Taejonbirok Volume 9 Episode 1

Chapter 53: The Lazy Man on the Road (1)

I had a feeling.

There were many times when I felt like something was going on in the dark. But there was no evidence, and no one seemed particularly suspicious.

It seems that not only me, but also Mr. Jo Hyeon felt the same way.

huh?

Since Hyun Jo and I felt the same thing, didn't we have similar levels of insight?

Woohoohoohoo.

I guess you could say that.

… … I'm just joking. Don't be so serious.

Later, as time passed and I gained experience and knowledge, it might have been different, but at the time, I was just a child. I couldn't dare compare myself to Elder Jo Hyeon.

But the fact that I also felt the same way means that their movements have changed quite specifically.

Anyway, what should I say at that time… … .

Feeling like finding your way in the fog?

I felt like I should go this way, but I wasn't sure, and I had a strange feeling that I'd get lost if I just walked.

That anxiety turned into certainty, which was what you called the volcanic eruption.

What was said to later generations?

When the evildoers swarmed the volcano and targeted the world's great scholars, the Gwanghwi-Won-Jun stood up in indignation and said, "Whoever cannot surpass me will not dare to set foot on the volcano even once?

Ugh… … .

You truly have the demeanor of a hero.

But what does it look like in reality?

Heheheehe.

Don't frown like that. I'm sure you've guessed by now. Reality is sometimes very cruel.

yes?

Yeah, that's good to know.

So let me tell you what happened there. You'll probably find it interesting when you hear it.

Yeah, what happened then?

I think something happened on the way there, but it's been so long that I can't remember clearly.

There was definitely something going on.

***

Namgung Hye couldn't show her face.

'I'm going to get wrinkles.'

I know that it's good to keep a blank expression on your face to keep your skin looking smooth, but I couldn't keep my eyebrows from getting furrowed.

It was obvious why her brows were furrowed.

Wi Yeon-ho.

Who else but him could possibly embarrass her?

Namgung Hye looked up at the carriage with a slightly absent-minded expression.

Before anyone knew it, Wei Yanho had crawled out of the carriage and was lying on the carriage ceiling.

That in itself is not so strange.

When I came to Jeongmu Alliance with Wei Yan-ho a while ago, I saw Wei Yan-ho lying down on the carriage as if it was a natural thing, so there was no need to be embarrassed again.

What made Namgung Hye flustered was not Wi Yeon-ho on top of the carriage, but the women guarding Wi Yeon-ho's left and right.

'So-called Miss Lee Seol-hwa… '

This wasn't the first time that Lee Seol-hwa had acted like that towards Wi Yeon-ho. She hadn't said anything out loud, but hadn't she already seen her do things like prepare Wi Yeon-ho's food on several occasions?

As a woman myself, I often wondered why that person did that, but I didn't find it strange that that person would do that.

The problem is the woman sitting across from Lee Seol-hwa.

'I can't admit it.'

Geombong. Also known as Mibong.

Although Namgung Hye humbly accepts the fact that she is competing for the title of the most beautiful woman in the world, she secretly believes that there are not many people in the world more beautiful than her.

It was a natural reaction, since I had never seen anyone in my life who was clearly prettier than me.

Today, Namgung Hye felt the pride she had in her beauty being shattered.

I don't know where the woman sitting next to Wi Yeon-ho came from, but she was, to put it bluntly, pretty.

It's so hard to believe that there is such a perfect beauty in the world.

I don't want to admit it.

I really hate to admit it, but if you look at it objectively… … No, objectively, shit, even if you just look at it, that woman was about three times as beautiful as Namgung Hye.

If she were a man, I would not trade her for that woman even if I were given three Namgung Hye.

Namgung Hye gently grabbed her thigh.

'How can someone like that exist?'

To Namgung Hye, who prided herself on being beautiful, the existence of that woman was a shock in itself. It was shocking that there was a person who seemed to have all the beauty in the world, and it was also shocking that the woman who was that beauty itself was sitting next to Wi Yeon-ho and riding in a car.

'Did you say your name was Jin Ye-ran?'

Namgung Hye had to put in a lot of effort to suppress the anger that was bursting out inside her.

A woman's beauty is a weapon.

A woman deserves to be treated well just because she is beautiful. But that beautiful woman, who seems to be worthy of living with all the men in the world at her feet and receiving their compliments, is driving that inhuman lazy bum's car.

'The world is going crazy.'

No matter how hard I tried to understand it, I couldn't figure it out. It was a ridiculous sight, like watching a well-written Peking opera.

furthermore…….

"……write."

When Wi Yeon-ho frowns after drinking tea, Jin Ye-ran accepts the tea again with a puzzled look on her face and tastes it.

“I think I got in the wrong car. Sorry.”

At that moment, Namgung Hye almost screamed.

He's not even a three-year-old, and he's complaining about the car!

Isn't tea originally supposed to have a bitter taste?

And even if you drink the tea completely wrong and it turns out to be poison rather than tea, if it's from Jin Ye-ran, there are many men in the world who would accept it and drink it like nectar from heaven.

What a shame to die in such luxury!

Namgung Hye trembled, unable to contain her anger.

"here."

There was someone pouring oil there.

Lee Seol-hwa put some candy into the mouth of Wi Yeon-ho, who was frowning arrogantly.

"omg……."

Namgung Hega opened his mouth without realizing it.

After receiving the candy, Wei Yanho's expression relaxed and he laid down with his head on the pillow, purring like a full cat.

At that moment, Lee Seol-hwa made a proud expression, and the beautiful Jin Ye-ran's eyebrows narrowed.

'Stop it.'

Don't do that.

That slacker between you two isn't a man worth fighting over, you guys!

Namgung Hye trembled.

It was a terrible thing.

From Namgung Hye's perspective, who would never be able to see things rationally even if it were just her and Wi Yeon-ho left alone, it was completely incomprehensible why those decent… no, not decent, those pretty women were acting like that with Wi Yeon-ho between them.

This is the world's misfortune, and the misfortune of all women.

“What are you looking at like that?”

Sanggwanhong spoke to her in a subtle way.

“Look at that.”

"where?"

“Look at the top of that carriage. Does that look like a situation that makes sense?”

“……The end of the world is over there.”

“That’s why.”

As Namgung Hye shook her head, Sanggwan Hong also frowned and looked at the scene.

“I just don’t understand how this could happen.”

“……Isn’t that just too naive?”

“Naive?”

Sanggwanhong whispered softly.

“Actually, before coming to Gangho this time, Miss Lee Seol-hwa only stayed in Hwasan.”

“Yes.”

“So she’s not immune to men. Of all the men she’s seen, there must have been only four disciples who were cultivating the Way.”

"ah……."

Namgung Hye nodded quietly. That could be possible.

“Now that I hear you, that could be a possibility. I think that person, Jin Ye-ran, could be like that too.”

When the word Jin Ye-ran came out, Sanggwan Hong looked at the top of the carriage with a face as if he had lost his soul.

“Where are you looking?”

“Oh, I’m sorry.”

Sanggwanhong blushed.

'Anyway, men.'

If it's pretty, I just like it.

Although she felt bad that she had been robbed of the attention she deserved until recently, Namgung Hye did not lose heart.

Jin Ye-ran may be more beautiful than her, but she has a background that Jin Ye-ran doesn't have. There aren't many men who would choose Jin Ye-ran, who is only pretty, over her, who is from the world's best Namgung family.

A man without ambition might be able to do that, but she was against such a man.

“I guess we need to talk about it.”

“What are you talking about?”

“As a woman myself, I can’t stand to watch them being swayed by such an absurd man. They’ll at least show their displeasure.”

While Namgung Hye was gnashing her teeth, there was someone who was gnashing his teeth even harder than her.

'Wei Yan Ho, Nainoooooom.'

Gong Mu-jin's heart was burning as he watched Wei Yan-ho munching on the sweets given to him by his disciple.

“Ugh.”

Even though he was doing such things so openly, Gong Mu-jin couldn’t bear to scold his disciple. He could clearly see Jin Ye-ran sitting across from Lee Seol-hwa.

I was wondering what was going on when I suddenly started looking for Yeonji or Bun, who I hadn't seen before…

'Don't give up, Seolhwa!'

Gong Mu-jin sent words of encouragement to Lee Seol-hwa in his heart.

Honestly, that woman named Jin Ye-ran is too pretty. I couldn't help but wonder if I would have a chance of winning if I competed with that woman.

'What am I thinking!'

Gong Mu-jin shook his head violently.

What's wrong with my disciple!

A woman is not all about her face. Jin Ye-ran is beautiful, but Lee Seol-hwa is also beautiful. And Lee Seol-hwa has a cuteness that Jin Ye-ran doesn't have.

You have to see it through to the end to find out!

“……But what on earth am I rooting for?”

If you win that fight, what awaits you is Wei Yanhu.

I won a life-threatening fight against a formidable enemy, but was rewarded with nothing more than filth.

But that doesn't mean I can expect my disciple to lose.

“Ugh.”

In a situation where he couldn't do anything, Gongmujin grabbed his head.

'Nothing's been going well since I met that guy.'

Didn't his good disciple steal his money and get cursed at by Jo Hyeon out of the blue?

If you look closely, it seems that no one here has benefited from meeting Wi Yeon-ho. Everyone has suffered damages, big or small. If you look at it objectively, it is to the point where you can suspect that he is really a god of disaster who brings misfortune.

And Gongmujin could see another person who was in misfortune because of Wi Yeonho.

“Huh? What is it?”

In the distance, on the road, something like a black dot was approaching them. The dot seemed to grow larger and larger, and soon took the shape of a human being.

"huh?"

Gong Mu-jin frowned as he saw the man running towards them like crazy.

His originally handsome appearance was dirty with dirt and was hard to look at, and it was really pitiful to see him constantly gasping for breath… … He was definitely a warrior.

The large shape of a sword drawn on his uniform told us where he belonged.

“Yeah, I survived!”

The young man who had discovered the group collapsed in front of them. Seokmuncho, who was running in the lead, frowned at the man.

“Aren’t you a traitor?”

Peng Do-geuk nodded absentmindedly.
