Chapter 26: This is Not a Martial Arts Novel...! (3)
The next morning, Seojun led the courtesans toward the Clear River Sect.
Their expressions weren’t exactly cheerful. On their faces were a complex mix of anxiety, excitement, and fear of the unknown.
Churyeong in particular looked rather overwhelmed.
She would nervously look around, but whenever her eyes met Seojun’s, she would glare at him like she wanted to kill him.
By now, rather than thinking she was rude, he felt more sorry for her. At that level, wasn’t it just some kind of defense mechanism?
“Well, we’re here.”
When Seojun pointed at the Clear River Sect, the courtesans’ expressions went blank.
“T-The Clear River Sect...?”
“Real...ly?”
Their reactions were intense.
Tears were the bare minimum, with some sitting down, and others bursting into loud sobs.
