Chapter 347: 347

Seven days had passed since Zhu Taikhan arrived at the Demonic Cult . He had been staying within the inner palace during those seven days .

At first, Zhu Taikhan was terrified by Chun Yeowun and the cultists that he tried to get the answer to the invitation and leave at once . But Yeowun said he needed time to think about it and offered Zhu Taikhan to rest, so he had to enter the cult without his intention . But unlike his expectation, the Demonic Cult treated Zhu Taikhan with their best .

‘What are they thinking?’

He couldn’t adapt to their changed attitude at first, but soon got used to the treatment he received and enjoyed his seven days . He even began to hope that maybe the Lord of the Cult would actually agree to the invitation this time around .

‘I needed some achievement to be noticed . Maybe this might do . ’

When he was first chosen as the messenger, no one from the Imperial Palace, including the Emperor, hoped the Lord of the Demonic Cult would accept the invitation . The Cult and the Alliance of evil forces always sent their representatives, so there was no hope in that . But if the Lord were to accept the invitation, then it was going to honor the name of the current Emperor .

‘His majesty said negotiations are powerful tools . ’

Perhaps this might even give Zhu Taikhan the chance to be recognized for his skill and become the Crown Prince . It was said that the Crown Prince would be chosen for this event, so Zhu Taikhan had to do whatever he could . That’s when someone knocked on the door .

“Your highness . It’s me, Yon Namgun . ”

“Come in . ”

It was late at night when Yon Namgun came to meet him . Yon Namgun bowed and Zhu Taikhan offered him a seat . He then spoke with a telepathic message .

[Commander . Do you think maybe the Lord of the Cult will accept the invitation this time?]

“Ah…”

Yon Namgun glanced around at the question and unleashed his energy . Zhu Taikhan became confused and Yon Namgun spoke .

“I’m sorry, your highness . I put a barrier around the room . You can speak freely . ”

“Oh! Good . You know me very well . ”

Zhu Taikhan then began to speak his thoughts freely . But there was something that they did not know . There was a powerful warrior listening to them speaking on top of the ceiling that Yon Namgun could not sense .

At the same time in the medical room of the inner palace… Demonic Doctor Baek Jongwu and other doctors were watching another doctor doing her treatment very carefully . The bald man with a pale face lying on the bed was former Lord, Chun Yujong . And on his hairless head, an old woman was putting needles on it . It was Godly Doctor Gam Rosu .

‘She’s been putting down needles for over 2 hours already . It’s amazing . ’

Baek Jongwu was astonished . Gam Rosu had been working on both herbal and needle techniques to heal Lord Chun Yujong’s damaged heart, and it shocked all doctors in the room .

‘She sure is the best doctor of Jianghu . ’

Baek Jongwu had pride in his skill as he was trained in the practice for his entire life, but Gam Rosu’s technique was at a much higher level . Her well-developed muscle proved to be real as she didn’t seem exhausted even after two hours of continued treatment . It was hard to believe that she was an old lady .

‘Haha… I should not slack off in training physically . ’

Baek Jongwu did learn internal energy, but he had not trained physically as much . Now, he learned the need for it . After working on it for a few more minutes, Gam Rosu finally stepped back .

“Demonic Doctor, you said?”

“Yes, Godly Doctor . ”

“Hmmph!”

“Oh, I mean, Granny Gam . ”

Gam Rosu insisted everyone address her as Granny Gam, except Yeowun . Gam Rosu gave Baek Jongwu a golden needle bottle .

“I need these needles to be taken out after 2 hours, but can you do that for me? I am too exhausted . I need to get some rest . ”

“Of course . We will take care of the rest . ”

It was the Demonic Doctor’s responsibility to look after the Lord’s family anyway . He was satisfied to have watched Godly Doctor’s treatment from close up . When Gam Rosu came out of the room, Yeowun was waiting outside with the Left and Right Guardian .

“How was it?”

“The damage has persisted for a while, but he will be okay . We will have to keep watch, but he will wake up within two weeks . ”

“Ah!”

It was surely amazing . Gam Rosu had done something that Nano, even with the vast knowledge of medical information and MRI couldn’t do . But maybe this was natural as injuries from martial arts had many mysteries that were not known in the future .

“Thank you, Doctor . ”

“It’s nothing . I just did what I had to do . ”

Gam Rosu seemed very exhausted, so Yeowun offered her to take a rest . When she returned, someone frantically came over to him . It was Huan Yi .

“Huhuhu… My Lord, I found it . ”

Yeowun immediately showed interest .

Next day afternoon, the Imperial Army had finished preparing to leave . All soldiers were lined up by the northern gate, and they were now only waiting for a signal to depart . Countless cultists came out to say farewell, and even Chun Yeowun came out to bid farewell to Zhu Taikhan .

Zhu Taikhan bowed and thanked him .

“I was treated very nicely, thanks to you . I will tell his majesty that I was treated well . ”

“It’s good that you had a good time . ”

The first impression had been the worst, but Zhu Taikhan was pleased nonetheless . The only thing he would hope for was Chun Yeowun’s acceptance to the invitation . A female servant was waiting by Yeowun with a scroll sealed with the Lord’s seal on the plate she was holding .

“So, have you decided, Lord Chun?”

Zhu Taikhan asked with an anticipating look . It was going to give him a great boost in reputation if the Lord of the Demonic Cult joined as it had not been possible in history .

“I’m sorry, but I will have to send a representative . ”

“W-what?!”

Zhu Taikhan frowned . He was so disappointed as he had been very hopeful . Yon Namgun and other Imperial Guards also became disappointed . They were treated nicely, so they hoped maybe the Lord of the Cult was willing to accept the invitation .

Yeowun bid them farewell until Zhu Taikhan got up to the carriage, but he was so disappointed that he did not want to look at the cultists anymore .

“Your highness, shall we leave?”

Yon Namgun asked from outside and Zhu Taikhan answered grumpily .

“Yeah, whatever . ”

“Depart!”

“Yes, sir!”

Two thousand soldiers began to leave for the Imperial Palace . Inside the carriage, Zhu Taikhan annoyingly looked at the scroll that had Yeowun’s answer . He kicked the scroll and mumbled .

“Dammit! Why did he treat me so nicely if he wasn’t even going to come? Ugh . ”

He wanted to unleash his annoyance, but he couldn’t do it as he had been the center of embarrassment too much recently . All he could do was to cuss in a small voice .

“Damn bastard . What does he think he is? If the Emperor invites him, then he should come right away and…”

It was then .

“W-what!”

Zhu Taikhan became so shocked that he had to stop cussing out the Lord of the Cult . He couldn’t feel any presence for quite a while after they left, but someone dropped down from the top of the carriage like a feather .

“L-Lord Ch- NNGH!”

He tried to call out the name, but a powerful energy made him close his mouth . Zhu Taikhan looked at the man with disbelief . The man was Chun Yeowun .

‘Since when did he enter the carriage?’

It was unbelievable . And Zhu Taikhan was actually talking ill about him .

Yeowun smiled coldly and sent a telepathic message to Zhu Taikhan .

[You must have been very mad about me, your highness . ]

‘Hiiiiek!’

Zhu Taikhan became pale and shook his head side to side frantically .
