"You're back."

"I greet the Sect Leader…."

Upon arriving at the Mount Hua Sect, Shin Noya was already waiting for us.

The disciples quickly bowed in respect upon seeing him.

"Well done."

"Ugh…"

Shin Noya nodded slightly with a faint smile.

That overly kind expression annoyed me for some reason.

"It's late. Leave the clean-up for tomorrow and get some rest."

"Sect Leader…"

At the mention of rest, Gubong stepped forward slightly. It seemed like he had something to say, but—@@novelbin@@

"Rest. I'll hear the details from the one behind you later."

Shin Noya pointed at me as he spoke.

Hearing that, Gubong's eyes widened.

"Sect Leader, but there’s still a report—"

"The report can wait until tomorrow. Now go."

"But…"

"Go."

"..."

At Shin Noya’s firm words, Gubong bit his lip.

He seemed to have more to say, but—

"…Understood."

He swallowed his words and bowed his head instead.

"Dismissed."

At his command, the disciples bowed in respect and began to disperse.

Even as Gubong left, he kept glancing back at Shin Noya and me.

Especially at me.

His expression was clear.

It looked like he wanted something from me. Judging by that, it was probably—

‘He's hoping I won’t say anything about what happened. That must be it.’

It was obvious.

He was practically pleading with his eyes, asking me to stay quiet.

‘And why should I care?’

A man making a face like that? It wasn’t going to work on me.

Naturally,

I intended to spill everything.

"Let’s go."

Shin Noya said as he headed inside.

Watching him leave, I turned to Cheonma.

"Go wait somewhere."
