Chapter 39
“What are you doing here again?”
Lord Unhyeon of the Wujin Palace glared at his disciple, Instructor Hyeonmun, with clear displeasure on his face.
When Hyeonmun only bit his lip tightly without answering, Lord Unhyeon’s frown deepened.
“If you’re here, speak your reason! Where did you learn such ill manners?”
Instructor Hyeonjeong, the senior disciple standing beside Hyeonmun, stepped in.
“Master, please calm yourself. Instructor Hyeonmun must have come here after gathering great courage. Wouldn’t it be better to at least hear his greetings first and listen to what he has to say?”
“Greetings? From a brat who didn’t even show his nose on my birthday? And now he brings greetings?”
Lord Unhyeon’s voice rose.
“He only came crawling because he wants something.”
“Master, I beg you...”
Lord Unhyeon’s face was thunderous as he interrupted.
“I’ll hear him out, only for your sake, since you’re his senior. But don’t expect much.”
