Chapter 5
Ilhwa and Seop Mugwang arrived in Anhui Province at remarkable speed.
Since she wouldn’t be able to use lightness techniques after purging her internal energy, they’d decided to get close to Hefei first and then begin her energy circulation and recovery.
The place they stopped at was a secluded valley on the eastern side of Mount Huangshan.
Seop Mugwang led her to the entrance of a cave.
“This is where I’ve trained. There’s no real path here, and the thick vegetation keeps people out. You won’t find a better place for what you’re planning.”
Ilhwa looked around.
It had every condition she’d been hoping for. Not even animal tracks marked the area—clearly, even wildlife avoided this place.
“Alright, kid. Time to be reborn.”
Ilhwa glanced up at him.
After spending a few days together, she’d realized that Seop Mugwang was more thoughtful than he let on.
He always checked if she was comfortable, if she was hurting, if anything was wrong.
He might grumble a lot, but he always made sure she had food—hunting wild game, roasting it over a fire, making sure she ate properly.
