Episode 32
“So… I can’t see my sister anymore?”
Hwa So-mi, who was heading to the school early in the morning, asked Dan Woo-hyeon.
Judging by the tears welling up in his eyes, it seems that his farewell to Namgung Sohye was very heartbreaking.
Dan Woo-hyeon slowly stroked his head.
“If it’s meant to be, we’ll be able to see each other again. If not, we won’t be able to see each other again.”
“yes? “What does that mean?” He tilted his head and expressed his curiosity.
The little child still couldn’t understand what Dan Woo-hyeon’s words meant.
What is a relationship and what is not?
From Hwa So-mi’s point of view, if you want to meet, you meet.
“It seemed like the bond between you and that woman would not be easily broken. Wouldn’t you like to see each other again soon?”
“and! Really? “It’s not a lie, right?”
Hwaso-mi burst into laughter when she heard that they could meet again. Since Namgung So-hye stayed with him the entire time he stayed at the manor, it seemed like they had grown close to each other.
‘Still… it would have been nice if we lived together…’
Hwa So-mi muttered to herself.
Dan Woo-hyeon and Jang Sam-tae were in the manor, so he didn’t feel lonely, but since Namgung So-hye was the same woman, they had a lot in common, and for some reason, he felt a warm, cozy feeling.
Since we were more happy together than ever, I wished we could live in a manor like Jang Sam-tae.
However, he did not show such feelings.
Namgung So-hye also wonders if something is going on.
“By the way, is the academy okay?”
“Ah yes! it’s fun!”
He answered with a bright smile. Learning academics was really fun.
It is a very enjoyable experience for Hwa So-mi, who has never even thought about being taught at a school, even though it is only a thousand characters long and has not yet entered primary school.
However, for a moment, bitterness appeared in the child’s eyes.
Dan Woo-hyeon seemed to realize this and stroked Hwa So-mi’s head again.
“Getting along with someone is never easy. But don’t think that they are all you will ever meet in life.” Hwa So-mi looked at Dan Woo-hyeon blankly. Even though he didn’t say anything, it felt as if he could see through everything.
Somi slowly raised her hand and grabbed Dan Woohyun’s hand.
When I felt the warmth, I pressed harder.
“Hehe, don’t worry! Somi is her father’s daughter. No matter where I go, I never get discouraged or get pushed around. Because Somi is strong.”
“Yes, Somi, you are a strong child.” Dan Woohyun nodded in agreement.
Although he is only seven years old, compared to children of the same age, he is much more mature. Because of the hardships and adversities they experienced as a child, they may have become more mature.
Although it seemed unfortunate and unsettling, Hwa So-mi was Dan Woo-hyeon’s daughter.
Dan Woohyun sat down in front of Somi and gently pinched her cheek.
You can feel the pain, but the pixel art is so bad! I let out a small voice.
“My name is Dan Woo-hyeon and you are my daughter Dan So-mi. “I will protect you no matter what happens, so in everything you do, don’t be afraid, don’t be discouraged, just go forward.”
With that one word, Hwaso-mi, or Dan-somi, felt reassured, as if she had won a thousand soldiers and ten thousand horses.
I felt like I could accomplish anything, and I even gained confidence that no one would discourage me.
Dan Woo-hyeon smiled and pinched Dan So-mi’s cheek again.
“…sick.”
“ha ha ha.”
Dan Woo-hyeon, who took So-mi to school, walked down the street, enjoying the silence that had come for the first time in a long time. The atmosphere in the county, which had been busy with the work of the Black City until a few days ago, seemed to have calmed down quite a bit.
The crowds of people had also decreased considerably, and those who appeared to be unmanned were now only visible in a few numbers.
The street was still noisy, but it still felt somewhat quieter.
‘Now that I think about it, Hong Won-chang must have gone to Beijing by now.’
Dan Woo-hyeon, who was walking down the street, suddenly stopped.
Actually, I was planning to go to Hong Won-chang and get a cup of tea, but it seemed like I would have to turn back.
” huh?”
At that time, Dan Woo-hyeon’s gaze turned to the side.
There was a group of people there. Judging from the fact that he was wearing a sword, the powerful force felt from the martial artist’s body was quite powerful.
Among them, there was one who particularly stood out.
Jump and jump.
A man casually walking down the street.
He was showing a stronger spirit than anyone he had met so far.
While Dan Woo-hyeon was watching him with interest, he made eye contact with the man passing by.
Tingling-!
‘What…what is it?’
Although it was only for a moment, Madokjin felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
I just made eye contact while walking down the street, but an alarm bell went off in my head, as if warning me to run away from this place quickly.
Is this how a rabbit feels in front of a wild beast?
I turned my head once again, feeling cold sweat break out all over my body.
“Uh…nothing?” I suddenly lost sight of the man I had made eye contact with. It was clear that someone was there, but it didn’t feel or look like it was a dream.
Madokjin swallowed dryly and looked away again.
‘It must be an illusion.’
As I thought about that, I composed myself.
-We have found the location of the Daeju guys.
-Where are you?
-We are currently heading towards Hubei, twenty miles north of Agyang.
Madok-jin, who came to his senses, nodded and smiled. I have already erased what happened a moment ago from my mind.
Right now, all I could think about was the Honam Ogeum, who had wiped out the Black Sword Society.
‘Let’s see how great they are.’
He laughed and threw himself away.
In an instant, his body disappeared like the wind.
Dan Woo-hyeon watched the scene from a distance.
A man with an unusual spirit caught his interest. Because I immediately felt that I was someone who had truly walked the path of martial arts, not a low-class bastard.
“Hmm,” he said, stroking his chin and grinning.
“Twenty miles north?”
No matter how great a person was, it was never easy to eavesdrop on a telegram.
But to Dan Woo-hyeon, it seemed easier than breathing.
He looked north with a smile on his face.
It seemed like something interesting was going to happen.
It was about an hour after Namgung So-hye started walking from Agyang toward Hubei that she began to think something was strange.
The power that Honam Ogeom showed last time was a powerful martial art that Namgung Sohye could not even imagine.
That’s why I couldn’t understand this situation at all.
“Heh… Heh…”
“Hmm…!”
“Wow…”
The five people called the Honam Five Swords were sweating heavily and breathing heavily only an hour after setting off on their journey.
Fortunately, the person named Milwoong was in fairly good condition, but sweat was still dripping from his forehead and his breathing was quite rapid through his nose.
‘ what?’
Namgoong Sohye has narrowed down the list of beautiful army members.
He looked closely at the Honam Ogeom and made a puzzled expression.
‘No way… that can’t be possible…’ I
smiled awkwardly, trying to deny the thought that came to my mind. Because it makes no sense to have such great martial arts skills but lack stamina.
“Let’s rest… Shall we go?”
“A risk! If you’re having a hard time, it’s okay. “We can walk for three days with ease…”
“But why are you sweating so much…?” Honam Ogeom was surprised by Namgung Sohye’s question.
The morale was very well done. Because I fooled that woman. But I had no idea that I would walk for an entire hour without taking a break with such thin legs.
The speed was so fast that it was difficult to even keep up.
“A risk! It’s because I’m a little unwell these days. “Never mind.”
A chuckle could be heard from one side at Milewoong’s words. Milwoong, who flinched at the sound, raised his eyes sharply and looked at Namgung Sohye.
“What’s funny!”
“I was wondering if these people with such advanced martial arts would get tired after just walking for one hour.”
“Ugh! Who said I was tired! Can’t you see that I’m still cheerful and full of energy? “It’s so strong that it can kill anyone in an instant.”
“Of course, that would be true, but… hmmm.”
If that tension last time wasn’t a lie.
I wanted to say that, but Namgung Sohye kept her mouth shut.
It wasn’t that I had any doubts about what I saw with my own eyes.
However, since our last meeting was so short, I thought it was okay and moved on, but when you’re together for this long, you’re bound to discover one or two strange things.
“Is it because… you’re not used to walking? Should I just go to Gyeonggong?”
“omg?!”
“Sigh!”
There was a clear difference between using internal energy and not using it. If they have been using internal energy in their daily lives, it is understandable that they lack some stamina.
In that case, it was enough to just spread light and move forward.
But the complexions of the five people turned blue.
The moment Namgung So-hye became even more puzzled while looking at that.
I grabbed my sword and lowered my posture when I suddenly felt a strange presence.
Snap clap clap!
Three memorabilia were aimed at her. However, with a quick kick, the flying sword fell to the ground.
“Memorization!’?”
“What… what!”
It was Honam Ogeom who was taken aback by Namgung Sohye’s shout.
Memorization? Memorization? Why is it suddenly flying?
Fear permeated my entire body.
Sasasasak-!
At the same time, masked people appeared.
Although there were only ten of them, they seemed to be no ordinary experts as they held a variety of weapons in their hands.
The thick murder pressure oppressed the air and made it impossible to breathe.
“Mu… Mu Hwangseong!”
At Namgung So-hye’s subsequent shout, Honam Ogeom’s face became thoughtful. Isn’t the Imperial Palace a place where only the best experts in Sapa gather?
But the surprise did not end there.
Jump and jump.
The sound of heavy footsteps woke me up.
Finally, the moment the owner of the footsteps appeared, cold sweat formed on Namgung Sohye’s forehead.
“Ma… Madokjin…!”
50th place in the Emperor Wu Castle ranking.
It was the appearance of Madokjin, a sword of defeat.
