Chapter 119: Writing a Letter in the Murky Martial World
The Namgung Clan.
One of the Five Great Families of the martial world.
A power that even looks down arrogantly upon the other four major families on the same level.
Internal political strife was constant.
Externally, they were constantly locked in power struggles with neighboring factions.
Yet, the Namgung Clan remained the Namgung Clan.
The Chief Advisor of the Inner Court.
A man was buried beneath mountains of paperwork.
From cryptic verses in code sent from various regions to lengthy letters.
After carefully reading the papers scattered across his desk, the man was sorting them back into three document filing cabinets.
Each of the three document bins bore a label: Top, Middle, Bottom.
But beneath the bins sat a large trash can, where the majority of the papers ended up.
Even amidst this, news that the upper echelons needed to know occasionally ended up in the bottom bin. News about the Five Great Families or those possessing comparable power went into the middle bin. News that could shake the martial world’s situation, no matter how brief, was sorted into the top bin.
Yet, despite the mountain of documents still needing processing, the man sat reading one file with a serious expression.
The man read the document’s title aloud.
“Regarding the White Ghost…”
***
White Ghost.
He is being treated as an honored guest of the North Heaven Alliance.
Rumors also suggest he is the sworn brother of Gu Yanghou, the leader of the Northern Heavenly Alliance.
