The negotiation between the Orthodox faction and the Demon Cult.

The group heading from the Martial Arts Alliance to Mount Kunlun was divided into two.

The original plan was for everybody to move at once, however, it was no longer an option.

“Young master-nim.”

Chief Eunuch Wi looked toward the tea-drinking Cale as he spoke.

“Apparently two of Sima Pyeong’s children are coming.”

“Is that so?”

Cale sipped the tea with a relaxed look on his face. He then flinched.

‘It’s bitter!

I haven’t had bitter tea since coming to the Central Plains!’

He slowly peeked to his side. Ron had a gentle smile on his face as he spoke.

“I finally found the flavor you used to drink a lot, young master-nim. Isn’t it great?”

“…Yeah… great. Very great.”

He was smiling gently but something made it uncomfortable. Cale avoided his gaze as he nonchalantly answered.

Click. He placed the teacup down and asked Chief Eunuch Wi a question.

“Then will the Chief Advisor’s group head out first?”

Chief Eunuch Wi nodded his head and handed Cale a document.

“The Chief Advisor, the Cleave Saint, the Wudang Sect, The Hebei Peng Clan, the Chivalry Corps, the Justice Corps, and the others will head out first tomorrow, young master-nim.”

Cale was planning on going with them, but Cale’s group had to stay here because the Divergent Coalition was coming to get that trash, Sima Jung, back.

Cale had made the suggestion to Zhuge Mi Ryeo who had been contemplating what to do.

‘Why don’t we split into two then? The group is quite large to move all at once anyway, don’t you think so? We might as well split into two and meet up at the Kunlun Sect.’

‘Mmm.’

Cale, who understood why Zhuge Mi Ryeo could not answer, continued to speak.

‘You must be hesitant because of the living jiangshis?’

‘Yes, young master-nim. It is obvious that I need to be with the leading group. We can’t leave someone who doesn’t know the situation in charge. In that case, what will we do about the living jiangshis-’

‘I’m not so sure about that. Do you think anything will happen?’

‘Excuse me?’

Zhuge Mi Ryeo was confused but Cale was being serious.

‘The entire Central Plains and even the Outlands are probably extremely alert right now about this negotiation between the Demon Cult and the Orthodox faction. If the living jiangshis they’ve planted are a part of that negotiating team, wouldn’t the Blood Cult order them to figure out the contents of the negotiation?’

‘Ah.’

Zhuge Mi Ryeo immediately nodded her head and mumbled.

‘If we don’t show any signs of knowing, it is unlikely that the living jiangshis will reveal themselves and go berserk?’

‘Don’t you think so? Why would the Blood Cult, which has only moved under the surface until now, suddenly change that?’

Cale started smiling and Zhuge Mi Ryeo stopped frowning.

‘That is true. The Blood Cult will probably try to hide themselves even more with the rumors about the Sword Demon, Blood Cult, and Namgung Clan running rampant.’

Cale nodded his head at Zhuge Mi Ryeo, who figured it out on her own.

‘That’s correct. But if you are still uncomfortable with it, you can put all five of them with our group, Chief Advisor-nim.’

‘Mm… That might also seem abnormal so we will take three while your group takes two, young master Kim-nim.’

That was the end of that conversation with the Chief Advisor.

Chief Eunuch Wi delivered the rest of the information to Cale later.

“The group leaving with us is about two-fifths of the whole group. Elder Ho-nim, Namgung Ma Hee, Peng Yu and other important figures are with us.”

“The Hebei Peng Clan is going with the Chief Advisor but Peng Yu is going with us?”

“Yes, young master-nim. The Chief Advisor let us know that it seems like he is trying to dig into your identity, young master-nim.”

“I see.”

Cale nodded his head. Peng Yu of the Hebei Peng Clan. Although he understood why that guy would be curious…

“There isn’t much to dig up.”

He openly shared his inner thoughts.

“Pfft.”

He turned his head after hearing a chuckle to see Choi Jung Soo looking away from him.
