Chapter: 1045
The woman, Seol Hajin, said coldly.
�H, how?�
Lee Ja-myeong stuttered in surprise at Gong Ha-seong�s defeat.�
Gong Ha-seong and his martial arts did not differ much. But even then, Lee Ja-myeong was still not confident that he could defeat Gong Ha-seong.�
But Seol Hajin completely overpowered Gong Ha-seong. While Gong Ha-seong was in tatters, Seol Hajin�s body did not show any major injuries.
It meant that Seol Hajin was many times stronger than Gong Ha-seong.
�How did your martial arts improve so much?�
�I�ve naturally grown stronger as I travel all over the world while carrying out quests. If you want to become stronger, you better leave the Golden Island clan. A new world opens up once you leave the sect.�
�Mmm!�
�Well, no matter what I say, I�m sure you would not do it. After all, I�m looking at the future sect leader.�
Lee Ja-myeong could not refute Seol Hajin�s words.
Lee Ja-myeong truly had no intention of leaving the Golden Island clan.
His master is now too old and is about to retire. Once his master retires, everything in the Golden Island clan would fall into his hands, so he had no reason to leave.�
He could not intimidate her anymore when the person he believed in, Gong Ha-seong, had already collapsed.
Lee Ja-myeong looked at Woo Pyeong with pleading eyes.
�Hoo�!�
However, Woo Pyeong turned his head away, avoiding his gaze.
It was true that he promised to help them in exchange for the music sheet, but it was not part of the condition to intervene in their dispute with their junior sister.
The meaning behind Woo Pyeong�s action was clear.
Settle the matters of the Golden Island clan with your own hands.
Lee Ja-myeong could not dare to plead with Woo Pyeong any longer.
Their junior sister, who they once had at the palm of their hands, had grown up. She was now beyond their control.��
If they want to have their way with her, they have to be much stronger than her.�
It does not matter if they insist that Seol Hajin committed the sin of betraying their sect. It was useless if the other people did not agree.
Furthermore, it was a cowardly move to improve their sect�s finances by forcing a young girl to marry an old rich man. Their sect had a high chance of being criticized by Jianghu.
Lee Ja-myeong said to Gong Ha-seong,
�Hoo! Let�s go back.�
�Senior brother!�
�I don�t want to be humiliated any more. I hate to admit it, but our junior sister has grown much stronger than we are.�
