Chapter: 285

Baek Chau spoke to object Baek Munho’s idea. Only good thing to come from killing Yeowun was that they killed a possible future enemy. But the price was to be cast out from the Lord and be pushed out from the six clans.

“You all are idiots!”

“Who are you to say that!”

People divided into two groups in ideas and began to shout in argument. Baek Oh, who had been listening to them for long time, had chosen what to do after a long thought.

“Stop! I will refuse this request.”

He too wanted to kill Chun Yeowun more than anyone, but there was just too much at stake. It was better for another to kill him. Leaders who wished Baek Oh to refuse the request agreed, and his sons were disappointed at the decision. After everyone returned, Baek Oh came to the small building where Chun Jongsum was at.

Baek Oh sat in front of Chun Jongsum who was only blinking while lying down. He was almost as good as dead. Baek Oh did everything in his power to heal him, but not even the Demon Doctor himself could do anything.

“I’m sorry. Gramps has nothing I can do to help you.”

The symbol of terror himself was still weak for his grandson. He was despaired that he had to care about his clan even when his precious grandson, who was born from his precious daughter, had been thrown into such a state. And did Chun Jongsum know of this? Jongsum’s eye turned teary. And it was then.

“Elder, there is a guest.”

“Guest at this hour? What kind of guest visits at such hour? Let them return.”

Baek Oh wasn’t in a mood to greet a guest. But he had to choose his choice at the telepathic message.

[It’s Lady Mu from the Wise Clan. Should we return her? She’s at the front of your building.]

Baek Oh then became surprised. The woman had not visited after the funeral of his daughter Lady Baek.

“Okay. I will go out.”

It was not someone he can just refuse because he wasn’t in the mood. Baek Oh then walked out of the room. And as Baek Oh opened the door to get out, Jongsum rolled his eyes to look at his grandfather.

‘?!’

And through the door, he saw someone dimly lit below the fire. It was a middle-aged woman with a red veil over her head. Chun Jongsum, who could barely open and close his eyes, began to shake his eyes, and his body began to tremble.

‘It’s her! IT’S HER!!!!’

It was the woman who had gotten the poison from his mother. He wanted to scream something, but he couldn’t even move his tongue and he trembled in anger until he passed out.

The next day, the advisor from the Poison Clan visited the office of the Chief of Demonic Academy. He had a letter that wrote from Baek Oh himself that had simple sentence.

[Challenge Accepted.]

The 12th elder, and the leader of Poison Clan Baek Oh had accepted the challenge.

It was the morning of the 6th test that was being held in 70 years. Chun Yeowun had woken up four hours prior to the duel and went to the blacksmith. The academy was full of snow because of snow that fell past few days, but the area around blacksmith was wet from snows melted from the heat. The blacksmith that was noisy from hammering all night was now quiet. Yeowun waited outside for about ten minutes and heard someone inside and walked in.

“Master Ou?”

When he walked in, the inside of the blacksmith was hot from the heat from the forge. As Yeowun walked further in, Ou Sunong was working on something very seriously. He was sewing on a white leather carefully, making a leather scabbard. Yeowun could not disturb him, so he quieted himself down and waited until the job was done. And it was after an hour passed.

“Finally!”

Ou Sunong looked at the completed scabbard in a satisfied voice. The white leather had a red engraving that looked very gracious and luxurious.

“Is it finished?”

“BY THE BLACKSMITHING GOD! YOU SURPRISED ME!”
