"Buzz!" It didn\'t take long for Jin Rou to get out of the ruins. He had already gotten what he needed there and it\'s time to depart. He had no ties with the memories here to begin with so there\'s no need to mull over them.

Then, after getting out he saw a new person. Judging by the aura the other person was emitting, he was a powerful cultivator at the Martial King level.

In this world, the cultivation rankings were as follows; Mortal, Essence Body, Nascent Realm, Martial King, Martial Emperor, and lastly, Imperial Lords and Dao Monarchs.

The last two realms had different paths separated to each other so the cultivator could choose from.

Jin Rou observed the new arrival to see if he bear malicious intentions of coming here. Fortunately, the other party seemed to have a different agenda in coming here.

"Hello, Young Master. I am Headmaster Lanx of this academy. Nice to meet you." After Jin Rou got out of the ruins, Headmaster Lanx immediately went over to greet Jin Rou, "I am pleased to meet you."

Usually, the headmaster didn\'t do such gestures since he had a high position. However, when he looked at Jin Rou, he couldn\'t help but feel so small as if he was a mere ant in front of him. Thus, he had no choice but to do this.

Jin Rou smiled and said, "Hello, my name js Jin Rou."

In actual fact, Jin Rou wanted to use Han Li\'s name. However, knowing that Han Li was very popular and they might connect the dots easily, he refrained from doing so. So he used his real name instead.

Furthermore, Han Li\'s appearance was different from the records so it was hard to tell that it was him.

"I am very much amazed about your wonderful exploits in our academy. I\'d like to invite you over for a tea. Will that be possible?" The headmaster spoke with all smiles, "Of course, you can bring Goldenchild with you or whoever."

"If that teacher will become my temporary personal maid, I wouldn\'t mind." Jin Rou didn\'t forget to tease the woman while having a smirk, "How about it?"

Hearing this, Teacher Fairy almost spat blood from anger. This lad was still picking on her though she was just standing there silently. Veins in her fists were bulging and it could smack Jin Rou anytime now.

However, Headmaster Lanx immediately said, "Of course! It will be Teacher Fairy\'s pleasure to serve you Young Master Jin. Please rest assure that the fairy can do her daily roles as your personal maid."

This made the fairy speechless. Did the headmaster just sell her off to Jin Rou? Although basically speaking, the headmaster could call the shots, Teacher Fairy was fairly stronger than him so why was he selling her off? Nevertheless, she couldn\'t say it. After all, it\'s still the headmaster despite feeling so wronged.

Upon seeing her expression, Headmaster Lanx sent a spiritual message to her and said, "The ancestor just gave me a message to keep this suspicious person by our eyes so I have to do everything to succeed that. Please understand me, Fairy."

Teacher Fairy suddenly realized the headmaster\'s actions and it was truly understandable. After all, it was a message that came from the ancestor thus they had no choice but to move according to his will.

"Indeed, I am willing to be your maid for the meantime if you have a tea over with the Headmaster Lanx." Teacher Fairy finally said it though reluctant.

Jin Rou chuckled and said, "Very well, let\'s go to your place Headmaster Lanx."

In the Headmaster\'s Office located in the highest part of the Dao Sword Academy. Teacher Fairy was boiling the tea leaves for a moment. Her control over fire was so elegant and powerful as if the element was her friend.

After which, the boiled tea leaves were ready and she picked up the kettle and pour tea to the respective teacups of Jin Rou and the headmaster. Goldenchild wasn\'t here as he said that he\'d be waiting outside instead.

Jin Rou took the teacup and smelled it, "Great aroma."

And after that, he took a sip and smiled, "Good tea."

"This tea is called Yellow Fire Tea. It is creating yellow fire on top of it, as you can see. This tea is good for people who have deep internal wounds." Headmaster Lanx introduced the tea with pride.

It was the most prized tea leaves of the headmaster and he usually didn\'t use it unless it was necessary. After all, getting these tea leaves was harder than cultivating into Martial Emperor realm!

Jin Rou took a sip again and asked, "So why did the Headmaster want to talk about that you even have to use these precious tea leaves?"

"Ah, Young Master Jin was so direct." Headmaster Lanx laughed softly, "I just want to have a casual chat with you since you are very extraordinary. You manage to bypass the sacred ground and even entered the old ruins with grand killing formation. Anyone will be alerted if they have such a person, right?"

Headmaster Lanx was right. It was abnormal to such extent that they couldn\'t believe it. Remember, even Dao Monarchs didn\'t dare to venture inside the old ruins afraid that they might trigger the formation. After all, many unlucky greedy ones had died here already.

"Indeed, you have a point, Headmaster Lanx." Jin Rou nodded as he continued on sipping his tea, "It\'s nothing special. I perhaps have an unusual talent of bypassing things. Who knows?"

This lame excuse made the headmaster laugh, "Young Master Jin is such a funny person. However, it isn\'t possible that someone of that level exists since the end of the Eighth Challenge."

The Eight Challenge was a taboo topic that shouldn\'t be discussed. Thus, the headmaster only said those words to observe the change in Jin Rou\'s expression.

"Eighth Challenge? What is that?" Jin Rou feigned ignorance and asked.

"Ah, it\'s nothing particular." Seeing there\'s no change in the other party\'s expression, the headmaster shook his head and said.. Perhaps, he might just be overthinking things. After all, how could this mortal looking person be the savior of the world?
