Dao Godly Light Palace was one of the biggest and strongest force that on par with Templar Clan. They could command the winds and rains to do their bidding, and tremble the world in fear. Of course, as people who pursue light, making the world tremble in fear was out of the question.

Not to mention that, Dao Godly Light Palace was founded by one of the three legendary figures, Lightsaber True God!

Take note, Lightsaber True God was one of the strongest existences back in his era. And it was said to be among the three, he was the undefeated one! Meaning, he hadn't tasted any defeat yet. In fact, there was also a record stating that he killed a progenitor at an eternal level by just being a heavenly saint!

And now, the Dao Godly Light Palace had learned his systems and foundations. One could already imagine the power of this force. Not to mention, they had three alive gods and four progenitors right now!

And just like the Templar Clan, the Dao Godly Light Palace itself had also its own small world where their headquarters was located at.

"So how about it?" Elder Zuwo was confident of his palace. Anyone would agree immediately. After all, they were talking about the Dao Godly Light Palace here, a terrifying force that had topped this world for millions of years now!

Xiu'er wanted to accept the invitation. This was once in a lifetime opportunity. Many would be willing to die to be in his position. However, the decision would still be on Jin Rou. That's why he didn't say anything.

"Elder Zuwo, we are grateful for your invitation." Jin Rou smiled and put the teacup down, "However, we have to decline."

Xiu'er couldn't help but look at Jin Rou as if telling him how dumb he was to decline this! Not to mention, Jin Rou also declined for him!

"!" Elder Zuwo was rendered speechless. This was the first time someone had actually turned down the palace's invitation. He immediately recomposed himself and asked, "But why? Do you find anything unsatisfactory?"

"No, Elder Zuwo." Jin Rou smiled and hurriedly denied it, "It's just that we are already affiliated with a force, so we really have to decline."

What affiliated with a force?! Xiu'er wanted to grab Jin Rou's hair and pull it hard in frustration.

Elder Zuwo still couldn't believe it. He tried to calm himself down and asked, "Can I know what force are you affiliated with?"

"Templar Clan it is, Elder Zuwo." Jin Rou answered.

"..." Elder Zuwo was speechless again for a moment and sighed, "I see, so the Templar Clan has gotten ahead of us."

Not recruiting these two was such a big blow for the future prospects of the palace. After all, these two were very talented that even the ancestors of the palace wanted Elder Zuwo to do anything to get them.

Too bad, though. The Templar Clan was the one who got the heads right now. If they try to snatch these two from them, the Templar Clan would surely use all their power to retrieve the two, even at the price of waging a war against them.

What would happen if the Dao Godly Light Palace and Templar Clan waged war against each other?

The two would suffer indescribable losses. And they might give those silent predators a piece of their pie.

And that's something they wouldn't let happen.

Perhaps, if it's another power like Burnfield Stone Sect, the palace would be willing to offend them and snatch Jin Rou and Xiu'er. Though their reputation might receive a huge blow, they would benefit in the long run. After all, the palace only cared about their future prospects. The pillars of the palace were already aging, Elder Zuwo included. Thus they needed to train fresh and talented seeds to grow into a capable and large tree.

"The Templar Clan is blessed by the heavens to have the two of you." Elder Zuwo smiled and said, "Then how about we become friends?"

Since Elder Zuwo couldn't get them, he might as well befriend them. After all, befriending future masters would benefit him and their palace greatly.

"Of course, there's no problem about that." Jin Rou smiled, "I am called Jin, and this little brother of mine is called Xiu'er."

"I see, so Daoist Friend Jin and Little Friend Xiu'er." Elder Zuwo looked at them amiably, like a grandfather looking at his grandsons, "Very well, I will go out for a minute to attend to a simple matter. You two friends just enjoy your tea. If you want something, you can call for my maid, she'll be stationed outside of this room so that it will be easy to communicate with her."

Elder Zuwo smiled and got off from his seat. Immediately, he left the room without further ado.

"What are you thinking?!" Finally, Xiu'er couldn't hold it in and said, "Affiliated with Templar Clan? My ass. You didn't even know their place! And you even declined the invitation for me. That's a legitimate Dao Godly Light Palace's invitation!"

"And?" Jin Rou took another sip of his tea.

"What and? I want to join them!" Xiu'er glared at Jin Rou, "I want to be powerful soon enough."

"What for?" Jin Rou asked, "To save your mother?"

"..." Xiu'er didn't answer. However, his expression gave Jin Rou the obvious answer.

"If you want to get your mother back soon, Dao Godly Light Palace will not be the best help. After all, they have limited resources." Jin Rou spoke in a mild tone.

"Dao Godly Light Palace stood at the peak of this world. No, they have an abundant amount of resources." Xiu'er retorted.

"Abundant yet limited." Jin Rou explained, "Not because something is abundant, it's already unlimited."

"..." Xiu'er found this argument logical and he had nothing to say about this.

"Besides, the palace will not be able to push out all of your potential even in the future. There's only one man who can do so." Saying this, Jin Rou smirked.
