The Martial Unity

Chapter 2674 Because He Asked Me To

chapter 2674 because he asked me to

rui heaved a sigh of relief now that his plan had succeeded.

he had already gone into the meeting knowing that the beggar sage was not simply going to acquiesce to his demands just because they had a cooperative relationship. at most, the man would be open to potentially making a deal with rui as long as he could offer something of even greater value to the sage.

and he did.

rui wasn't absolutely certain that his memories of earth would be enough to do the trick, but he was confident that, at the very least, the beggar sage would be attracted.

he didn't know that the man would become a raving lunatic.

"what are your demands?" the beggar sage's eyes flared with greed. "i have two demands," rui replied very straightforwardly. "the first, of course, are the scriptures of terra. if you know what they are and how to get them, that would be ideal. the second..."

his eyes narrowed fiercely, "...is the truth about amare."

the air tingled.

it tingled with peril.

"hehehe, i knew you would ask about her," the beggar sage grinned maniacally. "the truth about dear, sweet amare is profound indeed."

anger flared in rui's eyes. "what have you monsters done to her?"

"you have the wrong person, i'm afraid." the beggar sage shrugged. "i didn't do anything to her. nothing at all."

rui's eyes narrowed. "my mind."

"exactly, your mind is at least half the reason why you are so extraordinary you are," the beggar sage mused with a curious expression. "your memories constitute the other half. this must have been chosen to impart as much power with you as possible, assuming that your current extraordinary state was part of the plan or part of the hope."

"..." rui fell into thought. he didn't expect to get insights into his condition with this visit, but it was more than welcome.

"coming back to the point, amare's case is different," the beggar sage mused, returning his gaze to rui. "i can guarantee you right now that she didn't undergo the authentic soul transference ritual. we have conducted the martial's soul transference ritual many times before the age of martial art began, but she was not among them."

"then..." rui frowned. "you have absolutely no idea how she is the way she is?"

the beggar sage smiled. "of course i do. after all..."

his grin widened.

"...i was the one who placed baby amare before the gates of the gen temple."

rui's expression darkened with anger. "you... are you fucking with me?"

"hehehe, calm down, dawnbringer," the albino beggar smirked mischievously. "i was the one who placed her at the gates of the gen temple. that is the truth. however, i am not responsible for what has happened to her. in fact, i only learned of her condition at the same time as you did, you see?"

rui frowned with deep confusion. "...then why the hell did you place her in front of the gates of the gen temple???"

the man's grin widened.

"because the psycher asked me to."
