Chapter: 1926
The problem was that even those who knew nothing also held the same perception.
If rumors started to spread among martial artists, they would, no doubt, be constantly compared to Pyo-wol.�
Especially the longer Pyo-wol stayed in Lake Tai, the more intense the comparison would become, and people would undoubtedly perceive Pyo-wol as someone vastly superior to both of them.
Even if this was true, it was dangerous for such a perception to be ingrained in people�s minds.
This was because as that perception built up, it would become that person�s reputation.
In other words, no matter how much fame Zhao Yiguang gained and how great of a person he becomes in the future, people would always think of him as being beneath Pyo-wol.
Such perception would undoubtedly hinder Zhao Yiguang�s various endeavors in the future. That�s why neither Zhao Yiguang nor Bok Hojin was happy about Pyo-wol staying in Lake Tai for so long.
The problem was, there was nothing they could do about him now.
�The Sword Blossom Pavilion has been wiped out, while the Cheolsan manor has fallen into chaos. We could end up the same way if we�re not careful.�
�To think that the Chanjiang Fortress and Zhao clan have to tread lightly because of one person. How unpleasant.�
�For now, we can only be patient and hope for the best.�
�Until when?�
�Until our patience runs out.�
�Damn it!�
Bok Hojin�s lips twisted.
He had lived his whole life without caring about anyone�s opinions and doing things his own way. The word �patience� was unfamiliar to him.
The vague need for patience in this situation made him uncomfortable.
Zhao Yiguang looked at Bok Hojin without saying a word.�
Then, as if remembering something, Bok Hojin said,
�Oh, by the way, I heard something strange.�
�What are you talking about?�
�I�m talking about Cheolsan manor. There�s a rumor that the person who kidnapped Tang Ik-gi was an apprentice from Cheolsan workshop?�
�An apprentice kidnapped Tang Ik-gi?�
�I thought it was ridiculous, too. Tang Ik-gi may be a bit lacking, but he�s not the kind of person to be kidnapped by an apprentice. However, there are several witnesses. It�s not something we can simply ignore.�
�Why would the apprentice kidnap him for?�
�They said that the apprentice�s parents died a few days ago, and his only younger sister went missing.�
�Hm?�
Zhao Yiguang�s eyebrows twitched for a moment.
Bok Hojin noticed the change in Zhao Yiguang�s expression.
