Episode 5: Bargain (1)
‘!?’
At the words that came out of Mo Qingyun’s mouth the guard’s expression hardened.
It was a story that could have been kept secret since Jangju was safe but I never expected Mok Gyeong-un to mention it directly.
‘No that…’
Are you really anxious to provoke your godfather Mrs. Seok?
That was like her secret.
If she said that she knew that it wouldn’t be strange for her to aim for as many murderous insects as she could in this place.
‘shit!’
Gochan became very stiff and looked at Mrs. Seok.
As expected Mrs. Seok’s expression had become more venomous than usual.
But she didn’t let anger pour out of her mouth right away.
that
‘this guy….’
In the first place she came here because she thought Mok Kyung-un might have seen or figured out something.
However Mo Gyeong-un’s attitude was completely unexpected.
Admitting that she knew his secret was no different from asking her to kill herself.
‘What is your intention?’
Is this bad guy coming out boldly because he thinks he has a weakness?
If that’s the case he has killed himself.
Anyway if Mok Yeong-ho were to become the leader this guy would have to be dealt with.
-Papak!
Madam Seok’s hand quickly grabbed Mo Gyeong-un’s neck like a snake seeking its prey.
Howie Gochan who saw the movements of his hands was convinced.
Coming from a martial arts family Jinhwa Shijiazhuang she was clearly a first-class expert.
She said ‘I can’t deal with it unless it’s death penalty.’
That also meant that he was an opponent that Mok Kyung-un could not handle.
‘ah?’
A strange look appeared in the eyes of Mok Gyeong-un who was holding his neck.
I was secretly surprised by her strength and unique hand movements that were stronger than I expected.
‘Is this woman strong?’
In the information sheet it was written that since she was from Geumhwa Seokjiajang she would be quite skilled in martial arts.
But at this level it was much stronger than Gochan.
‘It’s fascinating.’
Mrs. Seok’s wrists were extremely thin.
She was no different from any other woman but she was so strong.
As expected her martial power was mysterious.
Mrs. Seok’s eyes narrowed when she saw Mok Gyeong-un’s reaction.
‘This guy…’
She grabs her neck to scare her saying he could take her life at any moment but it doesn’t even show her embarrassment.
It wasn’t her own child so she didn’t see her often but she wondered did this child have this much guts?
She actually knew that she was the most timid of her half-brothers.
“you…..”
That one word that came out of Mrs. Seok’s mouth.
After hearing this Howie Gochan swallowed her dry saliva.
Could it be that they got caught?
Come to think of it if you become a first-class expert wouldn’t you be able to tell whether or not your opponent has learned martial arts just by grabbing their neck?
however
“….. Were you hiding her true colors?”
‘!?’
Go Chan was dumbfounded at the words that came out of Mrs. Seok’s mouth.
Should we consider this fortunate?
Or should we say that he actually became more wary?
He didn’t have any doubts but it seemed like Mrs. Seok had recognized her in a bad way.
“This is what you were like…”
At that time Mok Kyung-un opened his mouth.
“I don’t think that’s… important.”
“what?”
“If Lord Jang…..goes back….then…it will be difficult for the Grand Duke to become Lord Jang. …I guess so.”
“This guy!”
-closely!
Mrs. Seok’s hands became even stronger.
“upstart. Do you think I can’t kill you right here? “Where and with whom are you trying to bargain?”
“This…is a little painful.”
She frowned at those words from Mok Kyung-un.
If you put this much force on your neck it would be difficult to breathe but there was no significant change in expression.
Isn’t it painful?
While I was wondering Mok Kyung-un said.
“Yes… that’s right… bargaining… is… to… a certain degree… towards… the other party… I have boundaries… I have feelings.
Hey…it seems…possible.”
“wariness? Do you really think I would feel that way about someone like you?”
Among the four sons of the Mok family Mok Gyeong-un was the one with the least martial arts skills.
Moreover the mother is dead and the mother’s family is almost ruined so what can be done to make them feel wary?
It was right then.
“Ma Seung.”
The words were almost gone.
-Shudder!
At that moment a chilling sensation took hold of her enough to send shivers down her spine.
Then Mrs. Seok collided with something and was pushed behind her.
-Chrrrrrr!
Her eyes were shaking as she was pushed back about four steps.
‘What was that just now?’
I couldn’t see it but something touched me.
She was pushed back while generating energy for a moment but the sensation went beyond being truly unpleasant and gave her goosebumps.
“Whoa.”
At that time Mok Gyeong-un who had raised his upper body turned his neck and released it.
-Wow! Wow!
“It’s not a very pleasant feeling to have someone grab your neck.”
Mrs. Seok glared harshly at the seemingly relaxed tone of voice.
“What did you just do?”
“What are you doing?”
“It was clear just now…”
It was difficult to explain.
Mok Kyung-un did not do anything to himself.
But what is that strange feeling?
I couldn’t understand it but Mok Kyung-un sat down on the bed and said.
“Do you feel like bargaining now?”
“Bargain? That’s funny. “I guess there was some trick I was hiding but do you think I’ll have the same luck as before?”
“I guess it’s still there. “Then should I just be a maid?”
“what?”
“I think the left side would be better.”
“What are you talking about on the left…?”
It was a moment to ask a question.
“evil!”
Everyone’s eyes turned in the direction of the sound.
‘!?’
Mrs. Seok’s eyes wavered.
No not just her but everyone in her medicine hall’s eyes widened.
That was because one of the maids that Lady Seok had brought with her floated about a foot above her.
“Whoop whoop!”
It looked like she was about to scream in surprise but the maid muttered as if her mouth was blocked by something.
Everyone was speechless at this sight.
What on earth is going on?
Why am I acting like that when I’m the only one who thinks of a perfectly fine maid?
‘Do…that’s ridiculous.’
Mrs. Seok’s mind was confused by this strange phenomenon.
She was told that among the masters of deep learning there was one who could manipulate things with inner energy or true energy.
But there was no way this young guy was such an expert.
Moreover if she had displayed her profound spirit enough to lift her maid she would have sensed her energy to some extent.
‘What is it?’
Gochan the escort was equally surprised.
What does this mean?
Was the fake Mu Qingyun hiding this strange ability?
-Sigh!
At that time Mok Gyeong-un casually raised one hand and pretended to slit her throat.
It was that moment.
“Oops!”
Then the veins on her maid’s face which was floating in the air bulged as if something had caught her and her eyes rolled back.
She looked like she was going to run out of breath at any moment.
‘What about this?’
Her dead body came to mind.
Mrs. Seok embarrassed by that sight shouted.
“Stop it!”
“What are you talking about?”
“You’re doing this right now! “I don’t know what hex is but stop now!”
“well.”
“you!”
“I’m trying to prove that I’m worthy of bargaining with the great lady so wouldn’t it be okay to risk the life of at least one person?”
Mok Kyung-un smiled.
Seeing that Mrs. Seok’s expression became even harder.
She is a maid who looks like she will lose her breath at any moment.
I wouldn’t know her from being an ordinary maid but she was a child who had been taken care of by her parents Seokgajang.
-Wow!
She bit her lip and screamed.
“stop! Stop it! “I’ll listen to you talk about bargaining and all so stop now!”
Mok Kyung-un nodded lightly at her words.
Then
-thud!
The maid who was close to losing her breath fell unconscious on the floor.
“digestion! digestion!”
Another maid hurriedly examined the details of the unconscious woman.
She let out a sigh of relief thankfully her life was okay.
Mrs. Seok was also relieved but even more than that she had doubts about Mo Kyung-un’s strange abilities.
What on earth is this?
It was a power that had nothing to do with energy.
This was almost like a magic trick or supernatural power.
When did you acquire these strange powers?
‘…..this guy.’
Her mind was filled with doubts but since she didn’t know what this power was right away it was too risky to push herself against it.
To do that they should have brought only guard warriors who knew how to do martial arts.
Mrs. Seok who was glaring at her neck opened her mouth.
“…What are you bargaining for?”
“Since the owner is doing it today and tomorrow don’t you need the owner’s seal?”
“…..”
She didn’t answer but she didn’t deny it.
It wasn’t something she would deny in the first place.
It was the only way to ensure her succession.
But I didn’t understand.
“If you knew that you could have kept it hidden. Why are you talking about it?”
“Why are you talking?”
“okay. “If you were a pastor you too would want to become a chieftain.”
It was this that gave her her doubts.
She couldn’t understand why someone would tell her something that could be kept secret.
If you use the reference book seal you can gain the power of your vassals.
however
“I don’t really want to be.”
“what?”
Mrs. Seok was momentarily rendered speechless by the words that came out of Mok Gyeong-un’s mouth.
She doesn’t want to be the chieftain?
You could become the owner of the historic Wulin family a powerful family in northern Anhui Province but you don’t want that?
“…Are you telling me to believe that now?”
“Isn’t it incredible?”
“Would you believe it?”
“You won’t believe it. “You might think it’s cheating.”
“If there is no compelling reason…”
“Firstly as I said just now I am not interested and secondly should I just say that I don’t want to get involved and fight in the succession battle?”
“You don’t want to fight?”
“yes. “To be precise I’m not interested but I guess I should say that I don’t want to waste my time on something pointless.”
She frowned at these words of Neck Cultivation.
Does this guy now think that deciding on the owner of the Daeyeonmok Swordsman is a waste of time?
How much effort did she put in so that her own child Mok Yong-ho could become the head lord?
It was absurd in another way.
She said while staring at her neck.
“…..If you really don’t want anything tell me the location of the main seal and the non-level seal. “Then I’ll believe you’ve really given up.”
Mok Gyeong-un snorted at her words.
“You can’t do that.”
“Then I completely believe you…”
“Don’t believe it. Then I will make the same bargain with the second Confucius.”
“what?”
For a moment Mrs. Seok’s composure was shaken.
“What are you talking about now…..”
“It is you who heard. Since it seems like you don’t understand what she’s saying let me explain kindly. “I say I don’t need it but is it true that the only people who want a master’s seal are the great wife and the eldest brother Mok Yeong-ho?”
‘!!!!!’
Her expression completely hardened.
Seeing this Mok Kyung-un smiled and said.
“Now I think you know who has the sword hilt.”
