Episode 29
“Do you feel good?”
“yes!”
Namgung So-hye and Hwa So-mi held hands and headed to the academy. Today is the first day I go to school, so I dressed up and the clothes I wore were more flashy than usual.
“Hoho, I’m sure you’ll meet good friends.”
“I hope so.”
He stroked the smiling Hwa So-mi’s head. In fact, Namgung Sohye was somewhat anxious.
This is because we do not know how much the children of families with power and money treat those without a background.
I wonder if this delicate and delicate thing can endure.
“If it’s Somi, don’t worry and take her there. “You probably have something to do in Agyang anyway, right?”
I couldn’t just follow Dan Woo-hyeon’s words not to worry. Because it seemed quite irresponsible to her.
However, since she was not in a position to protest against it, she arrived at the academy with an anxious mind.
“Now, cheer up! “It’s important to maintain momentum in everything.”
“Are you crawling?”
“Okay, don’t be discouraged! “Because there is nothing worse about you than them.”
“Hehe, okay. Do not worry.”
Hwa So-mi nodded and entered the academy. My anxious feelings didn’t go away easily, but I couldn’t just hold on to them.
‘Then what about me?’
When Hwa So-mi, who had entered the school, was no longer visible, Namgung So-hye sighed softly and turned her back. Recently, I walked around the streets of Agyang every evening, but I couldn’t find any information of this kind.
Since you came to Aeyang during the day, you must not miss this opportunity.
Already, the time of being alone had passed, and if I continued like this, it seemed like I would end up becoming a maid in the manor, let alone the identity of the master who was hiding in Agyang.
I held my aching head and took another breath.
“Let’s just investigate first.”
All you need is at least one piece of important information. If you catch something even the size of a rat’s tail, you can grope it and grab its body.
Namgung So-hye headed to Jeojat Street first.
Since it is a place where a lot of people gather, there is no better place to get various information. However, it seemed she wasn’t the only one who thought that way.
That street was very noisy.
Compared to four days ago, there was a lot less rain, but we also saw Murim people, and there were also Parakhos that came to see if they might run out of beans.
The sounds of merchants soliciting customers and the smell of delicious food irritated my nose everywhere.
‘Ogi has come…’
Namgung Sohye groaned and swallowed her moans. Sometimes money is needed to obtain information. However, since the bag was full of dust, it was virtually impossible to obtain information by paying money.
So are you going to give up?
I steeled myself and clenched my fists.
I will never give up.
She quickly looked around and listened to people’s voices.
‘Is it that woman?’
The two men nodded, comparing Namgung Sohye with a picture depicting her facial features. It was definitely the woman the client had mentioned.
When I thought about how I had been circling the evil sheep for days to find that woman, I felt angry. But now that the discovery had been made, it was time to proceed as planned.
“Listen carefully. I should naturally talk to the woman in this picture. If you do that, this money is yours.”
At most, five pieces of silver to say one word was a considerable amount of money.
Since they originally made a living by hand, it was not a problem to deceive a woman.
They naturally approached Namgung Sohye. Fortunately, there was a street vendor nearby, so I sat there without any problem and opened my mouth.
“So, behind Hyeonryeong, there is a very great expert! “I saw it clearly with my own two eyes!”
“Crazy guy, so you’re saying he
hit the black town by himself?”
“Who says you’re alone?! “It was n’t just one person
.”
Namgung Sohye suddenly opened her eyes.
The moment I heard the word ‘black society’, I came to my senses.
Namgung Sohye slowly
walked towards them.
“Tell me what you just said again.”
The man turned his head and looked at Namgung Sohye with a sour expression. It seemed like he was mesmerized by that beautiful face for a moment, but then he changed his expression and said big! I cleared my throat.
“Look, what do you think I said?”
“What you just said…try again.”
Namgung Sohye secretly raised her sword.
The man’s countenance, who had thought he would receive at least a small amount of money, became contemplative. Namgung So-hye’s gaze was so cold that it gave me goosebumps.
“That’s it…”
The man seemed nervous, his voice shaking as much as possible and he spoke carefully so as not to arouse suspicion.
“Hwa… I’m Hwa So-mi… Please take care of me…”
She bowed her head while looking at the children in the school with a shy expression. Some people were older and some were younger, but they continued to use polite language, perhaps a bit awkwardly.
The children looked at Hua Xiaomi with a puzzled expression.
It seems as if they are just staring at him without answering and completely ignoring him. They didn’t even look at Hwa So-mi, who moved slowly and sat down.
But one child is different.
‘That kid… definitely!’
It must be the kid I saw at home.
‘Why are you here?’
Hong Jin-rang, with his eyebrows raised, watched Hwa So-mi who quickly came and sat down next to him. When their eyes met, Hwa So-mi had a bright smile on her face.
“Why are you laughing?”
“Hehe hello?”
Hong Jin-rang’s unhesitating tone of voice and flawless clarity
oo
■
‘Unlucky.’
He frowned and raised his eyebrows.
Some children were looking at Hong Jin-rang and when they made eye contact with him, they were busy turning their heads away. Its large size, massive fists, and unstoppable behavior were enough to scare many children.
“Hwasomi My name is Hwasomi.” I heard a small whisper next to me.
But when he doesn’t respond in any way, he continues to say his name, perhaps out of spite. Or maybe he was asking Hong Jinrang to tell him his name.
Of course, Hong Jinrang completely ignored it.
I spent some time ignoring the words I heard over and over again.

“I found it!”
Namgung So-hye, who returned to the manor, made a loud noise and ran towards Dan Woo-hyeon. But when I couldn’t see him, I felt puzzled.
Then Jang Sam-tae, who was tending the yard, was impressed.
“It’s outside. Outside. Didn’t you see it when you came in? “Fishing.” Namgung Sohye’s face turned red. After taking a quick glance at Jang Sam-tae, who was giving me some gourd noodles, I cautiously left the manor. It’s not her fault that she didn’t see anything in particular.
Dan Woo-hyeon has no physical presence.
Even though it was next to me, I couldn’t feel it unless I saw it with my own eyes. Even when I was having a conversation, there were times when it felt like I was talking into the air.
‘You say you don’t exist to me and you’re completely air?’
Namgung So-hye grumbled and approached Dan Woo-hyeon.
It wasn’t really something I needed to report, but I felt so good that I just wanted to talk to someone.
Then the first thing that came to mind was Dan Woo-hyeon.
I don’t really know why.
I just started looking for it.
“So what did you find?”
Dan Woo-hyeon, who was fishing, was peaceful.
He sits down with his fishing rod hanging down and quietly closes his eyes. That way, even if the fish bites, you won’t be able to tell.
However, there was a slight change in the pleasant quiet that I felt for the first time in a long time compared to my usual expressionless expression.
Namgung Sohye smiled brightly.
“Gosu, who seems to be behind the county!”
“…You found it?”
“yes! “It was very difficult.”
Dan Woo-hyeon tilted his head.
Looking at her actions, it seems like she couldn’t find it.
“I don’t think I found it?”
“No, it’s true! “I couldn’t meet them in person, but I decided to meet them later in the evening.”
“That person… guys?”
Namgung So-hye guessed that there might not be just one person looking after Hong Won-chang. In fact, it would be contrary to common sense to think that only one person would step in to eliminate the Black Society.
“Have you heard of it?”
“What do you mean?”
“Honam Ogeom!”
Dan Woo-hyeon tilted his head.
It’s obvious, but I don’t remember ever hearing it. Where on earth did the Honam Ogeom come from?
Since I couldn’t figure out the meaning, I looked at Namgung Sohye silently.
“Do you know?”
“no. I don’t know.” In fact, Namgung Sohye did not even know that there were people called Honam Five Swords. Since they were not that famous and had almost no activities, it seemed that even the Murim League could not understand them.
“With a name like that, they must be great people. The people I was looking for were.”
Namgung Sohye was in a good mood. I felt proud that I had found the Honam Ogeom before anyone else. Now, she no longer had to work as a maid, and all she had to do was inform her husband with peace of mind and then return.
Say goodbye to this boring life.
“Honam Ogeom… they must really be experts. “If only we could get rid of a place called the Heukdohoe.”
Dan Woohyun chuckled.
I don’t know who they are, but it seems like there are scammers trying to steal other people’s credit. In fact, unless the person himself came forward, there would be little chance of his identity becoming known, so it was perfect for committing fraud.
Dan Woo-hyeon did not know how great of a person Namgung So-hye, the owner of Bonghwangdan, was. I didn’t know how big and influential the Murim League was.
From his point of view, not only Namgung So-hye but even famous masters were no different from minnows.
“Are you going to meet them?”
“I need to hear the detailed story and convey my intention to recruit him to the Murim Maeng.”
My excited mind did not calm down easily.
In fact, she was carrying out a secret mission for the Murim Alliance, so she should not reveal it to anyone.
However, the woman in front of Dan Woo-hyeon chattered like a light-hearted person. Dan Woo-hyeon’s soft energy that naturally bloomed made her relax.
“It’s evening… then let’s go together.”
“to?”
“I also want to see the people called Honam Ogeom.”
Dan Woohyun laughed.
How on earth did these people come to be so bold as to commit fraud? In fact, it’s okay to claim that someone else did what you did.
If I had paid attention to those things in the first place, I wouldn’t have handed everything over to Hong Won-chang. Still, the reason I tried to follow was only because of one thing.
I was curious about how they would make up the story and how they would try to deceive this woman.
“If you promise to stay quiet. And when I go back, I take a lot of money with me…”
Namgung So-hye glanced at Dan Woo-hyeon.
His expression, which had changed slightly, suddenly became calm.
Perhaps because she noticed a little, her eyes trembled.
Dan Woo-hyeon nodded without paying attention.
“good night. “Let’s take a look.”
