he would get will be deducted! And this was precisely what the prince had thought! Jin Rou would not let him get his way! Jin Rou didn't know how big the three million diamonds was but it was definitely something big! And so he was determined to get the money whole. Because he learned from Old Mo that money could buy anything as long as available! Jin Rou had not yet experienced this so he will not let it slip away!
"Well, if young master wants." Old Mo could only agree. Since Jin Rou says so, he could only obey.
---
Inside the palace of the Emperor in the Emperor's Town, the emperor himself got up from his throne and his sleepy mood was removed! He said in a full of disbelief, "The crowned prince of the Gu Empire is here?!"

Nowhere Stars
For as long as anyone can remember, humans have been preyed upon by Harbingers, living nightmares which devour dreams and passions and souls, and defended by Keepers. These children alone hold the gift of magic, the wild and wondrous ability to impose emotions over reality and empower their frail bodies with the splendor of their souls. Under their protection, humanity was able to survive and thrive. While modern Keepers have come to enjoy a social position somewhere between celebrities and religious idols, very few accept the mantle simply to be a hero. The Messengers of the Goddess Claiasya, spirits charged with awakening the magic in suitable souls, promise that Keepers who consume and purify enough Harbingers will obtain the power to change themselves or the world in nearly any way they wish. It’s for this purpose that Liadain Shiel, a young girl born terminally ill, throws herself into life as a Keeper when her opportunity comes, hoping against hope to rewrite her fate and save her life while she still can. But magic wants its wielders to grow and change, not simply continue living, and the secrets swimming beneath the sea and behind the sky have lives and designs of their own. Nowhere Stars is an ongoing fantasy-horror web novel about traumacore magical girls, nightmares clothed in ribbons and lace, alienation from reality, and broken children twisting the world into whatever shape they must to make their dreams come true. This is a mirror of Nowhere Stars' home site, located here. Updates will be posted at the same time, currently once a week on Wednesdays. Support Nowhere Stars on Top Web Fiction here!

Candor: The Forgotten House
*** Please read note below *** As a 16-year-old mage from a powerful family, Jayce Candor had known from a young age what his future would hold. As the fourth son in his family the possibility of him becoming the heir to the household was very small. But, with his talent as a mage, his potential accomplishments in the military could lead to titles of nobility and political power. However, on what would otherwise be an unremarkable night, everything he had ever known, the only people he ever cared for, and all of the plans for his future were destroyed. House Candor, one of the six great houses that helped build the Eldoran Empire had been erased from history. By imperial decree, all those bearing the name Candor were hunted down and executed as traitors of the Empire. With no home, no family, and only death waiting for him, Jayce decided to escape north to the uncharted Northern Territories to begin a new life. Forced into situations he was never prepared for and trying to cope with his past, Jayce tries to find safety in a place spoken about only in legends. There for the first time, he will make true friends and find people he will come to see as family. He will encounter strong enemies, build powerful alliances, and become a person his ancestors would be proud of. But surrounded by creatures he thought only existed in tales and pressed by the Empire’s constant expansion, Jayce’s safety may be only an illusion. To survive a world fraught with danger Jayce will need to grow stronger with each new experience and rebuild his once forgotten house. ********************************************************************** Note: The story starts slow. Although there is more action as the story progresses, there is a fair amount of introspection and character introduction in the first 30 chapters. Jayce is the main character, however, other characters play a large role and the story is seen through multiple POV's. This is a draft, it is not a finished work. This is not a story that focuses on an OP MC who beats up on weaklings. At times there can be a fair amount of internal monologue. Some of that may be edited out when I rewrite the story. I decided to keep it in the draft because I think it is better to have too much material rather than too little when I edit. Constructive criticism is appreciated as it helps in the editing and rewriting process. Check out my other story Shattered Mind here

So What If I'm Trash? Who Needs Cultivation?!
Qing Shan Long. They say he isn't human. An escaped experiment from some government facility, a reincarnation of a saint, a freakish superhuman. Whatever he was one thing was clear. Be it Music, Martial Arts, Science, whatever he does he excels. He was a whimsical man. A great man. A man who craving for knowledge and excitement knows no bounds, whose collection of books and personal library would even make Alexander the Great green with envy. He donated to all manners of charities and funded many projects for helping the poor and disabled. A self made man who single handedly founded one of the largest corporations in the world, Wen Qu Technologies, whose influences reach from vast fields of expertise. From objects of war such as the newest aircrafts, droids, and body armor; to life saving medicine and vaccines; to even the mundane such as video games and the fast food industry. A legendary example of determination and hard work. He was in his car being driven to a business meeting to disclose a deal that would help ensure the country could have access to clean energy and help reduce the pollution that has been plaguing his homeland for the past millenia when he was assassinated and woke up in a strange new world. How will Qing Shan deal with his new environment where the strong suppresses the weak? From the top of the world he suddenly finds himself free falling to rock bottom. Unable to cultivate, a weak body, and all but disowned by his family. (For those who read comics and watch cartoons, imagine him as being Tony Stark, Richard Reeds, Jimmy Neutron, etc level of 'Genius'. ) My own spin on some familar tropes. Another reincarnation into another world story. The MC will take over the body of someone with a trash body that can't cultivate and will be hated and neglected by his family. Pretty typical so far right? Except there won't be some amazing miracle to heal our MC, there isn't some magical grandpa to teach him some OP thing which only his trash body can use, there isn't a hidden op bloodline, and he is not from a super amazing assassin clan or genius doctor. He isn't the chosen one, he's just a guy trying his best to make something with a crap situation. First attempt at a wuxia type story! I like playing with common tropes, maybe adding a twist, to playing it straight as a classic. I have absolutely no idea where this is going to take me but please do give your input and I'll do my best so that everyone has a say in where our journey will go. I'll admit the only knowledge I have of chinese history and ancient society is from reading light novels translated to english and some old dramas, so if I make some social passe just take it as because this is another world, not exactly an AU where magic and stuff actually exist. I'm also not actually Chinese and will basically using google to help me with names and other such, if I make a mistake please let me know! (Even if you don't like the story or couldn't bare to get past chapter 1 please leave a comment so I can find out where to improve, thank you!)
