Rean would be lying if he said he didnt expect something like that. Well, that depends on the condition.

Libraia continued, Since she will try to get accepted by some of the Core Elders of the Jhiod Sect, I want her to go to my Uncle Sam.

Uncle Sam? Are you part of the U.S army? Rean asked somewhat absentmindedly.

Libraia didnt have a clue as to what he meant by that, though. U.S Army? Whats that?

Rean quickly shook his head, saying, Its just a joke. Ignore my previous words. Rean then changed the topic before Libraia became interested again. So, who is this Uncle Sam?

Isnt that obvious? Libraia asked in response. Hes part of my clan. The Jhiod Sect is enormous, and it has several factions inside it. Erlas power will definitely be a boon to my clans influence inside our own faction. Also, my Uncle Sam just so happens to be an aquatic demon beast, so hes the best suited to take her under his wings or fins now that I think about it

Rean shrugged his shoulders, saying, Seems good enough for me. Ill talk with Erla later, but I dont see a reason for her to refuse. If anything, its even better than she can already be accepted by a Core Elder before we even arrive there.

Libraia was happy to hear that. Then, we have a deal.

Before Libraia could tell Tilte she wouldnt accept his offer, Rean asked something else. By the way, whats the name of your clan? Iglet and Govin seem to be very respectful to you because of that.

Thats obvious, Libraia answered. We are the Yume Clan, one of the top clans inside the Jhiod Sect. Among the sect masters of the past, two of them were part of my Yume Clan. Well, thats not the case at the moment, though. In any case, we have a very strong influence there.

If anything, Rean became even more joyous after hearing that. Good to know. Well, I guess this really is a deal, then.

With that, Libraia stopped her conversation with Tilte. While Libraia exchanged information with Rean, she was also negotiating a price to take Erla out. However, she had no need for that anymore. Alright, you can stop already. Something tells me that this Erla girl is quite important. With that said, Ill take a look at her myself later. Though, I cant help her pass the test either, so you can try and stop her with your Sturgeons if you can. Only those who pass the twelve tests in a row can join Jhiod Sect.

This Tilte was taken aback to hear that. The negotiation seemed to be going well, so why would Libraia suddenly stop? Immediately, he thought about something and looked at Rean. However, Rean had his head turned elsewhere as he talked with Roan. It was as if he wasnt even paying attention to the negotiation. Fanso confirmed he signed the contract, so he shouldnt be able to help her at all. However, its still too much of a coincidence.

Tilte then returned his attention to Libraia, offering, Lady Libraia, I can truly pay a very good price. I can even put in a Water Element Rank Six Divine Stone in the mix.

All the elders looked at Tilte when they heard that. That was the same Divine Stone that Reans group found in the mine back in the Pol Continent. In the end, Havek got that for himself since it would be very useful for his cultivation.

Libraia had to admit that Tiltes offer was tempting. She would have a hard time getting such an item in her hands, even with her clans connections. Of course, she definitely wouldnt accept it if Tilte used that Divine Stone to ask if they could help some of his descendants pass the test. If it was found out that she accepted bribery to get someone in the sect, she would be done for. However, if it was a price to get someone out of the test, that wouldnt be a problem. Jhiod Sect definitely didnt lack talents.

Well, she didnt consider that offer for long as she knew what Erla was capable of once she grew up. A single Rank Six Water Element Divine Stone wouldnt be worth Erlas power. Now Im even more interested in that female demon beast called Erla.

Libraia looked at Iglet right after, saying, Send our guest off. As I said before, if you want to stop her, you can have your Sturgeons attack her during the next tests. Theres no rule stopping them from doing so. However, no one here will accept your offer.

Iglet and Govin couldnt help but send Libraia a Divine Sense message after hearing that. Are you sure? Its just one demon beast in exchange for the Divine Stone. Its definitely worth it.

Libraia shook her head, telling them, Since I said no, then its a no. Also, you better not try to accept his offer behind my back. If I find out you did anything to stop the female demon beast from completing the test, Ill have your heads planted outside the Sect Recruitment Building the next day.

Govin and Iglet felt a chill on their backs after that. They knew that although Libraia was an easy-going woman, she was definitely a woman of her word. No Rank Six Divine Stone would be worth risking their own lives. Fine. We still think its a waste, but we will do as you say.

As much as Tilte tried, he was still sent out of the sect building. In the end, his attempt to get the Jhiod Sects recruitment elders help failed miserably. It must have been those twins! Everything was going smoothly, and then suddenly, Libraia changed her mind. I dont know how, but the contract definitely isnt working for them.

Tilte believed that even more since Fansos group had not found Erla and Min in any of the previous two tests. With what just happened in the negotiation, Tilte was pretty sure that Rean had helped Erla and Min. I can only count on Fanso and the others now.
