Chapter 59
Dawn. Before the first light of day, Baekyak opened his eyes.
“Hmph.”
Stretching as she rose, Baekyak slightly opened the window and gazed outside. Only then did she notice Baekran, who was sleeping face-down on the table. Baekyak lifted Baekran up with both hands and said.
“Ran, you should sleep lying down.”
“Yes.”
Baekyak stretched his body in the room after laying Baekran on the bedding.
The lingering sleep from his face vanished completely as he stretched. He changed into the dobok he had folded on the table, then stepped outside to watch the dawn.
When his subordinates, who were drinking tea on the first floor, rose, Baekyak waved his hand dismissively. Since they took turns guarding and sleeping among themselves, it was only natural for them to follow him at this hour.
However, since Baekyak’s martial arts were the strongest, it felt like they had come to the Central Plains together to learn various things; escorting him wasn’t their primary purpose either.
Baekyak, clad in a snow-white dobok, walked around the lodging with his hands behind his back like a man, breathing in the cold air.
The early morning chill was nothing compared to the place Baekyak had been staying. After scanning the area and confirming no one was around, Baekyak moved, deploying his lightness skill.
Her speed gradually increased. She intended to run until dawn broke. For a morning stroll, it was quite a commotion.
The distance from the lodging rapidly grew.
