n“It’s an honor to meet you.”

nYeon Ha-rin politely bowed.

nThe Homuryeon-ju Baek Li-yeop laughed.

n“You must be Yeon Ha Rin. I have heard a lot about you.”

nHomu-ryeonju glanced over and looked behind her.

n“Isn’t the child who came with you inside?”

nIn the question of Homu-ryunju, the question also included why not go together and go alone.

nYeon Ha-rin looked embarrassed.

n“I couldn’t… I couldn’t call him because he seemed to be doing something important.”

n“Huh?”

nHo Mu-ryeon-ju looked puzzled. Apparently, it seemed that she hadn’t asked or confirmed what he was doing.

n‘Do they actually have a bad relationship?’

nHe heard that the two were very special.

nHomu-ryeonju thought it would be nothing. When they are young like that, wasn’t it natural for them to fight like that sometimes?

nSooner or later they will not be able to live without each other again. According to what he has heard.

n“I would like to meet the child inside, what would you do?”

nYeon Ha-rin was restless.

nSentimentally, she wanted to go in with Ho Mu Ryeon-ju and see what Byeoktaesan was doing now.

nHowever, she thought that Homu-ryeonju should not interfere with him.

nIf so, she has to tell him not to do that, but how would she dare to say that to Homu-ryeonju?

nHo Mu Ryeon-ju smiled when he saw Yeon Harin’s affirmation.

n“If you are uncomfortable, you can go the way you were going, so what are you worried about?”

n“That’s not why… … .”

nYeon Ha-rin closed her eyes tightly.

n“I don’t think Ryeonju-nim should bother the lord.”

nHis eyes widened.

nHe didn’t even think she was so restless because she wanted to say that.

n“Hmm.”

nHomu-ryeonju quietly admired that.

nHe had to admire the fact since it was never easy to say that kind of thing to himself.

nHe clearly felt that she really cared for the child, Byeoktaesan, inside.

nAfter seeing that, he started were coveting her a bit.

n‘I think she will go very well with my grandson Moonryang, but it’s a pity.

nShe already had a fiancé. Otherwise, he coveted her to the point where he wanted to somehow connect her with his grandson Baek Ri Moon-ryang.

nHomu-ryeonju laughed.

n“My skill is not low by any means, so I shouldn’t get in the way. If you thought with common sense, don’t you think it will be rather helpful than being a bother?”

n“Ah… … !”

nShe thought that might be possible.

nHomu-ryeonju was a great master.

nThere were not so many people in the world who were stronger than the Homu-ryeonju.

nSo, if he made up his mind, it will be of great help to Byeoktaesan.

n“My thoughts were short.”

nYeon Ha-rin said so and bowed her head slightly.

nEven deeper regret passed in the eyes of Homu-ryeonju who saw that.

n“If you do, go ahead and go enjoy the exchange. I’m going to meet your fiancé here for a second.”

nSuddenly, when he said that he was her fiancé, and Yeon Ha-rin’s face turned red.

nYeon Ha-rin did not say goodbye and quickly stepped back.

nHo Mu Ryeon-ju gazed happily at the image and then stepped into the dorm.

nThere was no fear of confusing the room because he already looked into what room Byeoktaesan was using.

nHo Mu Ryeon-ju approached Byeoktaesan’s room.

nAnd right as he was going to make it known he was there, he felt something strange.

nHe could immediately see what Yeon Ha-rin meant earlier.

nHe really seemed to be facing an important moment inside.

nHe felt strongly that he should never mess with him right now.

n‘This guy… There really is something.’

nHo Mu Ryeon-ju built up his will.

nIt’s just a weird feeling.

nIt will not be able to break the will that he has properly established.

nAt the moment when he was willing and opened his mouth, someone blocked Homu-ryeonju.

nIt was Chun Gyeong-wan and Yoo Seo-yeon.

nThe two politely took a bow in front of Ho Mu Ryeonju.

nYet, he didn’t say a word. As if he didn’t wish to disturb Byeoktaesan by making a useless sound.

nWhen he saw them, the will of the Homuryeonju that had been upright disappeared.

nIt was more like Ho Mu Ryeon-ju let go of his own will.

nHe pointed his chin out to the outside and left the lodge.

nChun Gyeong-wan and Yoo Seo-yeon carefully followed.

n* * *

nByeoktaesan slowly opened his eyes.

nTime must have passed. After accepting Soso’s spiritual power, he fell into a trance.

nByeoktaesan measured the time.

nUsually, when you fall into a trance, you don’t know how much time passed. Whether a day has passed or ten days have passed, it will seem like you closed your eyes for a moment and then opened them.

nBut that was not the case for Byeoktaesan.

nSince Byeoktaesan set up a sense of time in a way that is completely different from ordinary people, even if he fell into a trance for such a long time, he could immediately see how much time had passed.

nIt was a standard that only those who had mastered the Spirit Absorption martial art could have.

n“Just over a day huh.”

nHe just blew over the entire second day.

nBut it didn’t matter. He had no intention of coming here anyway and doing anything.

nAnyway, it was the Hubei next-generation meeting.

nThe Gold Wall merchants which Byeoktaesan hailed from was not a martial arts household, and even if they were, he had no intention of interacting with them.

nIf Yeon Ha-rin continued to encourage him, he could be forced to join her once or twice, but that was all.

nThere was nothing that Byeoktaesan can get here.

nRather, if the guys here are lucky, they can get something from Byeoktaesan.

nAnyway, Byeoktaesan rose from his seat.

nSince he had been sitting for more than a day, he needed to relax at least once.

nOf course, if Byeoktaesan’s physical condition had been perfect, it wouldn’t have been necessary, but it was still a long way to be perfect, so now he had to meticulously relax his body.

nByeoktaesan walked slowly.

nIf he wanted to walk forward, he had to change direction, and he wanted to step backward, and then he would stand in front a few steps.

nAt the same time, the limbs and upper body were constantly moving, and the appearance was like dancing, swordsmanship, and a style of martial arts.

nHow much did he move so far? Byeoktaesan’s whole body was soaked with sweat.

n“Woo. It’s fun to do this after a long time.”

nIn the past, it was a cumbersome and boring practice, but it was quite fun after decades.

nAll of the motions and flows clearly emerged in his mind.

nNo, it went beyond that.

nWhat Byeoktaesan just did was a walk called Cheondunbo.

nThe founder was the first Cheonma of Cheonma Shinkyo, who created the Spirit Absorption art.

nAnd it was a basic skill that didn’t fit that grand name.

nBut just unfolding it, Byeoktaesan definitely felt. This Cheondunbo really fits the name.

nAfter reaching the stage, the basics were visible again. The basics he had learned weren’t wrong, but there was a better way.

nBecause it is the realm of enlightenment, the trick of the ascension could not be accepted just because it was taught to others.

n“I have to do it every other day or two in the future.”

nByeoktaesan mumbled like that and opened the room door.

n“Soso, prepare a bath for me.”

nAt Byeoktaesan’s words, a nearby room door opened as if they were waiting, and Soso, Danyoung, and Chaewol burst out.

nAnd they started to move busily.

nIn an instant, a hot bath was ready. It was water slightly drenched with herbs.

nAfter taking a leisurely bath, Byeoktaesan came out of the bath in a refreshing mood.

nAnd he smiled as he watched the three servants standing politely.

n“Shall I take a look at your martial arts?”

nAt that, Soso raised her head and looked at Byeoktaesan.

nHer eyes were glowing.

nIt was an anxious look and eyes that wanted to show off something.

nProbably, when Byeoktaesan was in a trance, she tried some training.

nWhenever he see those eyes, he always felt as if he wanted to make fun of her at least once.

n‘But… Your face has become strangely cute?’

nSoso wasn’t an ugly face in the first place. However, it wasn’t enough to be on the level of the other beauties.

nBut now the missing part was just right. It meant that she became a beautiful woman.

nBesides, most of her beauty was focused on the cuteness side.

nProbably, the expression will be released no matter who sees it. Even the innocence is imbued, so even those who have built hatred would lose it after seeing Soso.

nIt was even cuter to see with such a face shining in his eyes.

nProbably, most people would have heard what they wanted as soon as they saw it.

nThe problem was that the person watching it was Byeoktaesan.

n“Oh, it turns out that I have some work to do?”

nAt Byeoktaesan’s words, Soso quickly became a depressed face.

nThat was also very cute.

nDan-young and Chae-wol, on both sides of Soso, were already laughing softly, covering their mouths as if they had already fallen for the cuteness.

nThey knew that Byeoktaesan was making fun of Soso.

n“Shall I put off work?”

nSoso’s face came back to life. She raised her head and stared at Byeoktaesan.

nIt was not visible, but a dog’s tail seemed to spin round and round from behind.

n“Ah, can I not put it off?”

nSo-so was swamped again with a depressed face.

n“But since I’m saying I’ll do it later, who would question me?”

nAt this point, Soso had no choice but to notice.

n“Ahhh. My lord, you are teasing me right now aren’t you?”

nByeoktaesan smiled and looked at Soso.

n“So, are you not going to practice martial arts?”

n“Hehe. I have to. You want to see it now?”

n“Is there any place to practice quietly around here?”

nDan-young immediately answered Byeoktaesan’s question.

n“There is a small arena attached to the property. I know no one is using it.”

nEven while Byeoktaesan was in a trance, she seemed to have practiced martial arts steadily.

n“Let’s go there.”

nSoso took the lead with excitement. No, she was going to.

nIf all of a sudden, Chun Gyeong-wan and Yoo Seo-yeon did not appear.

nChun Gyeong-wan and Yoo Seo-yeon were just entering the dorm. As soon as the two saw Byeoktaesan, they were startled and ran.

n“My lord, are the important things over?”

nChun Gyeong-wan first asked that.

nByeoktaesan looked at him with a puzzled expression.

nIn fact, even in a state of ecstasy, he was checking very little of the changes occurring around him.

nHe knew the extent to which people approached and returned.

nIt was possible because the martial arts mastered by Byeoktaesan was the Spirit Absorption.

nEven in a state of trance, the spirit of the soul opens wide and accepts the surrounding sensations little by little.

nBut he didn’t know if that was an important moment for them to come and not disturb it.

n“Have everyone just waited so far so as not to disturb me?”

nFive people here looked at Byeoktaesan with positive eyes.

nByeoktaesan immediately felt a strange feeling.

nHe didn’t feel too bad.

n‘I must have changed to be sentimental because I was born again.’

nIn the past, his emotions hardly moved. It’s not that he didn’t have emotions, it was just so dull that it was not easy to make a difference.

nBut after he was born again, it had changed significantly.

nByeoktaesan felt light, but he put weight into his nod and nodded.

n“I see. The important work was done well because no one was disturbing.”

nAt Byeoktaesan’s words, Chun Gyeong-wan politely bowed.

n“Congratulations.”

nHe doesn’t know what it was, but he thought that it was a great achievement to have an important job done.

nEveryone said it.

n“Congratulations.”

nByeoktaesan was again in a strange mood when he received the greeting.

nThe corners of the mouth went up.

n“But where are you going?”

nCheon Gyeong-wan quickly answered the question of Byeoktaesan.

n“We were on our way back from meeting with Homu-ryeonju.”

n“Homu-ryeonju?”

n“Yes. He came to meet you, but he just went back. He left a message saying when you come out to come visit him immediately.”

nByeoktaesan smiled.

n“He told me to come right away?”

n“Yes.”

nByeoktaesan looked at Soso while saying that.

nSoso’s expression was stained with disappointment.

n“If he wants to see me, he will have to come to find me on his own.

n“Yes?”

nEveryone looked at Byeoktaesan in amazement.

nBut Byeoktaesan told Soso without blinking an eye.

n“What are you doing? Are you not planning on practicing martial arts?”

n“Ah… … !”

nSoso was so surprised and opened her eyes wide. All kinds of emotions raged. It was not only Soso but also others.

nByeoktaesan walked toward the training hall without seeing their expressions and eyes at all.

nEveryone looked at the back of Byeoktaesan with a complicated gaze.

n“Who does he think he is to tell me to come or go? What a cheeky guy.”

nWhen they heard Byeoktaesan muttering that they were shocked.

n
