Chapter 2276 Quickie

Rui's eyebrows furrowed as his eyes lit up at the mention of the G'ak'arkan Tribe. It had been a while since the topic had earned his attention. However, the fact that Master Ceeran had mentioned that the Martial Union was considering enlisting their Martial power in a war of this scale could only mean...

"They... got a Master?" Rui's eyes widened.

Master Ceeran glanced at Rui with a quizzical look. "I suppose you haven't really been following up on their development after we left the island."

"...Not at all, actually, I didn't really have the opportunity to. After we returned, I trained for the Shionel Dungeon and only returned to the Kandrian Empire after, I believe, eight years after having been chased out of the Shionel Confederation by Chairman Deacon."

He didn't have the time to care about the tribe when he spent most of his time getting stronger so that he could kill Chairman Deacon.

"Ah yes, you did go through all that immediately after your return home from Vilun Island." Master Ceeran recollected memories of old. "They happened so long ago that it feels it was part of a different era. Regardless, let me fill you up. About a decade after we left, Senior K'Mala broke through to the Master Realm."

Rui's eyes lit up with surprise. "But I believe that Vilun Island had never even gotten close to having any of their Martial Seniors to Masters."

"That's true," Master Ceeran nodded. "The concept of systems of thought and Martial Minds did not even exist on Vilun Island. They had no idea that the Upper Realms even existed. According to our analysts, it was extremely unlikely that they would ever break through to the Master Realm."

"Then..."

"...Hm, are you also planning to go as a part of the Martial Union's war enlisting mission?"

"Yes," Master Ceeran nodded. "If I'm going there, I might as well go and complete some important work for the war. After all, the reason that we haven't already recruited her is because we need to send a Master to gain her respect."

"I see..." Rui fell into thought. "I have a proposal."

Master Ceeran turned towards him with an intrigued look. "Are you interested in coming?"

Rui nodded. "I have a rapport with her. We had a really good relationship all those years ago, and she most likely feels a lot of gratitude towards me for helping her break through to the Master Realm. With those two, I am pretty sure I can convince her to aid our war efforts within a single day of negotiations."

"A single day is remarkably quick. I suppose you plan on treating this as a quick errand to do before you move on to more serious diplomatic efforts?" Master Ceeran raised an eyebrow. "The Kandrian Empire cannot afford to waste your diplomatic efforts for a single Master."

Rui was the ideal diplomat, considering his Martial power and political power, as well as his proficiency and experience with diplomacy.

"It won't take too long," Rui reassured him. "I just want to see how the seed of thought I planted in her many years has evolved. I wonder what she has done with the Pathfinder technique after all this time and how strong she is. If she's too weak, then it might not be worth bringing her in."

Rui looked forward to going to one of the more interesting endeavors in his life and seeing how things had changed since he last knew them. Hopefully, he could also return to the Kandrian Empire with another Master in addition to satisfying his Martial curiosity.
