Cheonma wants to live quietly - Chapter 103

Translator: NovelMultiverse | Editor: NovelMultiverse

Byeok Tae-san handed the martial arts book suitable for Cheon Chushinui and Ilchimkai respectively and then went out of the golden house. This was because it wasn’t just the people in the place who needed to take care of it. 

Once he went out, he passed the pre-prepared secret to Yuk Tae-goo and Jang Gak-woo. They were so moved and respected by how much they were so moved that he couldn’t understand what they were saying later. 

Anyway, after getting there, Byeok Tae-san walked around Wuhan at a more leisurely pace.

No one had been brought out on purpose today. For once, he just wanted to be alone. When he had some free time, he looked around, and when he did that, he saw things that he had never seen before. 

There were seats everywhere. They sold sweets, roasted skewers, and sold jewelry and clothing. Byeok Tae-san passed by carefully, examining them one by one. 

‘Have I never had this kind of experience?’ 

Byeok Tae-san suddenly thought of that. This was because it was very unfamiliar for him to be doing this right now. The days of Thousand Mai had been fiercely lived. And after the fierceness ended, he had even deemed to go out for a while.

It was because he wanted to enjoy the leisurely feeling that came at the end of the fierce battle. However, the devil couldn’t do that. No matter where he went, there was no time to look around with such a relaxed gaze. 

He had always been more aware of what was going on behind the scenes than on the outside. It was like a habit that he had acquired through hard work. 

The outing, which continued for a while, ended because of the craftiness of the Moorim forces. 

At that time, Moorimmaeng, Heukryeon, and the five generations were fiercely attacked several times. At that time, the fight was finally over. And after that, he hung on the honma ball. 

The spiritual power obtained through the last battle was the problem. This was because the scale of the fight was large, the amount of spiritual power gained in the process was enormous. 

At the time, he had taken it for granted. He had no hesitation because he had to use it again in the fight. And from then on, the ghost magician left the hand of the angel. What all the heavenly demons had to go through began from then on. 

Tae-san hung on to the end of the ghost magic, but he still couldn’t find an answer. The answer came at the same time as death. 

‘If I hadn’t gone through that process, I probably wouldn’t have been able to find the answer.’

Anyway, having gone through such a life, it was impossible to look around so leisurely. It was his first time experiencing this, and while it was a sight and experience that would be nothing to others, it proved to be very intense for Byeok Tae-san.

‘It’s overflowing very quickly.’ 

The vitality was dancing all over the place. The vitality that came out of life was itself a spiritual force. 

Those would be buried in the soul. In the past, he didn’t even have to pay attention to this sort of thing. 

It was because he just burned all the souls whole and sucked them in. But not now. Now, only the dirt on the soul had been burned and sucked in. 

And so, he was more interested. He had only completely healed his body, but the world he saw by Byeok Tae-san changed. 

At this, Tae-san continued to walk, observing how clean and dirty things were splattered on the souls of people. He felt better than when he first left the room. 

The place where Tae-san’s footsteps stopped was in front of Baekhwaru. As he wandered around, he seemingly reached here. He didn’t come here to come to Baekhwaru, he wasn’t even aware. 

However, Byeok Tae-san thought that even that would have meaning. Above all, he was not feeling very well right now. 

Byeok Tae-san then strode into Baekhwaru Pavilion. It wasn’t even before the business started, but when he went inside, a line of courtesans greeted him politely. 

He knew in advance that Byeok Tae-san was moving this way, and so he prepared it. And among the courtesans, Ru Baekhwa lightly approached and bowed deeply. 

“I am very happy that Confucius has come to visit us like this.” 

At that, Byeok Tae-san nodded. Come to think of it, since Ru Baekhwa had been visiting him for some time, he had never once come here. 

“It’s been a long time.” 

“I will prepare a table for drinks. How many children will prepare? If you wish, everyone here will serve Confucius.” 

Ru Baekhwa said this as he spoke with a twinkle in his eyes. “I am ready to serve Confucius at any time, so just tell me.” 

“Just talk for a moment. I plan to spend today quietly and leisurely.” 

“I will.” 

Ru Baekhwa answered politely and then gave instructions quickly. In addition to this, he directly led Byeok Tae-san to the top floor, which turned out to be Lu-Zhu’s office and Hao Mun-Ju’s office. 

Byeok Tae-san followed Ru Baekhwa and glanced around the courtesans. He could see the flow of spiritual power going back and forth between the prostitutes. 

‘This is fun.’ 

Another part of his brain was tickled. It was the discovery of the beginning of a new enlightenment. Perhaps, when it matured properly, it could move on to the next level. 

Byeok Tae-san, who entered the office, sat down naturally at the top. Ru Baekhwa fell down in front of him and bowed.

At this, Tae-san waited for Ru Baekhwa to speak first. 

“The investigation that you mentioned before has progressed to the point of being painted. This is what we have been investigating so far.” 

Ru Baekhwa politely held out a bundle of papers, as if offering it with both hands. 

Byeok Tae-san received it and checked it roughly. First of all, the contents of the investigation so far were focused on Mi-ryung and her son Byeok Je-hyuk as the wife of Byeok Tae-soo. They were mainly robbing the top people who were closely related to the two people. 

Most of the investigation into that part had been completed, and now the rest of the people are being investigated. Naturally, there were a lot of other people who did a lot of research.

Byeok Tae-san’s eyes gleamed for a moment as he looked carefully at it. “Are there many people who go to Hyanghwaru?” 

It wasn’t just the people from Chae Mi-ryung’s side who went to Hyanghwaru. Most of the people who held important positions at the golden house were like that. 

“Yes. But when I go to Hyanghwaru, I just have fun. We didn’t give or take orders or trade anything. Of course, there was no engagement.” This meant that Hao Mun’s eyes and ears were in contact with Hyanghwaru. If you didn’t dig deep inside, you wouldn’t be able to check this information. Hyanghwaru was also an information organization. 

However, seeing that he was extracting information through the defenses of such a place, Hao Mun’s ability was quite good. Of course, this was only because of the shadow. 

“There is nothing particularly suspicious about his usual conduct.” 

“By the way, isn’t Hyanghwaru the highest level in Wuhan?” 

“You’re right.” 

“Does it cost too much money to go there so often?” Byeok Tae-san looked at Ru Baekhwa.

 If one were to look at the list of people who frequented Hyanghwaru, they were definitely those who had established themselves at the top of the golden house. 

However, no matter how much they did, unless they had a proper money chain like Byeok Tae0san, they couldn’t go in and out of the top-notch giru like Hyanghwaru every day. 

“The money above is being used little by little. But that’s something that has been tacitly accepted for a long time. Everyone does that.”[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]

“You’re going to leave me with so much money that I can go there every day?” 

“They don’t have a lot of useful money. However, Hyanghwaru is just taking care of it so that you can enjoy it enough even if you only receive the money.” 

“Why are they?” 

Ru Baekhwa bowed his head slightly with a very embarrassed but apologetic expression. “We haven’t investigated that far yet.” 

Since the investigation period was not yet very long, it was natural that we could not find out until that point. Besides, there was no way that they were going to openly say they were working on a plan like this. 

Byeok Tae-san looked down at Ru Baekhwa silently. “Are you still guessing?” 

“Bad guesses sometimes obscure accurate information.” Tae-san eventually nodded at Ru Baekhwa’s resolute words.

“Tell me, it’s not like that.” 

After hesitating for a while, Ru Baekhwa opened his mouth slowly. “It seems like it is not being dyed.” 

“Is it dyed?” 

“I guessed it to be tinged with pleasure and lust, making them easy to control. It would be better to identify some corruptions in the process, and maybe they could have created a separate ledger and actually recorded the money they had to pay.” 

Byeok Tae-san nodded. This was all a reasonable guess. In particular, he was most interested in making a separate ledger and recording the money they had to spend. 

That would then become a debt. They would argue that they were just being treated, but if they said that it was not Hyanghwaru, that would be enough. That would be a credit account.

 “Recently, I went a little deeper into Hyanghwaru. If there are some unusual ones, we will be able to obtain them sooner or later.” 

There was certainty in the tone of Ru Baekhwa. 

“For now, we are concentrating on the ledger. The ledger alone is not enough to use it, so I expect there will be something that has no choice but to acknowledge it.” 

For example, a handwritten record acknowledging the contents of a ledger, or a handwriting. 

Byeok Tae-san looked down at Ru Baekhwa, who slowly raised his head, and his eyes met with Byeok Tae-san. She felt a little strange. For some reason, Byeok Tae-san had a slightly different feel than usual. Would you say something softer? 

“Hyanghwaru is the tail they left in Infinity… Is there anything dangerous?”

Ru Baekhwa answered with a firm expression. “We are strengthening our power through Amyeongbo. I can stand it.” 

However, he knew Ru Baekhwa and Byeok Tae-san as well. Hao Mun’s power was information, not force. And so, when one needed direct force, one would become very helpless. 

Although Amyeongbo filled that up to a certain extent, he couldn’t deal with really talented people. A slightly bitter look passed through the eyes of Ru Baekhwa, who suddenly had such a thought. 

And, at that moment, a book fell in front of her. Ru Baekhwa looked at her booklet and the Tae-san alternately with startled eyes. 

“What… I will do just what I can.” After those words, Byeok Tae-san got up from his seat. Ru Baekhwa couldn’t even check what the book was about her, so he hurriedly grabbed it and got up. 

“Are you just going? Children…” 

At this, Byeok Tae-san rushed out of the office. He said, “It was. Ah, find out a little about the guy who has a proper name or what it is.” 

Ru Baekhwa immediately bowed. “I’m going to start the investigation right away.”

Byeok Tae-san nodded once and walked away. Ru Baekhwa hurriedly followed, but the image of Tae-san was no longer visible.

“Somehow… I feel like I’m better than I used to be.” Ru Baekhwa mumbled that with a blank expression. He suddenly remembered the booklet of Tae-san on the wall earlier and took it out of her arms. 

There was nothing on the cover. However, when he turned one page, the identity of the book was written. 

“The name test?” Ru Baekhwa tilted his head. 

Byeok Tae-san said that it was worthwhile, so it must have been an excellent martial art book. However, the name was very strange. Ru Baekhwa turned his bookshelf and carefully scanned his contents. 

In addition to this, he was sucked into it in an instant. After reading the secret, Ru Baekhwa’s face was burning with excitement. 

This was truly a martial art for Hao Mun. It was not just a simple swordsmanship, it was a martial art that encompassed even the heartbeat. 

It wasn’t a weapon for a head-to-head confrontation. No, even in a head-to-head confrontation, it exerted a powerful force, but it was a much more effective martial arts attack than that. 

He hadn’t checked it thoroughly yet, but this sword method seemed to fit really well with Amyeongbo. It was almost as if someone had made up a sword method as if they were looking at the umyeongbo and putting it together. 

Ru Baekhwa was looking forward to seeing how much power this swordsmanship would bring out when it was combined with Amyeongbo, and his heart was already pounding. 

“Oh, this is not the time.” Ru Baekhwa carefully put the kiwi in her arms and headed for the bookshelf near her.

We must carry out the instructions given by Byeok Tae-san today. He wanted to get results as quickly as possible. Ru Baekhwa’s hand rummaging through the bookshelves became faster and more urgent. 

* * * 

Byeok Tae-san wandered around Wuhan even after coming out of Ru Baekhwa. She saw the people, the buildings, and the energy and vitality that flowed through them. As if on a cruise, he looked around and headed back to the gold closet as the sunset on the western mountain. 

When Byeok Tae-san arrived at the Geumbyokjang, he saw a group of people gathering near the main gate. It was a woman and seven men, and it seemed as if they had just arrived at the golden closet. 

It looked like they had put a message inside the front door and waited, but as Tae-san approached, everyone looked at them with mixed expressions of vigilance and curiosity. 

Of the seven men, two were quite old, three appeared to be between thirty and forty, and the other two appeared to be in their early twenties. 

In addition to this, the woman was young and beautiful. Even compared to Danyoung, she was so beautiful that there was nothing lacking. 

After one night with Byeok Tae-san, she had steadily grown beautiful and was now similar to Danyoung, who now possessed a dazzling beauty. She would probably attract people’s attention wherever she goes. 

It was clear that she too was aware of her own beauty herself. 

One could tell by looking at the face or eyes.

As Byeok Tae-san approached, the seven men became more vigilant. It must have been that he had experienced a lot of approaching men like this. 

However, the woman was being both quiet and arrogant. As Byeok Tae-san got closer and closer, everyone’s eyes were filled with the emotion that it was. 

Byeok Tae-san stopped in front of them, looked around and said, “Are you out of it?” 

Everyone stared blankly at him.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]
