Death… And Me

Chapter 3205: Using

”Why?” Tomoe asked back. She didnʼt want to simply abandon the ship without telling anyone. Her girls should at least know she will be gone.

However, Rean had a valid reason to prevent that. ”If you go out there and say you are leaving, you will generate unnecessary chaos in your own sect before the big moment. Instead, it would be better you you prepared the girls for the worst.”

He continued. ”For example, just tell them that you found some information about a great opportunity for you. However, because you will be gone for a long time, the girls in the sect should prepare themselves for the worse, and if you are not back, someone else will be in charge. After all, the sect master, who is also the strongest member of the Gozen Sect, will be absent.”

”That way, you wonʼt tell anyone about what is possibly going to happen, and if whatever will happen in the Divine Werdlem Stone Contest can be managed, your sect will at least be ready for such. Above all, the girls will think you are still out there, looking for this opportunity of yours.”

Dixia didnʼt like Rean, but she had to admit his words made sense. ”Indeed, master. Donʼt tell them you are leaving forever. Leave that to me. When the day comes, and if I see things are truly going in the wrong direction, I will tell everyone the truth. Until then, it is better to get them to prepare for anything. You will still be our pillar until that day, even if you are not here.”

Tomoe hated the idea of lying to her disciples. ”I donʼt know...”

”There is no time to hesitate,” Rean insisted. ”You want your girls to have the best chance at survival, donʼt you? Then thatʼs what you need to do. Announcing your forever departure will only cause more problems, problems that they truly donʼt need at this point in time.”

Finally, Rean gave the last warning. ”Besides, if you tell them that you are leaving forever now because a calamity is approaching, this might attract the attention of the Inquisition Hall. I believe we both know that is definitely not a good idea.”

Seeing that Rean and Dixia were on the same page, Tomoe had to consider that her approach was probably wrong. ”Fine... Gather everyone; I will tell them exactly what Rean said.”

Dixia smiled in response. ”Leave it to me, master.”

”Are you truly okay with it? Do you think the other girls will truly want something like this?” Tomoe couldnʼt help but ask one more time.

Yet, Dixia was adamant. ”Iʼm absolutely certain. I canʼt speak for all the girls, of course. Still, Iʼm pretty sure the majority will support my decision now.”

Dixia then quickly left to prepare everything. As for Tomoe, her expression was quite terrible, and she looked back at Rean and the others with a pledging expression. ”Canʼt we bring my girls as well?”

Rean immediately shook his head. ”I donʼt have space for everyone. And each person I bring with me is an added risk, let alone an entire sect. From what I can see, you gathered a few tens of thousands of girls here. That is simply a number we canʼt possibly take care of.”

”Then, just a few of the gi-” Tomoe suddenly stopped her words. If she truly convinced Rean to bring just a few of the girls, she would be asking them to abandon their friends. That was exactly what she didnʼt want to do. ”Forget it...”

Rean sighed as he got up with the others. ”The cultivation world is not fair most of the time. It has never been, and it will never be. You will experience the loss of many more friends in the future, just like I did in the past. If you canʼt overcome that, you will never be able to reach higher heights. Keep that in mind.”

Tomoe nodded and didnʼt say anything else.

”Hum?” Suddenly, Kentucky noticed something. ”Oh, Rean, he is meeting her now.” Rean had asked Kentucky to keep an eye on Jue while he focused on his meeting with Tomoe.

Rean immediately spread his Spiritual Sense and found Jue meeting a girl on the southwest side of the city. The two went into a private room in a hotel, and the girl seemed very eager to start things. ʼWell, her reserves of Yang Energy seem to be quite depleted, so I guess it makes sense she wants to get into business straight away so she can continue to cultivate.ʼ Rean thought to himself as he analyzed the girl.

Of course, Jue had other plans in mind. He sat on the bed and called the girl over.

As they did, Rean took the opportunity to ask Tomoe. ”Tomoe, can you take a look at these two?” He used his Spiritual Sense to guide Tomoeʼs own and explained to her the situation. Tomoe quickly found the girl and the boy, narrowing her eyes. ”So it is Jue, uh? I told him so many times not to get involved with the girls of my sect. Look at his expression. He seems truly concerned about the girl. Little does he know she is only using him for his Yang Energy. No, I told him that this is what my girls would always do. Everyone in this city should be aware of this fact. He just refuses to see the truth.”

”As I thought...” Rean sighed. ”Love does make one go blind.”

”Are you truly intending to bring that girl as well if he manages to convince her? Well, if she is a real member of my sect, she will never accept such a bullshit proposal to leave. She has too much to lose, especially since she probably thinks about Jue as just one more man on her menu. I definitely think like that with the men I get to bed.” Tomow asked, finding it a little unfair to the rest of the girls in her sect.

Rean shrugged. ”That is Jueʼs beloved, and he is Clansto and Tiabaʼs son. I own Tiaba and Clansto for risking their lives for my brother and me. Besides, if it is just one extra person, it wonʼt make much of a difference.”

However, it was then that they saw something they didnʼt expect. ”This...”
