Chapter 73
0073 : Demon Subduing Hall
A few days after attaining enlightenment in martial arts, I once again met Han Baek-ryeong under the guidance of Han Jin-seong. Uncharacteristically, this time Han Baek-ryeong was dressed in formal evening attire, suggesting she had just returned from somewhere. Upon seeing me, she spoke.
“I’ve done some research, and it seems you’re not a disciple of the Azure Dragon after all. He has a disciple named Jin So-cheong, who is another genius on par with Jin-seong. Honestly, I find myself somewhat envious.”
I realized that Han Baek-ryeong’s quiet demeanor was actually a cover for her thorough investigation of me. To be able to speak so confidently indicated that she had gathered a considerable amount of information.
“Before we talk, I have a question to ask.”
Han Baek-ryeong looked at me with her transparent eyes devoid of emotion.
“Do you not wish to become a part of our Han Clan, rather than just a guest?”
“What do you mean all of a sudden?”
“I’m saying I can grant you the power you desire so desperately. I do not know who your targets for revenge are, but I can assist you in that regard, as long as it falls within the limits of your wishes. In exchange, you must pledge your absolute loyalty to the Han Clan, and at times, you may have to stake your life.”
