Chapter 29
Yang-hwi gathered his thoughts.
‘It’s not that Eumhu is completely opposed to taking a disciple.’
Weighing his knowledge of the future against her current demeanor, he was certain of it.
Which meant that if he could only prove Jegal Seol-ha was worthy, he could break through this impasse.
‘So she has no intention of accepting anyone unless they are truly virtuous.’
Pacheon-eumhu’s Sacred Sound Jade Bell Sect was an esoteric martial lineage, yet ask a hundred people and all one hundred would swear it was a pillar of rectitude within the Righteous Faction.
From its very inception, the sect pursued the Dao of the immortals, and central to that pursuit was the salvation of all people.
‘Debating good and evil with Eumhu is an exercise in futility.’
Arguments over good and evil, orthodoxy and heresy, had raged since antiquity without resolution.
Any stance brought forward could be refuted, just as one could refute any argument in return.
To be drawn into such a war of words here would be like walking a path with no end.
‘In that case, I just have to give her an argument she cannot refute.’
With a faint grin, Yang-hwi offered a Salutation of fists and palms toward Eumhu.
“I am Yang-hwi of the Baek Clan. Might I dare offer a thought before Eumhu?”
“You may.”
“I thank you for your leave, and wish to ask a single question.”
“Eumhu, you desire a child who will grow into a good person as your disciple. Are you yourself a good person?”
