Sword Venerable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…How come?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a very sudden farewell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I expected that Wi Seol-Ah would leave the Gu Clan one day,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I didn't expect her to leave this early.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Immortal Healer as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When I heard that the Sword Venerable left with Wi Seol-Ah, I was faced with the news of the Immortal Healer leaving as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of that, she asked the clan if they really disappeared and the butler told her that the two left the clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This means that Father already knew about this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Sword Venerable and Wi Seol-Ah leaving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Father already knew that this was going to happen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…How come she didn't tell me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I wondered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why didn't Wi Seol-Ah tell me anything about this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did she not know that she would leave?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, why didn't she even leave a letter?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of a situation was she in for her to…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As my thoughts were sinking deeper…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grab.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I felt someone grabbing my hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Namgung Bi-ah who was walking with me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…Calm down…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked up at me slightly with a worried gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Considering how I used to look up to her before, it felt strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What do you mean calm down, I'm fine.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I said, pretending like nothing was wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My mind was being torn apart as if there was an earthquake inside, but I couldn't afford to let it show.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, even if I did try to hide it, Namgung Bi-ah would probably notice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Did you see?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…What…?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Her leaving.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Namgung Bi-ah shook her head after hearing my question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn't see it either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…I see.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I wondered why she left so suddenly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just why.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was strange that she stayed in the clan for that long to begin with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite the thoughts that stung me, that was the reality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wi Seol-Ah spending that much time with me didn't really seem right to begin with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When I met Wi Seol-Ah for the second time in my past life,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was around the time I was dragged away by the Fifth Army to the battlefront because I caused a big trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Wi Seol-Ah I knew at that time was a lot different from the current Wi Seol-Ah.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That meeting only lasted for a short time too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When we met properly, it was when Wi Seol-Ah was being talked about a lot since it was revealed that she was the official successor of the Sword Venerable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Which is why Wi Seol-Ah being with me was strange to begin with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through coincidences after coincidences, a few things changed because of my regression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And after getting twisted and twisted, to think it would end up like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite knowing all of that, my mind became empty after hearing that Wi Seol-Ah disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did I think that I could be with her forever just because we were together for some time?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What a shameful desire I had.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I forgot my place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-Young Master!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing a voice, I immediately turned around without a second thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though I knew that Wi Seol-Ah wouldn't be there when I turned around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Am I going crazy?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is Wi Seol-Ah leaving the clan really something that could mess up my mind this much?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or if that wasn't it, is it because I realized that Wi Seol-Ah mattered to me more than I thought?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even I thought that I was way too shaken up by this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>****************\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few days passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing my closed-door training and taking care of some things that had piled up, I trained repeatedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I filled up the training area with flames and erased them repeatedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mere training didn't tire out my stabilized Qi that I had achieved in my closed-door training, so I was able to use it endlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Drawing a line with the end of my hand, I burned away my emotions with flames.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Shin, who I could ask for some advice, was not here right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would be asleep for a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That's what the conversation I had with the beast was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I gained many things in my closed-door training, but it was also a time that made me question more things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I had to search endlessly for the reason for that bastard being inside my body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was I able to find the answer in the end?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was not able to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I might not have been able to find the answer, but I had a brief understanding of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If I had to compare, it was an understanding small like a fingernail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, even that much was too much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…It was actually rather overwhelming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If I had shown a little more greed during my conversation with that bastard, I might have been devoured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In hindsight, that would have definitely happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[…Grrr… Crk…]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just look at it now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I could feel the bastard regaining its appetite as if it was not satisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…It would have been better if I didn't know about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If I didn't know about the danger of this bastard, I would feel more comfortable instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because that would mean that there would be one less thing for me to worry about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[…Food…]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While hearing an unsatisfied mumbling voice, I clenched my teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shut up, you'll be eating well in a bit without you having to press me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[…Grrrr…]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bastard might be growling, but it probably understood me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My flame was still complemented with the Taoist energy for it to show the same pinkish red color.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Taoist energy was able to stabilize the flow of the reckless energy of the Gu Clan and it played the role of suppressing the recoil of a rough martial art style.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clench.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I clenched my fist controlling my Qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Qi that started its flow from my dantian filled up my middle dantian, which made the flame that I summoned denser and larger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While staring at my flame, I started flowing another type of energy that hid inside my body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My body bulked up for an instant as I gained huge power and the heat I was charging exploded to fill up my surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Along with that…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blaaaze!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pinkish red color of my flame gradually turned into a blue color.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I mixed Blood Qi within my flames.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When I stared at the blue flame that burned passionately in front of my eyes, the bastard complained in my mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[…This… I don't… like it…]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bastard had a dislike for Blood Qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be more precise, the bastard wanted to devour it, but it felt like it didn't like the energy inside my body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stop complaining and stay still.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I didn't care for the bastard's opinion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After swinging my blue flames in the air a few times while controlling it…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I turned off the flame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whew…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It still felt difficult for me to use it for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If I tried to endure it, I think I could for a few minutes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I would probably endure it for that long if I tried my hardest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that was only possible if I didn't think about the recoil I would face after.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Drip… Drip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though I never sweated once during my physical training, I started to sweat now, just because I did this for a little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected, it doesn't have to do with how much Qi I possess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how much Qi I possessed in my body or how skilled I was in controlling it, it felt like none of that mattered when it came to using Blood Qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I'll have to not use it unless I really have to.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unless I was in a really dangerous situation, it was wise for me to not use Blood Qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because I also had to find out why the Blood Fiend put this inside my body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As I was catching my breath after finishing my training briefly, I felt a presence coming this way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good work.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…Ah, thank… “\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I naturally reached out my hand, but paused midway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was because the person handing me water after my training had changed and that felt awkward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Young Master…?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It's nothing. Thanks.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hongwa stared at me strangely because of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I avoided eye contact and drank the water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After quenching my thirst, I asked Hongwa with a kind tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Nothing came, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, nothing came.
