Chapter 178
Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors
When I returned to Jangling Valley with Seo Moon-hye, everyone from the Thunder God Lineage was already there, including Mangnyang. Miho wore a sulky expression, while Mangnyang laughed awkwardly, saying,
“Your popularity is at its peak.”
Normally, I would have brushed off Mangnyang‘s joke, but now I felt the heavy gaze of everyone around, especially Lee Kwang’s indifferent expression, which made me wary of saying anything. After some silence, Lee Kwang finally spoke.
“Explain what happened.”
I recounted the events leading to Seo Moon-hye‘s arrival. Of course, I didn’t mention that I went to seek the Sword Demon‘s guidance but rather made it sound like I was coaxed back to Shadowless Gate. The mere act of asking for teachings could easily rub Lee Kwang the wrong way. Though a bit skeptical, Lee Kwang addressed Seo Moon-hye.
“Seo Moon-hye, do you truly seek to join the Thunder God Lineage?”
Seo Moon-hye answered calmly and without hesitation,
“Yes. My father said I could contribute to the Eight Devils of Martial Daos.”
