Chapter: 28

Yeowun never imagined a mere person could sense such things. Submeng laughed, “Hahaha. I didn’t think kids these days had guts like you.”

‘Huh?’

He thought Submeng was here because he noticed Yeowun faked his damage, but it seems like that wasn’t the case. Instead, he seemed to be pleased.

“Kids these days have no endurance. They always pick the easy way!”

Yeowun felt bad. He didn’t endure anything at all. He just stood there because Nano had cut off all the sound.

“So, what I mean is that you have the guts that no other kid has these days.”

Yeowun didn’t feel comfortable listening to all the compliments that he didn’t deserve. He was going to heal himself after fooling Jongmeng, but listening to all this made him feel his pain again. His face began to go pale.

“Guardian, our patient is not in good condition. We should tend to him first.”

“Ah, yes.”

Submeng then noticed the discoloration on Yeowun’s face. He then let go of his internal energy and allowed Yeowun to lie down on the bed again.

“Let me cut to the chase, kid. I’ll take you in as my apprentice.”

Yeowun’s eyes grew wide, and so did Jongmeng’s. Submeng the Crazy Blade was one of the top ten most powerful warriors in the Demonic Cult. He was also famous throughout all of Wulin.

“What are you talking about?”

Yeowun wasn’t convinced as he had lived a lifetime in banishment and danger. Yet, Submeng looked very serious, if not considering the smell of alcohol.

“I am talking about taking you in as my student.”

“...Guardian. Do you not know who I am?”

Everyone knew about Yeowun in the cult.

“Is there someone who doesn’t know about you?”

“The six clans will not be happy if you take me in.”

Submeng didn’t seem to care. He spoke as if it was nothing.

“Hah, what will those women do? With or without you, they have to compete against themselves anyway.”

Unlike Hameng, Submeng always did what he wanted. The one he feared and followed was the Lord of the Cult. Yeowun became tempted by the offer.

‘But what if this is a trap?’

Yeowun had gone through too many threats so he was suspicious. Jongmeng, who was looking at him from the side, also became interested.

‘So, this is the famous prince.’

He then made a conclusion about Yeowun’s internal energy.

‘So that’s why... they went too far then.’

He couldn’t understand the reason for the amount of blood at first, but if the six clans involved in this, it didn’t seem all that impossible. And Baek Jongmeng’s conclusion was fortunate for Yeowun.

“I don’t know what to say to that offer, especially since I’ll have a teacher in the academy.”

“Ugh, this sounds like I’m begging you to be my apprentice!”
