Legend of the Evil Martial God
Chapter 173
At Jin Muryang’s sound transmission, the two people nodded as if they agreed.
During their very brief conversation.
Thud-pa-pa-pa-pak-.
A sound was heard.
Since they knew what that sound was, they didn’t pay much attention to it.
Suddenly, Cheonhyanghwa jumped up from her seat and looked toward the window again, then let out a sigh of relief.
The three people could predict the outcome without even looking, so they were busy observing Cheonhyanghwa.
– She seems to be completely in love.
– Could the reason Baek Ryeongso opened a fabric shop there be…?
– No way. It must be a coincidence.
– It might not be a coincidence. That guy looking around in all directions might not be because of Dae-hyeong, but because of that woman.
– Hey, hey, if it were because of that woman, he wouldn’t be looking around so nervously. He’s extremely tense while looking around. This is definitely him checking whether Dae-hyeong is there or not. Didn’t you do the same? I did.
– I did too.
At the two people’s sound transmission, Jeok Wigang looked at them with an incredulous expression.
– Did you want to avoid me that much?
– Yes.
He was honest.
– Even now?
– No.
– Then that’s fine.
Jeok Wigang didn’t dwell on past matters.
What’s past is past.
He was someone who thought the present was important.
And that present was turning out quite entertaining.
– Baek Ryeongso might not know about that woman’s existence.
– He doesn’t know. If she’s fallen that deeply, she would have definitely made clothes for Baek Ryeongso.
– Is that so?
Baek Ryeongso poked his head out to see what was happening, but he had already finished tidying up and went inside.
Seeing Cheonhyanghwa fidgeting restlessly, it seems something did happen.
“Why are you fidgeting so restlessly?”
“Huh? Th-that… didn’t you see?”
“No. We had our heads down.”
“Why?”
“Huh?”
“Why are you watching that fabric shop?”
“We have our reasons. What about you? Why are you watching?”
“I also have my reasons for watching!”
“Do they make clothes well there?”
“Yes!”
“Those clothes were also made there?”
“Yes!”
As expected, she had them made.
“Your clothes are pretty.”
“Right? I’ve worn many clothes until now, but this is the first time I’ve worn clothes this comfortable.”
“Is that so? So you’ve fallen head over heels for the fabric shop owner?”
“Yes!”
Caught.
In an instant, Cheonhyanghwa realized what she had said and quickly covered her mouth.
“But what just happened that made you look so serious?”
“The fabric shop uncle… suppressed the warriors in an instant and dragged them inside. What should we do?”
“Why is that a problem?”
“What if someone reports it and the fabric shop uncle gets in trouble!”
Ah, so that’s what she was worried about?
“You’re not worried he might get hurt?”
“The fabric shop uncle is strong! There’s no way he’d lose to those small fries.”
Ye Yahyeon sent a sound transmission.
– Oh? It seems she’s aware that Baek Ryeongso is strong?
– Seeing how she uses Yin Energy quite well, she seems to be at a level where she can perceive that much?
– If she knows, then what is she worried about?
Unaware that they were exchanging sound transmissions, Cheonhyanghua let out a sigh.
“What if the government office gets involved? At this rate, the fabric store might have to close…”
Ah, so that’s what she was worried about.
“What shall we do?”
“I think we’ve watched enough. Let’s go meet him now.”
As Jeok Wigang stood up from his position, Cheonhyanghua blocked his path.
“What? Are you saying you’re going to meet the fabric store uncle now?”
“Yeah.”
“Who are you people?”
“People who know the fabric store uncle.”
“Do you think I’m a fool?”
“What do you mean?”
“Do people you know hide and watch like this?”
“We lost contact for a while. So we were watching to see how he’s been doing.”
“I don’t believe you.”
“Believe it or not, that’s up to you. Will you move aside?”
“No!”
“If you move aside, I’ll tell him about you too.”
“What? Wh-what about me?”
“That you like him.”
Instantly, Cheonhyanghua’s face turned red as she covered it with her hands.
“Wh-what are you talking about!”
Cheonhyanghua shrieked loudly.
But there was no response.
She removed her hands from her face and looked ahead.
All three people had already disappeared without a trace.
When?
They were masters.
That’s why her yin energy didn’t work on them.
Wait, they didn’t come to cause trouble for the fabric store uncle, did they?
Among all the worries that came flooding in, the most concerning one was.
‘I’ll tell him you like him.’
“No, don’t!”
What if she really says it?
Cheonhyangwha hurriedly went downstairs with a face flushed bright red.
***
A figure deep in thought inside the fabric shop.
He was Baek Ryeongso, the Jin Myeol Shin Ma, one of the Four Heavenly Demon Gods, just as Jeok Wigang had expected.
What he was agonizing over was the disposal of the captured warriors.
Whether to kill them.
Or throw them somewhere deserted and leave.
Killing them would be troublesome to deal with.
In the past, he could just throw them anywhere and be done with it, but now that wasn’t possible.
“Sigh… Flies are swarming. My reputation can’t spread any further…”
Even now, his good reputation was already causing trouble.
So he acted unreasonably, got angry, and cursed at customers to reduce their numbers.
But they liked it, saying it was unique.
“Crazy bastards…”
He couldn’t understand it.
He knew a sure way to reduce customers.
Make clothes carelessly.
“That won’t do.”
The clothes were innocent.
He couldn’t commit such a sin against innocent clothes.
“Should I move to another place and start over?”
But there was something holding him back from that too.
Baek Ryeongso looked at Chwihwaru through the small window of his shop.
He gazed at Chwihwaru with a wistful expression for a moment, then sighed.
“Sigh… I’m being foolish too…”
At first, he had tried to leave.
But his heart wouldn’t allow it.
He couldn’t make clothes carelessly and couldn’t leave this place, so he treated customers roughly, but that became famous for being unique.
While he was pondering like that.
Baek Ryeongso’s expression turned serious.
Then he stood up from his seat and muttered.
“There are many guests today.”
The door opened and someone entered.
A formidable person.
He was the strongest among all those I had met in this place so far.
“Did you come to buy clothes?”
“No, I came to meet an old friend.”
“Then you’ve come to the wrong place. I have no friends.”
“That can’t be. We were once called the calamity of the Central Plains, weren’t we?”
At the mention of being the calamity of the Central Plains, Baek Ryeongso looked at the person standing at the door with a surprised face.
“This aura… Ye Yahyeon?”
“Have you been well?”
“H-how did you find this place?”
“There were rumors going around.”
“Damn it! So it was because of the rumors!”
“If you’re going to change your bone structure, you should change it completely. Why did you change it to look barely different from before?”
“I changed it to look completely different though?”
“Geez. You make clothes amazingly well, but why are you so bad at changing your own body?”
“How can a body be the same as clothes? Did you come alone?”
“No.”
“Who else came?”
The door opened again.
“It’s been a long time.”
“You are… Jin Muryang?”
“Hehehe. Good to see you.”
“Wow! You two came to find me? This is deeply moving! So, what have you been doing all this time?”
“I was the head of an assassin organization.”
“I’m an Imperial Guard Commander.”
“Huh? W-wait. You were the head of an assassin organization? Does that mean you’re not anymore?”
“Right. Now I’ve created something new called the Guardian Gate, and I’m the Gate Master there.”
“I see. Guardian Gate, huh. That’s a sect that doesn’t suit you at all. You can hide perfectly with that. And you… Imperial Guard Commander? You?”
An expression of disbelief.
“Where else could be as perfect a hiding place as the Imperial Palace?”
“True, that’s right. They’d never imagine it. I couldn’t imagine it either.”
“It’s as unimaginable as you making clothes.”
“That’s right.”
“But you got caught.”
“Huh?”
“I got caught too.”
“Huh?”
What did he mean by caught?
I could see a tense expression and anxious eyes.
“It’s not, right?”
“What’s not?”
“You said you got caught… The target… it’s not Dae-hyeong, right? You didn’t come to… capture me, did you?”
“That’s right.”
“Right? These damn traitors!”
Baek Ryeongso hurriedly tried to escape from there.
Creak-.
The door opened again.
Baek Ryeongso’s pupils shook violently.
The face he couldn’t forget even in his dreams was right before his eyes.
“It’s been a while.”
Baek Ryeongso spotted Jeok Wigang standing there with a grin.
“Gasp!”
He was so shocked that he choked on his breath.
Baek Ryeongso quickly grabbed the rope that was behind him.
Whirrrr-.
Along with the sound of something moving, Baek Ryeongso spoke.
“Dae-hyeong. I’m sorry, but let’s meet next time.”
“Where are you trying to go?”
“I’m sorry. I have somewhere I need to go.”
“You won’t be able to go.”
“This is a formation method I created for this day. Even Dae-hyeong would have to put in some effort to escape from it.”
“Really? But shouldn’t this be part of that formation?”
“Huh?”
A black gem held in Jeok Wigang’s hand.
“Isn’t it a formation that operates with the energy of the Heavenly General Meteorite?”
“Wh-when did you?”
“Why do you think I sent these guys in first?”
As expected, I couldn’t match him.
Then what could I do in this situation?
“Hehe! Dae-hyeong! Well, it was just a joke! You know, right? You know I’ve always loved pranks.”
“It was a joke? I was really surprised. I would have been truly disappointed if you were trying to run away from me again.”
“What hurtful words are those? Where would I go, leaving Dae-hyeong behind?”
“You ran away to avoid me before.”
“Th-that was… for my dream. Look. I came out because I wanted to make clothes like this. Really.”
I was desperate.
“Fine. I’ll let it slide this time.”
“Th-thank you.”
What?
He’s forgiving me this easily?
Getting away without being hit left me feeling somewhat unsettled.
Ye Yahyeon and Jin Muryang, who ghostly sensed that feeling, grinned and spoke to Jeok Wigang.
“That guy seems disappointed that he didn’t get to taste Dae-hyeong’s handiwork?”
“Hm? Really?”
At those words, Baek Ryeongso was startled and waved both hands frantically.
“N-no! I’m not disappointed at all!”
“I’ve gotten stronger than before, want to have a taste?”
What is this?
He was already ridiculously strong before, and now he’s gotten even stronger than that?
As I stared blankly at Jeok Wigang with a shocked face, Ye Yahyeon and Jin Muryang patted me.
“Why are you so surprised? You expected this, didn’t you?”
“How could you become even stronger than that?”
“It was possible, wasn’t it? Ah! I can use magic arts now too.”
“What?”
“It’s called the Five Elements Incantation Method. I modified Persia Kingdom’s magic in my own way.”
He had even created something entirely new.
“Dae-hyeong, there’s nothing I can’t do with magic arts. I can do everything now.”
What?
As I looked at Ye Yahyeon with that expression.
“What do you mean what? There’s nothing I can’t do anymore. I can do sound transmission now and infuse energy into formations too.”
“Did you develop a dantian?”
“No, I engraved formations into my heart.”
“What?”
“Well, let’s talk about the details slowly. I heard rumors that you make clothes really well?”
At Jeok Wigang’s words, Baek Ryeongso’s face contorted.
As expected, he got caught because of his fame.
He should have left this place.
“I want to sell your clothes.”
“What?”
What is he talking about now?
“Let’s make a contract.”
“What?”
“I became a trading company leader.”
“What?”
Baek Ryeongso kept being surprised.
“Other trading companies asked you to contract with them, but you refused them all, right?”
He knows all sorts of things.
“You did well. Thanks to that, you can come to me, right?”
I haven’t said I’d contract with you yet.
“Why? Don’t you like it?”
Jeok Wigang’s expression hardened.
At that, Baek Ryeongso flinched and quickly answered.
“What? Oh, no! I don’t dislike it. I’m just so happy about it.”
“Right?”
He wanted to cry.
At least the fortunate thing was that he could continue making clothes he liked?
Right.
That was something.
“But you…”
Baek Ryeongso tensed up.
What was he going to say now?
“The reason you set up shop in front of Chwihwaru… is it perhaps because of Cheonhyanghwa?”
“What? Oh, no it’s not.”
