Chapter 952 Dalensale Town
"I will be going now." Jin Rou told Xiaolei, "I have done my part and you are on your own."
Jin Rou didn't want them to depend on him. If they wanted to prosper, they needed to do it by themselves. They needed to stand in their own feet. That way, their progress would hasten.
Xiaolei knew that Jin Rou was just a passerby in their place and bowed, "Thank you for your grace, Young Noble. If you ever need our Firegate, please don't hesitate to do so."
Jin Rou became the sole benefactor of the Firegate. Whether it was for a deal or not, the fact that Jin Rou gave them hope was still there, igniting their volition.
"The Firegate will prosper under your lead." Jin Rou smiled. He had Han Li's eyes in detecting people and their personalities, "As long as you firmed your dao heart more, the future is endless for you."
"Young Noble, I don't deserve such words." Xiaolei remained humble and didn't get the words onto his head. Because of Jin Rou, he knew the path where the Firegate should go. Jin Rou paved the way already, it's a shame if they didn't dive in.
Jin Rou nodded and turned his back. He had no longer any connection with the Firegate and it's time to disappear. Soon, Jin Rou disappeared without leaving any traces.
Xiaolei looked at the chair where Jin Rou sat during the meeting and controlled the entire meeting. He couldn't help but smile as his appearance changed slowly, perhaps he was already noticed by Jin Rou but it had no point now. Soon, he looked like a middle-aged handsome man with fire-red hair fluttering by the wind. Releasing an imperial aura that could flatten realms, he looked at the distant horizon and murmured,
"Young Noble, I guess I'm still right after all. That endurance pays off."
After saying those, he chuckled and returned to being Xiaolei.

Jin Rou was riding a public carriage. This time, he was taking his time sightseeing as he's still waiting for Sylvianna to cultivate the jade wood. Right now, he was briefed that they're going to enter Dalensale Town.
Dalensale Town was known for its tourist spots. Although it's not comparable to Evangeline Cross, the town was still beautiful and worth to sightsee.
The town was under the jurisdiction of Thousand Elf Kingdom. It was the sole ruler of the large land of Dalensale. As a matter of fact, it was already treated as a continent by many mortals. With how large their territory was, one could gauge how powerful the Thousand Elf Kingdom was.
Although the kingdom had a very strict rules towards who they grant entry, the Dalensale Town was a bit far from where their claws reached. In other words, the town was located in the outskirts of the continent.
"Customers, we will reach the Dalensale Town in a few hours. Please prepare your luggages and be it in your tow." The driver said. He was an old man with a long beard, "Also, the town prohibits entry of sharp objects. So please refrain from having one. If you have one, you can throw it away now."
Jin Rou didn't mind the reminder as he was busy looking at the view outside. He was just here to look for the tourist spots, anyway.
However, no matter how focused he was looking outside, his alerted senses could still catch on the quick glances of someone in front of him. Although the person was wearing a thick robe, Jin Rou could determine who she was already.
But he had no plans of exposing her or whatsoever as long as she didn't try anything funny.
It was normal for once and twice, but the robed woman in front of him kept stealing glances at him which made Jin Rou a bit uncomfortable. Finally, with his patience running thin, he asked her, "Can I help you with something?"
Being caught that she's looking at him, she hurriedly looked away as if embarrassed.
Jin Rou sighed. What's this woman getting embarrassed for? She's the one who kept looking at him. Furthermore, it was a wonder why she would even look at him.
With Jin Rou's normal appearance which could be seen anywhere you go, people would not even glance at him the second time around. But this woman kept doing it.
Seeing that the target had no interest in answering, Jin Rou rolled his eyes back to the outside and said, "Suit yourself."
After a few hours, the carriage stopped and the driver hopped out with a glee tone, "Customers, we are now in Dalensale Town! I hope you had a good ride with our merchant trade. If you do, happen to drop by our area and we will give you discounts!"
Jin Rou didn't bother taking the brochure and walked away. The driver didn't mind it as he encountered many of this kind in the everyday he worked.
As Jin Rou was already in the town, he sensed that the woman was following him. Since he didn't know her purpose, he led her to a passage with no living things.
"I really don't like it when I'm being stalked." Jin Rou appeared behind the robed woman and said, "Elf lady, if you don't want me to shout who you really are in this town, you better give me a reasonable explanation in your actions."
It turned out that the woman came from the Elf Race. They were known to be beautiful people with longer lifespans. The Dalensale was known to be the territory of the elves and the lineage leading them was known as the Thousand Elf Kingdom.
The woman knew that it was useless hiding her appearance so she put down her robe. What met Jin Rou's eyes was an elven lady with an extremely beauty. She was carrying the aura of nobility as she slowly exposed herself to him. Her jade-like eyes shone like the river's reflection of the moon, blurry yet shiny.
As her eyes looked at Jin Rou, she bowed and introduced herself, "I am Fiarra Tues viu Serafinio."
