Taejonbirok Volume 6 Episode 7

Chapter 39: The Lazy Man, Reunited (2)

Sanggwan Hong is the eldest son of the Sanggwan Se family and currently serves as the head of the Sanggwan Se family.

Just because he was the head of a world-renowned family, most people would not dare to ignore him, but Sanggwan Hong was by no means a novice who relied on his family's prestige to get things done.

He was more famous by his nickname, Geomryong, the first and last rank of the Jamryongmu-gwan, than by his nickname, Sanggwanhong, the head of the Sanggwanse family.

To elaborate a bit, Sanggwan Hong could be said to be the most promising index player at the moment.

But no matter how much of an official he was, he couldn't help but show respect to the middle-aged man standing before him.

'Plum Blossom Sword Ghost Gong Mu-jin.'

A swordsman representing the volcano, known as the darling of swords.

Among the numerous plum blossom inspectors, he is said to have unrivaled skills.

Even though Sanggwan Hong had the best skills among the later indexes, he was nothing more than a firefly in front of the full moon in front of the name of Plum Blossom Sword Ghost Gong Mujin.

“I feel very lucky to have met you, senior, on such a remote road.”

“Haha, it’s fun for me to meet a promising junior. It’s one more joy to my journey.”

Even as they exchanged pleasantries, Sanggwanhong's eyes were fixed on the carriage.

A carriage driven by a beautiful woman without a concubine.

On that ceiling, the plum blossom swordsman Gong Mu-jin is sitting. Then, who on earth would be riding in the carriage?

'Are you riding a volcano long pole?'

That's not possible.

The Volcano was a sect of unmanned people. Even if he was a long-sect member, he would not have been able to travel comfortably by carriage. However, common sense would tell him that someone suitable for him had to be riding in it.

'He is not old.'

If the other party had been higher in rank or older than Gong Mu-jin, Gong Mu-jin would not have committed the rudeness of riding on the roof of the carriage. In that case, he should have been seen as someone of a higher status than Gong Mu-jin, but similar to or younger than Gong Mu-jin.

How many people in today's world can meet these conditions?

“Aren’t you going to introduce me to the friends behind you?”

Sanggwan Hong felt a sudden sense of regret and lowered his head.

'This is an example.'

It was an unchanging fact that no matter who was riding inside, they were people that the public servants could not treat lightly. However, it was impolite to look elsewhere.

“Excuse me. These guys are members of the Jamryongmu-gwan along with me.”

“This is Kwon Ryong.”

“It’s Do-Ryong.”

After that, women called Geombong and Mubong greeted me.

“Haha, Seolhwa, Seolhwa!”

“Yes, Master.”

“Come here. If you see someone your age, it’s good to say hello and interact with them.”

"yes."

Lee Seol-hwa got down from the horse carriage and ran towards me.

“This child is called Lee Seol-hwa. She is my disciple.”

The sword dragon caught my eye.

Plum Blossom Sword Demon Gong Mu-jin was known for being a very arrogant person. As expected, his disciples were all known to be the best in the world.

'Then this young lady will also be investigated.'

Although she was very pretty… … and adorable, she was a disciple of the plum blossom swordsman Gong Mu-jin, so contrary to her appearance, she had incredible skills.

It's very cute though.

“It’s nice to meet you. My name is Sword Dragon Sanggwan Hong.”

"nice to meet you."

The sword dragon's eyebrows twitched.

Although he said he was happy to see her, Lee Seol-hwa did not look happy at all. On the contrary, her expression clearly showed that she wanted to get out of this place quickly.

That fact hurt Sanggwan Hong's pride.

'This is the first time I've seen a reaction like this since Mubong.'

Among the two men standing behind him now, Mu-bong was famous for not being interested in anything other than martial arts. Furthermore, Mu-bong was too young to know men.

But aside from that bong, it wouldn't be a lie to say that no woman had ever looked at him in this way before. His looks, his background, and his skills.

Isn't Sanggwan Hong the person who has no shortcomings?

“I believe that it is not easy to have the fortune to meet the disciple of the world-renowned Gongmujin Daehyeop. If you are willing, would you please give me the opportunity to examine the Hwasan Sword?”

I politely applied for a job.

'You don't seem to know much about me.'

Even though the volcano has a very secular nature, in the case of the Daemunpa, because they are buried deep in the mountains, they often lack realistic awareness.

If so, he needed to properly demonstrate his skills.

“It’s good to have a competition, but I’ve been through some hardships and my physical condition isn’t perfect right now, so let’s postpone that until next time.”

Lee Seol-hwa neatly cut off Sanggwan Hong's request for a military service.

“What happened?”

“I met Madou.”

“Oh my! That was a close call. So what happened to that head?”

Lee Seol-hwa looked back quietly without answering.

“……Hmm?”

Sanggwanhong's gaze followed Seolhwa Lee's gaze. When he looked at the place Seolhwa Lee's gaze landed on…

“…….”

What is that?

Is that a person?

Sanggwanhong's body trembled. He saw a person with a head that was twice as swollen as its original size and resembled a steamed bun.

'How can a person end up like that?'

It's unlikely that someone would end up like that if they were beaten enough. What's even more surprising is that the person was beaten to that extent and still alive.

How technically can you still hold your breath in that state?

“……What crime did I commit?”

When Lee Seol-hwa hesitated to answer, Gong Mu-jin answered on her behalf. After all, it was an embarrassing crime for a woman to talk about.

“You’re a pervert.”

"okay."

Sanggwanhong nodded. If he was a pervert, he deserved to be treated like that.

“Then you are currently sending that pervert to the Jeongmu Alliance.”

“Well, let’s say that’s the case.”

The official did not provide further details.

“It’s nice to meet you on this road, but I don’t think it’s a good place to talk. Didn’t you say you were looking for a nearby village?”

“Yes.”

“Well, I’m not very good at this either.”

When Gong Mu-jin looked at her with a troubled expression, Seo Moon-da-yeon nodded and answered in her stead.

“If you go straight along the road, you will come across a village and an inn within a hundred li. You have not taken the wrong road, so just keep going.”

"thank you."

Sanggwanhong bowed deeply to Seomundayeon.

"ha ha ha."

The officials felt good.

Isn't it such a pleasure to meet a person who knows manners and respects his elders? In a way, this is natural, but after spending so much time with someone who is not very common sense, I started to like Sanggwanhong just because of this kind of natural behavior.

“If you weren’t busy, I would like to go with you and chat about this and that, but since you’re going to Nasan, it seems like it would be difficult to go with you. It’s a shame.”

“I also have a lot of desire to ask for advice from you, senior.”

Sanggwan Hong smacked his lips with a truly regretful expression.

This was not pretense.

It is not easy to meet a swordsman like Plum Blossom Swordsman Gong Mujin. And it is even more difficult to gain favor with a swordsman of that level.

However, the Gongmujin, who was known for being prickly, was now showing him a clear favor. It was too bad for an inspector to miss this opportunity.

“Hmm, I see.”

Gong Mu-jin turned his head and looked at the sky, then spoke to Seo Moon-da-yeon.

“Is there a guest house in this area?”

“Yes, sir. If you go forward, there is an inn about thirty li away. I was planning to stay there today anyway.”

“Hmm, what do you think? The road to Nasan is a bit steep, but the sun will set soon. Would you like to stay at the same inn as us today, even if it means taking a detour?”

Sanggwanhong turned around with a smile on his face. His colleagues were all nodding their heads as well. It seemed like they also did not want to cut off their relationship with the plum blossom sword spirit Gong Mujin.

“Since His Majesty the Great invited us, how could we, as his juniors, refuse?”

“Hahaha, would you do that?”

Gong Mu-jin smiled as if he was genuinely happy. But his eyes were still glancing at Lee Seol-hwa.

'It's an opportunity.'

The public officials had another plan.

Although he felt good about meeting his polite juniors after such a long time, Gong Mu-jin was not a generous person to the point of volunteering to accompany them.

Nevertheless, the reason he insisted on going with them was to show Lee Seol-hwa what a proper human being is.

If it's Samryongibong, they are the most outstanding people of Lee Seolhwa's age in the martial arts world. If Lee Seolhwa were to spend even one day with them, her eyes would open.

'I will never give you my disciple.'

Where would you give a disciple to a person like that?

Just imagining Lee Seol-hwa marrying Wi Yeon-ho and bringing home a child made me feel like my internal organs were turning upside down.

The officials clenched their teeth.

“……Senior?”

“Hmm? No, that’s not it! Let’s get going.”

The official smiled, sorted out the situation, and started the carriage.

As the carriage set off, Gongmujin climbed back onto the carriage, and Samryongibong walked beside it. Seomun Da-yeon adjusted the carriage’s speed to match their pace and opened her mouth.

“How are you, Master Jin?”

“You are still so upright. You even find pleasure in harassing practitioners.”

“You’re still the same. But Master Jin still cherishes talented people. When you reach the level of Samryongibong, you’ll probably be favored by Master Jin, don’t you think?”

Sanggwanhong shook his head.

“Unfortunately, that’s not the case at all. I often hear that we are lacking compared to the previous riders. We need to work harder.”

“Aren’t you upset?”

“I should be upset, but it’s true.”

Seomun Da-yeon smiled softly. It seemed like she also knew the agony that Sanggwan Hong was going through.

“Don’t feel wronged. We, who were in the same class, also heard the same thing from time to time.”

“I think so.”

“If we have to blame someone, it’s not Jin No-sa, but that person. He’s too much for a later index.”

Sanggwan Hong nodded.

It was his misfortune that the person who was considered the best graduate of Jamryongmugwan in history was the one who came right before him. And since it was Sang-Kwan-Hong, who was considered the best of the current Jamryongmugwan, he inevitably had to be compared to him.

The spine of the …

The shadow he left behind in Jamryongmu-gwan was just as dark.

Of all the students produced by Jamryongmugwan so far, Wisanho may not be the best, but if we compare only their graduation grades, there is no doubt that he is the best of all time.

“I think it’s a comparison I deserve. And…….”

Sanggwanhong's eyes lit up.

“I admit that I am inferior to them now, but I will definitely surpass them.”

“Foot.”

At that moment, a soft laughter came out from inside the carriage.
