System vs Rebirth

Noel and Rui ended up leaving the city together. Since the trade involved her, she had the obligation to accompany Noel while giving the information to the Zaecuria Kingdom.

On the way, Rui couldn't help but ask, "Do you know the reason why my father is allowing me to go with you?"

"Kind of." Noel nodded. "In a single word, it will be Sui… Sorry, Xui. I have a hard time pronouncing his name."

Rui chuckled before nodding. "Sui is fine if it's hard for you. Yeah. In our clan, usually, the strongest heir will be the successor of the clan.

"In this scenario, I should be the successor, until Sui was born.

"He was much more talented than I was when I first started, so there was no doubt Sui would become the clan head.

"At first, I was devastated. I had poured everything I had so that I could become the next clan head. It was the reason why I was able to become a spirit transcendence when I was only 28 years old.

"However, even though our absorption rate was similar, Sui had more talent than me in terms of martial arts. He was able to absorb all the teachings much faster than me. At one point, I was a bit jealous. I had done everything I could, so why would Sui get all the recognition while I didn't?"

"Then, it appeared, I was being selfish. Sui was straightforward and honest. All of a sudden, he suddenly asked why people thought he would be the leader when I was the strongest.

"Do you know what he said? He said… 'I admire my sister, who can try harder than anyone else. I believe that talent is not necessarily the only thing that the clan needs. Instead, they also need to calculate hard work, the love for the clan, and so on…' He listed every single thing that could put me at an advantage.

"At that time, I realized… maybe I was simply too selfish. From that point on, I had stopped fighting for that position. Instead, I believe Sui will be the best lord that the clan could have.

"That was why I agreed to go. Without me here, there would be no one opposing Sui becoming the clan head. And I might have to stay longer than several years so that when I returned, Sui would have become a clan head and that status wouldn't change no matter what."

Noel smiled. He couldn't help but wonder what would happen if the Ardagan family didn't have the curse that made them unable to conceive another child.

What if there were two or three heirs in the Ardagan family? Would the situation become chaotic?

Noel knew that giving up after doing all that was much harder than anyone could imagine. In fact, he should praise her for being able to step down instead of fighting for it.

"You're strong." Noel smiled. "In all aspects."

She smiled wryly.

"Anyway, we should be arriving soon." Noel suddenly raised his eyebrows. Even Rui could feel the incoming presence.

"Oh my, dear. Suddenly, coming out of the city with a woman, what should I do with you?" Anna smiled.

Noel chuckled. "Hahaha. You shouldn't joke about it. You know I won't cheat on you. Anyway, this is Rui, one of the two spirit transcendences in that city. She has a certain level of authority within the city, and she will be with me to negotiate with the admiral."

Noel continued recounting all the agreement they had, making sure she knew everything beforehand.

Obviously, Rui couldn't understand Anna and Incetta and vice versa. That was why Noel ended up turning into their translator.

Of course, the same applied to the admiral and the people from the Zaecuria Kingdom.

As soon as the admiral returned to the camp, he was completely stunned to see Rui.

"This is…" The admiral gasped. It only took Noel less than half a day to actually find a city and even bring someone back. It was completely shocking.

Noel had also made sure that no one learned about it yet as they secretly entered the camp.

He requested the admiral to bring someone who understood the native language of the Greenwood Kingdom, which wasn't that hard to find.

Noel smiled. "There are multiple clans scattered across this land, and I have encountered one of them. This is Rui, the representative of that clan.

"I have negotiated with them first. They don't mind trading with you, but they have a condition.

"They want to ensure that you don't act like an invader, such as by pillaging, killing, and other barbaric actions. If you do, they will punish you according to their law.

"From what I have heard, their clan is the strongest with two spirit transcendences. She is one of them, and if you do, even I have to take their side."

The admiral knew that it wasn't good to offend a spirit transcendence rank expert. Still, it was quite shocking. Even their massive kingdom only had three spirit transcendences, yet a clan was enough to have two of them. If this news were made public, the kingdoms would be shaken and would try to form a good relationship with them.

However, their Zaecuria Kingdom would have the biggest advantage.

"Also, it appears that their clan is in trouble. There are about four ancient demons threatening their clan. I will be cooperating with the person here, as well as my wife and Incetta, to take down all those four ancient demons in the span of one month.

"I believe that they won't mind paying for some stuff or giving you a more preferable trade if you help out.

"Of course, we want this matter to be top secret. What do you think, Admiral?"All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

Noel explained everything, making sure that the negotiation was moving in the direction that favored the Ardagan family and Rui's clan.

Still, it also felt this was a win-win situation for the Zaecuria Kingdom. Through this clan, they might be able to open more trade in the future. After all, this expedition's most important purpose was to confirm the existence of this land and the people in it.

The admiral looked at them with a solemn expression as he had made his decision.
