Chapter 128 Grudges and Favors
That night, after revealing the secret about the Namgung Clan to Zhuge Seon-a.
Namgung-woo remained awake late into the night. His sleep schedule was never particularly long to begin with. The body of a Peerless Master was already that of a superhuman, requiring no sleep. He merely slept out of habit, following the ingrained patterns of his daily life. Even then, it was at most four hours. Waking up at dawn, Namgung-woo would meditate and Circulate Qi and Meditate, or practice his Martial Arts alone, having set up a Qi barrier while others slept. Such was his routine.
So, when someone knocked on his door during Hae Shi (9-11 PM), Namgung-woo naturally welcomed the visitor.
“Come in.”
Normally, Namgung-woo would Telekinesis the door open with an annoyed sigh when someone came calling, but this time was different. He walked directly to the door and opened it himself. Only one person received such treatment from Namgung-woo.
“I apologize for the late hour, Gaga.”
“It’s fine. You know I don’t usually sleep at this hour. There’s no need to apologize.”
Peng Ha-ryeong must have known this, which was why she sought out Namgung-woo now. If Namgung-woo had been truly asleep, she would have come earlier or waited until he woke.
“Still troubled by Young Lady Zhuge’s matter, I see?”
Namgung-woo now brewed tea out of habit. He didn’t even need to light a fire; Namgung-woo simply used the heat of Samjaejinhwa to boil the water.
