Episode 448
“Wow… it’s big…”
“I heard your house is bigger.”
Dan So-mi stood in front of Yu Baek’s house and opened her mouth. Although it was large, what caught Somi’s attention even more than that was the countless people coming and going.
As it was a large manor, there were quite a few people guarding the inside.
Not only were the servants and maids moving around busily, but if you counted them, there could easily be dozens.
Honam Danga also boasts a considerable size, but since there were not so many people, it felt more empty than here.
The inside felt crowded thanks to the people coming and going busily, and no matter where you looked, it was filled with the scent of people.
Dan Somi smiled as if it made her feel very happy.
“There are so many, right?”
“Yeah, it’s huge. It’s like watching the Murim Dynasty…”
Hong Jinrang glanced around.
It’s not just servants or maids.
Among those who were busy moving here and there, there were quite a few people carrying swords. There was no doubt that they were practicing martial arts, and even on the outside, their sturdy physiques did not seem to have average skills.
“Haha, the Yu family is not the martial arts family, but they are confident in their martial arts skills. “Didn’t Lord Su say anything like that?”
“This is my first time hearing it.”
A person guiding children.
The man called Yoo Gong-hyeok seemed to have a fairly high rank among those living here. Just looking at him made many people bow their heads to the ground, so I thought he might be someone in a high position, like a commander-in-chief.
As Dan So-mi and Hong Jin-rang and Ju Ji-yak thought of Yu Baek, they thought that he was a child of a greater place than they thought.
If that’s the case, it’s probably not going to be a good idea.
“Lord Soga is inside.”
Yoo Gong-hyuk bowed his head and led the way to one side. It was a large hall, and I thought it might be where Yubaek’s room was located.
The three children looked at each other.
I was wondering if I had come to the wrong place during a busy time. But soon, Yoo Gong-hyuk smiled loudly and patted So-mi on the back.
“ha ha ha! Do not worry. “There are some things that happen, but they don’t matter whether Yubaek is there or not.”
“Oh yeah?”
“yes.”
Yoo Gong-hyuk suddenly stopped laughing and looked at Dan So-mi.
He glanced at me once, then immediately turned his back. The faint smile that appeared the moment I turned it disappeared so quickly that no one could see it.
“Then shall we go in?”
Dansomi spoke energetically and took a step forward. A line of children followed behind. The moment when the door to Yubaek’s room is slightly opened.
I saw him looking intently at something.
Soon, the door opened completely and Yubaek, startled, jumped up from his seat.
“What…what are you guys doing? “How did you
get here?”
“Hehe, I came to play.”
Yubaek hurriedly covered the book he was looking at with an expression that showed he had not expected it at all. Eventually, the children came rushing inside and he let out a long sigh.
“I was going to do some work at home today…”
“Was it a nuisance?”
“No, no. “I just wanted to take a breather…”
Yubaek smiled bitterly.
As I looked at the bright faces of the children, I couldn’t bear to chase them away. While I was thinking that, the three children looked around the room and turned their eyes here and there.
“Wow… why are there so many knives?”
At that time, Ju Ji-yaek looked at the wall with sparkling eyes.
There were real swords hanging everywhere. There were some knives that were commonly seen in the central plains, but there were also some that were not so common. As the room was filled with a variety of unique swords, my gaze naturally turned.
“My hobby is collecting knives. This one was brought from a country in the East… This one was brought from an island country across the sea…” The
number of knives that appear to have been scattered around the world could easily be over fifty. It seemed. It seemed as if each piece had been properly maintained and was sharp enough to be used in combat at any time.
“That’s amazing…? “It must have cost a lot of money.”
“Haha, my family has a lot of money.”
Yubaek smiled and scratched his head.
It was meant as a joke, but the stares were not kind.
“No, I’m kidding… You guys are the only ones doing it?”
Yubaek broke into a cold sweat.
I chose the wrong person to brag about money to. To begin with, the richest person in this Honam land was Honam Danga, and the next richest person was Juji Yak of King Yeongchin.
It was ridiculous to brag about money to such people.
“Mmm! By the way, what were you doing? “You can’t go outside?”
Dansomi asked, hoping to change the mood.
Actually, I wasn’t the least bit curious about what Yubaek was doing, but I felt like the awkward situation wouldn’t be under control if I didn’t say something like this.
“There are some things I’m looking for… and some things to check.”
“What are you looking for?”
“Yes, something very important…” Yubaek smiled.
Although he was only looking at the book on the desk without looking at anyone, his expression seemed very different from his usual expression, whether he knew it or not.
‘Hehe-’ Dansomi let out a small exclamation.
“Then what should I check?”
“Ah… someone suddenly disappeared… check that.”
Yubaek gently touched the writing book with a deeper expression than before. He must have suddenly come to his senses and turned his head to look at the children.
“That’s just the way it is.”
” ok?”
“huh?”
“…What do you mean?”
Sadohak, who was standing there, looked at the four people in front of him. He didn’t try to back down even though he had a reluctant expression on his face, probably because he knew that he was embarrassed by what he said.
“So… I asked you to join the training.”
“You mean the four of us all by yourself?”
“okay.”
“…Are we funny?”
Bicheonwoong looked at Apostle Hak with a wistful expression.
I could understand it if he was a Cheonoecheon expert of the same caliber as Danwoohyeon. However, most of those present here, including Apostolic Scholars, are one piece of paper apart.
Saying that you would deal with four of these people at the same time was equivalent to ignoring them.
That’s why Bicheonwoong’s gaze became sharper.
Yeo Eun-wol, who was practicing, trembled at the force he gave off.
“Are you crazy?”
“It was crazy.”
Even Jeok Mu-seong and Mu Cheon-feng frowned.
Even so, it was just a few days ago that five people were killed by Dan Woo-hyeon. Although the shock had not yet subsided, I was even more displeased when Sadohak said these words.
Three people stood up.
Even Mu Cheonpung, who had not been concerned about martial arts, showed off his energy to the fullest.
To that extent, what Sadohak said scratched their pride.
If it were one-on-one, Sadohak definitely has the upper hand.
Even though I admitted it, I didn’t like what he said.
“Now, calm down. “Why on earth do you have such intentions?”
The person who mediated the situation was none other than Nam Gung-cheon.
Although he spoke quietly, he also gave off an air of being quite patient.
The look in his eyes as he looked at Sadohak was quite cruel.
However, they did not even pay attention to Apostolic Studies, which could be said to be a party to all of this. Rather, he smiled as if he knew that this kind of provocation would give him even greater strength.
“Well, it’s a simple story. “To become stronger.”
“…are you going to stick with us for that reason?”
Bicheonwoong slowly raised his dagger.
In fact, he is someone that not even apostolic science can match when it comes to surprise raids and assassinations. Also, there was a time when he got involved with Sadohak and got hurt on his body, so if he did it right, he was one of those people who could possibly lose to Sadohak as well.
“Heh, this is so… embarrassing. It may be unexpected, but it’s also easy to just ignore it…”
Rumbling!
The energy of the five emperors flowed and overflowed all around.
As the rippling forces swept through the surroundings on the wind, Yeo Eun-wol could no longer bear it and had to run away, and those who noticed the strange smell approached the training ground one after another.
Starting with Zhuge Yan, Namgung Sohye, Majang Kang, Kwon Mujin, and Muho.
They were drenched in cold sweat and barely able to stand, unable to properly grasp this difficult situation.
“What happened?”
“Does it look like it’s going to explode any moment?”
“What on earth…”
Namgung Sohye pursed her eyebrows.
This is not a good thing in a situation where Dan Woo-hyeon is not there. Since there is no one who can stop it, the repercussions will inevitably be significant.
If Dan Woo-hyeon returned, he could have been harshly criticized.
The moment Namgung So-hye, sighing as if she had no choice, was about to run toward them to stop the fight before it broke out.
Flash!
Something flashed.
It seemed as if lightning was striking before my eyes.
Namgung Sohye, who was standing at a distance, soon realized that it was because of the conflict between Bicheonwoong and Sadohak.
Grumble!
The two people equally stepped back and
widened the distance between them.
Sadohak laughed and Bicheonwoong had a stern expression.
“You’re going to do it.”
“I’m dying…”
“Oh my… Don’t start this on your own. “Calm down!”
Nam Gung-cheon raised his voice and tried to dissuade the two men.
At that moment, something suddenly flew towards Nangong Cheon’s head.
Kang!
I blocked it with a single stroke of my sword.
His movements were so quick that it was hard to believe he had one arm, and the person wielding the sword must have sensed the obvious gap and took two steps back.
Namgungcheon glanced around and looked at Jeokmu Castle.
“What are you doing?”
“No, it seems like everyone is doing it… Actually, you’re curious,
right? “The difference between you and me.”
“Hehehe… this is so….”
“I’ve realized something since I got into a fight with that guy Dan Woo-hyeon, so I’m itching… I’ll try to figure it out today.”
Jeok Mu-seong suddenly relaxed.
His gaze, which was staring at Nangong Cheon, never left. It felt like I was trying to figure out in my head what kind of swordsmanship or movement I would make with each action.
but.
Paang-!
Suddenly, tension poured towards Jeokmuseong. The moment Jeok Mu-seong was startled and threw his body away, a dark red jibe poured into the air he was floating in.
“Hey you crazy guy!”
“Who said it was one-on-one?”
It is apostolate.
Jeok Mu-seong, who narrowly avoided the tension and grip that he extended, shouted, and at the same time, Bi Cheon-woong rushed towards Sado-hak, who was laughing and spitting out words.
It’s truly a mess.
Since four people are entangled at the same time, literally no one can intervene.
Only Mu Tianfeng stood blankly.
The emotions I felt for the first time about Apostolic Studies were everywhere, and I took a breath as my whole body felt the strong energy and heavy drinking that exploded here and there.
Immediately, he scratched his head and looked away.
His eyes were filled with figures from Honam Danga, including Namgung Sohye.
“What are you doing? “He didn’t come.”
He snapped his fingers and grinned.
Everyone broke into a cold sweat.
