Cheonma wants to live quietly - Chapter 41

Translator: NovelMultiverse | Editor: NovelMultiverse

I didn’t know what it meant 

The Yeon household was crowded after a long time.

Several famous martial arts households from Hubei had visited the Yeon household.

The purpose was obvious.

Rumors about Yeon Ha-rin have spread a lot recently.

One of the reasons why Yeon Ha-rin became famous was because the Zhong Li martial arts household was ruined while trying to mess with Yeon Ha-rin.

It wasn’t because of the Yeon household that caused the fall of the Zhong Li household, but for another reason, but rumors were formed regardless that she was beautiful enough to destroy a family.

Yeon Ha-rin had become much more beautiful than when Zhong Li-Woong flirted with her. Even now, her beauty was blooming more from day to day.

So, the person who saw her once was anxious to win her heart somehow.

In the meantime, a meeting was held at the Hubei Martial arts Union.

Everyone came to the Yeon household saying that as an excuse.

When they went to Ho mu-ryun where the meeting was held, they all wanted to accompany Yeon Ha-rin.

Of course, children of the family whose names were not famous enough could not be included at all. Currently, the families gathered in the Yeon household were the Seomun household, the Gu Yang household, and the Chu household.

All three were famous households in Hubei, but all of them sent their third sons.

“I’m thinking about leaving tomorrow, what do you think?”

Seomun Jae hak asked Yeon Ha-rin with a subtle smile.

Gu Yang su and Chu Young hak, who were together, looked at Seomun Jae hak with slightly unpleasant eyes.

Among them, Seomun Jae hak was the most outstanding in appearance. So, the other two had some type of jealousy.

Every time Seomun Jae hak spoke to Yeon Ha-rin, they felt bad.

Even just now. Why would he say something so obvious? The schedule is already all set. Yeon Ha Rin already knew all of them are leaving tomorrow too.

“The departure was tomorrow right? It is quite a long way to Uichang, where Homu-ryun is located, so I was hoping I could get some rest early today.”

Yeon Ha-rin’s speech and expression were cold.

She consistently showed only cold appearances when meeting with them.

It was completely different from when she was dealing with Byeoktaesan.

If someone else did this, they would have been cursed for being rude, but even the rudeness fit Yeon ha-rin very well.

Contrary to her intentions, the expressions and eyes of the three men would slightly loosen.

They wanted to be cool, but that was not possible.

Seomun Jae hak was embarrassed by Yeon Ha-rin. He felt like he didn’t even get any points because he had said something useless.

“Uh… but it’s too early now. No? The sun hasn’t even set yet, so why don’t we go out and have dinner and maybe a light drink?”

Yeon Ha-rin’s attitude was still the same.

“I don’t really like alcohol. Sorry. I’m tired, so I think I need to get some rest.”

Because of the words from Yeon Ha-rin, Seomun Jae hak had nothing more to say.

‘I definitely heard she liked alcohol very much…..’

It wasn’t something he heard from other people, it was the words he heard from the servants of Yeon household.

Of course, he wasn’t sure because he didn’t see it for himself.

“Okay. Then go in today and relax. If you change your mind later, please come and visit us anytime.”

Yeon Ha-rin bowed her head slightly and left.

The three men stared blankly at Yeon Ha rin’s back. Until she couldn’t be seen.

“It’s difficult, it’s difficult. What kind of iron wall is so hard…”

Chu Young Hak shook his head and muttered. Still, he didn’t feel too bad. Thanks to that, Seomun Jae Hak got shut down a little.

In the meantime, when he thought of all the women who had been stolen by Seomun Jae hak, he had a feeling of excitement.

Of course, that didn’t mean he gave up.

“Isn’t she like that because of her fiancé anyway?”

When Gu Yang-su said that, Seomun Jae hak shook his head.

“I heard they already canceled their marriage.”

“But she could still have some feelings leftover. Don’t you think?”

Seomun Jae Hak’s expression became cold.

“So what is it that you want to say?”

“I’m saying don’t rush in like a dog in heat, and try to read the atmosphere.”

“What did you say?”

“I mean, don’t blow up our chances by making the atmosphere cloudy. Even today, didn’t all this happened because of brother Seomun? Honestly, up until earlier, even if we couldn’t drink together, we could have had a meal. Don’t you think so?”

At the words of Gu Yang-su, Seomun Jae hak glared at him clenching his teeth.

These three families were in fierce competition with each other. Because of the title of Hubei’s strongest family.

So, they couldn’t be close to each other.

They just kept the line. No matter what happened, things did not get physical.

Also, if there was a family that rose up from below, the three would work together and nip it in the bud.

“Now, don’t we have better things to do than fight amongst ourselves? Truth be told, it’s not like she is the only woman in the world. So let’s go and have a drink.”

“Would it be okay to consider that as a declaration of resignment?

“What do you mean resigning. I meant to cool off our heads.”

The three went to drink in that atmosphere.

Curiously, they didn’t get into a fistfight. Even though the sharp words were constantly coming and going.

Anyway, there was still a lot of time.

It’s a long way from here to Uichang, and even when they arrived at Ho mu ryun, they’ll be able to stay together for a long time.

***

He did not know what it meant to bet his spirit.

If he knew, he would never have agreed to the bet. No, he would have bet anyway. He didn’t think of losing the bet.

But now he was filled with regret.

Il Chim Gui grabbed his head with a distressed expression.

“What a devil-like guy.”

To be stuck, but to be stuck so terribly.

“How can my life so be so harsh?”

Honestly, he had lived the way he wanted to do for several years. But it was a kind of reward psychology.

“No, has it been decently long?”

It’s been a long time since he gained the reputation of being called Il Chim Gui. Because there was no one who did not know the title in the world.

Until he got that fame, he really did go through all kinds of hardships.

He passed the risk of death countless times and was humiliated a lot.

But now, when he tried to enjoy life, it turned out like this.

“Oh, you were here?”

The Il Chim Gui was amazed at the sound he heard from behind. And slowly turned around.

“Uh…I, I was taking a break.”

The attitude of the Il Chim Gui was clearly different from before.

He had no choice. After going through that, everyone will be just like him.

It wasn’t a cowardly and lame excuse, it was real.

“Should we start soon again today?”

The blood went away from the face of the Il Chim Gui.

“Al, already? It seems that the time is still a little too early…”

“It’s okay. I’m going to be doing it for a while today.”

Il Chim Gui swallowed dry saliva. What did he mean by a while? How was he planning on doing it that he searched for him already?

“Let’s go inside.”

With a dying face, the Il Chim Gui went into the hall alongside Byeoktaesan with his head down.

And after a while, a scream burst out from inside the hall.

***

 What Byeoktaesan was doing to the Il Chim Gui was a kind of experiment and training.

He was in the middle of training in which he carefully pulled out the spirit and burned only the impurities within the existing spirit.

And when he burned it lightly on the surface, he thoroughly looked at what kind of change would happen.

First of all, the conclusions made through the attempts so far are that the mixed parts of the spirits must be burned only ever so slightly to avoid damaging the spirit.

However, if you do so, the pain of the one who had their spirit pulled will be more clearly imprinted in their memory.

When the spirit is pulled out completely, only the sense of dreaming remains. The less you pull out, the more real the person felt.

Byeoktaesan also knew it for sure this time.

Everything was thanks to the Il Chim Gui.

The Il Chim Gui had the perfect spirit for Byeoktaesan to practice with. The bet itself seemed to have a special effect.

When he first made the bet, he bet without thinking, but when he saw the results, he thought he was really good at doing it.

On the other hand, the Il Chim Gui, who was in the position to be subjected to it, felt like he was crazy.

He had no idea what exactly he was doing. Because he couldn’t remember.

However, he clearly remembered the pain that seemed to prick his body with a needle.

So he thought so. He thought he was putting needles all over his body.

However, when he checked his body, there was no trace at all.

He really went at it today as well.

However, he couldn’t figure out what happened and how, so he felt frustrated and crazy.

“I… sir, can I say something.”

Byeoktaesan looked at the l Chim Gui as if waiting to hear it. He felt good today because his performance was quite good.

It was because he thought he could heal his body sooner or later without having to go to the  Giru.

In fact, it wouldn’t have been better to go to Giru every day for Byeoktaesan.

It wasn’t just a day or two of going to the Giru. It wasn’t fun to go out and have a prostitute, since all he did was pull the spirit out as practice and left.

However, thanks to Il Chim Gui, he was able to find a way to avoid that.

“In fact, the reason I came here is that I have a schedule in Hubei.”

“Schedule?”

“I received an invitation from Ho Mu-ryun. I already gave permission to go.”

“Ho mu ryun?”

Suddenly, the word Yoo Seo-yeon said a while ago came to mind.

“Because of the meeting thing? The Il Chim Gui quickly nodded.

“That’s right. So I’d like to go there a little…”

That was nothing difficult. But for a while, he needed Il Chim Gui.

“When do you have to go?”

“I think I have to start preparing to leave soon.”

Byeoktaesan nodded happily.

“Well, do that then.”

The eyes of the Il Chim Gui opened wide.

“Really? Can I really go?”

“Sure. It’s not a difficult task. Don’t I just have to go with you?”

The expression of the Il Chim Gui momentarily decayed. However, he was able to fix it quickly.

If Byeoktaesan’s mood is offended, it might be more invasive.

“Then, shall we leave tomorrow? There was someone else who wanted to go too, so that’s great.”

The Il Chim Gui did not give any answer.

Perhaps, for the time being, it seemed difficult to escape from this hell.

***

When Byeoktaesan said he was going to the Ho mu ryun, the world of Gold Wall Merchants flipped.

Simple to say but actually going was another story.

Even though it is far away, this Ho mu ryun’s meeting was to be attended only by the top martial artists in Hubei.

It wasn’t a place for the second son of the gold wall merchants to go to.

However, the atmosphere changed a little when he said he was going to accompany the Il Chim Gui.

After that, they were anxious to somehow put other people in there.

Ho Mu Ryun was a very large organization.

It was worth considering just the organization called Ho mu ryun, but all the martial artists who are famous in Hubei are entangled in it.

So how much will it be of great help in the future to maintain a good relationship with Ho Mu-ryun as a merchant based in Hubei?

Moreover, as the Cheongeumryeon staggered recently, there was a lot of room for the gold wall merchants to move around with. Enough to be able to look elsewhere.

However, all of those attempts were blocked in the stubborn coldness of the Il Chim Gui.

To be more precise, they were blocked by the opposition of the Il Chim Gui under the direction of Byeoktaesan.

Eventually, the Gold wall merchants had no choice but to entrust everything to Byeoktaesan, who was included in the group of the Il Chim Gui.

The second problem was Byeoktaesan’s health.

Byeok Tae-soo was very anxious about the long trip Byeoktaesan was embarking on.

However, there was nothing more to say because two of the doctors, Chunchu Shinui and Il Chim Gui both argued that it was not good to stay only at home.

Of course, this was also the result of faithfully following Byeoktaesan’s instructions.

After several things happened, it came the day that Byeoktaesan and the group left for Ho mu ryun.

For Byeoktaesan, Byeoktae-soo prepared the best wagons available.

In addition, enough travel expenses were paid to take care of the maximum convenience during the journey.

Byeok Tae-soo watched Byeoktaesan leave from a distance.

He couldn’t openly see him off close.

One of those small actions could later become the seeds of trouble.

So, from a very high place, he looked down at Byeoktaesan and the group standing at the front gate.

However, the composition of the party was a bit strange.

“There are… a lot of women?”
