Chapter 126 Journey (4)
Several mornings after that day, Gu Yangji decided to ask Wuming about something that puzzled him.
“Why does a martial artist of your caliber choose to seclude yourself here instead of venturing into the martial world?”
“Because it’s bothersome.”
Simple and clear, yet a response true to Wuming’s nature.
Still, he couldn’t shake a strange feeling.
If the Tianwufeng sect possessed such formidable martial arts, it would surely have stirred up countless topics of discussion in the martial world.
Yet, not only was Wuming unknown, but even his supposed master remained entirely unheard of.
Just a Taoist sect in Hoguang.
When Gu Yangji found this odd and asked again, Wuming gave him a surprised look.
“I thought you were a fool who hadn’t learned his manners, but you’re quite sharp, aren’t you?”
Wuming chuckled and continued.
“At our Tianwufeng… once one receives the inner energy transmission from the master, they are forced into seclusion.”
“What?”
Completely taken aback by this unexpected statement, Gu Yangji asked in shock.
He stared intently at Moo-myeong, wondering if it was a joke, but it wasn’t.
A faint, mocking smile had settled on Moo-myeong’s face.
“It must sound absurd, right? To possess such formidable martial arts yet be stuck living here.”
Gu Yang-jeok silently agreed with those words, and a sigh of resignation settled into Moo-myeong’s voice.
“Our Tianwufeng lineage has been like this for at least two hundred years, as far as we can confirm. We don’t even know the founding patriarch. There’s only a rule that says we must descend when the time comes.”
