Chapter 64: The Cord
At dawn the next morning—
Cheongyang, the Taoist of Wudang, departed from the Soaring Willow Sword Sect.
It was so early, even for dawn, that only Sect Master Ji Riik and his granddaughter Ji Yeongryeong came to see him off.
“Take care, Cheongyang,” said Ji Riik.
The Taoist smiled softly through his wrinkled face.
“You should be the one taking care. Judging from Iron Gate Sect’s behavior lately, they’re crossing a line.”
Even the Iron Gate Sect likely knew of Soaring Willow’s ties with a Wudang Taoist.
And yet they had still tried to drag Ji Yeongryeong away by force. It was baffling.
“I understand.”
Ji Riik replied curtly. Knowing how much the old man cared for his granddaughter, Cheongyang said no more.
“Yeongryeong.”
“Yes.”
