Chapter 151: Worth of a heir (5)

‘So… it’s true that the leader of the Poison Clan really died . ’

The guard was really shocked . The death of the Poison Clan’s leader, Baek Oh, was already widely known throughout the cult . When people heard that Baek Oh died from participating in the sixth test of the academy, they were curious as to who this Chun Yeowun was .

‘He’s merely a teenager and already at the superior level…!’

It was hard to believe . This young man in front of him was either equal to or was a stronger warrior than Huan Yi the Thousand Faces . But why was Chun Yeowun, who should still be at the academy, standing here? One of other guards spoke .

“I’ll let the elder know . Can you wait here please?”

“Yes . ”

The guard opened a small door on the right next to the giant door and walked in . Hu Bong whispered to Ko Wanghur, “This place is creepy… it feels like a ghost might come out . ”

“I know . ”

Even Ko Wanghur seemed to grow tense from the creepy atmosphere beyond the small door . He was large and muscular, but he had a weakness for creepy things like this .

‘It’s been a long time… but it’s still creepy . ’

Mun Ku visited this place with her grandfather Mun Yun before so she didn’t realize it back then, but it was much more creepy than she remembered . Huan Yi was known for his weirdness even among all 12 elders .

‘I hope the Prince can persuade him . ’

The reason they were here was to get support from Huan Yi . He was the leader of one of the highest ranking clans and few elders along with Mun Yun who did not side with any of the six clans .

‘It would’ve been better if gramps were here . ’

With Baek Oh’s rank falling down to the 12th rank, Mun Yun’s rank had gone up automatically from 9th to 8th, which put him in a spot where he needed to go out of the cult with the Lord . Even if Mun Ku was granddaughter of Huan Yi’s friend, it didn’t seem like it will help much unless Mun Yun himself came with them .

The sound of someone coming over was heard beyond the giant door . There were two people who came over a small door on the right . One was the guard who walked in to notify the arrival of a guest, and another was handsome man with his hair pinned up . He wore red silk clothes with yellow butterflies sewn on it . It was a man, but he had makeup on his face like a female, and that gave him a feminine look .

‘Is there anyone who’s normal here?’

Hu Bong almost spoke out loud but he held back . The red-clothed man bowed to them politely and greeted them .

“Greetings . I am Nhu Yayen, advisor of the elders . I heard the 12th elder was here… are you the elder?”

He even talked like a woman . But he was looking at Ko Wanghur, not Chun Yeowun . Ko Wanghur’s large body was enough to draw attention from people who saw them first .

“Uh… no . He is my master . ”

Ko Wanghur pointed at Chun Yeowun . Nhu Yayen then covered his mouth femininely and laughed .

“Oh, I’m so sorry . I have made a mistake . Welcome, 12th Elder . ”

“I’m Chun Yeowun . ”

Chun Yeowun bowed without any change in expression . Nhu Yayen then ordered the guards to open the giant door and spoke to Yeowun .

“My master is waiting for you in the guest room . He asks you to join him for tea . Please come in . ”

“Thank you for greeting us at such an hour . ”

And when Yeowun tried to go in with his members, guards blocked them . Yeowun narrowed his eyes and turned to Nhu Yayen .

“Oh! My bad . My master only wants to see you alone . ”

“…They’re my people . ”

“I’m sorry, but Master is very shy person… please be considerate . ”

He spoke politely, but it was apparent that he wouldn’t allow anyone else to enter . But Yeowun was in no place to complain as it was him who needed to ask for a favor here .

“Excuse me, but how can you be sure that my master will not be in danger if he goes in alone?”

Ko Wanghur first voiced out his complaints . Nhu Yayen then smiled and answered, “It’s rare to see a great man like you with such great honor! Rest assured, my master will not be rude against elders of our cult . Hehe… why don’t we do this? I’ll let one person come . I can’t take any more or my master will be angry at me . ”

“Hah!”

Hu Bong scoffed dumbfoundedly . It didn’t seem like having one would change anything, but it was better than nothing . As people were not sure of who to go in, Mun Ku volunteered .

“I’ll go . ”

She was the only one who had seen Huan Yi, so everyone agreed .

“Hmm…”

Nhu Yayen watched Mun Ku weirdly . Soon, Chun Yeowun and Mun Ku followed Nhu Yayen into the courtyard of the Ghost Illusion Clan’s mansion . As they walked past the giant door, they were greeted with the courtyard full of rocks and dolls made from haystacks that had red clothes . All of these dolls also had masks over them which gave a more creepy vibe to the place .

‘What a taste . ’

Yeowun thought it was weird from the outside, but it looked much weirder on the inside . As they moved past the small building toward the rear, there was lavishly-decorated guesthouse .

“Master, here’s the guest . ”
