In fact, he didn’t even take his favorite disciple, Jin So-cheong, with him; he went alone to meet Deng Guo. So, I ended up waiting idly, and in that time, I seized the opportunity to meet Mangnyang and have a chat.

“I thought something like this might happen, so I figured it was better to be prepared.”
He smiled slyly.
