DDBM Ch 14

Heavenly Demon asked persistently about Sahyung again yesterday. Come to think of it, he seemed to have a huge misunderstanding about Sahyung. Should I say he’s been firmly targeted? Or should I say he appears as an eyesore to Heavenly Demon?d160dabad5a64df8

Even though I’ve already said it’s a misunderstanding several times, for him to react like this,084aac5ffe2eaf10

‘Something seems wrong.’48e7d193dfdbdf37

Considering Heavenly Demon’s personality, Suyeon’s answer must have been wrong. Last night, drunk, he couldn’t grasp it, but now he’s sober. Let’s think. But it feels like I sort of know and sort of don’t…. First, I decided to speak frankly.486f1737ee752d0a

“Sahyung’s martial arts are probably the most outstanding among the candidates. Even at the lowest estimate, he’s within the top two. Having Sahyung as a direct senior is fortunate. However, he’s a bit stubborn, and his personal standards are high, so he expects a lot from me. It’s definitely not because he has ill feelings and is tormenting me.”bbd05b59a0caa51a

Suyeon looked back at d547ea39b0 Heavenly Demon, who spoke acf9055f94 indifferently.a76ba42a82184d5b

He was dressed in a dazzlingly white robe. Even in this weather, he gently fanned himself with a peacock-feather fan. Between the wide, long sleeves, the back of his jade-white hand holding the fan’s handle was beautiful. A black ornament hung from the bridge of his nose, and a splendid hair ornament was also placed on his head. It was an eye-catching appearance, no matter who looked.fa5dfe7e1b005830

“And that culprit is me.”e8f20c20ab11fc4a

Having said 65e6e1c249 this, Heavenly a885ea23e7 Demon wore 7ad987dcdd a satisfied cc565e791f expression, as 75ce10b95b if boasting. He even pulled ac2fc257fd and released the 2ca00214b6 corners of his 062178fc46 mouth while looking f67f7e058c at Suyeon.e6ed121c38830834

“Now that you know the culprit is me, Seokhyeon, are you going to try and hit my palm like Mu Jungwon did?”3d286469c20686ab

Even Suyeon shuddered 1fc084867b at the memory 4454d166c1 of that incident, 05d767a8ff so he could e36dbe024b only imagine how ae03186616 the disciples involved 63a13111a6 must have felt. Po Seokhyeon had 8fc9b6f100 heard about it, c3fe83e091 but it seemed a025021cee like Sa Chwiheon 839a9f9b1c was truly hearing e9bbfa0963 it for the c4df0d826c first time.fc5fe1b87c4facc1

And Sa Chwiheon’s expression changed strangely. To dare do such a thing to Master… The thought of the aftermath was chilling, but imagining the situation was strangely funny. He forced down the corners of his mouth, which twitched with suppressed laughter, but his eyes were wide with fear, creating a bizarre expression. Then, clearing his throat, he said,fe5ddb6c32ae60a5

“That stuffy scholar, so fearless…”58bce8cb9ccfca34

“Indeed. He did that because he’s stuffy. If someone less stuffy had done that to me, I would have thrown them into the Valley of Death by now.”a2a4959f09368165

At the mention of the “Valley of Death,” Sa Chwiheon and Po Seokhyeon tensed. The damned Valley of Death had been the most terrifying thing in their childhood, and even now, fully grown, it remained a symbol of fear for the disciples.d6d7f3f1f638bf75

Now, with their martial arts, they could easily traverse cliffs even more treacherous than the Valley of Death, but the word coming from Master’s mouth meant that it was a grave mistake. Of course, he would overlook it in the case of the stuffy Mu Jungwon, but it was also a warning for the less stuffy Po Seokhyeon to behave himself.346dff2f1d176a1d

‘What am I going to do?’06fbf106f5454e84

Po Seokhyeon, well aware of this fact, felt bitter. While Mu Jungwon had struck the palm of “Ha Shin of Kunlun,” the person before him now was undeniably the Soul-Severing Emperor, Heavenly Demon. He had deliberately dressed like this, meaning he wanted to be recognized and served.1a3a5f178a82771d

Suyeon paused for 5fddda236c a moment, then d0d63a900f raised his head 48946cc72d with a worried 2aa15fc86c expression. He was worried ca41a1acd9 about Sahyung, who 60d33a2191 was implicated by 3da424d09c association.c9f3a7e46073a3b3

“Indeed, the laws, commands, disciplines, and rules of the Heavenly Demon Cult all fall short of the Cult Leader’s words.

That’s right. He had to run right now and save Sahyung, who might be unjustly punished. How surprised he must have been to find him gone at night. He might have even searched for him until morning. Who would have known he was passed out drunk in the Thousand Mountains Hall?fe51c48b465a53f8

The warning bell signaling e8c0b15253 half past mao shi was a single, dang. Praying he wouldn’t hear that sound, Suyeon ran and ran. Strictly speaking, this was all due to Heavenly Demon’s coercion, but as Po Seokhyeon had said, in the Heavenly Demon Cult, Heavenly Demon’s will overrode everything. Therefore, ordinary members didn’t even have the right to blame him.8ded2cc4304c51a2

According to rumors, the punishment for unauthorized absence from roll call was a thorough beating with the fan and a week of confinement in the Martial Arts Pavilion’s jail with restricted food and water. He had inwardly doubted it, but after hearing Heavenly Demon’s puppy analogy, he shuddered. In any case, both he and Sahyung had been granted immunity, so it was alright now.037c7ce12468f2e8

That unplanned element kept interfering. He didn’t care what happened to someone like that. The “request” that came from Jeon Suyeon’s mouth was merely, “Please don’t let others be troubled because of me.” And that “other” was that damned Sahyung again.3726c6e825d81342
