Chapter 6 – Chapter 1 – Destiny I Met in Shaanxi

“Ah, I slept well.”

The Murim man came out after spending the night in an inn far away from the inn he had met.

“Here you are!”

“Ah.”

When I came out, the man I saw yesterday was waiting for me.

“How was my point helpful?”

“It worked. It went really well, thank you.”

“Then I’m glad. I’m glad I met you again. I don’t want to hear about the death of someone I don’t know.”

Seeing him alive like this, fortunately, the danger seemed to have passed safely.

“Anyway how…”

“Would you like to go inside instead of standing here and talking?”

The man seemed to have a lot to ask.

And I had no intention of refusing.

“I want to fill my empty stomach with alcohol in the morning.”

.
.
.

“Keueuu- Of course, there must be alcohol in the conversation. Sohyeop really lives, right?”

“Haha, what’s so hard about serving a drink to a life saver? Don’t worry.”

“Now, so what are you curious about? You’ve been treated to alcohol. You’re the first person I’ve seen in a long time. Feel free to ask questions.”

Having said this, I knew roughly what the man was going to ask.

“..How did you know?”

This is a range that can be predicted sufficiently without foreknowledge.

“Have you been attacked while washing?”

“Right.”

“Haha.. I don’t know if I can use the expression ‘lucky’, but I’m glad for now. This is because there are often times when my foreknowledge goes wrong.”

According to my divination, this man was destined to die that night, giving his back to an assassin while washing his face.

In fact, it’s not even a grandiose expression to the point of being called fate. Because you can get away with it.

“Didn’t I tell you? A fortune teller. A sorcerer who receives the energy of the sky and peeks at the records of the sky. Is it so surprising that a fortune teller can see the future?”

“No… That’s not it…”

“You think you’re just lucky. So-hyeop was lucky enough to meet a dragon fortune teller and survived because of that.”

I knew it yesterday when I was fortune-telling, but it turned out that the bad luck seemed very strong because now was the end.

Didn’t you say don’t be new to the governor of life?

The bad luck is a coward-like guy who doesn’t dare to come back once he’s properly defeated.

If you ambiguously defeat them, they will stick to you instead.

“Come to think of it, it’s at best like this. Wouldn’t you like to give me a full voice?”

“Ah. Come to think of it, I haven’t even given a full name yet. They say it’s Namgoongjin.”

“Oh, you were the son of a noble family.”

I expected it, but I can’t believe it’s Namgung’s age.

He was from a noble family.

Seeing that he even sent an assassin, it seems that he is not being treated well in the family.

“Well, he’s a child. Still, he’s receiving minimal support, but it doesn’t seem like he’s actually recognized as a member of the family.”

“By the way, your tone has become quite open-minded?”

“That’s because you were the first suspicious person I’ve ever seen.”

“Well. I admit that.”

Namgung-jin seemed to have loosened his guard against me since yesterday.

It was a good thing from my point of view. Because I had to ask him for help.

“Anyway, is that air leak so scary? Be careful of the water. It’s vague, but isn’t it too ambiguous?”

“Hmm.. How scary is the leak of heaven..”

It seems that he is dissatisfied with the fact that he was vaguely informed.

“Let’s take an example. If I had told Sohyup Namgungjin at that time, ‘When you wash today, an assassin will come after you, so be careful.'”

“You will never know when, where, and how the assassin will seek the life of the small group.”

“You mean you can’t even see it from your point of view?”

“That’s basic, and it’s going to be harder to survive than when it flowed the way you saw it at the beginning. It’s a sin of daring to leak the heavenly secrets. For example, if the assassin that Xiaoxia faced was second-rate, the next assassin who would seek Xiaoxia’s life would be first-class. It will be.”

If you try to avoid your fate by leaking heavenly secrets, Heaven prepares for a harsher fate.

“Well, I will be punished as well.”

“What kind of punishment is it?”

“Haha, you’d better not know.”

Celestial punishment

A punishment from heaven.

The punishment that comes down for the sin of daring to reveal the heavenly secret is very severe.

“And even though I want to talk, I can’t.”

“Even that is a heavenly leak.”

To put it in good terms, it is to receive the energy of the sky and spread it to the surroundings.

It is truly magic.

.

“Are you planning to go to Shaanxi?”

“Yes. It’s safe that way and business seems to be going well.”

“It won’t be easy for an outsider who has nothing to go alone and start bare-bones. I’ll write a letter of introduction to a merchant I had a relationship with while coming here and an acquaintance in Shaanxi, so take it with you. Get paid here.”

Namgoongjin was a better person than I thought.

I received a lot of money, and the merchant who was introduced allowed me to ride a carriage together, saying that I had to go to Shaanxi.

After such a long journey, I was able to reach Shaanxi.

* * *

I took the letter of introduction written by Namgoong Jin and headed for the academy.

What was your name..

“Ah Dang Ah-young.”

Seeing that the last name is Dang, I wonder if it is the Dang family I know.

‘Does your network seem wider than you thought?’

Well, come to think of it, the other side is also from the five generations, so it wouldn’t be strange to have a relationship with the Tang family.

Still, it was a little more than I imagined that Oh Dae-se, a student at the academy, was a human being.

Because I think it will be very helpful for me.

‘I should ask them to spread some rumors.’

When I went to the academy with a swollen heart, I saw buildings of enormous scale.

It must have been a very important building.

‘There is a guard from the entrance.’

The moment I was contemplating how to talk to him, he called from the other side.

“What are you here for?”

“..I’ve been looking for someone.”

“Ah. It’s because we can’t just bring in outsiders. If there’s anything like a letter, I’ll deliver it.”

..The guards were kinder than I thought.

.
.
.

I need to retract what I said earlier.

Namgoong Jin was more crazy than I thought.

‘Crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy’

“So… You came here after being introduced by Namgung-jin, right?”

I was bowing my head in front of the woman who had been summoned after receiving Namgung-jin’s letter of introduction at the teahouse.

As it turned out, it wasn’t like they didn’t have a one-on-one relationship or anything like that. It was also true that they were friends. That’s right…

“I never thought I’d hear that person’s name again in my lifetime…”

“…”

It wasn’t until I met her that I learned about their relationship.

[You confessed to me in the past and asked me to stay with you as friends. My friend is right.]

‘I’m not really crazy..’

The days when Namgoong Jin was in school

I confessed to Dang Ah-young and got dumped.

And she dropped out.

..It was such a relationship.

‘Did you have any complaints about me?’

Didn’t you keep in mind the fact that you couldn’t tell me because of the leak?

No really this…

“That… Actually, I’m not that close with Namgoongjin..”

“It’s okay. It was written in the letter that he was the one who saved her life.”

No shit Wedge this?

‘This is where things go wrong…’

According to the merchant on the way, it was almost impossible to start a business around here without any help.

Land is also land, and merchants have already formed their own ties, so it is difficult to intervene.

But now it’s not that I can’t get help, it’s fortunate that I don’t get in the way.

‘What do we do? Get down on your knees and beg?’

I couldn’t waste my limited time, so I was thinking about acting servilely, but I heard unexpected words.

“..Well, this kind of relationship must be a relationship.”

“Yes?”

“I think it’s true that you’re a skilled fortune teller apart from that human. I’ll help you.”

It’s an angel

He’s an absolute angel

“Thank you thank you!”

“It’s not that I’m helping right away. I can’t completely trust Namgoong-jin’s words. I can’t completely rule out the possibility that the two of them will hit.”

“No problem. How can I prove it? Can I get you a fortune teller?”

“Can you see anything?”

“Yes. Anything is possible. Love luck is also possible.”

“No… That’s okay… That… Kuhmm… That’s…”

Dang Ah-yeong cleared her throat as her face blushed.

Are you asking for something embarrassing?

“I’m going to have an exam soon… Since I’m so absorbed in martial arts training, I can’t study well for the written exam… That’s… Great…”

“..Ah.”

In the end, it seems that all people live the same way.

.
.
.

Three days have passed.

“He’s definitely a talented fortune teller.”

“I’m glad you liked it.”

I tried to turn it around as much as I could to avoid air leakage, but it must have worked somehow.

“I’ll take care of the land and territorial issues. You think about how to decorate your fortune teller.”

“Yes!”

I thought of the structure of the fortune teller that I would make roughly based on her words.

At first, I only thought of a tent, but wouldn’t it be possible to do it more earnestly like this?

As I was fantasizing, I heard Dang Ah-young’s voice once again.

“And I have a condition on my side too.”

“Oh, of course you should listen.”

“Even if the other cadets come, you can’t do what you did for me.”

“…”

“I can’t see clearly, but I feel like I can sense something.”

“No. Of course I have to listen.”

“I-I’m just saying this in case it looks like I’m the only one doing this to benefit, but if this goes viral in the academy, could the academy come to find us?”

“..Ah!”

“This, this is just an unavoidable plan for you to run a fortune teller safely. There is absolutely no other plan.”

It sounds like an excuse, but it’s true.

If all the students come to find out about the exam questions, it will be difficult for the academy.

“Yes. I understand that. It must be dangerous.”

“And there is one more condition.”

“What is it?”

“Show me your face.”

“…It’s not possible.”

I’d rather ask for half of the profits, but I can’t face it.

Never.
