Death… And Me

Chapter 1589 Logu's Story

Obviously, that surprised Rean. After all, wasn't it too much a coincidence that he found the person he needed? It was at this moment that he remembered something. "Right! You still haven't told me why you're pretending to be a man. You also mentioned that 'you shouldn't have left your corner' today. That means you do live in the streets. Last but not least, why would someone with cultivation like yours live in the streets like a beggar anyway? You could even start your own sect at your cultivation level."

Rean wasn't lying. The Lukimira Sect, for example, had a Sect Leader who was still in the Saint Realm. Logu was at the Elemental Transformation Realm, which was a very high level of cultivation for a small city like this one. "Even if you don't want to start a sect or some other power, you would definitely be welcome in any of the other powers as a guest elder or something like that."

Logu already expected Rean to ask it sooner or later, so she replied, "Simply put, I don't care about riches. No, that's not right. It's better to say that I lost interest in it."

Rean found it weird. "How come?"

"It might look weird to you, but my cultivation started to advance much faster when I did it," Logu said in response. "I was always invited to design the buildings of those in power in our Glastocen City. In exchange, I got quite a few Divine Stones. However, my cultivation also began to delay nonstop. At some point, I spent more time designing constructions than anything else. Since you want to build a sect, you definitely know how important a well-organized sect is, right?"

Rean nodded in response. "Of course. That's why I was looking for someone who knew what they were doing." Back on the Zasfins' planet, the Freedom Sect was built without any planning. It did serve the purpose of the sect itself, but Rean knew how inefficient it was. That's because the buildings were built as the necessities arose. It was especially bad when it came to his communication system.

Logu continued, "Anyways, when I refused to do any more blueprints, those who wanted me to work for them didn't like that very much."

Rean still found it weird, though. "Was there a reason to pretend to be a man? Couldn't you simply take the Formation Guild's teleport formation and move to another city? You said it yourself. You made quite a few Divine Stones, so it shouldn't have been a problem."

Logu agreed with Rean. "True. However, I didn't want to leave. You must understand. It's not that I don't like to design projects. It's just that I was doing way too many of them. That's one more reason why I decided to live on the streets. First, when I stopped working too much, my cultivation finally advanced even though I didn't have Divine Stones anymore. Second, walking through the streets and looking at all the projects I finished makes me feel at peace. That somehow helps me with my cultivation as well."

Sister Orb, who was listening to everything, immediately understood. [There's nothing weird about it. A free mind will always have better progress than a mind that's getting stressed all the time. Then again, just how much work did you do to make it affect your cultivation? That's kinda crazy.]

Logu still felt weird seeing the orb speaking. However, she admitted Sister Orb was right. "I also believe it to be the case."

Rean couldn't help but ask, "But if you accept my offer to build my sect, you will become busy again. Doesn't that go against your cultivation? Not to mention that you will leave all the buildings you built behind. I won't lie. I doubt we will ever come back to this city."

It was then that Logu sighed as she told him, "To be honest, I was already thinking about leaving on my own. The last time I finished a design was 43 years ago. Since then, I've been living on the streets. That's more than enough time. Even though it pains me to leave everything I did behind, I feel like I need to get my hands on some new projects. There was only one reason I haven't left yet."

Rean could guess what it was. "The kids, right?"

Logu nodded in response. "Yes. These kids you got here aren't the only ones I helped every now and then. There are at least a hundred of them around the city in a similar situation. I couldn't bear to leave them behind."

Seeing Rean's puzzled expression, Logu understood what he was thinking. "You wonder why I didn't use my connections and strength to get these kids out of the streets, right?"

Rean was taken aback as he responded, "Was it that obvious?"

Logu nodded in response. "Pretty much. Anyways, the reason is quite simple. I helped the kids to a certain extent, but I didn't want them to rely on me. That's why I only gave them the most basic help so that they would grow and mature fast. You don't know it, but quite a few of them have already grown up and found something to pursue."

Rean was happy to hear that. "Is that so? Could it be you think this sect would help with that?"

Logu nodded once again. "If everything you told me with that Divine Sense is true, then they will have plenty of opportunities and challenges ahead. That's a good thing."

Logu then raised her finger after that. "However, for me to go with you, I have one condition."

Rean could already imagine what it was. "Don't worry. Just show me the other kids you were taking care of, and I'll offer them to join our sect. However, I won't force them. If some of them refuse, they will be left behind."

Logu didn't mind it. "That goes without saying. Anyways, shall I bring you to them? Although some of them created their own groups, they're quite spread out in this city."

"Sure," Rean nodded. After that, he grabbed Logu and took flight once again as Logu showed the way. From what Rean knew, they had a few extra kids to invite.
