Chapter 22 Name
“But why are you two brothers following me?”
Namgung-woo stopped and looked back.
The two men, who had been following Namgung-woo a short distance behind, exchanged awkward smiles.
Yang Kwae scratched the back of his head, uncharacteristically cautious.
“Well, I told you. We want to follow Young Master.”
Yang Jeong, seemingly frustrated by his brother’s evasiveness, interjected.
“My brother is a bit simple-minded, Young Master.”
“What did you say, you brat?”
“Young Master. You are our Benefactor. And… you are also a pioneer who walks the martial path, wielding the same Thunder Qi as us.”
Before leaving Wu’an County, the Yang brothers had already expressed their desire to follow Namgung-woo.
However, Namgung-woo had refused them.
It wasn’t that Namgung-woo disliked the Yang brothers. Although their Cultivation Realm was far below his own, the brothers possessed common sense and experience as wandering martial artists that Namgung-woo lacked.
Namgung-woo and the brothers could complement each other. Yet, Namgung-woo had refused them because of the unrelated clan’s legacy tied to his name.
The Assassination Order issued by the Dokgo Clan against Martial Artists of the Namgung surname.
For some reason, the Righteous Faction Martial World could not protect the Namgung clan.
The Dokgo Clan, known as the Foremost Unorthodox Clan.
For a while, their Assassination Order hadn’t been enforced because no Martial Artist claiming the Namgung name had appeared, but their Assassination Order was persistent.
