Death... and me

As Rean healed Jana, he also remembered something. With that in mind, he decided to say

"Oh, right! Although I'll be spending some time healing you guys, I'm not gonna do it nonstop. I also need to cultivate and train, after all."

Jana narrowed her eyes as she said.

"That was not part of the conditions."

Rean didn't care as he replied.

"Was there even a need to put it there? I'm very young and have great cultivation. If I suddenly stop cultivating for several years, it will affect my progress in life. I don't care whether you like it or not. I will still stop to cultivate and train. That's something I won't give up on."

Jana sighed before nodding her head. Unless she found a way to bind those two, it would be impossible to stop them anyway. However, since she couldn't tell when they were real or not, that option couldn't be considered.

Jana and Xila weren't the only Saint Realm experts of the Lakure Race. There were 23 of them still in the valley, not to mention those still in the underground world. Because of the difference in cultivation, Rean had a hard time eliminating the poison in their bodies. Ultimately, he spent several hours on each. Because he also had to cultivate and train, he could only heal one of them per day.

That same day, Rean finished eliminating Jana's poison and went back to where Roan and the others were staying. Wano was obviously there as well. That being said, they took this chance to talk to him about his identity in the Sasamil Family.

"Now, then. Let's hear about this pendant of yours."

Wano shrugged his shoulders as he said.

"Sure, we can also talk about this demon bird of yours."

Well, they already expected Wano to come up with this question.

*Chick?*

"Why are you so interested in Kentucky?"

Wano smiled as he answered that question with another question.

"Why are you so interested in me?"

Roan nodded.

"Fair enough. It seems like you will refuse to talk unless we talk about Kentucky. Since that's the case, let's just drop this issue."

Calina was taken aback.

"Eh? Just like that?"

Obviously, she was the one most interested in Wano's identity.

Wano then looked at Calina before asking.

"Alright, alright. I'll drop the topic about the demon bird. Instead, this girl and I should have a heart-to-heart talk. What do you think?"

Calina's expression immediately changed when she heard Wano say that.

"What do you mean?"

Wano touched Calina's shoulder as he said.

"It's pointless to hide it. Do you think I can't tell that this is one of our Sasamil Family's cultivation techniques? Unlike me, you didn't try to change it at all. To be honest, I recognized the Extreme Polar Yin Technique the very moment I saw it. That's why I decided to stick with your guys. I was curious as to what a member of my family was doing in a place like this. However, I still don't know who you are."

Roan then explained on Calina's behalf.

"It makes sense that he recognized your technique, Calina. After all, you never thought that a Sasamil Family member would appear by your side during a mission. In Qia's case, you two rarely see each other, so it's quite easy to hide it. In a certain way, it's also my fault for considering that you would probably never see anyone from your family before the time was right."

Wano heard the name Calina and immediately understood.

"Oh, so you're that girl called Calina that 'died?' Everyone thought you were another victim of the First Prince's forces. Interesting, interesting."

Calina looked at Wano before asking.

"Are you going to report it to the family?"

Wano shook his head as he replied.

"Me? I have no interest in the fight for the throne at all. I'll just watch from the sidelines until the princes resolve their differences. Otherwise, why do you think I would be this far away from the Sasamil Capital?"

Rean shrugged his shoulders as he asked.

"Perhaps you're also afraid of dying and went away, just like her?"

Wano laughed at those words and replied.

"Hahaha! Indeed, that would be a good reason... if I had a bit of the Chrole Imperial Family Bloodline in me. Too bad, though. I'm pure-blooded."

Malaka couldn't hold her curiosity anymore as she said.

"Can you just stop all of that? I want to know who you are! It's not fair that only you know about Calina's identity."

"Oh! My bad, my bad. However, I wish to keep the fact that I'm here a secret. In exchange, I won't say anything about Calina. Is that fine with you all?"

Roan nodded as he said.

"That was the plan from the very start."

Wano smiled before saying.

"You can call me Wulio Sasamil."

Immediately, everyone's eyes widened!

"The Ninth Prince?!"

"Son of Yulian Sasamil, the Emperor?"

"You can't be serious!"

However, Roan had another question.

"How come you're not interested in the throne?"

Wulio  looked at Roan and said as if stating a fact.

"Because it's annoying! Who the hell wants to spend his life with all those restrictions? To hell with that! I can obtain my precious resources while doing whatever I want, so why should I do anything else? I just want to cultivate and train in peace."

Rean and Malaka then looked at Calina. Although the conditions forced her to vie for the throne, she was one of those who would be fighting to obtain those burdens.

Roan asked something else.

"I understand. However, why would you appear in a place like this? There should better places for your own training, right?"

Wulio  then explained.

"You are trying to complicate things way too much. I'm just moving around freely. The fact that I ended up in this place is nothing more than a coincidence. Well, I'm quite happy that I did it. After all, look how much fun we're having. Hahaha!"

Ran sighed as he looked at Wulio. At least, it didn't seem he was lying.

"Well, that's a good thing, then. As long as you don't tell them about Calina's existence, that will be fine with us."

Wulio  nodded.

"Very well."

Malaka then got closer to Wulio  before asking.

"Brother Wulio, since you have no interest in the throne, how about helping our Calina take it?"
