Chapter 116: Stolen Goods (4)
For someone who inherits the title Shintu, acquiring something without stealing it was simply out of the question.
That was why, after purchasing food for the master silk artisans in place of their master, Yeongryeon suddenly had a thought—what if the two ducks she had prepared earlier weren’t enough?
If it wasn’t enough, her master would just steal some more anyway. But still, it was best to avoid minor theft when it came to stealing from ordinary folks.
Yeongryeon didn’t particularly enjoy stealing from the poor. So, after securing two more ducks and a couple of bottles of liquor, she arrived at the old tree where Geolhwang was residing.
As expected, her master had already taken matters into his own hands—judging by the empty bottles scattered around them, they had already stolen additional liquor.
Just as Yeongryeon was about to quietly leave the ducks and alcohol behind, her master, tipsy from drinking, called out to her.
“Yeongryeon, come here.”
“Do you need something, Master?”
“Yes, that’s right. Yeongryeon, why don’t you make a trip to the Tang Clan in Sacheon?”
“The Tang Clan, Master?”
Out of nowhere, her master was telling her to go to the largest clan in all of Sichuan.
Yeongryeon tilted her head, wondering what kind of errand this would be. Seeing this, her master grinned with satisfaction.
