"Where have you been?"
The moment I stepped into the quarters, Gubong was the first to greet me with a pointed question.
Not just him—the other disciples were also staring at me with uneasy expressions.
“Just went for a little walk.”
“…All of a sudden?”
“Yeah.”
“...”
Gubong’s suspicious gaze lingered on me.
He clearly didn’t believe me, but so what? It wasn’t like that changed anything.
If he didn’t believe it, what was he going to do about it?
“What are you staring at? Got too much time on your hands? I doubt you’re free to be standing around like this.”
“All because of someone….”
“What?”
“Nothing….”
Gubong’s expression grew troubled as he cut himself off.
It seemed like something was weighing on his mind.
