Chapter: 328

“Long time no see, Uncle Huan. I’m Mun Ku from the Demon Dragon Clan.”

At Mun Ku’s introduction, one of the man who was sitting down with Huan Yi’s face slightly turned to look at Mun Ku. But Huan Yi who greeted himself to Yeowun looked back as if he had seen Mun Ku for first time. But the word that came after relieved Mun Ku.

“Oh! Long time no see. Was it before you entered the academy, that we met with Mun Yun? So you’ve been taking good care of it, I see.”

“Oh! Yes. You remembered, uncle.”

Mun Ku’s face brightened at that.

[He sure is Huan Yi!]

Only person who knew she was wearing a mask was Huan Yi the Thousand Faces who created the mask.

‘Hmm...’

But unlike Mun Ku’s relieved telepathic message, Chun Yeowun didn’t seem all that satisfied. Huan Yi then offered Yeowun to sit down.

“What are you doing? Come sit down.”

“Can I ask you something first?”

“What is it?”

“Do you know why I came here to meet with you?”

Mun Ku became surprised as Yeowun brought up the question already. Unlike her thought, that he will talk with Huan Yi to create good mood before going into the important matter, Yeowun just brought it up ricetly. And at the question, Huan Yi answered casually.

“Of course. You came to take my medal.”

And surprisingly enough, Huan Yi too knew why Yeowun had visited him. There were two ways to become the heir of the throne. One was to have clan leaders of twelve high ranking clans to support him. And another was to be approved by three current elders. The proof of such approval was to receive the medal. By giving this medal to the candidate, it meant the elder had acknowledged the prince as a rightful heir and pledged allegiance.

“So... you knew then.”

“You, who have came victorious over at the competition, come out of the academy and visits me... will there be other reason?”

Huan Yi was able to guess that Yeowun would not have come straight to himself if Yeowun had found twelve suppoerters already. This was best time for Yeowun to persuade other elders, while the Lord and elders from six clans were missing.

“Good. Then I will not talk to you as an elder. I request to be treated as candidate to the heir.”

This meant much. As an elder, they were equals but as for a candidate, it meant that Yeowun was here to receive support from Elder Huan Yi. Huan Yi then smiled and spoke.

“I’ve been treating you as such from the beginning.”

“Pardon?”

“Didn’t you know? Elders are allowed to test the person if he is worthy to receive the medal of allegiance.”

“Meaning?”

“I am already testing you if you are worthy to the throne.”

Huan Yi had been waiting to meet Chun Yeowun, a candidate not from six clans since long time ago. Candidate who had passed the sixth test in 70 years. He was also very curious as to what kind of man Chun Yeowun was, who had defeated Baek Oh the Poison Man who was known for his ability to kill.

“I want to test you regarding two things. One is to see your perception. I was going to give you some time by drinking tea, but since you dive right into the topic, I’ll get to mine too. Can you find the real Huan Yi in this place?”

Huan Yi then pointed at other six men sitting down next to him. There were total of 7 Huan Yi’s here.

‘Huh?!’
