Chapter 509 – King Yan’s Disciple 5 (2)

After the Namgung family affair was over, I focused on treating Master.

Master’s stamina had been greatly depleted from the battle, and I had lost track of time as I engraved a healing magic circle and transferred the heat to Master in order to revive his mangled right arm as much as possible.

As a result, I couldn’t pay much attention to the survivors of the Namgung family, and when the master woke up, there was no trace of Namgung in Hapbi.

Since the emperor was singled out as the culprit of this incident, it would be difficult to show Namgung’s castle and martial arts for the time being, so it can be assumed that she left her home base.

Even the beggars of the open world maintained the loyalty of the martial people by keeping their mouths shut about the whereabouts of the Namgung family even when people from the imperial palace inquired.

However, since He Fei’s home was occupied by soldiers from the imperial palace, it was as if he had lost a place to return to.

“Hyun… Will come…”

Of course, Namgung Hyun was included in the disappeared Namgung family, and in a way, the incident happened because of her arm, so there is a possibility that he will never return for the sake of Zhuge Seon-ah.

So I decided to prescribe extreme medication.

“No matter how long I wait, there is a high possibility that Nam Gung-hyeon will not come.”

As soon as I spoke clearly, Zhuge Xian began to lash out at me.

The deadly force sent by Zhuge Xian, who lived in seclusion and ate enough food to save his life, was not very threatening to me, who had survived a battle with a high-ranking person.

“You, a friend of a small cooperative, shouldn’t say that.”

“Because I am Namgoong Hyeon’s friend, I have an obligation to tell her friend’s fiancee the truth. At least for you, Nam Goong Hyun will not come back.”

“Did Hyun say that…?”

“Even if I don’t say it, if you think about it with Zhuge Xiaozhe’s smart head, you will understand. Unless you are thinking of leaving Zhuge Xiaozhe and Jungwon altogether, Nam Gung-hyeon will not show her face.”

“If that’s what’s best for us, we’ll leave.”

It would be something worth considering if it came, but there was a high possibility that it would not come at all.

“In the scale of Nam Gung-hyeon’s heart, whether the debt to her family or the debt to Zhuge Xiaoje is heavier.”

When she said those words, Jegal Seon-ah lowered her head.

It may be an accident that the family can handle to some extent, but the death of the King of Swords means that he could be pointed out as the culprit who ruined the world’s fortune. I don’t think a guy who seemed like a man with an upright lifestyle would choose love in such a situation.〈 Br〉

“I can’t go back to Zhuge Family…”

As I listened to Zhuge Xian’s weak voice, I was able to deduce, although a bit late, the reason why Zhuge Xian’er did not want to go back.

“Is it because you think that when you return to Sega, you will find another wife for Zhuge Xiaozhe?”

Jegal Seon-ah nodded her head as if the answer I found was correct.

The fact that there is a high possibility that Nam Gung-hyeon will not return is something that I can think of, and Zhuge Xian, who is in front of me, can also guess, and of course the Zhuge family, which has many smart people, would have figured it out.

In such a situation, it would be a shame to keep Jegal Sun-ah, who is called the most beautiful woman in Hubei, in the position of Nam Gung-hyeon’s fiancée.

“It was a marriage arranged by our families since we were young, and we loved each other deeply. To become a wife to a man other than Hyun… I would rather abandon my family.”

I thought she was a smart woman and had a good relationship with her fiancé, but she had a tendency to be a bit obsessed.

‘If I think about it, she greeted me as a child when we first met…’

She was told that she used the shaft because she didn’t want my stoma to be seen as she was moving around the house.

When I saw that, I thought the two people had unique tastes and tried to respect them, which was a bit strange.

It was hard to say anything to Jegal Sun-ah, who looked at me with her eyes filled with sincerity.

In the first place, I was going to go to the shaman and since Zhuge Shi’er was nearby, I came to ask Zhuge Xian’er if he wanted to go back on the way.

‘If you don’t want to go, I have no choice.’

Even if her family’s servants are uncomfortable, it doesn’t mean that Zhuge Sun’er is uncomfortable because of her vicious behavior.

“I think it would be better not to keep the words I just said deep in your heart. They were my thoughts, not Namgoong Hyun’s.”

“It’s okay. Once again, I realized that I shouldn’t return to my family.”

Now she bowed her head slightly to Jegal Sun-ah, who seemed a little crazy, and left her guest room.

‘If any problems arise due to Zhuge Xian’s staying here, Master Yanwang will do his best to prevent it.’

It was really reassuring to know that Master was there.

*

The teacher also knew that the path pursued by the shaman I had chosen as my destination was quite similar to the path I was planning to take, so he allowed me to leave and learn.

The family seemed to want me to stay a little longer in Anhui, which is now in disarray because the Namgung family has disappeared, but at least Master Yeomwang is there in the Han clan manor.

Since the Han clan was not large enough to take the place of the Namgung family, who were the owners of Anhui, all we had to do was maintain the status quo.

“Prince Han.”

As I was about to leave the manor, Yeonhwa approached me, covering her swollen belly with her hands.

“Isn’t it difficult to move around now, Yeonhwa Sojeo? There’s no need to come out to see her off… What’s going on?”

After hesitating for a moment, Yeonhwa looked straight at me and opened her mouth.

“If you go to the shaman sect, can you get my child’s name from the monk?”

She was a courtesan so beautiful that she was compared to the most beautiful woman in Hubei, and was now preparing to become her mother.

Of course, those words probably mean that Yeonhwa, who is convinced that the child she is carrying in her womb, has received my seed, wants to create another link with me.

You can really receive a name from the shaman, or you can tell me the name you came up with when you come back.

“Okay. Let’s go, Sohye.”

“Yes, sir.”

When she saw Shahemos snuggling next to me, Yeonhwa’s smile changed slightly, but it wasn’t noticeable.

If you hadn’t looked carefully, you probably wouldn’t have noticed.

After leaving Mr. Han’s manor and walking a little, Shahemos spoke to me.

“Sir, should I give you a rough name?”

“Let’s ask the shaman’s master.”

“Huh? I understand.”

Shahemos smiled softly as if he liked my answer.

After leaving the manor, we crossed the strong fence that had been reinforced after the ant monster attacked and walked to a place where no one was seen.

When I reached a place where there were no people around, I retrieved Shahemos and ran towards Wudang Mountain in Hubei.

*

Unlike Shahemos, who can change his appearance with inconspicuous black hair, he summoned Wozniel, who had golden hair, green eyes, and angel wings, which he could not change, and went with him.

Because of his appearance, called Saekmokin in the central plains, he could not enter the village, but was able to show natural scenery such as high mountains and wide fields.

“When I walk around with my master like this, I can feel that it’s a different world.”

Because heat was used as the main resource, summoning Wozniel using divinity was less burdensome, but summoning Shahemoth using magic was impossible.

If it’s night, it seems possible to call it briefly by absorbing the shadow, but I haven’t tried it.

“It would be nice if I could change my appearance like my sister, but it’s a shame.”

Wozniel’s characteristic was its sturdiness, and he was able to create weapons that were much stronger than weapons made from shadows or demonic energy.

Unlike the Shadow Armor, which was torn apart like a piece of paper every time I focused on defense, it was confirmed to have significant defensive power, but it lacked the divinity to use it for defense.

There was a reason to sufficiently train the Yeonyeomshingung (連炎神功) in order to increase the amount of divinity that could make up for the defense power I lacked.

“There will be a way later. Let’s travel comfortably then.”

“I will trust and wait for you, master.”

When the divinity I gave him ran out, Wozniel was reverse-summoned, and I ran out, setting the village in the distance as my destination.

“If Kaena didn’t have to worry about me, she would just roam around leisurely!”

After dinner, I said this while lying down on the guest bed.

“Recently, it seemed like you didn’t care much about Kaena?”

Shahemos pushed me a little to the side while I was lying down and came up to the bed.

Shahemos, in the form of a young girl, fell down on top of her and gently stroked her hair.

“Previously, I would have trained at my home just to perfectly memorize the teacher’s teachings. Now, I came here because I need to build up my skills a little faster.”

“I guess the world where the Demon King has descended is less relaxed than the world where he hasn’t.”

“It’s even scarier because the demon lord has descended and stays calm.”

“Sure… What is that fox doing now? He didn’t even participate in the last battle.”

Considering her power and goals, Kaena’s movements could be said to be quite quiet.

Thanks to this time, the martial people began to gradually adapt to the changed central plains.

Monsters that come out of portals that constantly open can be dealt with unless they are ogre-level gangsters or special entities, and there was help from the Hermit Master.

This time, on the way to the shaman, I checked and found that in any village of a reasonable size, there was at least one shaman who was hanging out.

I was thankful that there were quite a few charlatans in the midfield, people who were sharpening their martial arts skills and then coming out and helping the powerless when they needed strength.

“Now, the masters hidden in the shadow of the Seven Kings of Murim will gradually come out, and you won’t be able to trust everyone.”

“Do you think Kaena pulled that trick again?”

She said, “She was trying to be quiet, and I thought she was messing around with me, but then she started playing tricks on me. She must be doing something behind my back of her.”

“Of course… It seemed like she would stay quiet until her master grew up, but she started doing things at Namgung.”

The two kings, the Dao King and the Dark King, belong to the Pan Family and the Tang Family, and there are plenty of powerful beings called monsters that are worth killing, so now is a great time for the Central Plains to make a name for themselves.

However, it was a pity that I couldn’t just like the fact that Moorim was becoming stronger with the emergence of new experts.

There is a possibility that the newly appeared master received something from Kaena and became a servant.

“No matter what I do, I will use it as a stepping stone to defeat Kaena.”

However, I hope that a Seven King-level strongman does not block my path as soon as I wake up from a sigh of relief.
