Chapter 256: Pursuit-1
“Master!”
Jin So-eun, who had been carrying Myaoran on her back, spotted Seonwoo Jin waiting for her and cried out joyfully.
Seonwoo Jin greeted her with a bright smile.
“You’re safe, Miss Jin. What a relief!”
“Well, that’s thanks to you luring them away…”
Jin So-eun couldn’t bring herself to finish her sentence, feeling as though tears might well up again.
Seeing Seon Woo-jin safe and sound made her heart surge again.
It seemed silly that she had sobbed sadly earlier upon learning he had a fiancée, yet the mere fact he was safe made her feel utterly happy.
Sunwoo Jin, unable to meet Jin So-eun’s teary gaze any longer, smiled at the guards standing around her and said,
“Guards, you all did well. Good work.”
Then, the five guards who had brought Jin So-eun under Seon Woo-jin’s orders answered with expressionless faces.
“No, Master.”
“It was nothing, Elder Brother.”
They were the warriors of the Six Harmonies Sword Sect, the Four Sects of the Fallen, who had been forced into marriage by the Hyeongsan Sect.
Until recently, the sword guards of the Four-Heavenly-Sword Sect could only carry out orders without uttering a word. Yet now, they had improved to the point where they could respond to Seon Woo-jin’s words.
It was all thanks to the effort Seonwoo Jin had poured into them during that time.
Seon Woo-jin had used soul-binding techniques to overlay new memories onto them all this time.
