Chapter 229 – 230. Being Asked-1

“Whoaaaaam”

Seonwoo yawned loudly.

At the same time, he felt drowsiness set in, as if his eyes were about to close.

This is because he couldn’t sleep the whole night yesterday because he was busy with the disapproval situation and sorting out the ranks.

Sunwoo slowly came down to the first floor of the inn with slightly bloodshot eyes.

I looked around and saw the search crew already having breakfast.

He somehow thought he was the last one.

Seonwoo looked around him again to see if there were any empty seats.

But perhaps he came too late, and all the seats were full.

Sunwoo scratched the back of his head.

It seemed that he would have to stand and eat or wait.

“Small cooperation! Place cooperation!”

It was then.

A voice called him from the corner of the inn.

Sunwoo turned his head to where the voice came from.

There, I saw the figures of young warriors wearing navy blue uniforms.

They were the masters of Qingseong.

“Let’s eat together! Place!”

And the one who sat in the middle waved his hand and invited Seonwoo to join the table.

`Huh?`

Seonwoo, seeing this, tilted his head.

Because he heard wonder.

In the meantime, he had never made friends with the warriors of the Tang family or the search crew except for Seolhyang.

However, when he suddenly sieved the eggs, he was puzzled.

But soon, Seonwoo moved to where they were.

He kept standing there for a while, and he did a favor for me, but he didn’t want to refuse it either.

“Thank you.”

Seonwoo took an empty seat and thanked them.

Haha, thank you for this.”

Thanks to Seonwoo’s gratitude, the person who offered a seat smiled and accepted the words.

“My name is Cheongsong.”

The man looked at Seonwoo and continued.

“And the curly-looking guy over here is my priest, Cheong-gil, and the guy next to me is the youngest, Cheong-su. They’re all disciples of Cheongseong Headquarters.”

Cheongsong introduced the people sitting in the seat by pointing at them one by one.

“Nice to meet you. My name is Cheong-gil.”

“Nice to meet you! My name is Cheongsu!”

And after being introduced by Cheongsong, they each greeted Seonwoo.

“Nice to meet you. My name is Jang Seon-woo of the Tang family.”

Seonwoo also looked at them face to face and spoke politely.

“It is an honor to meet the famous Zhang Sohyeop like this.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Yi Gai, who introduced himself as Cheongsu, looked at Seonwoo and continued.

“Are you famous?”

Sunwoo asked as if he didn’t know what he was saying.

“Dragon rods… Inhale!”

At that time, the blue road next to Cheongsu’s mouth blocked it as it was trying to answer.

“Shut up.”

Then, he sang quietly in the ear of Cheongsu.

For a moment, the pale blue sky nodded his head stubbornly.

Because he realized he had made a mistake with his words.

“I’m sorry. I don’t know where to say, but I think the priest made a mistake.”

Cheong-gil, who blocked Cheong-soo’s mouth, lowered his head slightly and apologized to Seon-woo.

“No… It’s fine.”

In response to his apology, Seonwoo waved his hand and gestured that it was okay.

Wasn’t he trying to answer his own question in the first place?

Moreover, Seonwoo knew that everyone in Gupa knew everything about what had happened between Yongbong and Seonwoo.

However, looking at their reactions, it seemed that only a very small number of the original disciples knew this fact.

Haha, how can the priest speak so lightly?

At that time, Cheongsong refreshed the atmosphere with a light bruise.

“By the way, Zhang Shao-hyeop, how did you come out so late? Do you have a secret lover?”

Then, with a mischievous smile, he handed a joke to Seonwoo.

Haha. A lover. She says it will be a big deal. She leaves the most beautiful woman in the world all alone, but how could she cheat on her?”

Seonwoo, who noticed Cheongsong’s intention to evoke the atmosphere, responded with a joke.

Because he also did not want the uncomfortable atmosphere to continue.

“Yeah, I’m envious. I’m betrothed to Dang Yeohyeop, who is said to be the best in Sichuan.”

Cheongsong exclaimed her exclamation and opened her mouth in an envious tone.

“It’s not the best in Sichuan, it’s the best in the world.”

Seonwoo smiled kindly and spat out jokes.

And the atmosphere, which had subsided slightly, began to liven up again.

As soon as the atmosphere was relieved, Cheong-gil, who was covering Cheong-soo’s mouth, removed her hand that was blocking her.

She was somewhat bruised because she felt that now she would be somewhat careful with her words.

Soon, Cheongsu joined the conversation, followed by Cheonggil, who also helped with a few words.

Haha

And before long, boisterous laughter began to echo.

Haha

Seonwoo, who sat with them, felt his mood rise.

I don’t know if it’s because it’s been a long time since I’ve had a conversation with my peers, but it’s because I heard a lot of fun.

The combination of Cheongsong, Cheonggil, and Cheongsu boasted a very interesting combination.

Cheongsong made fun of Cheongsoo’s carelessness, and the pranks that went beyond the limits were sorted out in the Cheonggil line.

This perfect balance created their own unique fun, and Sunwoo could laugh nonstop.

It was to the point where I didn’t know how much pleasure I had felt in a while.

“Isn’t that what the priest said then? If I had known this would happen, I would have gone to the Volcanic Sect instead of Cheongseong.”

Cheongsong smiled broadly and brushed off the story of her past.

“Execution!”

In an instant, Qing Qi, who became the object of ridicule, blushed and bruised him, but his mouth did not stop.

“Has the young master of the shopping district ever gone through hardships? Every day, he was exhausted trying to soothe the crying and annoyance, saying that he wanted to go home.”

“Doesn’t Cheong-gil help you look like that?”

At his words, Seonwoo continued his speech with an expression that seemed to make no sense.

It was because I couldn’t believe that the very hard-looking blue road was crying and getting upset.

“Do you know how fragile it is even if it looks like that? I still can’t sleep unless it’s the bedding I hugged when I was young.”

“Execution!”

At the endless farmland streets of Cheongsong, Cheonggil shouted with a reddened face.

What do you say to someone you see for the first time?

Haha”

Seeing this, Seonwoo burst into laughter.

It’s because the fun rushed.

“By the way, Zhang Xiaohyup, I have a question, can I ask you?”

“Ask any number.”

To his question, Seonwoo readily nodded his head and answered.

“Are you close with ARMY’s Seol Sojeo?”

“…”

For a moment, Seonwoo put on a puzzled expression.

This is because a completely unexpected question arose.

“…What do you mean?”

Sunwoo let go of the pretense.

“Nothing to be ashamed of. Didn’t we go out together last night too?”

At Seonwoo’s reaction, Cheongsong continued with a sinister smile.

“That, that…How?”

Seonwoo asked him in embarrassment.

The question was, how do you know that?

“I happened to see you walking in the backyard last night. The two of you walking side by side.”
Cheongsong smiled and continued talking.

Hearing his words, Seonwoo began to break out in a cold sweat.

It was because I felt like I couldn’t even take it off.

Sunwoo began shaking his head furiously.

A good excuse to break the current situation.

And soon I was able to come up with a plausible excuse.

“Whoa… I said I was careful, but it looks like they got caught after all.”

Seonwoo let out a sigh and then looked at him and continued talking.

“Actually, I was on the way to share a dance with Seol So-jeo.”

“Rain?”

“Yes. As soon as I saw her, perhaps because we had reached a similar level, her feelings for me were aroused.”

“What!? Then you’re saying that she has reached a similar level as Zhang Xiaohyup!?”

At Seonwoo’s words, Cheongsong shouted as if it were nonsense.

What kind of person is Jang Seon-woo in front of me?

Aren’t you a monster-like human who has single-handedly overpowered the most promising later exponents who are considered to lead the next generation of midfielders?

But she is a woman who seems to be only a weakling, but has she reached a level similar to that?!
The level of Sunwoo they expected was transcendent.

Doesn’t that mean Seolhyang is also at its peak?

A look of astonishment appeared on the faces of the masters of Qingcheng.

What kind of stage is transcendental peak?

The highest state that can be reached only when the physical concepts of mind, qi, and body and the mental concepts of jeong, qi, and spirit are in perfect harmony. Isn’t it

I couldn’t help but be astonished to reach such a staggering level at an age that seemed to be only about the weak.

“Huh…Is that really true?”

Cheongsong let out a laugh and spat it out at Seonwoo again.

No matter how much I thought about it, it just didn’t make sense.

“It is true.”

To his question, Seonwoo nodded and answered.

“…”

“…”

“…”

Upon hearing his words, all the Taoists in Qingcheng were at a loss for words.

Because there was nothing but awe.

They also heard of someone who was famous in Qingseong as a technician.

This is because it was a technique that reached the peak at an age where it was not even possible to move away.

They were always confident.

Even though they are tied to the prose of Cheongseong, if they go to Murim, they say that Yongbong will not be their opponent.

To them, the fact that Seolhyang, who was not in good terms, reached the level of transcendence made them feel a tremendous sense of deprivation.

The climax of reaching the young age of twenties feels shabby.

Chuuk

Suddenly, the students of Qingcheng began to droop.

Even Cheongsong, who used to talk a lot, kept his mouth shut, and Cheong-gil’s expression, which was already stiff, became more stiff, and Cheong-soo made a sullen expression.

The buzzing atmosphere quickly subsided.

And Sunwoo, the person who created the atmosphere, put on a puzzled expression.

It was because such a noisy atmosphere was resolved at once, and a sense of distance was felt.

`…Fuck`

Seonwoo sighed inwardly.

It was because I felt guilty for the atmosphere that had sunk heavily.

Seon-woo started to nibble on the food while watching them.

Seonwoo couldn’t tell whether the rice was going through his nose or his mouth in the suffocating atmosphere.

“Really… That’s great.”

At that time, Cheongsong, who had been silent, opened her mouth.

“How can you be so strong at that age?”

As he spoke, his eyes began to twinkle incessantly.

“Sojeo, who is as beautiful as a fairy who came down from heaven, is so strong even in martial arts…”

Cheongsong continued talking while looking into the air with hazy eyes.

Thump thump thump

Cheongsong’s heart started beating non-stop.

How wonderful is it that she is a woman stronger than herself?

It was Cheongsong who had always longed for a strong woman.

To him, the story of Seolhyang was a topic enough to ignite a fire in his heart.

“Zhang Xiaohyup.”

Cheongsong looked at Seonwoo with serious eyes and continued.

“Speak… Speak.”

Seonwoo answered his question even though he was taken aback by his sudden change of attitude.

“Could you help me out a bit?”

“If you want help, what specifically…”

Seonwoo looked at him with a gaze full of questions, and his words trailed off.

“I want to get close to Seol So-jeo. And if you agree, I want you to go beyond that.”

In response to Seonwoo’s question, Cheongsong said to Seonwoo with a very serious expression.

“So please arrange a place for her so she can get to know her.”

Cheongsong said to him with her eyes twinkling.

“…”

Hearing his words, Seonwoo lost his words in an instant.

Because he couldn’t keep up with the sudden development.

I’m sure you were talking about the realm of seolhyang

How does it transform into a love affair between a man and a woman?

Seonwoo put on a puzzled expression.

“Zhang Shao-hyeop, I’m very serious right now.”

“Isn’t that something that the parties have to decide on their own?”

At his request, Seon-woo showed a refusal.

It was because he had no desire to get involved in her other person’s love front, and he had no desire to connect with her.

“Heh heh… I’m not asking for a lot of things. Just give me a seat, I’ll take care of it.”

Despite Sunwoo’s refusal, he continued to ask for favors.

Right now, Ami and Cheongseong were competing for the leadership of the search party.

And Cheongsong knew the political situation better than anyone else.

However, it was clear that if Cheongsong approached Seolhyang in this situation, the unholy order would fall.

So he begged Seonwoo earnestly.

Even the lucky ones wouldn’t notice if he called them separately and set up a place for them.

“…”

Hearing his request, Seonwu silently fell into trouble.

Because I don’t know how to behave here.

I begged him so earnestly, but I didn’t want to pretend I didn’t know, and I didn’t want to become an old man by falling in love with someone else.

The two conflicting emotions collided with each other and began to clutter Seonwoo’s head.

`Hmmm`

Seonwoo groaned quietly and fell into deep thought.
