There was a reason behind the sudden decision to travel to Hangzhou.

In Zhejiang Province, where Hangzhou is located, a sect called the Sea Wall Sect held sway. Just as its obscure name suggested, its influence wasn’t much to speak of.

Sure, they had a single transcendent-level master, as was expected of any sect that governed a region, but that was the extent of their strength. By no means could they compare to the Sixteen Great Sects.

Yet, the Black Lotus forces had invaded Zhejiang. And they’d come by sea.

For the Sea Wall Sect, it was as if a fire had been lit under their feet. Naturally, they sent an urgent request for help to the closest of the Sixteen Great Sects—the Namgung Clan.

Zhejiang Province, close to Anhui, was home to several sects that had branched off from the Namgung Clan. Some were established by collateral family lines, while others were founded by martial artists who had received permission to leave the Namgung Clan and start anew.

Given their ties to the region, the proximity to Zhejiang, and the direct plea for assistance, the Namgung Clan had no reason to refuse the request.

The Namgung Clan agreed to send aid.

When Seo-jun heard about it, he quickly nodded. After all, he hadn’t had the chance to see the sea since coming to the Central Plains.@@novelbin@@

When he visited the Northern Ice Palace, he had been too busy even to think about looking at the North Sea. This time, he planned to take his fiancées and enjoy the view of the ocean.

“Zhejiang? I’ve been there before,” Chun-bong chimed in.

She went on to say that something famous from her family was there.

“When I was little, I went there briefly with my father. There’s a sword mark left behind by my grandfather.”

“A sword mark?”

“Yeah, it’s in the sea. That’s why the sea there is called Sword Mark Sea.”

Chun-bong gazed off into the distance with a wistful look, seemingly reminiscing about her family.

Seo-jun, seeing her like this, scooped her up and sat her on his lap.

“In that case, let’s stop by Sword Mark Sea while we’re there. Now that you’ve got a new family, consider it an initiation.”

“N-new family…”
