Chapter 2903: Offer
After a while, Didi allowed everyone to return to their own homes. However, just as Clansto was about to leave with Rean and Roan, he called them. "Just a moment, I need to talk to you, Clansto."
Clansto was puzzled but nodded. Rean and Roan obviously stayed with him since it was most likely related to the two of them.
In the living room of Didi's residence, Didi took out a scroll and passed it to Clansto. "Clansto, Rean's talent far surpassed my imagination. You did a great job by sheltering him after they got lost, so now he is considered part of our Sansome Village."
Clansto patted Rean's head and smiled at Didi. "Thank you, chief. I didn't teach Rean anything. It seems like he learned to fight back in his own home. I've seen Rean and Roan sparing with each other near the river close to my house. Roan doesn't seem to be any weaker, just so that you know."
"Wait! Really?!" Didi looked at Roan, surprised and even more excited. "Just one second..." He quickly left the room and returned a few minutes later. Clansto couldn't see it, but Didi was carrying that same green crystal that appeared over the arenas during the competition. Not only that, but another kid, someone in the second stage of the Body Transformation Realm, was with him. "Roan, right? Do me a favor. This is my nephew, Julius. Can you do a quick spar with him?"
Rean looked at Roan after hearing that request. 'It is up to you. You can pretend you are weak, or you can try to get another stone. Just like you said before, Didi most likely has a few more of those Werdlem Stones kept in reserve in case he needs them.'
Roan pondered a bit. He was indeed planning to stay in the shadows and let Rean be the focus of attention. But then again, it wouldn't be a good idea to show that he can control Spiritual Energy without a Werdlem Stone on his body. 'Whatever. I'll finish this fast.'
"Alright," Roan nodded, still with his apathetic expression.
Didi was obviously satisfied. "You can fight right here. Don't worry about the furniture or anything else."
"Uncle," Julius couldn't help but feel it wasn't right. "He is younger than me and hasn't cultivated yet. Is this really fine?"
Didi nodded. "Don't worry. I don't need him to win against you. I just need to see what he is capable of. Don't hold back, understood?"
Julius had his doubts, but Didi was the Village Chief, so he could only agree. "Alright."
Didi used his Spiritual Energy to push all the furniture away from the center of the room. "Alright, you can start-"
*Bang, Pow, Zush, Crash...*
Rean looked at that and sighed while shaking his head. 'You truly don't know how to hold back...'
Roan glanced at Julius, who was already unconscious on the ground. 'He is alive and has no permanent damage. If this is not holding back, I don't know what it is.'
Didi and Clansto's mouths were open wide open. If Rean's display was already impressive, Roan's one was absolutely ridiculous.
Didi quickly used his Spiritual Energy to help Julius. Julius was indeed unconscious, but Didi could tell with his Spiritual Energy Julius wasn't in any danger. It's just that it was quite a bad beating.
"Is this enough?" Roan finally asked.
Didi looked at Roan. However, a moment later, the green crystal shined once again, and it was as intense as when it shined for Rean. Clansto didn't know what was happening or where the light was coming from, but Didi definitely understood. "It's enough, it is absolutely enough. Hahaha!"
"Someone, come and take my nephew away," Didi asked, and one of his subordinates left with Julius's unconscious body a moment later. Following that, Didi used his Spiritual Energy to bring the furniture back to its place. There wasn't anything broken. It was as if nothing had even happened in the first place.
Everyone sat once again, and Didi began to talk. "Clansto, don't even waste time asking about the light. It is something related to the Gondel Clan. I can't talk about it."
Clansto took a deep and cold breath. "Gondel Clan... Yes, I understand, Chief."
Didi smiled. He was friends with Clansto, so it helped a lot. "Anyway, Roan, I'm going to give you a Werdlem Stone as well. It is pretty obvious that you have what it takes to infuse one into your body. However, that is not the real reason I asked you guys to stay behind. Instead, I need to talk about what is about to happen."
He continued. "In the next few days, probably tomorrow, the Gondel Clan will come to fetch Rean and Roan. This has never happened to our Sansome Village. The reason is because of the prowess they demonstrated during their fights."
Clansto was shocked. "They... They will be able to join the Gondel Clan?! That Gondel Clan that controls our Travil Region?!"
Didi confirmed. "Yes, they will. However, I need to ask Rean and Roan for a favor." Rean and Roan could guess what it was, but they didn't say anything; they just waited to hear the request. "Rean, Roan, if anyone asks, you must say you were part of our Sansome Village. This is very important."
"First, saying that you are from our Village will prevent trouble for you two when you join the Gondel Clan. After all, you will be registered as part of our people. Second, that is the best way for you two to acquire power as cultivators. Clansto mentioned you two wanted to look for your homes, right? There is no better chance than this one. What do you say? Would you do that for us?"
Rean and Roan looked at Clansto right after.
Clansto, on the other hand, just laughed and patted Rean and Roan's heads. "Hahaha! There is no need for you two to worry about me. It will be a little sad to have you two leave, especially since you helped me a lot. However, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity. Do not mind me. Go ahead and find your home."
Finally, Rean and Roan nodded. "Alright."
