Book 2: Chapter 92: Why are you there? (7)

I thought the Sword Saint was showing up tomorrow?

Cale immediately looked toward Elder Ho. His scowl made his annoyance extremely obvious.

He heard a stubborn-sounding voice at that moment.

It's the Beggars' Gang.

I greet senior Sword Saint.

Elder Ho urgently bowed and greeted him.

The other members of the Orthodox faction bowed as well. It was their way of showing respect toward the greatest expert of the Orthodox faction.

Hmph.

However, the Sword Saint, Namgung Tae Soo, ignored the greetings of the others and snorted.

He then rudely commented, as if he found something not to his liking.

"Why are you blocking the way?

He was telling Elder Ho to move and get out of the way.

That-

Hmph.

Elder Ho tried to say something but the Sword Saint ignored him. Instead, the young man next to him stepped forward after sensing his gaze.

Hey there.

Yes, Noble Warrior.

He spoke to the worker.

Give us a room.

That-

The worker warily looked around before cautiously responding.

That, there are currently no empty rooms-

The workers body slowly curled forward. He was scared of the stubborn-looking old man and the young men with vicious gazes.

He was even more scared because he could not fathom what martial artists might do. He felt the back of his neck go cold.

Really? Then I guess we just need to make room.

The young man commented in a relaxed voice.

Excuse me?

The worker blankly asked back, but the young man had already stomped toward the tables on the first floor and asked the people closest to him.

Will you empty your room?

"Excuse me?

They looked like wanderers.

Ha! Even the Namgungs cannot kick people out like this!

How can the so-called Orthodox faction threaten people like this?!

The young man tilted his head to the side.

I have no thoughts of threatening you.

He responded with a confused look before pulling something out of his shirt and placing it on the table.

.

.

A couple of gold coins sparkled on the table.

The young man calmly commented.

We will pay you if you empty your room.

He then smiled before looking toward the worker and asking.

"What is the most expensive alcohol you have here? I want to serve these Noble Warriors.

Oh.

Cale watched him with interest.

The young man placed his hands on the shoulders of the wanderers who were shocked after seeing the gold coins and spoke in a good-natured voice.

Even if you won't let us borrow your room, I will still treat you to a bottle. I ask for your understanding if I have offended you in any way.

Ahem. Hem.

Gold coins and alcohol. The young man gently patted the shoulders of the wanderers who were contemplating because of these two things and continued to speak.

We urgently rushed over from Sichuan and have been stuck sleeping outside. That is why we want to be able to wash up and rest in peace, could you please help us?

The wanderers pupils were shaking.

These gold coins were equivalent to a few months worth of commission fees they would receive.

Of course, wanderers with high levels of martial arts would be considered as precious as a gold nugget, but these wanderers who had not yet reached the First Rank, ones who had just left the Third Rank and reached the Second Rank, could not ignore the amount of money these gold coins were worth.

Furthermore, this person from the Namgung Clan was asking for their help and offering them alcohol.

Ahem. Ahem. It would indeed be difficult if you've had to sleep outside for a few days.

Right?

After taking these gold coins and drinking the alcohol

They could sleep outside one day or pay someone in a nearby house to let them borrow a small space for the night.

Yeah! Wouldnt it be an honor to be able to give up our room for senior Sword Saint?

Hear, hear!

The young man smiled brightly at the wanderers response.

Thank you.

He then approached the worker. He spoke while his back was toward the table with the wanderers.

Please serve your most expensive alcohol and matching snacks to those two Noble Warriors. I will pay for them. Also, please lead us to our room.

Y, yes sir!

Cale had a thought while looking at him.

That's a rare ability.

He heard Chief Eunuch Wi's sound transmission in his mind at the same time.

Currently, the Namgung Clan is the wealthiest in the Orthodox faction.

Fist King Mok Hyeon then sent a sound transmission as well.

Leave it to the Namgung Clan to show off their wealth.

He continued.

More importantly, the gazes of the Dokgo Clan members seem quite serious.

Cale could see that the Dokgo Clan's young clan leader had her fists clenched. At least Dokgo Chang looked as if he was relaxed.

Umm, esteemed Noble Warrior-nim. May I escort them first before escorting you to your room?

The worker gestured toward Cale. To be more specific, he was gesturing toward Chief Eunuch Wi.

Ah, that is okay, sir.

Chief Eunuch Wi waved his hand.

I will ask my nephew to lead us there. But we would like to put in an order for some food soon.

Y, yes sir!

Chief Eunuch Wi motioned to the Eastern Depot member after hearing the workers response.

Lets go.

Cale heard Chief Eunuch Wis sound transmission at that moment.

We will leave this area first, sir.

Thats right.

That was a wise decision.

Cale could sense it after seeing the old Sword Saint's stubborn attitude and the way the young man from the Namgung Clan took care of things.

It would be tiring if we got mixed up with them. So lets just avoid them.

This was clearly a warning.

Hmm.

The Sword Saint looked back and forth between Cale and Elder Ho before walking again. The good-natured acting young man and the worker followed behind the Sword Saint.

Of course, he gave an order to the remaining young man first.

Yoo Hak. We will eat soon, so put in the order.

Yes, Hyung-nim.

Cale watched that before motioning to Chief Eunuch Wi with his eyes.

I will escort you right away.

Yes, please. I am getting quite hungry.

Human, I'm hungry!

Not me, but Raon.

Cale gently nudged them and Chief Eunuch Wi also acted as if they could not push it back any longer and headed toward the guest house with the Eastern Depot informant.

They are not coming.

He took a peek to the back after Sui Khan said that to him.

The Dokgo Clan and the rising stars were chatting with the remaining person from the Namgung Clan.

He heard Chief Eunuch Wi's sound transmission.

Namgung Yoo Hak is a direct descendant of the Namgung Clan as the patriarch's second son. He is the young clan leader's little brother.

In addition, the Dokgo Clan and the Namgung Clan have a very bad relationship.

The reason the Dokgo Clans power started decreasing was because their main business failed. New businesses appeared in the place of those failed businesses. The new owners of all of those businesses were the Namgung Clan.

Of course, the Namgung Clan claimed that the process of making that happen was clean, but nobody in the Orthodox faction, Unorthodox faction, nor even the Demon Cult believed them.

However, everybody just keeps that belief to themselves because there is no evidence.

Cale nonchalantly nodded his head.

None of my business.

It was an issue that basically had nothing to do with him.

This isnt my home anyway.

That is why the Dokgo Clan grinds their teeth whenever the Namgung Clan is brought up.

And for the Namgung Clan, it was beneficial that one of the two clans famous for using heavy blades naturally declined.

After that, the Namgung Clan and the Dokgo Clan have had a bad relationship.

Cale started to speak.

"Do you think that they will cause an incident?

Chief Eunuch Wi shook his head.

"There shouldn't be any issues as Noble Warrior Dokgo Chang is there.

As a senior in the Dokgo Clan, Dokgo Chang wouldnt do anything like that.

"Furthermore, everybody will just quietly have a mental battle since the Carnage Demon is here as well.

Thats true; anybody with a brain would not fight in this inn. Yes, yes indeed.

Cale thought about the Dokgo Clan and the rising stars who seemed to at least be decently smart.

Bang!

Hmm?

Uncle, I cant hold it in any longer!

It was at that moment.

He heard something break.

You dare, you dare to insult my clan?!

Ha! Insult? You sure have quite the victim mentality! I cant chat with such a lowly fool!

The Dokgo Clans young clan leader, Dokgo Ryeong, and the Namgung Clan's second son, Namgung Yoo Hak.

The moment the two of them raised their voices

Cale didnt even look back.

Haa, these idiots. Why do these martial artist bastards always have to fight inside inns?

Why is it that such esteemed individuals who dream of the bright future of the Orthodox faction are with someone who knows nothing? Please dine with us instead.

Human! That Namgung Yoo Hak or whatever is sneering at Dokgo Ryeong while trying to chat nicely to daoshi Un Seon!

Haaaaa. There is always one trash in a clan. I guess Namgung Clan's trash is Namgung Yoo Hak.

Ha. And I am the trash of my family.

Cale clenched his eyes shut.

It was at that moment.

Boom, bang!

He heard something else break and

Gasp!

He also heard someone gasp.

Human!

Raon shouted in shock.

What is going on?

As Cale got chills on his back

He finally turned around.

Clang!

Choi Han pulled out his sword.

However, Cale did not see that.

Chopsticks!

For some reason, chopsticks were flying toward Cale.

What the?

As Cale subconsciously said that in shock

The moment Choi Han swung his sword to smack the chopstick and Sui Khan sighed while extending his hand

Ooooooooong-

There was a short vibration before the chopsticks stopped in the air.

Human! I stopped them! I held them there with mana!

It was at that moment.

Clunk!

There was a loud noise before a chair fell back.

!

The Carnage Demon. She was looking at Cale in astonishment.

Silence filled the inn while Cale felt the chubby front paw on his back and heard Raon's voice.

Hehe! I did a good job stopping them! Human, praise me! I will protect the weakened you!

Mm.

Cale looked at the Carnage Demons shaking pupils and felt as if a big misunderstanding was about to occur.

For reference, in the Wuxia world that Cale knew, only an extremely skilled expert could stop chopsticks or a sword in the air without even moving their hands.

Well, this is awkward.

A lot of thoughts filled Cales mind through the silence.
