| Chapter 89

“Now you can each go to your assigned areas. If you have any questions, feel free to ask anytime.”

“Understood.”

The workers who had arrived at the wheat field quickly scattered to their respective areas. Behind Yoo Eun-hyun, who was watching them, Mo Cheol-dong quietly approached.

“Don’t be nervous. Just do as you’ve been doing.”

“What do you mean by that?”

“You seem worried, so I’m just saying. Your face has been all stiff since earlier.”

At the same time, Mo Cheol-dong mimicked Yoo Eun-hyun’s expression. When Yoo Eun-hyun smiled slightly, Mo Cheol-dong seemed relieved and continued speaking.

“Just don’t say anything unnecessary. Most troubles start from the mouth. If you just keep your mouth shut, there won’t be any reason to earn unnecessary hatred.”

Yoo Eun-hyun nodded silently. At this, Mo Cheol-dong grinned and patted his shoulder.

“And didn’t they say young people are coming? Haven’t you heard that all martial artists are peerless beauties? You’ll get a real feast for the eyes. When else would farmers like us get to see the beauties of the martial arts world?”

At Mo Cheol-dong’s words, sinister smiles bloomed among the young people nearby. In contrast, Yoo Eun-hyun only wore a lukewarm expression. Among the martial artists Yoo Eun-hyun knew, there weren’t such people.

“Just in case, let me say this – no matter how pretty they are, you should only look appropriately. If you keep glancing around and make eye contact…”

Saying this while lowering his voice, Mo Cheol-dong raised his hand like a blade and brought it to his throat.

“This is what will obviously happen.”

Not only Mo Cheol-dong but several other people nodded in agreement. Seeing that they all wore meaningful smiles, it seemed such incidents had actually occurred.

‘If you die from staring, there’s no death more futile than that.’

While Yoo Eun-hyun didn’t have much to worry about, he had no intention of causing problems either. Finishing his thoughts, he led Mo Cheol-dong toward the wheat field where the workers were.

“Alright, we need to finish by tomorrow, so let’s move a bit quickly!”

After encouraging the people, Yoo Eun-hyun soon jumped into the wheat field himself.

During a brief break time. While eating lunch and resting in the shade, Yoo Eun-hyun asked Mo Cheol-dong.

“What time do they usually come? I’d rather they came and went quickly.”

Yoo Eun-hyun narrowed his eyes. That was because several people were looking around nervously and couldn’t properly focus on their work. Mo Cheol-dong glanced toward the entrance and tilted his head.

“Well… That’s strange. Most of the time they came during the morning, looked around for about an hour, then returned.”

“Aren’t they coming today?”

“I don’t think so. They’ve never failed to come even once so far.”

As soon as Mo Cheol-dong finished speaking, Yoo Eun-hyun also turned his head to look toward the field entrance. That’s when it happened.

“Just in time, there they come.”

Sure enough, a group was approaching this way. At the front was Byeon Ak with a very tense face, and quite a number of people were following behind him. When Byeon Ak spotted Yoo Eun-hyun who hadn’t started working yet, he urgently gestured with his hands.

“We’ve rested enough, let’s start working!”

At Yoo Eun-hyun’s shout, people went back down to the wheat field and began working. And not long after, the people revealed themselves. Yoo Eun-hyun, who stood before them, bowed his head politely.

“So, are you doing well?”

“Yes. Today we’re working on harvesting wheat.”

‘Four people… No, five people.’

Without lifting his head, Yoo Eun-hyun gauged the number of people just by the energy he could sense. Excluding Byeon Ak, there were five people total. One of them had an energy he had felt once before.

‘Chang Hae, wasn’t it. He seems to be in charge of force in situations like this.’

While the others didn’t seem to pay particular attention to individual farmers, Yoo Eun-hyun felt that Chang Hae was subtly watching him.

It wasn’t that he was openly sending glances. He could only vaguely sense that Chang Hae’s energy was focused in his direction.

‘Is he still suspicious because of the previous incident? This won’t do – I can’t work too enthusiastically either.’

Finishing his thoughts, Yoo Eun-hyun deliberately bowed respectfully toward them once more.

“Then I’ll go back to work now.”

Yoo Eun-hyun soon naturally blended into the crowd of people. Working alone and apart would only make him stand out unnecessarily. Just as the saying goes about hiding a tree in a forest, to hide a person, you must hide among people.

As Yoo Eun-hyun approached the workers, the sound of people whispering soon reached his ears clearly.

“Are those people martial artists?”

“I guess so. Wow, they’re really all handsome men and beautiful women?”

“I thought Geumhyang from Nokheang-ru was the most beautiful woman under heaven, but it seems that’s not even close?”

When had they managed to sneak glances while working? They were already evaluating appearances.

Still, they weren’t blatantly staring, and their hands were moving busily, so Yoo Eun-hyun didn’t bother to stop them. He too naturally blended among the others while moving his hands.

“Is that so?”

Though he wasn’t particularly interested, Yoo Eun-hyun also casually asked back, pretending to be curious. When he joined in, people seemed even more excited and poured out their words.

“Team Leader Yeo, did you see the person at the very back? I only glanced briefly but my eyes were so dazzled I was in trouble. I thought I might go blind like this.”

“That’s right. Even calling her a beauty isn’t enough. I wonder if such a person can actually exist in reality.”

“…That much?”

At this point, Yoo Eun-hyun began to feel slightly curious too. His deliberate lack of interest was only to avoid unnecessary suspicion. It certainly wasn’t because he had no interest in handsome men and beautiful women. Where would you find a man with no interest in beauties? He couldn’t help but become interested.

‘Anyway, everyone’s sneaking glances… It should be fine for me to look once too, right? Acting like I’m the only one not interested might actually make me stand out.’

Just as he was convincing himself this way and about to slightly lift his bowed head.

A conversation among the martial artists reached his ears.

“This is boring. They’re just cutting some unknown grass, so why do we have to just watch this?”

“Haha. Miss Baek So-eun. That’s called wheat. When you grind it, it becomes flour.”

“Who doesn’t know that? Show-off.”

The grumbling voice of the woman called Baek So-eun could be heard. Just as he was about to turn his head, wondering if that woman was the peerless beauty people were talking about, once again, a familiar voice pierced his ears.

“Learning farming makes your martial arts improve. What nonsense. Anyway, I can never understand Father.”

A speech pattern he seemed to have heard somewhere. And that unforgettable voice. That sound pierced his eardrums like a blade and struck his mind.

“Hahaha. Miss Yeo Un, you’re quite good at joking.”

And the moment he heard the name Yeo Un at the end. Yoo Eun-hyun was about to turn his head but suddenly bent his body down like someone hit by a pressure point attack.

‘This is crazy. Why is she here?’

For a moment, his mind went blank as if his breath was cut off.

‘No, since Mageodo is her home, it’s not strange that she’s here. It’s natural that she’s here… But why here? Why this farm of all places?’

Yoo Eun-hyun’s mind became endlessly confused. He had never even imagined that he would encounter Sa Yeo-un in this place.

Of course, since he had decided to head to Mageodo, he hadn’t completely ruled out the possibility of meeting her someday. But at least he had never dared to anticipate a situation like this – meeting without any preparation.

‘How am I supposed to meet someone who came to kill me here! And by now she must know that I lied too!’

And what was even more frightening was that he had no idea what Sa Yeo-un would do when she discovered Yoo Eun-hyun. At that thought, Yoo Eun-hyun’s spine seemed to turn cold.

Many thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant after that, but the conclusion was one.

‘I absolutely must not encounter her now.’

Still, there was one fortunate point. Sa Yeo-un wasn’t paying any attention to the side where Yoo Eun-hyun was yet.

“No, Team Leader Yeo… Why are you suddenly smearing dirt all over yourself like that?”

“The sunlight seems a bit hot.”

Yoo Eun-hyun acted nonchalant as he picked up dirt from the ground and rubbed it on his face and neck. When someone asked as if it was strange, he calmly offered an excuse. It was a poor excuse, but it was the best he could do for now.

‘This should be enough that she won’t recognize me.’

He deliberately focused more earnestly on his work, afraid that their eyes might meet. Fortunately, Sa Yeo-un and the other Mageodo people also seemed to pay no particular attention to individual workers.

‘If they’re not interested in farming, they wouldn’t be interested in farmers. They look like they’re being forced to study something they hate.’

Yoo Eun-hyun could finally catch his breath little by little. As the confusion subsided, the conversation he had heard earlier came back to mind.

‘They definitely said they were learning martial arts by watching farming. It’s obvious whose idea that is. The Great Master isn’t quite right in the head either.’

He didn’t need to hear more to know whose head that idea came from. After all, Sa Un-sik had actually gained something from watching Yoo Eun-hyun farm before. It seemed he was expecting someone to gain enlightenment by conducting large-scale farming like this.

‘If all that worked, every farmer under heaven would be a potential martial arts master. Still, you’d need to have at least some interest in farming like Brother Dong to get something out of it.’

While thinking this way, two hours passed quickly. And finally, Sa Yeo-un’s group stood up to leave. Since the work was almost at the finishing stage, Yoo Eun-hyun let out a long breath inwardly in relief at not being caught.

‘They said they come every half month? In half a month, it’ll be more than a month later… I won’t encounter her then. Yeo Un doesn’t seem to come often anyway, and since there are several farms, there won’t be a chance to meet again.’

Just as he was reassuring himself this way. Mo Cheol-dong’s voice came from behind.

“Team Leader Yeo, do you have a moment?”
