Chapter 181 - Owner Bu's Regrets



"What can I do for you, Owner Bu?" Jin Rou asked as he followed to a private room filled with herbs and flowers. It seemed like the people around the lower worlds love this kind of room. It\'s pretty understandable. After all, a garden could give one a satisfying and comforting vibe.

Owner Bu invited him to have a coffee first before he gave the prize of winning the competition. And since Jin Rou had too much time, he won\'t mind. Besides, he had a good impression of this old man. Not to mention, this old man\'s whiteness in his inner heart was still more than the darkness. In fact, the darkness in his inner heart was just dots and whatnot.

"Ah please take a sit first, Little Friend." Owner Bu said as he gestured themselves to sit, which Jin Rou abided. After which, he asked, "What does this Little Friend like? I mean, what type of tea? I have a variety of teas here so just tell me what you like, I may have the tea."

"I drink any type of tea." Jin Rou smiled and answered.

"Is that so?" Owner Bu said as he smiled, "Then please wait for a moment."

After saying that, he flicked his finger and a set of teacups and kettle appeared. He poured yellow-colored tea leaves in the kettle and wait until the hot water absorbed it. After the leaves were absorbed, Owner Bu lifted the kettle in a graceful manner and poured some into Jin Rou\'s teacup before his. Every movement he did was very exquisite and refined as if he was a tea master also. The flow of the tea coming from the kettle made anyone sooth in comfort and silence their worried minds.

"Please have a taste of this Yellow-Serenity Tea Leaves I personally purchased in a tea master." Owner Bu smiled and said, "This type of tea leaves could not be found just anywhere and could not be purchased in any market even you try hard to search for one."

Jin Rou smiled back and took the teacup, putting it on his lips as he took a zip. After tasting it, he nodded and complimented, "Good tea."

"Right?" Owner Bu chuckled, "Anyways, I\'m sorry for boasting about my tea. It\'s just that I\'m a tea lover and even in my seclusion, I\'m drinking this."

"It\'s alright." Jin Rou answered, "I like tea also so it\'s my honor to taste such a tea in this world."

"Just like I thought, you\'re from the Outer Heaven." Owner Bu concluded. It was the term Grivexians used for higher worlds.

"..." Jin Rou did not know what to reply at that moment.

"Haha! No need to bother about what I said, Little Friend." Owner Bu said and sighed, "I have seen so much about this world that I am no longer interested here."

"Then why don\'t you ascend to the Outer Heaven?" Jin Rou asked.

"I already did." Owner Bu could not help but smile wryly, "But I just descended again due to offending someone I could not afford to offend."

"Someone you could not afford to offend, huh?" Jin Rou repeated what Owner Bu said and took a sip again from the teacup, "It seems it took you a great effort just to swallow that anger."

"Well, yes." Owner Bu answered honestly, "But what can I do? In the Outer Heaven, Immortal Emperors were just a bunch of ants there. Yes, we are invincible here, but in that kind of world out there, we are no match. Even I, who was tempered the very hard way and experienced countless trials and tribulations, and life and death situations, would not dare to claim I could survive there without the backing of someone more powerful than me."

"So do you still want to ascend?" Jin Rou asked.

"...." Owner Bu\'s mind blanked for a moment, but eventually said, "I\'m already nearing my death. Unless I breakthrough to another realm, my life won\'t be extended."

He paused for a moment and sighed, "But if I would be given a chance, I would love to. I secluded myself from this mundane world to clear out all the mundane feelings I had felt. But to think, I could still feel some. It\'s funny."

"You have unfinished business in the Outer Heaven." Jin Rou said as he looked straight to Owner Bu\'s eyes while sipping, "You still have a lingering regret, that\'s why you cannot erase your emotions. Unless you have it settled, you could not erase everything."

"...." Owner Bu\'s eyes widened as his body trembled, "How... how..."

"That\'s nothing." Jin Rou smiled and answered, "I also know that you want to talk to me to confirm if your hypothesis is right, and that\'s if I\'m from the higher world. And the moment you confirmed it, your heart jumped for a moment as if hope was born from the deeper part of your inner heart. Your inner heart is very strong, I may say. Even with the inner demons awakened deep inside of you, you never submitted to them."

"...." For the second time, Owner Bu was speechless for a moment. He just blankly stared at Jin Rou, without saying anything.

After calming himself down, he took a deep breath and said filled with admiration, "As I thought again, you are way stronger than me. My eyes have never fooled me even once."

"You can say it that way." Jin Rou smiled, "Of course, I\'m not belittling you or any Immortal Emperor of this world as they painstakingly strived their hardest just to reach that kind of strength, especially you, who had reached the peak of this world by experiencing deathly battles all around. Because of that, your inner heart was tempered and strong enough to forcefully push your inner demons down."

"You have my full awe for your great eyesight, Youngmaster." Owner Bu smiled genuinely and flicked his finger, a violet card appeared and put it on Jin Rou\'s front and said, "By the way, this is the prize of the appraisal competition, this card contains 2 million rubies and an Immortal Armament. Though the armament is useless to you, you can just give or sell it to someone and earn a large number of rubies. Mostly, this card is also a platinum card, which was a level higher than the golden card."
