Book 2: Chapter 106: Unbelievable (5)

<Unbelievable (5)>

Cale just looked away from Choi Jung Soo, who was warily eyeing him while still shoving stir-fried meat into his mouth.

He then picked up a dumpling.

It was at that moment.

H, human-

Raon sounded anxious.

"A, are you going to eat more?

Cale found this to be odd but answered the question.

Yeah. I'm hungry.

Clunk.

Beacrox got up from his seat.

I will go attempt to make a steak.

He then put on two pairs of white gloves and then walked out.

Human, are you okay?

Raon truly looked concerned as he looked at Cale. Choi Jung Soo stopped eating as well and blankly asked.

Youre going to eat more?

There was a pile of empty plates next to Cale.

It was not just one or two plates. There were at least five or six of them.

I'm hungry.

Cale answered nonchalantly before telling the truth after receiving some sharp gazes.

My body is fully recovered, but it keeps asking for food, potentially because it used up a lot of energy. So, it is okay for me to eat.

Shh.

Raon poked a dumpling with a pair of chopsticks and placed it in front of Cale.

Human, you need to recover quickly so eat a lot! You are right! You need to eat a lot to heal!

But I'm fully recovered. No, I was never injured?

Haaaaaaaa.

Raon sighed and shook his head before pulling an apple pie out of his spatial dimension and placing it on the table.

It was an apple pie from the Roan Kingdom which was still fresh thanks to the effects of the spatial dimension.

Human, I have a lot of apple pies. Eat a lot!

.

Cale had a lot he wanted to say but just held it in.

Instead, he just silently ate.

And continued to eat without stopping.

Choi Jung Soo looked at Cale, who looked as if he wouldn't eat much but continued to eat nonstop, with disgust and stopped moving his chopsticks.

Cale noticed this and asked.

"Are you going to talk now?

Yeah.

Choi Jung Soo sighed and put his chopsticks down before leaning back on his chair.

Now that Beacrox left, only Cale, Choi Han, Sui Khan, Raon, and Choi Jung Soo were in here.

Of course, outside this room There were more people than before in the guest house. They all had things to do, so they could not all be together.

Ron was with Chief Eunuch Wi to deal with the Carnage Demon who had stealthily shown up, Durst was with Namgung Tae Wi, and Toonka was still keeping an eye on Number 7.

Somehow only the related people remained.

Cale had that thought before hearing Choi Jung Soo start to speak and focused on him.

I waited because I heard my dear colleague was about to come.

Choi Jung Soo then smiled. Cale opened his mouth to speak.

Thats it?

Ah!

That seemed to make Choi Jung Soo realize something as he pulled an old book out of his pocket.

It was an extremely old book without even a title on it.

That book was placed on the table.

"This is for my paternal cousin once removed.

Choi Jung Soo then pushed the book toward Choi Han.

He couldn't make eye contact with Choi Han and just scratched his head as he did that.

I almost forgot.

Cale quietly watched before nonchalantly commenting.

Is that the Sky Sword thing?

Sky Sword.

The martial arts that the entire Triumvirate was going crazy to find.

Oh. You do know about it. There is nothing my colleague does not know!

Cale looked at Sui Khan. However, Sui Khan was already not looking at either Cale or Choi Jung Soo and was just looking up in the air with his arms crossed.

He didn't even sigh.

Choi Jung Soo commented, almost as if he was mumbling to himself, at that moment.

For some reason, I cant look at him.

He then peeked toward Choi Han.

Cale was wondering what he was doing, but Choi Han was also unable to look at Choi Jung Soo and was simply staring at the Sky Sword with a piercing gaze, making Cale keep his mouth shut.

Choi Han mumbled in a low voice.

I heard that you were being chased by martial artists because of this.

Well, that is true.

Choi Jung Soo responded in a quiet voice, which was not like his usual self.

But you are going to give this to me?

You could say that.

.

.

The two Chois were silent without being able to look at each other.

Choi Han, why are you so stiff? And glutton Choi Jung Soo, are you always so concerned about what other people might be thinking?

Raon tilted his head and asked but the two Chois could not respond.

Cale sighed internally while looking at them.

This is unexpected.

He knew how much Choi Han had longed for Choi Jung Soo and for family.

Furthermore, he had also seen how lonely Choi Jung Soo had been, living on his own.

That was why he had thought that the moment these two met each other might be a bit emotional.

But I guess this is how they are?

Choi Han looked innocent but he was not the type to show his emotions on his face.

Choi Jung Soo looked a bit looser, but he was also stoic. He was someone who had created graves for his family. Someone like that could not survive without becoming emotionless.

Cale found this to be odd but offered a candied fruit to Raon, who seemed disgruntled with his cheeks puffed up.

He then lightheartedly commented.

We will first go to the Martial Arts Alliance and take care of the living jiangshi in the Orthodox faction. Then we will take care of the Demon Cult followed by the Unorthodox faction. We will take care of the Blood Cult at the end.

He then evaluated his plan with a casual tone.

Its simple.

He felt that his surroundings had turned oddly quiet and looked around at the others.

"What is it?

Haaaa.

Sui Khan sighed.

Seeing this and experiencing it in person are different.

"Excuse me?

Sui continued to speak to Choi Jung Soo without caring about Cale being confused.

Hey Jung Soo.

Yes sir!

Go peck around at the God of Death to see if there are other ways of purifying living jiangshis.

Yes sir!

Choi Han, who had been quietly listening, started to speak.

We will ask Number 7 one more time as well. Maybe there is a way to take care of the living jiangshis.

Choi Jung Soo peeked at him and commented.

T, that is a g, great idea, paternal cousin once removed-nim.

Cale clenched his eyes shut.

Cale, do you need to purify? If you die, the hyung-nims and noonims will kill me too.

He heard the crybaby's voice when he closed his eyes.

Cale opened his mouth to speak.

Lets call in Chief Eunuch Wi and Elder Ho.

Let's just work.

Cale wanted to quickly head back home.

But there was something he needed to confirm before that.

Choi Jung Soo.

Hmm?

When do you need to go?

Smile. The corners of Choi Jung Soo's lips curled up.

"Whenever I want to go?

Tap. Tap.

Cale tapped at the table before asking Choi Jung Soo a question in a casual tone.

You're going to leave this world in the end too, arent you?

That's right. I'll probably leave when you do?

Then let me make you an offer.

Sui Khan watched the corners of Choi Jung Soo's lips twitch as they curled up. His eyes were sparkling.

He looked like a kid who was about to do something fun.

Sui Khan chuckled before shrugging his shoulders at Choi Han when they made eye contact.

They heard Cale's voice at that moment.

Lets spread some rumors that the Sword Demon is a part of the Blood Cult.

Sui Khan held back a sigh.

Ohh, me being a part of the Blood Cult? Really?

Yeah. I think we need to spread some rumors about the Blood Cult in the Central Plains to start. We will also spread a rumor that the Blood Cult has the Sky Sword.

Oh, that sounds fun!

The Blood Cult needs to struggle too.

Hahaha! The martial artists are going to go crazy not only looking for me but also the Blood Cult!

Sui quietly watched the youngest members of his team chatting with each other while on the same frequency.

In the end, he made a comment.

Hey Rok Soo, Jung Soo. You two haven't changed at all.

Sui Khan lowered his head after seeing the two youngest of his team finding his slightly tired voice to be odd.

Hey Sui Khan, do you have a headache? Eat this!

He silently placed the candied fruit Raon offered him in his mouth.

One of his hands continued to touch his scabbard. It was as if he was itching to pull it out and go fight.

Mm.

Choi Han observed him and touched his scabbard as well.

The atmosphere seems weird! I want to see crown prince Alberu for some reason!

Cale ignored Raon's words.

* * *

I will go to the Martial Arts Alliance as well.

The Sword Saint looked Cale right in the eyes and spoke seriously.

No, he spoke with determination.

Young master Kim, I will assist you with your needs.

Cale thought that this was good. Elder Ho, one of the Beggars' Gang's elders and the Sword Saint of the Namgung Clan helping him should make everything go smoothly.

I would have no issues at all if you would be with us, Sword Saint.

Cale responded as calmly as possible.

The Sword Saint then responded with a solemn look on his face.

I'm glad that I can be of help. We should stop by the Namgung Clan for a moment to leave Tae Wi there and then head toward the Martial Arts Alliance.

Cale opened his mouth to happily agree.

However, he closed his mouth after what the Sword Saint said next.

I know you are in a hurry, but I will be very happy if our benefactor could stop by the Namgung Clan for a bit.

What the hell, why is his gaze like that

Cale felt unsettled at the Sword Saint's burning gaze.

He heard the invisible Raon's voice in his mind at that moment.

Human! Are we finally looting the Namgung Clan?

I dont know. I dont think looting the Namgung Clan is the issue right now?

Cale subconsciously looked away from the old man's burning gaze.

The back of his neck felt oddly cold.
