The disciples 9e08f38404 opened the 13e92a231b mountain gate 54af1821fc wide, grinning 712c69fcfa broadly at 4a08356e02 Hwi Biyeon.42e1f20e81ca3e58

The Taebaek Clan had a total of seven mountain gates. Of these, only the main gate was open to guests. News of the Sixth Prince’s arrival at the Taebaek Clan hadn’t seemed to reach them yet, but there were a few people down in the village who appeared to be his subordinates, so he would likely arrive soon.f306e14f4c087678

Hwi Biyeon was on his way back to his quarters after escorting Gong Jayoon to his. He stopped walking when he heard two people whispering in the distance. A familiar feeling washed over him, and upon checking, he realized it was Nam Jibyeok and Sama Hong. He had heard they ascended Mount Taebaek together for their marriage, and it seemed they’d been assigned accommodations together.34577684e1f6652f

Hwi Biyeon held his breath and focused his senses, eavesdropping on their conversation. He still harbored doubts about Nam Jibyeok’s actions. Could the two of them be plotting something?d38e291911f5e2d7

“When I’m old enough, I’ll ask Master to allow me to descend the mountain as a secular disciple. Then I’ll go down to the village and establish a martial arts academy. Hong-ah, will you still be with me then?”011dc3621a6ed193

“I’m so happy, Jibyeok. Let’s be happy together.”3c0d85958e782bf0

“But, Senior Brother 7fd39b9b2a Yeon has been c202cc0bfc acting strange towards 8b90374a84 me lately. So after d5e1eeb9d5 I talk 8945237a22 to him…”76de55a2165d5824

Hwi Biyeon withdrew his focused senses after hearing only that much. Their conversation was far too personal to eavesdrop on any further. It was nothing more than the usual whispers exchanged between lovers promising a future together. Hwi Biyeon turned around with a hardened expression. Though he felt a strange sense of unease, he couldn’t find anything particularly suspicious about them.a5cfab29be6a5c52

Day was 52a65b5c0e turning to 93d7baab38 dusk. He would have to 6b2a112c1e postpone the matter of c29978eb17 the Sixth Prince for f0bc5ae7d2 now. He had expected him f4bc007ace today, but seeing as 18520514bc there was no news 98ce4aa433 yet, he likely planned 9dd176619a to visit tomorrow.652220442e4024e0

As if mocking Hwi Biyeon’s thoughts, not long after sunset, a bright red light shone beyond the Taebaek mountain gate. The imperial flag, visible even from afar, was ascending towards the Taebaek Clan. Hwi Biyeon groaned softly as he watched.69e17924eb4667d9

He hadn’t expected them to knock on the deep mountain gate so late at night, at such a dark and quiet hour. Even if they were royalty, common courtesy should still apply, but Geum Wi’s imperial guards, seemingly thick-skinned, banged on the Taebaek gate and raised their voices.af370de0124b57fb

“His Highness, the Sixth Prince, has arrived! Clan Leader of the Taebaek Clan, come out to greet him and open the gate!”5dd26db4306b29f6

Lights flickered 7ee13e9619 on throughout 8327ff036a the Taebaek dd762cdfce Clan at bfc4edb69c the loud 0c1ae16669 cry. The Taebaek 1d452a43d1 Clan Leader, a7cef7af26 startled, rushed f1a92987d0 outside. In Hwi Biyeon’s 3f7b5a4d4b memory, Geum Wi 3757a46092 had never arrived 86522e52db so late at d1c8517577 night.6ebbc2c028ebb91c

That was why ef8469a67c he had been 8eec90f144 complacent, wrongly assuming f11ec37d06 it wouldn’t be 61ca769c4c today. Hwi Biyeon, his 806b75ff1a face pale, checked 04d881d9e6 Nam Jibyeok’s presence. He was 7f48bae16a still fine.

The dark, snowy b0215fe935 mountains after sunset aea0d76c0b were incomparably colder d28989b390 than during the 072a4f9436 day, with a 9455cf3b1c harsh, relentless wind. It was hardly 843adca149 weather for visitors. Hwi Biyeon nodded, 6c877fbebf his eyes sharp 59eaf96cd8 on Nam Jibyeok. He seemed 2d1bb8d548 no different 8e7a0be690 than usual, 74767bab7d making it 6f10996ca2 hard to d238ff5a82 believe he ddfaa5bbdd had killed c873d7a2a4 a young 4a523f1dc6 disciple.9625c6a708e66f20

‘…Huh? That voice…’9966f918620452a5

The man who stepped out from the midst of the imperial guards and stood before the Clan Leader was well-built, with a masculine and strong physique. Rumors said that the Sixth Prince, Geum Wi, possessed a body perfect for learning martial arts, but he was wasting his talent as a pleasure-seeking idler. The man’s physique, perfect for martial arts training, made the rumors completely understandable.43cc237fdd33795a

He had 414926ca6f long limbs 30d9d3000e and large 1a5541d77d hands, and 6b17f446e8 exuded a 036d237a5a powerful aura. His long, black 70f1dd22b2 hair made him 72b693e788 look wild and 87226fc34c beast-like, yet every 5280ba77f8 movement of his 6340bd54a2 hair also seemed 9dcbbc49d4 as refined as 2d8cd415fb a nobly raised 7d79815903 young master.8f7c7ccabdaa83f3

That meant he was still impulsive, and therefore, even more unpredictable. However, the sight of him shivering and constantly rubbing his hands together, enduring the Taebaek mountain’s cold, was somewhat unsightly, despite his dignified appearance.773bff8922e630f3

A middle-aged man, who cb4a6992f2 had been prostrated beside 160036ccb6 the young man, sighed 72f897a6d8 deeply and stood up. His face, scarred 3a3e521700 in several places, dc7d276d6e bowed towards the 0f6b33ee62 Taebaek Clan Leader.cc81204504ffec03

The Taebaek Clan Leader smiled gently. General Wang, seemingly pleased with his attitude, smiled faintly. General Wang had achieved great merit by fighting against foreign enemies at the young age of sixteen. He was originally a slave, due to his father’s status, but his achievements earned him emancipation. After that, he used his excellent physical condition to learn martial arts and rose to the rank of General.a27683fe887ed9ad

However, rumors circulated 5116e06bbf that General Wang 8a0c9684cd was originally a 1ee0054621 soldier guarding Hwi fe707ee91c Bi’s palace.

As with any mountain, f4e980f08f Mount Taebaek is particularly 7c827df058 colder at night than ffd23a93ae during the day.

True to his reputation, he was busy flirting with women and paid no attention to men. The rascal he saw in the marketplace was the Prince. How could he not have recognized him? Well, he probably would have been embarrassed to reveal his identity as a prince, so he used the ridiculous alias of “Nangrang,” meaning masculine and manly. It made sense when he thought about it that way, but honestly, his behavior was hard to believe for a member of the royal family.21a318a4aca38515

Moreover, the shameless prince didn’t recognize Hwi Biyeon at all, despite the incident earlier that day. Even if he was embarrassed, it shouldn’t be easy to forget someone who helped him, but the Sixth Prince acted as if the incident wasn’t worth remembering, not acknowledging Hwi Biyeon even after seeing him.fa7e645e0cf8ba7a
