Chapter: 693
So she took pride in her skills.
But not one of the sword techniques taught by her master was even put to use since she was constantly on the defensive. So if she can, she wants to have a life-and-death battle with Pyo-wol to show off her prowess regardless of the consequence.�
However, she had no choice but to endure it because she knew that it would only hinder Jin Geum-woo if she rushed ahead.
Pyo-wol and Jin Geum-woo looked at each other.
Pyo-wol lost Soo-hyang to Seo Mun-pyeong, and Jin Geum-woo lost Seo Mun-pyeong to Pyo-wol.
Their relationship took an irreparable blow.
To others, Seo Mun-pyeong may be a selfish villain, but to Jin Geum-woo, Seo Mun-pyeong was a good younger brother. It was absolutely impossible for him to overlook Seo Mun-pyeong�s death.
Nevertheless, Jin Geum-woo endured.
He was different from Neung Soun and Won Ga-young.
He had a brilliant brain and eyes which could see through the truth of a situation. And he was clearly aware of his priorities.
Jin Geum-woo opened his mouth while keeping Pyo-wol in check.
�Let�s put our grudgest on hold for the meantime.�
�Why should I do that?�
�Shouldn�t our priority be catching the main culprit who made things like this? We can deal with our problem after we catch him� Or else, he�ll be out of Chengdu while we�re busy facing each other like this.�
�And if I don�t agree?�
�Then I�ll fight you with all my might. I might win, or you might win, but whoever wins won�t be able to catch the one who killed her. Are you still alright with that?�
Jin Geum-woo�s polite speech did not show any servility.
In his heart, he also wanted to fight against Pyo-wol with all his might. But if they do so now, it was clear that they would be far from catching the culprit who caused all of these things to happen.
Pyo-wol looked at Jin Geum-woo.
Jin Geum-woo did not avoid his gaze.
There was a suffocating silence between the two of them.
The confrontation between the two was so intense that Won Ga-young and Neung Soun even felt like the space around them was being distorted.
Suddenly, Pyo-wol looked at Soo-hyang�s body lying on the floor. Even at the moment she died, she had a comfortable expression, as if she wasn�t in pain.
Pyo-wol carefully hugged Soo-hyang�s body.
�Hu�!�
It was then that Jin Geum-woo exhaled the breath that he had been holding back. He interpreted Pyo-wol�s actions as a sign of accepting his proposal.
Even as Soo-hyang lost her breath, she still looked beautiful.�
Anyone who would look at her might think that she was just sleeping and that she would wake up anytime soon.
At that time, the courtesans of Divine Fragrance Pavilion who survived the fiasco came to Pyo-wol crying.
