105 Chapter 104 (1/2)
”A gladiator ring and a brothel? Both are tough places to live in.”
”Anyways, we don't know when he'll get into trouble. Tell your boys to keep an eye on him while he's in Nakyang.”
”Okay.”
”Then again, he's not a type to listen to words.”
”Hahaha. That's true.”
Not long after, Shim Gu tilted his head as he pondered over something.
”By the way.”
”What?”
”Didn't Jimyung build a hermitage in Soong Mountain and live there?”
”He did.”
”If so, why did he come to Nakyang when it would be more comfortable to live in the hermitage? Isn't the only reason why he likes Nakyang is because of the brothels and the alcohol? Otherwise, he would abhor coming to Nakyang than like the place.”
”Let's ask him that, then,” Kang Hyuk pondered over Shim Gu's words and replied not long after.
”What? Ah...yes.” Shim Gu nodded.
Shim Gu answered briefly because they felt Jimyung's presence nearby.
A while ago at Hwachun Academy.
Kang Hyuk told Byuk Aerin, ”Aerin, go get Jimyung. Don't let him make any more mess while he's asking where I am.”
”Okay!”
After a while.
”Ouch! Aerin! You're going to pull off my ear!”
A loud noise resounded not long after.
Kang Hyuk and Shim Gu laughed at what they saw over the shallow walls of the house.
It was because Byuk Aerin was pulling on Jimyung's ear.
”Shut up and follow me!”
”Ugh. I'm a monk! As well as an old man!”
”You know that already, but you still look for alcohol at an academy cafeteria? Are you crazy? If you're an elder, then act like one!”
”I was just trying to teach them the ways of drinking!”
”You? Teaching them how to drink? Don't be ridiculous!”
Kang Hyuk seemed to know the whole situation that happened a while ago.
Following Jimyung's energy, it was at the cafeteria at the academy. With that, Aerin went in just as Jimyung was looking for an alcoholic beverage. Byuk Aerin, who couldn't just let him be, brought Jimyung here instead.
Well, that's what it seemed to be at least.
”Did the Demon Destroying Monk cause trouble again?”
When asked by Kang Hyuk, Jimyung was taken aback as he glanced at Kang Hyuk's countenance. Kang Hyuk sighed in response. As expected, it was Jimyung with no sign of yesterday's gloom.
Where was yesterday's gloom? As soon as the day had passed, he had already returned to the old Jimyung?
'I mean, people don't change...I think I've become strange because I don't hate Jimyung for that!'
”Sir! See you again today.”
”Hello, Sir.”
Ha Gojun and Ha Goyun were standing next to Jimyung as they followed him here.
”Yes, good to see you.”
Byuk Aerin was in her young look. Surprisingly, Ha Gojun and Ha Goyun had unsurprised looks on their faces, even though she was a young woman and grabbed on Jimyung's ear.
”Aerin, what if others see...”
With Shim Gu's worried look, Byuk Aerin looked at Jimyung with a frown.
”It's all right. Everyone is afraid of being seen while Jimyung is infuriated, so everyone hid.”
”...”
Kang Hyuk seemed to know why Ha Gojun and Ha Goyun were not surprised. It was because they felt more relieved than surprised.
The young Ha Goyun and Ha Gojun were still in the dark of the situation in Murim, so they did not yet know exactly about Jimyung's position in Murim.
It seemed to them that Jimyung was just an old monk who did some Murim work in the past.
Kang Hyuk thought it was a bit of a relief.
