It wasn’t Po Yeondan’s clueless and foolish behavior that he found amusing, but rather, the obviousness of his disciple Po Seokhyeon’s scheme, which left a bitter taste in his mouth. It was a testament to Po Seokhyeon’s exceptional ability to manage situations. Or perhaps Po Seokhyeon wanted to demonstrate his unwavering loyalty to the Heavenly Demon.cadba0e0a3732ee2

It was irritating that Po Seokhyeon had dared to anticipate and act upon the Heavenly Demon’s actions, but since it was a gift offered to him, the Heavenly Demon decided to accept it. It was a petty and frivolous act of revenge, but outwardly, it appeared justified and tempered with mercy. At least he hadn’t beheaded Po Yeondan.896af8674f355c13
Traditionally, the one made an “example” had to pay a hefty price. Usually, it was beheading, but sometimes they would slit the person’s mouth and force-feed them Gu poison, or withhold the antidote and leave them to die in agony.c8caa440e3e782e3

Come to think of it, there was no way the Gu poison wouldn’t work. The Heavenly Demon Cult was not so careless as to create such a flawed Gu poison.cc42c98fca316322
