Chereads / Reborn As a Jiangshi / Chapter 57 - Mask

Chapter 57 - Mask

As the old man continued to shake

'This is taking even longer then Jimseungs transformation' I thought as I sat down to wait

From behind his hood I could start to see black strand of hair

Opening the rucksack I awaited for him to start eating

It didn't happen though

Looking a bit more closely I could see what seemed to be drool coming from behind the mask

'Is he waiting for permission?' I wondered

"Go ahead" I said and he punched at the bag

'What a diligent minion' I thought looking at him

After regaining his senses he kneeled towards me

"Sir if you would permit it I would like to show you my face…scared it may be" Geulimja said

"Go ahead" I said uncaring

He slowly took off his mask

And under it was

An incredibly handsome young man

I stared in shock

"I know it's hideous…" He said

"Shut the fuck up and go look in a mirror" I said a bit angry

"Huh? But sir-" Geulimja tried to speak before I stopped him

"Mirror…NOW" I demanded

"Go get me a mirror!" Geulimja shouted out at one of his underlings

After awile of waiting I'm always silence an underling slid a mirror between the cracks of the door

Looking at him I was puzzled

Seemingly noticing my expression he answered

"They know to not come into my chambers without my permission" He said

He picked up the mirror and stared at it

His back was to me but his shoulders seemingly shook

"They are gone… And he said the scars would be with me forever…" Geulimja was talking to himself before the man started laughing

Even I started to question his sanity as he laughed like a madman

'Then again I'm also psychotic' I thought

The man quickly turned and bowed before me

"I will repay this debt with my life" He said

"Prepare human carcasses for your men to eat then I shall convert them" I said going to leave

"Sir, where shall I get those?" He asked

"From those you kill, from this who you find lying around, and lastly from the upcoming war" I said

"Are we not already at war?" He asked

"Let's just say we're a third party that's about to change everything" I said as I left

I left with Cao as we went to go back to our sect before I stopped myself

'I need to deliver my new elders their plaques so my dumbass followers don't stop them at the gates…" I thought

"Cao I shall soon carve out some plaques for the new elders, prepare someone to send them and we can have another counsil meeting afterwards" I said

"Yes master" He said

"Also master Jeong has started to directly hunt some of the orthodox members should I stop him or…" Cao asked

"No I ordered him to target the Mount Huang sect. From what Gwan has told me they have an enlightenment level martial artist" I said

"Then why are we provoking them so soon?" Cao asked

"By provoking them we hurt their pride, when someone's pride is hurt then tend to do stupid stuff to regain said pride" I told Cao

"Ah, so we're trying to make them recklessly attack us without knowing our true strength?" Cao asked

"Precisely" I said

"Sir…how do you know about this?" Cao asked

I stopped
