Chapter 27

 

“To be precise, it came to mind when I fell into the lake because of you.”

 

I said curtly while glaring at him.

 

With a thud, the chair toppled over. Yeonhopyeong had kicked back his seat and stood up.

 

“You, do you know what happened that day?”

 

Yeonhopyeong’s eyes trembled.

 

He looked anxious, wondering if I knew about the Bloodstone Flower.

 

When I glared at him without saying anything, anger rose on Yeonhopyeong’s face.

 

“I told you to answer.”

 

“Why should I?”

 

Yeonhopyeong furrowed his brow. I looked straight at him.

 

“How dare you…”

 

Now even his breathing was becoming rough.

 

In my eyes, I could see the remaining energy of the Bloodstone Flower rippling around Yeonhopyeong. He clearly hadn’t completely absorbed it yet.

 

So I decided to press him a little more.

 

“Come to think of it, I think I saw someone else there besides you…”

 

I could feel Yeonhopyeong drawing in his breath.

 

“Seeing how nervous you’re getting, I must have caught you doing something that absolutely shouldn’t be discovered.”

 

I whispered quietly enough for only him to hear.

 

At that moment, Yeonhopyeong’s face contorted.

 

“You two, get out for a moment.”

 

As if to teach me a lesson, he dismissed Okxiang and Sawol.

 

The two looked worried, but today they couldn’t rashly interfere and went outside.

 

“I’ve been too lenient, so you must think I’m easy… I’ll make sure you can’t spout any more nonsense.”

 

Yeonhopyeong untied his waist sash and gripped it with both hands.

 

True to his violent nature, he couldn’t control his anger and wanted to teach me a lesson.

 

He whipped the sash, shattering the teacup beside me.

 

He probably intended to intimidate me.

 

I didn’t miss that moment and threw my body to the opposite side, putting a bit of internal energy into my toes.

 

With a thud, my body hit the wall.

 

“Aaaaah!”

 

I screamed and curled up my body.

 

Then I lowered my head, disheveled my hair, and messed up my clothes.

 

“Young master, why are you doing this…?!”

 

Then I stared at him with tear-filled eyes.

 

“You…!”

 

Yeonhopyeong approached me, seemingly surprised by my actions instead.

 

He was looking down at me with a furrowed brow and an incredulous expression.

 

There was something I learned first when I entered Sangteon-dang.

 

The feeling of injustice I acquired while being beaten to near death for no reason.

 

With that feeling of injustice, I was able to naturally perform self-harm extortion today.

 

“Are you… determined to kill me?”

 

“What did I…”

 

The moment Yeonhopyeong made an aggrieved expression, I quickly got up and grabbed his arm.

 

A technique I couldn’t use until I removed one more acupoint.

 

It was to deploy ‘Wave Breaking Technique’.

 

Wave Breaking Technique was a skill developed through the Demon Flow Mind Method I learned during my time as the Sangteon-dang leader, a secret technique that penetrated layers of an opponent’s internal energy to examine the texture of their martial arts and internal power.

 

However, I could only know by making contact and causing his internal energy to move. That’s why I deliberately grabbed Yeonhopyeong’s arm.

 

With just a light touch, I could flow very weak internal energy into him and penetrate.

 

Thump thump thump.

 

Air vibrations that only I could feel returned.

 

The moment I tried to confirm his martial prowess through those vibrations, Yeonhopyeong’s arm violently shook me off.

 

Because of that, my body flew up.

 

Since I deliberately didn’t use breakfall techniques, I ended up hitting the wall hard.

 

‘This is real.’

 

Pain spread through my spine.

 

And something unbelievable happened before my eyes.

 

For a moment, I saw red flames and black shadows intertwining around him.

 

It was a strange sight different from when I saw the Bloodstone Flower’s energy, an eerie wavelength I couldn’t see even during my Sangteon-dang days.

 

‘I can visually confirm martial prowess?!’

 

According to the information Chung-rin brought, I heard that Yeonhopyeong had reached the realm of first-class masters where killing intent and demonic energy formed perfect unity, then hit a wall.

 

Though I hadn’t additionally confirmed through others, it probably wasn’t wrong information.

 

But the black current wrapping over the red energy was telling me there had been changes in his internal energy.

 

‘That’s probably the price he received for absorbing part of the Bloodstone Flower.’

 

If he absorbed more of the Bloodstone Flower, Yeonhopyeong could surpass the demonic realm level of absolute masters and reach the extreme demonic body realm of transcendent masters.

 

Having confirmed Yeonhopyeong’s potential, there was no need to delay further.

 

I lowered my head and cried out as if sobbing.

 

“P-please spare me!”

 

When I cried out in a terrified voice, Yeonhopyeong urgently approached me.

 

He seemed to think he needed to shut my mouth.

 

That’s when it happened.

 

“Miss Jeok!”

 

Yeomnhoryeong entered the residence like the wind.

 

“Brother, what on earth are you doing to Miss Jeok?!”

 

Yeomnhoryeong blocked between me and Yeonhopyeong.

 

Yeonhopyeong’s eyebrows twitched, not expecting him to appear in this situation.

 

“Miss, are you alright?!”

 

I clung behind Yeomnhoryeong’s back with a thoroughly frightened face. Then I whimpered.

 

During my Sangteon-dang days, what I learned wasn’t just how to handle information.

 

The Heavenly Tiger Alliance taught various things to raise Sangteon-dang’s informants, and I also completed all the courses.

 

Following self-harm extortion, the skill I demonstrated was acting.

 

This body is delicate and frail, so this technique would work.

 

“Young master Ryeong… P-please save me.”

 

Yeomnhoryeong seemed determined to protect me from his brother, greatly inflating his presence.

 

“Brother, please stop.”

 

“Yeomnhoryeong! How are you here?!”

 

“That’s not important right now. Brother, what are you doing to the bride before the wedding ceremony?”

 

“Huh!”

 

Yeonhopyeong swallowed as if incredulous.

 

“Hey, that wench is doing this by herself. You don’t think I’d harm the bride before the wedding ceremony…”

 

“Isn’t Miss Jeok trembling like this?!”

 

Yeonhopyeong glared at me with an incredulous expression, but I stubbornly pretended to be terrified and pressed my body against the wall.

 

“Damn it. This is driving me crazy.”

 

Yeonhopyeong roughly disheveled his own hair.

 

This time he hadn’t strangled me, nor had he laid hands on me, so he must have felt wronged.

 

This is why usual conduct is important.

 

I trembled and grabbed Yeomnhoryeong’s arm like a frail bird.

 

Yeomnhoryeong blocked in front of Yeonhopyeong again.

 

“Brother, please return for today.”

 

Anger was also rising on Yeomnhoryeong’s face.

 

I concealed my true intentions while observing the state of the two men.

 

The two brothers were bristling at each other.

 

It was going according to plan.

 

The reason Yeonhoryeong came to my residence was… because I had summoned him.

 

Early in the morning, I had Sawol send a letter to Yeonhoryeong’s residence.

 

The first purpose was to probe him by asking about Yuhwa, and the second was to prepare for the case where Yeonhopyeong, who would have finished absorbing the Bloodstone Flower, appeared during breakfast time.

 

Looking at the situation, it was clear that Yeonhoryeong had prepared and come to my residence as soon as he received the letter.

 

I had told Sawol and Okxiang that if Yeonhopyeong ordered them to leave, they should go outside and absolutely not come in no matter what happened.

 

However, I told them to let only Yeonhoryeong enter.

 

So Sawol and Okxiang had performed my orders well.

 

“Hey, I’m telling you I really didn’t do it. And anyway, that woman is my fiancée. And I, as the young master…”

 

“Young Miss. Can you stand up? Shall I help support you?”

 

Yeonhoryeong protected me while ignoring his older brother’s words.

 

Yeonhopyeong’s face flushed red and blue with anger. He probably wanted to snatch me away from his younger brother and beat me right then and there.

 

“Elder Brother. I’m sorry, but please return now.”

 

“Yeonhoryeong, you bastard. You conspired with that woman, didn’t you? You always seemed to have a lot of interest in that woman…”

 

“If you don’t step back, I will tell the family head about today’s incident. Do you think it’s possible to proceed with the wedding ceremony with Young Miss Jeok in this state?”

 

Yeonhopyeong’s eyebrows twitched.

 

Thinking that wouldn’t do, his burning killing intent gradually subsided.

 

“You bastard. Just wait and see.”

 

Yeonhopyeong kicked the table with his foot.

 

As a result, the food on the table spilled onto the floor, and Yeonhoryeong blocked it with his body so I wouldn’t get hurt.

 

“What a damn mess.”

 

Yeonhopyeong glared at me and his younger brother before storming out with heavy breathing.

 

Given his temperament, he would have wanted to cut us down, but he had no choice but to retreat thinking of the family head who valued the wedding.

 

Even a scoundrel like Yeonhopyeong feared the family head.

 

So he probably ended it with just kicking over the dining table.

 

When Yeonhopyeong’s presence disappeared, Yeonhoryeong finally seemed relieved.

 

“Young Master Ryeong…”

 

I sobbed while shrugging my shoulders. As I trembled finely in his arms, Yeonhoryeong’s actions became a little bolder.
