| Chapter 92

“Miss Yeo Un seems to know that person.”

At Yeo Chang-dong’s question, Sa Yeo-un stared at him intently as if trying to gauge his intentions.

“I don’t know him. He just looks similar to someone I know.”

“For that to be the case, he showed clear signs of fear when he saw you, didn’t he?”

“That’s why I was trying to confirm it, but I let him slip away! You didn’t even go after him!”

As Sa Yeo-un grumbled irritably, Yeo Chang-dong burst into laughter as if he had expected this.

“There’s an easier and more certain method, so there’s no need to waste time and manpower unnecessarily, is there? I even have a clue.”

Yeo Chang-dong’s words weren’t wrong either.

Deploying Cheonra Jimang consumed more enormous manpower and resources than one might think. Moreover, the easiest and fastest method in tracking wasn’t to chase after the target, but to anticipate where they would go and wait there. If they could find a place connected to the target, it would be even easier to locate them.

“What’s this clue you’re talking about?”

“This.”

Yeo Chang-dong lifted the wine bottle he was holding. Sa Yeo-un tilted her head upon seeing it.

“That’s not the gourd bottle you carry around every day. Did you finally graduate from flower tea?”

“Hardly. This is the wine that person left behind. Such precious wine can’t be easily fabricated. Using this as a clue to track him down, we should be able to find him more easily than expected.”

“What did he say the wine was called?”

“He called it Doyangju. Of course, this could also be a lie, but…”

When the name Doyangju came up, Sa Yeo-un’s expression hardened. Her gaze naturally turned toward the mountain where Yoo Eun-hyun had disappeared.

“So this is how it comes out, is it.”

It was a voice that leaked out quietly. That murmur contained a strange resonance. Rather than simple anger, it was closer to the look of someone becoming certain of something. Yeo Chang-dong, who didn’t miss that reaction, slowly smiled.

“Would you like to have some tea after a long time? Some quite decent chrysanthemum tea came in.”

The meaning of those words was clear. Since there were several people around including Chang Hae, it was a signal to talk separately.

“Good. I happen to have something to say too.”

Sa Yeo-un nodded briefly. Yeo Chang-dong looked around and raised his voice slightly.

“As you can see, this matter has been assigned to me and the young lady. Since it’s still a time that requires organization, please keep your mouths sealed until the organization is complete.”

He had essentially told Chang Hae and Baek So-eun’s group to keep quiet. With those words, Yeo Chang-dong left with Sa Yeo-un, and the remaining people looked at each other awkwardly for a moment before dispersing one by one. Since no one properly understood the situation to begin with, there was no way they could speak up.

Having safely shaken off the Maegyo followers, Yoo Eun-hyun immediately activated his lightness skill and began running over the mountain.

Choosing a mountain in the completely opposite direction from Chengdu was to confuse any possible pursuit.

After traversing the mountains for some time, he finally discovered a large lake where the flow of natural energy was particularly rough and densely concentrated. He immediately hid behind a large rock nearby.

That was precisely why he had deliberately fled to the mountains. While it would be difficult to use such methods in villages or cities where natural energy was thin, he was confident he could hide his body anywhere in the mountains.

Yoo Eun-hyun, who had been catching his breath for a moment, narrowed his eyes.

“There’s no sign of pursuit at all.”

In these deep mountains, even the slightest human movement would subtly disturb the flow of natural energy. He could detect an opponent’s approach in advance through those changes. However, no matter how much time passed, there was no sign of anyone chasing him. Just in case, he stayed in position for nearly half a hour more, observing the situation. When there was still no change, he even deliberately exposed himself a little.

“Why aren’t they chasing me?”

Honestly speaking, there was no reason for them not to chase him.

That’s why Yoo Eun-hyun found that point even more suspicious.

“Could it be that Yeo Un recognized me?”

He fell into thought for a moment.

“No. That still doesn’t make sense. With her personality, whether to kill or spare me, she wouldn’t just leave me alone.”

However, the surroundings remained quiet.

Eventually, Yoo Eun-hyun brushed off the dirt on his body and began moving carefully. Thinking he might need to hide again if the situation suddenly changed, he chose a route that took a wide detour around the mountain path. But even until he almost left the mountain, no pursuit appeared.

“I even deliberately suppressed and hid my martial energy a bit… Did that work?”

The decisive blow he had dealt to Chang Hae, Blood Wave Calamity – Thunder Chaos, was originally a technique that spread using scattered blood droplets as its core. However, martial arts using blood were almost nonexistent in the world, and Eohyeol Sanhong in particular left traces that were too clear even with a single use. So Yoo Eun-hyun had simply used dirt particles as the core instead of blood droplets to conceal his identity. Even taking Chang Hae’s attack was a calculated choice to draw blood.

“They might come in groups later, so let’s head back for now.”

Muttering as he moved his steps, Yoo Eun-hyun suddenly fell into thought.

‘What if assassins suddenly storm into Chengdu.’

The ominous thought filling his head was brief, as Yoo Eun-hyun soon shook his head.

‘Ah, forget it. What’s the point of worrying about something that hasn’t happened. It’s my loss.’

In fact, he wasn’t even certain whether Sa Yeo-un had recognized him. There was no way to confirm it either.

Eventually, he didn’t continue his thoughts further and moved his steps toward Chengdu where Ju Yu-ryeon and Ho Won would be waiting.

Yeo Chang-dong headed to his quarters with Sa Yeo-un to have their conversation. The room where he stayed was so cramped it wasn’t much different from the room Yoo Eun-hyun had used during his squad leader days. Moreover, the room was packed with flowers dried for making flower tea and flowers preserved in honey, making it feel too cramped for two people to enter.

As soon as the door opened, Sa Yeo-un’s face immediately contorted.

“Let’s just talk outside.”

Before she could finish speaking, Sa Yeo-un covered her nose and turned around to go outside. Yeo Chang-dong stood there dumbfounded for a moment, then scratched his head and sighed. Soon he boiled water, floated a few chrysanthemum flowers, and came outside carrying the teacup.

“Come now, miss. Is that what you say as soon as we meet after 2 years? This is clearly a flower fragrance.”

“The flower fragrance isn’t bad. It’s quiet and nice. But there’s something that covers and overwhelms even that. The person himself never knows about this kind of thing.”

Sa Yeo-un continued while wrinkling her nose.

“So please get married, brother. You’re already late, do you have time to be doing this here?”

Sa Yeo-un grumbled carelessly. But that was brief, as she soon added.

“Well, I’m not in a position to say anything to others about marriage.”

She let out a long sigh. When marriage talk came up, getting a headache was the same for her as well. Yeo Chang-dong chuckled briefly and replied.

“Indeed. I didn’t expect you to bring up such a topic first, miss.”

“That’s not completely unrelated to today’s story.”

At those words, Yeo Chang-dong’s eyes subtly wavered. It was a look of interest.

“The story seems quite interesting. Please have some tea first.”

Sa Yeo-un received the teacup. The chrysanthemum tea had cooled to an appropriate temperature and was spreading a subtle fragrance. A faint smile appeared on Sa Yeo-un’s lips as she took a sip.

“Mm. It’s still good even after a long time.”

“Chrysanthemum has cooling properties, so even when hot, drinking it actually makes your insides feel refreshed. That mysterious taste is quite nice.”

“Phew… It definitely feels calming.”

Sa Yeo-un exhaled.

“Actually, it’s not really a story that needs to be told calmly.”

She emptied about half the teacup and set it down beside her. Sitting with her legs crossed, she looked straight at Yeo Chang-dong.

“You know I have a fiancé, right?”

“I’ve heard roughly about it.”

“And that father arranged it.”

“Yes.”

Sa Yeo-un closed her mouth briefly, then continued.

“Anyway, I had no intention of just staying still. If he’s someone I’m supposed to marry, it’s natural to find out about him to some extent.”

“That’s perfectly reasonable.”

“But most of it was information that flowed from father.”

Sa Yeo-un tapped the edge of the teacup with her finger.

“One of those things was Doyangju.”

Yeo Chang-dong’s expression hardened.

“…I see.”

“Father bragged about it tremendously. That it was wine personally brewed by my fiancé.”

Sa Yeo-un’s gaze narrowed.

“But tell me. What was the name of the guy who just left that Doyangju behind?”

“He said Yeo Geum-hyeon.”

“Right. Yeo Geum-hyeon.”

Sa Yeo-un’s lips twisted.

“The name of the fiancé I heard is Yoo Eun-hyun. Yeo Geum-hyeon, Yoo Eun-hyun… Doesn’t something seem strange?”

Yeo Chang-dong slowly repeated the two names.

“The wine could be possessed by someone other than the person himself.”

It was Yeo Chang-dong’s characteristically cautious tone.

“However, if the face is also familiar as you mentioned, miss…”

“Right. That’s why I’m more convinced.”

Sa Yeo-un interjected. A brief silence followed.

“…That possibility is sufficient. But one thing bothers me.”

Sa Yeo-un’s gaze sharpened. Yeo Chang-dong slowly opened his mouth.

“Do you know… the reason why Gyoju-nim wanted to make that man your betrothed?”

Even after finishing his words, Yeo Chang-dong’s gaze did not leave Sa Yeo-un.
