"Yeah? But so what?" Gang Reyong scoffed coldly:
"Does that change the fact that your life is in my hands?"
"I have a feeling you won’t kill me," she said with a calm smile.
"..."
Gang Reyong paused, his gaze sharp. Her soul was unmistakably pure—that much was clear. But he wasn’t so easily deceived. There was still something hidden within her, something that could become a threat.
If it were up to him, he would kill her without mercy. But the main body, Eryke, had already spoken:
"Spare her. Observe her closely. Once the Seer shows up, we’ll plan carefully to trap her and settle it once and for all."
That was Eryke’s command.
And Gang Reyong obeyed, without hesitation.
As he looked at her with his eerie black pupils, he couldn’t shake the feeling that this woman reminded him of Hak Soo.
Feeling the weight of Gang Reyong’s silent stare, the woman shifted slightly, a hint of awkwardness in her expression.
To be honest, Gang Reyong was barely half her height, and his frame was lean and scrawny.
To her, he looked like nothing more than a frail child. The only truly frightening thing about him was his army.
After a long moment of quiet, Gang Reyong finally spoke:
"You’re interesting. What’s your name?"
"Song Mi-Hi," she replied, tilting her head.
"Will you tell me how you predict the future?" Gang Reyong asked, a curious tone in his voice and a mysterious glint in his eyes.
"Future?" A flicker of puzzlement crossed her face, but she quickly nodded, thumping her chest with pride, "It’s pretty easy! We just observe the stars in the sky and perform a special set of mantras that align our Qi with them. That reveals a part of the future to us, but sometimes, it can be wrong."
"Wrong?" Gang Reyong asked, his expression blank.
"That’s right. It requires perfect harmony and synchronization with our unique Qi. Even the slightest misalignment, just a tiny angle off, can distort the prediction. And even when done perfectly, there can still be variation."
"Can you teach me?" Gang Reyong asked, then paused thoughtfully. "Also... don’t you want revenge for your master?"
Song Mi-Hi shook her head.
"One reaps what they sow. Since she chose to commit such atrocities, she must also face the consequences."
"Oh." Gang Reyong responded simply, saying no more with a calm and cold expression.
Seeing that he had gone quiet, Song Mi-Hi gave a casual shrug and fell silent as well, for some reason she felt that she escaped a life or death situation.
Gang Reyong then turned to organizing the group and looked toward the twelve elders.
"Where are the Martial Arts and Cultivation techniques?" he asked.
"Song Mi-Hi knows about it," one of them replied.
Gang Reyong turned to her. She shrugged.
"Fine."
