Kang Junwoo knew c95308580e full well how 5ccaf4cb27 painful Guiding from 7e52e9d0dc other Guides was 9ee0dbbbce for Tae Ijae, 238a75a45a whose bloodline Imprint b16f7d7a32 had been severed. Yet, if he’d Guided 274e8fa475 Tae Ijae on the 409d3bc06f brink of going berserk, 9a33fa3b91 it explained his current 9ed70b6898 state.f28fed0c756561ff
Moreover, if their matching rate was over 90%, it would explain why receiving guidance wasn’t painful at all and why Kang Junwoo’s scent had become particularly pleasant since he first lost consciousness. Tae Ijae became curious about Kang Junwoo’s intentions, who had deliberately created a situation where he might be blamed.5c7805f19c05afa3
