Chapter 69
“I need to go downstairs, so could you move aside?”
“Shh! You can’t!”
“Downstairs is a restricted area right now! If you go down, your life could be in danger!”
“Huh?”
When Im Cheong tilted her head as if asking what that meant, Jeon Hye-yun and Ma A-jin gestured for her to come closer.
As Im Cheong brought her ear close, Jeon Hye-yun explained on behalf of the group.
“You know Prince Lee’s bodyguard who came yesterday?”
Nod.
“He’s having a private meeting with our Leader.”
“So what?”
Just as Im Cheong’s eyes were about to roll back, Ma A-jin quickly added.
“It means the atmosphere is unusual. Why are you so clueless?”
“Is Gwi-nyeo being clueless anything new?”
When Yun Ha-ram from behind sarcastically chimed in, Im Cheong glared at him and threw a hand chop.
“But that person is really the heir of Mageum Cheon-ga, right?”
“Yeah, it’s strange. Why would someone who’s the heir of the Cheon family be working as a bodyguard?”
“Well, everyone must have their circumstances.”
“Everyone’s been praising his excellent character.”
“Now that I look at him, he has a handsome face too.”
The disciples each made a comment, seemingly fascinated by directly meeting Cheon-gang, whom they had only heard about through rumors.
“What are you all doing here?”
Just then, Yang Ha-rin came out of her guest room and approached them.
“What are you hiding and watching?”
The sight of them all crouched together at the entrance to the stairs, whispering, looked extremely suspicious.
“Huh? It’s Cheon-gang oppa and Seo-ryeon unnie, I mean, our Leader. But why are you spying like this?”
“…Cheon-gang oppa?”
At Yang Ha-rin’s familiar way of addressing him, the gazes of the three witches and Yun Ha-ram turned simultaneously.
“Are you close with Prince Lee’s bodyguard?”
“I’ve seen him often.”
“Then explain that atmosphere.”
Ma A-jin pointed downstairs with her finger, urging her.
“Atmosphere?”
Yang Ha-rin found it difficult to understand at first. Then she suddenly seemed to remember something and asked back.
“Wait, unnies, don’t you know?”
“Know what?”
“What don’t we know?”
“Huh?”
“This isn’t really the right situation to ask, but are you all lifelong singles?”
Yang Ha-rin nodded knowingly and clicked her tongue.
“Lifelong singles?”
“What’s that?”
“Why does your pronunciation sound like that?”
“I heard from Seolha unnie too, that’s what you call people who have never dated since birth.”
“Then that’s me.”
“Me too.”
“Huh.”
“Ahem.”
Following the three witches’ affirmations, Yun Ha-ram covered his mouth with his fist and coughed quietly.
“No wonder you don’t know anything. What should we do with our unnies?”
“Hey! Are you going to keep confusing us?”
“What is it that we don’t know!”
“Wow, you still don’t get it? These unnies are really in trouble!”
“Do you want to see what real trouble looks like?”
“I won’t go easy on you just because you’re young. Hehe!”
“We witches don’t need that kind of thing!”
As Yang Ha-rin kept talking nonsense without properly explaining, the three witches’ eyes flashed.
Yang Ha-rin had no choice but to sigh and answer.
“Our Leader is dating, you know.”
“…Huh?”
“Dating?”
“Our Leader… is dating?”
“With whom?”
“Don’t tell me with that bodyguard?”
“No way, that’s impossible.”
“How could our Leader abandon us…!”
“Wasn’t the entire Phoenix Corps supposed to be one body?”
The three witches trembled with a sense of betrayal for some reason.
“Oh ho, as expected of our Leader. There’s nothing she can’t do.”
Only Yun Ha-ram smiled with satisfaction, as if he had expected this.
“Can I go now then?”
Before anyone could stop her, Yang Ha-rin quickly went down the stairs.
“Cheon-gang oppa!”
“Oh, hey there, Ha-rin.”
When Yang Ha-rin’s voice was heard, Cheon-gang immediately looked up and greeted her warmly.
Yesterday they had only exchanged brief greetings due to various busy matters.
After Seolha and Seo-ryeon, Cheon-gang was the person Yang Ha-rin felt most comfortable with in Maegyo.
“I’m not interrupting your quality time with our Leader, am I?”
“It’s fine, so sit down.”
“Yes! Hehe.”
Yang Ha-rin quickly sat down next to Seo-ryeon.
“There’s chaos upstairs right now.”
“Chaos?”
Seo-ryeon and Cheon-gang glanced behind Yang Ha-rin.
“They were asking questions, saying you two seemed suspicious. So I gave them a clear answer!”
“Yang Ha-rin, you…”
“Unnie, love can’t be hidden just because you try to hide it! After 2 years, it’s okay to make it official. Right, Cheon-gang oppa?”
“I’m always on Seo-ryeon’s side. If Seo-ryeon is uncomfortable, then I don’t like it either.”
“Geez, really! It’s always like this!”
While Seo-ryeon blushed at Cheon-gang’s response, Yang Ha-rin pouted and grumbled.
“I’m the only lonely one among couples, so lonely!”
“Why are you lonely when you have us?”
Cheon-gang laughed while playfully messing up Yang Ha-rin’s bangs.
Since his younger sister Cheon Hwa-yeong and Yang Ha-rin were around the same age, Cheon-gang had naturally started treating Yang Ha-rin like a younger sister.
“Seo-ryeon unnie has Cheon-gang oppa, and Seolha unnie has Prince Lee. So of course I’m lonely! This won’t do. I should get myself a man too!”
Just as Yang Ha-rin was shouting like a battle cry while clenching her fists.
“What are you going to get?”
Eok Hwi-gyeom suddenly appeared with a frown.
“Third Prince.”
Cheon-gang hurriedly stood up and bowed to Eok Hwi-gyeom.
Though he had heard that he joined as the youngest member of the Phoenix Corps, Cheon-gang still needed time to adjust.
“I asked you a question! Why aren’t you answering quickly?”
Barely acknowledging Cheon-gang’s greeting, Eok Hwi-gyeom shouted angrily.
“What answer are you talking about! Why did you suddenly appear and get angry?”
“Do I not look angry right now?”
“What?”
“Just try making a man, really!”
Eok Hwi-gyeom warned sharply, bristling with anger.
“I won’t let it slide!”
“Brother Cheon-gang, what is he saying right now? Whether I make a man or not, what business is it of his? Don’t you think so?”
Yang Ha-rin made an incredulous expression as if she had heard the most absurd thing in the world.
At this, Eok Hwi-gyeom’s face gradually turned red and blue.
Even Eok Hwi-gyeom himself was stirred by an anger whose source he couldn’t understand.
“I’m right, aren’t I?”
“That’s right.”
Those two are like that. Hehe.”
Seo-ryeon and Cheon-gang secretly exchanged glances and laughed inwardly.
The Phoenix Corps members who were quietly watching from the stairs also giggled while making eye contact with each other.
Only Eok Hwi-gyeom and Yang Ha-rin glared at each other and growled as if they were in different worlds.
“Seo-ryeon.”
Just then, Eok I-geon, who had been guarding Seolha, hurriedly entered the inn.
“Yes, Young Master!”
“Order the meal preparation immediately.”
“…A meal?”
“Seolha must be very hungry.”
“Tell them to prepare both meat and vegetables evenly!”
Ho Jeon No Yeom-baek followed behind and shouted loudly toward the kitchen.
“The meat must be fresh!”
“Only use vegetables freshly picked from the field!”
When Tak Joong-hak and Dang Cheol-woo joined in, the cooks began moving busily despite their confusion.
“But is our in-law alright?”
“Is there any reason I wouldn’t be alright?”
“Since you’re the oldest, I’m just asking.”
“That means I also have the most internal energy.”
Tak Joong-hak said decisively that there was no need to worry about internal energy consumption.
“When will Seolha come?”
“Time passes so slowly.”
The three grandfathers pacing back and forth restlessly couldn’t hide their excited mood.
And for good reason – it was the Bone Transformation Marrow Cleansing technique.
Moreover, it wasn’t performed alone, but by three of the Ten Masters together.
Since they knew well the effects of the Bone Transformation Marrow Cleansing technique, they couldn’t help but feel anticipation.
Clack! Clack! Clack!
The dining table was quickly filled with food.
“Bring out more meat!”
“This might not be enough!”
Seolha had undergone a complete transformation through the Bone Transformation Marrow Cleansing technique, experiencing physical reconstruction.
Since she had consumed tremendous energy, hunger was bound to hit her.
And at times like this, it was good to have nutritious and high-quality meals.
It was when the three grandfathers were carefully inspecting the food.
Creak.
The back door of the inn connected to the annex opened, and Seolha finally appeared.
“…!”
The noisy interior was enveloped in silence.
She was certainly the Seolha they knew, but also wasn’t.
Her originally upright posture now had perfect left-right balance without any disorder.
With each step she took, some indescribable energy could be felt emanating from Seolha.
Her complexion also had a much clearer and more transparent glow than before.
Most importantly, her demonic energy and Buddhist power were perfectly contained, showing no external signs at all.
“I’m hungry.”
Placing her hand on her stomach, Seolha muttered weakly.
“I knew that would happen, so I…”
It was the moment when Eok I-geon quickly stood up and tried to approach Seolha.
“Our granddaughter, are you very hungry?”
“Grandfather prepared everything in advance!”
“Come sit down and eat quickly.”
Eok I-geon was pushed aside by the three grandfathers who were a beat faster than him.
