Ipwang Fortress, White Rank.For the heirs of the Ipwang Ma Clan, it was merely a transitional position. They lived in a different world.

    Even if the white robes of the fortress commanded respect in most martial regions, it meant little. It was nothing more than a temporary demotion in status, something to be endured.

    To Ma Se-in, that was exactly what it was.

    The young noble walked down the path, his sharp, black-and-white eyes unwavering.

    “Master Ma, a rare sight. Where are you headed?”

    “A message came from the Wonpyeong Arena.”

    Ma Se-in answered briefly. Behind him, a young martial artist in white robes followed closely.

    “There’s only one place the Returning Lord of Yeouicheon could be, isn''t there? He doesn''t reside in the Yeouicheon Hall, but rather among the Black Ranks—on the stone seats.”

    “…Right, of course. Travel safely.”

    With a half-hearted nod, the Blue Rank warrior hurried away, moving with surprising urgency despite his burly frame.

    Crunch.

    Ma Se-in watched him disappear, then resumed walking.
