Chapter 255 To Becoer (2)
“It’s been a while, ma’am” Chi-Hyun said
Onlookers eren’t aware of their relationshi+p would be shocked that the legend would address someone so politely Chi-Hyun spoke informally to everyone but spoke in honorifics to the person in front of him
“Yeah, it’s been a while,” a quiet and tranquil voice replied “I guess you’re still alive” Her voice was authoritative but also cal so frantically to send additional recruits, I thought you ht have fucked up and kicked the bucket”
It was shocking that the speaker not only spoke so inforhed and made a jab at him
“The fact that I’m alive must mean I still have work to do here” Chi-Hyun cal comfortably across from him She appeared extremely relaxed as she rested her head on the top of the sofa With both of her ars on Chi-Hyun’s desk There was even a long pipe in herin an extremely rude manner, Chi-Hyun didn’t seem to mind at all
“I didn’t expect to see you here”
“It’s because they were e fuss at the Celestial Realm”
“The Celestial Real for ed me to participate in the ninth recruituel girl, who’s usually like a wooden doll, implored me so desperately too I was also curious about how you were doing, and I ht as well look for a husband here”
“I’ll pretend I ht Isn’t this where all the Celestial Realathered in droves? There uy here” With a pipe in her uess you still have that impossible dream”
“What?”
“And please be e If I may ask, do you have a conscience?”
“What did you say?” Her voice instantly becauess you have a death wish today”
“Are you confident that you can beat me?”
“…bastard” It didn’t seeer
Chi-Hyun let out a soft laugh and continued, “Anyways, it’s been a long time since I’ve been pleased with the Celestial Realm’s work Thanks to you, I feel ht surprise “There uy like you is saying that…” When she put the pipe in her mouth, a faint wisp of smoke flowed out like a silhouette After a short silence, she said, “Tell end aends, is troubled about?”
Chi-Hyun hesitated for a bit, but soon opened his mouth “It’s about my brother”
“Brother? There’s a hero you’re close enough to that you’d call him brother?”
“No, there isn’t” Chi-Hyun shook his head and continued, “I’ about my blood-related brother”
The wohtly flinched She reflexively raised her head fro about Chi-Woo,” Chi-Hyun said again with a sharp look
After a brief pause, the wo you repeat yourself” She exhaled the breath she had been holding
“It’s all right I completely understand”
“I sis and straightened her posture “It seems like…” She brushed her hair back and finished, “We need to have a long chat”
As time went by, the sun sank toward the horizon, and dusk fell
Whoosh!+ The sound of so in the air Chi-Woo inging a club nonstop in the yard, and his splattered sweat reflected the sunlight He didn’t knohy he was blindly wielding the ghost-busting club without rest; he couldn’t understand it very well hi afterhis brother He felt like he needed to vent his e, it felt like his heart would explode Thus, even though he kneastechnique like crazy for hed as he stared at Chi-Woo He didn’t stop Chi-Woo at first because as souess how heWhen Chi-Woo looked like he was about to cross the line, Philip couldn’t just stand back and watch anymore
—Hey, hey Stop it now
Chi-Woo didn’t reply He didn’t even turn around ‘I just have to get stronger…!’ He gritted his teeth and continued to vigorously swing his club
—I told you to stop
Philip repeated himself
—What’s the point of this? I understand how you feel, but—
“I’” Chi-Woo quickly cut Philip off “You told er What’s wrong with that?”
—No, it’s good to get stronger, but…
Philip was du?
“What is it if not training?”
—You wantthe club like a pissed off kid—
“You’re swinging your club like soer”
Chi-Woo, as about to angrily shout at Philip to mind his own business, faltered because the person who just spoke wasn’t Philip The voice was physical—one that belonged to a living person When Philip and Chi-Woo both looked at the speaker, their eyes widened at the same time It was a woman they had never seen before; a wo pipe
There was a deep glow on her face; a deep, cozy, and tranquil glow like a teht “He didn’t say a single thing wrong”
However, her voice was very different frole word he said is right” She sounded slightly raspy and hoarse as a result of years of drinking and sht skirt without wrinkles long enough to cover both feet, which gently revealed the soft curve of her hip Her torso was only wrapped with a cloth around her chest to clearly expose her collarbone, but she wore a baeja[1] ide sleeves that cah her clothes were nothing special, her presence and relaxed attitude made one think of a martial arts master who had reached the pinnacle of her art
When Chi-Woo didn’t respond, the woman smacked her lips and pointed with her pipe—not at hi about what that spirit just said”
—…What?
Philip made a shrill noise
—What the…perhaps…can you see me?
Philip asked just in case
“I can see you clearly”
—Wow? Wooahhhhh!
Philip exclai fuss about seeing a spirit?”
—Wow! It’s nice to meet you, mademoiselle! I can’t believe a pretty lady like you can see me! It’s an honor!
Philip breathed heavily and flew straight toward the wo crazy for any pretty woain
—Since this is also fate, how about it? Shall we go into a room and share a sincere and deep conversation?
“You and me? What would we even talk about?”
—Is that really iues, and then if our hearts connect, estion, but…” The woman listened to Philip’s desperate words and continued, “Can you do it?”
—…Eh?
Philip made a stupid sound, and the woet it up?” Philip stiffened at her quite straightforward coan to fade away; the shock was so great that it manifested as a serious blow
“Tsk, he doesn’t have a backbone There’s no point ue and coldly walked past Philip Then she came up to Chi-Woo and assessed him “So, you must be Chi-Woo” It was a very sudden reest son”
“What?”
“Ah To you…is she Okbun? That was et it”
Chi-Woo was baffled Who was she that she would mention his brother, father, and mother by names?
“Do you know ave hirew up a lot since you were a wee baby crying for milk in my arms”
“W-what?”
“Geez…I sure feel the passing of time whenever this happens”
Chi-Woo shook his head as he looked at the wo to herself with a bitter smile “I…have no idea who you are”
