Chapter 100
Not long ago, Woon-hwi had seen people massacred by the Snow Mountain Black Bear.
It was when he was with Sim Mun-ryong, so it wasn’t that long ago.
At that time, he had to rush to Yang-ryeong, so he temporarily set it aside, but now that he had set foot in the Ice Sea Region, he couldn’t just pass by.
Woon-hwi still remembers.
“It’s Yaksu.”
“Yaksu… isn’t that a small city on the outskirts of the Ice Sea Region?”
“Yes. That’s the same Yaksu where the head of the Ye family serves as branch manager.”
Seol Yeon-hwa was truly curious.
“Why there of all places?”
“There’s something I need to take care of.”
“Something to take care of… Should I help?”
Woon-hwi shook his head.
“Cheon Pung and I should be enough.”
“…Still, you’re going this quickly? Seolhwa Mountain Villa will give you a great reward… at least receive that before you go.”
Seolhwa Mountain Villa was the name of Seol Yeon-hwa and Seol Mu-ryun’s maternal sect.
Seolhwa Mountain Villa, famous for its unique martial art called the Seolhwa Technique, had produced martial artists of the Five Realms of Martial God for generations, and among them, the highest-level martial artist had reached the Great Void Formless realm.
Of course, that was about 300 years ago, and since then, the highest expert they had produced was at Heaven-Human Unity, but it was certainly a sect with tremendous potential.
Currently, Man Seok-cheong, the master of Seolhwa Mountain Villa, is an expert of Heaven-Human Unity who rules the Wind Wall region north of Snow Palace.
What was particularly impressive was their military strength – they had about forty warriors of the Four Stages of Heaven and Earth alone, and commanded hundreds of martial artists below them.
This should have been mentioned at least once – the maternal sects were no different from branches of Snow Palace, just like the Original Blood Sect’s branches. The only difference was that they were bound by blood relations.
Woon-hwi shook his head.
“I merely did what needed to be done. And I’ve already received my reward.”
“You received it? When?”
“Since I was able to confirm second brother’s heart, what more could I desire?”
“…You know you’ve become really strange, right?”
He smiled silently.
“I’ll be going.”
Seol Yeon-hwa couldn’t stop Woon-hwi as he turned away.
It felt like he had grown too much in an instant, beyond just being dignified.
Were his shoulders always that broad?

The path to Yaksu wasn’t particularly treacherous.
Since there was no reason to hurry like when they came to the Ice Sea Region, Woon-hwi and Cheon Pung traveled leisurely.
They replenished their depleted internal energy and reviewed martial arts in their minds.
Two days.
They entered Yaksu in exactly two days.
Cheon Pung asked.
“Seolhwa Mountain Villa… isn’t that a tremendous sect?”
“It is a tremendous sect.”
“Don’t you feel regret? I heard that fierce cold waves strike the Wind Wall, creating rare medicinal herbs and spirit pills… They would surely give you something incredible…”
Woon-hwi looked up.
“Cheon Pung.”
“Yes, Branch Manager.”
“Spirit pills aren’t good just because you consume many of them.”
“…Pardon?”
“Spirit pills are condensed essence of heaven and earth, and carelessly taking them also goes against the natural order. A true master knows the moment when spirit pills are needed. And until that moment comes, they never show greed.”
Woon-hwi’s cold gaze fixed on Cheon Pung.
“Why don’t they show greed? It’s simple. Because it disrupts balance. Training resources were created partly to substitute for spirit pills, but their fundamental purpose is to temper the body to better absorb spirit pills.”
This wasn’t a rebuke.
It was a teaching.
“I’ll take care of the spirit pills you need, so until then, prioritize consuming training resources. The Medicine Hall I built inside the branch office will soon receive intermediate training resources, so start with those.”
Cheon Pung nodded with a resolute expression.
“I will engrave your teachings deep in my heart, Branch Manager.”
Soon the carriage stopped.
“Lord Hyeon Seol-rin. We’ve arrived at Yang Family Villa.”
At Yang Cheol’s words, Woon-hwi and Cheon Pung got out of the carriage.
This was in front of Yang Family Villa’s main gate.
And at the same time, Yang Family Villa’s guard captain came running out.
“Has Lord Hyeon Seol-rin arrived?!”
The bewilderment that permeated not only his expression but also his voice was so blatant that anyone could notice it.
This was natural.
He couldn’t have expected one of the Polar Descendants to visit so suddenly.
Even though the second son Seol Mu-ryun was the general commander of the Ice Sea Region, he always sent word when visiting. But now it wasn’t even the second son, but the youngest coming to Yaksu?
This was truly beyond unexpected – it was an incomprehensible situation.
“Tell the villa master to spare some time.”
At Woon-hwi’s calm words, the guard captain gulped.
“Yes… I will do so.”
It was just as Yang Ju-gang-geom Yeon Cheol, the guard captain, was about to turn around.
From over there, Yang Jong-myeong, the master of Yang Family Villa who was shocked by news of the Polar Descendant’s visit, came running out in his socks.
Behind him, the retainers of Yang Family Villa were following in a line.
It was quite a spectacle in many ways.
Yang Jong-myeong immediately performed the Embracing Fist.
“For Lord Hyeon Seol-rin to visit… this is truly an honor.”
Looking at Yang Jong-myeong, Woon-hwi spoke briefly.
“Let’s move to another place.”
“Yes… I’ll guide you to Clear Wind Pavilion.”
In the brief moment Yang Jong-myeong guided Woon-hwi and Cheon Pung to Clear Wind Pavilion, one of the retainers at the very back called a servant.
His actions were very cautious.
Like someone who had something to hide.
He spoke in a quiet voice.
“Go immediately and inform Branch Manager Ye of the current situation.”
“Understood.”
The servant immediately turned around, and the retainer followed the villa master toward Clear Wind Pavilion.
