Chapter: 1046

Gong Ha-seong protested.�

But Lee Ja-myeong only smiled bitterly and said,

�Don�t make the matters worse any further. If you want to protect your remaining honor��

�Damn it!�

In the end, Gong Ha-seong had no choice but to follow Lee Ja-myeong�s will.

Lee Ja-myeong approached Woo Pyeong and held out an item wrapped up with silk cloth. It was a music book Woo Pyeong asked to be brought as a gift to their sect leader.

�This is for Lord Chongjin.�

�Aren�t you going to attend?�

�I would like to refrain from showing� any more of our ugly side. Instead, I believe that you will definitely keep your promise.�

�Don�t worry. I�ll definitely keep my word.�

�I trust you. Well then��

Lee Ja-myeong said his goodbye to Woo Pyeong and then retreated.

For a moment, his face seemed to have aged a decade.

Lee Ja-myeong spoke to Seol Hajin one last time before leaving.

�Junior sister!�

������.�

�I�m sorry, but I had no choice back then. I�m sure you will understand our master�s decision one day.�

Lee Ja-myeong made excuses until the end, but Seol Hajin no longer listened to him.

In the end, Lee Ja-myeong had to leave with Gong Ha-seong.

Once their figure disappeared, Seol Hajin spoke exaggeratedly,

�Let�s drink! On a good day like today, we should drink! Now that I�ve shaken off that dreaded yoke, I�m going to drown myself in alcohol and get drunk.�

Her gaze suddenly turned to Pyo-wol.

�Let�s have a drink today� Oh right, you don�t drink. Damn it! We�re supposed to be drinking on a day like today.�

Seol Hajin muttered with a sad expression.

Her mental state seemed somehow unstable. Even though she finally threw off the yoke she had been carrying, she couldn�t completely relax.

Pyo-wol said to Seol Hajin,

�If you want to drink, go invite your colleagues.�

�How about you?�

�I have an appointment with the Wudang sect.�

At Pyo-wol�s words, Seol Hajin came to her senses. She looked at Woo Pyeong. JrNovels.com
