Chapter 876: PAID

After the Poison King and the martial artists of the Tang Clan agreed to assist the Martial Alliance, I immediately headed to where Wi Seol-ah was.

“You’re here?”

As soon as I arrived, Wi Seol-ah greeted me warmly. I looked at her and asked, “Are you alright?”

“Pardon?”

“I’m asking if you’re tired.”

“Oh, no, I’m fine.”

Wi Seol-ah had been here since last night, meaning she hadn’t rested after the battle.

"…I wish I could just let her rest."

But knowing her personality, she wouldn’t sit still if something was happening. She’d likely throw herself into the fray within the branch. That’s why I had assigned her specific tasks to keep her preoccupied.

Fortunately, while she was tired, she wasn’t seriously injured. Still—

"It bothers me."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

I couldn’t help but feel guilty.

"I sent Namgung Bi-ah to rest, but I made her work."

Namgung Bi-ah had been sent to the medical ward due to her significant injuries. Though her rapid recovery alleviated my concerns, I had been uneasy without the Divine Doctor’s presence.

“How’s the situation?”

“There hasn’t been any major issue so far.”

“Good. You’ve worked hard. You can head back now.”

“Master… are you staying here longer?”

“I need to finish the investigation.”

“In that case, I—”

“You should go to her.”

“…”

When I mentioned Namgung Bi-ah, Wi Seol-ah bit her lip. It seemed that was the best approach to get her to leave.
