Death… And Me Chapter 3014: Dancio's Doubts

Chapter 3014: Dancio's Doubts

Ernan totally didn't expect that. "Se-Senior Dancio. It is pleasure..."
Dancio nodded, not caring too much. "My disciple and grand-disciple already explained to you the reasons for me to not come forward with the Jade Slip they found. You can go back now. Next week, once I've truly finished my research about the recipes, I will bring the Jade Slip to the Clan Master and the other elders to decide what to do."
Ernan quickly nodded. "Yes, yes, yes, of course. I'm leaving now." Ernan didn't waste time and ran out of the room. All his plans to acquire the recipes of such pills and gain Willot's favor have now gone down the drain. He just couldn't understand why Dancio appeared there. Sure, he did some scene in the Formations Hall, but that shouldn't have been enough for Dancio to waste his time checking. 'I need to tell Willot about it.'
In the room, Dancio turned in Kuslau and Rean's direction. "You did well, Kuslau. Had you not called me, you might have found it hard to leave this room without revealing anything."
Rean didn't even know when Kuslau called Dancio, but that didn't matter now. "Errr... nice to meet you, senior Dancio."
Dancio didn't look very kindly in Rean's direction. "Kuslau didn't have enough time to tell me the whole situation, but it seems like he was also tricked by you, am I correct. Choose your next words very wisely. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite."
Roan watched everything. 'I'm far enough. Just jump inside the Dimensional Realm and exit where I am. We can simply leave this shit clan behind.'
Rean shook his head. 'They know my connection with Diliy, so it would be annoying if they came to the World Splitting Sect after me. Let me try to resolve this with a conversation first. By the way, did you do what I asked?'
While Ernan and Kuslau talked, Rean requested Roan to make a Jade Slip with the recipes for the Core Formation and Core and Soul Fusion Realm Breakthrough Pills. That would explain the twins' cultivation realm. It's just that the twins didn't really use the Core and Core and Soul Fusion Realm pills since they had a lot of Spiritual Stones. It was simply faster to breakthrough by using them than spending a lot of time looking for herbs for such pills.
Rean then accessed the Dimensional Realm and pulled out the Jade Slip Roan prepared. He made it look like he got it from his own Spatial Ring. The Jade Slip had those three recipes and a few other more common pills recipes as well. After all, it would be weird if it only had those specific recipes. The Jade Slip had a total of ten recipes, which should be enough. "Here's the Jade Slip we found. Please, take a look."
Dancio used his Spiritual Energy and pulled the Jade Slip in his hand. "Quite an old method of saving information. It had been a while since I last saw one."
Rean knew that, which was good since it made his story more believable. Everything nowadays was saved in their CDs, after all.
Dancio didn't know much about Alchemy, but he could tell the recipes were quite unique. "Hum... I'm pretty sure the names of the herbs aren't correct. There are a lot of them I've never heard about."
Rean expected that already. "Yes. That's why I asked master to let me check his database. I had to compare the effects and appearance of the herbs in the Jade Slip to the ones in the database. That's how my brother and I found the right way to make those pills."
Kuslau confirmed. "He did indeed use my terminal to study Alchemy Content."
"Why haven't you told Kuslau about it?" Dancio asked. If the pills in there were that good, which seemed to be the case since Rean was in the Core and Soul Fusion Realm, then it was truly important.
Rean scratched the back of his head. "They sell very easily. My brother and I simply thought it would be better to concoct and sell them for Spiritual Stones. We made a lot of Spiritual Stone, and that helped our cultivation a lot."
"Hmph! I can see that," Kuslau spoke, seeing Rean's Middle Stage Core and Soul Fusion Realm.
Still, Dancio was skeptical. "And how exactly did you manage to hide your cultivation? That shouldn't be someone at your level can do."
"Check the Jade Slip, senior Dancio," Rean quickly answered. He obviously didn't forget how he released his cultivation in front of them.
Dancio checked the Jade Slip again. At first, he only paid attention the the Breakthrough Pill Recipes. However, there was indeed a pill called 'Energy Suppression Pill' in there. "I see... that explains it."
"However," Dancio released his Spiritual Energy, pressuring Rean. "I am not an idiot to just believe you found this Jade Slip. I will have you sign a Soul Binding Contract. It will state that you must tell the truth, or your soul will be destroyed. So, you better speak now if you are still hiding anything."
Poor Dancio would have never thought that nothing that can affect the soul works on the twins. Naturally, Rean insisted. "I am not lying. My brother and I truly found it near our village."
"Is that so?" Dancio looked at Kuslau, who understood his meaning. In the next second, a Soul Binding Contract was taken out, and Kuslau filled the terms of the contract.
Rean looked at that. Their contracts were a little different from the ones they saw back in Sunkan Planet and the Realm of Gods. Nonetheless, they worked through the same principle, so it didn't matter.
"Sign it and repeat the same words. If you don't fall dead right here, then I will believe you," Dancio ordered.
Rean quickly signed it with his blood and Spiritual Sense. The contract burnt, and its energy entered Rean's forehead.
*Pin!*
[A biding attempt at the soul has been detected.]
[Soul Dummy deployed.]
[Effects nullified.]
Rean looked straight at Dancio and repeated all his words up to this point.
Sure enough, Dancio and Kuslau were taken aback. The fact Rean was completely fine 'proved' he wasn't lying.
"Sigh..." Dancio finally let go of his hostility for Rean. "Alright, I believe you told the truth. However, there is another thing you have to tell me. Where did you learn your sword abilities? Remember, you are still under the contract's effect. If you don't want to die, you better not try to lie now."
Since everyone knew Rean was Asterix, that question was bound to come up sooner or later.
"What else could it be?" Rean asked back. "My brother and I trained against each other a lot! Hahaha!" The funny thing was that Rean wasn't lying. That was truly how he learned all his sword skills.
