Trash of the Count's Family

Not many people were in the meeting room.

The Heavenly Demon, Sage Demon, and Left Guard were present from the Demon Cult. Elder Ho and the Cleave Saint were there from the Orthodox faction while Sima Dan and Sima Gong were present for the Unorthodox faction.

Cale’s side had Cale, Choi Jung Soo, and the Fist King. Of course, Choi Jung Soo was still covering his face with the bamboo hat. The original plan was for Chief Eunuch Wi to come along but the Fist King stepped in and said that he would go.

– Human, why are they all looking at you like that?

Of course, Raon was with Cale while invisible.

Cale made eye contact with the Heavenly Demon. The Heavenly Demon, who was seated at the head of the table, pointed to the seat across from him.

“Sit.”

Cale nodded his head and sat down on the seat.

“Young master Kim-nim.”

Elder Ho, who was seated on the right side, slowly looked at him and started speaking.

‘Mm.’

Cale subconsciously started scowling.

The look on Elder Ho’s face was a bit, no, seriously concerning. ‘How should I describe this?’ It was sentimental unlike his usual self and pitiful, making it unpleasant to look at. The way his lips were smiling as if he was trying extremely hard to hold back his sorrows was especially annoying.

Cale frowned more. Elder Ho became shocked and asked.

“Your body, is it still not well, Young master-nim?”

Cale responded honestly to him.

“Not at all. It feels great, Elder Ho-nim.”

“Ah.”

Elder Ho gasped.

He then clenched his eyes shut and raised his head toward the ceiling.

– Human, what is up with Elder Ho Song Yi?

‘I know, right?’

Cale wondered why he was acting like this.

The Cleave Saint squeezed Elder Ho’s shoulder at that moment.

– Human! The Cleave Saint is talking to Elder Ho through sound transmission!

‘I wonder what he said.’

Cale became curious.

– ‘We must respect his great intentions and his heart that is as vast as the sea. Let’s feign ignorance.’ That is what he said!

‘What is he talking about?’

Cale felt uneasy after hearing about this conversation he could not understand but felt as if it was about him for some reason.

“…Hwaaaa.”

Elder Ho let out a weird noise and lowered his head.

Cale just looked away.

He then made eye contact with Sima Dan.

Shh.

She pushed an extremely expensive looking bottle of alcohol toward Cale.

‘What’s up with her?’

Cale reached his hand out since she was giving it to him. However, Sima Gong stepped in and swiped the bottle.

“Noonim. Alcohol is fatal for internal injuries.”

Cale responded honestly to him.

“Ah. I do not have internal injuries. And my body’s condition is great right now.”

Sima Gong flinched before smiling.

‘Yeah, compared to Elder Ho, it is much easier to talk to this guy.’

Cale’s face was about to light up a bit when he saw it.

He saw Sima Gong bite his lips for a moment before returning to normal. It was done with an extremely solemn look on his face.

An unexplainable chill descended on the back of Cale’s neck.

Sima Gong asked with a normal look on his face as if nothing had happened and nothing was wrong.

“By the way, young master-nim, is it true that you are going to purify the other living jiangshi victims in the Demon Cult?”

‘Ah. Right.’

Cale immediately started speaking now that one of the topics he wanted to discuss was brought up. He looked around as he answered.

“That is correct. Of course, I plan on purifying not just the living jiangshis in the Demon Cult but also in the Orthodox faction and the Unorthodox faction as well. However, there are quite a lot of them, so we may need to temporarily lock up the people who are revealed as living jiangshis so that they cannot cause any trouble.”

He then added on.

“Furthermore, I am able to purify larger numbers if the seal placed on my body is removed. Of course, it will take some time for that seal to be removed.”

It would take some time to nab elixirs from different places.

‘But I need to release at least ninety percent of the seal.’
