The Martial Unity

Chapter 2038 Sought Clarity

Rui and Julian had a frank conversation for the first time in three years. While he gave a doctored version of his story to the others, he was able to be more frank with his elder brother.

"The Divine Doctor…?" His eyes widened with shock. "The mythical prodigious genius who is said to have cured death?"

Rui nodded, not correcting his mistake.

The truth about the soul transference ritual was something he could not divulge if he wanted to maintain a good relationship with the three immortal sages who created it.

"Incredible…" he whispered with awe. "To think that not only was he real, but you somehow managed to find him in the Beast Domain. What was he even doing there?"

Rui shook his head, heaving a sigh. "Long story, it's not for me to divulge, either. However, you're a researcher who dabbles across multiple fields, including but not limited Martial Art and esoteric science. I'm sure the Divine Doctor can be of great interest and use to you should you be able to work alongside him."

Julian's eyes lit with interest. "That would be the kind of opportunity that arises once in a lifetime."

A fleeting smile cracked at the edge of Rui's mouth. "I can probably give you a chance to have that opportunity. Here, in Kandria."

Julian stared at Rui in amazement. "You managed to get him to agree to settling in the Kandrian Empire?"

"That's right." Rui nodded. "Although, I cannot force him to work with you specifically, as long as you are the best, you will be able to get a chance to work with him."

Julian nodded absentmindedly, engrossed in thought. "Still…to think that you managed to bring the Divine Doctor back to Kandria to heal His Majesty. Maybe you can get him to heal your mind if psychology is within his specialty."

Julian had been shocked when he learned of what Rui had subjected himself to in the Garden of Salvation. "To think that you experienced such a fantastical adventure in the Beast Domain…" He shook his head. "You're one of a kind, Rui."

A wry smile momentarily cracked at the edge of Rui's mouth. "You haven't even heard the best and worst of it."

He abstained from telling him about the dungeon or alien flora lifeform.
