Rebirth of an Idle Noblewoman || LK Adaptation

Only a handful of people in the ancient martial arts world knew who Tengen was and those who knew him personally only knew him as the person who guarded Delxun Forest. It could be said that Dubhe was the only person who was aware of his true identity.

However, it was also because of this knowledge that the Dubhe was surprised.

Initially, Tengen stated that he didn't care whether he found his master or not. After all, Tengen was known to many as a person who had lost his mind; Dubhe merely assumed that Tengen was just making nonsensical madman talk.

But what the hell did he say just now?!

That Lisa was his master?!

Of course, Tengen understood what the word 'master' meant!

B-But wasn't that person already long dead?! Dubhe was baffled. He didn't even care when the blade had already sliced through the skin of his neck. Dumbfoundedly, he stood there as if he had been struck by lightning!

"And to think you were saved by her hands! I can't believe you failed to recognize her aura!" The blade in Tengen's hand sliced deeper into Dubhe's throat. He had learned a little more about Lisa's experience when she first came to the ancient martial arts world over the past few days. During that period, her powers couldn't even be compared to Dubhe's, and she must've kept doubting herself, thinking that she really was going to bring disaster to their world. Such thoughts further fuelled Tengen's murderous rage, which was directed at Dubhe!

"T-Tengen." Dubhe stared blankly at Tengen. He didn't know what he could say at this point. "She really is..."

Tengen's words kept echoing in his mind. His entire body was trembling and his mind was empty.

Each time the image of her plain face flashed in his mind, he felt as if someone had plunged a knife into his heart.

"You get the hell away from here!" Tengen yelled as he slammed his foot into Dubhe's body. If she did not make the call to save this little brat, he would've killed him by now!

Theoretically, Dubhe's skill would've warranted him the ability to dodge Tengen's attack. However, he did not choose to do so. He accepted the heavy blow as his punishment, upon which, a red stream of blood started flowing from the corner of his mouth.

Seeing Dubhe standing there as if his soul had been completely shattered somewhat calmed Tengen down. Of course, he understood the dilemma Dubhe was going through at the moment. This was the punishment he deserved for all the sins he had committed up until this point.

Tengen gave Dubhe a cold glare before storming off for good.

Tengen picked up his bottle of liquor and arrived unannounced at the doorstep of the Jeon family manor. The butler serving the Jeon family popped out of the door. "Mr. Tengen, I'm afraid the young mistress has already gone to bed. It would be better for you to come tomorrow instead."

Tengen paused for a moment when he heard what the butler said. He peered down at his phone to realize that it was already 10 pm now.

"Mister butler, care for a drink?" asked Tengen while passing his bottle towards him.

The butler waved his hand. "Your offer is much appreciated but unfortunately, I do not drink."

"You don't drink? Then is there even a point in living?" Tengen did not insist on seeing his master right away but he did not turn around immediately either. He raised his bottle to his lips and took a swig. He felt his eyelids grow heavier by the moment. "Hey, mister butler, lemme ask you something."

The butler smiled at Tengen.

Tengen glanced back at him before letting out a great sigh. "Back then, master... Miss Lalisa, she was accused of being the source of calamity for this world. What happened afterward?" He suddenly recalled Lisa's instruction to stop referring to her as his master.
