Chapter 104 (1/2)

[T/N: Hello! I’ve decided to translate Cho Seo-ran’s title from Medicine King to Medicine Queen for now, basing off on the original text. However, should there be any changes in the foreseeable future, I’ll make sure to leave another note. Thank you!]

“Are you the one they call Confucius?” The beautiful woman asked with her eyes twinkling.

Instead of answering, Byeok Tae-san once again looked around the people gathered at the front door. She had a strong medicinal smell.

“Chunyakbang?”

At this, the woman smiled brightly. “You know, too.”

She looked at her tone of voice and expression as if she took it for granted that she knew herself.

“Okay, get out of here.”

At the words of Byeok Tae-san, the woman, Cho Seo-ran, frowned slightly. “Isn’t that too rude?”

“It is rude to block the way to my house.”

At this, Cho Seo-ran bit her lip slightly before standing aside. Then, the men that were with her also opened the way.

Byeok Tae-san hurried past them and slammed the door. The door was obviously locked, but it opened gently. At that moment, the man who had put the message inside was running eagerly. As soon as he found the Tae-san, he nodded.

“Confucius, have you been there?”

When Byeok Tae-san nodded, he headed out and began to speak. “I told the general. Eat it as a snack. I will take you to the waiting room.”

Cho Seo-ran quickly erased the expression on her face as she entered the gold closet, the other seven following closely behind.

“If you wait in the reception room, the general will come soon.” Cho Seo-ran smiled lightly and bowed her head slightly for her answer. When they arrived at the waiting room, they each sat down and rested.

While coming here from Cheon Yakbang, she felt very tired because of all the traveling they had done. At least, for a few days, it seemed like there was time to recover.

After a while, the Commander-in-chief arrived. After exchanging a ceremonial greeting, the Commander-in-Chief looked at Cho Seo-ran and said: “Jang Joo is on a business trip, so it will be three days before I can see you. I heard that you all came to see the truth and the strangeness, is that right?”

At this, Cho Seo-ran nodded. “Right.”

The commander-in-chief frowned at this. “If that is the case, then can you guide me to where you are right now?”

Cho Seo-ran smiled brightly. “It was what I was hoping for.”

“Alright, you can come this way.” The general hurriedly left the reception room with Cho Seo-ran and her party.

Still, Cheon Chushinui checked every day that no one came from the drugstore and urged him to come. He wanted to take them to Cheon Chushinui in order to get rid of the annoyance.

In any case, the general hurried as much as possible and took the guests from the Cheon Yakbang, right to the garden where Cheon Chushinui and Ilchimkai were located.

* * *

Cheon Chushinui and Ilchimkai were engrossed in the secrets he received from Byeok Tae-san.

He had already read it a few times. The more he read, the newer it became. And the more he read, the more he questioned.

It was also the martial arts of Shihyeol and Demon. Its depth and subtlety were undeniably indescribable.

“Slowly, the time has come for Confucius to stop by…”

At the murmuring of Cheon Chushinui, the other felt devastated.

“I stopped by to give this today, does it make sense to stop by again? Think more if you want to live. Do you not know our Confucius that much?”

“Your brother doesn’t know Confucius, or how attentive he is. Perhaps he will come to teach us what we do not know.”

“You’re betting?”

As the chimpanzee smiled and spoke, Cheon Chushinui smirked. “Brother, have you not changed that habit yet? I ended up like this while betting, would you like for me to bet again?”

“Okay, what’s the harm?”

Then, just as he was about to say that his underwear was going to be ripped off, the door leading to the next garden swung open. The eyes of the two men turned towards it at the same time, their hearts pounding like crazy.

This was because they both knew that Byeok Tae-san was coming.

‘If he hadn’t said that nonsense, he’d have been beaten up.’

As the monster was sweeping his chest, the general came in through the open door.

“Oh, surprise.”

As Cheon Chushinui grumbled, the general smiled brightly and spoke. “The visitor whom God has been waiting for so long has arrived.”

“Customer?”

Cho Seo-ran came in from behind the general, seven other men trailing behind her.

“Uh? The Medicine Queen?”

Cheon Chushinui looked at Ilchimkai and Cho Seo-ran alternately at the words of Ilchimkai. He didn’t know that the Queen of Medicine would come in person.

Hearing the commotion, two lawmakers from the Cheon Yakbang, who were stirring pots at the edge of the garden, ran to her with tears in her eyes.

“I’m Moon Juni!” The two rushed to each other and knelt down in front of Cho Seo-ran.

“Heh heh heh! I really wanted to see you!”

Cho Seo-ran was really bewildered by the behavior of the two Mundos.

People who belonged to Cheon Yakbang were basically excellent members of the legislature. And the legislator was very proud of himself. It was by no means uncommon for such lawmakers to bow down like that.

“Come on, calm down and get up.”

At this, the two lawmakers stood up at Cho Seo-ran’s words. And just as she was about to open her mouth, Cheon Chushinui and Ilchimkai approached her.

“Do you remember me?”

Cho Seo-ran smiled brightly. “Of course. Mysterious old man, haven’t you had anything special?”

“It’s me… It’s a bit too much to say that it wasn’t a big deal. My life was turned upside down because I met this guy.”

Saying that, Ilchimkai put his hand on Cheon Chushinui’s shoulder who was next to him. “This person is a god of heaven.”

Cheon Chushinui smiled kindly in turn. Perhaps, if someone who knew him had seen this, his eyes would have gotten bigger.

“Nice to meet you. I didn’t know he would meet the medicine queen like this.”

“I am also pleased to meet you. It’s amazing anyway. The fact that you two are here together. Besides, here…” Cho Seo-ran looked around her. The sight of such a large garden full of medicinal herbs was not easily seen even in the Cheon Yakbang.

At this, the scoundrel frowned at those words.

“There are a lot of drugs to make. by the way… I didn’t know you would come in person. It must be a busy time. Did you join hands with the Moorimmaeng?”

“Yes. That’s how it happened.”

Cho Seo-ran’s expression darkened slightly. “Looking at your expression, something seems to have happened. There was no way the Moorimmaeng persecuted me…”

“It’s not a big deal. just… Things got a little difficult and I just needed help.”

“Did things get difficult? No way.”

The Cheon Yakbang was a sect that had no place in the world to follow when it came to medicine. From elixirs to trivial geumchang and salve, Cheonyakbang medicine was superior to medicines compared to those that were made anywhere else.

Because of this, there was no problem with sales. And so, how could one possibly believe that things were getting worse?

Cho Seo-ran put on a puzzled expression. “It happened because things were going to get messed up. There were problems with supply and demand of medicinal herbs, payment was delayed, and it became a bit difficult as these things got tangled up.”
