Book 2: Chapter 93: Why are you there? (8)

Standing perfectly horizontally The chopsticks were floating in the air as if someone was supporting them with their hand.

They were aimed right at Cale.

Gulp.

The sound of someone gulping could be heard through the silence.

The people who had been boisterous, the people who had been looking around

Everybody had their mouths closed while looking at the chopsticks and the area around them.

Human! Why is it so quiet? Are they all shocked because of the chopsticks?

Cale quietly sighed.

He started speaking.

Everybody put your weapons down.

Clang.

Choi Han put his sword back into the scabbard.

Sui Khan pulled back his extended hand and chuckled.

And

I'm okay.

Beacrox put his greatsword back into the scabbard on his back after Cale said that one more time.

Finally, Ron placed the dagger in his hand back into his pocket.

"Aw. Too bad. I thought we were going to fight.

Toonka sounded disappointed as he put the chair in his hand back down.

Boom.

His rough movements made quite a loud noise, potentially because of his disappointment.

Hoho.

Durst had his hands clasped tightly as he laughed before he made a comment.

You dare to throw chopsticks at the young master-nim. You must have forgotten what fear is.

Cale frowned. It was because of this nonsense that Durst, who had been quiet this whole time, suddenly spouted.

However, that was not the problem right now.

How vicious.

The Carnage Demon had her eyes opened wide while looking at him.

Cale got scared at her gaze.

The leader of the School of Carnage?

She was someone like Ron.

Having that thought scared him.

Cale slowly turned his gaze.

I need to avoid that old hag and quickly head to the guest house.

Human, what should I do with the chopsticks?

Should it put it back where it came from?

Oops.

As Cale flinched

Nice Beacrox told me! He said you need to return everything once you are done eating! Hehe! I guess I can give it to that worker kid!

Cale looked toward the worker.

He seemed to have returned after escorting the Sword Saint to the room.

The worker looked at Namgung Yoo Hak and Dokgo Ryeong Then at the broken chairs and table near the rising stars in shock.

No. Dont do that!

Cale wanted to tell Raon not to do that.

Unfortunately, he didnt have magic or sound transmissions.

Then the only thing left was to say it out loud. Cale opened his mouth to prevent any greater misunderstandings.

However, Raon was quicker than his voice.

Shaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-

There was a gentle gust of wind.

It was refreshing yet gentle.

The chopsticks moved gently as if they were dancing.

Cale could feel the fluttering of the wings that grazed his back.

Aigoo.

Cale was getting a headache.

The chopsticks stopped in front of the worker. The worker didnt seem to know what to do as he looked back and forth between Cale and the chopsticks. Cale held back a sigh and opened his mouth after seeing the workers gaze.

Take it.

Yes, yes sir! Yes, young master-nim!

The worker became shocked and quickly grabbed the chopsticks with both hands. He then carefully held them by his chest.

Cale's gaze moved toward the broken table and chairs. The container of utensils that had been on the table was rolling on the ground.

One pair of chopsticks that had been in that container seemed to have flown toward Cale.

His gaze moved past Dokgo Chang and focused on Un Seon, Jeong Hye, and Dokgo Ryeong.

Umm, umm-!

Dokgo Ryeong became flustered and urgently tried to speak.

We weren't trying to cause a commotion-

Cale raised his hand.

That made Dokgo Ryeong unable to say anything else.

He opened his mouth to speak.

I do not care what happened.

He could still feel the Carnage Demon's gaze.

He did not want to get involved with the Five Saints and Five Demons, including the Sword Saint.

He needed to quickly run away.

Cale turned around.

He then pulled a gold coin out of his pocket. It was from the money he had gotten from the Imperial family.

He handed it to Choi Han as he spoke.

Choi Han, hand this to the owner of the inn. It is compensation for the destroyed things.

Understood.

Dokgo Chang opened his mouth after hearing that.

Young master-nim, you do not need to do that. We will take care of-

"But people who supposedly know how to take care of things are the ones causing the issue?

Cale had noticed that the people of the Dokgo Clan seemed to be a bit hot-tempered.

Cale thought that there was a need to suppress them a bit.

The issue of rescuing Choi Jung Soo required stealthiness and calmness.

.

Cale spoke to Dokgo Chang, who could not say anything.

Lets go.

C, compensation!

Another voice interjected at that moment.

Its nothing, Hyung-nim.

Namgung Yoo Hak shook his head saying that it was nothing.

However, he clearly remembered what he had just done.

I didnt mock the Imperial family, did I?

Yeah. Although it was only half-respectful, I spoke formally to him.

I also didn't try to attack that young master Kim.

I just, yeah, I just shared my disappointment a bit.

That Imperial family bastard wont do anything to me.

That must be why he just left.

Fuck! A member of the Imperial family?!

He was a true sun that even the Namgung Clan did not dare to look at!

Namgung Yoo Hak did his best to tell himself that all he did was share his disappointment as he followed behind Namgung Tae Wi.

However, despite thinking that it was okay, his face looked quite uncomfortable.

Peace returned to the inn once they disappeared.

The awkward mood slowly returned to rowdiness.

It could not be helped.

The last remaining strong individual

The Carnage Demon had disappeared as well.

Hmm.

On top of the inns roof

The Carnage Demon appeared there and looked toward the rear yard when she made eye contact with someone.

Although she was using stealth techniques

One man was looking right at her.

It was the half-white-haired martial artist who had taken the dagger out while standing next to young master Kim.

Observing him will be difficult.

The Carnage Demon moved away from the inn's roof without any regrets.

However, she kept this young master Kim on her mind.

He didn't use any internal ki. He just used the power of his surroundings to stop the chopsticks.

He had done it naturally without any recoil.

The Carnage Demon could easily do something like that if she used her internal ki.

However, the important thing was that he had not used any internal ki.

At first, she had thought that she was mistaken.

However, that refreshing and warm breeze that was used when he returned the chopsticks to the worker

That gentle power was wind; it was nature itself.

Who is he?

Based on the demeanor of the Namgung Clan and those Beggars' Gang bastards, this young master Kim definitely had something about him.

The Carnage Demon licked her lips as if she had found something very interesting before disappearing again.

* * *

Cale picked up his cup of tea in the room with nobody but his people.

Dumplings are delicious!

Raons cheeks were full as he was eating dumplings.

Toonka! Dont touch mine!

I dont touch childrens food!

Right next to Raon was Toonka, who looked grotesque while his cheeks were full of dumplings as well.

Haaaaaaaa.

Cale sighed but ignored it all.

He filled his stomach with a light meal before taking a moment to rest.

He would start moving to look for Choi Jung Soo once Raon finished eating.

Excuse me, oh esteemed Purifier-nim.

"What is it?

Durst, who had been relatively quiet since coming to the Central Plains, started speaking.

The man, who was called Old Man Do here, smiled benignly before continuing to speak.

Its just that

Cale nonchalantly motioned with his chin, as if telling Durst to quickly tell him, and Durst continued speaking.

However, the smile had disappeared from his face.

Didn't you smell something foul earlier?

Huh?

Smell?

Cale had only smelled deliciousness inside the inn.

Durst started speaking again, with an extremely serious look on his face, as if he was sure that it was a foul stench even after thinking about it again.

"That Namgung? Do you remember the good-natured young man of the Namgung Clan?

Yeah. What about him?

Cale looked toward Chief Eunuch Wi, who was cooling the dumplings with a fan for Raon, commented.

His name is most likely Namgung Tae Wi. He is from the collateral line, but he is currently a squad leader of the Heavenly Guardians. He is young but people say that his martial arts is said to be as strong as the direct line.

I see. But what about him?

Cale looked at Durst with a confused gaze.

I smelled that scent from him.

What scent?

What is going on?

Cale started to get an ominous feeling.

As he was thinking that this was making him anxious

Durst spoke cautiously but sternly.

He smelled like a corpse.

What? A corpse? Perhaps?

Cale, Choi Han, and Sui Khan all looked at each other.

the Church of the Fire of Purification A smell that only the bishop of that church managed to smell

There was something here.

And that something was most likely

Cale nonchalantly commented.

So hes the living jiangshi?

His gaze moved back to Durst.

Cale felt as if he could understand why the God of the Fire of Purification had sent his believer, Durst, with him.

Cale had finally realized this old mans usefulness.

His eyes sparkled.
