3059 Come With Me
Rean walked away from Tana, reaching Yuan and putting his arm around Yuan's shoulder while pointing at him. "But why don't you consider this guy for a moment? He knows you the best, doesn't him? I don't think you would find a better partner out there who can do everything you want. Even better, he would put your needs above his own at all times. That's how much he likes you."
'What are you, some kind of male pimp for Demon Beasts?' Roan, who decided to check on Rean for a moment, got to see the whole thing.
'Hahaha!' Rean laughed in response. 'It is not like I have much of a choice anyway. Besides, the quest description was to make Yuan conquer Tana. It never said they had to be together. As long as she admits she likes him, even if she doesn't say it, that would be the same thing.'
Roan pondered a bit and nodded. The system quest was always true to its word. Since it never said they had to be together, then Rean was probably right. 'Fine.'
Tana obviously didn't hear any of that and just avoided looking at Yuan. "Ridiculous. I'm not ready to abandon my good single life yet."
Rean shrugged but didn't insist.
Yuan looked at Rean. "I still don't know what you have to gain from helping me. It simply doesn't make sense."
Tana's interest was picked. "Indeed. Why are you even doing all of this?"
Rean couldn't say it was because of the system's quest, though. "There is no need to worry. I have plenty to gain by helping him... Or, to be more specific, I have plenty to lose if I don't help him. In any case, all you need to know is that whatever I gain or lose from this has absolutely nothing to do with the Saramina Sea Demon Palace or any of its members. You can just pretend that I'm not even here."
At the front, a disciple was sitting in a lotus position with his sword in the middle. Noticing Roan's presence, he opened his eyes, looking sharp. There were a few others around acting as gatekeepers since the sect still received quite a high number of visitors. Roan was just another one for them. "What is i-"
Yet, his words suddenly stopped. The sword aura coming from Roan's body made him gasp for a moment. It felt as if his body would be cut in half in the next second. "Did you come here to buy a fight with the World Splitting Sect?" he quickly recovered. Such a display meant nothing more than an offense for other sword cultivators, and this was the main sword sect of the country.
Roan's sword aura disappeared, shaking his head. "No. I'm here because the Master of the World Splitting Sect, Diliy, requested my brother's presence. He couldn't come, so I came in his stead. Bring me to him."
The disciple was taken aback. "Do you think that just anyone who appears at the gate can request to meet the Sect Master? If I believed everyone's story that the Sect Master called them, this gate would be packed with idiots."
Suddenly, a Spiritual Sense Message arrived to that disciple. 'Let him pass.'
"Elder Tassio!" The disciple immediately recognized the message. A moment later, a middle-aged man flew down, landing in front of Roan. "Why did you come instead of your brother?"
"Things happened," Roan answered with his usual cold tone.
The elder narrowed his eyes but nodded in the end. Rean was too important for Diliy, so he had to let his brother meet Diliy at least. "Come with me."
And as always, any Golden Tickets and Stones are welcome. ;)
