| Chapter 111

“Do we not need to follow them?”

“It should be fine. They said it’s not far from here.”

Ho Won answered with a smack of his lips as if it was no big deal. And rightfully so, since the two of them didn’t even know where to get the disguise items that martial artists use. If they followed, they would only be a burden, and moreover, moving around in a group would easily attract attention.

Yoo Eun-hyun seemed convinced by Ho Won’s words for a moment, but then suddenly narrowed his eyes.

“But somehow I have a bad feeling about this.”

It was because Ju Yu-ryeon seemed strangely excited, unlike her usual self. Seeing Yoo Eun-hyun tilt his head in confusion, Ho Won let out a hollow laugh and said.

“Brother. You’re worrying for nothing. Sister may be a bit mischievous, but she’s not the type to play pranks with something like this.”

Ho Won patted Yoo Eun-hyun’s back as he said this. He didn’t forget to put on a confident expression as if telling him to trust him. But the more he did so, the more uneasy Yoo Eun-hyun felt for some reason.

‘I wonder if that’s really true…’

*

“Kids, I’m back.”

And in less than an hour, Ju Yu-ryeon returned. Seeing Ju Yu-ryeon humming as she approached from afar, Yoo Eun-hyun frowned. Then he nudged Ho Won and said.

“Won Jik. Do you see what she’s holding in her hands?”

“Ah, that’s…”

Ho Won’s gaze turned to the clothes in Ju Yu-ryeon’s hands. What she was holding was none other than women’s clothing. And not just one set, but two sets. Yoo Eun-hyun clicked his tongue as if he had expected this obvious situation.

“See? What did I tell you? I said I had a bad feeling.”

“Surely she’s not thinking of making us wear those?”

“No way. Looking at the size of the clothes, one seems like it’s for Yu-ryeon to wear.”

“Then what about the remaining one?”

At Ho Won’s question, Yoo Eun-hyun stared at him quietly. He didn’t say anything, but his eyes seemed to contain much meaning.

“…Brother. Should we run away even now?”

“It’s already too late.”

Yoo Eun-hyun gestured with his chin. At the end of it stood Ju Yu-ryeon, who had somehow approached the two of them. She smiled sweetly at Ho Won and said.

“Won Jik. The secret of disguise lies in changing one’s gender. If you only deceive the outward appearance, you’ll be found out quickly. The most reliable method is to completely transform a man into a woman.”

At the same time, Ju Yu-ryeon showed a sinister smile. Horrified by this, Ho Won waved his hands and stepped back.

“S-Sister! Wait a moment! While a woman can disguise as a man and claim to be a handsome young man, it’s not easy for a man to look like a proper lady even if he dresses as a woman! No matter how small my build is, this is too much!”

“It’s fine. With your level, Won Jik, unless someone has sharp eyes, they won’t easily recognize you.”

When Ju Yu-ryeon didn’t even pretend to listen, Ho Won sent a pleading look to Yoo Eun-hyun for help. But Yoo Eun-hyun, far from helping, wasn’t even looking at Ho Won anymore. He only cast an annoyed glance as if telling him to handle it himself.

“I’ll wait here, so go inside, get ready, and come out.”

“B-Brother! How can you do this! I can’t do it! …Brother!!!!!”

Leaving behind a desperate scream, Ho Won was dragged into the room. Shortly after, his screams from inside gradually died down like death throes.

And after about another half hour had passed, Yoo Eun-hyun entered the room when Ju Yu-ryeon called him to come in.

“How is it? This is my masterpiece.”

“Oh… Not bad?”

Ju Yu-ryeon puffed out her chest and spoke confidently. She had good reason to be so confident, as Ho Won’s female disguise suited him quite well. Though he wasn’t particularly short, his naturally thin frame actually came alive with a graceful figure when curves were added to his chest and hips. When his somewhat gloomy eyes were refined with makeup, combined with his straight nose and thin lips, he had transformed into quite a pure-looking beauty.

“Wow. Since your face is different from Eun-hyun’s, the result is different too. Indeed, the completion of cross-dressing depends on the face.”

Ju Yu-ryeon seemed satisfied as she laughed, even leaning back. Regardless, Yoo Eun-hyun tapped Ho Won’s shoulder and asked.

“Hey. Won Jik. Are you okay?”

Ho Won, who had been looking in the mirror, slowly turned his head. His face looked somewhat dazed. Yoo Eun-hyun lightly patted Ho Won’s shoulder to comfort him. After a moment, Yoo Eun-hyun asked Ju Yu-ryeon.

“Everything’s ready, right? Let’s go to the Dang Family now.”

“Ah. I actually had something to say about that. While I was buying the disguise clothes, I heard that we should probably move carefully. According to the merchants, the area is unusually bustling.”

“Then it would be better to avoid using lightness skills and move normally.”

“Yes, that would be better. Rather than hiding and arousing suspicion, it would be easier to naturally come and go while disguised.”

“Alright. Let’s depart.”

Having decided this, the three people gathered their belongings and left the inn.

*

There was quite a distance from the inn to the Dang Family.

The group led by Yoo Eun-hyun stepped onto the street and carefully walked toward the Dang Family, being cautious not to stand out.

“Won Jik. Walk more modestly. Keep your legs together too. I hate seeing you waddle around.”

“Ugh. What do you want me to do? This is my first time wearing something like this.”

Ho Won grumbled at Ju Yu-ryeon’s warning, but seeing him cover his mouth as he smiled and lower his voice, he seemed to have the will to hide his identity.

The three people seemed to be heading to the Dang Family without any particular problems, but their expressions gradually began to harden.

“It seems like they’re following us, doesn’t it?”

At Ju Yu-ryeon’s whispered question as they walked quietly, Yoo Eun-hyun also nodded without showing any awkward signs.

“The gazes that were scattered seem to be concentrating on us…”

“What should we do? It would be troublesome if more gather.”

“How about using lightness skills to escape?”

“It won’t be easy because of Won Jik. Since he’s in women’s clothing, vigorous movements would be difficult.”

When Yoo Eun-hyun glanced at Ho Won at Ju Yu-ryeon’s words, Ho Won made a tearful expression. Indeed, wearing unfamiliar women’s clothes with additional fabric padding, there was no way he could move properly. Also, since they couldn’t clearly know the opponent’s intentions yet, hastily throwing off the women’s clothing might be a worse choice than not doing anything.

“Then let’s subtly change direction first. If they realize we’re not heading to the Dang Family, they won’t pay attention to us, and then we can secretly change direction and head to the Dang Family again.”

“What if they keep following us?”

“Then we’ll have to stop. They must have business with us, so let’s hear what it’s about.”

When Yoo Eun-hyun nodded, Ju Yu-ryeon, who was leading, quickened her pace slightly and turned onto a path in a completely different direction from the Dang Family. As Ju Yu-ryeon led them out of Chengdu toward increasingly secluded areas, Yoo Eun-hyun poked her back again.

“Why are you going to a secluded place?”

“If we’re going to do it, we should do it thoroughly. This way they won’t be able to guess where we’re going.”

Ju Yu-ryeon’s words did make sense. At this, Ho Won, who had been quiet, objected with an anxious voice.

“But if something goes wrong, won’t we have no way out? It would be easier to run around where there are more people.”

“Surely they wouldn’t attack us outright?”

“For that to be true, the tracking continues, so I’m anxious.”

Indeed, as Ho Won said, the number of gazes they had felt since leaving the inn had not decreased at all and continued to follow the three people.

“Why are they following us? Who could it be?”

“Well. It’s most likely the Cheonmu Alliance.”

Ju Yu-ryeon responded quietly to Yoo Eun-hyun’s muttering, but the three didn’t have time to examine those words deeply. People were gradually closing in on them.

“Stop.”

At that moment, men with their faces covered by black cloth, showing only their eyes, appeared one by one and surrounded the three people. Yoo Eun-hyun was slightly tense as he gauged the martial arts level of those blocking their surroundings.

‘They’re quite strong martial artists… Their basic level is high.’

Basically, they all seemed to be between second-rate and first-rate, and some appeared to be scattered among them who were no different from first-rate masters.

Since the elite of major sects were typically first-rate masters, this could be considered quite elite.

And Ju Yu-ryeon was also carefully observing them as if trying to identify their identity, while Ho Won was crouched down, observing them with what seemed like genuine or acted fear.

“Brother… They seem like Ma-gyo.”

After examining several people, Ho Won approached behind Yoo Eun-hyun and whispered quietly so only the two could hear. Yoo Eun-hyun glanced at Ju Yu-ryeon without any response.

“It seems right. Actually, I’m not certain either, but Jeongdo doesn’t conduct business this way. It can only be Ma-gyo.”

In Yoo Eun-hyun’s opinion, if these were from the Cheonmu Alliance, they would have approached openly like during the Jang Deok-hyeong or Hwa Jin incident, not come wearing masks like this.

“Do you have business with us?”

Since they weren’t attacking outright but were speaking to them, Yoo Eun-hyun also asked what their business was. Though the atmosphere suggested they might charge at any wrong word, he had to do what needed to be done.

“We have orders to bring you. It would be best if you come along quietly.”

It was closer to a unilateral notification than a request. There was not even a hint that they would explain the situation, but Yoo Eun-hyun didn’t back down and asked again.

“For what reason?”

“You’ll find out when you come along.”

Though Yoo Eun-hyun asked again, the man only repeated his words as if he had no intention of telling them.

‘This feeling, could it be…’

At that moment, the image of Gu Jung-ho spitting blood and muttering about mission completion suddenly flashed through Yoo Eun-hyun’s mind. But immediately shaking off that memory with a light shake of his head, Yoo Eun-hyun lowered his voice and spoke to Ju Yu-ryeon and Ho Won.

“It seems like we shouldn’t follow them?”

“If it’s Ma-gyo… that would be right.”

“Then let’s break through. We have no choice.”

Yoo Eun-hyun also agreed with Ju Yu-ryeon’s opinion and nodded. Ho Won, who heard the two’s conversation, muttered with an anxious voice.

“B-break through? Fighting Ma-gyo is a bit much for me…”

“You don’t have to fight. Since you’re even disguised, you won’t be discovered. Stay back.”

“As if that’s up to me…”

Ho Won looked at the Maegyo Followers surrounding them and spoke in a still anxious voice. And for good reason, as several masked individuals were already approaching Ho Won’s direction. After briefly surveying the surroundings, Yoo Eun-hyun spoke to Ju Yu-ryeon.

“Yu-ryeon, you stay close to Won Jik.”

“You’re going to do it alone? Will you be okay?”

At Ju Yu-ryeon’s worried words, Yoo Eun-hyun smiled broadly.

“Don’t worry. It doesn’t seem like it’ll be too difficult.”
