Chapter 187 Resolution (3)
Gu Yangjie saw countless people.
First, he saw himself, lost in a trance, striking out with the Thousand-Blade Shadow.
The second was the image of Yu Zhangming, his brow twitching in astonishment.
But the people revealed in his consciousness behind the child were those no longer present in reality.
“You.”
Gu Yangjie forced his voice out.
“You? What kind of language is that to use with the Patriarch while I’m not looking?”
Jin Muwol flashed a gentle smile and blinked at Gu Yangjeok. The fleeting look in his eyes was filled with regret.
“I’m sorry I left you with such a heavy burden.”

“That damn fate.”
Gu Yangji spat out the words.
The thought that while he was struggling desperately to survive, the heavens were watching down with satisfaction made his stomach churn.
“How many warriors have been toyed with by fate? Must we just follow it?”
“……”
Jin Muwol said nothing in response. He seemed to wait, if only briefly, for Gu Yangji to steady his breath.
But Gu Yangji laid bare his agitated heart.
“From Jisang to Seo Mun-hwi in Geomseondong. You must have known, Master, didn’t you?!”
“I did.”
Jin Muwol’s voice echoed desolately. Within the image Gu Yangji conjured, Jin Muwol was shrouded in deep gray.
