| Chapter 33

“I know where Sa Yeo-un is headed.”

“Oh? Where did she say she was going?”

“She said she was going to Jinan.”

“The reason?”

Yoo Eun-hyun, who had been confidently sharing what he knew, suddenly hesitated at a thought that came to mind and closed his mouth.

‘What did Sa Yeo-un say in the first place? Didn’t she say it was because of an unwanted marriage?’

The one arranging that marriage was Sa Yeo-un’s father. And from what he heard, that father seemed to be the Maegyo leader, Sa Un-sik.

So Sa Un-sik was trying to arrange a marriage, and when it came to Sa Un-sik and marriage, Yoo Eun-hyun was quite familiar with that topic.

‘Don’t tell me… the target of that forced marriage is me? Has that old man lost his mind too? He’s trying to marry off his daughter to a farmer?’

And as Yoo Eun-hyun thought this, something else suddenly occurred to him.

‘Wait a minute. She definitely said… she was going to Jinan to kill that person, right? Near Jinan is… near our house, isn’t it? This must be real? Isn’t this dangerous? If I get caught, I’ll die!’

Though he wondered if she would really kill him, the Sa Yeo-un that Yoo Eun-hyun had seen was filled with sincerity. Even if it wasn’t real, as long as there was that possibility, he naturally didn’t want to meet her.

As Yoo Eun-hyun’s face turned pale with sudden fear, Son Jin-won pressed him with questions.

“What’s the reason for heading to Jinan?”

“Well, something about refusing a forced marriage, I think.”

“Marriage? Is he trying to recruit that hermit by offering his daughter? Anything else? Did she mention specifically who she was going to meet?”

“Well… I don’t know that much.”

Though Son Jin-won asked, Yoo Eun-hyun just kept his mouth tightly shut.

If he said more, he might end up confessing his own situation, so Yoo Eun-hyun thought it was better to keep quiet and shook his head.

Son Jin-won nodded at those words and surprisingly didn’t press further, simply nodding his head obediently.

“That makes sense. Since she was also hiding her identity, it would be stranger if she had said such things. But one question remains. Why did she reveal her name and freely talk about such personal matters to someone she just met?”

Son Jin-won muttered as if he understood but still had doubts. Yoo Eun-hyun, who had completely omitted the story about internal cultivation methods, flinched inwardly but kept his mouth shut.

“Rather, doesn’t that mean she’s not from Maegyo? If she talked about all this, she wouldn’t survive.”

But Gu Pyo muttered his thoughts as if thinking aloud. It sounded plausible, so Son Jin-won and Go Ji-hwan nodded.

“It’s hard to say she’s completely unrelated, but… she definitely seems to be a victim. Young Master Yoo, we apologize.”

Go Ji-hwan also seemed to summarize the situation that way and nodded. Son Jin-won turned back to Yoo Eun-hyun.

“Sorry for taking up your time unnecessarily. Well… this much shouldn’t go against Master’s words. Then if fate allows, let’s meet again someday. For a first meeting, it wasn’t too bad.”

For Yoo Eun-hyun it was naturally the worst, but he couldn’t openly say anything to their faces. He quietly turned his head, cursed inwardly, then spoke calmly as if nothing had happened.

“Then can I go back now?”

“Of course.”

He had to return as quickly as possible. Until yesterday, he had been lucky that Sa Yeo-un didn’t know information about that marriage partner, but he couldn’t know when the pursuers would arrive. If they had already arrived, they might be thoroughly searching this Taewon looking for Yoo Eun-hyun.

As Yoo Eun-hyun was getting up from his seat with such thoughts, the area near the door suddenly became noisy.

“What’s going on? Gu Pyo, go check.”

“Yes!”

Gu Pyo was equally curious, so he quickly opened the door and went out at Go Ji-hwan’s command.

“Both of you need to come outside!”

“What? You should tell us what’s happening first before telling us to come out or not!”

“Ah, it’s urgent enough that I’m saying this! Someone has attacked!”

“Who? Maegyo!?”

“It’s faster if you see for yourself!”

Since Gu Pyo spoke so urgently, Go Ji-hwan eventually followed Gu Pyo outside. Son Jin-won also followed with a stern expression.

Left alone for a moment, Yoo Eun-hyun looked at the window behind him and thought about sneaking out alone. Since they told him to go, he was free anyway, and whatever was happening, there was no need to get involved in a fight, right?

But Gu Pyo’s last mention of Maegyo bothered him.

‘Don’t tell me Yeo Un came here knowing I was here? Then sneaking out alone might be dangerous. Should I watch how the situation unfolds first?’

Having finished that thought, Yoo Eun-hyun followed Son Jin-won out of the room.

“Eun-hyun!”

And as soon as he left the room, before he could even assess the situation, the first thing Yoo Eun-hyun heard was Yeo U-hui’s voice.

Yeo U-hui was trampling a fallen man with her foot while pointing a sword at his throat, and behind her, Chae Eun-seol and Gong Si-hak were also emanating menacing auras.

Seeing this, Yoo Eun-hyun thought ‘Oh no.’ He had definitely said he would leave tomorrow, and that tomorrow was today. Since he hadn’t returned to Uiryun-gak and was caught here, it was natural for Yeo U-hui to worry.

And knowing Yeo U-hui’s personality, she wouldn’t just worry but would immediately gather information and act. This was exactly the current situation.

“Aunt?”

“You’re safe. You weren’t harmed, were you? Butler Gong, check him.”

As Yeo U-hui showed a relieved expression and spoke to Gong Si-hak, Gong Si-hak approached and began examining Yoo Eun-hyun’s body here and there.

“Fortunately, there are no injuries.”

“Really? That’s a relief at least. Then… shall we have a little talk with each other now?”

Since there seemed to be no serious injuries, Yeo U-hui nodded at Gong Si-hak’s words and spoke while still looking ahead with murderous eyes.

Then Son Jin-won silently stepped forward.

“I can see you’re not Maegyo followers… There aren’t many scary aunties like this in the martial arts world. Still, if you want to talk, shouldn’t you release that hostage? That’s how we can have a conversation.”

Whether it was because Yeo U-hui was emanating such a menacing aura, or because of the situation, Son Jin-won also had his face completely hardened. But Yeo U-hui snorted as if it was out of the question and began pressing down hard on the man she was pointing her sword at.

“The people who kidnapped someone in the first place are complaining about everything? No matter how shameless Jeongdo-in are supposed to be, I didn’t know it was to this extent. Be grateful that this guy is still alive. If my nephew had been seriously injured, he would have already become a departed soul.”

At Yeo U-hui’s words, Go Ji-hwan bristled and stepped forward.

“It wasn’t kidnapping, we just wanted to have a conversation!”

“A forced conversation is torture. Can you say there was no coercion at all? Should we change it from kidnapping to torture?”

“Hmm…”

Since he couldn’t say there was no coercion at all, Go Ji-hwan made a groaning sound as if he had nothing to say. Yeo U-hui smirked as if she expected this.

“But since my nephew is safe in the end, I’ll return this one safely too.”

Saying this, Yeo U-hui lifted her foot that was stepping on him and kicked the man away. Gu Pyo caught the man who flew through the air.

“Ugh!”

But the force was stronger than expected, and Gu Pyo groaned and was pushed back, hitting the wall.

Even then, Gu Pyo, who couldn’t completely absorb the force, trembled all over, and only when Son Jin-won approached and tapped Gu Pyo’s shoulder at pressure points did the trembling stop.

“Treat him.”

Gu Pyo took out emergency internal injury medicine with trembling hands and swallowed it, then examined the still unconscious man and was startled.

Despite receiving such a strong impact that pushed him back this far, the flying man had not a single wound or internal injury.

Gu Pyo gritted his teeth at this display of Yeo U-hui’s profound internal power, which allowed her to truly keep her word about returning him safely.

“Breaking into someone else’s residence and being so unreasonable. Your way of handling things is exactly my style. But while I like doing it myself, I don’t really like it when others do it. Shall we introduce ourselves first? I am Son Jin-won, the leader of Cheonya-dae of Cheonmu Alliance.”

“The Cheonya-dae leader? The second disciple of Alliance Leader Dojeon Ssangseon, Yacha Jinryong Son Jin-won?”

Indeed, at the mention of Son Jin-won, not only Yeo U-hui but also Chae Eun-seol and Gong Si-hak showed surprised expressions.

They knew these were people from Cheonmu Alliance, but they were surprised that he was a bigger figure than expected.

“I am Yeo U-hui of Uiseonsu-ga.”

Then Yeo U-hui also calmed her excitement and gave her name. This time, the expressions of Son Jin-won, Go Ji-hwan, and Gu Pyo changed. They also knew of Yeo U-hui.

From the time Yoo Eun-hyun stayed at Uiryun-gak, they had considered the possibility of a connection to Uiseonsu-ga, but a bigger figure than expected had come.

“You’re the famous female external affairs manager of Uiseonsu-ga. I’ve heard much about you. We’ve been greatly indebted to your side, haven’t we?”

Since Yeo U-hui often traveled outside, conflicts with martial artists were unavoidable.

Being neutral, she tended to cause trouble regardless of Jeongdo or Mado, and given Yeo U-hui’s personality of not being one to talk things out, she didn’t have good reviews from either side.

“I’ve never dealt with anyone unless they picked a fight first.”

“Of course. Thanks to the Mado-in who fell to your hands, our work became much easier.”

Son Jin-won’s way of speaking was so subtle that it was unclear whether he was being hostile or supportive. But Yeo U-hui snorted once as if she wouldn’t be swayed by such tricks and raised her sword to point it at Son Jin-won.

“I didn’t come to hear such stories. You must have a proper reason for kidnapping my nephew?”

“Nephew?”

If he was a nephew, it was an intimate relationship, and the people around a master of Yeo U-hui’s level were somewhat investigated. Especially someone of Yoo Eun-hyun’s young age with that level of ability would be a person of interest.

Son Jin-won looked at Go Ji-hwan just in case, but Go Ji-hwan also shook his head as if he hadn’t heard anything. Son Jin-won also frowned.

“I admit our methods were a bit rough, but since it’s related to Maegyo, it couldn’t be helped. You’ll understand, won’t you?”

As Son Jin-won said this while glaring at Yeo U-hui with sharp eyes, Yeo U-hui’s expression hardened.

Of course, Yeo U-hui also knew that Cheonmu Alliance was strict only about Maegyo, so she didn’t want to make this matter bigger unnecessarily.

But just as Cheonmu Alliance showed no mercy in matters involving Maegyo, Uiseonsu-ga was also famous for making no concessions when it came to matters involving family members.

“A bit rough? So are you saying you did well now? When you should apologize even if it’s not enough, it sounds like you’re just making excuses.”

“It’s not an excuse but the truth. Besides, we have proper reasons on our side, so I don’t think there’s any reason to apologize.”

The atmosphere between the two was becoming murderous, to the point where it felt like their gazes were clashing and burning in mid-air.

Yacha Jinryong Son Jin-won was already a formidable figure whose reputation shook the martial arts world despite his young age, being called a dragon. And contrary to his small, cute appearance, he was famous for his unpredictable personality that earned him the name Yacha, especially his inability to tolerate being disrespected.

However, Yeo U-hui also couldn’t back down in this matter as a senior of the martial arts world and as the external chief administrator of Euiseonsu-ga, no matter who her opponent was.

Yeo U-hui knew better than anyone that once you’re looked down upon, it takes even greater effort and strength to recover from that.

“Just because we understand your circumstances doesn’t mean there’s any reason we should ignore all of our circumstances as well.”

Therefore, Yeo U-hui also spoke calmly with murderous eyes, as if she wouldn’t back down either.

Son Jin-won also confronted Yeo U-hui’s attitude and gradually increased the pressure.

“The person involved isn’t just any Maegyo follower, but Sa Yeo-un. The daughter of Cheonse Hyeonma Sa Un-sik. Did you know that?”

“…Sa Yeo-un?”

And when an unexpectedly big name came out of Son Jin-won’s mouth, Yeo U-hui’s expression instantly hardened.
