Ban Suh Jung entered the inner halls of the Murim Alliance. Since Elder Bing couldn’t follow her any further, he was forced to wait outside.
The person who was waiting at the guest pavilion was Sa Ma Chun.
“Welcome Manager Ban.”
“It is an honor to meet you Chancellor Sa.”
“Now, please sit.”
Wine was already prepared at the table. However, considering that his guest was a female it was inappropriate for him to prepare alcohol beforehand.
Regardless of whether it was a male or female, serving alcohol on their first meeting was unacceptable in these sorts of situations. Usually at the first meeting, it was more appropriate to serve tea.
“Thank you for coming on such a short notice.”
“No, I should have come earlier.”
“Ha ha. Now, please have a cup.”
She would have gladly taken a cup, even on her first meeting with someone, if that person had a good character. However, she knew what kind of person was in front of her.
He was someone who had done all sort of evil deeds alongside the Heavenly Dao Gate.
He didn’t deserve to be the chancellor, nor did he have the ability to be one. Rather than being a chancellor he is more suited for politics.
Regardless of her thoughts, her outer appearance looked perfectly normal. She knew how to act in these sorts of situations. If the person who she was talking to was someone with a good character, then she could be honest as they won’t take too much offense in it. However, for people like Sa Ma Chun, if you made one wrong move then you would be finished.
Then, someone else entered the room.
“Have you called me?”
The person who arrived was Kal Sa Ryang.
He was rather surprised to see Ban Suh Jung here, and the same went for her. Who would have expected that these two would meet at this place?
“Ah, it seems like you know each other.”
Sa Ma Chun asked as if he didn’t know about the relation between the two of them.
However Kal Sa Ryang, as well as Ban Suh Jung, knew that this meeting was set up by Sa Ma Chun.
“It has been a long time, have you been well?” The first to speak and break the silence was Ban Suh Jung.
Kal Sa Ryang respectfully replied, “Yes, I have been well.”
But Ban Sa Jung felt the sadness in his response. She could feel his true thoughts in his words: ‘How could I be well after losing my master?’
Kal Sa Ryang handed Sa Ma Chun the doc.u.ments that he brought.
“Here are the doc.u.ments that you requested.”
“Ha ha, thank you. Here, have a drink since you are here.”
“Since I am still working, please take it as I have received one from you. Then I will take my leave.”
“Work hard.”
Sa Ma Chun did not know that these two had feelings for each other. The reason why he brought Kal Sa Ryang here was to humiliate him in front of her. It would be humiliating enough to make him do this sort of thing in front of others, and Sa Ma Chun enjoyed humiliating and mentally straining Kal Sa Ryang like this.
Right as Kal Sa Ryang was about to leave Sa Ma Chun said, “He was such a talented person.”
He said it in a past tense so that he would humiliate Kal Sa Ryang even more.
Ban Suh Jung said it while smiling, “There are many talented people in Kang Ho. However, there aren’t many people who are needed for the age.”
Although she said it emotionlessly, it was like honey in Sa Ma Chun’s ears.
He was laughing and thinking, ‘Yes, that is true.’
That was what power tasted like. If he wasn’t the chancellor how could he force her to drink the alcohol, and how could he force her to say something like this? If it was him from before he became chancellor, it would have been almost impossible to even meet the manager of the Heavenly Net Guild.
This was his reward for cleaning up after the Heavenly Dao Gates messes and working for their favor.
After a few exchanges, it was time for her to leave.
“It was nice to see you, I’ll meet you again, sir.”
“Yes, let’s meet again.”
Before she left, she took out a piece of paper from her robe.
“This was a piece of information that just came into our guild. I brought this to you as a present for our first meeting.”
After reading what was written on the paper, Sa Ma Chun was surprised.
“Is this really something that was left behind by the previous mengju?”
“Yes, we have already confirmed it.”
“How did you acquire this?”
Ban Suh Jung replied with a smile, “As you know, information in Kang Ho naturally flows like this. Just like how the seasons change naturally.”
Sa Ma Chun didn’t ask any further. This was a code that all information merchants never broke. They would never reveal the sources of their information, and she even brought this piece of news as a gift.
Ban Suh Jung was debating whether to hand this information over or not. She was worried how it would affect Kal Sa Ryang. However, after seeing Kal Sa Ryang like this she decided to share this information.
She quickly left the guest pavilion and Sa Ma Chun followed soon after.

“Something seems fishy,” Said Jo Byuk, after hearing the story. “And the timing is too close sir.”
“Didn’t she say that it was personally written by the Mengju?”
“Someone could have forged it.”
“It contained the Mengju’s personal sword art within it. No one but he knows it. So how can you explain that?”
“But we can’t prove whether or not it was truly is his.”
“We should wait first, since we are looking into it.”
Sa Ma Chun already handed off the paper to the person who was the best at this sort of work.
“If it comes out your way, then it shows that the Heavenly Net Guild is not giving me face.”
He didn’t believe that they would be that foolish. Fighting against him was like fighting against the Alliance itself.
“Would they really risk their lives trying something like that?”
