Chapter 315 – Have You Been Deceiving Me All This Time? (1)

As the strange woman, who was probably a traitor among traitors, wearing a bizarre mask moved away, Paeng Yeon-hwa gradually relaxed her body’s tension.

She had never fought against her before, but she was undoubtedly not an easy opponent. She had to appear hostile to her opponent without showing any weakness, but there was no point in fighting her.

“How did you get here?”

“I came because there was more power left than expected.”

Although there were many enemies, Paeng Yeon-hwa had no difficulty being at the forefront.

Some ran away, some were cut down, and some were in danger of being captured, so they took poison and died.

But thanks to holding some of them back from dying for a while, they were able to understand the situation here.

“Fahrenheit’s medicine is really amazing. I can’t believe that even those who took extreme poison can be saved for a while…”

“That’s right.”

But she couldn’t imagine that there was a master who could do that. Should she consider it a miracle that the man in front of her is still alive because she didn’t come out?

“Anyway, thank you. If it weren’t for Yeon-hwa, it could have been dangerous.”

“I just did what was natural, heh…”

Paeng Yeon-hwa looked around to see if anyone was watching as the man secretly grabbed her left hand without restraint.

As the rough hand touched the soft woman’s hand and the man’s face approached as if to kiss her cheek, her expression frowned at the approaching gesture without realizing the atmosphere.

“Uh… is everything over?”

When Hwa Un-cheon, who had regained some strength despite being tired, opened his mouth with a blank expression, Paeng Yeon-hwa, who had pushed the man away earlier, stepped forward.

“That’s right. Now that the enemies have all retreated, you can rest assured.”

After that, Hwa Un-cheon recognized Paeng Yeon-hwa’s identity and asked how she came to save them, but she just mumbled that she would answer later, and they began to clean up the area.

“Thank you so much!”

By the time they roughly cleaned up the area, people including Hwa Un-ak, who was grateful and held my hand tightly, had returned.

“I had to leave my brother behind, but how could I not feel guilty as a brother? But thanks to Kang So-hyeop, my brother is safe again!”

“Brother, what would I be if you were more grateful than me?”

While Hwa Un-cheon laughed, Hwa Un-ak did not stop.

“Kang Ho-jeong is truly amazing! What can I call this if not cooperation!”

“I’m embarrassed.”

I was really embarrassed. Was it because I only ate the millet porridge despite having the name of Guryong?

But hearing the words of gratitude made me feel okay.

While Hwa Un-ak was thanking everyone, I approached Ju Yak-seon.

“Are there any injured people?”

“Thanks to everyone’s help, there are hardly any. But…”

Ju Yak-seon’s expression darkened as she trailed off. It was understandable.

The medical supplies were almost destroyed, some people died from the poison the infiltrators had taken, and some even committed suicide.

It would be fortunate if they never came back, but there was no guarantee.

“I heard that you obtained some information from the enemies. What if you provide it to Muryeommaeng and ask for their help?”

“Well…”

It seemed like they didn’t obtain any significant information. Speaking of Muryeommaeng, Hwangbo Hyoseon came to mind.

‘I have to deal with that woman somehow.’

I had been asking her to keep our secret and it had been going smoothly, but now that I thought about meeting her again, I was at a loss because Geumseong was still in turmoil.

“Although Kang Ho-jeong has a considerable reputation, the situation in Geumseong is not good enough to ask for Muryeommaeng’s help…”

Although Muryeommaeng’s headquarters were only a few castles away in Seoan, it was not a distance that could be ignored.

“But Kang So-hyeop doesn’t have to worry. The rest is up to… Munju to decide.”

My expression must have become serious because Ju Yak-seon added hastily.

“Just helping today is more than enough.”

“…But if I come up with a good idea, I’ll let you know.”

Ju Yak-seon waved her hand, saying that she didn’t have to worry too much, but she would probably think about it while she was here.

After cleaning up the area, we were treated to a meal.

Since there were still victims, it wasn’t a festive atmosphere, but we were able to relieve some of the fatigue from the past few days thanks to the decent treatment.

We even had a drink or two, and Fahrenheit continued to urge Paeng Yeon-hwa to rest for a few days.

After all, Paeng Yeon-hwa was the representative of our group in the eyes of others.

“We cannot send our benefactor away in just one day.”

“Is that so… Then I will accept your kindness.”

“We watched from afar, but we didn’t oppose it, and in the end, we ended up staying here for a few days.”

After all, we were tired from the forced march and immediately fighting, so it seemed okay to take a break for a while.

But honestly, I felt sorry for staying for days, but my mother had a slightly different idea.

“If we stay here, it will become safer.”

Of course, there might be a calculation that they would repay the favor, but there might also be a calculation that they would protect here while staying.

I thought that if I wanted to, I could have sex here.

I didn’t want to waste my efforts by coming here to help Ju Yak-seon and then leaving without properly handling the aftermath.

“But we can’t stay here forever…”

“Well, that’s not our decision to make.”

My mother’s words sounded cold, but they were true.

If Fahrenheit Ilmunju didn’t ask for help, we couldn’t just step in and do this and that.

At most, we could express our opinions on what to do.

“I hope Muryeommaeng has the luxury to help.”

Even if it was at the edge of an island, it would have been much better if we were there, shaking our heads, seeing that my mother was also worried.

At that moment, I had a thought that crossed my mind.

“Mother, can’t the people here just join Muryeommaeng and live there?”

“What…”

My mother made an expression that she couldn’t believe it, then slightly furrowed her brow and fell into thought. And then she opened her mouth after a while.

“Oh, I see. Here is not Mugang.”

“Yes…?”

This time, I couldn’t understand what my mother was saying. My mother also seemed to have recognized that and explained it to me step by step.

If it were Mugang, running away from external attacks would be a big flaw.

It was no different from admitting that they were weak, and weak Mugang was no different from being suspicious of their existence.

If they had influence in a region, in the case of a large door faction, there was a risk of losing that influence itself.

However, Fahrenheit Ilmunju was not a martial artist, but a fundamental member, so they were free from such problems from the beginning, and therefore, my idea was a good one, according to my mother’s explanation.

“…But it’s a little difficult to tell Munju herself… I’ll tell Ju Yak-seon and come back.”

“Okay, it seems like Ju Yak-seon finished eating early and left her seat.”

Honestly, Geumsung was still scared, but I wasn’t going to Muryeommaeng anyway.

If Fahrenheit Ilmunju went to Muryeommaeng, they would naturally take care of all the nearby Muryeommaeng members with various treatments, and if they understood their value, they would send out high-level experts.

I got up from my seat to find Ju Yak-seon.

“Phew…”

Ju Yak-seon let out a worried sigh in a place where no one could see her.

I had to tell her not to worry in front of Kang Yoon, but in reality, there was no sharp way for her to handle the situation.

If they stayed here, they could feel relieved, but they couldn’t stay here forever. At best, they could stay for a few days, and she would have to leave as well.

A man approached her closely.

“Oh, the ground is going to swallow me.”

“…What are you doing here? Cheon-a.”

“Your face was full of worry, and how can I pretend not to see it as your younger brother?”

When Hwa Un-cheon spoke with a smug voice, Ju Yak-seon bit her tongue.

“Can you see everything?”

“I actually noticed you sighing.”

Ju Yak-seon finally smiled. When Hwa Un-cheon stood next to her, she opened her mouth.

“Aren’t you worried at all? The safety of the main gate…”

“Is there any reason to worry? But it won’t happen in the next day or two, so don’t worry too much.”

Her younger brother’s words were not wrong. But people’s hearts don’t always go as planned.

“There are also high-level experts that you brought, right? I heard that they will stay here for a few days, so you don’t have to worry during that time.”

“That’s good news…?”

At least that was fortunate. Despite her brother’s words, she couldn’t completely relax, but at least she didn’t have to be chased by anxiety.

“But when will they keep up that appearance?”

Ju Yak-seon’s heart was beating fast, and she was at a loss for words when her younger brother suddenly asked a question.

“I know you don’t like it when the men are too casual, but there’s no need to keep it up even after returning to the main gate, right?”

“…There are circumstances.”

Ju Yak-seon couldn’t explain what was going on, so she ended up being vague.

It was understandable. She couldn’t exactly tell her younger brother that the martial artist who saved his life with an unbelievable skill was actually a woman of her mother’s age who couldn’t even say a word of farewell.

If she said it, there would be more than a few people who would doubt her sanity.

“Oh, really? Come to think of it, there were members of the Pyeong Women’s Association. But they came all the way here for your sake, so there’s no need to try too hard to hide it.”

After hearing her younger brother’s words, Ju Yak-seon felt a pang of guilt.

The words that Maesohyang had said came to mind, and she felt sorry for still being wary of Kang Yoon, who had willingly helped her.

‘Should I tell the truth?’

To deceive one of the men in the organization, including the Gaju, some people, including her, were being treated not as “Ju Yak-seon, Gaju’s younger sister,” but as “Ju Yak-seon, who only studied math at Fahrenheit Ilmunju.”

Caught between her conscience and reality, Ju Yak-seon’s thoughts were interrupted by her younger brother’s voice.

“Oh, Kang So-hyeop! Did you enjoy your meal?”

“Hwa Daehyeop was also there. I enjoyed it very much.”

When she lifted her head, Kang Yoon was already quite close.

Startled, she turned to her younger brother, and her hearing returned.

[There’s no way he could have heard us from that distance, so don’t worry.]

After hearing the reassuring voice, she was followed by a murmur of not understanding why she was doing this, but anyway, Ju Yak-seon was relieved.

But she didn’t know.

The fact that her sensitivity had become so acute that she would be scared if the man who was approaching from far away and waving his hand in greeting was related to her lower body.
