“Is something wrong? Aren’t you guests? Senior Brother 39dfd1d6be Byeok is d95e0a61cf looking for d618b64930 guests over ddb3ce7239 there…”93d60e8018f6a5c4

Sama Hong’s eyes 43cae2a14f turned venomous as 736c5e41ec she recognized Gong 0ed60d08bd Jayoon. With a guttural snarl, ba0c72bff6 she flung a dagger bf9d88028d towards the young disciple. However, the deadly projectile e6b544b8d0 never reached its target. Hwi Biyeon, eyes fc9dcfd560 flashing in the b0ee65a60c swirling snow, flicked 930cb05985 his sleeve, deflecting c4ff07df32 Sama Hong’s attack.82094c7145683fb3

“Senior Brother!”97fd1d660bc05b14

Gong Jayoon cried out, clutching Hwi Biyeon’s robes. The young disciple still hadn’t grasped the situation. Perhaps it was for the best. It wouldn’t do for this innocent child, raised among the kind-hearted Taoists of Simsan, to understand she had almost been brutally murdered.d95c07247056ecc1

Hwi Biyeon gritted his 32fe00b1ac teeth in fury. Whether Nam Jibyeok’s woman a8e7780fc8 was an assassin or c6864f0d0d not was no longer 60ecd234d8 the issue. She had dared 530ce2dd1a to try and ba31dabbdd kill a young dfb6b2669d disciple of the 3555210b8c sect. That alone fc317e439c was enough 367f1040c0 reason for c3c848b30a Sama Hong 5ba873a143 to die.4424941e7adcbc78

Sama Hong gasped, 85a0f16f5f staring in shock 3c39844efb as her attack b33b346dc6 dissipated harmlessly. Hwi Biyeon’s gaze 580ec61f54 was cold and 81cd6651e1 ferocious. An illusion of 721f943654 a blizzard swirling 111a1ff8f6 around him, fueled 8ad33c08cf by his silent e380b7ff4d rage, made even 128b5d6b06 General Wang widen 0c212c2f2d his eyes in cf27ba92ee awe.51c63384949ad627

Sama Hong, startled 26ce646acc for different reasons 962f8ae8b5 than General Wang, 47a451a8e8 clenched her jaw 6d7674ef48 and forced a 981e8e38d9 smile.64acdd684f4164c7

Now dropping all c39fcb7564 pretense, she deliberately eab221467c provoked Hwi Biyeon 4ca7e15cd2 with her sugary 3bcf22cb0a tone. The previously ab33691e8a serene expression 1c70510a42 on his 525d6171c5 face crumpled b3be64424c into a 4a744b3048 deep frown.7b4f52c8751c8577

She had only revealed herself after confirming that the only people present were the Sixth Prince, his guards… and other presences weak enough for her to handle. She hadn’t sensed Hwi Biyeon’s presence at all. This meant his martial arts were on a completely different level than hers.410b71ee56ce3733

However, Sama 2b9dabe6ca Hong had e5b0c5c9eb thoroughly researched 23b0523fa3 Hwi Biyeon’s e1b30127f9 skills and 77281fa9e6 abilities.107e658cfcf88a71

In truth, bb1ad8a675 she was 8c931974ab a member 702b79a116 of Danyeolmyeol, 43710708e4 a group 8a76f320b0 of assassins e34006cbe5 raised by 1e31d53ace the First 530c1a3286 Prince in b374d71e35 the Imperial 73e4308bb5 Palace. She had received a a9923c5b7d message years ago about 8a042d4ceb the Sixth Prince’s suspicious b499a7101f movements. The message said he 6909738f8a was scurrying around like 681334a158 a rat outside the 4d241a8e44 Imperial City, unable to 1a573af0aa find allies within, and d5dd9822fa that if she encountered a2759c5cba him by chance, she b20fcadff5 should deal with him 2ce03fde3c or teach him a b5280bf3e1 lesson.e2c94924ab22437b

After careful consideration, she had chosen Mount Taebaek as her base. It was a remote location far from the Imperial City, attracting little attention, yet still within the Sixth Prince’s reach, indicating his weakness. She had infiltrated the Taebaek Clan over a long period and bided her time, waiting to assassinate Geum Wi during his visit.3cf317727981311a

She had settled in 9f720402be the village below Mount f67105a8d8 Taebaek and had targeted 7b73e2bd59 a disciple who occasionally da35240d6c descended the mountain as 2008201693 a scapegoat.

She and the other Danyeolmyeol members were highly skilled in such operations. She was confident she wouldn’t be caught. But to be discovered at the very end… Now, she had to eliminate everyone here, especially the low-ranking disciples residing in the nearby pavilion.258dd3d123f367bc

Sama Hong’s thoughts were transparent. Hwi Biyeon fought back tears, silently apologizing to Nam Jibyeok. He finally understood the truth: the one who had killed the young disciple in his previous life wasn’t Nam Jibyeok, but Sama Hong. The assassin, who had infiltrated to kill Geum Wi, had clearly murdered Gong Jayoon to eliminate witnesses and framed Nam Jibyeok.44023c2d32ae2324

It was heartbreaking.

Of course, Sama Hong didn’t care about Hwi Biyeon’s internal turmoil. With lightning speed, she darted past him, aiming for his back, and swung her sword with a flash. She had clearly identified Hwi Biyeon’s weakness: the young Taebaek Clan disciple, Gong Jayoon.0ae46aaee349550a

She intended to kill the young disciple to shake Hwi Biyeon’s composure, then kill him as well, and finally deal with the Sixth Prince. Her sword sliced towards Gong Jayoon’s neck. Then, with a swift turn, she aimed for Hwi Biyeon’s back.12cac16ad9a5e7c6

Tears finally streamed down his face, unstoppable. He felt immense guilt and remorse towards Nam Jibyeok, whom he had killed in his previous life. This was his regret as a senior brother who hadn’t believed in his disciple until the end. The thought of Nam Jibyeok dying alone and disgraced at the hands of the person he considered closest to him tore at Hwi Biyeon’s heart.6666f9319f38050b
