Cheonma Wants to Live Quietly

Chapter chapter 53



“Alright, let’s see it.”

As Byeoktaesan, who sat down at the training room, spoke, Soso, Danyoung, and Chaewol stepped forward.

And when Cheon Gyeong-wan and Yoo Seo-yeon saw the scene, they hesitated.

It was not polite to peek at someone else’s martial arts training process.

If you look at the process of training martial arts, you can analyze the martial arts itself.

It was highly likely that the training of a master can be deciphered, even from the side, but the training of beginners focuses on the basics and foundations, starting from where to use the basics, and practicing the moments and processes of the basics. There was no difference in looking at the entirety of the martial art itself.

Therefore, Chun Gyeong-wan or Yoo Seo-yeon hesitated with embarrassing expressions.

They wanted to watch, but they shouldn’t.

As the two turned around and tried to leave the training room, Byeoktaesan said.

“You guys are just going to leave?”

“Pardon?”

“Can we… watch?”

Byeoktaesan smiled.

“At that level, did you think you would figure something out? Feel free to watch, take a look at their level of martial arts while you are at it.”

At Byeoktaesan’s words, Cheon Gyeong-wan and Yoo Seo-yeon politely bowed. The expressions of the two were full of gratitude.

Byeoktaesan waved his hands at the three women telling them to start quickly.

Then the three people moved at the same time.

Even though they learned the same martial arts, the three movements were very different. In addition, the airy atmosphere was clearly different.

Danyoung was moderate and elegant somewhere.

Chaewol was gorgeous.

And Soso was small and light.

The motion wasn’t big, and she moved cheerfully.

It was definitely the difference between heaven and earth from what he saw a few days ago.

Only one trait was changed, but looking at the difference that one trait made, it was no surprise that everyone was trying to find a disciple with good traits.

Soon it was over.

Seeing the young anticipation on Soso’s face, he wanted to make fun of her again, but he let it go this time.

“That’s pretty good. Now, I don’t think you would go around and be useless.”

Soso smiled and twisted her body.

A happy smile came to mind as the changed appearance and the behavior harmonized.

Byeoktaesan turned his head and looked at Cheon Gyeong-wan and Yoo Seo-yeon.

In the eyes of the two, there was amazement beyond surprise.

They thought they knew why Byeoktaesan asked them to watch. It was impossible to analyze the martial arts even though it was seen.

What the two could know was something different.

The martial arts they learned was really great.

And that their talents were tremendous.

They didn’t even know that Soso’s talent was this much. As far as they know, it was only a month or so before Soso began to learn martial arts.

It is because she started martial arts training with the newly arrived servants.

However, looking at the movements she unfolded just now, it wasn’t the level of movements one could do in just one month.

Byeoktaesan asked, looking at Cheon Gyeong-wan and Yu Seo-yeon.

“What do you think? Isn’t that pretty good?”

The faces of the two were slightly darkened.

“It’s amazing.”

“What is? The martial art?”

“The martial art is too but… Their talent is also great as well.”

Byeoktaesan smiled.

“If you can only see that, that is why you guys are stuck at that level.”

Having said that, he got up from his seat and approached the three servants who were standing in the middle of the arena.

And little by little, he gave some tips on how to improve.

Chun Gyeong-wan and Yoo Seo-yeon looked at them while chewing in their minds what Byeok Tae-san had just said.

What the hell should they have seen?

The eyes of the two became complicated. In addition, their thoughts in their head also got complicated just like their eyes.

* * *

After the day, Ho Mu Ryeon-ju quietly enjoyed a cup of tea.

It was not an exaggeration to say that he would endure a day just for this time.

He looks back at the day while drinking tea carefully.

It was also a time to reflect on what he did well, to laugh when he remembers what he did well, and to make plans for the future.

It was definitely Byeoktaesan that filled the mind of Homu-ryeonju today.

No, it was the two guards who guarded Byeoktaesan.

“Did they say they were Chun Gyeong-wan and Yoo Seo-yeon?”

Chun Gyeong-wan was the bodyguard of Byeoktaesan and Yoo Seo-yeon bodyguard of Yeon Harin.

Both were of considerable quality.

He particularly liked the look of their eyes. It was an atmosphere and eyes that were hard to attain without going through countless battles.

They probably saw a lot of blood from the enemy and their own.

There was a peculiar atmosphere that naturally bloomed as people went through that kind of experience.

Even if they personally didn’t know.

When the two blocked him, Ho Mu Ryeon-ju read their great determination.

They would have risked at least half their life.

So he gave up his will. And he took them separately and talked.

The two didn’t relax even though they made such a good atmosphere.

Rather, they were more cautious about whether they had been done before in that kind of relaxed situation.

“They were pretty good, to say the least.”

So he became more interested in Byeoktaesan.

Doesn’t that mean he was able to make the bodyguards make that much determination?

Chun Gyeong-wan or Yoo Seo-yeon may be ones who can risk their lives no matter what owner they enlist for.

No, it is very likely.

But it was a completely different matter for the owner to bring it out completely.

In the eyes of Ho Mu-ryeonju, Byeoktaesan properly brought out the loyalty of the two.

“By the way… I definitely got a report that he came out of the room today… … .”

Ho Mu Ryeon-ju tilted his head because he could not understand that.

There was no doubt that Chun Gyeong-wan or Yoo Seo-yeon would have conveyed his words. He emphasized it many times.

Then, that would mean that Byeoktaesan didn’t come even after hearing that, but he couldn’t figure out what was the reason.

“Is that because he was not feeling well?”

But that alone was not a reason.

“Well… I’m sure he will come tomorrow.”

Ho Mu Ryeon-ju smiled pleasantly, thinking what he would say when he met Byeoktaesan.

And apart from that, he really wondered how the investigation of Gold Wall was going on.

Soon the cup was empty.

Homu-ryeon-ju slowly got up and headed to the senior-only training room behind the office.

Now it was time to really finish the day.

* * *

Yeon Ha-rin felt like she was floating in the sky as she walked around.

Finally, she was able to attend the next generation meeting with Byeoktaesan.

Yeon Ha-rin glanced at the side of Byeoktaesan, walking side by side with her.

There are no other people, including Yoo Seo-yeon and Chun Gyeong-wan. Today, Byeoktaesan can only be occupied by herself.

Outsiders other than the next generation were not allowed to participate in the meeting.

Participation was possible only by the next generation of youth who belonged to Homu-ryeon or joined Homu-ryeon.

Strictly speaking, Byeoktaesan was not allowed to participate, but it was possible because Homu-ryeonju and Seomun-deok took appropriate measures.

Because of this, he didn’t know how full-hearted Yeon Ha-rin was.

In case, Byeoktaesan wasn’t able to attend.

Anyway, she was fortunate that things went well.

Unlike Yeon Ha-rin, Byeoktaesan was a little light-headed.

In fact, at first, he didn’t want to participate. But when he saw Yeon Ha-rin’s expression asking to go together, he couldn’t refuse.

She asked him with a look of worry, thinking of what to do if she gets rejected by him and trembled in front of him. Seeing that Byeoktaesan had no choice but to accept.

Byeoktaesan was in the middle of thinking very strangely.

In the past, if he were himself, it was something he would never allow.

Once if he decided not to go, he would not have gone even if the most beautiful woman in the world came and cried.

There was actually a similar experience too.

But not now. His attempt to refuse was turned away.

This wasn’t a problem with passing over, but that the mind itself of Byeoktaesan changed.

Byeoktaesan thought about the problem throughout the journey with Yeon Harin.

What had changed?

The feeling wasn’t bad.

He felt that this change would be positive.

He wasn’t just feeling a little okay, but a feeling of being close to certainty.

As he was walking in the midst of that thought, he felt a hot gaze.

Byeoktaesan closed his thoughts and turned his head to look at Yeonharin.

The owner of the hot eye was Yeon Ha-rin.

Yeon Ha-rin asked carefully as her gaze met with Byeoktaesan.

“Perhaps… Are you angry?”

Byeoktaesan made a confused expression as if this was something unexpected.

“Why would I be?”

Yeon Ha-rin laughed awkwardly.

“You’re making a very scary expression… I’m glad you are not. Originally, I thought you didn’t want to come, but I thought you were in a bad mood because I begged you.

Byeoktaesan smiled.

“It is true that I didn’t want to come.”

“Ah… … !”

“However you moved my heart to make me want to come together. This is not something anyone can do, so you can take pride.”

Yeon Ha-rin stared at Byeoktaesan blankly.

‘This… Can I see it as a positive signal?’

Listening to him, the words were a little weird, but it if meant that he came with her because he thought about her would be a positive thing.

After that, for a while, there was no talk between the two.

Byeoktaesan brought back his original thoughts, and Yeon Ha-rin became afraid to talk more, so she closed her mouth and walked.

Soon, the two people arrived at the place where the next generation gathered.

* * *

While the meeting was in full swing, Ho Mu Ryeon-ju sat face to face with Seo Mun-deok.

“It hasn’t been a few days, has the results already come out?”

“The results have not come out yet, but there are some suspicious circumstances, so I think I should dig properly.”

“A suspicious situation?”

“There are those who constantly check the Gold wall merchants in Wuhan. It is an organization created by a group of a few merchants named Cheongeumryeon, and their behind-the-scenes is a bit suspicious.”

“Cheongeumryeon… … .”

As I investigated the Gold wall, I naturally also investigated Cheongeumnyeon, and I had to look at the events that were intertwined between the two recently.

As a result, many strange things stood out.

“The Cheongeumryeon tried to devour Gold wall and failed, but there was also the Zhongli Household and Hao Guild.”

The Zhongli Household was a household that was in Hubei but did not join Homu-ryeon.

“It’s surprising that the Zhongli are also entangled. They seldom reveal anything that is insidious.”

“It was almost as if the Zhongli was absorbed by Cheongeumryeon.”

“I heard about that as well.”

Ho Mu Ryeonju also received a report about him. It was just a while ago, so he still remembered vividly.

“Anyway, there were many gaps because various interests were intertwined.”

“So it looks like the background was revealed. You don’t quite know the identity yet though.”

“That’s right. I am thinking that it might be Geumwol Merchants behind the scenes.”

There was enough possibility.

“I will go to Wuhan.”

“You will personally? Wouldn’t it be better to just send a few underlings?”

“I would like to go check it myself. I will take enough of the underlings.”

The expression of Homuryeonju became serious.

“If you want, you should. How many are you planning to take?”

“I’m thinking of five groups first.”

All organizations in Homu-ryeon were organized into groups, with one leader and ten members in a group.

In other words, it meant that fifty-five people would be sent.

“That is quite a lot.”

“It is unlikely that this opportunity will come again. I thought we should definitely catch the tail on this occasion.”

Homuryeonju nodded.

“Let’s do that then. I don’t have a good feeling. I think maybe we were looking for the wrong guy.”

“I’m going to Wuhan to check that.”

“Okay. Contact me anytime you need support I’ll be on my toes.”

Ho Mu Ryeon-ju, who said that, lit his eyes.

“Then, are you going with them when you go?”

Seo Mun-deok shook his head.

“Wouldn’t it be long before the meeting is over? I plan to leave tomorrow.”

“You are such a tight person. I understand.”

Seo Mun-deok asked carefully, looking at Homu-ryeonju.

“Do… Do you have anything you want to say?”

“No, rather than have something to say… The guy that calls himself Byeoktaesan.”

As soon as Seo Mun-deok laid the foundation, Ho Mu Ryeon-ju eagerly talked.

“I went to see him in person, but it seemed like there was something important to do, so I just came back.”

“Yes. I see.”

“I did it because I am a very caring person, and if I were like a different person, it would be impossible.”

“You are famous for your consideration.”

Seo Mun-deok replied with a tone that didn’t contain any emotions.

As if this happened often.

“But this ungrateful guy didn’t think of coming to see me yesterday even though his business was over.”

“I see.”

“I figured he’d come here today, but what? He said he went to the meeting with his woman. Does this make sense?”

“It doesn’t make sense.”

“Do you think so too? Ha, what can I do? I must be patient and wait like the caring person I am. With my reputation, there is no way I can go back just to see him.

“Why don’t you just take a look around the meeting and visit for a while?”

“Oh! Wouldn’t that be better? Do you think so too? Then it has nothing to do with saving my face, right?”

“Wouldn’t everyone rather admire you for thinking about the next generation?”

“After all, you are the only one who recognizes my heart.”

Homu-ryeonju jumped up from the seat.

“What are you doing? You said you were leaving tomorrow so you should go prepare.

Seo Mun-deok stood up with a bitter smile.

“Then I will leave you now.”

As soon as Seo Mun-deok left, Ho Mu Ryeon-ju headed to the place where he held the next generation meeting.

With a spiteful smile around his mouth.
