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?86538e9708815c0c

Even though I’ve already said it’s a misunderstanding several times, for him to react like this,763f000f8ec3e240

‘Something seems wrong.’83a405886dc11d8e

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.7212bae0242f1f14

“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.”15c43a56a6d92223

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.0b6e6b391d10e294

“And that culprit is me.”22658338cbd16c02

Having said this, c30f139739 Heavenly Demon wore f92abd1421 a satisfied expression, 7e837f4b8b as if boasting. He even 54645de17b pulled and c34ecd8e7b released the b16de84774 corners of 0a677e6f52 his mouth 5fab3b402d while looking 635108e96c at Suyeon.bf4ee0d158983051

“Now that you know the culprit is me, Seokhyeon, are you going to try and hit my palm like Mu Jungwon did?”60a195106158347d

Po Seokhyeon, sweating profusely, bbb3c6ad40 shook his head, and 160e11c33e Sa Chwiheon, pfft, spat out b9b68689d6 the tea 4a54c6269c he was b225ee666b drinking.1bf3106f92ff47d4

Even Suyeon f4ef4d2f6e shuddered at 898f787c26 the memory fae481b4b6 of that a749ac9968 incident, so 167c0db8b4 he could 6701ff66ce only imagine f57392e4fa how the ad6dc459e3 disciples involved 5e309093f5 must have 451aa8eccf felt. Po Seokhyeon had heard 80d95c4093 about it, but it ae22ce7f15 seemed like Sa Chwiheon 25b481d641 was truly hearing it c9f8636a43 for the first time.d2988911a71c2d14

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,d03a6bdae6c313b5

“That stuffy scholar, so fearless…”e791ebc58937c3cf

“Indeed. He did that because he’s stuffy. If someone less stuffy had done that to me, I would have thrown them into the Valley of Death by now.”0208f83a4fd868a2

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.0a4e86e793994158

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.c04f2ed35744e5e0

‘What am I going to do?’7bfe72cc57fea263

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.f90c9465ea11f251

Suyeon paused 06ef1b937f for a ef98bfa86e moment, then c9b343b5b1 raised his 784c176cbc head with 20f8e86a01 a worried b22a6b12eb expression. He was worried 049b2a96d0 about Sahyung, who 248cb85009 was implicated by 60609f34f3 association.4322ce1a8393db93

“Indeed, the laws, commands, disciplines, and rules of the Heavenly Demon Cult all fall short of the Cult Leader’s words.

Po Seokhyeon 2b35df3d44 bowed to e6ade097e5 Heavenly Demon 168e86467c and pleaded 0ef1e0c19d earnestly,239ff103b959f711

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?73d8cc2bd43fe538

As Suyeon bowed 70616ba793 in turn and 4461e971b7 was about to cb2942dd21 leave the inner ce6f9ccd1d hall, Heavenly Demon 67d826c764 quickly followed behind d3fcd0ce11 him. Then, leisurely placing 1e2af48bd5 his black ornament 07527e936d back on his 9c967fe9cc nose, he said,f5afa1da51453b05

The warning bell e066cae395 signaling half past mao shi was a single, dang. Praying he wouldn’t hear that sound, Suyeon ran and ran. Strictly speaking, this was all due to Heavenly Demon’s coercion, but as Po Seokhyeon had said, in the Heavenly Demon Cult, Heavenly Demon’s will overrode everything. Therefore, ordinary members didn’t even have the right to blame him.e6c8b7d5a676ef43

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.836be4cd2aa1ec98

Last night, after sharing drinks and letting him sleep in his room, the trivial matters Suyeon worried about, like “roll call” and “unauthorized absence,” were of no concern to Heavenly Demon. Heavenly Demon could create and destroy the Martial Arts Pavilion as he pleased, so such minor things were insignificant.3db2631353710c11

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.467238019a4ad0e6
