Chapter 128 - It's a Lie

Finally, for the first time in two days, Rean was able to go back to his room once more. Rean didn't even cultivate that night. Instead, he went straight to bed and slept like a rock.

The next morning, Rean went directly to the Demon Beast faction and started his day taking care of them. As for healing Demon Beasts, there was no need to do it all the time. It's not like all of the Demon Beasts were injured or anything to start with. Elder Javiu only showed the worst cases and put Rean back to the regular job of a disciple on the Demon beasts Duty after he was done.

The days quickly passed. The Snow Crane seemed to have got a like for Rean, so Javiu also put him in charge of the building she stayed in. Of course, the Snow Crane was allowed to take flight anytime she wanted. But as a tamed Demon Beast, she would come back after a few hours or a day at most.

As for elder Tiria, Rean hasn't seen her ever since that night. Well, he felt that to be better since he didn't know how he should act in front of her.

Just like that, his week in the Demon Beast faction/area was over. When he collected his Sect Points in the only office building there, Rean found out that he got above 400 points instead of 350 that he was expecting. The disciple in charge told him that he received a bonus for healing other demon beasts around too.

Rean was more than happy with the extra points, so he immediately returned to the Iron and Blood District to talk with Lenna. Roan's duty had also finished a few days ago, so he went there as well to discuss it.

"Hm? You want me to challenge Malaka?"

Rean nodded.

"We can't contact her, so we need an excuse to bring her out of the Blue Orchid District. Don't worry, you can simply give up when the battle starts. As for us, we will provide you the points to do the challenge. As you know, she is our little sister, and we promised her family to keep an eye on her. We can't challenge her ourselves because our cultivation levels are too different."

Lenna looked at Rean and Roan before pondering for a moment. In the end, she nodded.

"Okay. If I can simply give up, then it is fine to do so. When do you want it?"

Rean and Roan looked at each other before looked back at her.

"It's still early, so it would be good if we go now. Do you have anything else to do?"

Lenna shook her head.

"Other than the morning exercises and cultivation during the day, I'm pretty much free. My duty in the Alchemist building only starts next week."

With that, the three of them went to the Arenas. Of course, Rean first transferred 200 points to Lenna so that she could issue the challenge. Due to the number of disciples in the outer Sect, quite a few of them sparred here, so no one found it weird that someone was issuing a challenge.

The disciple behind the counter passed the information and then waited. A few minutes later, they received a message.

"Inna Malaka seems to be in a mission. She can't receive the challenge."

The twins' narrowed their eyes.

"When is she coming back?"

The disciple shrugged his shoulder.

"No idea. Each mission has a different duration. Sometimes the missions are issued to the disciple on purpose so that they will gain more experience outside. Anyway, you will need to wait until she is back."

Roan then asked.

"Is it possible to see which mission was taken by her?"

"It depends. Once you take a mission, you can choose to leave the information open so that others know where you went if necessary. Or you can ask to hide it if you have a reason to not wanting others to know about your movements. Anyway, you will need to check in the mission hall. However, since the girl you are looking for is from the Blue Orchid District, chances are that she hid her information."

Rean and Roan didn't need to think much to understand why. A lot of disciples pay attention to this unusual faction, especially men. By hiding the information, it would prevent male disciples from going after the Blue Orchid disciples. It is basically so the girls there can prevent harassment.

"Thank you."

Rean, Roan, and Lenna then returned to the Iron and Blood district.

On the way, however, Rean asked them to pass by the Blue Orchid District. Roan and Lenna didn't understand why since they couldn't enter, but they agreed nonetheless.

After that, the twins thanked Lenna and returned to their own rooms. Lenna wanted to give Rean his points back, but Rean asked her to keep it for now in case he needs something similar later.

Rean and Roan entered their room and began to talk through the Soul Connection.

'It's a lie.'

Roan narrowed his eyes.

'You sure?'

Rean nodded.

'You might not know this, but Life Energy in each person is different. After spending so many years with Malaka, I know her Life Energy very well. It's like a Digital Imprint. Of course, it isn't at the level that you and I are at. Even after going all the way to Majorias City, I could still tell the exact direction you were located at. With Malaka, however, I need to be very close to feel her Life Energy. It would be the same thing with Alanda, Father, and Mother. I spend a very long time with them, after all.'

Roan understood what he meant.

'I see, that's why you asked to pass by the Blue Orchid District. Their district is the smallest one, so you should be close enough to feel her presence. Anyway, does it mean you can feel all the life forces around at the moment?'

Rean immediately shook his head.

'No. Unless they are just a few meters away from me, I can't feel other people's Life Energy presence. But in that case, it is much better to rely on Spiritual Sense since it goes a lot further. Malaka, Alanda, Mother, and Father are special due to the long time I spent with them. How can I saw this? It's as if I created a very delicate link between their Life Energy and mine. Still, I can only feel that around 2 kilometers at most. More than that, and I won't be able to tell anything.'

Sister Orb then added.

[Rean is not lying. The same way Roan is the epitome of 'death,' Rean can be considered the 'life' one. It isn't strange at all that he can do such a thing. But the main reason would definitely be because of his Cultivation Technique, though. His control over the Light Element reached this point thanks to that.]

Rean nodded and continued.

'Anyway, I can tell that Malaka is definitely inside the Sect at the moment. Or to be more precise, inside the Blue Orchid District.'

Roan pondered a bit before mentioning.

'It's still not guaranteed. There are no rules saying that a mission inside the Sect can't be issued. In fact, you can really find a few ones if you want. Maybe Malaka is taking one of those.'

Rean couldn't help but ask. Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #...-and-me_17340518006576905/it's-a-lie_48062120792740779 for visiting.

'Do you think it is the case?'

Roan shook his head.

'If I were to guess, no. But we need to confirm it first.'

Rean and Roan were not in the same room, but they could tell that they had the same idea.

'Seems like we have no other choice.'
