Suyeon’s childhood was always marked by hunger. Even the lunch he was eating now was a free meal provided once a day. On holidays, when even this wasn’t available, he had to wander the mountains looking for food or work at other people’s houses for a meal.566e7ffd86210dc2

‘I raised him without manners.’5a916ad382395161

Each disciple had their own story with the Heavenly Demon, but Mu Jungwon’s was particularly unique. On a whim, the Heavenly Demon had taken in the four-year-old boy, who had lost both his parents in a monster lair, giving him a small house and looking after him from a distance.a3705457803d999d

Of course, “looking after him” didn’t mean doting on him with food and clothes. It merely meant keeping him in the same vicinity and occasionally asking indifferent questions like, “Are you training diligently?” or “Have you eaten?”9d2a39a36872ac4b

Alcohol was expensive… While tea and water were freely available at the Gyohakgak, alcohol had to be purchased from taverns, inns, or pubs.
