Chapter 137: Faintly, All of the sudden (7)

After receiving the handover, I started working beneath Hongyeon.

I shadowed her, absorbing and trying the duties at hand. The place often known as Dowon had its share of points, however given the peculiar nature of the martial world, I avoided voicing pointless considerations.

The shortage of funds was simply the tip of the iceberg; there was a lot in want of restore that prioritizing turned important.

Naturally, gathering info on Dowon, as initially meant, was carried out meticulously.

Listed below are the paperwork you requested.

I absorbed all the things, from historical information to any scrap of data accessible.

The place did Dowon originate, and the way did it come to carry such a major place within the huge martial world?

I additionally wanted to uncover particulars concerning the Peach Tree household and Cheonma.

Is that this ample?

Hongyeon, getting into the workplace, positioned just a few extra books on the pile.

Sure, properly completed.

To stay and obtain commendation from somebody such as you Are you getting sufficient relaxation? Ive misplaced observe of what number of nights youve labored by way of.

Her concern for me was evident.

I snorted and sipped my peach tea.

Hongyeon, who initially appeared intent on exploiting me as Sejong did with Prime Minister Hwang Hui, had fully altered her demeanor after per week.

Ah, sooner or later, I felt like sleep turned pointless.

Persevering with like this may hurt your well being Its not my place to say, however I hope you wont burn out, given your expertise.

There was a purpose she had been so keen to show me from the primary day.

But it surely wasnt a case of overexertion; quite, my physique had tailored to a brand new rhythm, eliminating the necessity for sleep.

Maybe it was the motivation I discovered that made the drowsiness vanish.

Throughout coaching, I mentioned this phenomenon with Cheonma and obtained a considerably passable clarification.

Cheonma talked about it. The powers I possess have intertwined and developed.

The World Tree of Therapeutic considerably boosts the bodys immunity and regeneration capabilities. Maybe the enhancement of this capability is why issues have unfolded as they’ve.

Are you a monster?

Shut up. I nonetheless get drained after intense coaching. Im simply pushing by way of with sheer willpower.

Regardless of all the things, it was plain that I used to be navigating a grueling schedule.

Describing my day by day life in Dowon,

I get up at daybreak to spar with Cheonma, receiving suggestions on my response pace and judgment. As quickly because the solar rises, I comply with Hongyeon to sort out work. Given my capability to carry out a variety of duties, I additionally help with exterior affairs when attainable.

Subsequent, I share a big meal with Hongyeon on the inn. Since we wont be seeing one another for some time, Ive been making the most of her generosity as a lot as I can.

After consuming, its again to work, then coaching, adopted by extra work.

Within the late night, I pop into Cheondos room with snacks.

As soon as Cheondo falls asleep, I return right here to take care of my private issues.

You must attempt to get some sleep.

Why does the chief of the demonic cult must intervene a lot?

Initially, Hongyeon would flinch each time I swore, however now shes develop into braver and even talks again somewhat.

It appears like youre being chased.

She usually makes such sharp observations now.New n0vel chapters are revealed on

The chief has matured considerably. I regarded up from the paperwork to look at Hongyeon.

Being chased. Youre with me all day making me work, and now youre even right here till daybreak.

There arent many succesful abilities in Dowon.

Ive come to just accept this after observing the state of affairs right here myself.

Its partly as a result of these children havent had correct training, and extra importantly, the logic of energy dominates this place.

In comparison with fashionable civilization, its extraordinarily primitive.

Thats true. Not less than Hwangdo and Baekdo are receiving fundamental training from the ladies of Dowon. Its simply that the opposite youngsters arent afforded the identical alternative.

There have been often intelligent and perceptive children, however they all the time remained a minority.

In such instances, most geniuses perished with out ever realizing their intelligence.

However what is going to you do after I depart in two months?

I requested her as I closed the paperwork.

What?

Hongyeons eyes widened in shock, almost dropping the teapot she was holding.

-Clang.

Ah! Ah. Have a look at me, sorry. What do you imply youre leaving in two months?

Actually. My coaching with Cheonma ends in two months. After that, Im on my means.

This rattling

Hongyeon appeared enormously shaken, trembling.

A bitter snigger escaped me, however excluding the coaching half, it wasnt solely incorrect, so I held again my phrases.

With a voice full of remorse, Hongyeon murmured sadly.

If Cheonma had intentionally interfered with inside affairs from the beginning There wouldnt be any battle among the many sects now.

So, he has fully withdrawn his hand from the affairs of Dowon.

Thats why the elders of every sect can overstep their boundaries with out understanding their place.

Within the absence of the tiger, the fox prances.

Thats why. I assumed when you turned Cheonma, you might set issues proper right here.

So, thats why he was so nervous about me.

I assumed this man had grown keen on me, however he was hiding his true intentions, like a crafty fox.

However in terms of selecting the successor, wont Cheonma step in?

Hongyeon shook her head in response to my query.

Given his persona, he in all probability wont. The truth that hes taken care of you is already an distinctive incidence.

He had taken care of my wants.

Thats why I had no hassle doing my work. Cheonma, who normally doesnt intervene in Dowons affairs, had made it clear, so no one dared to hassle me.

Ah, so folks know me as a contender as a result of he singled me out, although he by no means interferes.

Sure. In comparison with an unknown successor, you, who’ve demonstrated achievements, are certainly higher. And in my view, youre competent.

Hongyeon didnt skimp on the reward, clearly hoping I wouldnt change my thoughts.

Even when I wished to remain, I used to be destined to go away.

And I too wished to go away this place as quickly as attainable.

There was an excessive amount of I had stirred up with Seyeong and Dallae.

Anyway, thats the way it turned out.

After Hongyeons phrases, silence fell within the workplace for a second.

After considering for some time, I picked up the quill and all of the sudden voiced a thought.

If the unique successor is extra succesful than me, wouldnt that resolve all the things?

If they’ll exhibit their skills in entrance of others, sure.

Then theres no downside.

Have you learnt who it’s?

I nodded.

That individual can do something. Far more succesful, proficient, and fewer vulnerable to cursing than somebody like me.

If thats true, Id be grateful. I dont know who it’s, however they should be conscious by now. Conscious that their place is in peril.

I ended there.

The place of Cheonmas successor was in peril.

Did Cheondo actually assume so?

I halted my prepare of thought there.

Overthinking and fretting solely sophisticated issues.

Actions wanted to be taken to keep away from errors.

I would like to fulfill each the previous man and the successor.

At my phrases, Hongyeons eyes widened.

Ah, the teapot items she had simply completed gathering fell to the ground once more.

If attainable I ask you. I dont need this place to fall.

Why?

After I was younger, I used to be picked up by that previous man and grew up right here. This place is my house, and he’s my benefactor. For those who can simply try this, and if issues go properly, I can apologize again and again for treating you poorly.

I approached Hongyeon.

The footwear I used to be carrying stepped on the items of the teapot, shattering them additional.

-Crunch.

I grabbed Hongyeons head, which was bowed, and lifted it up.

The face of a girl, pale however decided, got here into view.

She nonetheless had gauze over her nostril, however because it was her fault, I had no intention of therapeutic her.

I used to be going to do it anyway.

Hongyeons expression turned complicated, full of indiscernible feelings.

Nonetheless, I needed to grant her request. Earlier than I depart, Ailing inform her to deal with Cheondo properly; she looks as if the sort to pay attention.

Hongyeon was kind-hearted however lacked manners.

Furthermore, what I wished to know could be associated to the previous mans state of affairs.

I may faux to not know and transfer on, however I dont plan to.

What I used to be attempting to uncover would possibly properly be the actual purpose I used to be despatched to the previous.
