Chapter 607: Drunk on the Starry Night (9)
When talk of a naadam festival echoed from the mountains—
Jeong Yeon-shin immediately changed his face and bone structure the moment he sensed the One Sword of the Heretical Path. It was the Face-Altering Art, taught to him long ago by Jin Myeong-jo, the former captain of the Divine Sword Unit.
—“Every person has an innate bone structure, so you can’t change it drastically. Don’t let others look too long at your face unless they’re blind. And even the blind can sense through energy—so it won’t be of much use.”
—“Yes, senior. I’ll keep that in mind. Thank you for the teaching.”
—“The General Bureau doesn’t typically assign infiltration missions to the Divine Sword Unit. May I ask why you wanted to learn this?”
—“Because you mastered it, senior.”
—“...Hm?”
—“Isn’t it stylish?”
—“The Bloodshadow Ghost Sword isn’t enough for you...?”
—“What’s really lacking is me, this junior, who hasn’t yet forged a worthy formless sword. I can only apologize.”
—“You have plenty of time, Deputy.”
—“The nights are long in winter, it seems. I have a bottle of Shaoxing yellow wine that Tae Yeom-ryong once hid away. May I prepare a seat for it? A drinking table for the Deputy and the captain of the Divine Sword Unit.”
