Chapter 399: Locust (4)
“You’re saying you’ve been put under house arrest?”
“Yes, I’m not allowed to leave for the time being, Elder.”
At my reply, Elder Geolhwang turned wide eyes toward Grandfather Mandok Shingun.
He looked like he was silently asking with his eyes, Is that true?
Meeting that gaze, Grandfather Mandok Shingun gave an awkward nod in confirmation.
“I had intended to keep him from going out for a while.”
“What? Why? Did he break a clan law or something? The boy’s done so much for us—how could you?”
Typically, house arrest only comes into play when someone breaks clan law or causes a serious incident. So Elder Geolhwang seemed to be thinking I must’ve done something drastic.
But even before hearing what exactly I’d done, he added that, considering all the contributions I’d made to the Tang Clan, surely they could’ve let it slide.
To be fair, if we counted all the spirit beasts I’d brought to the clan, they’d owe me even if I sold the Tang Clan itself.
Seriously. I could pawn this clan off two or three times and they’d still owe me.
Grandfather Mandok Shingun gave me a knowing smirk and answered.
