Death… And Me

Chapter 3097  Usefull

Roan glanced at the girl and moved to the Formations Hall. "Follow me, kid."

Tomoe nodded, although she wasn't very pleased. "Can you stop with the kid thing? Look at you."

Roan completely ignored her, though. He paid to use one of the teleport formations... and obviously did not pay for Tomoe's, so she had to pay her own teleport. Roan could feel the various Spiritual Senses on him. He wanted to at least get away before pulling the girl into the Dimensional Realm. He basically would use the same trick as Rean did, making it look like a teleport instead.

Just a teleport formation was about to activate, Roan sent her a Spiritual Sense message. 'You will feel the teleport formation trying to pull you in another direction. Do not fight it.'

"Eh?" Tomoe was taken aback, but the teleport had already activated. Then, she felt that second different pull Roan talked about and gritted her teeth, allowing it to take her away.

The 'teleport' took longer than she was used to. Well, that's because she actually passed by the twins' Dimensional Realm before being sent out once again, this time where Rean was.

Rean was cultivating in the Dimensional Realm, but he came out in that cave just to receive Tomoe. *Zush!*

Roan didn't appear, though. Instead, he stayed in the Dimensional Realm, so he didn't need to bother about the girl anymore. Instead, Roan quickly focused on his own training. He had just learned how to use the Fifth Level of Weapon Intents. He wanted to get used to it.

Tomoe looked around, surprised to see she wasn't where she was supposed to be. The teleport formation she took should have sent her to a city called Krundew, but this place definitely wasn't it. "How did I get here?"

"We are north of Wrifis City, just past the border into Miandun Country," Rean answered from behind.

Tomoe quickly turned around, her eyes shining. "Finally found you! Did you think you could escape?"

"I did," Rean nodded. "In fact, I can leave you any time I feel like. However, you said something about me being the reason for you to not find your path. Was it because of how I defeated you back in the contest?"

Tomoe nodded. "I always get what I want, even if by force. I said I would get you, so if I didn't, it would obviously become a hurdle stopping me from reaching the Soul Transformation Realm."

Rean shrugged. "You do know that is not my problem, right? However, I also don't want to be the reason for that, so I will show you something." Rean immediately sent the girl a Spiritual Sense message, showing part of his life with his wife and daughter. Of course, he had a different appearance back then.

"This..." Tomoe was taken aback. Even with the different appearance, she could tell the man was Rean. "You are married...?"

"That I am," Rean nodded. Well, there has never really been a 'marriage,' to be more specific, but he already has someone. "That's why I said that your idea of getting me was meaningless. You see, this young appearance of mine is not my real self. Also, even if that means you won't reach the Soul Transformation Realm anymore, I will still not betray my wife. I got you here so you could understand this fact and, hopefully, clear your mind so you can reach the Soul Transformation Realm in the future."

Tomoe narrowed her eyes. She always thought that because Rean was so young, no one had put their eyes on him yet. However, that also made her happy. "I see... I see! No wonder you were so strong! You are just pretending to be a kid! " n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Rean's mouth twitched. "Do you think I look like this because I wanted to? Little girl, many things you don't know about happened. Anyway, I will send you back to where you came from."

"No can do!" Tomoe immediately refused. "I understand you are married and even have a kid, and I would never share my man with anyone, so I will drop this matter. However, my blockage still exists. Now that I know what kind of monster you are, I want you to teach me about the sword! You have been using it for even longer than Sect Master Diliy, right? Take me as a disciple!"

Rean felt a headache. First of all, the one who accepted disciples in the past was Roan. Rean, on the other hand, had never taken a disciple. At most, he took the work of helping Roan with his disciples. 'Hey, there is one here for you. Do you want her?'

Roan's expression turned dark. 'What part of I have no intent of taking disciples in this place did you forget?'

Roan did mention that in the past, and Rean agreed back then. He was just pulling his leg. 'If you say so...'

Finally, Rean refused. "Sorry, but I'm not taking disciples."

"A mistress is not a problem either," Tomoe added.

Rean didn't even know how to react to that proposition. "Didn't you just say that you would never share your man or whatever?"

"But you are not my man," Tomoe shrugged. "It is just sex, no feelings involved."

"That's definitely a very open-minded way of thinking..." Rean commented with a bitter smile. "I have no interest, though." What a joke. With Rean's real age, such a thing couldn't even be considered a bargaining chip.

"There has to be something you can use me in exchange for teaching me the sword, right?" Tomoe insisted. "That can also open my path for the Soul Transformation Realm."

Rean pondered a bit about the offer and had an idea. "There is one thing you can help. In exchange, I will give one life-changing opportunity," Rean spoke.

Tomoe smiled brightly. "What is it?"

"My 'parents' back in the Gondel Clan territory. I can't really look after them due to some circumstances," Rean explained, talking about Clansto and Tiaba. "I want you to look after them for the time being, probably for a few years. Do that, I will give you a choice. You can get a pill that will greatly increase your talent, or you can get to see the Fifth Stage of Sword Intent two times. Are you interested?"

"Fifth Stage!" Tomoe's eyes lit up. She heard about how the master of the sect had seen it once and how it deeply influenced his understanding of Sword Intent. For a Sword Cultivator like her, seeing such a thing even once would truly be a priceless treasure. As for the pill, although it did look good, she still had her heart on the sword. "I will take the Sword Intent!"

Rean nodded, satisfied. The Gondel Clan probably could be used for that, but it would be better to have someone else not truly related to them. Sword Cultivators are a lot more straightforward. Besides, everyone in the Gondel Clan knows about Rean now, so even though his 'master' wouldn't do anything to his 'parents,' the same couldn't be said about the others. "Then we have a deal. I show you the location on the map, so go there and take them to the World Splitting Sect or wherever you think is safer. Now then, let me show you the fifth stage for the first time. The second time will be when I come back."
