Surviving as a Genius on Borrowed Time

Chapter 443

In an instant, the surroundings became chaotic. Three figures had swiftly drawn close to Jeong Yeon-shin, displaying the pinnacle of their defensive martial techniques.

Two black long robes and a scholar’s attire stirred up gusts of wind, creating a sharp, slicing sound that seemed to tear through the air itself.

Not only Ak Su-rim but also Hahoe Wi-jin and the Grand Commander had taken it upon themselves to act as his protectors.

Standing a distance away, Yun So-yu, the Yullyeong Unit’s leader, merely grasped the hilt of her sword, her long hair billowing as she silently observed the scene.

"Do not act rashly."

Shin Byeok spoke in an aged voice, issuing what seemed like an order to the three of them. His expression remained astonishingly calm.

The Elder Lord of Ipwang Fortress.

Even if his martial prowess had long diminished, he had worn the violet robe for decades. His knowledge and insight were such that they could be said to touch the heavens themselves.

No one in the hall understood Jeong Yeon-shin’s talents and perceptiveness better than he did.

"The newly appointed Violet has received the Moonlight Harmonization Formula from the Lord of the Fortress. Naturally, no matter what happens, it is not unexpected. A few of you should go down and calm the warriors of the main fortress."

Even as he spoke, the surroundings shook violently.

The mismatched chairs and tables in the office trembled ceaselessly, while the vibrations that continued to rise devoured the still night air with a low, grating hum.

"……."

Ak Su-rim had long discarded the playful manner in which she had earlier teased with exaggerated respect.

Her jet-black eyes, belonging to Ipwang’s Divine Spear, now carried a grave intensity as she gazed at Jeong Yeon-shin’s profile.

A young man standing beside the Lord’s wooden bed, his violet robe fluttering along with his long hair. His eyes shone with an incandescent light.

It was as if a flower made of pure radiance had bloomed within his gaze.

Ak Su-rim slowly parted her lips.

“…Old man Shin.”

"What you are thinking is correct. It seems we will finally hear news from the Lord. The newly appointed Violet will one day bear a tremendous burden."

"Is that not expected? Among the current Violets, he is the only one who can be considered the fortress’s active force."

"Keep your mouth shut, brute. The elders are talking. It would be disgraceful if a direct descendant had a narrower perspective than me…."

"The one who should be dismissed is not me, but the deputy leader of the Divine Sword Squad, whose martial techniques are shallow."

While those who had spent long years in Ipwang Fortress engaged in lighthearted exchanges to suppress their astonishment—

‘What is this?’

Jeong Yeon-shin felt as if his consciousness was being drawn into the Fortress Lord’s bed.

It was similar to the sensation he had when he once ate a fragment of the Celestial Tree’s fruit, personally handed to him by the Lord.
