BXBX NOVEL Chapter 2258 Jikli Clan
Chapter 2258 Jikli Clan
Stepping outside of the formation, Rean looked at the Old Woman and gave her a slight nod. "Alright, my friend. We are back to the humanoid races. In any case, there is no need for you to bring us to your clan and pay us anything else. I helped because I didn't want to abandon another human like myself, so that's enough. We probably will never see each other ever again, so good luck procuring your partner."
Rean turned around and began to walk out of the room with Kentucky, much to the Minokawa's confusion. 'Didn't you say the system probably brought her to us? Why are you leaving her behind?'
Rean shook his head. 'It is just a possibility. Regardless if she has a familiar aura or not, the truth is that we both don't know who she is. If the Destiny Attraction really is crossing our paths with hers, then trying to simply leave won't be as easy as this.'
"Wait!" The Old Woman was taken aback by Rean's words. She knew he paid a lot more for the teleport than what she paid him for it. Yet, he didn't want anything else and wanted to simply leave. That went against all her plans.
Rean stopped for a moment and looked back, confused... or so he pretended to be. "What is it?"
"This..." The Old Woman's head worked lightning fast, trying to think about a reason. In the end, she simply settled for the simplest one. "I can't accept this. You must let me pay you for the help. Please, come to my clan with me. I need to entertain you at the very least."
Rean shook his head. "No need. We are in a little bit of a hurry, so we will take our leave."
It was then that the woman had an idea. "Then... what is sir looking on this region of the humanoid territories? I was born and lived here my entire life, so I can definitely help you if you need something special."
Rean glanced at Kentucky while communicating with Divine Sense. 'See?'
Kentucky nodded. 'Yeap. Still, if we just fly away, she won't be able to catch us, and we won't get involved in any problems. What do you want to do?'
Rean pondered for a moment and smiled back at the Old Woman. "In fact, we are indeed in need of something. We are looking for a free region where weaker humans could establish themselves. Somewhere around 3000 of them, all at the Soul Transformation Realm or below."
The Old Woman quickly clapped her hands. "Great! Then you must definitely come with me. The territory of my clan spans several tens of thousands of kilometers. You can find some villages at the borders of our territory where Demon Beasts aren't much different than the level you mentioned your people have. Some 3000 extra won't even be a drop in the ocean for a place like my clan."
"Will they be treated as equals?" Rean asked back. "I don't need any special treatment. I just need them to have a place to live and cultivate in peace, being able to go out to hunt or travel as they wish."
The woman nodded once again. "But of course! So, come, come! Just follow me!"
Kentucky and Rean looked at each other and nodded before looking back at her. "Very well. Lead the way."
For Rean and Kentucky, finding such a place would be fairly easy at their level. Still, Rean wanted to make it look like the woman was the one bringing them over instead of him asking to go with her himself. Since he can deal with both the woman's true intention and the population of Sesame's village, then all the better.
The woman didn't leave the formations guild, though. Instead, she went to another teleportation room a few hundred meters away. "Here, sirs. My clan is quite a big one in these surroundings, so we have our personal Teleport Formation in this Sitiwe City."
As soon as she entered the room, two cultivators blocked their paths. "Only members of the Jikli Clan and authorized personnel can use-"
However, they didn't even have the chance to finish talking before the Old Woman took a token out of her Spatial Ring.
Seeing that token, both men immediately bowed. "Sorry for the interruption. We can activate the teleport formation at any time."
The Old Woman nodded. "Then prepare it. Me and my friends here have business in the clan."
As Rean and Kentucky entered the formation, Rean took the opportunity to ask. "Now that I think about it, I haven't asked your name yet. I'm Yean, and this Demon Beast on my side is Tuck."
The Old Woman smiled and answered. "You can call me Viviane, Viviane Jikli. I'm the daughter of one of the high elders of my clan. His name is Eagon Jikli."
Rean and Kentucky had never heard that name before. "Well, perhaps we will meet him one day."
Suddenly, the old woman's body began to shine as her features changed. Neither Rean nor Kentucky were the least bit surprised. With their level, they had noticed the moment they saw her that the Old Woman's appearance wasn't her real one, especially someone as good with body transformation abilities as Rean. "So that's what you truly look like, uh?" Rean said with a calm smile.
She could be anything but old. Well, considering her cultivation, she was probably over a hundred already. Nonetheless, her appearance and cultivation gave her the appearance of a woman in her early twenties instead. "Sorry for hiding it from you. When alone in an unfamiliar territory, concealing one's identity is often a safe choice."
Kentucky and Rean nodded and didn't ask anymore. The next moment, the formation activated, and the trio disappeared.
