Jin Rou laughed as he heard this but he didn't comment about it, "Alright, let's head out. We've been here for too long."
He walked off the door without turning back. The memories that were left with Feng Lin here had been carried by Jin Rou. And that'd would live in him forever.
Emperor Lin followed suit. He knew there were more things to attend to rather than reminiscing the memories of the late law.
After leaving the treasury, what met the duo was a waiting butler. He was the Head Butler, Azmon.
"Azmon, why are you here?" Emperor Lin asked. Truthfully, this butler was very busy in the morning. After all, there were so many things to do in the palace like preparing the luxurious meals and assisting the princes in their activities.
"Your Highness, Your Majesty, Azmon greets you." Azmon bowed sincerely and said, "Emperor Randies of Purple Haven Empire is seeking for your presence."
"Why is he here?" Emperor Lin was stumped. He couldn't think of a reason why the emperor was present in this empire.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtPurple Haven Empire had also a strong foundation with a law guarding it. Their empire was known for their successful economic breaks throughout the world. In terms of businesses, they ranked at the very top. The said empire was one of the suspects which would attack the Phoenix Empire, but right now he was here seeking presence?
"Your Highness, I didn't dare to ask as I am only a mere butler." Head Butler Azmon spoke carefully, "However, he says that it's urgent so you shall meet him as soon as possible."
"Alright, where is he?" Emperor Lin took a deep breath and asked.
"He is in the Flame Library, Your Highness. I will escrort you majesties there." Azmon bowed and led the way.

The Flame Library was one of the three main libraries of the palace. Here consisted the history and expeditions of the ancestors in their whole lives. Also, it included their experiences which made the books here with a higher value. Although it's not as big as the other two libraries, this held a great importance for the empire.
"I didn't expect His Majesty Emperor Randies will be gracing us with his presence." Emperor Lin smiled as he looked at the middle aged man in front of him.
They were currently sitting in a round glass table with a pot of aromatic tea in the middle. Jin Rou, Emperor Lin, and the visitor Emperor Randies were present.
His guard was up, which noticed by Emperor Randies thus he said chuckling, "You don't have to be on that guard, I am not here to antagonize you and your empire."
"Then why Emperor Randies is here? May we know what is your agenda amidst of the predicament we're currently facing?" Emperor Lin didn't believe Randies.
Anyone would be suspicious about it. After all, the sudden visit of the emperor of another empire smelled fishy in a sense knowing that three empires were eyeing for them.
Emperor Randies laughed and looked at Jin Rou, "My reason for coming here is him."
"His Majesty?" Emperor Lin's guard increased. His brows creased and he was ready to fight the other emperor.
"Emperor Lin, please relax. I already said that I'm not here to antagonize you. So please don't test my patience." Emperor Randies smiled.
Emperor Lin wanted to say something more because he was agitated. But Jin Rou held him off, shaking his head. The emperor already got what Jin Rou meant and swallowed his words.
"Since I am your reason for coming here, let's hear it Emperor Randies." Jin Rou finally spoke. The other party was clearly sizing him up to see the extent of his capabilities.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Ancestor Feng Lin has really an eye for talents. To think that he could get a person like you with this talent. It's amazing, no wonder he chose you as his successor." Emperor Randies didn't forget to compliment Jin Rou.
"Thank you, but I'm very much aware of it. I doubt you come here just to compliment me, right?" Jin Rou took a sip of his tea while speaking.
"So straightforward, I like it." Emperor Randies usually was respected by people. Even other emperors were like this yet this lad didn't show any of it like how should a normal person would respond, "Alright let me get straight to the point. Our Universal Law is friend of your late master, and he wishes you to evacuate this empire as soon as possible. The three laws who conspired to kill your master will be coming back and hunt you until they get the legacy of your master."
"I see. Who are these three laws you're talking about?" Jin Rou asked. He wouldn't let a chance to gain information slip in his hands.
Emperor Randies was surprised a bit after hearing this question. But he still answered, "Bloodflaw, Noah, and God King. These were the dao titles of the laws the empire will face. Noah was used to be the closest friend of your late master."
Emperor Lin gasped by this revelation. Those laws were at the top 5 of the strongest laws out there! It was already a despairing moment for the empire, yet after knowing this, it's more despairing and a hopeless case.
"I see." Jin Rou remembered that his late master said something about the friends he trusted backstabbed him. So these were their names, "And your Universal Law is...?"
"Violet Cloud Universal Law." Emperor Randies said.
"And Violet Cloud wants me to be under his protection and hide there?" Jin Rou asked.
"Indeed. We cannot let those three bastard laws win this. They cannot have you, or it will be end of this world." Emperor Randies said in a grave tone. These three laws were unlawful and would do anything they wished to, and that's the terrifying part of it. They were already blinded by greed and power.
"So, how can I trust you and your law when even my master's closest friend betrayed him? Do you really think that just because I'm young, I'm easy to fool?" Jin Rou spoke with a disdain in his eyes.
