229 The Great Ruik Understands (1/2)

Ruik indeed didn't put much thought on it.

\”I see... Now that I think about it, I don't know your name either.\”

The Supervisor felt like giving Ruik a beating but held herself back.

\”Anyway, come with me. I need to talk to you.\”

Ruik didn't have anything else to do at the moment, so he followed the Supervisor into her office.

\”First of all, my name is Tarsa Fila, the supervisor of this branch of the Mission Hall.\”

Ruik introduced himself as well.

\”I'm Ruik, but you know that already.\”

Tarsa nodded and went direct to the point.

\”The thing is, for someone of your cultivation, the missions that you have been doing are all far higher in level. Still, you are having no problem in completing them. For you and the Mission Hall, this is obviously a good thing, but there is a problem. You are a Two-Headed Demon Sneak, right?\”

Ruik nodded.

Tarsa then continued.

\”The issue is, our Riren Planet has a Snake Clan, which is quite famous. There several types of Snake demon beasts that receive the best treatment, missions, techniques, etc. They have noticed your presence and your combat power, so they probably will want you to join their clan.\”

Ruik was taken aback. The majority of snake species are solitary by nature. If Krune hadn't come to him on that day years ago, Ruik would definitely be living alone until now. So it impressed him that the snakes created a clan for themselves. But that wasn't the issue at the moment.

\”It doesn't matter how good my talent is, I'm still in the Core Formation Realm. Why would this Snake Clan even pay attention to me?\”

Ruik felt like something was fishy.

Tarsa explained.

\”That I don't know, but I believe that talent is welcome doesn't matter which realm they are. Now, the problem is the fact that they will definitely ask for you to leave the Mission Hall and go live in their clan territory. As you can imagine, losing good talents is bad for my Branch too. But if I didn't contact you, they would do so sooner or later, so I might as well tell you everything.\”

Tarsa continued.

\”Also, they are quite wealthy, so things like cultivation resources or whatever won't be a problem for you anymore. They are the type that thinks about it as a long time investment.\”

In Ruik's eyes, whether he is part of the Mission Hall or the Snake Clan doesn't matter much for him. As long as this Snake Clan could provide him the resources for his cultivation, that would be fine. The problem is that once he joins this so-called Snake Clan, he probably will be bound to it somehow. Losing his freedom is something that Ruik doesn't want to happen.

\”If I'm not wrong, I will be attached to them and will have to follow their orders if I want all of those benefits, right?\”

Tarsa confirmed.

\”Probably.\”

Also, another issue is that he is supposed to be the 'Rainbow Sect Sect Master,' so he can't simply join another organization. Although he feels like it is troublesome, the fact is that Ruik always liked his position. He really expects to one day return to the Luvile Universe and shows how 'amazing' he had become. He even dreamed about such a scenario before!

\”Hum... You don't need to worry since I don't have any plans to lose my freedom. So if they appear making this request, just tell them that I'm happy with their offer, but I have no intention of joining any Clan at the moment.\”

Tarsa heard that and let out a sigh of relief. Although Ruik's realm is quite low at the moment, she believes that he will enter far higher realms in the future. Since he is registered in her Branch, it will be her and her Branch's glory.

\”Very good. But like I said, the snake clan didn't ask me to invite you, I'm just informing you according to what I know. That means that they will look for you at some point.\”

Ruik heard that and asked.

\”Will they try to force the issue?\”

Tarsa shook her head.

\”I don't think so since we have rules to be followed. But that doesn't mean that they won't try some other methods.\”

Ruik pondered a bit and then nodded.

\”Alright. Overthinking about it now won't help. I will see what happens once they show before me. Thanks for the advice.\”

Tarsa then asked another thing.

\”Now that it is dealt with, I want to ask you about Wulia Feier and Krune. They have combat power higher than yours, but they have never done a single mission ever since they got their qualification. What happened to them?\”

Ruik wasn't surprised by that question. If anything, he was wondering why it took so long for her to ask it.

\”Krune is an alchemist while Feier is a Formations Master. Both of them are at the Silver Stars level, so they don't need to do missions to get the Spirit Stones needed. They had made the Mission Hall test basically because they might need something from it in the future. Still, they will probably come soon since only cultivation alone isn't good.\”

Tarsa nodded and didn't say anything else.

Ruik then returned home and found out that Krune, Feifei, and Tiane were eating.

\”Oh! I arrived at the right time.\”

Krune looked at Ruik and then pointed at the pot.

\”There is quite a lot of food, just take as much as you want.\”
