CH 134

“Confucius, where are you going?” Yeon Ha-rin asked as she gently wrapped Tae-san’s arm against the wall. 

As she walked in this manner, she felt that she had finally become a lover. With that, she gently raised her head and looked at Byeok Tae-san. 

She then calmly looked ahead. She would look at her side once in a while and felt tempted to make eye contact with the other person, but she never did. She wondered how much she looked like that. In the end, the moment Yeon Ha-rin up and tried to look forward again, Byeok Tae-san turned his head and looked at her. 

Their eyes just met. Ha-rin looked up in surprise and quickly looked in front of him. In addition to this, he blamed himself. He wanted to make eye contact, so he looked up, but as soon as their eyes met, he turned his head away as if to run away. 

What a stupid thing to do. “It is difficult to respond to unexpected situations if you keep your gaze aside.” 

“Ah… Yes. That’s right.” Yeon Ha-rin grumbled inwardly. Did he really have to say that in this situation? 

“You seem to be working hard. It’s a lot stronger than it used to be.”

Yeon Ha-rin smiled pleasantly at Byeok Tae-san’s words. He was really prepared to die recently, and he felt like he was going to fly away when he was rewarded like this. 

At this, Yeon Ha-rin gave a little more strength to hold Byeok Tae-san’s arm. Come to think of it, it was the first time he had walked alone like this.

All in all, he felt better. “So where are we going now?” Yeon Ha-rin asked in a much brighter tone. 

At that, Byeok Tae-san stpped walking and pondered for a moment. “Confucius?” 

Yeon Ha-rin called to Byeok Tae-san with a puzzled expression, but Byeok Tae-san did not answer and remained silent. 

It didn’t take that long. After thinking, Byeok Tae-san looked at Yeon Ha-rin. “At first, I was going to take a look around, but… It seems like you’ve worked hard all this time, so I think it’s good to go there.” 

“Yes?” Yeon Ha-rin’s face turned red at what he was thinking. In addition to this, she nodded and proceeded to move. 

“Let’s go.” Byeok Tae-san walked briskly, and Yeon Ha-rin walked side by side with Byeok Tae-san.

“Confucius, here… where are you?”

Yeon Ha-rin gave a little more strength to his arm, which was holding the wall. It was a very creepy street. Judging from the fact that one can see the main base, the giru, and the guest cups, it seemed that there were quite a few people coming and going, but because it was night, the street was empty. 

However, he turned on the light inside to see if the giruna juru and gaekzan were open. Each building on the street was emitting a faint light. 

Byeok Tae-san slowly walked down the street. He didn’t forget to expand his senses around him to understand the situation. This was the street where the black buffalo were. In the beginning, the famous black swords in Wuhan did not pay any attention to them, so now that they had disappeared, there were no more people who could be regarded as black swords. 

Seeing that the Moorimmaeng and Heukryeon were attracted to such a distance and captured, it definitely seemed that they put a lot of effort into it. And in Byeok Tae-san’s mind, it was clear that they were still in infinity. If he had made a fuss and escaped from Wuhan, there was no way he could completely avoid Haomun’s eyes. 

Recently, Haomun had been growing really dazzlingly. Haomun’s gaze was clearly on this street as well. However, most had been removed. In the first place, knowing that Haomun was also here, he began to move discretely, away from prying eyes. They were really meticulous guys. 

“For now, let’s have a drink or two.” Saying that, Byeok Tae-san went into the base.

The dungeon was almost empty. Byeok Tae-san frowned as soon as he entered. It was old and shabby. Even if he were to understand it, messy was indeed a different story. Who would want to drink in a place like this? 

“I can see why there are no guests.” Yeon Ha-rin frowned and said so. 

To be honest, he didn’t want to drink here. If he hadn’t been with Byeok Tae-san, he would have left right away. 

Jeom So-yi rushed to the two of them. “Come on. Please take a seat that is comfortable for you.” 

Byeok Tae-san looked at Jeom So-yi. “Why, why?” 

At this, he looked at Byeok Tae-san with slightly anxious eyes. “Tell the master to come out.” 

“What?” 

“Tell the hostess to come. Call everyone who works here.” 

“Yeah? I… customer. If this….” 

Before he could finish speaking, a nearby table shattered, all by itself. Jeom So-yi looked at the broken table in amazement. “Huh… T-Then, I’ll call you right away!” 

And with that, he went back inside. There was a commotion from the inside. Yeon Ha-rin then looked at Byeok Tae-san with anxious eyes.

“Sir. Perhaps… May I ask what’s going on?” 

“It’s nothing. That guy isn’t an ordinary douchebag. That’s why the rest of them do it just to see if that’s the case.” 

“Yes? what is that….” 

Yeon Ha-rin couldn’t understand. However, looking at Byeok Tae-san’s expression and eyes, he was never doing this as a joke. He was more serious. After a while, Jeom So-yi brought out the owner, the housekeeper, and even the chores. 

Byeok Tae-san saw this and smiled. “Let’s go.” 

At the sight of Tae-san turning around and going out, everyone in the base looked at the back with bewildered eyes. Yeon Ha-rin bowed her head slightly with an apologetic expression to them and quickly followed Byeok Tae-san. 

“Wow… It’s really pretty.” The owner of Zuru murmured out of context. 

The host then received the word. “Did you see me making a sorry face when I left? I almost would have bought it.” 

“By the way, why did everyone call you?” 

Everyone simply shrugged at Jeom So-yi’s question. “Shall we check where we are going?” 

When the person doing the chores saw Byeok Tae-san and Yeon-ha-rin entering the giru, which was a little further away from the main base. “Is this a bit strange?”

“Why? What’s going on?” [Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]

Upon hearing this, everyone rushed out. After a while, the two came out of the giru again. In addition to this, he went into the nearby cupboard. Even in Giru, it was strange that the courtesans and other working people rushed out. 

Byeok Tae-san went into every building on this street and checked who was there. After that, the streets were crowded with people. Many people surrounded Byeok Tae-san and Yeon Ha-rin and stared at them. 

“Look, Confucius. what kind of act is this? All of them are dying because there is no business to conduct, so it would be difficult to come out like this,” the man with the best physique among the people gathered came forward and said to Byeok Tae-san. Still, he glanced at Yeon Ha-rin, who was standing right next to him. 

Byeok Tae-san then asked him. “You know who I am?” 

“How can I not know the first Confucius I have ever seen?” The man said proudly. 

However, Byeok Tae-san as well as Yeon Ha-rin clearly confirmed that his eyes fluttered slightly. Tae-san laughed bitterly. “In the future, when you lie, practice fixing your eyes.” 

At this, Ha-rin looked around her with a nervous expression. The people who live here were all ordinary people.

More than anything else, the fact that Byeok Tae-san had come all the way here meant that something was happening. “Where have you locked up the Moorimmaeng and the people from Heukryeon?” 

Yeon Ha-rin was surprised at those words. She didn’t even know what had happened while she was only practicing training, but it must have happened. “They imprisoned the people from the Moorimmaeng and Heukryeon?” 

“It seems that Confucius is misunderstanding something.” 

This time, an old-fashioned person came forward. “We are just ordinary people. What power do we have to imprison the fearsome people of the Moorimmaeng and Heukryeon?” 

“Ordinary people?” Byeok Tae-san laughed bitterly. The souls of the people who were gathered here now had a really terrible time buried in them. Even that young Jeom So-yi was more terrifying than the one who caught him in the old hyanghwaru and burned his soul to destroy it. 

However, were these guys really normal? 

“But… Did you come here alone by any chance?” Byeok Tae-san looked around at those words. Everyone’s eyes flashed sharply. 

“Are these guys clumsy?” 

At the words of Byeok Tae-san, some expressions hardened. “I know what you’re worried about, but you don’t have to worry about that. Because it was only the two of us who came here intimately.”

Meanwhile, people were busy moving from afar. This was to make sure that no one had followed Byeok Tae-san.

They seemed to be checking from quite a distance, but after making sure that no one really followed them, they sent a signal. Then, the old shrewd man who came later said with a soft smile. “It really is only the two of you.” 

“You said so.” 

“Did you really just say we were clumsy?” Byeok Tae-san looked up at him curiously, wondering what else he was saying. 

“We have already thoroughly investigated. We all know that Confucius came from the top of the golden wall and that this sojourner is Confucius’s fiancée.”

At that, Byeok Tae-san looked at Yeon Ha-rin. Then, Ha-rin’s eyes widened. She didn’t say anything, just widened the shape of her mouth. ‘It seems like they really don’t know anything.’ 

She thought that perhaps they weren’t being anonymous. If unknown, how many times had one been entangled with Byeok Tae-san? 

“Didn’t you bring Bangangsi?” The old man tilted his head at Tae-san’s question. 

“Bangangsi? Ah, it seems that people here call it Bangangsi. Ah… It’s a much more fitting name than just calling me Gangshi.” 

“So what did you prepare? Perhaps not everything, after all? Judging from the looks of it, no one seems to have mastered martial arts.”

At this, the old man grinned. “What do you need a swordsman for? As a matter of fact, there is no business in the number of heads.” At the absurd remark, Yeon Ha-rin put on an absurd expression on her face. “Are you kidding me? Are you going to attack us with them now?” The old man grinned. “Do you look funny? But soon you won’t be able to laugh.” 

Hearing those words, Byeok Tae-san looked down at the floor. Black smoke spread all over the floor. It was dark at night, so the smoke made it even harder to see. “Do you know what makes unmanned people scary? It’s all because of the interior. An uninhabited person is nothing more than chaff.” 

Yeon Ha-rin’s expression hardened at the words. She checked her strength through her quick fortune. Unsurprisingly, the danjeon did not move because it was tightly packed like a rock. 

Byeok Tae-san looked at Yeon Ha-rin for a moment before speaking. “Can you do it yourself?” 

In the midst of this? Yeon Ha-rin made an absurd expression for a moment, but she soon nodded with her determined gaze. “Yes. Leave it to me.” 

At this, she drew her sword. “I’m Yeon Ha-rin. Even without this strength, I am who I am. I will not fall for those clumsy things.” 

At this, Tae-san nodded. “That’s a good attitude. Now, shall we begin?” 

As soon as Byeok Tae-san’s horses fell, the people gathered on the street rushed in. They all looked like demons and charged with long swords towards the two of them. 

In addition to this, they didn’t just rush at them, but they formed a proper formation to preserve both the beauty and effectivity of the pincers. Byeok Tae-san looked at this and took a few steps to the side. 

Some rushed to Byeok Tae-san, and some to Yeon Ha-rin, but there were more that were focused towards Yeon Ha-rin. Crazy for Yeon Ha-rin’s beauty, many of the men rushed to her. 

“Hey! You can’t kill a woman! Minimize injuries!” Yeon Ha-rin gently swung her sword as she heard the nonsense. 

Although the internal attack was not shown, Yeon Ha-rin’s sword proved to be powerful. She cut through the gaps like a ghost. Blood splattered all over her. 

However, the scream could not be heard from anywhere. They were really bad guys. His limbs were severed and his chest, sides, and stomach bled profusely, but he did not moan. 

One might get tired of seeing such a sight, but Yeon Ha-rin slowly swung her sword without so much as a shift in her expression. To deal with all these people, stamina was the key. 

Chachaeng! Shu Gak! 

And so, this violent type of fighting continued. Even the people who rushed at Ha-rin seemed to have gotten tired of her, so they stopped for a moment. At that moment, the old man’s cry was heard. 

“I can’t. Take your medicine!” 

As if they had received an absolute command, everyone took a pill from their arms and swallowed it. In an instant, their mood changed. Even if one didn’t learn martial arts, if they were to eat Jeunghyeoldan, their physical ability would rise.

At this, Yeon Ha-rin’s expression hardened. She would never lose if she was in that state before, but she thought that it might be a bit difficult at this moment in time. 

And at that moment, Byeok Tae-san’s quiet voice was heard from the side. “You can give up at any time if it is difficult. I will help you.” 

Yeon Ha-rin clenched her teeth. Wasn’t that the type of statement that made you not want to give up? 

“Everyone, jump on it!” Yeon Ha-rin cried out before running towards the enemy. She skillfully slashed the blades pointing out from all directions and pierced through the gaps, constantly moving. 

She couldn’t stop. The key was to keep moving in a different beat so that the enemy would not be able to read one’s movement.

Yeon Ha-rin was doing it. Byeok Tae-san, who was watching the scene from the side, nodded. “That’s pretty good.” 

A happy smile appeared on his lips, but then also quickly faded. Those who rushed towards Byeok Tae-san were thrown by something and pushed back. And from there, he continued to watch Yeon Ha-rin’s fight.
