Chapter 188: Clan Meeting (4)
I never once hid the fact that I was Master North Palace’s disciple.
Therefore, most people around me knew that fact.
The high-ranking officials of the Nine Dragons City would know as well.
But rumors spreading is another matter entirely.
In an era where pigeons are treated as high-speed communication networks, let alone SNS, the notion that rumors spread rapidly is nonsense.
Even if word travels a thousand miles, it doesn’t mean it travels fast.
The room stirred at the mention that I was the field director tasked with rebuilding the North Palace Clan.
The one silver lining was that everyone knew Master North Palace was the legitimate heir of their ancestral house.
Anyway, the reactions of those who heard my statement fell into two main categories.
“Wh-what?! I’ve never heard that he took on a disciple?!”
“He’s in charge of rebuilding the North Palace Clan? I can’t believe it!”
“We must confirm with him…!”
“Is anyone there?! Find out about the express courier heading to Guryongseong immediately!”
“If it’s an impostor, they won’t return unscathed.”
Those who couldn’t believe it.
“They say the recently revived Jeonwangmun captured Taemosanseong and Haenamgeompa… His hand was indeed in it.”
“Exactly. Only he could cultivate such a young, peerless master.”
“……So he entered the competition targeting Hanjung. To reclaim the North Palace family’s lands.”
“Heh heh, so that’s what this is about.”
