The Adventures Of The Young Master

Chapter 968 Unforgivable



Jin Rou knew that Ophelia wouldn\'t stop unless she had a chance to talk with him. Thus, he flatly said, "Speak."

"I was forced by my father that time." Ophelia didn\'t need to say what she was talking about. With Jin Rou\'s ability, he could already understand it, "Our clan was pressured by the central people. We don\'t have a choice. I don\'t have a choice."

"So you decided it\'s worth it betraying me?" Jin Rou asked, "And have you gotten what you desired by betraying me?"

Ophelia bit her lip and shook her head, "No..."

What happened was nothing but a series of misfortune. Bad luck after bad luck had fallen upon them that it led his father in committing suicide. Still, did she ever have a choice? All her life, she was controlled by her family and of all people, Han Li was aware of that.

"I gave you a chance to speak. Now give me that key." Jin Rou didn\'t care about what happened in the past. Han Li was no longer in this world, just his body, cultivation, and memories retained with the emotions in it.

He just gave her the chance to speak, but he didn\'t say that it\'s going to change how he viewed her.

"Do you really need to be this heartless?" Ophelia\'s expression was broken and sad. She used to think that Han Li was a good person after all he did for their clan.

"I never am a good person." Jin Rou cleared it out to her, "You should have focused in your cultivation. If you did, you already have a fighting chance against those who did you wrong. It\'s pointless holding on to a regret you know will never fade."

Jin Rou\'s answer was clear as day. He wasn\'t going to understand and forgive Ophelia, and that\'s final.

"Right. You treat people like they are your pawns you can use and throw when you don\'t need them." Ophelia wanted to curse, but she controlled herself. Snapping here wouldn\'t do any good. After all, she knew she wasn\'t a match against this man who stood at the apex point of Mortalis.

"But I never betray them." Jin Rou snorted, "I don\'t need to betray someone who trusted me for meager benefits."

"You can say that because you stand along the sky. What if you are in the same situation as me that time? Will you still choose the same?" Ophelia turned the situation around.

"My answer is the same. You and I are different. You need people to help you grow, but ever since then, I\'m always alone and never needed anyone." Jin Rou walked towards her and got the key then walked past to her, "So stop comparing me to you. Because if we\'re talking about the pain and sacrifices to make, yours is nothing but a piece of what\'s mine."

Ophelia wanted to refute this. How could he invalidate her feelings like that because he had gone through worse? But realizing it, the man was already gone and nowhere to be found. She bit her lip that it bled, and clenched her fists until it turned red.

She was frustrated, but she knew there was no hope in making the person understand her. Or maybe, it\'s not yet the right time for them to talk. Tears ran down her face as she turned her back with cold eyes.

Just like Jin Rou said, it was pointless. So she had to stop this madness. The other party didn\'t care, and perhaps wouldn\'t care.

Fiarra was following Jin Rou. They suddenly teleported and Jin Rou was walking fast. She knew that he was in a bad mood since of that woman\'s appearance.

Then, Jin Rou suddenly stopped which made Fiarra stopped too. She was giving him a personal time to think through since it was obvious that he needed it.

"Do you think it\'s wrong to not forgive someone who betrayed you?" Jin Rou suddenly asked. He didn\'t know why he was affected by this when he shouldn\'t be. It\'s none of his business anyway.

Hearing the question, Fiarra was a little surprised, but she still responded, "Young Noble, you have all the reasons not to forgive someone who did you wrong. I don\'t know the full story, but I know you will not act like that without a reason. It must have brought you pain, perhaps. And us living beings feel emotions and pain no matter what."

Jin Rou took a deep breath and looked at the key on his palm, "Right."

"If you can\'t forgive her, then don\'t, Young Noble." Fiarra resumed and slowly neared Jin Rou. Eventually, she hugged him from the back and tried her best to comfort him, "It\'s totally okay not to forgive. No one will ever blame you."

Forgiveness wasn\'t always available in this world. People who were once hurt so bad by those they trusted had the worst feelings of all. Even Han Li had some experiences regarding this. Many people weren\'t going to forgive him for what he did, but the thing was he never asked for it.

He would never be sorry for a decision he made for the greater good of the world.

Jin Rou felt lightened after hearing Fiarra\'s words. He didn\'t know why her comfort was so effective, but he knew it took an effect to him.

"Let\'s go." Jin Rou smiled and said, "Let\'s see what\'s the inside of this box."

The duo searched for a private space which could they use to seal the surroundings. Since Jin Rou couldn\'t confirm what\'s inside the box, he needed to be prudent.
