161.

By this point, Seol Mujin couldn’t help but feel displeased.

Why should he have to listen to harsh words from this rude man?

It wasn’t as if he lacked power or justification.

So Seol Mujin’s voice toward the man dropped to a low tone.

“If you leave now, your filthy mouth might remain intact.”

An expression of disbelief crossed the man’s face, which soon turned to anger.

“This bastard dares to act like this when he doesn’t even know who I am!”

“I’m not interested.”

He truly wasn’t interested.

Whoever this man was, he would be nothing more than a worthless person to Seol Mujin.

“Seeing that you don’t know who I am, you must be an outsider! As for me…!”

Seol Mujin cut off the man’s words.

“I said I’m not interested.”

Two men in their forties flanking the man stepped forward.

Both carried swords on their backs and seemed to have higher martial arts skills than the man.

They appeared to be bodyguards.

The fact that a martial artist traveled with bodyguards showed that this man was nothing special.

“Young Master is the son of the head of Seonchangpyo Country, which is run by the younger brother of the Qingcheng Sect’s leader.”

Spotted Face, who had a large birthmark on his cheek, revealed the man’s identity.

Since Seol Mujin was an outsider, he might not know Seonchangpyo Country, but he would surely know the Qingcheng Sect, so they thought he would back down at that name.

“So? Are you saying that if I break your limbs or kill you, the Qingcheng Sect will come for revenge?”

The man’s face reddened as he pointed at Seol Mujin.

“Look at this thunderbolt bastard! Kill that guy right now!”

“Those who casually speak of murder should be prepared to die themselves.”

A server bringing tea was startled by their menacing atmosphere.

Seol Mujin gestured to the frightened server.

“Please bring it over.”

The server approached hesitantly with a frightened expression, set down the tea set, and disappeared like the wind.

Seol Mujin spoke to the woman sitting across from him.

“Since you’ve put me in this predicament, you could at least pour some tea, couldn’t you?”

“What? Pouring tea isn’t difficult, but…”

“It will be over before you finish pouring the tea.”

The man shouted angrily.

“What are you doing! I told you to kill that bastard!”

However, the two middle-aged men couldn’t easily attack Seol Mujin.

The aura emanating from Seol Mujin was calm.

There was none of the sharpness or mountain-like heaviness that emanated from masters.

Yet strangely, their hands wouldn’t move.

Perhaps it was due to the instinct that humans possess as animals.

Only after the curse “Rice Bug” finally burst from the man’s mouth did the two men move.

They didn’t draw their swords.

Though their master had ordered them to kill, committing murder over such a matter would make it impossible to escape the law, no matter how strong their backing.

And if that leisurely-looking man was indeed a master as their instincts warned, it would be better not to draw weapons.

Spotted Face Janghan’s fist aimed for the face, while the other man’s leg targeted Seol Mujin’s waist.

Though not as skilled as their swordsmanship, their fist techniques weren’t weak.

However, the two men couldn’t even finish their attacks.

Seol Mujin disappeared like a phantom, and then heavy pain struck their chests.

The two men, who flew back six zhang and tumbled with tables, didn’t even know what had hit them.

“Ugh…!”

As they groaned and tried to get up, Yang Bowun, whom they were protecting, came flying with a scream.

Yang Bowun, who flew while spurting blood from his face, only stopped sliding after breaking two tables.

Their instincts had been right after all.

That man was not someone they could handle.

Seol Mujin picked up a broken table leg from the floor and approached them.

“Now, shall I eliminate future troubles?”

Spotted Face Janghan barely managed to raise his upper body and spoke.

“A-are you going to kill us?”

“You tried to kill me, so naturally.”

“No! We were just trying to scare you!”

A sneer appeared on Seol Mujin’s lips.

“Weak against the strong, strong against the weak.”

The broken, sharpened table leg touched Spotted Face Janghan’s throat.

As he swallowed thick saliva, a sharp pain was transmitted.

“That collapsed young master over there is the nephew of the Qingcheng Sect’s leader?”

“Y-yes.”

“Do you think I look like I fear the Qingcheng Sect?”

Spotted Face Janghan’s head moved left and right.

“It doesn’t seem like it.”

“Right. However, I don’t want to kill over something this trivial. But if you commit the same rudeness again, I swear I’ll cut off that bastard’s head. And leave that woman behind you alone too. If you touch that woman, that Seonchangpyo Country or whatever will disappear. Just in case, make sure to relay my words clearly to your country’s head. Understood?”

“Yes, I understand.”

“Get going.”

The two men, who had shakily gotten up, carried the unconscious Yang Bowun and left the tavern.

Returning to his seat, Seol Mujin spoke to Jang Seojin, who was standing with a surprised expression.

“You didn’t pour the tea.”

“What? Oh! I-I’m sorry!”

Jang Seojin hurriedly poured tea and placed it in front of Seol Mujin.

Being expensive tea, it had a good fragrance.

Of course, to Seol Mujin, it still couldn’t compare to a bowl of delicious noodles.

“I’m sorry for putting you in danger. In my urgency, I made a grave mistake.”

Seol Mujin spoke to Jang Seojin, who was bowing politely.

“When drowning, one wants to grab even at straws. I understand.”

“Even so, involving you in my affairs leaves me with nothing to say even if I had ten mouths.”

Having expressed such remorse, the apology was sufficient.

It hadn’t actually been dangerous anyway.

Seol Mujin poured tea into a cup and placed it in front of Jang Seojin.

“Let’s have some tea and calm your mind.”

“Thank you.”

At that moment, Hwangbo Cheonak and the others entered the third floor.

“Hm? Who is this person?”

Hwangbo Cheonak asked this, and Jegal Jaeryeong showed a surprised expression.

“Did you make friends with a pretty young lady while we were coming by boat? There was a reason you came quickly by Deungpyeongdo Water Strider. You’re talented in various ways indeed.”

Namgung Hyemin asked while looking at the broken chairs and tables.

“But what happened here?”

Seol Mujin told them about his encounter with Jang Seojin.

Jang Seojin bowed her head toward the three people.

“It’s my first time meeting you. My name is Jang Seojin. I greatly offended your friend.”

After revealing the group’s names, Hwangbo Cheonak said.

“Something like that is nothing to this friend, so don’t take it to heart.”

“Still, it would be best to leave Pungdonghyeon quickly. That bastard Yang Bowun won’t just sit still.”

Hwangbo Cheonak said.

“If he’s that much of a scoundrel, it seems like he’d harm Miss Jang, doesn’t it?”

“It’s my burden to bear.”

Seol Mujin asked the three people.

“Before leaving here, I want to tie up this matter completely.”

“How?”

“I need to make sure he can’t even think of meeting Miss Jang here.”

Jang Seojin waved her hands dismissively.

“You don’t need to do that! I can’t cause Young Master Seol any more trouble! And Seonchangpyo Country has incredibly many strong people. It’s too dangerous.”

Hwangbo Cheonak said.

“The dangerous one is Seonchangpyo Country.”

Jegal Jaeryeong asked Seol Mujin.

“What are you planning to do with Seonchangpyo Country?”

“First, I need to find out what kind of person the head of the trading company is. If he’s similar to his son, then Seonchangpyo Country will disappear.”

“Are you really going to do that?”

Seol Mujin still couldn’t forget that kind restaurant owner couple.

That couple who met with misfortune while going to Jinan to find him might not have died if it weren’t for Seol Mujin.

He learned from that incident.

Whatever he does, he must completely eliminate future troubles.

“Do you know why I learned martial arts?”

“Because of your outstanding talent?”

“Because there are too many bad people in the world.”

Everyone had no choice but to nod at Seol Mujin’s words.

“When there’s a bad person right in front of me, just passing by would be losing my original intention.”

“Um… did you just ignore what I said about Seonchangpyo Country having many strong people?”

Hwangbo Cheonak said.

“It seems like you also ignored what I said about Seonchangpyo Country being in big trouble?”

“There are also many people there. About a hundred or so?”

“If it’s a hundred people, the trading company must be quite substantial.”

Seol Mujin stood up.

“We’ve seen the scenery and had tea, so let’s go now.”

Jegal Jaeryeong muttered.

“We haven’t fully seen the scenery yet and haven’t had tea either.”

“That’s right. Let’s stay here a bit longer before going. There’s nothing urgent anyway.”

When even Namgung Hyemin said that, Seol Mujin had no choice but to sit back down.

The words ‘I need to quickly punish the bad guys’ only brought about a chuckle.

Among the five people, only Jang Seojin was anxious.

The Seonchangpyo Country she knew was the strongest and most fearsome group in the world.

Even the government office couldn’t carelessly touch them, yet Seol Mujin’s group was leisurely drinking tea and enjoying the scenery.

Jegal Jaeryeong asked Jang Seojin, who kept looking at the third floor entrance.

“Are you worried that Seonchangpyo Country might come looking?”

“Seonchangpyo Country doesn’t forgive people who cross them.”

“That means the head of the trading company is as much of a bastard as his son?”

“Seonchangpyo Country also runs a loan shark business in Pungdonghyeon, and there’s a saying that you’d rather owe money to the grim reaper than borrow money from Seonchangpyo Country. But how can that be helped? What makes them vicious is that they take women and children as collateral. Because women and children fetch a good price.”

Seol Mujin asked.

“Then by any chance, were you also taken as collateral, Miss Jang?”

Jang Seojin bit her lower lip and nodded.

“I’m relatively lucky. Instead of being sold as a courtesan, Yang Bowun proposed to me.”

Hwangbo Cheonak, who had been listening to the story, said.

“Seonchangpyo Country are like scum between toes, but the problem is Qingcheng Sect, isn’t it? If the younger brother is that kind of person, would the older brother be a proper person?”

Jegal Jaeryeong picked up on Hwangbo Cheonak’s words.

“I have heard rumors that Qingcheng Sect changed a lot after Yang Chang-sun became the sect leader. In a bad way.”

“Could the sect leader of Gudaemunpa, who represents the orthodox sects, be a bad person?”

At Seol Mujin’s question, Jegal Jaeryeong chuckled.

“You don’t have the naive thought that all orthodox sect members are chivalrous heroes, do you?”

“Of course not. But shouldn’t a sect leader be chivalrous? At minimum, they shouldn’t cross certain lines.”

“There are definitely sect leaders who think of their own sect’s interests before chivalry. Like Yang Chang-sun.”

Hwangbo Cheonak asked.

“If Yang Chang-sun is a sect leader who doesn’t seem like an orthodox sect member, what will you do?”

Seol Mujin’s answer came immediately.

“I’ll have to deal with that when it comes to it.”

“Huh? A guy who seems like he’d even plan his bowel movements is saying no plan is the plan?”

“You filthy bastard. Even when making analogies.”

They spent half a hour with light conversation and jokes before heading to Seonchangpyo Country.

Jang Seojin repeatedly tried to dissuade them to just leave, but aside from helping her, Seonchangpyo Country was needed to create a connection with Qingcheng Sect.

Though it was more likely to become a bad relationship than a good one.

Seonchangpyo Country was located right in the middle of the most prosperous area of Pungdonghyeon.

Pungdonghyeon, with its beautiful scenery, fertile land, and famous teas, was a fairly developed city.

The voices of merchants on both sides of the street calling out to customers and the numerous pedestrians filling the streets showed Pungdonghyeon’s prosperity.

“If you turn left at that intersection, Seonchangpyo Country will appear right away.”

At Jang Seojin’s guidance, Seol Mujin said.

“Miss Jang, please just go home now. You guys wait at this tavern too.”

Seol Mujin pointed to a shop right nearby called ‘Hwangundaru’.

“Why? We should go together too.”

“Things might go badly, and you guys should avoid conflict with Qingcheng Sect if possible.”

If things went wrong, relations between Odaesega and Qingcheng Sect could become strained.

“We think we’d be fine.”

Hwangbo Cheonak wanted to go together, but Jegal Jaeryeong stopped him.

“Mujin oppa is right. After all, we are children of the great families.”

So it was decided that Seol Mujin would go to Seonchangpyo Country alone.
