Chapter: 327
“My master is waiting for you in the guest room. He asks you to join him for tea. Please come in.”
“Thank you for greeting us at such an hour.”
And when Yeowun tried to go in with his members, guards blocked them. Yeowun narrowed his eyes and turned to Nhu Yayen.
“Oh! My bad. My master only wants to see you alone.”
“...They’re my people.”
“I’m sorry, but Master is very shy person... please be considerate.”
He spoke politely, but it was apparent that he wouldn’t allow anyone else to enter. But Yeowun was in no place to complain as it was him who needed to ask for a favor here.
“Excuse me, but how can you be sure that my master will not be in danger if he goes in alone?”
Ko Wanghur first voiced out his complaints. Nhu Yayen then smiled and answered, “It’s rare to see a great man like you with such great honor! Rest assured, my master will not be rude against elders of our cult. Hehe... why don’t we do this? I’ll let one person come. I can’t take any more or my master will be angry at me.”
“Hah!”
Hu Bong scoffed dumbfoundedly. It didn’t seem like having one would change anything, but it was better than nothing. As people were not sure of who to go in, Mun Ku volunteered.
“I’ll go.”
She was the only one who had seen Huan Yi, so everyone agreed.
“Hmm...”
Nhu Yayen watched Mun Ku weirdly. Soon, Chun Yeowun and Mun Ku followed Nhu Yayen into the courtyard of the Ghost Illusion Clan’s mansion. As they walked past the giant door, they were greeted with the courtyard full of rocks and dolls made from haystacks that had red clothes. All of these dolls also had masks over them which gave a more creepy vibe to the place.
‘What a taste.’
Yeowun thought it was weird from the outside, but it looked much weirder on the inside. As they moved past the small building toward the rear, there was lavishly-decorated guesthouse.
“Master, here’s the guest.”
Nhu Yayen shouted at front of the guesthouse. There was large table on the open area inside the guesthouse, where seven middle aged man with blue silk clothes were sitting down. They all had same faces.
‘Masks?’
He heard Huan Yi was best craftsman for creating such skin mask, but didn’t think it would be this precise. All of them looked natural and even felt like if they were the same person. As Yeowun got up to the floor, one man sitting on the highest ranking seat got up and bowed.
“Welcome. I am Huan Yi, leader of the Ghost Illusion Clan.”
Mun Ku then became confused. The face wasn’t what she saw before. With the nick name of ‘Thousand Faces,’ it was known that no one other than the Lord saw real face of Huan Yi.
‘What is he doing? I know he was weird but this is...’
Mun Ku heard lot about Huan Yi from her grandfather already. She knew Huan Yi was weird person, but didn’t think he will do something weird in the first visit.
[Prince, his face is different than last time I met.]
Mun Ku sent telepathic message but Yeowun didn’t respond and just bowed.
“I am Chun Yeowun, new 12th elder.”
“I know. Come on and sit down. We’ll talk while we drink some teas.”
The table was filled with sweet snacks and hot teas. Mun Ku then looked at Huan Yi suspiciously and bowed.
