Chapter 8

Editor: Summerstood, Imagine

“Did you steal it?”

Yu Jong Mok raised his head and looked at Ju Seo Cheon.

“No.”

Ju Seo Cheon shook his head sideways and denied it.

“Did you steal it?”

“No.”

“Then, did you trick others?”

“Absolutely not.”

Ju Seo Cheon answered negatively at all the questions.

There was not a trace of hesitation or trembling.

His eyes shone brightly like Yu Jong Mok’s righteous eyes.

However, those eyes were filled with a resolve that seemed to have the drive to accomplish what they sought out to do.

“Where did you get this from then?”

“Um…”

Ju Seo Cheon told the truth to Yu Jong Mok, but he didn’t tell all of it.

It was only to the point that he sneaked out of Hua Sect while Yu Jong Mok was absent and went to the underwater cave. He didn’t say something crazy like he had come from the future.

But he also didn’t make a lie to cover it up. No, it was more correct to say that he couldn’t say it.

Yu Jong Mok kneeled down without saying anything.

“It seems like you are still hiding something from me.”

Ju Seo Cheon flinched and got surprised. He didn’t say it out loud but his face was expressing the doubt of ‘how did he know?’.

Yu Jong Mok stroked the Water Spirit Fruit that was still in Ju Seo Cheon’s hands.

“I can know just by looking at your eyes.”

“Master… I…”

“Stop.”

Yu Jong Mok received the Water Spirit Fruit from his disciple.

“I will believe in you.”

He didn’t say anything after that.

That was the end.

He didn’t inquire or ask any questions.

Yu Jong Mok believed the words of a nine-year-old kid. He did have his doubts but he didn’t ask them out.

He just received the miraculous medicine without saying anything else.

“Is that really the end?”

On the other hand, the one that was in doubt was Ju Seo Cheon.

“How…why don’t you have any doubts?”

He was the one that wanted his master to just let it pass. But this situation was weird even when he thought about it.

At that question, Yu Jong Mok smiled gently just like usual and answered that question.

“If the master doesn’t believe his disciple, who would? If I was really doubtful I would have already inquired one year ago.”

Ju Seo Cheon dropped his mouth and couldn’t hide his shock.

‘So he knew about it…!’

One year ago, when he returned back in time was when he consciously had to act like a kid as to not attract any type of suspicion

He had thought that his act was quite perfect but it was in vain. Yu Jong Mok knew everything, from one to ten.

Yu Jong Mok smiled bitterly as Ju Seo Cheon’s face changed greatly and added some words.

“Even I don’t know what it is exactly. But I could feel that you matured at some point but you were trying to hide it.”

No matter how fast a child grew, there was a limit to it.

The result of having observed his disciple from up close was that his disciple was acting strangely.

At first, he thought that he had felt a devil.

There were cases where you turned crazy if your training in martial arts went wrong.

It wasn’t for nothing that masters stayed right next to their disciples to observe them. They would make mistakes at times because they were immature.

But it seemed like that wasn’t the case either.

He had thought about it and made some hypotheses about it, but no logic worked through.

He only thought that it was ‘fine’.

“You hid it because there are certain circumstances, right?”

Ju Seo Cheon nodded.

“If that is the case, there should also be a reason behind why you brought me this miraculous medicine. It can’t be helped then.”

Yu Jong Mok embraced Ju Seo Cheon.

“Master…Thank you.”

The disciple hugged his master tightly and then shed tears while leaning on his face. Yu Jong Mok patted Ju Seo Cheon’s back and cracked a joke.

“You pissed yourself down there and now you are also pissing from upwards.”

“Master…That is a bit….

Terrible pain was felt in all his body.

This level of pain was one of the greatest he felt even in his past life. No, perhaps it may be the first time he felt this.

‘Something is wrong.’

Ju Seo Cheon fell in his thoughts at the pain that was transmitted in his arms, no, in his entire body. His bones creaked and his muscles seemed to tear apart.

Some of his nails already broke and his hands were filled with blisters. The pain that followed that was no joke.

Four days ago was when he started with the enhancement gymnastics.

At first, it was simple gymnastics.

He warmed up like Yu Jong Mok taught him to.

It really was simple gymnastics.

After that, he had to make a roundtrip using the Light Step Arts.

He consumed his internal energy in an instant as he did as he was told to.

After that, he got complimented by Yu Jong Mok and got dragged somewhere.

It was below a cliff.

“Now, climb up.”
