Possessing Nothing Novel (쥐뿔도 없는 회귀)

Chapter 145 - Reunion (3)

Guan Hu must not have been that famous. It wasn't a name that Lee Sungmin was familiar with, as he searched through his memories. Lee Sungmin approached the pavilion as Guan Hu raised his bowed head and offered Lee Sungmin to take a seat.

"Ghost Gun, if I may ask, why did you protect the Minor Heavenly Demon?"

"Do I have to answer?"

"Well, I have a lot of questions. You're not quite famous in this world yet, are you? After killing the Solitary Blade Dokgo, you got the nickname 'Ghost Gun'. But, is that really all there is? Only half a year ago, you overpowered the Crazy Heavenly Demon in northern Travia. After that, you killed Baek Museon who became a vampire."

Those things were being rumored? Lee Sungmin slightly clicked his tongue. It was true that he clashed with the Crazy Heavenly Demon outside the gates of Travia and knocked him down. The fight was loud, so there must have been someone who witnessed it.

When he first went to Travia, Lee Sungmin rode a carriage, and he thought the horseman was a member of the Haomun Sect.

(T/N The Haomun sect is a sect like the beggars/wanderers sect in regards to dealing with information. The Beggars Sect is with the Orthodox Factions and the Haomun is with the Heretical/Unorthodox Factions)

"I don't know why the Crazy Heavenly Demon is traveling with you, but your track record is more like a political faction's consultative branch. The Ghost Blade and the Crazy Heavenly Demon, they were all huge merits. Perhaps, if you went to the Orthodox Factions, you could have been treated well in recognition of your contributions."

"What are you trying to imply?"

"I'm asking because I don't understand your actions at all. Why did you protect the Minor Heavenly Demon from Ironclad? Following your track record it doesn't make any sense. What is the relationship between you and the Minor Heavenly Demon?"

"Friend.", Lee Sungmin answered while carefully putting down Wijihoyeon.

Guan Hu opened his eyes wide in shock. He had been taking turns watching Lee Sungmin and Wijihoyeon for a while and he bursted into laughter.

"I see. Your friend...There are a lot of followers of the Minor Heavenly Demon, but I've never heard of her friend."

"We met 10 years ago in Genavis. Then the next thing I knew... We became friends."

"So you stopped Ironclad for her?"

"We originally promised to meet in this city today. I didn't even think this event was going to happen with Ironclad."

"What are your plans for the future?", Guan Hu asked with a smile, "Whatever the reason may be, it's no doubt that you've saved the Minor Heavenly Demon by overpowering the Ironclad. It was witnessed by many, and the rumors will spread quickly. It is said that the Othodox Factions have departed from Crohn, so they'll probably arrive here as early as today or tomorrow at the latest."

"That's why I'm here."

"What do you want from the Samaryunju?"

"It's a hassle to be chased, I think anybody would agree to that. If it is a group that is well organized and as powerful as the Orthodox, then it might be dangerous. They're outstanding individuals and I could somehow deal with them. But there's too many of them."

"Only poor people want the protection of the Samaryunju. Do you know what that means?"

"Get to the point."

"Haha... don't be too angry. To be protected by Samaryunju means to be trusted by the Sama Order. In the case of Minor Heavenly Demon Wijihoyeon, who has been wandering without power, looks like she wants to become a comrade of the Samaryunju."
