67.
“What? Then where is he?”
“He went to Beijing. I think going to the Hwangbo Family Estate would be faster.”
Hwangbo Cheonak said with a long sigh.
“Oryongbang already sent people to the Hwangbo Family Estate. They need to make threats, after all.”
“I see.”
Yeon Seobi whispered to Hwa Seonhwa.
“If it’s Hwangbo Cheonak, isn’t he the scoundrel eldest son of the Hwangbo family? He looks very suspicious.”
He heard everything.
“It’s true I’m a scoundrel and it’s natural I look suspicious, but everything I’m saying is the truth.”
Hwa Seonhwa looked at the two corpses Hwangbo Cheonak had created.
The flustered Hwangbo Cheonak apologized.
“I’m sorry for dirtying the courtyard.”
Hwa Seonhwa chuckled even with the corpses in front of her.
“Seobi. Where did you say Mujin-i went?”
“Are you going to tell this suspicious guy?”
“Name.”
“It’s a tea house called Shangwulu… It was on some street in Beijing’s inner city… I don’t know the details.”
Hwangbo Cheonak repeated the name Shangwulu several times.
“Are you going to Beijing?”
Hwangbo Cheonak nodded at Hwa Seonhwa’s question.
“Yes. Since I don’t know when Seol Podoo will come, I think it’s better to go to Beijing rather than wait here indefinitely. Well then, I’ll be going.”
As he turned and took a step, something got caught on his foot and rolled away.
It was Gwon Taekang’s head that Hwangbo Cheonak had cut off.
“Ah! I-I’ll clean up the corpses!”
Hwa Seonhwa gestured for him to hurry and go.
“It’s fine. I called the government officials so they’ll come soon. If you meet them, it’ll just waste time, so hurry and go.”
Hwangbo Cheonak bowed deeply toward Hwa Seonhwa.
“Thank you! Then I’ll see you when I return!”
Watching Hwangbo Cheonak hurriedly leave Yeonji-ru, Hwa Seonhwa tilted her head.
“He doesn’t seem like a scoundrel.”
Yeon Seobi agreed.
“Right. He just seems like a fool.”
***
Watching Seol Mujin and Seol Mantong sparring, Seol Ryeoseon asked.
“Brother, he seems to have improved a lot, right?”
Seol Changho answered without taking his eyes off their sparring.
“Now it would be hard to fight while going easy on him. That guy Mantong-i is having trouble too.”
Of course, he could win if he wanted to.
But he couldn’t achieve the leisurely victory of before, putting a knife to the throat while saying ‘Brother, you’re still far off.’
They had to do their best too, and if they weren’t careful, they might seriously injure Seol Mujin.
“Now we can’t spar seriously with real swords.”
At Seol Ryeoseon’s words, Seol Changho replied, ‘Wooden swords are no fun though.’
Just then, Seol Mantong’s knife barely grazed past Seol Mujin’s chest.
Seol Ryeoseon jumped up and shouted angrily.
“You pervert bastard! Be careful!”
Seol Mujin’s sword, thrust after dodging the attack, stopped in front of Seol Mantong’s chest.
“So close! He could have gotten him! You pervert bastard! Brother might get hurt! Ehe! He could have poked that pervert’s nose.”
While Seol Ryeoseon was getting excited watching the sparring, Seol Changho poked her side.
“What?”
Seol Changho pointed with his chin toward the forest across from them.
When she turned her head, she saw someone secretly watching the sparring from behind a tree.
“Huh? That face looks familiar…”
“It’s Hwangbo Cheonak.”
“Hwangbo Cheonak? Ah! The Hwangbo family scoundrel! But why is that bastard there?”
“We should catch him and ask.”
Seol Changho launched his body, and before five breaths passed, Hwangbo Cheonak came rolling with a scream of ‘Ouch!’
Seol Ryeoseon went to the head of Hwangbo Cheonak, who was lying spread-eagle with his face planted on the ground.
Due to Hwangbo Cheonak’s appearance, the sparring between Seol Mujin and Seol Mantong naturally stopped.
Seol Ryeoseon asked Seol Changho.
“Did you kill the kid?”
“Kill him? I just lightly kicked his butt.”
“Then why isn’t he moving? Hey, hey.”
Seol Ryeoseon tapped Hwangbo Cheonak’s head with her foot.
“If you don’t get up, I’ll step on your head and burst it.”
Flinch!
Hwangbo Cheonak slowly got up and knelt down.
Hwangbo Cheonak’s eyes were full of moisture as he raised his head, as if he might shed tears at any moment.
Seol Mujin, who was panting after just finishing the sparring, was quite flustered.
“What’s wrong?”
Hwangbo Cheonak, moving his Adam’s apple greatly as if swallowing tears, opened his mouth.
“Seol Podoo. Please save my younger brother and sister.”
“What?”
“You devoured Hyeonguk and his siblings, right? That’s not a lie, is it? Are you also secretly plotting to devour the Hwangbo family?”
“What are you suddenly talking about…?”
“What was that tremendous martial arts you just displayed? And what about these kids’ martial arts? Someone with such martial arts couldn’t possibly be a porter, right?”
Seol Mujin said.
“First get up and tell us what’s going on.”
Hwangbo Cheonak glanced at the triplets and slowly stood up, then said ‘Ouch, cramp!’ and applied saliva to his nose three times.
Seol Ryeoseon clicked her tongue, saying ‘That one’s quite something too.’
“Hyeonguk, sister Ryeoseon, Chiyeon, and the Illusion Enchantress were captured by Oryongbang.”
“What? What do you mean?”
“Well, how it happened was…”
Hwangbo Cheonak’s speaking skills weren’t very good, so his explanation was lengthy but there wasn’t much useful information.
Still, since they roughly knew the circumstances, they could grasp the main points.
Seol Mujin summarized Hwangbo Cheonak’s lengthy words.
“So Oryongbang decided to board a different ship instead of the Third Prince’s. That different ship happens to be the place that failed to devour the Hwangbo family. How do you know this?”
“Because I belong there.”
“Where is ‘there’?”
“Myeoncheonhoe.”
“Myeoncheonhoe?”
The triplets, receiving Seol Mujin’s gaze, shook their heads indicating it was an unfamiliar name.
Seol Changho said.
“It must be a place created by the imperial family. If it weren’t the imperial family, Oryongbang wouldn’t have abandoned the Third Prince to switch sides.”
That made sense.
Seol Mujin asked Hwangbo Cheonak.
“How did you get involved with them?”
“The day after my mother was captured, they approached me. They said they would help me avenge my mother and give me the Hwangbo Family Estate.”
Seol Ryeoseon asked.
“That’s a sweet temptation, so why are you here now?”
“Sweet my ass! I wasn’t interested in becoming the Hwangbo Family Head in the first place! I don’t have the capacity to be a family head, and I have no martial arts talent! But my mother… because of my mother…”
“So that’s why you acted like a scoundrel?”
“That was the maximum rebellion I could manage. I thought if I was trash, Hyeonguk would become the young master.”
“Still, the Hwangbo Family is the place that killed your mother. As a son, you should avenge her.”
“The place that killed my mother is Myeoncheonhoe. If Myeoncheonhoe hadn’t used my mother, none of this would have happened in the first place. I joined Myeoncheonhoe to avenge my mother, but it ended up like this.”
Seol Mujin said.
“We don’t have time for this. We need to hurry to Oryongbang and save people.”
Seol Ryeoseon pointed at Hwangbo Cheonak.
“That bastard might be lying to trap us.”
Seol Mujin shook his head.
“He’s not lying. Actually, something felt strange from when we met at the Hwangbo Family Estate.”
Seol Mujin remembered the sense of unease he felt when he got into a fight with Hwangbo Cheonak.
He could finally understand that unease was Hwangbo Cheonak’s anguish.
Seol Mujin deployed his lightness skill and asked Hwangbo Cheonak.
“How did you find us?”
“I was taking the fastest route to Beijing when I heard the sound of you sparring.”
It was lucky.
“What kind of place is this Myeoncheonhoe?”
“Actually, I don’t know much either. Until just two weeks ago, I was holed up in a cave doing nothing but internal energy cultivation. Oryongbang was the first place I went after leaving the cave.”
“Internal energy cultivation?”
“They gave me some medicine as a gift.”
“You just took medicine without knowing what it was?”
“I had no choice but to take it.”
From Hwangbo Cheonak’s position, there was no choice.
“So did your martial arts improve a bit?”
“Of course.”
“Then we can pick up the pace a bit more.”
“Huh?”
Suddenly, the lightness skills of Seol Mujin and the triplets became faster.
Hwangbo Cheonak also increased his speed, but the distance gradually widened.
After about two quarters, his breath was coming up to his chin.
Even though he desperately deployed his lightness skill, the distance kept widening until the four people looked like dots.
“A bit… slower…”
As if hearing that groan-like words, Seol Mujin and the triplets stopped walking.
Hwangbo Cheonak, who barely reached where the four people were, bent his waist and gasped for breath.
Seol Mujin asked.
“Didn’t you say your martial arts improved?”
“They… improved… But you’re one thing…”
Hwangbo Cheonak pointed at the triplets.
“You’re… just kids… how… Ugh, I’m dying.”
The triplets were startled when they saw Hwangbo Cheonak’s face, which looked like he might collapse at any moment.
“Hey, what’s this?”
Seol Mantong grabbed Hwangbo Cheonak’s ear.
“What? Ah! My ear, my ear…!”
Seol Mujin asked Hwangbo Cheonak.
“Do you know about the blue lines on your face?”
“What’s on my face?”
Blue lines like blood vessels ran from Hwangbo Cheonak’s forehead, across his left cheek, down to his neck.
Seol Mantong grabbed the back of Hwangbo Cheonak’s neck and flew with his body.
“Ahhh! What, what are you doing!”
There was a stream about ten zhang away.
Seol Mantong reflected Hwangbo Cheonak’s face in the stream water.
The face reflected in the stream water was blurry, but the blue lines were clearly visible.
“Wh-what is this?”
Seol Changho asked.
“What did that medicine you took at Myeoncheonhoe look like?”
“Why do you ask?”
“Thumbnail-sized, blue, and tasted like metal, right?”
Hwangbo Cheonak was startled.
“H-how do you know that?”
Seol Ryeoseon spat out the medicine’s name like a groan.
“Reverse Heaven Pill.”
“Reverse Heaven Pill? What’s that?”
Hwangbo Cheonak didn’t get an answer to that question.
Instead of answering, the triplets took Seol Mujin some distance away and talked about something.
Since he couldn’t hear even when he strained his ears, they must have created a qi barrier between them and Hwangbo Cheonak.
“You should tell me! I’m the one involved!”
He was ignored.
Both Seol Mujin and the triplets had extremely serious expressions.
The thought ‘Am I going to die?’ naturally occurred to him.
So he didn’t dare to break through the qi barrier and go to them.
Eventually, the four people who finished their conversation approached him.
Hwangbo Cheonak swallowed dry saliva and couldn’t even ask, only throwing desperate glances.
Seol Mujin opened his mouth.
“That’s why you shouldn’t just take any medicine.”
It was similar to the scolding a three-year-old would receive.
“Am I… going to die?”
Seol Mujin was about to say something when Seol Mantong spoke first.
“Of course you’ll die.”
His heart sank.
“D-die? When I’m perfectly fine like this?”
“You’re fine now. But will you still be fine sixty or seventy years from now?”
“Then I have sixty or seventy years… Huh?”
“Keke… This guy is fun to tease, isn’t he?”
The triplets giggled and laughed, and Seol Mujin also smiled slightly.
The bewildered Hwangbo Cheonak asked.
“Am I going to die or not?”
Seol Mujin said.
“You’ll die someday, but not now. Of course, if we leave it like this, you’ll soon become a madman or fall into qi deviation.”
“That’s more terrible than death!”
“My siblings will help you.”
“How?”
Seol Changho went behind Hwangbo Cheonak and said.
“You should know you’re lucky to have met us. Take off your clothes.”
“What are you going to do?”
“You wouldn’t understand even if we explained. Just take off your clothes and sit.”
When he looked at Seol Mujin with an anxious expression, Seol Mujin nodded to reassure him.
Seol Mujin and the triplets were just as suspicious of Myeoncheonhoe, but right now they had no choice but to trust Seol Mujin.
When he took off his clothes and sat in lotus position, Seol Changho behind him said.
“From now on, don’t move a muscle. No matter how much it hurts, you can’t move.”
“H-how much is it going to hurt?”
“Enough to kill you.”
‘Shit.’
When Seol Changho tapped his back with his fingers, it really hurt enough to kill him.
“Nnnngh…!”
Whenever his body leaned forward even slightly with a groan, Seol Ryeoseon’s shout would explode.
“Don’t move!”
