< Episode 57 Water Ghost (4) >
“How are you feeling? Do you think you now know the difference between cooperation and threats?”
Old Man Beom bit his lower lip as he heard Mo Kyung-un’s voice coming from behind him.
Surely he had no idea that he would be repaid in this way.
I think I touched the wrong person.
‘These guys…’
The young guys were extremely vicious.
I never expected that he would take the young lady hostage in retaliation.
No he didn’t even have time to anticipate this in the first place.
Old Man Pan glared at Nie Chun and Meng Wuyue with harsh eyes.
‘Are these young people not members of the political faction?’
Old Man Pan’s mind became complicated.
Although he was forced to do so because of the young lady’s anger he would not have gone this far if he were a martial arts sect that values consultation.
That means
‘Safain?’
Old Man Pan knew that unlike the political faction members who valued face and honor the Sa faction people valued practicality and profit and did not hesitate to do such things.
If that’s the case it gets even more difficult.
Even though they have already apologized and provided compensation coming out this way means that negotiation is not working.
-closely!
Old Man Pan gritted his teeth.
The situation is so unfavorable that he feels angry.
However in times like these you need to remain calm.
The girl who was taken hostage is also probably feeling scared as she is experiencing this situation for the first time so if she does not deal with it carefully the worst situation will come to her.
It was then.
“Ruthless bastards…”
She thought she was frightened but the woman in cotton silk fluttered her cheeks and opened her mouth.
Old Man Beom clicked his tongue at her attitude.
I guess it’s definitely his girlfriend.
To see such words spoken even in a situation where his life is threatened.
‘No.’
Old Man Pan looked at the woman in the cotton cloth and shook her head.
This meant that the situation was dangerous so we should refrain from speaking.
No matter how much she was raised and said to be a naive woman she was basically smart.
She figured that at least she wouldn’t do anything foolish in this situation.
“Look here.”
Old Man Beom spoke calmly to Mok Gyeong-un.
“yes.”
“It is clearly Nobu’s fault in this matter. However no matter how well you secure your blessings in the martial arts world isn’t it too much to mess with an old man and a young woman? “Please let that person go and instead pour all your anger on Nobu.”
Old Man Beom humbled himself as much as possible and spoke as if pleading.
He was trying to get sympathy since the situation was already at its worst.
Of course this courtship of sympathy was intended to form a sympathy-like public opinion not only among those who were threatening them but also among those around them.
-Roaring!
Due to the old man’s intention the people in the room started whispering and causing an uproar.
In fact from their perspective it only seemed like Nie Chun and Meng Muyak had suddenly barged in and attacked the women and guard warriors of the village temple.
“no. “What on earth are these authors?”
“Why are they doing that?”
They were whispering but of course it was bound to be heard.
‘That’s not good.’
Nie Chun the third guard of the Heaven and Earth Association main building felt burdened by the attention of those around him.
I followed Mok Gyeong-un’s orders that suddenly rang in my ears but there were too many people watching.
In this situation no matter what her status holding her knife to her woman’s throat and threatening her was not a very good picture.
“My lord.”
In response Nie Chun called Mo Gyeong-un and gave him a look.
He meant that since he seemed to have given them enough warning it would be okay to end it at this level.
After reading this Old Man Pan spoke again in a hushed voice.
“Nobu is asking me this. “Please at least let me go.”
I thought that no matter how Safa people were they were still human and could not just ignore appeals to sympathy.
At that time Mok Gyeong-un opened his mouth.
“Hmm. “There are two of them: an old man and a child.”
“…No need to include Nobu.”
“yes. Of course it should be. “It would be shameless for a martial arts expert like an old man to reach the pinnacle of martial arts to be treated like an old man.”
“I know what you mean. So please don’t look at that sword aimed at you…”
“But. “Who was the person who ordered such a great expert to use his strength to bring us back?”
“…”
Mok Gyeong-un’s words left Old Man Beom speechless.
“Isn’t it clear that it was said that it was because of the icon of that woman from the cotton temple outside?”
Old Man Beom looked embarrassed at these words and said
“Hey man. “When did Nobu say so?”
If he says it this way wouldn’t he be using the young lady as an excuse?
Old Man Beom conscious of the woman’s anger hastily made an excuse.
“You didn’t give such an order. “This is purely because Nobu is hurting you…”
“Don’t bother trying to fix it.”
“It’s not a fix…”
-closely!
At that moment Mok Gyeong-un grabbed Old Man Beom’s shoulder.
And he pressed hard
“Hmm.”
-thud!
Old Man Beom’s knees were forced down.
Although he was said to have possessed profound true energy after training for a long time there was no way he could be compared to an expert who had reached the state of flowering scriptures.
-Wow!
Old Man Pan gritted his teeth.
Unlike before it was extremely humiliating to be treated like this in front of so many people and so many people.
However old man Beom had endured even greater humiliations ‘there’ for a long time.
Therefore I was able to endure as much as I could to get out of this situation.
Old Man Beom calmly opened his mouth again.
“Look. Isn’t this enough? Please stop here…..”
“The decision about whether enough is enough or not is not made by the party who committed the crime.”
-Wow!
“Turn it off.”
The old man’s expression was twisted in pain as his hand gripped his shoulder as if he was going to break it.
Then the woman in the cotton cloth shouted.
“ball!”
Old Man Beom was distressed by that sight but shook his head with all his might.
It meant never to come forward.
however
“stop! “Stop it!”
Unable to bear it any longer the woman in cotton shrieked at her neck.
Mok Kyung-un smiled and said.
“Now you’re finally opening your mouth.”
“Ruthless bastard. “Take your hands off the ball… right now!”
“It’s my heart other than taking my hands off it.”
“under!”
The woman in the cotton cloth was dumbfounded.
No one has ever insulted him like this.
But at best a guy with a smooth face like a scoundrel ignores his orders?
The woman in cotton trembled and opened her mouth.
“You are truly a man of extreme wantonness.”
“You are the one who was self-indulgent. “The person who issued this order by ordering a busy person to come should not say something like that.”
“you! “How dare you!”
“Ahh. “Of course I can’t say it in words.”
-Wow!
“Off.”
At that moment an even louder scream came out of Old Man Pan’s mouth.
I gritted my teeth and endured it but my face turned red and I could guess how painful it was just by looking at the blood.
Even the shoulder where he was grabbed was stained with blood.
“stop! stop!”
“Do you want that?”
“okay. deep waters! So stop now…”
“…If you want to let it go there is a simple way.”
“The simple way?”
“yes.”
“What is that?”
“Get down on your knees and apologize. “If I do that my hands might lose strength.”
“…..”
At those words her entire body trembled with anger.
When she left ‘there’ she received earnest advice from Old Man Beom so she tried not to reveal her identity as much as possible but now she couldn’t bear it.
She soon took off her own veil.
Then she revealed the beautiful face hidden inside.
“Huh.”
“and….”
Exclamations of admiration flowed from all over.
Not only did she have a beautiful face but she was also a woman with a truly noble appearance.
She was such that even Mong Muyak who was holding the blade to her neck was inwardly surprised when he saw her face.
‘What on earth is this woman?’
Even more than her appearance the elegance she exuded was extraordinary.
This was not something ordinary people could have.
Then the woman with her face exposed opened her mouth glaring fiercely at her neck.
“Rude guy. “How dare you do something like this knowing who I am?”
‘what? ‘This woman?’
Hearing her words like this Meng Wuyao frowned.
She had a great expert like an old man with her as her escort and she was wearing very luxurious clothes so he guessed that she was not an ordinary person.
But even though she was that kind of woman if she were put in a situation like this she would naturally be scared and tremble or give in but she was still spirited.
She even seemed quite proud of her status judging by the way she spoke.
That means
‘Could it be that this woman… is related to the government or the imperial palace?’
Her Mong Muyak swallowed dry saliva with her stiffened face.
If this woman is really related to the crown or the imperial palace she is quite embarrassed.
Although the relationship between Gwan and Mulim has improved a lot in recent years they still maintain an inviolable territory between them.
If her guess was correct a really annoying situation could have arisen.
Moreover this confidential mission was even more so because it was the opening of the imperial capital.
‘It might be better to end it here.’
however
“Do I have a duty to know who they are?”
Rather her neck cultivation went one step further.
Naturally Mo Qingyun’s provocation like this could not help but make her even angrier.
“under! “Is this what comes out like that?”
“You’re making things worse that will end in one knee.”
“You are the one who makes things worse. “I wonder if she can be so rude even after knowing who the woman she saw is…”
“It would be a bad choice to say any more.”
Her words were cut off by a lift in her throat.
At this she snorted and spoke in her haughty voice.
“joy. There is no use regretting now. “I definitely want you…”
-Kwasik!
“Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahaa
It was before she even finished speaking.
With her horrendous scream Old Man Pan’s shoulder twisted causing her bone to protrude through the flesh.
The woman who was trying to reveal her identity at the sight of the terrible sight was momentarily horrified and at a loss for words.
Gyeong-un her neck smiled and said to her.
“Shall I tell you in advance what will happen next?”
“You…you! “How dare you!”
“I don’t know who you are. I’m not even interested. However if I accidentally reveal my precious identity and an inconvenient situation arises I will have no choice but to make a choice.”
“An inevitable choice?”
“yes. “I’m going to make it like nothing happened.”
“What?”
“I guess you don’t understand. Do you know the term ‘killer leafhopper’?”
‘!?’
Killing and killing people.
It meant killing people to prevent words from leaking out.
At these words her arrogant yet confident expression completely hardened.
But the tree cultivation did not stop there.
She looked at the people around her in the guest room with indifferent eyes and spoke casually.
“It’s such a pity. If that little guy opens his mouth you won’t be able to get out alive. Well it’s not my fault so blame Soje.”
‘!!!!!!!!’
As soon as these words were finished the atmosphere in the guesthouse became silent for an instant.
Although he spoke quietly as if it was no big deal the feeling of intimidation was enough to drive everyone into extreme tension.
‘This guy!’
How can the situation be driven this way?
When she opened her mouth out of sheer absurdity all eyes in her room turned towards her.
She was taken aback by her gaze which contained such resentment and fear that it stung.
‘Why?’
The real target of the threat is that man but why is he looking at himself like that?
Her lips could not part from their gaze.
Meanwhile Mok Gyeong-un’s face was seen in the shadow of her eyes.
Her face was full of malice with an eerie smile that stretched the corners of her mouth to her ears.
– Creepy!
Goosebumps appeared all over her body starting from her spine.
The moment her fear took hold of her whole body she lost all strength in her legs.
-thud!
