Death… And Me

Chapter 3010: Asterix



"Suzumaki?" Rean could guess why he was there. "Are you here because of the pills? Sorry, but I'm not providing any more pills from now on. The pills you got are the pills you have to sell. If they are over, then that's about it."

Suzumaki was taken aback by Rean's words. However, he quickly shook his head. "The pills are indeed important, but that's not why I'm here. The reason I came is that my master wishes to talk to you instead."

"Your... master?" Rean needed clarification. He knew Suzumaki had the backing of one of the High Elders of the Clan. That's why he didn't have issues doing his personal trades. Suzumaki believed Rean also got the backing of his Master and that the pills came from him. That was the story between these two so far. "What could he possibly ask from me? Is it the pills?"

Suzumaki sighed. "My master is supporting Willot."

Immediately, Rean understood the situation. Willot and Dancio, two Transition Realm Experts, one in the Initial Stage and the other in the Middle Stage, are vying for the position of the next Gondel Clan Master. Kuslau was supporting Dancio, while Suzumaki's Master was supporting Willot.

Nonetheless, it didn't make much sense for Suzumaki's Master to be looking for him. He was just a new disciple in the 'Foundation Establishment Realm,' after all. Even if he was Kuslau's disciple, Kuslau wasn't an important elder since he was just a Saint Realm expert. What kind of worth was there for him?

"You know what? Forget it," Rean shook his head. "Go back to your master and tell him that my master, Kuslau, is supporting Dancio. I can't suddenly pay a visit to an opponent elder, right? That would do wrong by my master."

"But..." Suzumaki tried to insist.

"A no is a no," Rean didn't give him a chance, though. "If he truly wants to see me, ask him to notify my master and ask for his permission first. My master might not be a High Elder, but he is still an elder of the clan."

Rean then walked away. He had to join the group of cultivators from the Gondel Clan going to the Cleansing Pond. Sometime later, Rean arrived at the Formations hall, which was already crowded with Nascent Soul Realm cultivators and below. Their masters, too, were there. Rean found Kuslau's group there, joining them a moment later. Kuslua had three other Disciples. One of them was Laica, the woman who explained to Rean things about the Werdlem Empire, their Universe, Galaxy, the Solar System, etc. She was at the Middle Stage of the Nascent Soul Realm.

Rean was seeing the other two for the first time. One was called Dabril, a Late Stage Nascent Soul. Last but not least, there was Coromandel, an Initial Stage Nascent Soul Realm.

Kuslau nodded at Rean. "You are here. There are still a lot more to come, so just wait on the side with the others." Kuslau turned to Laica's group. "The three of you can also use the pond, but make sure to get my Algae first, understood?"

"Yes, master!" Laica and the other two quickly answered.

Rean pondered if he should talk about Suzumaki to Kuslau. However, it was also true Kuslau didn't know about his pill trading with Kuslau. Only Suzumaki believed that to be the case, while no one else knew about it. Suppose Suzumaki's master truly got in contact with Kuslau regarding seeing Rean. In that case, Kuslau might find out about his pill trading from someone else instead, so it was hard for Rean to decide if he should speak himself or hope Suzumaki's master didn't call.

In the end, Rean sighed and used his Spiritual Sense to talk to Kuslau. Worst case scenario he can simply disappear with Roan. 'Mas-'

However, it was at this moment someone approached their group. "Hahaha! Kuslau, finally found you."

Kuslau and his disciples turned in the voice's direction, noticing an old man making his way to them. "Elder Ernan?" Ernan was another High Elder in the Gondel Clan, an expert in the Middle Stage of the Elemental Transformation Realm.

Rean noticed something else, though. 'Suzumaki?'

Yes, Suzumaki was walking with Ernan. There were another four young cultivators with him. Two in the Core and Soul Fusion Realm and two in the Late and Peak Stage of the Nascent Soul. Suzumaki also noticed Rean and smiled at him before glancing slightly at Ernan. He was obviously pointing at Ernan being his own Master, whom Rean had never seen before.

'The guy didn't try to call. He simply came straight for Kuslau in the open... why would he be interested in me then?' Rean couldn't help but wonder.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Kuslau seemed as puzzled as Rean. he knew Ernan and also that Ernan was backing Willot. Above all, Ernan was an important elder while Kuslau wasn't. Normally, you wouldn't see an elder like Ernan approaching a lower elder like Kuslau with such friendly attitude. "El-Elder Ernan. Is there something you wish from me?"

Sure enough, Ernan's interaction with Kuslau caught the attention of the other elders and their disciples in the formations hall. Ernan seemed to complete ignore that, though. "Oh, it's just that I heard about your new disciple, so I came by to take a look. Is that Rean?"

Kuslau looked at Rean, who bitterly smiled and communicated with his Spiritual Sense. 'I wanted to tell you. His disciple came looking for me earlier on his master's behalf, so I told him that if he wanted to talk to me, he should first talk to you, my master. I didn't expect he would truly come.'

Kuslau narrowed his eyes. 'You should have told me sooner, idiot.'

Ernan could tell Rean and Kuslau were exchanging messages, but he didn't mind. "Kuslau, I came here to congratulate you. You sure hid your disciple's ability well. To think he was Asterix, one of the winners of the Rusbav Festival Contest. Truly impressive."

Rean was taken aback. Not only him but all the other elders and cultivators in the Formations Hall.
