Chapter 73 Departure (3)
As he walked towards Plum Blossom Valley, Gu Yang-jeok’s mind was filled with thoughts.
Plum Blossom Valley.
The Plum Blossom Valley Master residing there, an existence he hadn’t even known existed in his past life.
Only elders like Master Jin of the Zongnan Wanshan Sect or the Wudang Xianjian Sect knew of him.
‘What kind of person is he?’
Gu Yangjie knew nothing about him.
Their only contact had been when he’d piqued his interest, leading to an exchange that wasn’t quite a conversation, and Gu Yangjie receiving the Zhaosuo Dan.
Yet, there were more than a few suspicious points.
“What is that person protecting? The Huashan Sect? Or… something else?”
The past, when he couldn’t answer his own question, came back to him clearly.
He also recalled how Bai Danxian hadn’t been able to hide his stiff expression back then. He’d merely blurred it with laughter and the Zixi Dan.
Of course, Gu Yangjie had nodded to that too.
Thanks to that, Gu Yang-jeok could reach his peak. The reason he came to possess immense inner strength was also connected.
‘Rather than harboring pointless doubts, take what is certain.’
Back then, he dismissed his questions about Maehwa-dong this way. He didn’t even wonder why he had been summoned.
He doesn’t regret that choice. Because of it, he could handle the Black Dragon Sect with ease.
But now it was different.
This new summons was precisely the moment to resolve those old questions, to color the monochrome lines.
