Chapter 135 The Clan
Since there was no way they could know the connection between Guo Dan and Song U-jeol, the sudden mention of Guo Dan’s name sounded utterly alien to everyone else.
Namgung-woo explained the events that transpired on Longevity Hill, but he deliberately omitted Guo Dan’s final request.
Guo Dan had simply asked him to look out for someone if they ever met, not to actively seek them out and offer help.
Namgung-woo, with his own schedule, had merely intended to keep it in mind and assist if the opportunity arose someday.
He never expected to hear that name again so soon. It was a surprising turn of events even for Namgung-woo.
“Guo Dan?”
“Are you talking about the former Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, Guo Dan?”
“That’s right.”
At Namgung-woo’s answer, Peng Ja-ryeong and Morong Gyeongdo looked even more bewildered.
Guo Dan and Song U-jeol? The idea that they had any connection was completely new to them.
Even Song Chae-ji, Song U-jeol’s grand-niece, stared wide-eyed, vehemently asserting that they knew nothing about it.
“Does the Starlight Unit Commander know anything?”
“My knowledge of Hebei’s affairs isn’t very extensive.”
“Why ask, Ja-ryeong? The Azure Sky Unit Commander will explain.”
Namgung-woo found their reactions a little strange. It was surprising that a Peerless Master like Guo Dan teaching a Unique Martial Art could remain so unknown.
Peng Ja-ryeong, in particular, should have known. Peng Hu-sang had been present when Guo Dan left his last wishes, not just Namgung-woo.
