Chapter 416: The Hem of the Clothes of Seocheon (1)
The grand city of the noble, Beijing.
Jeong Yeon-shin stopped in his tracks as he was walking down the road. He had just met with the sage Taegam and was on his way back when he felt a gaze, piercing and unwavering, fixed upon him.
The night in Beijing was bright.
The lanterns casting their pale light from the long, straight path illuminated the street.
Naturally, he saw the figure of a young boy who stood some distance away, accompanied by two servants, staring intently at him.
The boy appeared to be around sixteen.
His attire was impeccable, not a single stain marring his clothes.
He seemed to be from a noble family. His manners, too, were refined, as he walked quietly through the street, unlike the passersby who spoke loudly and walked with casual steps.
"Could it be...?"
The boy muttered under his breath while blatantly staring at Jeong Yeon-shin. There was something different in the boy’s demeanor compared to the Jeong Yeon-shin of his youth.
His youthful voice carried an unusual authority, yet it was delivered naturally.
When their eyes met, the boy flinched slightly, but he did not retreat. Instead, he walked forward toward Jeong Yeon-shin, one hand behind his back.
