Chapter 21 – Chapter 2-Can I Believe It?

After safely completing the schedule and returning to Shaanxi, I slowly began to plan my trip.

If possible, it is safe to be in an area with a well-known political faction, such as the Gupabang or the Five Greats.

‘Hanam.. Hubei.. Qinghai.. Sacheon.. Anhui..’

In my heart, I want to see Mt. Kunlun once, but that side is somehow burdensome.

Still, unlike the Volcanic Faction, which is somewhat stained with the world, those over there are true masters who train in the mountains.

Of course, it’s not that there aren’t some volcanic wave guru’s who quarrel, but most of them were young or young people.

But gonryun is not real.

It’s really scary.

You can’t go into such a dangerous (?) Place just to see the mountain.

For similar reasons, nonpartisans should be avoided as much as possible.

‘Sacheon.. Or Anhui and Hanam..’

If you want to go from Shaanxi to Anhui, you have to pass through Henan anyway, so it’s better to think of it as one option and choose it.

Sichuan or Anhui + Henan?

‘Come to think of it, Sacheon is where the Sacheon Dangga is located, right?’

It belongs to Dang Ah-yeong, so if you go that way, you should be able to get help from Dang A-young.

If you time it right, we might be able to go together.

Then the side of Sacheon, where there are people who already know..

‘..What is this ominous aura.’

The moment I tried to determine the location, I felt a very ominous aura.

I didn’t even look at the divination, but somehow it felt like my life would end if I went that way.

‘Did God of Heaven and Earth give you something just now?’

Of course, our lofty heaven does not give revelations in this way.

I’ve never had anything like that before.

So, this is purely my intuition…

‘Hmm..’

I can’t see my future, but I’m still a fortuneteller who sees the future. Wouldn’t it be worth trusting my senses?

‘Okay. Honam and Anhui.’

I’m sorry to Dang Ah-young, but my senses say that if I go that way, there will be a big problem, but I can’t help it.

Maybe we can try going together later.

* * *

Business as usual was still the same, but I started saving money little by little by cutting back on gambling.

After two weeks, the long-awaited item finally arrived.

“Now, it’s a drink made with ginseng aged 20 years. I tried to get more, but if you want to take more, they told me to kill myself and take it, so this is the limit.”

“Oh oh oh…”

In front of my eyes was ginseng wine, which was poured into a large glass and emitted a brilliant golden light.

It’s something I can’t find even if I try. It seems that the reservation is already full.

Wild ginseng is almost magical in this neighborhood, so considering that I dare not touch it, it is one of the best alcoholic beverages available to me.

In terms of price alone, this might be more valuable than 10 nyang of gold.

“How did you get this?”

“Hehe, did you bring it in a peaceful way?”

No matter how you look at it, it’s something they won’t readily give away, but if there’s no physical violence, it’s peace.

“Looking at it, there are a lot of types of alcohol, right? You have to drink, so what’s the point if you just pile them up like that? I’m sure they’ll be waiting for you to drink this too.”

It was something that the leader of the punitive force would shed tears of blood upon hearing it, but it was not my concern.

“And the results of the investigation on vampires have also come out. Are you curious?”

“Wasn’t he just a monster who learned witchcraft?”

“I thought we were like that too… But it turned out to be more entangled than I thought. The result was a bit shocking.”

“Does it have anything to do with the real Blood Bridge?”

I was distracted by alcohol and said it without really thinking about it, but

“..I think so.”

..It was real.

.
.
.

“..Are you Jiangshi?”

“Yes. As a result of checking, all the vampires identified in this vampire incident were confirmed to have already died. As short as a few weeks, as long as a few months ago.”

The Jiangshi I know is something like a zombie that jumps around with its legs together and its arms outstretched, but it must have had a slightly different meaning in this world.

Actually, if you look at the word for undead, it seems to be almost the same…

‘Sucking blood… Long fingernails… Dead and resurrected?’

Isn’t this almost a vampire?

It’s just that he didn’t get burned by the sun. He’s almost a vampire.

Did you think you should have brought garlic?

‘..No way. Probably not.’

Why are there vampires in Murim?

You’d better think it was just a coincidence.

“Well, that’s why they say there’s an uproar right now in the Moorim Order… I don’t know the details because only the higher ups know about it.”

“You don’t even know Sojeo?”

“No matter how great I am, it’s at the level of the late index. It’s not a place for me.”

Dang Aying sighed and shook her head.

It must have been the story that the Moorim Alliance was paying that much attention to blood ties.

‘I hope they don’t have an accident later.’

By the way, if the midfield gets involved in a war, I will jump right into the mountains.

It’s boring, but it’s better than living in a world where you might die.

Master will be there by then, so at least you won’t be alone.

-Sreuk

After drinking, I took out a travel booklet and started reading it again.

It’s a book that organizes famous places in Anhui Province, but I wanted to visit all the places in this book as much as possible.

“Come to think of it, you read that book often these days? Are you interested in Anhui?”

Oh come to think of it, I didn’t say anything.

“I’m going on a trip for a while.”

“…”

“Sozer?”

“..Where are you going?”

Dang Ah-yeong’s voice felt strangely cold.

“A trip. I think I’ve been living in Shaanxi for quite some time, so I’m thinking of going to Anhui for a bit of refreshment. Through Henan.”

“Travel..”

“I’ve been making a lot of money lately, but I feel like it’s a waste to spend the same amount of money and gambling every day.”

“…”

“Why are you silent?”

“When?”

Dang Ah-yeong’s atmosphere felt strange.

The atmosphere is obviously different from the usual Dang Ah-young.

“I’m almost ready and I’m leaving soon. In the next few days.”

“…Then what about the face?”

“…”

I wondered why the atmosphere was so serious, and it was because of her face.

Were you curious about her face like that?

“Didn’t she say that she would show it someday? She came and went anytime..”

“I know when you’ll be back.”

“…”

“Show me before you go. Today.”

Dang Ah-yeong came over and grabbed the chair I was sitting on.

I began to worry inwardly as I clearly showed my will not to let him run away like this.

‘Can I really reveal it?’

[Don’t show your face. You are destined to be greatly angry later because of that face.]

Master’s prophecy.

And if you add up the honest feelings of my face I saw in the mirror

Perhaps, if he had exposed his face from the first time he appeared in Gangho, he might not have been able to come to Seomyeon.

It was the kind of appearance that made me wonder if he was kidnapped and sold in the middle.

He looks like someone who thinks he’s a noble from a good family and wants to kidnap him and extort the ransom.

‘Well, Dang Ah-yeong wouldn’t do something like that.’

Dang Ah-young’s family is already one of the best in the central plain, so I won’t do that.

If you’re just worried about something else

“..Can I trust you?”

Looking at her face, he said that Dang Ah-young’s attitude would be different from now, and that she was worried that she would talk differently.

“Where can I go and tell you?”

“No matter what happens, I won’t tell you.”

“Ha..”

Okay.

Dang Ah-young would be trustworthy.

I don’t think the relationship will change so easily just because she’s known her so far and she shows her face.

It must be just the feeling of seeing a cute little brother.

It’s only the appearance, but the contents are completely adult, so you won’t feel young anyway.

“Let’s go somewhere where it’s just the two of us.”

“…Yes?”

“What is it? You can’t show it in a place where there are a lot of people. Isn’t there a place where there are absolutely no other people around? I don’t have a house, so I sleep in an inn.”

“…Huh…”

Dang Ah-young let out a strangely heavy breathing sound.

I thought the sound he made when he was thinking was really unique.

“Um… Then… Shall we go to my house?”

“Did you have a house in Sojeo?”

“I don’t usually use it well… But I do.”

“That’s fine. Let’s go there.”

-Shaking

Dang Ah-yeong’s body trembled.

“Well, then I’ll go. This is my house, right? Did you say you were coming?”

Why bother checking multiple times?

She held the hand of Dang Ah-yeong, who kept acting frustrated.

“Which way. It’s late at night, so we have to go quickly.”

I was very busy because I planned to show it quickly and then go back and drink ginseng wine.

So, I couldn’t help but feel frustrated with Dang Ah-yeong who kept acting so sluggishly.

“..Night…”

Today, Dang Ah-young’s voice felt strangely frightening.

.
.
.

Dang Ah-yeong’s house was better than expected.

No matter how much I live alone, I never thought it would be this big.

“Anyway, for training, you need a lot of facilities. You have to study Dokdo… And you have to train…”

It made sense to me that she doesn’t usually write.

If I had to use a house this big by myself, even if I was like myself, I wouldn’t be able to use it because it would be burdensome.

“Did you close the door properly?”

“..Yes.”

After making sure all the doors to her house were closed, she put her hand on her cloak.

– Exciting

After she bought the cloak, her heart started beating involuntarily at the situation where she showed her face to others, which she had been hiding almost all the time.

Master told her to cover her face, but I kept thinking that I could ignore it.

It was the final choice.

As it is, she lowers her hat and exposes her face..
