Chapter 35 : Chapter 35

Chapter 35. Go Quickly! You Wench! (3)

Han Cheong-un and Dang Jin left Mount Hua.

Refreshingly, as if there was nothing more to do in Mount Hua.

Mount Hua looked like there was no big change from the outside, but internally, it was a quite tense atmosphere.

Elder Hyun Myeong angered the Sect Leader and is receiving great punishment.

Because such rumors spread.

In the thoughts of Mount Hua Sect disciples, their Sect Leader was never a person who got angry easily.

But once he got angry, it became very far from tolerance.

Thinking that sparks might fly, everyone laid low and was careful with words and actions.

In short, it was an atmosphere like walking on thin ice.

Amidst such a situation…….

“What? Is that true?”

“They say so. Senior Brother.”

“How can this be, truly Mount Hua’s great fortune.”

“Hahaha…….”

A happy event burst out in Mount Hua.

One Elder of Mount Hua, who was suffering from a serious illness and didn't know when she would die, revived.

It was Baek Sua’s master, Hyun Yuseol.

Even more, she didn't just survive.

She succeeded in Body Reformation by crossing the wall.

In that process, the illness was also naturally cured.

In Mount Hua with its daily tense atmosphere, this event was a happy event happening after a long time.

* * *

“Congratulations. Junior Sister.”

“I was lucky. Sect Leader Senior Brother.”

The Mount Hua Sword Immortal visited Hyun Yuseol’s quarters himself.

He rejoiced greatly sincerely after a long time.

‘Hoho……. To think there is such a happy event.’

He already heard by words.

But seeing directly in front of his eyes, she seemed to have the absolute realm right in front of her nose.

Originally, Hyun Yuseol possessed outstanding sword skills enough to be counted on one hand even among Mount Hua’s Elders.

Such a person overcame the threshold of death and became stronger.

From the position of the Mount Hua Sword Immortal who recently cut out the Third Elder Hyun Myeong, Hyun Yuseol’s return was truly heavenly luck.

The current Hyun Yuseol seemed sufficient to fill Hyun Myeong’s vacancy and have plenty left over.

“Infinite Life Buddha……. Truly heaven’s care.”

He laughed pleasantly.

And looking at Baek Sua sitting one step away next to her, he spoke.

“You suffered a lot of heart-ache.”

“No. Sect Leader.”

“Hahaha, a happy event. A happy event.”

The Mount Hua Sword Immortal rejoiced to his heart’s content without selfishness. Even after that, this and that conversation went back and forth between the two.

“Seeing Junior Sister rejuvenated like this, old thoughts come up naturally. I wonder if this will create lovesickness patients in mass in Huayin again.”

At the Mount Hua Sword Immortal’s joke, Hyun Yuseol covered her mouth and laughed, speaking.

“It is improper. Sect Leader Senior Brother. About an old granny, what…….”

“Do you not look in the mirror? Who would call you an old granny looking at you now?”

The Mount Hua Sword Immortal laughed heartily.

If one undergoes Body Reformation, a martial artist equips one’s body anew as the one in the prime.

In Hyun Yuseol’s case, it was a body in the mid-twenties, and consequently, she naturally found youth.

And her appearance was truly like a plum blossom in full bloom.

Gentle features and a voluptuous figure hard to hide even with a uniform.

If she even smiled, it seemed like spring had come with plum blossoms in full bloom.

The Mount Hua Sword Immortal looked at Baek Sua next to her and spoke.

“Do you know your Master’s alias in her young days?”

“I have never heard of it.”

“She was called Plum Blossom Comparing Jade. Hohoho. Truly pretty. Hmm, beautiful.”

“It is an old story. Sect Leader Senior Brother.”

“There were not just one or two men who crawled up this rough Mount Hua to see your face once.”

“Even now, there are quite a few who do so to see my disciple.”

“Hahaha. If things go well, the master and disciple will snatch the position of Shaanxi’s First Beauty over two generations. This is also our Mount Hua’s honor.”

The Mount Hua Sword Immortal stroked his beard and laughed pleasantly.

Having said good words for a long time like that, he stood up from his seat and spoke.

“If you happen to need anything, speak. With my authority as Sect Leader, I will grant most things.”

“Thank you. Even if not so, there will be a favor to ask earnestly soon.”

“Hahaha. Right. I understand well.”

After the Mount Hua Sword Immortal returned like that.

Hyun Yuseol sighed long and spoke.

“Phew, this is also a bit tiring.”

Accepting pouring congratulatory greetings one by one, mental fatigue rushed in regardless of the body that underwent Body Reformation.

To her, Baek Sua spoke.

“Shall we stop receiving guests today?”

“Right. Let’s do so.”

“I understand. Master.”

Baek Sua hung a guest refusal plaque at the entrance of the path going up to the thatched cottage.

Like this, there will be no more people visiting today.

And Baek Sua returning to the thatched cottage.

In her eyes was the appearance of her healthy Master holding a sword in the yard of the thatched cottage.

An appearance seen after a long time.

‘Master holding a sword.’

It is new, but happy.

She never dreamed in her dreams that Master’s illness would be cured.

If not for the Empty Clear Stone Milk Han Cheong-un gave, Master would be struggling even to get up from her seat by now.

The appearance of healthy Master is happy enough to bring tears just by looking. However…….

“…….”

One corner of her heart felt like a hole was punched through.

She herself knew well what the cause was.

‘Delusion.’

She, who sighed mixed with worry, entered the thatched cottage, and the Master holding the sword spoke.

“Sua.”

“Yes. Master.”

“Let’s compete in swords after a long time.”

“……Yes. I understand.”

Competing in swords with Master is after a long time, but sparring between master and disciple is a common thing, so it’s not strange.

But…….

“Hmm…….”

The moment she faced the sword, Baek Sua felt it.

The momentum felt from Master is extraordinary.

Just facing her, blade-like spirit felt piercing. Even…….

“I will enter first.”

Master took the initiative.

Usually in sparring between master and disciple, the disciple always has to take the initiative first.

The moment Master swung the sword, plum blossom petals bloomed in front of Baek Sua’s eyes.

Twenty-Four Plum Blossom Hands.

Plum Blossom Full Bloom.

Master’s specialty sword form.

Baek Sua also responded with the same sword form.

The inside of the thatched cottage soon became thick with plum blossom leaves due to the Plum Blossom Sword Qi blooming between the two.

Inside that flower storm, Baek Sua thought.

‘Doable.’

Did she rest for too long as expected?

Sharpness falls a bit in Master’s sword. Baek Sua squeezed into the gap of sword qi Master unfolded and made a space advantageous to her.

Now if she breaks the form here and connects to the next attack, she can seize the initiative.

But…….

Hook.

What?

Master spread her hand and extended it in front of her.

Palm technique? No. There is no movement of qi at all.

Then what is that……

“Ack!”

Baek Sua turned her head without realizing it at the stinging felt in her eyes.

And…….

Seueueuk.

Not missing that fatal gap, the cold Master’s sword touched her neck.

“I won.”

“……Ma…… ster?”

It is absurd.

Win or lose aside, just now this is…….

“Master. Just now……. What you did just now?”

“I threw dirt.”

She admits it very confidently.

Admitting confidently that she threw dirt during sparring with a disciple.

An Elder of Mount Hua who even underwent Body Reformation.

“…….”

To Baek Sua with her mouth dropped open, Master Hyun Yuseol retrieved her sword and spoke.

“Tsk, you don't know what real combat is.”

“Yes?”

“It’s swordsmanship like a flower in a greenhouse typical of you.”

“……Yes?”

Wow, this is unfair.

Really unfair.

Of course, to others’ eyes, she might look like a flower in a greenhouse.

But the her before regression is a martial artist of the battlefield who went through a whopping two Great Wars of Orthodox and Unorthodox.

Especially during the period active in the Evil-Annihilating Squad, repeating fierce bloody battles at the front lines always was daily life.

Truly mountain warfare, water warfare, aerial warfare, love warfare, etc.

There was no battle she hadn't tried.

But this treatment?

‘Should I show it too?’

If she makes up her mind, she can do actions twice as dirty as throwing dirt. To Baek Sua sulking like that, Hyun Yuseol spoke…….

“A cornerstone does not grow in a flowerpot.”

“…….”

“Go out to the world and learn.”

Baek Sua’s eyes opened flashingly.

“Master, those words……?”

“Go.”

“…….”

“And grab him.”

“……!”

“If it is such a man, there must be many women aiming for him. Going first and occupying the side seat is the best move.”

Eyes open flashingly.

As expected of Master.

She is someone who knows something.

Moved Baek Sua knelt on the spot and spoke with a moved voice.

“Master. Unworthy disciple Baek Sua. Seeing a wider world and growing bigger…….”

“Go quickly! You wench!”

“Yes!”

Baek Sua ran hurriedly.

Seeing her back figure, Hyun Yuseol smirked.

“Even without something like Dragon Eye, a child’s heart is all visible to a parent.”

* * *

Baek Sua ran.

Since Master’s permission fell, what would be regrettable? She shook off all hesitation and ran to Han Cheong-un’s side.

Now go and apologize to him and be together.

And…… And…….

‘I will confess this heart too.’

Master’s words are correct.

Preemption is important in romance too.

Before other women cling, occupy that side seat quickly to avoid the chaotic mess like before the regression.

This is also a matter for the entire Jianghu.

Were there only one or two women clinging to that person?

Thinking of the fierce political strife fought due to that complex confrontation structure, it is better for her to occupy that seat quickly.

This is also a matter for the peace of the Jianghu.

‘Good. Let’s go.’

She, who finished self-rationalization like that, ran fast and chased Han Cheong-un.

Asking people for his description, she specified the inn Han Cheong-un was staying at and went to find him; what she saw was…….

“Master, say Aaah~.”

“Young Mistress Dang. You don't have to do this…….”

“Hurry. Say Aaah~.”

What is this?

A peerless beauty with white hair who cannot help but grab attention at a glance is sticking right next to my man(?).

It is not white hair turned white from age.

White hair emitting light transparently and elastic skin where the freshness of youth is felt.

Truly, her existence that seemed to emit light just by existing…….

“Oh, you came?”

“Vice Cap……. No, Vice Sect Leader. What is that?”

At Baek Sua’s question, Dang Jin sighed and spoke.

“My younger sister.”

“If your younger sister……. Ah!”

Baek Sua also remembered.

The unfortunate woman whose whereabouts were obscure after the Guizhou Bloodshed Incident and then reappeared to become a rare great killer of the Jianghu.

Heavenly Killing Poison Flower.

The woman of fear who killed numerous people regardless of orthodox or unorthodox was Dang Jin’s younger sister.

And that woman who drove the Jianghu into fear is right now…….

“I said say Aaah~? If you don't, I will sulk.”

“Vice Sect Leader. Do something……. Uh? Young Mistress Baek came.”

Yes, I came.

One step late, but I came.

“Haaaa…….”

Baek Sua sighed deeply and thought.

‘Life is truly not easy.’

* * *

Four men and women gathered in one place.

Han Cheong-un, who rented one room of the inn for a meeting, cleared his throat and spoke.

“Keuhmm, first I will start with self-introductions. There is no need to introduce me and the Vice Sect Leader…….”

“I am Mount Hua’s first-class disciple Baek Sua.”

“I am Tang Clan’s daughter Dang Seoyeon. I am a sibling of the same mother with Older Brother Dang Jin here.”

Being a sibling of the same mother as Dang Jin means she is the precious, golden jade leaf of the Tang Clan Head.

It might be a position much more precious than just one of the many first-class disciples in Mount Hua.

“Then if counting by hierarchy, can we see it as about a third-class disciple of our Mount Hua?”

Baek Sua was also formidable.

Of course, Dang Seoyeon did not officially act in the Jianghu, and considering the characteristic of clans counting hierarchy by age, it is possible to see it that way, but…….

“Ah, I am young so I don't know such things well. Elders of the clan consider such things important, but I didn't understand well.”

I am young, and you are old.

“I see. You are young. An age where you should be protected by the clan in full swing.”

Get lost to your home. You brat.

“Still, I ate as much as I ate? If a woman of a private family, it is an age where one would have married long ago.”

No. I will marry Master.

“Hohoho…….”

“Hohoho…….”

Listening to the conversation of the two harboring poison and knives at the tip of their tongues, Dang Jin was already tired.

‘I expected it from when Seoyeon appeared suddenly, but this is much more tiring than I thought.’

Dang Jin didn't want to be involved even one bit in this love fight that even a dog wouldn't take.

If he watching from the side is like this, how about the party involved, Han Cheong-un?

Glancing at Han Cheong-un…….

‘Uh? This bastard is laughing?’

How is that possible?

The question was solved quickly.

“Hahaha. Seeing you guys get close quickly like this, it is truly good.”

Everyone has strengths and weaknesses.

And in Han Cheong-un’s case…….

‘Wow, he doesn't know? He doesn't know this?’

That is right.

He was a man with terribly no tact.
