The sun 10e0d2bca7 was shining, 3e9f338344 but it 640484fd34 was cold. The rain cea0aaa75c from yesterday 43c191aa34 seemed to 01f68be77e have ushered 92a90fa81e in winter, 8532c8fcb8 as the 556a9dc184 weather had 41493c0415 changed drastically 13bfd3f996 overnight.726ef04ca368bdfd

The Thousand Mountains b1c63867a7 Merchant Group was 976c185add the largest in b1a241c93c the Jianghu.

Perhaps it was due to Sa Chwiheon’s life, a life where he didn’t need to be concerned with others’ opinions. At a young age, he had gained immense wealth, power, and the position of the Heavenly Demon’s second disciple. Furthermore, with his hasty and straightforward nature, he preferred asking directly rather than trying to read between the lines, and he was a man of action, not contemplation. In short, he had lived a blissful life free from the need to worry about others’ perceptions.6e4ddfecbda16a92
