However, judging by the atmosphere in the demonic sect, that personal matter didn’t seem to be a good thing.
[They probably didn’t fare well after doing that to the Heavenly Demon. Not just the Heavenly Demon, but other demonic sect members likely won’t let them off either.]‘Because the Heavenly Demon is like a god to them.’
I could understand why Tak Mu Gwang wasn’t seen at the Heavenly Demon’s Sanctuary.
Tak Mu Gwang must have similarly provoked the Heavenly Demon in the original work as well.
That’s probably why the Great Force Divine Demon’s disciple had to urgently return to the demonic sect.
‘Thanks to that, I’ll be able to watch Ji Cheon Wu and Ak Wi Cheon’s match.’
The duel between Ak Wi Cheon and Ji Cheon Wu was the hottest topic at the Cheonhaje. Everyone was looking forward to their match.
‘More precisely, they’re looking forward to seeing how badly Ji Cheon Wu gets crushed.’
No one thought Ji Cheon Wu would defeat Ak Wi Cheon. Especially the demonic sect members.
They were angry at Ji Cheon Wu for daring to reject the Heavenly Demon’s offer to become his disciple.
They thought Ak Wi Cheon would teach Ji Cheon Wu a lesson.
The sound of people talking could be heard.
“Of course Ak Wi Cheon will win.”
“That boy, I heard he was a servant at the Nam Gung family.”
“He probably hasn’t even learned proper swordsmanship.”
Nam Gung Yu Cheong looked at the arena with a worried expression.
It was the same for Sin So Gyeong as well.
Sin So Gyeong clung tightly to my side, grabbing my arm.
I comforted Sin So Gyeong.
And Ji Cheon Wu and Ak Wi Cheon stood in front of the arena, receiving the gazes of others.
[This is the timeline separator]Hwang Cheon Gyeong, the head of the Cheonha Academy, let out a big sigh.
He was a martial artist who had been active in the martial arts world as one of the hundred great masters before retiring.
Meanwhile, he took on the role of head of the Cheonha Academy. That was a few years ago.
During those few years, his sighs had been increasing day by day.
‘Is this the future of the righteous faction’s martial arts world.’
The students of the Cheonha Academy had already lost all motivation.
In this preliminary round, even more people dropped out compared to the previous term’s preliminaries.
He turned his gaze.
A boy called Ji Cheon Wu was warming up on the arena. Unlike others, he had some expectations for Ji Cheon Wu.
‘I’ve been watching him because of what Bo Young said, to think the Heavenly Demon actually tried to take him as a disciple.’
He recalled what his niece Hwang Bo Young had said.
After returning from the Nam Gung family, Hwang Bo Young had been muttering strange things for a while.
His immature niece had said that with a frightened face.
Hwang Cheon Gyeong felt puzzled at that time. His niece Hwang Bo Young was a somewhat hot-tempered boy full of confidence.
And he was also one of the top skilled students at the Cheonha Academy, matching that confidence.
That’s why it was strange that Hwang Bo Young spoke about Ji Cheon Wu with a frightened face.
In fact, Hwang Bo Young even said this to Hwang Cheon Gyeong before this Cheonhaje began.
Hwang Cheon Gyeong nodded as he listened to Hwang Bo Young speak like that.
Certainly, after visiting the Nam Gung family, Hwang Bo Young had learned humility.
Hwang Cheon Gyeong agreed with Hwang Bo Young’s words. As time passed, Hwang Bo Young was showing a mature side.
The guy who always caused trouble at Cheonha Academy had changed after going to the Murim Alliance.
Hwang Bo Young shrugged as he said that.
Hwang Cheon Gyeong looked at his nephew. He remembered Hwang Bo Young always placing in the upper ranks at Cheonhaje.
His nephew had always been hot-tempered and hardworking, but at some point he stopped putting in effort.
Hwang Bo Young honestly confessed about his past.
Hwang Cheon Gyeong also understood his nephew’s words better than anyone.
He too had felt how many walls there were when he entered the martial arts world.
It wasn’t like he could overcome every wall he encountered. He too had experienced a lot of despair and felt like he was walking in pitch-black darkness where he couldn’t see an inch in front of him.
And he knew how difficult it was to escape that darkness.
Hwang Bo Young nodded as he said that. Hwang Cheon Gyeong could have listened to those words halfheartedly and let them pass.
Hwang Bo Young had only graduated from Cheonha Academy not long ago, he was still a youngster.
But Hwang Cheon Gyeong didn’t ignore his words. Because Hwang Bo Young’s eyes as he opened up looked brighter than ever before.
As Hwang Bo Young said, victory alone wasn’t everything that mattered.
What they wanted was possibility.
The possibility that someday they could give those monstrous demonic sect guys a taste of their own medicine.
He recalled the last words his nephew Hwang Bo Young had said.
Hwang Cheon Gyeong turned his gaze.
He could see Ak Wi Cheon standing there.
Emitting an aura so sharp that he couldn’t be seen as just a young boy.
Ji Cheon Wu standing in front of him looked very small in comparison.
Just like the hope they held in their hearts…
[This is the timeline separator]Ji Cheon Wu looked at Ak Wi Cheon standing in front of him.
He could feel it as soon as he saw Ak Wi Cheon.
‘He’s strong.’
He had felt it from afar too, but Ak Wi Cheon’s strength was overwhelming among those his age.
The aura emanating from his body was enough to make even Ji Cheon Wu shudder.
But Ji Cheon Wu had met many truly strong people before.
He had encountered demonic leaders a few times and felt his life threatened. So he knew.
When you meet those who are exceptionally stronger than you, you don’t even realize how strong they are.
But now he was feeling Ak Wi Cheon’s strength to the point of getting goosebumps.
So…
‘I can do it.’
He gripped his sword tightly.
Every night, he learned swordsmanship from the one who had borrowed Nam Gung Lin’s body. He taught Ji Cheon Wu swordsmanship he had never seen before.
He taught Ji Cheon Wu swordsmanship and how to approach the sword.
The one in Nam Gung Lin’s form said with a grin.
He smiled as if he was truly enjoying himself. At the same time, Nam Gung Lin’s image came to mind. Ji Cheon Wu also knew how people were talking.
They were saying he would be miserably defeated by the man in front of him.
‘That may be so.’
Ji Cheon Wu didn’t deny it.
The Ak Wi Cheon before him was strong and he was weaker than him. That was an objective fact.
Just looking at him gave a chilling feeling. But because of that, Ji Cheon Wu felt his heart racing.
Ji Cheon Wu enjoyed sparring with Nam Gung Lin too. It was because she was strong.
Ji Cheon Wu realized that he enjoyed facing strong opponents.
“You’re Ji Cheon Wu, right?”
Ji Cheon Wu nodded at Ak Wi Cheon’s words.
“I’m Ak Wi Cheon, representing the Heavenly Demon Divine Sect.”
Ak Wi Cheon was certainly different from others. He didn’t look down on Ji Cheon Wu.
“I’m Ji Cheon Wu.”
That’s why he was even more frightening.
Ak Wi Cheon made a fist and palm salute towards Ji Cheon Wu. Ji Cheon Wu also put his hands together and returned the salute.
The excited voices of people rang out. The atmosphere heated up in an instant.
“Woah!”
“It’s starting!”
The Murim Alliance member who came out as the judge shouted.
“Begin the duel!”
As soon as those words ended, Ak Wi Cheon’s sword headed towards Ji Cheon Wu.

Mini scene 1:
One day, the sun is high in the sky but Su Qingwan still hasn’t gotten up for class.
Servant Xiaoyuan: “Young prince, it’s time for class. You’ll be late otherwise.”
Su Qingwan says arrogantly: “I’m not going. I am the esteemed prince, my status is so noble, why should I suffer this hardship? Besides, isn’t learning all this just to please women? Hmph, they’re not worthy!”
Mini scene 2:
After Su Qingwan falls for someone, he completely changes. He no longer skips class and diligently learns how to be a good husband and father. But he discovers that Sister Yuner is always surrounded by admirers.
Drunk and overcome with jealousy one day, he clings to Lu Yuner, crying beautifully like a pear blossom in the rain.
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan likes Sister Yuner.”
Lu Yuner: “Young prince, you’re drunk.”
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan isn’t drunk. Qingwan likes Sister Yuner, likes you so much, likes you to bits…” Before he can finish, Lu Yuner’s eyes flash with emotion and she leans in closer.

1. The female lead is gentle, gracious, humble and polite but not weak. The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
2. 1v1, a bit torturous in the beginning but definitely sweet later on.
