Episode 293
: Murim always wanted a new strongman.
Therefore, the appearance of a new expert, rather than an already revealed expert, gave rise to countless rumors and stimulated people.
“That’s because it’s real! “They are out of this world!”
“Oh, anyway, it’s probably not that bad.”
Opinions were divided between those who were present and those who heard the rumor.
If it is Cheonoecheon, it means the Five Hwangs, and if it is not, it means Chilseong.
In any case, the entire martial arts community was astonished at the fact that not one, but two new masters comparable to Oh Hwang Chil-seong had appeared.
“But aren’t they the ones who won the competition?”
“That’s right, but…”
Some people brought up stories about the winner.
The winner was decided in a really funny way.
Due to an over-the-counter loss, two world-class experts were eliminated, and Nam Gung So-hye, who was holding on unscathed thanks to her opponent’s back being blown out in the huge fight, naturally became the winner.
“But isn’t it amazing? “Not only did Namgung So-hye participate in the competition, but she appeared as a member of the Honam Danga family, not the Namgung Se family.”
“Well… right. “I was surprised too.” As the story of Nangong Xiaohye and Zhuge Yan began to spread widely, the eyes and ears of the entire martial arts community were turned toward Lake Nandan Street.
However, in Honam Danga, many people gathered as if they were holding a large banquet.
Hoyeonji, including the top stocks of the Jinhwan Sangdan.
Everyone who had once had a connection with this place was in one place.
Namgung So-hye and Ho Yeon-ji were busy coming and going, serving food, and jars of liquor were piled up.
Even Hong Won-chang came and joined us, so the whole family was really crowded.
There were smiles on everyone’s faces.
Except one person.
“Ugh….”
Jang Sam-tae groaned with his head on the ground. I felt like I was going crazy because I had been like this for about an hour without being able to eat anything.
Maehyang was standing next to him, and although she was looking at Jang Sam-tae with pity, she was worried that she couldn’t help him.
“No, why on earth am I the only one….” Gurgling!
A violent sound was heard from the starving stomach.
I wanted to fill my stomach even just a little, but I couldn’t even raise my head without Dan Woo-hyeon’s permission. As my resentment soared, I became more and more annoyed.
“What on earth did you do?”
Maehyang asked cautiously.
She also feels frustrated because she doesn’t know the reason.
“Do you know me? All I did was ask my elder brother to compete on my behalf…”
“Ah…”
“What is ‘ah…’?”
Maehyang sighed heavily.
I certainly couldn’t say it was wrong. But looking at Dan Woo-hyeon’s expression, he must have bet on himself.
Because Sadohak participated, he was an out-of-field loss and did not win, so he wasted money.
From Dan Woo-hyeon’s point of view, who was so obsessed with money that it wouldn’t be surprising even if it was gold, it was understandable to be angry.
“Haa… Who the hell is this person
O…”
“Ah, why!”
Jang Sam-tae shouted with an aggrieved expression.
It seemed like he still had no idea why he was being punished.
There was someone else who wasn’t in a good mood. It was Sadohak who was eating meat and drinking in a corner.
I couldn’t quite explain why I was so dissatisfied, but Namgung-cheon, who was next to me, tapped my shoulder as if he knew why.
“Don’t touch it.”
“Hehehe.”
“Don’t even laugh. “I love you, old guy.”
“Are you that dissatisfied? “What about not being able to win
?”
“Do you have anything to compete with? “I was pushed back from the beginning…”
Sadohak spat out the meat in his mouth.
It was a delicious part, but I didn’t like it. It is because apostolic science feels dirty.
“That guy. “I didn’t even give it my all from the beginning.”
“Wasn’t that the same for you?”
Namgungcheon knew.
Since he was in a situation where he could not perform the Heavenly Demon Divine Art, Sadohak did not show even half of his power.
If he had attacked with all his might, the fight would not have ended that way.
A natural disaster must have swept that place.
In such a situation, isn’t it no different from being successful since you have performed a great battle like Il Da-kyung?
“That’s not the problem! I felt it every time we bumped into each other. “That guy has some free time in his hands.”
“Ho… was it that bad?”
“It felt so… strange.”
Sadohak drank his drink roughly.
Nevertheless, he had a slight smile on his face.
An opponent that you cannot defeat even if you give your all.
The mere presence of such a person is a stimulus to the warrior. Especially when it comes to apostolate, which is blocked by a wall.
A person who cannot be reached even if you chase after him.
I had the feeling that Apostolic Studies would become even stronger as I had to make more efforts to pursue such people.
“It seems like that wasn’t the only thing I got.”
“Tsk… I don’t like that more
.”
Namgungcheon chuckled.
There was some regret in his eyes.
He expressed regret, saying that if he had known this would happen, he would have participated as well.
“But it was amazing!”
At that time, Dansomi rushed over and smiled.
Actually, I don’t even know what happened. All I could remember was that I heard a banging sound and that made me scared.
However, right after the dance was over, I realized how amazing the dance was from what many people said, and I felt proud.
It was to the point where he wanted to reveal that he was his grandfather.
Sadohak cleared his throat as he looked at Dansomi hugging him with a smile.
“Was it… that big?”
“Of course! This is Somi’s first time seeing something like that in her life. “People praised it and said it was the best.”
“ha ha ha! yes? “I’m kind of the best.”
“that’s right!”
Sadohak seemed to have relaxed at Dansomi’s words. The way he kept smiling seemed somewhat heartwarming.
Nangong Cheon looked at that figure with a soft smile.
He is called the Demon Emperor and stands at the pinnacle of the 100,000 Demon Demons.
Sadohak, who reigned by spreading fear not only to Jeongsama but also to the outside world, is making an expression like that?
It was something I would live to see for a very long time.
“I knew you would laugh like that too. “Hehehe.”
“What’s funny!?”
Namgungcheon waved his hand in a loud voice.
Dan Woo-hyeon did not show his expression and just sat there, drinking and eating the meat in front of him.
Perhaps because of the unique atmosphere, people didn’t even come close.
I was wondering if I was becoming a target of anger for no reason.
At that time, someone carefully sat down next to Dan Woo-hyeon.
He let out a small groan and put the bottle of alcohol in one hand down on the floor.
“The atmosphere is really nice. “It’s been a while since I
did something like this.”
Namgung Sohye smiled brightly.
A lot of people crowded together. It reminded me of a time long ago when people from the Namgung family gathered together and had a banquet
.
Of course, the feeling was very different, but Namgung Sohye felt good for the first time in a long time.
I glanced to the side.
Dan Woo-hyeon took a sip of his drink in silence.
I felt really bad, so I searched in my pocket and put something down.
“sleep.”
“What is this?”
“Well, it’s a prize.”
Dan Woo-hyeon smiled.
It seems her actions were somewhat amusing. Seeing that smile for the first time, Namgung Sohye nodded, thinking that it was really about money.
“It is done. “Put it away.”
“Eh?!”
“Is there any reason to be surprised?”
“No… But wasn’t it because of the prize money that Confucius was depressed?”
“I am not a ghost obsessed with money.”
“I think that’s right….”
Dan Woo-hyeon frowned at Namgung So-hye’s words.
I wondered how it would be possible to say something like that about a person. Of course, money is important, but that doesn’t mean I didn’t feel good.
“I thought I made a mistake.”
“Mistake?”
“okay. “At first, I entered the competition to pick on Samtae… but before I knew it, that guy, Sadohak, was blocking my way.”
“Uhm….”
Namgung Sohye nodded slightly.
I really wanted to hear what Jang Sam-tae had done that led him to participate and not someone else’s, but I decided to ignore it and move on.
It didn’t seem like it was that big of a deal.
“Should I call it a spirit of victory? Or should I say it as a courtesy to those who challenge me…”
“Ah…”
I could see the general story.
Apostolate showed its shortcomings because it appeared in a place where it was not necessary to properly demonstrate one’s skills. Since so many people were there, the rumor about the missing person would spread quickly.
Perhaps the only good thing was that he was wearing a mask?
“I guess people will try to find the deceased. People will also flock to Agyang to see Macheongun.”
“yes.”
“It’s all Confucius Dan’s fault.” It was a story that couldn’t have happened if Dan Woo-hyeon hadn’t participated.
That’s why Namgung So-hye smiled and struck Dan Woo-hyeon’s chest with an awl. He made a puzzled expression.
“That’s poignant.”
“I learned it from Yeon.”
Namgung So-hye thought that whether she liked it or not, it had to happen at least once.
No matter how hidden they were, Namgungcheon and Sadohak were staying here, and there were many others as well.
Even if he tried hard not to reveal his power, it was clear that he could not avoid the planned future because rumors were already slowly spreading.
“But wouldn’t that be okay? However, if you are a person who is a good person, you will be able to overcome it.”
“is it?”
“sure. Besides, I won’t be swayed by people like that.”
“You are stating the obvious.”
“Then that’s enough. “No matter who comes.”
Namgung Sohye shrugged her shoulders and smiled.
Dan Woo-hyeon was strong.
His mental strength was also that great.
There was no one who could force him to move.
Namgung Sohye wanted to learn more about that.
“Ah, there is only one person who can move Confucius.”
“huh?”
While Dan Woo-hyeon was tilting his head, someone came running from behind.
Soon, he hugged Dan Woo-hyeon and burst into laughter.
“You know, Dad, you know! “Can’t you please forgive Uncle Jang now?”
“Yeah… I guess so.”
“and! thank you. “Then I’ll bring Uncle Jang.”
Dan So-mi smiled innocently and walked away from Dan Woo-hyeon.
Perhaps thanks to the child’s warmth that he felt for just a moment, Dan Woo-hyeon’s stiff expression relaxed considerably.
Namgung Sohye looked at that and opened her mouth.
“See, right? “Just one person.”
“…Right.”
Dan Woo-hyeon nodded in agreement.
