Chapter 188: Love and Obsession (3) (2/2)
“No, it’s nothing It was pointless forit up”
Chi-Woo stared suspiciously as Noel smiled In the end, after Chi-Woo’s preparation was done, they parted ways When Chi-Woo went to theirthere
“hello”
“How could…!” Apoline was about to respond angrily when she stopped She scanned Chi-Woo fro his hair sorted out and putting on some nice clothes, he was quite…presentable?
“You look all right today”
“?”
“See how o around like that frolanced at the clothes he earing Noel had chosen his clothes and shoes
“Anyways, where are the others…?” Apoline trailed off when she saw another person arriving a bit later than Chi-Woo It was a woman with ivory hair that cascaded down her shoulders
“Why are you here…?” Apoline asked
“?”
“I decided to join you,” Noel replied
Apoline’s eyes narrowed as she replied, “I wasn’t inforht I had let everyone know by lared Noel Freya was one of those rare priestly heroes and a saintess who specialized in dealing with heretics The siend had allowed her to follow him meant Apoline had to take her seriously But above all, Apoline wondered why Noel had suddenly decided to participate
“This is surprising,” Apoline spoke with the intention to find out the reason “I thought you were just a house-guarding dog Were you getting bored with your owner’s absence?”
Even as she was insulted as a dog, Noel siht forafter all”
“What?”
“Don’t you think so? Rather than waiting for o out and catch so”
Apoline’s face stiffened She wondered, for Ru A in this expedition?’</eht it was possible Ru A for Apoline flicked her head away after glaring at Noel Maybe it would’ve been different if Chi-Hyun had come personally, but Noel was someone she could deal with And apart froone through all sorts of hardshi+ps
As the two conversed, Chi-Woo pondered There was only one reason why Noel would join the expedition, and that was her second condition Even when Chi-Woo was in a well-organized teao with her at first since Noel didn’t even have a denomination yet, but she dismissed his concern with a shake of her head
[Thank you for worrying, but I’m fine I am confident that I can at least take care of h Noel didn’t tell him in detail, it seemed she had some trick up her sleeves And as they waited, , Ru A on his back And with the arrival of Hahom Chi-Woo had personally recommended, all the members of the expedition teaer, and the nine quickly left the capital
The team marched quietly because Apoline was clearly in a bad mood Unable to bear the atmosphere, the man with all his hair pulled back started a conversation with Chi-Woo
“Well…I just want to thank you,” the man said When Chi-Woo turned to look at him, the man smiled and continued, “It sounded like you were in a difficult position, but you still came”
“There’s no need to thank me”
“No, thank you, really Whatever happens, I won’t forget that you came out to help us today”
Chi-Woo s words Like Hawa said, it seeood heart
“On that note, I think I haven’t properly introduced myself” The man extended a hand “My name is Jin-Cheon”
Chi-Woo took his hand and felt the man’s hardened skin “I’ll call you Mr Jin-Cheon fro to tell me your name as well?”
Chi-Woo quietly smiled He was used to this situation now and knew not to reveal his true na how Noel had responded when she first heard it
“I’m just from a no-name family”
“Really? You don’t look like it at all”
“You can call me in whatever waya vow of silence or so that requires you to throay your name?” The man chuckled “Fine, I won’t push since it seems to be a secret Then what should I call you frohtly “Dear sir see bro or little bro seems okay too”
“Bro is fine”
“Okay! Bro it is Well, nice to finally make your acquaintance officially!” Jin-Cheon shouted
Seeing his light and aard Jin-Cheon differently For some reason, he felt almost an immediate affection for the ht Jin-Cheon must be a hero from a martial arts world And while he shared a lively conversation with Jin-Cheon, they walked toward their destination, not knoould become of their relationshi+p in the future
Their march continued s they could call a ht, and thanks to that, they were able to reach the fortress withouttiroup continued to o past this place, ill arrive at the border area,” Hawa said in an emotionless voice in front of a vastThis was the border line, and once he passed it, he would be passing the line his brother had set for him It wasn’t too late for him to turn back now
“Teacher? Is there a proble”
But Chi-Woo collected hi crossed the line by leaving the mountain before he could crack the boulder He was already at a point of no return
