Chapter 452 – King Yan’s Disciple 4 (29)
It is confirmed that Jegal Seon-ah is here, but I am not sure if the other one is Yeon-hwa as I expected.
After receiving information from the gatekeeper, I crossed through the main gate with Sohye.
When the servants saw me, they bowed their heads and said hello and looked around lightly, but they didn’t see Yeonhwa.
Thinking that there would be a chance to meet him if he was at the manor, I walked to my father’s office, who would know everything about the family.
I noticed a sign of presence beyond the door and spoke so that the person inside could hear.
“Father, this is Xian.”
“You’re back. Come in.”
“Yes.”
When I opened the door and went in, my father, mother, eldest brother, sister-in-law, and Jegal Seon-ah were sitting around us.
Zhuge Xian’s face, which I had not seen in a long time, was tinged with fatigue, which seemed to be due to what happened at Nangong’s family.
“Jegal Soje, it’s been a while.”
“Yes. I’ve heard a lot about Han Sohyeop. Does Sohye remember meeting me?”
“Seon-ah, it’s been a while since I saw you.”
Shahemos bowed his head slightly.
After a brief exchange of names, I entered the room completely and was about to close the door when my father spoke.
“It may be difficult for Sohye to hear, but you be the judge.”
“This uphill journey wasn’t that smooth, and I was there for it, so I think I deserve to hear it.
I closed the door with an answer.
I don’t know how much Zhuge Xian discussed with his family, but I think I will explain it in an easy-to-understand manner.
“Is it okay for me, as a customer, to talk to a small cooperative?”
Jegal Seon-ah made eye contact with her family and gave her silent permission, and then she looked at me.
Finally, when I got her to nod, Jegal Suna sighed and started talking.
“Phew. It’s because of the old Sword King that problems arose throughout Anhui.”
“I think I heard great things from the beginning…?”
I guessed that there might be a problem with the old Sword King, but Jegal Seon-ah stamped that it was true.
“Let me go back a few days. There was an incident when the old man of the sword took Hyun and went somewhere. I kept waiting for the two people to come back from Namgung Sega, and when they came back, they were very different from when they left.”
“How much has changed that makes you so sure?”
“Hyeon has his left arm back.”
Zhuge Xian’s face as he said those words was a mixture of various emotions that were difficult to pinpoint.
The main emotions were joy at having my fiancé’s arm back and fear at the knowledge that it was generally impossible.
With her dry smile, Jegal Seon-ah began to continue her story.
“Hyeon was not at all happy that he had regained the left arm he lost during the Yongbongbimuje. Instead, he blamed himself. He said that it was because of him that he caused trouble with the old Sword King, and that he did something he should not have done.”
I heard from Namgung-hyeon that there was a problem with the old Geomwang, so I thought he didn’t say there was a problem.
From what I’ve seen, if it were Jegal Seon-ah, she would have collected solid evidence and then come to me for help.
“Hyeon said that her left arm was her grandfather’s arm and that her grandfather received her arm from that woman, but a problem arose with that arm.”
After hearing the story of ‘the woman’ and ‘the arm’, I felt like I knew who caused this situation.
Kaena, didn’t she say she would wait for me to grow up? Wasn’t that the reason you shared your body with me and gave me your vagina?
I felt like I needed to put aside my hatred for Kaena and learn more about the problem.
“What problem occurred with the old Sword King’s arm?”
“The door through which the monster appears is opened in that arm. The door is maintained by sucking in the inner energy of the old Sword King so that the monster can continue to appear.”
The Sword King is used like a magic stone to open a portal.
I felt like Kaena was crazier than I thought.
“Are you unable to solve the problem because the warriors of the Namgung family have to fight the old sword king?”
“What one small group is saying is that they think that the sword king’s arm opened the door to the monster by sacrificing him, but it’s a little different. The sword king’s arm came out and opened the door, and the sword king connected to the door opened the door as if possessed by something. When the swordsmen guarding it approach to cut down the door, they have to fight the old sword king, but they can’t win.”
“If you came to the Red Realm to ask me to defeat the Sword King, you would be in trouble. There would be someone more qualified than me.”
“I don’t know where King Yeom and King Dao are, and King Dark is really far away. I don’t know where the other three kings are…”
“Do you see me as the next of the Seven Kings of Wulin?”
She said to Jegal Sun-ah with an awkward smile.
I’m still at level 4. There are too many masters in this world to be considered next to the Seven Kings, so am I the only one who can ask for help?
“No, but I am hoping that one small group will become the next king.”
Zhuge Xian came over and held my hand tightly, looking up at me with a few tears in his face.
“And the roads to and from Anhui are blocked, so I can’t send the request elsewhere. The one small group in front of me right now is not the most likely to put an end to what happened in the Nangong family, but for some reason, I think one small group could do it.”〈 Br〉
“Personally, I don’t like throwing my life into danger just because there is a possibility…”
After saying that, I took a look at the faces of my family.
My father’s expression showed little change, as if he was waiting for my choice, and the rest of the family seemed to want me to reject it.
(What should Shahemos do?)
(Hasn’t the master already decided?)
After hearing Shahemos’ words, I closed my eyes for a moment and then told Jegal Seon-ah about my decision.
“I have just returned, so I will rest for a bit and then go to Nangong Sega. If it seems impossible for me to solve the problem, I will return and guard the enemy’s territory and wait for Master.”
“Yes. That’s enough. I’d like to ask you for a favor…”
Zhuge Xian, who had asked me for a favor, excluding personal reasons, bowed his head.
I wasn’t crying out loud because he asked me to send him to a dangerous place.
He was wiping away tears with his hands and was shaking slightly, so I thought about patting his back and comforting him, but stopped extending my hand.
“I think I will tell you about business related matters when my second brother returns. I will take a short break to do what I have to do as a martial artist.”
“Yes. If I need your power, I will do so.”
As I bowed my head to her family and left the office with Shahe Mos, I was able to meet another woman who had come with Zhuge Suna.
“Prince Han.”
Yeonhwa was standing in front of the door without makeup and wearing thick clothes that completely curtailed her natural body curves.
Her long black hair and beautiful face didn’t change, but the biggest difference was her stomach.
Yeonhwa was holding her fairly swollen belly with both hands, but I did not pay long attention to her belly.
“Yeonhwa, you followed Jegal Soje.”
“Yes. I wasn’t good enough to be a nanny, but I was lucky.”
I couldn’t talk about anything more than that right now because my family was behind me.
As there was a big difference in our positions, I passed by Yeonhwa and entered the room.
I entered the room and placed the White Phosphorus Flame God Gauntlet on the table and roughly set up the yellow bat I was carrying on my back.
“It’s been a while since I’ve been in bed.”
Shahemos immediately climbed into bed and rubbed his face on the blanket, and I sat next to him and looked at the ceiling.
‘Can I do it?’
【3】
【Han Sian-(100%)+(EX 35%)】
【Level: 4】
【Combat power: 1699+(532)】
After defeating Akajin, there was no growth in combat power even though I fought small battles and used the Yeonyeong Shingoku (連影神功) for breakfast every night.
Does this mean that something will change every 100 units from now on? This is my first time raising my combat power to this point, so I’m not sure.
“If you have to go, you’d better go as quickly as possible.”
“If the West has to do everything in its power, wouldn’t it be better for me to disappear completely?”
“That would be better.” Even if you minimize your mana to the point of leaving only a shell, I can feel that you still have a part of my inner strength. I think I can come back quickly if I install a warp marker. Just do that.”
“Anyway, I have to follow you. I feel like I’ll stop you if I tell you I’m going to a dangerous place. What should I say?”
“I have to leave without my family knowing. If you want to get there as quickly as possible, it’s best to go at night. Let’s leave after dinner.”
I decided to leave as soon as I got home, but I know that the sooner something like this can be done, the better.
‘Kaena will definitely be my enemy the next time I meet her.’
If you were planning on fighting like this, I don’t know why you gave me your body.
*
As I was getting ready to secretly leave after dinner, the employee outside said to me.
“Youngest master, Jegal Soje asked if you were free.”
Using presence detection, I was able to see that there were three people outside at the door.
“I can’t give you much time.”
“Han Sohyeop, just a moment is enough.”
“Please come in.”
After receiving my permission, Jegal Seon-ah and Yeonhwa entered the room together and closed the door.
Yeonhwa, who was full, sat down first, and Jegal Seon-a also sat next to her.
It seems like the positions of master and servant are reversed, but it doesn’t matter.
“I thought it would be nice if Han So-hyeop and Yeon-hwa had a chat before going somewhere that looks like they are getting ready to leave.”
After hearing Jegal Seon-ah’s words, Yeon-hwa made a shocked expression.
It looks like Yeonhwa accompanied him without knowing it? I looked at Yeonhwa and said something.
“Was the way down okay?”
“Yes. Although it wasn’t in the manor, warriors from the Zhuge family followed along as escorts for the young lady. We were able to ride in a carriage, and it was fine.”
“Then do you plan to give birth here?”
“I think I should refrain from moving long distances now… I received permission from the Lord of the Sangang. I thought he would reject me because the Sangdan was in danger because of me, but he told me that he was precious even if he was the child of a courtesan whose father he did not know exactly.”
Since Yeonhwa is one of the courtesans that I have mixed up with, I thought there was a small chance that she could be my child, so I thought she might be her.
“I hope you take good care of yourself until the birth.”
But this was all I could say to Yeonhwa, who had decided that she was carrying a courtesan’s child.
“Yes. Young master Han, please take care of yourself.”
When the story ended like that, Yeonhwa got up first, and Zhuge Seonah looked at me and Yeonhwa alternately, and then followed Yeonhwa out of the room.
After briefly looking at the door where the two women left, I put on my gauntlet and spoke to Shahemos.
“Let’s go.”
