Chapter 1445 – The Weakest

It was then that one of the guys intervened, saying, “Who cares? Judging by how easily you destroyed the dummy, it’s obvious that your cultivation doesn’t reflect your real strength.”

Everyone else nodded at the man’s words in agreement. It turns out that even the Transition Realm cultivators couldn’t destroy the dummy as easily as the twins did, so they all thought the twins were part of some big power. In other words, that meant they must have quite some treasures on them. 

Thanks to that, the people calling the twins to join were divided into three groups. Those who didn’t know the path for real but wanted to use the twins’ strength to complement their own. The second were the ones who thought the twins were full of treasures and wanted to lure them into a trap. And the last ones were the real groups with someone who really knew something about the Under Desert Sea and wanted their journey to be smoother with the twins’ help.

However, how would the twins know who was telling the truth or not? Obviously, it was Roan’s time to shine. ‘None of the groups with reasonable strength are telling the truth, at least not fully. Another problem is that the ones who seemed to have some idea are groups with at least one Void Tempering Realm cultivator.’

Rean nodded, saying, ‘Indeed. Even though they might not be lying about knowing some of the routes through that labyrinth, it would be complicated if the Void Tempering Realm cultivators suddenly decide to attack us. If it’s only you and me, we probably can escape. However, we have to carry Luan, Falangia, and Rafatia as well.’

‘It was supposed to be only Luan, but you had to bring the others,’ Roan could not help but say.

Rean shrugged his shoulders as he told him, ‘Come on! Consider it training for the day you travel the world with your kids. I’m sure you want to spread your seeds with Calina, right? This is a great opportunity to get used to protecting people much weaker than you.’

Roan pondered over Rean’s words a bit and nodded. ‘Makes sense.’ Sure enough, Roan always took the most logical thought process, not feeling any hint of emotion about the topic. ‘Protecting one’s offspring is crucial for the development of a group as a whole. Very well, then. I will take it more seriously.’

Rean didn’t get the effect he wanted, but he was already happy that Roan came to terms with Falangia and Rafatia. ‘Now then, since all the groups with high-level cultivators seem to be hiding something…’

Rean and Roan’s eyes suddenly turned in a certain direction. There, they saw a couple who looked pretty much alike, although one was obviously younger. They didn’t try to invite Rean and Roan. However, when the twins arrived at the area where groups were being formed, they seemed to want to call them that but gave up when many other much stronger groups tried the same.

The difference was that Rean and Roan didn’t feel the greed, disdain, or opportunistic looks that the rest of the groups did. If anything, they had very serious expressions.

While the people seemed to fight for having the twins in their group, Rean sent a Divine Sense Message to the couple. ‘Hey there! Do you perhaps know anything about the routes in the Under Desert Sea?’

The two were taken aback and immediately looked in Rean’s direction. However, they also understood the opportunity, so the man immediately nodded slightly. ‘I do. It has something to do with my father, who traversed the Under Desert Sea before.’ He didn’t know if Rean would believe him, so he decided to tell the truth straight away.

Rean then looked at Roan and said, ‘It doesn’t feel like he’s lying. However, you’re better at detecting lies than I am. What do you think?’

Roan agreed with Rean. ‘Not only is he not lying, but he’s also probably terrible at it. I have seen his type quite a few times in my past life, but I have to admit they’re quite rare. Of course, he might just be like that guy we met in the Lost Star Realm and have a lot of experience in fooling others. I’m good at detecting lies, but I’m not omnipotent.’

That was good enough for Rean. ‘Well, that works for me.’

Rean looked back at the couple and continued his Divine Sense messages. ‘Very well, then. We can go together. We have some people we want to bring with us, though. Will that be a problem?’

‘What kind of people?’ the man immediately asked. He didn’t want to be at a disadvantage in this journey since he never knew if the twins would suddenly attack.

‘One woman at the Middle Stage of the Core Formation Realm and two kids at the Foundation Establishment Realm.’

The man and the woman were even more surprised now. ‘Are you really bringing such low-level people with you?’

Rean nodded, telling them, ‘Yes. However, there’s no need for you to worry. My brother and I will be responsible for their protection. If something goes wrong, you can abandon us straight away if you want.’

The couple looked at each other and discussed for a bit before they decided to accept. At the very least, those cultivators wouldn’t cause trouble for them as they were just too weak. ‘Very well.’

Eventually, Rean looked at everyone before saying, “I’m thankful that you all asked us to join your group. Just so you know, many of you sent Divine Sense messages during your arguments, but that shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone here. My brother and I have already decided which group we’ll join, and we will meet them somewhere else, so please excuse us.”

Immediately, the area went silent as everyone wondered which of the strong groups being formed took the twins with them. It made sense that they didn’t want to be discovered as to not generate more problems for themselves.. Well, little did they know that the twins chose one of the weakest teams there.
