The Adventures of the Young Master 108 Argumen

Seeing the silver coins with twin doves engraved in it, Jin Rou immediately recognized this. He also had a coin, but it was different to this one. This silver coin indicated that he was from the Lovey Dovey Sect. And after some further inspections, he found out that this was real by using his God's Eyes.

"I thought there is no survivor of the sect... To think that there is still one..." The mysterious girl looked over. She was also shocked because of this sudden revelation. It was already clear as the blue sky that Lovey Dovey Sect was completely annihilated by the Bitter Sect and ensured that there was no survivor at all. The driver was also shocked that his eyes were already popping out from his sockets.

"That's right. If you are the sectmaster, you should know that this coin was legit, right?" Lin Fan said.

"It is no doubt that it is a silver coin of the Lovey Dovey Sect. However, what if you just picked that coin from the street and pretended to be one?" Jin Rou voiced out a half-hearted suspicion.

"What picked? Do you think the sect disciples were that low to not treat their coins as a keepsake? As the last survivor of the sect, I still hold my dignity as the disciple of the Lovey Dovey Sect!" Lin Fan puffed his chest out in a proud manner.

"So how did you survive?" Jin Rou asked. As far as he knew, the last one to survive was the sectmaster himself but eventually in the end. The old man did not mention that there was still someone who survived the calamity. And so, he was curious. "If you survived it because the sectmaster sacrificed himself to retain the last bloodline of the sect, then it made sense. And you should be the appointed successor, not me."

"Ah, no no. That's not it." Lin Fan denied, "When those bastards from Bitter Sect were attacking the sect, I immediately ran without hesitation." He said in a proud manner.

"You tucked your tails between your legs?" Jin Rou was a bit speechless of this shameless guy. "And you still dare to call yourself a disciple of the Lovey Dovey Sect?" Now, it was clear why Lin Fan was not appointed as the successor.

"What tucked my tails between my legs?! It is called a strategic retreat! 10 years is not too late for a gentleman's revenge, you know?" Lin Fan argued.

"Strategic retreat your forehead! The disciples of the Lovey Dovey Sect died while protecting their ground, even knowing they would just die. But you, on the other hand, shamelessly ran away in the middle of the calamity. You think that's a good thing?" Jin Rou said in a disdainful manner.

"So what do you want me to do? Become a cannon fodder of the sect and increase the numbers of death? One way or another, we are already checkmated by that time and there was no hope to turn the tides. What's wrong with preserving my life? What's wrong with choosing my own destiny rather than dying with just dignity?!" Lin Fan voiced out his displeasure. He knew that it was cowardly move on his part. But what can he do? He wanted to live longer, was it really wrong?

"Maybe you are right, whether you participated or not, the battle was already determined with all the odds against the sect. But have you ever thought what would your fellow comrades who died feel for what you did?" Jin Rou was getting his point and it was understandable. For someone like him who grew up with proper teachings from his mother, this act was a bit cowardly, even for him.

"Heh. How righteous of you. Yes, that is a cowardly move, therefore, I am coward. But so what? In the end, I preserved my life while they all died. I lost my dignity, but my life was preserved. What do you think was the better scenario?" Lin Fan said in a mocking tone.

"It seemed that you are not someone who will sacrifice himself for someone dear to you, you are the type of character that will not rely on plot armor. Using your head over the voice of your conscience is not something everyone is capable of. You have my admiration there." Seeing that Jin Rou could not change his perspective, he decided to just let it be. After all, it already happened. And even him, who could control time, had no ability to turn back the time to such extent to change things.

"Thank you for your admiration then." Lin Fan smiled.

Jin Rou was impressed by this man. He did not hesitate to voice out his words, without even filtering anything offensive. As long as he spoke for his mind, he would not falter. As long as his beliefs were not shaken, he would not hesitate. This type of human... was wise and fool at the same time.

"So you're not going to insult me more? I thought you have not had enough yet." Lin Fan initiated.

"Ahh... I don't like arguments so I will leave it at that. Besides, you have a point there. It is your life, and it should be you to decide what will you do." Jin Rou said with a smile on his face, "How about returning to the sect? After all, you still have the silver coin, meaning that you still hold importance regarding the sect. Now that it is already revived, you have the right to return."

"Why should I? I am branded a coward for life, a selfish one." Lin Fan wryly smiled.

"Well, if the former sectmaster was still alive, I know he would also do the same. After all, he just wanted to revive the sect and its glory, aiming to reach greater heights." Jin Rou said. This Lin Fan had some interesting sleeping power that even him, the Celestial King, found amusing. If this guy will return, then let's not mention his attitude, it was already good as approved.

He continued, "Besides, you want revenge, right? I am planning to aid you with that. Besides, it seemed that you are stagnant at Sky Realm, ninth stage for a long time already, if you return, I will help you with it."

"What... How did you...?" Lin Fan was shocked to hear this as his eyes widened. He never told the other party his cultivation. Even when he used the Might of Crushing Balls, his aura did not leak even a bit. So it should be impossible to detect, what's more, is that he knew that he was currently experiencing bottleneck that was hard to overcome. How did this he do it?

"I just calculated it. Not worth mentioning." Jin Rou casually said, "So, are you willing to return? It's okay if you don't want though."

Lin Fan hesitated for a while, pondering things, but in the end... "Alright."

He bowed down with his fist cupped, "Paying respects to sectmaster."
