Chapter 53. The Star of The North Sea Ice Palace
“What are you doing, senior?”
“Mm? Can’t you see? I’m looking at myself in a mirror.”
“Wait. Weren’t you using that thing since a while back?”
“Fufu, of course! After all, you just can’t get tired of this face of mine.”
“…….”
“These beautiful black eyebrows, skin like silk, and this luscious black hair. Add to that, a body perfectly balanced out without any excess fat! Kya– even a god would be jealous of my body. Don’t you think so?”
(ED: Did he just Kya?)
“…….What do you want to hear from me?”
“Fufu, what would an ugly girl like you know about this senior’s deep anguish?”
The man who had been staring at the mirror with a happy face since a while back. This man’s name was Juk Hyul Myung (赤血明).
“Fuu……. so this is why master told me to keep an eye on you.”
“Mm? Why?”
“You’re immature, unlike your appearance.”
“What?”
The woman stuck out her tongue and ran away. That woman’s name was Ju Da Hye (朱多慧). Looking at Ju Da Hye running away like the wind, Juk Hyul Myung smirked.

“Trying to run away from me… well, the attempt is kind of praiseworthy.”
Juk Hyul Myung said this as he put his right hand up. He then smirked a little, and grabbed the thin air. After doing so, he jerked his right hand back violently.
“A, ahh! Senior! It hurts!”
“Fufu, your attempt was praiseworthy, but you picked the wrong opponent this time. So today, I’ll take my time to teach you a lesson myself.”
“D, did you forget what our master told you to do? You’re going to be late if you don’t go now, you know?”
Juk Hyul Myung, who had been pulling on his junior’s cheeks with an evil face, made a confused expression.
“Mm? Late?”
“Yeah, you only have an hour left.”
Juk Hyul Myung was greatly surprised when he heard the junior’s words.
“What! Already? Damn, wait downstairs. I’ll be out as soon as possible.”
Juk Hyul Myung hurriedly packed up. This kind of a thing always happened.
It’s not the first time he got too absorbed in looking at himself that he got scolded by his master for being late.
‘Haa… the heavens are too harsh on me. Why couldn’t they make me a little less perfect?’
When Juk Hyul Myung walked outside thinking this, he was greeted by two horses. Ju Da Hye handed him one of the reins and spoke up.
“If you arrive late to the meeting again, master’s probably gonna go grind you up.”
“Fufu, you think I will just stand there and take that?”
“Instead of saying something like that to me, why don’t you go say that to master instead?”
“Are you interested in my position as a senior?”
“No.”
“Then why are you trying to kill me by using master?”
“W, when did I ever try that?”
“Now. You tried to do it now, you cocky little girl.”
Juk Hyul Myung said this as he pinched one of Ju Da Hye’s cheek’s and pulled on it. Ju Da Hye began to shout loudly as she tapped on the horse’s head out of pain.
“Ahh! Sorry, senior. I won’t do it again, so please let go!”
“Hm. Well, it won’t be good if your ugly face gets even uglier. My eyes would rot if that happened.”
When Juk Hyul Myung let go with a disappointed face, Ju Da Hye quickly ran ahead and shouted at Juk Hyul Myung.
“I, I’m going to go tell on you!”
“Fufu, aren’t you afraid of my revenge?”
The two fought like this as they neared the meeting place, the First Sichuan Building (四川第一樓) (TL: Dunno exact TL)

“You’re late.”
“Sorry, master. The roads were kind of rough. Plus, it was our first time coming here, right? Hahaha.”
When Juk Hyul Myung said this, Ju Da Hye pouted a little as if she was discontent with the man’s response.
“I’ll do the interrogations later. But first, hurry. The guests are already here.”
“Alright.”
“Go into the house and get your uniforms. You should know just how important this meeting is.”
“Yes, sir.”
Juk Hyul Myung and Ju Da Hye both wore their respective clothing and came out.
It was a simple black robe that didn’t seem very special at all. But on the sleeves and the left chest, there was a white dragon imprinted on the robe.
A mark of the white dragon. Currently, in the mainland, there were no martial clans that used that symbol.
No, there couldn’t be any martial clans that did that. After all, this symbol of the white dragon was a symbol of a giant force in the continent.
“Let’s go.”
“Yes, senior.”
When the two arrived at the house their master was residing in, they could find their master meditating.
“Ming (明).”
“Yes, master.”
“Don’t forget. This meeting here was done specifically for you. Also, observe our guests properly. They’re going to become our enemies in the future.”
Juk Hyul Myung smiled, and nodded.
