"At least, this girl is smart unlike you." Jin Rou mocked Brother Zou with a sneer on his face.

Brother Zou almost couldn't contain himself but eventually stopped by Mingyu, "Brother Zou, please listen to me. We have all the time to take revenge next time."

Mingyu was a very cautious person who wouldn't take risks unless it's necessary. She always calculate her loss and gains in her endeavors. She was taught to be smart and cunning in this cruel world, so it was no wonder she was almost being compared to the legendary fairies of the realm.

Brother Zou looked at Mingyu who had pleasing and puppy eyes and took a sigh. He sent a sharp look at Jin Rou and said, "You're lucky today. But next time, you won't be."

"Likewise." Jin Rou smirked, "I hope I don't see your annoying face once again or else you'll die."

Mingyu took another good look at Jin Rou and shook her head. She thought that just because the tree was protecting him, he already thought so highly of himself. This was the type that'd naturally face calamity in the future.

Jin Rou didn't mind what others thought about him and went back relaxing himself. He even closed his eyes to sleep here while a certain demon was waiting outside.

After the group disappeared, there was a long silence that lasted for two hours before Jin Rou breaking the ice, "Just how long are you planning on peeping on me? Come out. I know you're there."

There was no response. However, Jin Rou only smiled and looked at a certain direction with a smile on his face, "Should I pull you out there, then?"

"Incredible." Finally, the person hiding decided to speak. It was a melodic voice that could shy the angels and fairies. Her tone had the serenity and peace of the ages that everyone would seek for. Then, a figure appeared.

It was a woman. To be exact, a very beautiful woman that when compared to Mingyu, Mingyu couldn't fare better. Her beauty had the elegance of the royalty and more, it was world-toppling kind. Anyone who would see her would take more than three turns and looks, mesmerized.

But in Jin Rou's eyes, this type of beauty was common. After all, he had seen so many beautiful women already.

"I thought I need to pull you out to make you come out." Jin Rou chuckled and observed the other party.

"You are a peerless expert, incomparable to others. How can I not come out in front of your presence?" The beauty smiled. It felt like the start of the spring as cherry blossom leaves started to fall off from its tree.

"You have your way with your words." Jin Rou smiled, "Speak, what do you want? I know you've been watching me even before the group from that sect arrived."

The beauty's eyes widened a bit, but it was only for a very short moment. After which, she said, "It's nothing. I just found you, Peerless Master, very interesting."

"You keep calling me Peerless. Stop it, it's making me old." Jin Rou shook his head and laughed.

"What should I call you, then?" The beauty's smile remained on her face which was filled with expectations.

"Young Master should do." Jin Rou suggested. Of all honorifics, this was what suited him well.

The beauty was surprised this time. She thought that Jin Rou would ask her to call him anything that could make him above of her. Never did she expect that this young man only wanted to be called Young Master.

"Alright, Young Master." The beauty's voice was like a melodic song, comforting and would make you sleep.

"The ancestors of yours taught you well." Jin Rou couldn't help but praise this woman, "Truly above all the rest, unlike those brats from the divination sect who thought of themselves highly."

"You praise me too much." The beauty laughed softly and said, "By the way, I am called Louise, Young Master."

"Then I'll call you Little Lou." Jin Rou already decided a nickname for the woman. But the other party didn't mind it and accepted it gracefully.

Jin Rou and Louise looked at each other for a brief moment before the former speaking, "You are interested in the mysteries of this ancient tree."

Louise didn't expect to be found out so easily. She couldn't help but wryly smile, "Indeed, Young Master. I have been researching about this ancient tree for so long now, yet everytime I'm trying to solve its mysteries, it's denying me."

"There are mysteries that should be left unsolved or unheard for many cases." Jin Rou tried to explain, "And this ancient tree is denying you the chance because you are yet to be capable of bearing its mysteries. Wait until you become a immortal at the perfect level, you might have the chance to do so."

In truth, many old experts tried to understand this ancient tree in the past. However, no one was capable of it except Trueblue Immortal who solved 1/4 of the ancient tree's mysteries.

"It will the take a long time to become a Perfect Immortal." The beauty sighed, "Even achieving Quasi-Immortal will be hard."

"If you're talking about the current you, it will be really hard to step on the immortal realm." Jin Rou said, "But you cannot say it in the future. Your future will sure be brilliant and able to shine the world."

"You're right, Young Master." Louise nodded, "But how about you? Have you solved its mysteries, Young Master?"

"I'll leave it to your imagination." Jin Rou chuckled and stood up, "This place is getting boring. The tree needs to rest, so I have to go now."

Louise then asked, "Can I come with you? I'm very knowledgeable about this Divine Land and some part of Mortal Region, so I can be your guide."

If anyone knowing her heard this, they wouldn't dare to believe what they heard. After all, she had a high status and yet, she was only a guide for an unknown person?

"Sure, if that's not inconvenient for you." Jin Rou would naturally don't mind having a company here.
