"I told them to prepare some tea in the reception room." Yul said, trying to ease the tension. "Please come." The Songrim mages started to walk towards the reception room. The leader slapped Dang-gu's arm as he passed by him.

"You were here as well." Cho-yeon told Uk. "I heard you were kicked out of Gisan."

"Right." Uk said, nodding his head. "You should stop keeping track of what I am doing."

Cho-yeon scoffed, as if trying to hide the fact that she still liked Uk. "Everyone was talking about how you got kicked out yet again." she explained. "I just happened to hear it."

"I see." Uk nodded his head. "Our precious guest here seems uncomfortable around me, so let me excuse myself." he said before walking away.

"What a scumbag." Cho-yeon muttered under her breath. Da-hye could almost feel bad for her. The poor girl was still in love with Uk.

"Let us go." Dang-gu said. Yul and Da-hye started walking to the reception room. "Let us go." Dang-gu told Cho-yeon and the Jinyowon mages.

Once they got to the reception room, Da-hye took some tea from the servant. "I love tea." Da-hye said while smelling the fragrant tea. It was Da-hye's favorite drink. 

 A while later, Da-hye's uncle and some mages had left with Cho-yeon to the training center. "Hurry up and finish it." Dang-gu whined. 

"Why?" Da-hye furrowed her eyebrows while taking another sip of her tea.

"Hurry, hurry." Dang-gu ushered her.

"Why?" Da-hye asked again, her tone was slightly annoyed.

" I sense something is happening." Dang-gu explained.

"What are you on about now?" Da-hye asked and then let out a sigh. She had no idea what Dang-gu was talking about.

"Let us go find out." Dang-gu grabbed Da-hye's arm exasperatedly. 

"Hey, wait! I haven't finished drinking my tea!" Da-hye whined, before being dragged away by Dang-gu.

Once Da-hye and Dang-gu got to the training center, they found out that Uk had broken Gwigu. They saw him being dragged away by a few mages. Why was he always getting himself into trouble?

"Jeez." Dang-gu sighed, placing his hand on his forehead. "This is the work of your young master." he told Mu-deok while pointing at the broken pottery.

"Uk cannot keep himself out of trouble." Da-hye shook her head disapprovingly and crossed her arms.

"Gosh, that kid." Dang-gu sighed. "Last year, he broke off the engagement with the Jin family." he told Mu-deok. "This time, he broke their heirloom."

"Engagement?" Mu-deok asked, furrowing her eyebrows while looking up at Dang-gu.

"Yes. He called of the wedding with her." Dang-gu pointed towards Cho-yeon. "He got kicked out 12 times, broke off a wedding, and now, an heirloom."

"What a disaster." Da-hye said. Uk was truly a disaster.

"What will you do about him." Dang-gu patted Mu-deok's hair.

Mu-deok removed her head from under his hand. "Where is he?" she asked.

"He got dragged away. I am afraid he will face severe punishment this time." Dang-gu said. Uk was a troublemaker and Da-hye didn't like him very much but she still didn't want him to get punished badly.

It was time for the leader to decided Uk's punishment. Da-hye stood next to Yul and Dang-gu, Mu-deok was next to Dang-gu.

"I sent you to Gisan." The leader shouted at Uk. "Then you were kicked out in less than six months. Why did you come here tonight?"
