Chapter 315: You know the Wei

Chapter 315: You know the Wei

Wei seems pretty eager to give her thoughts on the situation.

It was quite easy to figure out who you were. With one event after another popping up, all centered on a new individual with dark skin, who smells amazing, there really wasnt any question of who is doing this.

she has a point there. But, if its that easy to tell, then does that mean that everyone already knows?

She gives a smirk.

The question everyone really wants to know is why?

After everything today, I'm not at all in the mood to play too many games. I need to know more about her intentions.

Before I say anything toward that, why have you been calling me benefactor?

At my direct words, she seems to straighten up a bit.

Of course, its because of your shining graciousne-

Wei. Dont go overboard in your explanations. Just speak plainly. Theres no need to put on a personality around me.

She seems to pause for a moment, considering my words. When she speaks again, her voice is much more serious and normal.

Right. Sorry. And thank you.

Thats part of why I call you Benefactor. I dont know how but I feel like you understand me.

Adding to that, you helped me have an internal realization of the situation I was in. One where no one had caught me before then, but even as you did, with all that you were risking, you showed me the right path. I only found out later how bad it could have been if you didnt.

She falls silent. Biting her lips, seemingly in thought.

The soft rolling of the wheels through the street, fill the silence.

Which also makes me check for others around that might be listening. To which the answer is a surprising, no.

Her voice comes out soon after I check.

I also realized that you giving me the option of leaving or making a contract with you was a way to protect me. To force me out of the lifestyle and the two identities I was caught between. Thinking that kindly for someone is pretty unnatural for most cultivators, without a relationship. Thats why I call you, Benefactor.

Still not totally clear, but I can see where shes coming from. Alright. Next question.

So, why did you join me so easily now, then?

Ah. Well, after all youve done, it felt like the proper thing to do.

shes definitely holding something back.

This also explains why Wei wanted to join me. Considering the amount of information floating around and her belief that it is true, of course, shed jump at the opportunity. The whole reason she was doing the dual identity thing with her abilities was to get into the Foundation Establishment.

Since she already knows that Sister Nuans movement into Nascent Soul was because of my healing, it would only make sense that she would have a better chance if joining me, as well.

As more of the pieces of the picture come together, I ask more clarifying questions about other aspects floating around.

All while using my scan to ask the right ones.

Its only a bit of a challenge keeping her confidence in my knowledge base while still learning what I need. And in this way, I gain quite a bit of information that I can use later.

The time flies by, as we move from subject to subject. All until a few interesting subjects come up in the conversation.

The tournaments later this year will be interesting, as the competing sects will host separate ones again. Theres word that our sect will open a secret realm for the top players for our tournament.

My ears perk up at the words secret realm.

Now, that sounds quite interesting. Because of the realms being 'secret', I can't readily find them with my abilities, like I can with other things. Once I'm inside, the dynamics shift, but the real problem lies in reaching that point.

Hmm, what made this year different?

Well, there are a few reasons, but many of the networks are saying its in response to the top two other rival tournaments' rewards. Of course, we cant normally compete with their level of rewards, but that doesnt mean we can back down from the challenge. Thus, our sect brought out the secret realm to maintain face.

Heh. Even though us and the other sects are all part of the Chiu Continuum, these things never change.

Right.

This Revolving Heavenly Light sect is one sect out of an entire alliance of sects that make up the Chiu Continuum. And we arent even a top sect in it. Just above average for the alliance.

A terrifying thought, considering everything Ive seen.

She answers the unasked question.

Of course, Leigong Pavilion, being the sect at the top, has the most exceptional rewards. Surprisingly, the other high-ranking sect, Jingjiao Temple, has made a good showing for their rewards.

Theres always other tournaments going on nowadays, but these are the only ones that people consider.

She waves a hand dismissively with her following words.

A few more chats with her give me the full layout of rewards for these three tournaments and details on who gets them. Being the Top 1, 2, 4, and 8 cultivators in the tournament.

Theres an interesting note in all of this, though.

The top reward for Leigongs number 1 slot is something quite familiar to me.

A Heavenly Spirit Root. The same kind of item that was part of the Xing familys legacy and increased their spirit roots to absurd levels.

Looks like Ill have to attend the tournament later.

However, I have enough to handle here that I need these things first. We will see what happens after. RêAd lateSt chapters at novelhall.com Only
