Cheonma wants to live quietly - Chapter 12

Translator: Darling | Editor: Nebosuke

Taesan and Yoo sat across the table.

Yoo looked at the maid who brought some snacks and frowned.

That maid must be the lady who was spreading the rumor.

She was really pretty although she didn’t dress up.

‘Although she isn’t as great as my lady.’

Yoo thought that and looked straight at Taesan.

“Are we that close to exchange words?” Taesan asked because he really didn’t know but Yoo thought he was asking, “Are we at the same level to make a conversation?”

“Can’t we do so?”

Taesan moved his head.

“No way.”

That was enough for a conversation. It seemed that the relationship with Yoo wasn’t that great.

“So, why are you visiting me?”

As Taesan asked the question, Yoo looked at him.

Taesan lifting up his chin made him seem a bit cocky and full of confidence.

One thing that was certain was that Taesan from the past didn’t do that.

“Too harsh.”

Taesan laughed as Yoo said it all of sudden.

“You are lucky.”

Yoo gave a confusing face. Lucky. Why was he saying that?

However, in Taesan’s perspective, someone who dared to talk to him when he was a Cheonma would be dead with an exploded head.

In Cheonma’s belief, Cheonma’s words are the law. Also, Cheonma’s behavior is justified.

Cheonma’s belief is where everyone says it’s too harsh.

“Well, things should change. Right, tell me what’s harsh. You need to think well before you say it.”

Taesan’s eyes moved as he spoke.

At that moment, Yoo felt intimidated. That’s why she was confused.

‘It feels like… meeting Harin’s father.’

When encountering Harin’s father, Yoo felt scared. But, strictly speaking, it felt different right now.

Yoo’s vision unconsciously moved to Gyeongwan who was standing behind Taesan.

Perhaps she thought the pressure she was feeling was due to Gyeongwan.

Gyeongwan looked calmly at Yoo.

Yoo didn’t avoid eye contact and looked straight at Gyeongwan.

‘No.’

It was possible to sense that Gyeongwan’s force is strong.

Looking at Gyeongwan entering the guest room, it was confirmed that his skills were upgraded.

That was why it was surprising.

Honestly, she thought she would be faster.

Anyway, Gyeongwan just stood there while not doing anything.

Yoo changed her viewpoint and turned back to Taesan.

“Do I need to wait longer?”

As Taesan had asked, Yoo moved her head and shared her thoughts.

“No, I’m sorry.”

Yoo calmed herself and began to speak.

“Recently, there was a marriage proposal for the lady.”

“Well.. she deserves it.”

Considering Harin’s beauty, there must be many men who want to marry her.

Also, a few words were exchanged with her, and she seemed to have a decent personality. No, it was quite good.

She seemed to be brave.

“The lady said… please trust her even if anything happens.”

“So she wants to break the engagement?”

As Taesan spoke calmly, Yoo became angry.

“Not yet. She strongly opposes it. But…..”

Yoo sighed and continued to speak.

“Well. So why am I harsh?”

Yoo hesitated but didn’t speak.

Harin was working so hard but it was unsatisfying to see Taesan going to the brothel every night.

Still, she couldn’t say such a thing.

Honestly, Yoo did understand how Taesan felt.

“I will stay with you for a while.”

Taesan frowned.

“Isn’t it a bit weird for saying I’m harsh?”

Yoo continued pretending like she didn’t hear Taesan’s comment.

“The lady told me to protect you.”

Taesan laughed.

“You are protecting me?”

‘I’m not sure why there are so many brats who want to protect me.’

Yoo calmly continued despite Taesan’s reaction, “I know Gyeongwan has great skills. However, the opponent is hard to deal with.”

Taesan looked at Yoo as if he was wondering about what was going on.

“The house that wanted to marry Harin is Jong.”

“The Jong family?”

Taesan moved his head. As he recalled his memory, he managed to pick it up.

“Ah, the Jong family.”

Taesan’s lip moved upwards.

While Taesan was raiding the Murim, he encountered them.

There was a time where five-strong groups and ten other martial clans challenged him at once.

They made a trap and that was the time when Cheonma and his royal guards were separated to encounter all of them.

They were really stubborn.

They were consistent regardless of being dead so Cheonma lost half of his royal guards.

However, Cheonma was there.

It was impossible to kill Cheonma with such numbers.

Most of the ones who were in the battle died but some managed to survive and escape.

As the battle was going towards a losing streak, they backed off.

That was the Jong family.

“So, you think they will try to hurt me?”

“Yes, the Jong family is…………..”

Taesan answered Yoo’s comment.

“Dirty.”

Yoo became surprised and looked Taesan while lifting her head up. Her eyes moved toward Gyeongwan and moved away.

He shouldn’t make such a statement.

That was the comment that the Jong family hated the most.

“So, do you have enough power to defend it if the Jong family plans something evil?”

Yoo put her head down.

“I just put my best into it.”

“Well… if you want.”

After permission was granted, Yoo stood up.

“I will ask Soso for my place to stay.”

“As you wish.”

Yoo bowed and went outside, then Taesan looked at Gyeongwan.

“Don’t do stupid things while you are working. If you want to do it, do it now.”

That comment freaked Gyeongwan out.

“I won’t do anything. Anyway… we are not in such a relationship.”

Taesan laughed.

“What a loser.”

Gyeongwan’s face blushed. Yet, he put his head down.

He was a loser in front of Yoo.

“You can train here.”

Gyeongwan’s comment made Yoo look around.

“It’s a good place.”

“It’s the Golden Wall Clan.”

It was a tourney hall located in Taesan’s residence.

Since Taesan didn’t use it, it was just wasted but since Gyeongwan moved here, it was being used as a personal tourney hall.

So far, Gyeongwan used it alone but it was too big to use by himself.

When doing core training, the other person would move out but for general training, it was big enough to share.

Actually, it was big enough to be used by ten people.

Yoo just looked at Gyeongwan.

“Congratulations.”

“Sorry?”

The random congratulations made Gyeongwan surprised and he looked at her.

“I’m a step behind. I will catch up so don’t slack off.”

The two people were at a similar level.

That was until Gyeongwan met Taesan.

Actually, Yoo being at a similar level as Gyeongwan was extraordinary.

“You must have trained hard.”

Yoo’s comment made Gyeongwan laugh bitterly.

“If you can become successful by working hard, the world will be full of masters.”

Yoo looked at Gyeongwan with jealousy.

It meant that one did not grow through training.

‘What is it? Did he eat any special medicine from the Golden Wall Clan?’

There was a limit from consuming the special medication, especially for the medication which one could purchase.

Most of the clans and groups did not give out the medicine located inhouse.

That was why the medicine which the Golden Wall Clan could get was mediocre.

Gyeongwan looked at Yoo after thinking for a while.

“Do you believe there is a genius?”

“Sure. Doesn’t each group or clan have one?”

Also, Yoo was told that she was a genius while growing up. It must be the same for Gyeongwan.

However, Gyeongwan moved his head.

“I’m talking about real geniuses, not ordinary geniuses. The type of genius that breaks a solid wall which hasn’t been broken for decades by sharing a word.”

Yoo couldn’t reply. It was hard to believe. As he spoke, he must have encountered such a genius.

Perhaps, he was misunderstanding the other person as a genius.

“It’s hard to believe. Breaking a wall with a word.”

Yoo laughed and looked at Gyeongwan.

“If there is such a person, I would like to hear a comment.”

Gyeongwan looked at Yoo’s smile as if he were attracted. Then, he woke himself up.

Yoo looked at Gyeongwan with a mysterious look.

Gyeongwan was hesitating to say be nice to Taesan. However, he decided not to.

“There isn’t much time, so I will begin training.”

Yoo nodded to Gyeongwan’s words.

“I will train as well. Can I join you?”

“Sure.”

“However, you said you got no time…. Does it mean you are going to the brothel tonight as well?”

Gyeongwan responded with no emotions.

“I think so.”

Gyeongwan stepped back after leaving Yoo’s unsatisfied face.

Then, he distanced himself and then took out his sword.

It didn’t matter if Yoo was watching. It was training to pour out all of his endurance and strength.

It didn’t matter if he had to escort Taesan. He would faint way before.

He put everything out and once he takes a nap, there will be a sunset.

Taesan looked at Gyeongwan and Yoo who were standing in front of him.

“Will you two join me?”

Such a question made Gyeongwan look at Yoo.

“Yoo doesn’t need to join…..”

“You are going outside and you want me to stay here? It seems like no one needs to protect you inside here. Do you want me to become lame?”

It was not really a completely false statement.

Also, Taesan didn’t care if there was a man or a woman around him.

“Well, if you want.”

Taesan took a leading step.

Gyeongwan and Yoo followed Taesan.

They walked quietly for a while and Yoo quietly asked Gyeongwan, “Are you okay?”

“Of course.”

Yoo’s vision was showing problems.

Anyone who saw Gyeongwan’s training would have the same reaction.

Gyeongwan’s training was very intense.

He poured out everything and the body must be exhausted, although he slept for 30 minutes.

“Are you sure?”

“Yes.”

He had been training for 15 days like that.

Also, there was an effect.

It seemed like he poured out everything but it wasn’t like that.

His eyes moved to Taesan who was walking in front of him.

That day when Gyeongwan poured out everything for the first time, Gyeongwan heard a few comments from Taesan.

Also, those comments were genuine.

It was a method to recover a fatigued body.

Afterward, he was able to train himself by pouring everything out of his body.

After fifteen days, Gyeongwan broke the wall which Taesan was talking about and surpassed his level.

“I can’t believe it. Gyeongwan you must be a genius.”

“Not at all.”

“No, I think you are….”

Yoo couldn’t continue to speak because Taesan stopped all of sudden.

Taesan slowly turned around and looked at the two people.

That was enough oppression.

Two people kept their mouths shut and followed Taesan.
