Chapter 129
It was different from when he was talking with Gal Tae-gyeong.
The Manor Master speaking to Jung Myeong had a serious expression.
‘So he can make this kind of expression too.’
Perhaps it was because his first impression was so unique.
Even this expression felt fresh to Jung Myeong.
Regardless of his inner thoughts, Jung Myeong responded seriously.
“Of course. If the Manor Master wishes, it’s possible even now.”
“Right now wouldn’t work.”
“Hmm?”
“There are quite a few prior guests at this medical clinic. It would be better to see them first.”
“Is that so?”
Sudden prior guests.
This was unexpected.
The Provincial Commander was also coming separately, so who could have come as prior guests?
“You’ll be quite surprised when you see them.”
“Since you put it that way, I’m looking forward to it.”
“As for guidance, let’s see. I’ll…”
“Senior Brother should stay here! You’re trying to slack off again without installing the formation!”
“Who says I’m slacking off?”
“Then aren’t you?”
“Tsk. Then let that kid over there do it.”
“That one… has a lot to learn.”
“Why? Are you planning to personally teach formations?”
“…Never mind.”
“How embarrassed you are.”
“I’ll go! Master, please stop teasing Junior Uncle!”
“Alright, alright. This one cares more for Junior Uncle than for Master. How heartbreaking. So heartbreaking.”
“Ahem…”
The Manor Master had one of his disciples tell them where the prior guests were.
That disciple looked quite bright.
‘That child seems to have quite remarkable talent in martial arts too?’
Even Jung Myeong’s gaze is drawn to her.
‘Now I understand why Gal Jwa-sa cherishes her.’
She’s a child with quite good talent. The child’s character was as beautiful as her talent.
“Physician, I’ll guide you.”
“Good.”
The scene of a guest guiding the host unfolds.
This could be awkward. But it was unavoidable.
It was something that happened because the Medical Clinic had expanded rapidly in his absence.
* * *
The child the Manor Master had called his disciple led the group quite cheerfully.
“I heard that Young Lady and the Sect Brothers can stay here.”
“Thank you.”
“Not at all. It’s what I should do.”
A child even younger than Eun Gyeol showing them where to stay with her tiny hands was quite adorable.
While everyone was looking at her with fond eyes, the child who had guided Yeo Eun-so’s Sect Brothers immediately went to guide Jung Myeong.
“Shall we go?”
“Yes, please.”
The place they arrived at following the child’s cute guidance.
There were guests there who were not cute at all.
* * *
“You’ve arrived!”
The one at the front of the guests was already a familiar person.
“Why are you here when you should be at Hoehwa Gate?”
“It’s more comfortable here.”
“Hah…”
Wave-Grasping Blade Jeon Neung-hwan.
He was at the very front. Having trained relentlessly in the meantime, he possessed an aura like a single blade.
“Hehe. Can you not see me?”
“Elder, you should have gone to the Jusan Archipelago.”
“My life’s value couldn’t be weighed so lightly. Frustratingly, I can’t end things with just the Gosan Sect matter. You’ve done too well for me.”
“Hah…”
The cunning Man-am-gun. Beside him were countless martial artists who had been defeated by him in sparring.
Among them, there was one who could be called a crane among chickens.
“Was there no commotion on your way here, Cheong Yeon-geom?”
“It seems I’m not visible when mixed in with the crowd.”
Cheong Yeon-geom. He who inherited the sword through single successor transmission even in Anhui where the Namgung Family resided was seated here.
‘This is quite surprising.’
He had made a name for himself as an Orthodox Sect martial artist from the previous generation until now.
His level alone was Super Peak Level.
To think such a person could enter here without causing a disturbance.
It would be strange not to be surprised.
At this, Man-am-gun grumbled as if displeased.
“Hmph. This is why crowds are frightening.”
“Aren’t you also part of that crowd, Elder?”
“…Tsk. In any case, your verbal sparring skills have already reached the Transformation Realm.”
“It’s thanks to you.”
“Hmm… Your divine perception is also quite keen.”
Had he sensed something from Jung Myeong?
Man-am-gun’s gaze was not ordinary.
‘In any case, his perception is quite good.’
His gaze was strange. Even if he didn’t know that Jung Myeong had undergone Bone Transformation, he had certainly sensed that something had changed.
They say there are those called divine guests.
‘There are far too many.’
Their numbers were far greater than expected.
Jung Myeong asked with some hope.
“Now, what do you busy people have to say after gathering all the way here?”
* * *
“Have you arrived?”
A Safe House prepared in Jiangxi Province.
The Old Man who had sent Ghost Face Prince to Ghost Killer quietly glances to the side.
The Old Man still had a calm expression.
“We’ll be meeting the Guild Master soon, so your mood is good.”
“What’s there to be bad about?”
It was Ghost Face Prince expressing his dissatisfaction.
“Didn’t you hear?”
“Hear what?”
“Ghost Killer failed.”
“…I know.”
“You know and you’re still like that? Ha. How impressive.”
The Old Man’s face deeply frowns at Ghost Face Prince’s sarcasm.
At this, Ghost Face Prince smiled brightly and said.
“The Guild Master will know about him too. Will he count that as a failure, or won’t he?”
“…”
He wore a smile that truly delighted in the Old Man’s failure.
The Old Man didn’t back down easily either.
“So what if it’s counted as a failure?”
“So what? The Blood Temples we carried out this time. We were the only ones who failed there. Do you understand?! Thanks to you, I failed too.”
“When was it that you eagerly followed along saying it was good. Tsk.”
“That was when I didn’t foresee failure.”
“How shameless. Right. Did you forget something?”
“What?”
“I was the one who designed all those Blood Temples. Isn’t that a merit?”
He put forward his own accomplishments.
At this, Ghost Face Prince could tell that this guy was cornered.
Normally, he would never come out like this.
“That’s right! I acknowledge it! That’s why your head is still attached, isn’t it?”
“Interesting.”
“You find that interesting?”
“What wouldn’t be? It’s been a long time since I couldn’t see this far ahead, so it has to be interesting.”
“Hah…! Didn’t you say you don’t play prophet anymore?”
“Did I? Hehe.”
Even amid Ghost Face Prince’s assault, the Old Man smiled.
As if he had to. The end of such laughter came easier than expected.
“Hmm. It seems you’re having an interesting jest without me.”
A presence suddenly revealed itself at the empty head table.
The one who appeared at the head table gave off a strong impression of a middle-aged scholar. Even his aura was ordinary for a martial artist.
“Have you arrived?”
Nevertheless, the Old Man greeting him was courteous, unlike when dealing with Ghost Face Prince.
“I have come. How could I not come when you are here?”
“I have caused you to make a precious journey.”
“I greet the Guild Master!”
Ghost Face Prince was the same. His eyes looking at the Guild Master held respect.
It was uncharacteristic of him, who seemed like he would never follow anyone in his lifetime.
“Guild Master. I formally request that you punish this person.”
“Hah… Even a child wouldn’t tattle so openly.”
“What can’t I do?”
Ghost Face Prince acted like a child, just as the Old Man said.
“…”
The one called Guild Master merely watched quietly.
Loud voices went back and forth between Ghost Face Prince and the Old Man.
It wasn’t behavior fitting to show before someone they respected.
But just the fact that they didn’t raise their hands was them doing their best.
“Are you finished?”
The Guild Master’s question after watching him for a long while.
Only then did the two abruptly stop.
“Why didn’t you do more? That could have been the punishment you wanted.”
“…Hehe.”
“How dare I speak of punishment. I know that’s not my place.”
“Good thing then.”
“…”
A moment of silence.
Ghost Face Prince swallowed nervously at the tension.
The Old Man didn’t show it outwardly, but inside he was trembling. He knew his life or death depended on the Guild Master’s decision.
When the tension reached its peak.
The Guild Master’s mouth opened again.
“Ghost Face.”
“Yes, Guild Master!”
“You will return to Lotus with me.”
“Pardon?”
“Blood Lotus Master is looking for you. He wants you to handle the next phase of this matter.”
“Ahh…! Finally!”
“The time will come soon. You can move then.”
“As you command!”
The treatment was decided. Ghost Face Prince seemed satisfied with this. It was natural since he had been entrusted with an important responsibility.
“Then when should I move?”
“Will you know the timing this time?”
Instead of answering Ghost Face Prince, the Guild Master looked at the Old Man.
Then he asked when Ghost Face Prince wanted the timing to be.
The Old Man understood well that this meant he should create that timing himself.
“I do not know.”
His answer was vague.
“You must know.”
“I will make sure to know.”
“Good. How will you make sure to know?”
“Don’t they say heaven helps those who help themselves?”
“What do you mean?”
“I will go to Hangzhou. I can go there and set everything right, can’t I?”
With this, the Old Man chose to go to Hangzhou. The failed Blood Temple. Because of that, he hadn’t obtained what he absolutely needed to get, so he was saying he would reclaim it.
An unexpected answer came back to that.
“Impossible!”
“!!!!”
The Old Man was confident, but the Guild Master who received this was not at all.
“Why not!?”
“The situation has already grown too big for one person to move and change the game. In a situation where everyone is on guard, going alone won’t accomplish anything.”
“Mmm…”
An extremely realistic answer.
The Old Man swallowed a groan at that.
“Why? Can’t come up with a plan?”
If there’s no plan, you must die.
Gooo-
Killing Intent immediately spread out.
At this, the Old Man waved his hands frantically.
“No, no. I’ll create one right away.”
The Old Man desperately racked his brain and finally managed to create an answer.
“Golden Tiger Gang!”
“Golden Tiger Gang?”
“That’s right. They’re also one of the Hangzhou Three Major Forces, aren’t they? They exist. And since there are rumors that disturbances are slowly starting in the Jusan Archipelago as well, I’ll strike in time with that!”
“Hmm. That seems to be missing one piece.”
The Golden Tiger Gang and the Jusan Archipelago story came up.
As if this wasn’t satisfactory either.
The Killing Intent wasn’t withdrawn.
“Ah, I know. That Madman from Black Point will also move.”
“That would be necessary.”
Black Point. When he mentioned that, only then was the Killing Intent withdrawn.
Only then could the Old Man breathe out deeply.
However, even this seemed insufficient for the Guild Master, as he issued a final warning.
“If you fail to accomplish it this time as well, the restoration you desire will become nothing but an impossible dream.”
There was only one answer the Old Man could give to that.
