Novel Name : Death… And Me
Death… And Me Chapter 140 - Why Change?
Chapter 140 - Why Change?
"Your perception is much better than I thought."
Roan wasn't surprised to see her here, though.
"Amanda, right? Is there something you need?"
Amanda Rosenvil, the same female disciple that used Roan's idea after he talked with Ria. Ever since that day, Roan didn't leave her mind. Of course, the reason for that was obviously the changes he proposed to Ria. But above all, it was the fact that he could tell the problem on the meridians on their waists, something that they couldn't figure out so far.
"You know very well why I came. How did you find the problem in our sword skills? Tell me."
For half a second, Roan looked at the same corner Amanda came from. He then shrugged his shoulders before saying.
"For me, it is effortless to see such flaws as long as the cultivation difference isn't too big. I'm already at the peak of the Initial Stage of the Foundation Establishment, while that girl called Ria was at the start of the Late Stage. Our cultivation wasn't even two entire small realms of difference, so I could tell where the problem was."
"We both know that you used it after. Ria and another girl also applied the fix I told you later. Since everything is fine, why did you come?"
Amanda narrowed her eyes. Roan really looked no more than 11 or 12 years old. However, the feeling she got from him was that he was much older than that. Well, Amanda is only 14 this year, so she isn't that much older to start with. Yet, the feeling Amanda got was that she was talking with one of the elders of the Sect instead. Besides, there was one thing she was suspicious about. The incident of the underwear stealing. Considering the Malaka was going through the Spiritual Rebirth at that time, could it be that the twins had something to do with it?
"Indeed, we did apply your suggestion, and it played very well. What baffles me is, why would you help us? I know that many of you men like to show off in front of our Blue Orchid Female Disciples. However, different from the others, I don't feel like you are like them. If anything, you probably couldn't care less about our existence."
Amanda had been a member of the Blue Orchid for over 5 years already. She joined when she was only 9. From 11 to 12 ahead, she got used to the male disciples' eyes around the same age as her from the other factions. One could say that she got quite experienced with it. However, Roan was too young. Also, he didn't give her the same kind of feeling at all.
"Oh?! And why would you say that about me?"
Amanda snorted.
"Am I wrong?"
Roan chuckled as he shook his head.
"You aren't entirely wrong, but there is one girl there that I do have some connection with. Anyway, you probably know that already, so I won't jump into details."
Roan pondered a bit and then continued.
"Let's just say that if you are to keep those flaws, it could have affected Malaka's training while there. Since you got it partially repaired, it should be good for Malaka too. Anyway, there is no need to thank me."
Roan could tell
Amanda felt like beating Roan already. His attitude was just...
"Why should I thank you? You said what you wanted, no one of our Blue Orchid Faction asked for your help."
Roan nodded.
"Exactly! That's why I said there is no need to thank me. I did that because I wanted it. If you came here just to say that you won't thank me, then we are of the same mind. We can now follow our own paths."
Suddenly, another girl came out of the shadows. It turned out that it was Ria, the girl Roan fought against. Roan, of course, wasn't the least bit surprised by that either. Even after Amanda came out, Roan still felt her presence there.
Ria approached Amanda nervously.
"Senior sister, we didn't come here to fight, right?"
Amanda's mouth twitched a bit, but she knew that Ria was right. It's just that because of Roan's attitude, she couldn't bring herself to say the words she wanted to. In the end, the encounter reached an awkward silence.
Roan then turned around while saying.
"Well, if that's all, then I'm taking my leave. Make sure to treat Malaka properly. Farewell."
"Wait!"
Amanda bit her lips and finally began to ask what she really wanted.
"You were able to tell that the way we used our meridians in our waist to attract the wind element was wrong. That it couldn't be fixed, and the knees change was just to help make the flaws left behind harder to be exploited. If that's the case, does it mean that you know how to fix the problem?"
Amanda's cheeks and ears were completely red with embarrassment. It was even worse than that day when Roan sent her a Spiritual Sense Message on the arena.
Roan stopped his steps and looked behind. He noticed she definitely hated asking for help from outsiders, just like Malaka said. After all, she carried the Blue Orchid pride with her.
Roan chuckled a little before asking.
"And what if I know?"
Amanda was taken aback. Only then she remembered a crucial fact.
'That's right, he isn't like the others who will do everything to catch our attention. He simply doesn't care about our appearances at all.'
"Let's... Let's make a trade! You teach Ria and me how to fix the problems on our swordplay and meridians, and we will help with something else you need."
Roan's interest was finally picked.
"Anything?"
Amanda and Ria felt a chill on their backs.
"As... As long as it is within our abilities. But you better not go overboard. What if I'm wrong, and you are really a pervert like the others? Wouldn't we be throwing ourselves at the tiger's mouth?"
Roan was speechless.
"I didn't know that the Blue Orchid Faction's female disciples had such dirty minds..."
Amanda and Ria were taken aback. Their faces became even redder! That's right, Roan never said anything about that kind of topic.
"That's..."
However, Roan didn't have the patience to keep entertaining the two brats, so he went straight to the point.
"Leaving your mind aside, I do have something I want. I need a free passage into the Blue Orchid Faction to visit Malaka whenever Rean or I wish. Of course, we don't mind being accompanied by another of your disciples at that time. You don't know this, but we promised Malaka's parents to take care of her, and I intend to keep that promise."
Amanda and Ria dropped their heads in embarrassment once more. In the end, what he wanted has nothing to do with the two of them. Amanda couldn't help but think.
'Could it be that I'm the perverted one?'
She quickly shook her head and agreed with Roan's request.
"Cough, cough... That's fine. Our Blue Orchid Faction is usually strict for visits. Still, it's not like we prohibit anyone from entering as long as they have permission. However, it's just like you said. Every time you come inside, you will need to be accompanied by a disciple to make sure you won't do anything else while you are there. That's a female faction/district, after all."
Roan nodded.
"That's fine. As long as we can talk with Malaka, that will be enough."
Roan took the chance to pretend that he didn't know what was happening with Malaka.
"By the way, it has already been an entire month since Malaka entered your Blue Orchid District/Faction. Still, she hasn't come out even once to visit us. Since that's the case, can I go there now to see how she is faring?"
Amanda narrowed her eyes. It really didn't seem that Roan knew about the underwear incident.
'Well, to avoid all the elders of our Blue Orchid Faction with a cultivation at the Initial Stage of the Foundation Establishment would really be ridiculous. Perhaps, I'm only thinking too much.
"She is in a mission at the moment. She probably won't finish it before another month has gone by."
Roan seemed to get puzzled by that answer.
"A mission that takes over a month for a new disciple? What kind of mission is it? Also, how dangerous?"
Amanda shook her head.
"I'm not allowed to talk about it. However, you don't need to worry. I can guarantee that she will come back safely."
Roan nodded.
"I'll believe you for the time being. From what I heard, the Blue Orchid Faction/District isn't the type to say empty words."
Roan then put his hand inside his back, pretending to take something from inside. However, he was retrieving two books from the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm instead.
He then threw the two books at the girls before saying.
"This is my Death Sword Style Manual. Give up your sword style and change to this one."
Amanda and Ria were taken aback once more.
"Why would we change Sword Styles?"
Roan snorted before speaking as if stating a fact.
"Because your current ones are a PIECE OF SHIT!"
