213 How do you call our Universe? (1/2)
Ruik couldn't help but ask.
”Are you being serious? With so many good options you selected me?”
Krune nodded.
”Of course. I'm sure that they will eventually reach a high realm with their dedication. But if I don't keep an eye on you, what will happen with the face of our rainbow sect? A sect where all the members are stronger than the Sect Master? That can not happen, right?”
Ruik couldn't help but exclaim.
”Then why don't you select one of them as Sect Master? It's not like it has to be me.”
Krune then looked behind and asked.
”Anyone here wants to be the Sect Master?”
The answer was unanimous.
”No!”
Krune looked back at Ruik and said.
”There you go.”
Ruik's mouth twitched.
”Lakin is going to take my place for hundreds or even thousands of years. Isn't it better to simply make him the Sect master, then?”
Lakin was the one to answer this one.
”I'm just taking it as an experience. How could I rob the real Sect Master of his position? Don't worry, I won't betray the Sect like this.”
Ruik was already feeling like crying.
”Do I really have to go?”
Krune looked at him and said.
”Well, I won't force you, of course. But out of everyone, I wanted you to come with me. Are you really going to refuse?”
Ruik then received a Divine Sense message from Krune.
”Out of everyone, you are the one with the most neutral position. If I selected someone else, I doubt that the others would complain or blame me in any way. Still, some will think: 'What or why didn't I select them?' You are the only one in our group that can make no one feel that way after being selected. I really put a lot of thought over it, and that's the kind of position that you have in everyone's mind.”
Ruik didn't expect that he was seen like that. In the end, he just sighed and accepted his fate.
”Fine, once I get to the Divine Path Realm, I guess I can sleep as much as I want.”
Lakin put one hand on his head and said.
”That is considering that you will ever get at that Realm. Even I have passed you already. Let's see what you can do with this personality of yours.”
Ruik didn't care about that, though.
”That's only a temporary thing.
Ao then asked Krune.
”Is there someone else going with you?”
Krune nodded.
”Sooner or later, you would find out. But I hope you keep quiet for the time being. I'm going with Feifei too. That's because, as I told you before, we have that thing about destiny energy not moving with our actions.”
Ao and everyone else remembered the day that Krune told them about it. For some reason, divination didn't work on him, and it seemed like it didn't work on Feifei either.
”I see, I understand. By the way, if you can bring someone, she probably can too. Who is she selecting?”
”I have no idea. I guess I will know by tomorrow anyway.”
Krune then spent the rest of the time chatting with everyone and doing whatever had to be done.
The next day. Krune was back into his Master's residence. Wang Mei and Lani where there already too. Beside him, Ruik had a gloomy face as if he was going for his execution.
Feifei was also there, and beside her, there was another girl with pure black hair. When Krune felt her aura, he knew that she was a demon beast. She wasn't that beautiful but not ugly either. Common was definitely the best statement.
As for her race? She could be said to be extremely common too. That's because she wasn't anything else other than a Demon Crow! That's correct, a very common animal that could be found almost anywhere in this Universe.
Krune then sent Feifei a Divine Sense message asking about.
”Oh, her? Her name is Tiane, and she had been following me ever since I was young. I've known her for even longer than you. Right, let me tell you how it became like this, I'm sure you will like it.”
Feifei then sent a Divine Sense message to explain everything to both Krune and Ruik.
Usually, Demon Crows don't cultivate to the point where they get sentience. At most, they would reach the 2nd or 3rd stage of the Qi Condensation, they are even weaker than that Four Winged Crow that attacked Krune back then.
Due to a coincidence, Feifei was able to see Tiane's future. There was nothing impressive in it. In fact, it was quite bad. According to what Feifei saw, she was supposed to be killed by a stronger beast and eaten after that. Quite a common fate for a lot of animals. Still, Feifei as a kid, couldn't bear letting it happen.
