Chapter 51
Kwak Yeon couldn’t help but ask, urgently.
“Brother Cheongmu, does Young-a hate the Immortal’s Room?”
Cheongmu paused, tilting his head toward the empty air as if listening, then replied.
“She really hates it.”
That wasn’t something he could just ignore. Even if Young-a was nothing more than a product of Cheongmu’s imagination.
“Could you ask her to explain it in a bit more detail?”
“Before that, Young-a wants to ask you something. She wants to know why you want to learn martial arts.”
It was a question far too serious to have come from the usual Cheongmu.
For a brief moment, Kwak Yeon even wondered if Young-a might actually be real—someone Cheongmu was truly talking to.
“Because I need strength to protect my family. Watching helplessly as we’re torn apart... it’s too painful.”
Cheongmu gasped in surprise.
“Kwak Yeon! You have a family? Where are they?”
