Chapter 189: Hide and Seek (2)

What's this? He looks the same on the outside, but I feel as if he's become an entirely different person.
The more Baek Suryong stared at Baek Muheun, the more confused he became. Even though this man was technically his father in this life, everything about him felt different. His eyes, his expression, even the way he carried himself had changed drastically.
How should he put it? There was a new light in Baek Muheun's eyes, a relaxed, unburdened quality that hadn't been there before. In the past, even though he always put on a cheerful front, the memory of a young wife lost too soon and the dark prospect of a son slowly dying of an incurable disease had always cast a dark gloom over him.
Not long ago, whenever he looked at me, I could always see the guilt, anguish, and helplessness haunting him. Now though, that shadow has lifted. Standing before me is a man as light and free as a bird, as if nothing can hold him back anymore. Perhaps, that's also why he's finally overcome the wall that hindered his martial arts.
Before Baek Suryong left the Baek Academy, Baek Muheun had been a first-rate martial artist who had remained stuck at the threshold of the peak realm for over a decade. At present, however, he seemed to not only have crossed that threshold, but also reached the pinnacle of the peak realm, becoming a master standing at the very top of the murim.
Unable to hide his amazement, Baek Suryong asked, "Did you have a lucky encounter on a remote mountain somewhere? I suspect you've been doping on miracle herbs."
"That's my line. Did you fall off a cliff and happen upon the legacy of a legendary martial master or something?" Baek Muheun shot back.
