Chapter 656 - Sincerity And Resolution
"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty." Mrs. Lei walked up to Jin Rou after the meeting was over. She was feeling so much that she didn't know what to feel. However, she knew that it was all about happiness, gratitude and positive emotions.
All this time, she thought that her life was already over. She just wanted to raise her sons to be good people and watch them have families of their own. She wanted to die in peace without worrying so much about them. However, everything became twisted. Her son died unjustly and they were hunted by the kingdom soldiers for her act.
It was all a messed up life that she wanted to die already but then, Jin Rou came. He saved them from this misery and ended it with elegance. All she could ask now was to live in peace and protect her left son. He was a mere kid and it breaks her heart seeing her son having difficulties in life.
"It's alright, it's what I should do for you and your son." Jin Rou helped Mrs. Lei because he remembered his mother to her. Perhaps he was already missing her too much that he thought this way, "About the issue of your son who died in the kingdom, I'll have the emperor investigate it and let the culprit bear the responsibility."
"Your Majesty, it's too much. There's no need to." Mrs. Lei was embarrassed. She keep on receiving help from Jin Rou and it's more than she could take. If this kept on, she was afraid she couldn't pay it back.
"Mrs. Lei, it's not much. Just think about that I'm doing this for the sake of your son. One way or another, he will keep asking about his family and you cannot avoid it. At the very least, you can give him proper and sincere answers with my help." Jin Rou smiled, "And don't worry, I am not asking for any payment for this."
"This..." Mrs. Lei bit her lower lip from embarrassment. However, it would be a disrespect if she keep on turning it down, "Alright, Your Majesty. Thank you for your grace."
Emperor Lin by the sidelines couldn't help but feel a little jealous. This lady was so fortunate to meet Jin Rou and have his help.
"We have to get moving now, Mrs. Lei. The old man from your clan will fetch you so you should wait for him here." Jin Rou handed over a talisman, "If ever you meet a problem, just contact me using this."
Mrs. Lei didn't say anything and just bowed again. No words could describe her gratitude towards the other party. Tears rolled down from her face during this act.
"See you again." Jin Rou bid his farewell and left entirely.
After Jin Rou left, Old Man Lei appeared and looked at Mrs. Lei with complicated expression. He didn't know what to say either. After all, he was the one who issued the order to disown Mrs. Lei.
It wasn't an easy decision to make. Mrs. Lei was one of the prodigies their clan had and he had no choice but to disown her because of the crime she did. Factly speaking, he loved Mrs. Lei like his own child but unfortunate circumstances were always present, ready to antagonize fate.
"You don't need to say anything, Clan Master." Mrs. Lei smiled wryly. There was a tinge of sadness in her eyes visible, "I know you have just done your job as the master by following the rules. I am very much aware of what I did."
"Child, I have already warned you about the man but you still didn't listen to me." Old Man Lei sighed and looked up, "You have a bright future ahead of you, if you just take the path I asked you to, you might be now a High God."
"Clan Master, sometimes we live because we don't want to follow the rules." Mrs. Lei said with a sincere tone, "It might not have turned well but I didn't regret anything. Not anything now that I still have my son."
Old Man Lei didn't know what to say about this and just changed the subject, "I heard that your oldest son passed away. My deepest condolences. I will be looking into this matter appropriately."
"It's okay. His Majesty said that the His Highness Emperor Lin will be looking into this matter so you don't have to worry about it." Mrs. Lei answered, as she shook her head.
"I see." Old Man Lei had expected this answer and said, "Then, let's go home. Where is your son?"
"In a private space His Majesty created for my child. He is still sleeping after the long and tiring trip from Newgate. When he wakes up, was space will automatically tear open." Mrs. Lei looked was speaking in a calm tone, "Clan Master, how can I be a Dao Supreme?"
It seemed that Mrs. Lei had already thought about this matter and wanted to pursue cultivation. Old Man Lei couldn't help but beam with smile, "Child, we have enough resources to help you reach that. However, it will be a one long and arduous path. Becoming a Dao Supreme isn't a small matter and although you have extreme talents, you still need a tough perseverance to through the trials."
Old Man Lei was a peak High God. He was already one step towards the door of Supremacy. Nevertheless, this last step was very difficult to achieve as it he lacked the enlightenment of to do so. He could also feel that this was the maximum of the level he could attain. He was feeling down these days because of the declining talents of the clan but now that Mrs. Lei and her son would come back home, he felt energized.
His Majesty had told that Mrs. Lei would be a candidate to become a Dao Supreme! He would do everything to make the woman achieve this level and fly to the next heights. Thinking about this had already made him excited.
"I will do everything to become a Dao Supreme. Not because of anyone but for my son and His Majesty who helped me. This is the only way I can think of repaying him." Mrs.. Lei made an oath, showing her sincerity and resolution.
