Chapter 296: Acting Lord
The return journey was crowded.
Led by Dang Yanggang and Seo Incheong, one hundred and eighty Samro warriors and thirty Black Dragon Corps members, including Bukgung Chang, surrounded them tightly. Jik Hwaran, riding in the carriage with them, chattered incessantly.
What’s more, Tang Yanggang, the leader of the Three Roads, had slipped into the carriage on the pretext of being bored and joined Jie Huaran in chattering away, leaving no moment of quiet.
“Hehehe, try this here. Come on, ah.”
“How can someone without a lover live in sorrow? Hey, what the hell are you doing?”
“Oh my? You say a master like Sam Roju has no lover? Well… even with his abilities, he looks like a village hooligan, so what can you do?”
“What? Is that all you have to say? Even if she’s destined to be the master’s wife…”
“But you know what? There are plenty of women around me.”
“So, what are you implying?!”
“Who knows? Perhaps one of those ladies might take a liking to Lord Sam Roju.”
“Hehe, ever since I first laid eyes on you, Madam, I thought you were destined to be our leader… no, our master’s partner.”
“Heh heh heh. Is that so?”
“……”
It went something like that.
After that noisy journey, we finally arrived at Nine Dragons Castle.
[Congratulations! Welcome back, the Absolute Master of the Martial Arts Tournament.]
“……”
An unexpected banner and a martial artist from the Shadow Poison Sect bearing the master’s orders greeted us.
