The Growth of a Titan-Chapter 447- Woo-seong Doesn’t Believe It
Chapter 447: Chapter 447- Woo-seong Doesn’t Believe It
Mar-Dule was someone who took food and wine extremely seriously, and he placed a lot of meaning into his actions whenever he gave out these things to someone. With this, he also placed that same importance on someone’s actions when they gave him food or wine. So, Sol gifting Byeong-ho this wine before him made him a bit...
He wasn’t angry, he definitely wasn’t angry, just really sad.
Sol scratched his cheek and somewhat avoided Mar-Dule’s gaze. He could tell something like this was going to happen when Mar-Dule found out.
Sol was about to say some comforting words to Mar-Dule, but Mar-Dule’s face suddenly changed before he asked.
"Wait, which wine did Byeong-ho get? Was it this or the Immortal Wine?"
Byeong-ho opened his mouth to respond, but upon catching sight of Sol’s gaze, he calmly switched to taking a bite of his remaining Life Essence fruit. It was so smooth one would think that was his intention from the beginning.
However, even though Byeong-ho didn’t say anything, his silence seemed to confirm Mar-Dule’s speculations as he became extremely listless and forlorn.
Yoon-jae couldn’t help but roll his eyes when he saw Mar-Dule’s performance. He was more of a child than anyone else here, actually getting sad over something like this.
Yoon-jae paused. Well, if things were going by age, he was the youngest one here asides from Ushi.
Seeing Mar-Dule mood rapidly plummeting, Sol smiled and said.
"I gave Brother Byeong-ho some of my Immortal Wine, but I feel bad it was one of the low-quality ones I made when I first started out brewing wine. I plan on giving him and you guys one of my best brews."
Mar-Dule seemed to cheer up a little when he heard that.
"But why not give it to us now?"
Mar-Dule asked but Sol shook his head.
"Even though formations surround this room preventing anyone from seeing inside, I can’t guarantee that taking out just one jug won’t alert everyone on the ship, especially the Academy Elders."
Hearing that, Mar-Dule and the others suddenly realized that Sol’s self-proclaimed Immortal Wine wasn’t so simple.
Byeong-ho’s expression became serious as he added. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
"Brother Sol is right, that wine is not something that should be revealed so easily, it would cause an uproar among the Clans and Sects. Brother Sol, if anything else, you should be careful of revealing the fact that you were the one who created this Immortal Wine."
Sol nodded seriously. He was already being extremely cautious. Even though he was somewhat confident he could isolate the Worldly Laws fluctuations emanating from the wine jugs with his Heavenly Domain containing his Fist Intent or his Immortal Domain containing his pure Wood Aether Energy, he still didn’t dare bring it out now.
Mar-Dule gave Byeong-ho a bitter look, but to change to topic Sol asked Mar-Dule.
"Didn’t you say you had something to tell me?"
As if remembering, Mar-Dule’s eyes instinctively narrowed. He nodded and was about to speak, but he suddenly paused and swept his gaze around the room.
This matter was related to his relationship with Hua-Yin. He didn’t know if he could just reveal that right now, so he did a brief recap of the people inside this room.
Byeong-ho to his left was somewhat trustworthy as he would keep silent if he said anything. No, rather, he would just keep silent in general.
As for Cheong-su and Cheong-san, Mar-Dule had only met and interacted with them during their time searching for Immortal Dai Shen’s inheritance, but from how Sol trusted them he could trust them too.
Mar-Dule’s gaze then swept over Yoon-jae and Ushi who was next to the table to the right.
He already told Yoon-jae while that bastard Ushi probably already knew. Mar-Dule had been panicking while dealing with Hua-Yin at that time to notice anything amiss, but now that he looked back on it, he felt that someone was watching him then.
Mar-Dule couldn’t help but scowl at Ushi as his eyes swept over him. He needed to talk with him in private after this.
Mar-Dule’s gaze then landed on Woo-seong who was silently eating his fruit. He probably didn’t need to worry about him either. Who would he run off to tell? Everyone in the Continent probably hates him to the bone. Everyone who would talk to him was likely all in this room.
With those thoughts, Mar-Dule concluded he didn’t mind saying his next words.
As for Sol, he didn’t even have a single inkling to include him in this train of thought.
"There were rumors going around that you had gotten into conflict with that Wei-sun, Dae-hyun’s lackey, and even went to the Jeagal Clan right after. I heard the full details from Hu-"— Mar-Dule stopped and corrected himself—"I mean the Dark Fairy, that Wei-sun was purposely targeting you because of the conflict between them. Since she and I are together and we’re close Brother Sol, Wei-sun decided it wasn’t worth befriending you."
Upon hearing that, Sol finally understood why Wei-sun’s attitude towards him had changed so drastically, he knew it wasn’t just because he failed to uphold their deal.
However, while everyone was digesting what Mar-Dule had just said, Woo-seong was looking at him with wide eyes. No words could describe the amount of shock he was feeling right now.
Did he just hear incorrectly? Yes, his hearing must have checked out for a second. The Dark Fairy together with this brute? Woo-seong didn’t believe it.
However, before Woo-seong could ask Mar-Dule to repeat that part, Sol suddenly spoke up.
"Does the conflict between her and Wei-sun have anything to do with their similar identities?"
Sol had heard about the Dark Fairy and her illusiveness. Wei-sun too was of similar existence, posing as a servant of Dae-hyun, the fake Jeagal Clan’s Young Master.
"Why is there a conflict between Wei-sun and the Dark Fairy?"
Byeong-ho was the one to ask. From how it sounded this conflict didn’t seem to stem from just them being from the Jeagal Clan and the Emei Sect.
Not many people knew this fact, but the Jeagal Clan was fighting with the Emei Sect in terms of intelligence gathering. However, this was among many other conflicts they had.
Sol turned and was about to explain the situation, but Woo-seong finally couldn’t take it anymore and suddenly blurted out.
"What do you mean you’re together with the Dark Fairy?! Are you joking?! You said it so casually I almost believed you for a second!"
