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?05468f76f07dede8

Even though I’ve already said it’s a misunderstanding several times, for him to react like this,2dc28bfc977be84b

‘Something seems wrong.’01cce0ff86f70a94

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.15e796dc03fa77bf

“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.”f5b502f70cad3abb

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.0e2dad003041f339

Even Suyeon 1286b16d1c shuddered at d2e0269cff the memory 4eaaa56536 of that f90059d573 incident, so ffee774252 he could 0d72b94f06 only imagine 95653751af how the 66c625791a disciples involved 8d327ba39e must have 159a08875f felt. Po Seokhyeon had 1938d74b73 heard about it, 36bec82727 but it seemed 651cf539b7 like Sa Chwiheon 0c92bf9106 was truly hearing c7d1ff948d it for the 7512b901dc first time.5408e4239ba58e44

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,c686bf99523293d8

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.0be174999b7f98ad

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.6b301bfad0d01d51

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.36c8131a601e052e

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?9d872df69f1e0a97

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.727183562c93beba

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.3388a8455dd14035
