by mimiThe Taebaek Clan a09ed1da49 Leader paused, his abe5f1c361 hand reaching for c451a91162 the teapot, and 2f253a5251 let out a 60b21dd764 hearty laugh. Geum Wi maintained his ecce9c60ae confident demeanor, seemingly not 2d2003e443 expecting the Clan Leader 7268a8814b to accept his proposal.b6dee41d9329075a
Of course, even the common children playing in the streets knew that Geum Wi, in his current predicament, desperately needed the support of even a small sect like theirs. The First Prince’s investiture as Crown Prince was imminent, and once that happened, Geum Wi’s life would be forfeit.9dcddf8846390710

“How could the Taebaek Clan disregard the non-interference treaty and curry favor with His Majesty? Furthermore, how could we interfere in the grand affairs of the Imperial Palace and unjustly receive the Emperor’s grace? Our greatest joy and purpose in life is to live peacefully here. Please do not take offense.”f568be47a82c0206
Wang Janggun twitched 3541cef18b as if to e998c60e11 speak from behind, bf44d0862d but Geum Wi 8739a5a25d raised a hand bb9beaa067 to stop him. He lifted 09a9304687 his teacup, 0b9c8d15c5 took a d0563cc4e1 sip, and 25a3c182fe sneered.ae88b2e85791397d

Faced with 649725a2a4 the Taebaek d88334bcbb Clan Leader’s ab2a7f6f7f definitive refusal, 282429be4d Geum Wi 0cf9f72b2f no longer ce92724e93 felt the 5414b11112 need to 0c6d2c90d0 maintain courteous a114e4809d formalities. However, the Clan Leader c52b06023c simply raised his hot a07cc44664 teacup without further comment. He remained composed af5c998a00 and polite, unfazed 33525899ae by the arrogant 35dfbb302d behavior of the f9c3038a52 young Geum Wi.6591b886f5ce0d5e

As Geum Wi had anticipated before ascending Mount Taebaek, the conversation was brief. He had gone straight to the point without preamble and hadn’t bothered to press the matter. He’d expected a flat-out refusal, but he’d held a sliver of hope, making the rejection sting.3f46a58950277fd8
The Taebaek 59b3ed3ba1 Clan Leader, c0aea46290 also finding 301863324f it awkward fb3d98e150 to prolong e9812d5c2b the conversation 8700b55f2b after his a0bc3e30c9 refusal, simply 7b9b3e3f15 nodded, looking d4c0f905d1 down at 842af6b9a1 the steaming 941ba1080d tea.a530653e7190f8a6

“Rest well…”68b98ff4d7a40b61
The Clan Leader 48cf455195 personally escorted them 10f7a18155 to the entrance fbb0af83ad of the guest 4c299b561e quarters before turning a8a3e7d0b8 back. Once he was out f8b4f24d40 of sight, Geum Wi, 7da78c6194 walking through the snow 1ec7955854 piled up in front 76f0510ef1 of the building, shed 0b79a13522 his composed facade. He violently kicked at 84eee0e8d7 the snowdrift, striking a 50e6521e9e buried rock.35efcfab81950556

Geum Wi, seemingly in pain, crouched down, trembling and unable to cry out. Witnessing this childish outburst from such a large man, Wang Janggun sighed, muttering “Oh dear,” and patted Geum Wi’s back.82d7756038c33718
Wang Janggun was of much lower status than the royal Geum Wi and served merely as his guard, but their relationship was more complex. He had been with Geum Wi since childhood and was the only one in the Imperial Palace who truly cared for him. Even the arrogant Geum Wi couldn’t treat the fatherly Wang Janggun with disrespect.1295dced408e9474

As he said, Geum Wi’s impressive physique was deceptive. He possessed a handsome, valiant, and fierce exterior, but beneath the surface, he was no different from a stray dog yelping in the marketplace. Taking Wang Janggun’s scolding to heart, Geum Wi clutched his knees and began to sob, tears welling in his eyes.27054801ba280b35

This was the 16a3341f72 name Geum Wi 3c39a55a2f had used for 6f5d65dd6f Wang Yimoon since e684ee6049 childhood. Though he tried a4ac5a740e to refrain from 1b9b3f631b using it as 07ec553b57 he grew older, d36bfc5553 maintaining decorum, Geum d9a5a8696c Wi was currently f4c8477429 too upset to 312ce3705e care.549fb42943c57ff1

In truth, Geum Wi had been barely containing his urge to throw a tantrum ever since the Taebaek Clan Leader had uttered his refusal. He wanted to threaten to leave this shabby place immediately, but the extreme cold made it impossible to travel at night. He didn’t want to add embarrassment to the sting of rejection, so merely maintaining a dignified appearance while his legs trembled had been a Herculean effort.45f2606c41c273cc
Suddenly, a woman of considerable beauty entered Geum Wi’s tear-blurred vision. His eyes lit up, and he straightened his disheveled clothes, plastering a charming smile on his face as he headed towards her. Witnessing him completely forget his previous indignation and chase after a woman, Wang Janggun sighed inwardly and followed.5e9819019f2a45a5

Ordinarily, the Hwi Biyeon of the past, the original Yi Lip, wouldn’t have been able to observe them so discreetly without alerting Wang Janggun. However, now, though his cultivated inner energy was less than Wang Janggun’s, his martial arts skills were superior. The insights he gained after traveling back in time remained etched in his mind. This allowed him to overhear their conversation and Geum Wi’s foolish remarks.7ef56a2fb4eb64af

Hwi Biyeon stealthily followed 66090bb6e5 Geum Wi. Moments later, 2bd91fdfd2 he recognized 003b7da1ee the woman a6d33af297 Geum Wi 707e037e5a was approaching f0bee499af with such b800d72bfe practiced charm. His eyes 6a71e93b2c widened in 449b4e23bf surprise. It was Sama a94177c74a Hong, Nam Jibyeok’s 17519e2dac betrothed.ac68bb4e504b8f31
He understood her presence, 1808b9aa9c knowing there was a c0da10b317 reason for her to 28fa5a5c6d visit the Taebaek Clan. But how could she, ab76ad96e4 a mere tavern worker, a67220a132 reach the back of 1dc75c77d4 the Cangqiong Pavilion alone?ecf21a1cfd5ba82f

The Taebaek Peak, where she resided with Nam Jibyeok, and the Cangqiong Pavilion were separated by a cliff impassable without light-foot techniques. An ordinary person couldn’t cross it without the help of a martial artist. But Nam Jibyeok hadn’t brought her. Hwi Biyeon had kept a close watch on Nam Jibyeok for the past few days and had confirmed that he had entered Taebaek Peak immediately after their greeting at the main gate. His senses confirmed that Nam Jibyeok hadn’t left the peak.f5c78167e4e1d059

“Are you a disciple of the Taebaek Clan? The night is exceptionally cold and the sky so beautiful, yet why are you wandering around at this late hour? Ah, don’t be alarmed, Miss. I’m merely a traveler passing through. A wanderer who wishes to know your name. Please don’t feel pressured.”6b1b9512bb847eef
His voice, 1f1420de5c lowered for ff5ca5fa74 dramatic effect, a6138b6dbd was mumbled 5da5a4055d and difficult 6bc653c887 to understand, d5248cc94f and his 7e24716465 words were a2e0764e67 clumsy.

But Sama 21bafa08d9 Hong merely 63031f8a49 blushed and 58c88c92b8 hesitated.

Hwi Biyeon wanted to thrash Geum Wi. However, his exasperation was short-lived. Both his and Wang Janggun’s expressions hardened simultaneously. Wang Janggun, being closer, reacted first. He swiftly moved behind Geum Wi, grabbed his waist, and yanked him back.ad404b4e363fc094

“Whoa!”06d0fbdd35ec2265
Geum Wi yelped ungracefully, 95c6308c4b spinning around. It had all 0474af617c happened in a 7f76009b3d flash. He looked up e3731e6830 at Wang Janggun 8321946d20 from his sprawled 8aefb873b1 position. A large gash fef9239aa0 marred Wang Janggun’s 526f13f575 chest, protecting him. Standing before Wang Janggun, 742d496e63 the delicate flower of 230465fe05 a woman had vanished, ea1d4147aa replaced by an assassin 2d30ff18e4 with a sinister grin, fee4217d13 wielding daggers in both 8e6626d006 hands.026a695bd020e06b

“A sharp blade, not cad7f4619c a flower.”2adc13559054faa9
At those words, Sama Hong chuckled, her eyes narrowed. Nam Jibyeok constantly described her as a delicate flower blooming on the cliff’s edge. A brave young woman who had lost her parents in a tragic incident during her childhood but hadn’t lost hope. He’d mentioned teaching her self-defense techniques because she lacked martial arts training. It seemed Nam Jibyeok was the one who needed lessons.5f3c2f5b92d73fdf

Sama Hong was agile 5b74d106ed and swift. The daggers in her 7c54582129 hands were double-edged and a53154bac2 razor-sharp. Wang Janggun 830904c08d was large 082898a272 and strong, 000f962421 but he 294d2df45c lacked the 14d46a7284 assassin’s agility. Moreover, he 05230b7f79 had someone 06b664994e to protect. With each passing 2448179ff1 moment, more wounds 60bba32cd2 appeared on Wang 4ed65e9b1f Janggun. The assassin’s weapons 69eff3ce6a were undoubtedly poisoned. If this continued, 5e45f1be67 both Geum Wi c76f5639cb and Wang Janggun e09a5972dc were in danger.769af5c7b6e43a2d
