Chapter 129 Heavenly Dune (1)
As Wulingyuan gradually receded and the damp air was slowly pushed away by the cold wind of the grasslands.
Gu Yangjie paused briefly and looked at Mantongzi.
Mantongzi, who had been busy looking around until then, calmly composed his expression.
Unable to bear the tension of who would speak first, Daewoong let out a cry.
“Waaah!”
Was it Daewoong’s thoughtful warning not to fight?
Gu Yangjeok stroked Daewoong’s head once.
That wasn’t the case.
By now, he had received far too much from Mantongja to feel betrayed.
Even if more than half of it came from the Man Tong-ja of his past life, the debt of gratitude remained unchanged.
Gu Yang-jeok smiled faintly.
“Why so tense? Did I kill you or something?”
“If you think about what you’ve done in the past…”
“Well, that’s not exactly wrong.”
Gu Yangji let out a light sigh.
“Look, Mantongzi. Just like with Muming, there must have been a reason you didn’t tell me. Isn’t that right?”
“……”
“So I was just waiting. Of course, I never intended to force you. So relax.”
“…I wanted to see it for myself first.”
Unlike his usual habit of glancing around and cracking jokes, Mantongja’s expression turned intensely serious.
“How much Cheonmubong has matured to face Palma together, how much sense of justice the current successor possesses… Above all, how much potential you have.”
“So?”
“It was my own greed.”
Mantongja continued in a self-deprecating tone.
“You are undoubtedly strong. Among warriors your age, you could easily be called the best. But if I ask whether you can face a monster like Palma, the answer is no. Above all, do you even have a reason to?”
