Chapter 91 (1/2)

Byeok Tae-san had expected his quiet life to go on for some time.

However, for now, there had been an occurring disturbance in the power change of Hao Mun, and there was nothing else that would cause any more noise, except to ask Bai Hua Lu Zhu for help.

After all, the beast acting behind Cheon Geum-ryeon would not move immediately.

They also needed time to prepare in order to do something. Of course, they were not aware of what they were really going to do in Wuhan.

There was a slight possibility when it came to Cheon Yakbang, but the lawmakers there were now being treated like dogs in order to create the Cheonchu Shrine, so it would be quiet for the time being.

However, suddenly, an unexpected guest arrived.

No, this was more like greeting a military member than a guest.

“From now on, I’ve decided to live here, too.”

Was he really speaking like that?

“I think it would be good for you to reconsider this. No man should take his business so lightly.”

“It wasn’t an easy decision, was it? I thought about it and even brought it up for discussion a lot. That’s how I came to this decision.”

Byeok Tae-san frowned and looked at Yeon Ha-rin, who did not avoid her gaze. She even confidently made eye contact.

Upon seeing this, Yeon Ha-rin smiled brightly.

“I think I did a good job of refusing to break up the marriage and holing onto the end. How much regret do you have now if you fell for your father’s words?”

When Byeok Tae-san did not respond to this, Yeon Ha-rin clenched her fists with a determined expression and said, “I have no intention of simply playing and eating with you, Confucius. I’ll work, too.”

“Really? What’re you planning to do?”

Yeon Ha-rin smiled. “Yes, I think Master should be the one to tell you about this. I’ll do anything you’d ask me to do.”

As she said that she could do anything, she looked at Byeok Tae-san with the greatest glamor she could ever possibly have.

Then, as he did his best to study hard, he slightly twisted his body to express a bewitching figure as much as possible.

Seeing this, Byeok Tae-san said, “Your posture is twisted. If you don’t have the correct posture, it would hinder your martial arts training for later.”

“I know that, right?”

Yeon Ha-rin straightened her posture and pursed her lips. Byeok Tae-san caught himself looking at this gesture and hurriedly waved his hand.

“Anyway, I found this out; if you find Danyoung or Soso, they’ll give you a suitable room.”

When Byeok Tae-san’s permission fell, Yeon Ha-rin caught herself smiling brightly.

“I really will do well in the future.”

“I don’t know what it is exactly that you’re going to do well, but please just do it yourself. Just… don’t bother me, alright?”

“It’s not natural… I, but…”

As Yeon Ha-rin dragged her horse without bothering to head out, Tae-san looked at her with a puzzled expression.

“Why?”

After hesitating for a moment, Yeon Ha-rin looked at Byeok Tae-san with her eyes shining. It looked as if she had made up her mind.

“I want to do that practice, too.”

“Huh? Is that the water lily?”

“It’s the training done by the Thousand Samurai, as well as the Yu Samurai.”

“Ah, so does that mean it’s invincible?”

“The name itself already sounds like a great aid.”

“That’s pretty cool.”

It was such an amazing step that no other training could be followed through inflicting pain on people via walking.

“Are you going to practice Muryangbo?”

Yeon Ha-rin nodded, her face taking on a determined expression.

“Yes, please. I’ll be much stronger than I am now. So I… I want to make it my duty to protect Confucius.”

Byeok Tae-san didn’t laugh at her goal. One didn’t have to be stronger than the one they said they wanted to protect.

In fact, in the past, Hocheondae had not been stronger than the Cheonmain himself.

Even if all the Hocheondae units were to attack, they could not possibly defeat the Cheonma.

However, still, they faithfully kept to the Heavenly Demon. In addition to this, Chunma himself thought that they had been doing their job well enough.

Who would dare to laugh at the thought of leaving it all behind in order to protect someone?

Byeok Tae-san nodded happily. “Alright, we can do that.”

Overjoyed, Yeon Ha-rin ran right up to him to embrace him, a happy expression on his face.

In addition to this, Byeok Tae-san made sure to avoid Ha-rin’s rushed movements by taking a slight step to the side.

The woman, who barely managed to keep herself balanced, turned and looked at him with bewildered eyes. Before long, Tae-san was already walking away,

“Sir! How could you possibly do that?!” She continued her relentless pursuit, running up behind him as she made another attempt to hug him.

Of course, this was also a failed trial.

Yeon Ha-rin looked over at the dance hall with a spaced-out expression.

There were two swinging bridges made of planks that were joined together in the gymnasium. In addition to this, Cheon Kyung-wan and Yoo Soo-yeon were walking on it, with both wearing equally-troubled expressions.

However, when Tae-san’s gaze roved over to them, these expressions quickly shifted into one of forced comfort.

“Ah…”

A long sigh simultaneously escaped the both of them at once.

“Confucius, are you here?”

Cheon Kyung-wan and Yoo Soo-yeon politely greeted Byeok Tae-san. Seo-yeon found Yeon Ha-rin, and her eyes began to twinkle.

“You came, too? When did you arrive?”

“Um… just now?”

With this, Soo-yeon began to look at Ha-rin with a meaningful expression. This made Ha-rin rush with her movements before the other girl could say something strange.

“I have decided to stay in the gold closet from now on.”

“Really?” Yoo Seo-yeon’s eyes widened. Yeon Ha-rin could only smile.

“I have already received permission, as well as had my luggage moved.”

At these words, Byeok Tae-san frowned. “When did you move your luggage?”

Ha-rin’s smile never wavered. “I’ve already been packing everything from the beginning in case I would live alone. I moved inside after I got permission from Lord Jang.”

That meant that she knew Tae-san even before meeting Confucius.

‘Indeed, the owner of this manor is Byeok Taesu.’

While Tae-san was busy thinking about that, Ha-rin approached Seo-yeon with a friendly expression.

“Is training hard? I want to do this, too.”
