            <description><![CDATA[Taru, who’d suffered the worst out of all of them, kicked off the blankets and shot upright, aghast. Then, forcing his trembling voice up as if sheer volume could hide his fear, he jabbed an accusing finger at Cheon-oh. “N-No, listen to yourself! Look at the state we’re in, and you want us to take guidance from you? Open those gloomy eyes of yours…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[From the rhythm of her breathing, she would likely wake up soon, but there was no reason to rush it. Cho Yoon dragged another chair to the bedside where Ryu-ryeo lay and sat. His gaze drifted to Yeon-hyo, seated quietly beside Woon-geum, and lingered there. “Let me ask what happened. Just watching you, I could tell things went sideways back at the market.” “Y-You…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Cho Yoon said he would believe it, but the claim itself was ridiculous. And because it came from Cho Yoon’s mouth, Cheon-oh’s mood soured even further. He could pull strings behind his master’s back, sure, but he couldn’t lie to his face while being stared at so directly. Cheon-oh folded the outer coat Cho Yoon had taken off with careful hands, draped it over…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Cho Yoon was the sole person in the world who could look at Seomun Cheon-oh and, without the slightest hesitation, insist that the boy was innocent to the point of naïveté, so he didn’t even think to glance back as he headed straight for Woon-geum. At first glance, she looked as though she’d changed a great deal since childhood, but the longer he studied…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Cho Yoon’s question dripped with shock, but Woon-geum, on the receiving end of it, looked even more dumbfounded than he did. She’d frozen with her mouth hanging open, and as he stared at her, a thousand thoughts raced through him: Is it not Woon-geum? Why is she so stunned? Did “Cho Yoon” cause trouble again? Then it clicked. Cho Yoon had already informed the…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[The first to charge through the dust cloud was Hong Ryu-ryeo, her sword sheathed in crimson sword energy. Scowling, she brought her blade down on the guard Danmok Woo had snapped up, and he swept his saber across to parry, knocking her strike wide as though he meant to brush it aside. The clash between them looked ready to escalate, but a wooden staff…]]></description>

If she wanted it, you could have offered to buy it for her. Trying to push her into theft is something only the Unorthodox Factions would do.” “I-I never said I wanted it. I just said it was pretty…” “I didn’t genuinely tell you…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[When people and factions gather, friction is inevitable anywhere, but in the Murim, where power disparities ran deep and everyone had something to hide, unity was utterly impossible. Any cooperation forged under a single massive ideology or a shared sense of crisis would only hold for a moment; tossing a lump of flour that hadn’t even been kneaded into a furnace would leave you…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[The fact that Guyang Seon, once Moyong Seo’s reliable comrade in the previous world, was suddenly dating the leader of a collateral merchant guild of the Tang Clan was unexpected, sure, but that was all. If we were counting impossibilities that never happened in the original story, Cheon-oh calmly pouring tea right beside him was far more severe. Compared to the Profound Realm or…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[No, he hadn’t planned on healing it. He only wanted to check the condition… though, honestly, he couldn’t claim he’d had zero intention of fixing it. Still, it sat heavy in his gut, that stubborn pressure to keep his mouth shut and do nothing about something he might be able to put right. Cho Yoon pressed his lips together, turned his head stiffly, and…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[The trope of “vile, simple-minded humans repaying kindness with enmity” had always been a staple of fiction. It was a narrative shorthand that framed opportunistic behavior, clinging to profit and fleeing from loss, as the fundamental operating principle of human nature. Adopting such a cynical perspective as the backbone of a story offered two distinct advantages. It allowed the author to flatten characters into…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[“&#8230;” Cheon-oh did not answer immediately. Cho Yoon had expected a quick agreement; after all, this was the same child who used to be scolded for constantly begging to return to Mount Dumang. Unsettled by the unexpectedly prolonged silence, Cho Yoon clenched and unclenched his fist. Judging by the rhythm of his breathing, the boy hadn’t fallen asleep. Just as Cho Yoon lifted his…]]></description>

This, this is…” Cho Yoon muttered incoherently, his eyes darting wildly as fragments of thought detonated behind his temples. He flailed his arms, goosebumps still prickling along his skin, and pushed against the floor with his heels, scrambling backward. Terror devoured what little reason he…]]></description>

He scrubbed at the frost that blurred his vision, then forced himself to look straight at them. The young sect leader, who had been glaring at him with a face like a Yaksha, slipped into the mask of a polished socialite in the blink of an eye, smiling…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Unable to find the right words, Cho Yoon hesitated in silence before finally muttering, grasping at straws. Since he didn’t sense Cheon-oh’s attention focusing particularly on them, he voiced the thought cautiously. “&#8230;Whatever grand design you imagine, the cost in human life was far too great to be dismissed as merely cutting away a rotten corner of an apple. You visited the Hao Sect…]]></description>

He closed his eyes and steadied his spirit as it threatened to waver, adjusting the fold of his kashaya with practiced care.

Sitting in the pavilion by the small pond and studying unfamiliar vocabulary with Cho Yoon, Cheon-oh abruptly snapped his head toward the front gate, which remained hidden from their current vantage point. Cho Yoon, puzzled, mirrored…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[In martial arts novels, Severed Meridians was typically the reason why “a genius tragically dies young.” Of course, characters important enough to have such a detailed backstory usually met the protagonist, had their incurable disease treated, and became allies, so actual early deaths were rare. In any case, those born with Severed Meridians tended to possess high intelligence, a trait exemplified by Zhuge Seol-rin.…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Talas was a key figure in the delegation, and she’d claimed the child was her nephew. It was safe to assume that ever since they’d left the Ice Palace, every elixir Dilleva consumed had been taken with Talas’s authorization. Then she would have to answer for it. Cho Yoon’s stare turned glacial. Talas, still frozen in bewilderment, bit the inside of her lip and…]]></description>

Can you do it?” “Yes, I can.” Cheon-oh’s calm affirmation came from directly below him. Without looking back, Cho Yoon bounded up the stairs with a featherlight tread, his wide sleeves and veil fluttering behind him, and in an instant he reached the top step.

Ever since tumbling into the world of this martial arts novel, he’d deliberately avoided interest in martial techniques and loathed direct confrontation.

If anything, after Cheon-oh began having wet dreams at fifteen, Cho Yoon had spent a ridiculous amount of time giggling to himself, idly guessing who Cheon-oh’s first love might be. After all, isn’t imagining how a child will grow up, and feeling quietly happy about it,…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[As if he hadn’t been waiting for an answer in the first place, the man launched into a long ramble about families, married couples, and child-rearing. He looked eager to dispense wisdom to a young man who’d just become someone’s husband, but none of it was particularly useful to Cheon-oh. Cheon-oh’s interest faded fast the moment the remarks turned blunt and thoughtless, the kind…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Walking along the southern edge of the lake, more and more people came into view. Even on a high-altitude plateau that ordinary travelers rarely reached, a fertile stretch of flatland near water was a blessing in this barren country, and a village had taken root here, built by those who’d gathered for that single rare condition. Green barley that had endured the winter grew…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Only after he’d been hauled into the tent’s dark interior, still gripping his master’s hand, and had managed to get one knee inside did Cheon-oh’s fogged reason stagger back to him, thin but present. He muttered that it was cramped. His master answered that he shouldn’t even think about tossing and turning, then released his hand. Bracing both palms on the ground, he lay…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[The journey crawled along, slow but steady. Cheon-oh rode with his master until the horse began to flag, then he slipped down, took the reins, and walked beside it. The grasslands smelled of water, in the air and in the ground, nothing like the desert. A river ran nearby, and the earth, still soaked from rain, breathed out a damp, green scent. Trudging at…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Even though his internal energy was sealed, it was still a martial artist’s body, and if Cho Yoon put his mind to it, he was confident he could cross Qinghai Province while doing a handstand on this saddle. There was no way Cheon-oh, who had lived with him longer than anyone else, wouldn’t know that, yet his overprotectiveness had worsened all the same; and…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Looking around in a daze, Cho Yoon found the scene hadn’t changed much since he’d looked into Narayana Heavenly Vajra’s eyes. The only differences were Cheon-oh’s hand, resting lightly on his shoulder, and Sa-hyeon blinking at him with a blank expression. He patted the back of Cheon-oh’s hand, his voice coming out rough. “Thank you… for your advice.” “I only dangled a bit of…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Cho Yoon received intensive treatment from Narayana, the Heavenly Vajra, for several days. Even with a full slate of responsibilities already weighing on her, she still carved out time to teach Sa-hyeon fist techniques, and she visited Cho Yoon every morning and evening to check his pulse. With the cause and timing of the seizures unpredictable, there was no real way to prevent them,…]]></description>

You’ll come straight to the Martial Righteous Alliance, right?” “You’re making me repeat myself. I told you I’d follow soon.” “But I can’t relax… What if a pursuit team latches onto you? What if that crazy bastard comes after you out of nowhere? If you disappear again, Master, I…” Sa-yeong, who’d been…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Sa-yeong, rubbing tears away with her forearm, opened the door and stepped outside. Watching the child’s retreating back, Cho Yoon smiled broadly, relief easing through him. Judging by how things had gone, Sa-yeong and Seol-rin would reconcile soon, and once they did, it was a foregone conclusion the two of them would put their heads together and come up with a solid plan, whether…]]></description>
