Island Elegance, One Lineage (5)
It was a word spoken out of a sudden surge of emotion.
The murmurs of the scholars pierced not the ears, but the heart.
"Couldn't find their whereabouts? All of them?" For the first time, the young boy acted recklessly.
To exclude Ma Gwang-ik from consideration from now on? It's a statement hard to make without assuming total annihilation.
Even if all circumstances suggested so, it was not something Jeong Yeon-shin should have concluded.
The Jeong family was nothing.
Ma Gwang-ik was his home.
"Young hero of Island Elegance."
"Oh dear..."
"You've come to a place you shouldn't have."
Some scholars stood up from their seats.
They were those who viewed Jeong Yeon-shin favorably.
Each of them offered a fist salute or a silent bow, but their expressions were uncomfortable compared to their upright postures.
Among the blue ranks of Ma Gwang-ik, the only available expert listened to the staff's judgment.
Anyone would have been troubled.
"Currently, the main force, excluding myself, Shin So-bin, and Tae Yeom-ryong, numbers twenty-five."
Jeong Yeon-shin spoke, trying to calm his tone.
"I heard what Scholar Geum Jo-mun said earlier. Two in white were killed. Were you perhaps referring to Ma Gwang-ik?" There was indeed a voice that reached his ears.
