Chapter 31
After completing her dawn training, Seolhwa promptly prepared herself and headed toward the Celestial Tiger Pavilion with Namgoong Cheongun.
Standing before the stairs leading up to the Celestial Tiger Pavilion, Seolhwa recalled the first day she had arrived at Namgoong.
That day, she had followed behind a martial artist—but now, at her side stood Namgoong Cheongun.
“Shall I carry you?”
“I’m fine.”
“Then, let’s hold hands.”
Seolhwa didn’t bother to refuse.
No—being led by the hand seemed marginally better than being carried in someone’s arms.
The two of them walked hand in hand up the steps to the Celestial Tiger Pavilion.
Cheongun’s hand was ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) soft and warm.
She had known it ever since he was willing to give his life for her—her father was a gentle-hearted man.
Even last night, he had clutched her injured hand and, blaming himself, had choked back tears until she managed to console him.
