Chapter 112 Prelude
Just as their conversation reached this point, Deung Jong-yu, who had stepped out, returned.
“Alliance Leader.”
Deung Jong-yu’s words were merely a call to Gakwon, yet Gakwon already understood why he had come.
Namgung-woo, too, had sensed it even before Deung Jong-yu entered. Recognizing the presence of new visitors, Gakwon immediately nodded.
“Bring them in.”
“Understood.”
And the people who entered were most welcome to Namgung-woo.
“Alliance Leader, what in the world is going on?”
A man boldly challenged Gakwon the moment he stepped in. Gakwon, revered as the Buddha Venerable before even his title of Martial Alliance Leader, seemed utterly unfazed by such awe.
“Brother Peng, it’s alright.”
Namgung-woo tried to calm Peng Ja-ryeong, who was radiating an aura as if he would cause pandemonium at any moment.
“I was startled when Ha-ryeong contacted me, saying the Alliance had found our benefactor.”
Immediately after Namgung-woo left for the Martial Alliance with Deung Jong-yu, Peng Ha-ryeong relayed the news to Peng Ja-ryeong.
And Peng Ja-ryeong had stormed straight into Jungcheon Pavilion.
Such actions proved that, no matter how calm he was to earn the epithet Unwavering Blade Lord, a Peng was still a Peng.
“There was a slight misunderstanding. It has been resolved, so you need not worry.”
“Misunderstanding, my foot.”
Just as Namgung-woo was trying to conclude the matter, Seomun Pyo muttered irritably. Though he spoke as if to himself, it was clearly meant for everyone to hear.
