Chapter 155 Closure (1)
When he first heard it, Yu Zhangming couldn’t understand Gu Yangjie.
He wondered if Gu Yangjie had already forgotten Ximen Hui’s sacrifice. For a moment, it made his heart ache.
But Gu Yangjie’s expression was filled with a venom he had never seen before.
Above all, it held an intense resolve that he would never stand by and watch this happen again.
“Let’s go back, Senior Brother.”
With those words, Gu Yangjie took the first step forward.
He seemed to be deliberately hiding his expression, but the trembling of his shoulders betrayed him.
Seeing this, Yu Zhangming felt his heart tighten.
‘What kind of bond was the Sword of Ruin to the master and disciple…’
So many questions swirled in his mind. If possible, he wanted to grab his shoulder and ask what had happened until now.
Just as Yu Zhangming raised his right hand, Gu Yangjie’s lips parted slightly.
“Once we return… let’s train diligently so this never happens again. That will be the tribute we can offer to Mangjian, to Ximen Hui.”
“……”
Before answering, Yu Zhangming gazed at Gu Yangjie’s back.
In the past, even just a year or two ago, Gu Yangjie was not the kind of person to say such words.
He was a master who valued reason over emotion, prioritizing understanding and calculation above all else.
But what about now?
Gu Yang-jeok had fought countless enemies without sparing himself for some nameless fool.
And now, for Seo Mun-hwi—a man he’d only met twice—he wept bitterly.
