The Adventures Of The Young Master

"Ladies and gentlemen! The Appraising Competition is going to start now!" Staff Li said on stage, "Our owner is about to appear himself, so please do welcome him!"

A round of applause rang across the whole room. Everyone clapped, except Jin Rou. But no one had noticed this except Staff Li who was at the front. His brows knitted in displeasure before dispelling it, afraid that the owner would notice it. The applause rang until an old man in a white robe, having long white hair until the ground, appeared.

This old man was wearing a refined aura and a calm and indifferent expression as if emotions were cleared out of his chest. It was as if he was no longer caring about the mundane world.

"An Immortal Emperor..." Jin Rou muttered under his breath and smiled. He already knew that the old man was an Immortal Emperor no matter how he tried to hide it. Nothing can escape his eyes. In fact, even if he did not use his eyes, he could still tell that this old man was an Immortal Emperor.

"An Immortal Emperor?" Zin Shi, who was by the side, heard this muttered words of Jin Rou. She was now starting to know Jin Rou, as well as his strength. So when Jin Rou said it, she immediately believed it without hesitation and said muttered under her breath, "No wonder this place is only for golden card users. As the owner is such a scary and almighty being."

Of course, the customers of this shop already knew that this old man was an Immortal Emperor. After all, why would they bother giving a look of compliments to the old man as if they were worshipping him?

"Hello everyone!" The old man smiled and roamed his gaze and stopped it at Jin Rou. For a reason, he found the kid very strange. As someone who experienced many life and death battles in Grivexia just to survive and attain this power, he could judge anyone by eyes. And he knew that this kid was a not an ordinary kid, not a typical youngmaster you could see in the streets. When the old man realized that the young man was staring at him too, a chill ran down his spine. His instinct is telling him not to offend him no matter what! He could offend all the powers in Grivexia, but not him!

He cleared his throat to throw the thoughts at the back of his mind and said, "Ehem, I, Owner Bu, has finally come into being from seclusion just to hold this yearly competition. So I hope I did not inconvenient anyone here?"

Those high-class people shook their heads in denial. Their answer was right since they came here for the extravagant rewards waiting inside in the arsenal. How could this inconvenient them? More like they were thankful enough that their chance to win the competition had come again as this event was only available for once every year. Besides, Owner Bu had come from seclusion. It's not a joke if a being like him would come out from seclusion. Compared to this, the customers benefitted more.

"Okay, I see we have a partner of new customers here." Owner Bu smiled and looked at Zin Shi and Jin Rou, "I believe my staff had explained the details of the competition?"

Zin Shi nodded and said, "Yes, Owner Bu."

She did not know what to call him if it should be Immortal Emperor Bu or Owner Bu. However, she decided to just call him Owner Bu. After all, he was the owner of a business. Not to mention, he also stood ground to ground with those secluded Immortal Emperors, watching Grivexia in silence. Calling him by his true strength might give him suspicions. After all, no one had told her that Owner Bu was an Immortal Emperor but Jin Rou. Besides, Zin Shi could tell that Owner Bu was such an observant being. Those eyes as if it had seen everything that was available here in Grivexia, it's giving her chills.

"Very good. Then I won't make this any longer." Owner Bu smiled and said, "Does everyone hire their personal master appraisers already? I have a group of master appraisers here that I borrowed from the Appraiser Guild. They are all 7-star master appraisers! If anyone wants to hire them, then, please. I prepared enough for everyone. Of course, the price varies from the master appraiser you want to hire."

"We trusted your master appraisers more here, Owner Bu." A lady chuckled and said, "They are better than those that can be hired outside. Bunch of worthless things. If they can just inherit at least half of Owner Bu's appraising skills, then it might be a good bargain."

"Don't say that, silly!" A youngmaster beside the lady said, "Owner Bu's appraising skills are top notch, and unbelievable. He is already a 9-star master appraiser, and his life is still long. He doesn't need an inheritor for a while."

Every one chose and hire their own master appraisers. And none of them were cheap. In fact, the cheapest was 7,000 rubies just for this competition. Pretty expensive, isn't it?

Just when everything was about to be settled, Owner Bu noticed something and asked Jin Rou and Zin Shi, "These little friends here, are you not planning on hiring a master appraiser? There were still two master appraisers available."

"Thank you for the concern, Owner Bu. But we can manage." Zin Shi said. She also asked this to Jin Rou, however, Jin Rou just responded with a smile. And she knew what he meant.

"Oh, really?" Owner Bu's curiosity was getting larger. He had been observing Jin Rou, yet all he could see was confident eyes and aura in him.

"You two can manage?" Just when Owner Bu was about to signal the start, a skinny youngmaster suddenly said those words and added, "You, ignorant bumpkins, dare to think you can manage without a master appraiser? Do you think of yourselves master appraisers? Or you two are? But I did not see you there though. So you two are just ignorant bumpkins trying to show off."

This provocation made Jin Rou looked at this skinny youngmaster and just stared at him without blinking.
