Death… And Me

Chapter 1691which Army?



Rean would be lying if he said he didn’t expect something like that. ‘Well, that depends on the condition.’

Libraia continued, ‘Since she will try to get accepted by some of the Core Elders of the Jhiod Sect, I want her to go to my Uncle Sam.’

‘Uncle Sam? Are you part of the U.S army?’ Rean asked somewhat absentmindedly.

Libraia didn’t have a clue as to what he meant by that, though. ‘U.S Army? What’s that?’

Rean quickly shook his head, saying, ‘It’s just a joke. Ignore my previous words.’ Rean then changed the topic before Libraia became interested again. ‘So, who is this Uncle Sam?’

‘Isn’t that obvious?’ Libraia asked in response. ‘He’s part of my clan. The Jhiod Sect is enormous, and it has several factions inside it. Erla’s power will definitely be a boon to my clan’s influence inside our own faction. Also, my Uncle Sam just so happens to be an aquatic demon beast, so he’s the best suited to take her under his wings… or fins now that I think about it…’

Rean shrugged his shoulders, saying, ‘Seems good enough for me. I’ll talk with Erla later, but I don’t see a reason for her to refuse. If anything, it’s even better than she can already be accepted by a Core Elder before we even arrive there.’

Libraia was happy to hear that. ‘Then, we have a deal.’

Before Libraia could tell Tilte she wouldn’t accept his offer, Rean asked something else. ‘By the way, what’s the name of your clan? Iglet and Govin seem to be very respectful to you because of that.’

‘That’s obvious,’ Libraia answered. ‘We are the Yume Clan, one of the top clans inside the Jhiod Sect. Among the sect masters of the past, two of them were part of my Yume Clan. Well, that’s not the case at the moment, though. In any case, we have a very strong influence there.’

If anything, Rean became even more joyous after hearing that. ‘Good to know. Well, I guess this really is a deal, then.’

With that, Libraia stopped her conversation with Tilte. While Libraia exchanged information with Rean, she was also negotiating a price to take Erla out. However, she had no need for that anymore. “Alright, you can stop already. Something tells me that this Erla girl is quite important. With that said, I’ll take a look at her myself later. Though, I can’t help her pass the test either, so you can try and stop her with your Sturgeons if you can. Only those who pass the twelve tests in a row can join Jhiod Sect.”

“This…” Tilte was taken aback to hear that. The negotiation seemed to be going well, so why would Libraia suddenly stop? Immediately, he thought about something and looked at Rean. However, Rean had his head turned elsewhere as he talked with Roan. It was as if he wasn’t even paying attention to the negotiation. ‘Fanso confirmed he signed the contract, so he shouldn’t be able to help her at all. However, it’s still too much of a coincidence.’

Tilte then returned his attention to Libraia, offering, “Lady Libraia, I can truly pay a very good price. I can even put in a Water Element Rank Six Divine Stone in the mix.”

All the elders looked at Tilte when they heard that. That was the same Divine Stone that Rean’s group found in the mine back in the Pol Continent. In the end, Havek got that for himself since it would be very useful for his cultivation.

Libraia had to admit that Tilte’s offer was tempting. She would have a hard time getting such an item in her hands, even with her clan’s connections. Of course, she definitely wouldn’t accept it if Tilte used that Divine Stone to ask if they could help some of his descendants pass the test. If it was found out that she accepted bribery to get someone in the sect, she would be done for. However, if it was a price to get someone out of the test, that wouldn’t be a problem. Jhiod Sect definitely didn’t lack talents.

Well, she didn’t consider that offer for long as she knew what Erla was capable of once she grew up. A single Rank Six Water Element Divine Stone wouldn’t be worth Erla’s power. “Now I’m even more interested in that female demon beast called Erla.”

Libraia looked at Iglet right after, saying, “Send our guest off. As I said before, if you want to stop her, you can have your Sturgeons attack her during the next tests. There’s no rule stopping them from doing so. However, no one here will accept your offer.”

Iglet and Govin couldn’t help but send Libraia a Divine Sense message after hearing that. ‘Are you sure? It’s just one demon beast in exchange for the Divine Stone. It’s definitely worth it.’

Libraia shook her head, telling them, ‘Since I said no, then it’s a no. Also, you better not try to accept his offer behind my back. If I find out you did anything to stop the female demon beast from completing the test, I’ll have your heads planted outside the Sect Recruitment Building the next day.’

Govin and Iglet felt a chill on their backs after that. They knew that although Libraia was an easy-going woman, she was definitely a woman of her word. No Rank Six Divine Stone would be worth risking their own lives. ‘Fine. We still think it’s a waste, but we will do as you say.’

As much as Tilte tried, he was still sent out of the sect building. In the end, his attempt to get the Jhiod Sect’s recruitment elders’ help failed miserably. ‘It must have been those twins! Everything was going smoothly, and then suddenly, Libraia changed her mind. I don’t know how, but the contract definitely isn’t working for them.’

Tilte believed that even more since Fanso’s group had not found Erla and Min in any of the previous two tests. With what just happened in the negotiation, Tilte was pretty sure that Rean had helped Erla and Min. ‘I can only count on Fanso and the others now.’
