Chapter 134: The First Disciple
After settling the Sichuan Gate affairs, I returned to the Hao Gate Yibin Branch. This was where I had entrusted Jie Xiajun and Jie Xiayan, the two younger brothers of Jie Mahai.
“Truly, truly, thank you, Master. I will repay this kindness until the day I die. Thank you so much.”
These were the words Jik Ma-hyeok uttered, kneeling and sobbing, after I extracted the thorns from Jik Ha-gun and Jie Ha Lian’s bodies.
The master of the Four Heavenly Gates, that man Yi-sal, was an easier man to deal with than expected.
Though he had only reached the third stage of bone-crushing torture, he wept and sniffled, wailing and screaming that he would cooperate with anything.
‘Kwaaaaah! Stop! Please stop! Anything! I’ll cooperate with anything! Aaaaaah!’
So I smiled brightly and told him that.
‘Oh, come on. You’re lying. The master of the Salmun Gate wouldn’t be this spineless, would he?’
Then, after slowly letting him taste the fourth and fifth stages, I began the conversation.
Then, a flood of diverse information began pouring out.

It was a medicine that made disciples like Jik Ma-hyeok vomit up the poison they had been fed, and there were also places where his possessions and elixirs were hidden away, and even information about the clients.
She trained her disciples to die without uttering a single scream, yet the example she herself set was utterly disappointing.
It seemed that a greedy man could not easily be strict with himself.
