Trash of the Count's Family

However, the preparations to head toward the Martial Arts Alliance moved quickly without any regards to the chill Cale had.

“Let us leave immediately if we are ready.”

“That-”

Cale looked at Chief Eunuch Wi with confusion. Chief Eunuch Wi hesitated for a bit before speaking.

“Will it be okay to move right away, young master Kim?”

“…Are you talking about me?”

‘Of course I’m okay.’

After coughing up blood and eating a couple plates of food, he was feeling completely refreshed and fine.

It felt as if new blood was moving throughout his whole body.

“Of course I am okay.”

“But-”

Chief Eunuch Wi hesitated despite Cale saying that he was okay, so Cale thought he should say that they should leave right away.

‘I need to quickly finish things here and go home.’

However, Cale ended up staying a day and a half at the inn at the bottom of Huángshān.

It was because of what Ron said.

“Young master-nim. Namgung Tae Wi is not awake yet. Wouldn’t it be dangerous to head to the Namgung Clan with him like this?”

Cale asked Chief Eunuch Wi.

“Was that the reason?”

“Excuse me? Ah yes, yes sir!”

Chief Eunuch Wi looked past Cale’s shoulder before urgently nodding his head.

Cale had no idea about this as he calmly responded.

“Then we will stay in the inn a little longer before heading out.”

Honestly speaking, they could have left Namgung Tae Wi here to rest while Cale’s group headed out first.

‘But I need to confirm Namgung Tae Wi regaining consciousness.’

Whether he was truly purified and returned to being human… Whether there were any mental side effects…

Cale needed to check a couple of things in order to make a plan to handle living jiangshis in the future.

There was also one other reason.

“The Sword Saint will feel at ease leaving once Namgung Tae Wi wakes up.”

Then the Sword Saint would be able to help Cale without any lingering doubts.

“…Ho.”

He suddenly heard Chief Eunuch Wi release a gasp of admiration.

“What is it, sir?”

“N, no, it was nothing.”

Chief Eunuch Wi shook his head before walking out of Cale’s room.

“Then I will share the details of this decision to the others.”

“Yes, thank you very much. Also-”

Cale pointed next to him.

“This guy is a secret for now.”

“Yes sir.”

Choi Jung Soo smiled toward Chief Eunuch Wi. Chief Eunuch Wi slightly bowed his head before heading out.

“Now then, shall we get some rest?”

Cale leisurely leaned back on his chair. He then nonchalantly commented toward Choi Jung Soo.

“Finding you will be a secret even to the Dokgo Clan.”

“Yeah.”

“By the way, why do they consider you as a benefactor?”

He just casually asked the question he had wondered for a while.

Choi Jung Soo then responded back as if it was nothing.

“The Dokgo Clan patriarch’s youngest sibling has some physical ailments. I saved him when he was about to be killed by some Unorthodox faction bastards.”

“You indeed are their benefactor.”

“Yeah. Oh, and I looted the safe of those Unorthodox faction bastards and they had more money than I expected. I didn’t want to carry it all around with me, so I just took what I would use and sent the rest with that youngest sibling.”

“…Benefactor indeed.”

“Yeah. That just happened to be when the Dokgo Clan was struggling economically. Ah, we ran into the Dokgo Clan’s merchant guild when I was taking that guy back and they just happened to be attacked. So I just destroyed those attackers. It was just a light stretch.”

“…I see. Good job.”

Cale placed a candied fruit Raon gave him in his mouth and looked away from Choi Jung Soo. Now that things were like this, he decided to get some good rest.

Creak creak.

Chief Eunuch Wi walked across the wooden hallway of the guest house deep in thought.

He had a lot of things to do, but… He could not stop his thoughts.

“…How could he be so firm?”

Young master Kim. Does he not fear death because he is a grim reaper?

He wanted to push forward despite coughing up so much blood and struggling.

However, it could not be said that he doesn’t know fear as he cherished other people’s lives.

Furthermore, he was considerate of others.

He was like that despite the fact that he had this heavy burden of protecting the Central Plains.
