The news about what happened in the Dao Sword Academy spread faster than expected. The elders of Ancient Pugan attacked the academy for a certain treasure. Unfortunately, they weren't successful as someone joined the fight and brought despair to them.
Many speculations emerged about the mysterious person but there was no confirmation or whatsoever from the academy. The academy remained tight-lipped about the matter and had no plans in divulging information.
Nevertheless, it didn't stop people from investigating though it wouldn't bear fruit in the end.
Jin Rou had no reason to stay here for long. He already did his part and it's now up to the academy how to fend themself. He looked at Goldenchild and Zia and said, "I'll be leaving now. Take care of the academy for me."
Jin Rou wanted to leave without the headmaster and ancestor knowing. After all, they'd always beg him to stay just like in the past.
"Will you come back, Young Master?" Goldenchild was sad. Being with Han Li even for the shortest time had brought him many benefits that his clan couldn't give. But also, he understood that Han Li wasn't someone who could be contained by a mere academy. There was a bigger world waiting for him out there.
"Leave it to fate." Jin Rou smiled. He wasn't a person of this world. Once he accomplished what he should do, he'd return to his own world and leave this body. As Han Li was no longer alive, he'd really die after Jin Rou leave, "The academy will prosper if it's the two of you. Be sure to reach the peak when you've fully matured."
As he said that, he stood up. He stood by the window and looked back at the two, "But for now, farewell."
After that, Jin Rou disappeared like a bubble. He completely erased his scent and aura thus there's no one who could follow him.
After Jin Rou left, the atmosphere of the room became heavier. Goldenchild clenched his fists hard. On this day, he promised not to ever let down the person who gave so much to him.
And as for Zia, she was born with natural talent. Besides, she was a disciple of an Asura. What could she ask for more? She had a promising future, as long as she didn't encounter any mishaps.
When the news of Jin Rou's departure came to ears, the headmaster and the ancestor was too late to react and could only deeply sigh in regret.

Desperate City. It was one biggest cities around the world, with hundred millions of citizens around. The economy of this place was booming as it was greatly protected by a powerful force. The caravans which were going in and out of the city could safely arrive and leave, thus many merchants chose to do trades here.
There was only one catch though. The tax here was the most expensive one.
Jin Rou was strolling the city right now. It wasn't one of his target destinations, but it was along the way and curious about what's happening here.
Compared to the commerce cities he had gone to in the past, this city had a certain edge. After all, it was being protected by a battalion of powerful knights and two Imperial Lords.
Furthermore, the Imperial Lords of this city weren't normal ones, as they have 7 Totems! Just like Dao Monarchs who have Dao Palaces. In the ranks of lords, having 7 totems was a hard feat! After all, there were only a few who reached that level. Of course, 7 totems wasn't the end of its power.
With lords of this level and capable knights, it's no doubt the city was always in peace.
As Jin Rou was strolling the city, he suddenly heard a loud voice saying, "Hello, everyone! Our Knight Mansion Auction House is going to host its biggest auction ever and we invite all of you to participate! Just like I said, this will be the biggest event ever that we have held as we have certain treasures that will surely tempt you! Of course, same rules applies. If you want to participate, please go into our auction house immediately."
The biggest event with public auction? Jin Rou was surprised. Usually, this kind of event was supposed to be invitation-only. After all, they even bragged about being it the biggest auction they would ever hold.
However, he soon realized one thing. Although it was a public auction, no one was enticed to go and just resumed their lives.
Curious, he skimmed Han Li's memories if he had encountered this auction house to gather information.
And bingo. Han Li had several about it.
The Knight Mansion Auction House was a legitimate auction house with real treasures up for bidding. However, their style was kind of unique as they didn't accept gold, which was the currency. They only accept a treasure that they could deem worthy of being exchanged with their treasure.
Usually, the owners of the item being auctioned would set what item they were looking for and the host would tell it to the clients. Han Li visited this house twice in the past to find a certain item he needed for the challenge.
But it wasn't the vexing part. The vexing part was in order to participate in the auction, one had to pay a fee for it worthing 500 gold saying it's the Knight Protection Guarantee. Meaning, the clients would be able to return to their homes safely without a scratch.
This was mandatory and everyone was required to pay for it. Of course, you could just walk away if you think the price was too high. The house wasn't forcing everyone to participate as they knew not everyone could afford the price. Nevertheless, they were welcoming everyone still.
Jin Rou was kinda curious what kind of auction it was right now. He searched something from Han Li's inventory and took it out.
It was a black card with no distinguishing features in it. There was a symbol of sword in the middle of it glowing like a small light.. Seeing this, Jin Rou smiled and proceeded to go to the auction house.
