The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage by Chu

"You're not my apprentice, but you've learned some medical skills here. I have something important to entrust to you," the Lord of the Southern Woods had said. "If Mystic Sky Sect ever falls, deliver this item to my apprentice. He'll know what to do with it." Yosil's mind replayed the lord's words as he stared at Frank. There was something familiar about Frank that he could not quite place.

It felt like they had crossed paths before.

But he never imagined that Frank would be the Lord of the Southern Woods' son, who was once an apprentice in Mystic Sky Sect!

This realization brought back memories of the commotion during Frank's initiation within the sect years ago. He remembered leaving the sect and seeing the boy, his eyes filled with determination and resentment.

It had been many years. Who would have thought that boy would grow into the man standing before him now, appearing by a twist of fate?

"It's fate..." Yosil sighed deeply, his eyes reflecting a mix of nostalgia and relief.

For years, Yosil had lived a life of seclusion in the mountains while practicing medicine. Over time, he gained apprentices and followers, eventually establishing Kornac's Keep.

Now, he understood that it was time to fulfill the promise he had carried in his heart all these years.
