Chapter 117 Return to the Homeland (3)
Tap, tap.
The Thunder Prison, where Huashan Sect’s criminals were confined.
Inside, Yi Xian cautiously carried a water bucket.
Seeing this, a Taoist sent a telepathic message.
-Going to see her again?
-Yes.
-I don’t understand why you seek such hardship. At your age, you should be training relentlessly.
-……But I am her remaining senior brother.
At those telepathic words, the cultivator clicked his tongue in pity. A thought of foolishness also flickered in a corner of his mind.
After all, the girl Ik-hyeon was visiting couldn’t leave unless Baek Dan-hyeon permitted it.
Approaching a disciple who had received such severe punishment wasn’t exactly a pleasant sight either.
One wrong move, and sparks could fly.
Yet, since the rebellion at Cheolgum Mountain, Ik-hyeon visited the prison cell every tenth day without fail.
Even when close fellow disciples tried to dissuade him, even when the Daoist guarding the cell shot him disapproving glances.
Ik-hyeon always arrived simply dressed, carrying a water bucket and a modest snack.
Thump, thump, thump.
After taking twenty-seven steps, Ik-hyeon would glance inside the prison cell and ask in a low voice.
“Sister, have you been well?”
“…….”
Yeong Mo-yeon gave no reply. Or rather, it would be more accurate to say she couldn’t.
‘I’m ashamed.’
Yeong Mo-yeon’s head turned slightly away from Ik-hyeon.
She was someone who couldn’t bear to lift her face.
Not only had she ignored him before, she had behaved recklessly. After the rebellion at Cheolgum Mountain failed, she was treated like a criminal, her vital energy severed. No, she was an actual criminal.
