Chapter 2898: If You Say So...



Rean shared his memory with Roan so that both would be aware of the whole situation.

'I suppose it does...' Roan responded, his attention on the unique Spiritual Energy he was trying to harness while on the River's side. 'You've probably sensed it too. This is indeed Spiritual Energy, but there's always been something... different about it.'

Rean agreed with him while he helped Clansto gather more firewood. 'Indeed. If it was normal Spiritual Energy, we should have been able to cultivate from the very start. I can't help but wonder if the Werdlem has such control over their cultivation energies over the entire empire.'

'It doesn't matter,' Roan spoke as he got up. Now that he knew the stone was necessary, he didn't intend to stay by the river doing nothing. 'I'm going to take a look around the village and see if I can find anything. You should try and ask Clansto if he knows how to get more of the stones.'

Rean didn't need to hear that twice. "Senior Clansto, do you think I will be able to cultivate as well?"

"Maybe?" Clansto didn't completely block off the possibility. "We receive four Werdlem Stones every year, and then we make a little competition between the young generation to see who will receive one."

Rean narrowed his eyes. "But would Chief Didi allow outsiders like Roan and I to take part in it? I feel like the others would find it unfair that newcomers could have a chance to acquire the stones. Besides, my brother and I intend to try to find our home again in the future."

Clansto understood that. "I know. But you don't need to worry. You and your brother are quite different from each other. However, you don't strike me as ungrateful people. I'm sure you will make up for it one day when you two grow up and get strong."

Well, Rean couldn't deny that. Clansto and his wife had done a lot for them and had been very patient. Rean even felt some remorse for lying to them until now. "I'm definitely making it up for you, senior Clansto. My brother definitely isn't different, although he is annoying. You have my word!"

"Hmph!" Didi looked at Roan and snorted. "You are already the third one this week alone. Every time we approache the Werdlem Stone competition, you kids try to sneak around, trying to gain some advantage or steal a stone for yourselves."

*Pah!*

Didi then kicked Roan's butt, sending him flying out of the fence and into the street. "Go home, kid. If I get you here again, a single kick isn't the only thing I'm going to do to you."

Some of the residents in the surrounds couldn't help but laugh. No doubt they were used to that scene already.

"And there goes another one."

"Come on, it is funny when Didi takes them. It's tradition!"

"Hahaha! Good luck next time, kid!"

Roan sighed and shook off the dirt on his clothes before walking away. Didi's cultivation wasn't too shabby for Roan not to notice him, and the man was alert about invasions. 'Guess he is the chief for a reason...'

'Hahaha!' Rean laughed through their connection. He saw everything. 'And here I thought you would never get caught in such a low-level place.'

'Shut up!' Roan retorted. Not even death was worse than being mocked by Rean. 'The guy obviously has experience. Whatever. We can wait until the stones arrive and win one.'

Rean mentally shrugged. 'If you say so...'
