Heavenly Inquisition Sword - Chapter 10

10 times. Why did you do that?

Baek Mi-joo, frowning, approached her eldest son Yeon Mu-baek and whispered.

“Is Yeon’s nephew like that?”

Hyeonmubaek nodded.

Baek Mi-joo’s face twisted at her son’s reaction.

“why?”

“I don’t know.”

Baek Mi-joo felt like her stomach was upset at Yeon Mu-baek’s words, but she had to endure it.

On the other hand, Namgung-yeon entered the courtyard without hesitation as if he were the owner of the house.

Relying on her memories of the past, she stood tall in front of the small room used by Yeon Jeok-ha.

Then I turned around and shot Baek Mi-joo.

Baek Mi-joo was stabbed inwardly, but she forcibly smiled.

“is it so. That’s the enemy’s room.”

It is true that this room was used ten years ago.

Of course, no one has ever used it since. That room had always been empty since Yeon Jeok-ha was six years old.

She locked him up in a storage room, but didn’t use his room for anything else.

Namgungyeon took off her shoes on a stone and entered Yeonjeokha’s room.

Namgungcheon quickly explained to his aunt.

“Looks like they are trying to find out where the youngest has gone. If Yuna is interested, there is nothing she can’t solve. Soon you will find the youngest.”

“…”

Baek Mi-joo snorted inwardly.

‘joy! Would you be able to find out where he went if you searched the room that had been vacated for ten years? That bitch could become a brave shaman?’

Maybe it’s been a while?

Namgoongyeon came out with a grave face.

She put the shoes on the stone again.

Then, this time, Baek Mi-joo, who was just watching, stepped out.

“Nephew, if you know where our enemy has gone, please tell me. In the meantime, I…”

Before Baek Mi-joo could finish her words, Namgoong-yeon passed her by.

Baek Mi-joo’s face distorted at Nam Goong-yeon’s attitude as if she were not there. There is a limit to ignoring people, but Namgung-yeon goes beyond that.

It is the moment when Mi-joo Baek, who is crying, is about to say something.

Namgungyeon ran across the yard like the wind and went out of the gate.

Baek Mi-joo, who was standing there with a blank face, said Namgung-chun as he spoke.

“It seems that something urgent has happened to Yuna. I’ll leave too. Auntie, I wish you all the best. Priest, I will go first.”

At the sudden greeting, Baek Mi-joo lost her words and blinked her eyes.

It’s simple as soon as the precious guests who have been in ten years arrive.

As soon as the younger brother left, the firstborn hurriedly greeted him with a finishing touch.

In her common sense, this could not happen.

What kind of bizarre thing is this when Namgung-cheon is not satisfied even if he scolds his younger brother and makes him kneel down?

However, instead of stopping him, Hyeonmubaek bowed his back as if it were natural.

“I will not send you away from the death penalty. Take a look and go back. There will be a day when I will see you again in Gangho. Please help me then.”

“Are we strangers? I have a feeling that I ate one pot rice for ten years. If you need help, send a message to Namgung Sega at any time. Don’t rush and run away.”

At least Baek Mi-joo liked the farewell message between her eldest sons, Yeon Moo-baek and Namgung-cheon.

This is normal.

It is not polite to come to greet someone as a representative of the family after 10 years, and then just look into the enemy’s room and leave.

When Namgungcheon moved, the Yeon clan rushed back to the gate.

However, Baek Mi-joo, whose pride was greatly hurt, sat on the floor and did not move.

Moo-baek Yeon, the eldest son, returned after seeing off.

“Mubaek, did they go?”

“yes. I came in after seeing the wagon going through the alley entrance.”

Baek Mi-joo asked in a sharp tone.

“Is that a normal year?”

At the words, ‘The carriage passed through the entrance of the alley’, curses came out right away.

A bittersweet smile appeared on the sage’s face.

“I’m glad you stopped, mother. Once the sister-in-law touches it, there is nothing that cannot be solved.”

“Is it such a great year? A half-penny who can’t even speak?”

“It’s not that I’m not good at it, it’s that I’m not good at it. And in Namjikryeseong, the priest’s nickname is Hwa-yong-dok-sim. It was nicknamed because it reads people’s minds.”

“joy! gibberish. You can know ten ways under water, but you don’t know one way inside people.”

“Not necessarily. I witnessed her read people several times in Namgung Family. There is even a saying, ‘even if you can fool the ghost, you cannot fool the reading mind.’”

“It must be a scheming trick.”

Baek Mi-joo thought that her son had also been tricked.

“I was surprised when the sister-in-law sneered earlier. Like when the sister-in-law cuts people, she blows away her life. Mother, is it true that the youngest ran away from home?”

“why? Do you think I would have killed that lowly bastard?”

“If that was the case, the sister-in-law could not have just left. What the hell happened to the youngest?”

Still, thanks to having been educated by a prestigious family for ten years, Mubaek Yeon was always called the youngest.

Baek Mi-joo was dissatisfied with it, but he didn’t blame it because the child he saw after 10 years was a grown-up.

“You said you ran away.”

“really?”

Yeonmubaek asked his younger siblings.

“You answer me. Is it true that the enemy ran away from home?”

Yeon Seung-baek and Yeon Seon-ju secretly pricked their conscience when the eldest brother asked them with a straight face. Still, it was true that Yeon Jeok-ha had run away, so he was proud of himself.

Seungbaek Yeon nodded.

“Really. He said he ran away and the family was turned upside down.”

Only then did Yeonmubaek let out a long sigh of relief.

“ha! I’m glad if that’s the case. No one can fool the sister-in-law’s eyes. I don’t know, but she’s a really scary person. Is that the enemy’s room over there?”

“Right brother. But nothing will happen.”

“why?”

The ignorant speaker revealed the secret of Baek Mi-joo.

“The enemy didn’t live there. He’s been living in a warehouse since his father died.”

“what?”

Surprised, Hyeonmubaek ran into the room under the Yeonjeok without taking off his shoes.

A small blanket and a desk were all.

At least it was clean, as if it had been cleaned, but there was no sign of human habitation.

I can see it even in my ordinary eyes, but there is no way that the sister-in-law, who is called Hwa-yong reading-sim, doesn’t know.

Haze Bag ran outside and asked again.

“Where is the warehouse? Could it be that warehouse behind the house?”

In the meantime, the speaker replied by kneading her arms as if she had been pinched by Baek Mi-joo.

“…huh.”

At that moment, the new type of smoke bag went over the fence like the wind.

No matter how urgent it was, he ran to the light technique.

The Yeon clan, including Baek Mi-joo, hurriedly rushed to the warehouse to find out what was going on.

Yeonmubaek looked around with a very nervous face.

In front of the wide-open warehouse door, I saw a chain that had snapped like a taffy.

It seems that someone has already gone.

Looking at the cut section, it can’t be explained unless it’s the peak sword skill.

It is the skill of Bonamana Namgungcheon.

Dry saliva gulp down the throat.

Did you lock the cargo in the warehouse?

Kangho’s vicious madou could understand. But not when he was only six years old. Being rudely bullied as a child and being raised like a dog are two different things.

‘omg! no way?’

He could have killed a six-year-old in an atmosphere confined to a warehouse for ten years.

If so, Waryongjang would not be able to fly himself and his wings would be broken.

‘Mother please…’

I hope nothing like that will ever happen.

Baek Mi-joo, who ran hastily, spoke like an excuse.

“Really. It’s true that I imprisoned him, but I didn’t kill him. That lowly bastard ran away on his own.”

The smoke bag calmed his throbbing chest and went inside.

The little shed was full of the smell of filth and mold.

I learned a lot about Kang Ho-haeng while studying at the Namgung family for ten years.

Where a person dies, there are ghosts, traces of blood, and the smell of death.

Fortunately, there was only a musty smell in the warehouse, but I didn’t feel anything like that.

At least no one died here.

‘iced coffee! thank god.’

Hyeonmubaek carefully inspected the inside of the warehouse.

Traces of human life were visible everywhere.

A bed that must have slept curled up with the worn-out children’s clothes.

After leaving the warehouse, Hyeonmubaek and Baek Mi-joo met their eyes.

“…why did you do that?”

“Because I don’t want to see anything related to her. I didn’t want to live under the same roof with that lowly guy.”

“Then why don’t you let me out of the house.”

“I wanted to get revenge on the girl who ruined my life and Waryongjang.”

Hyeonmubaek shook his head excitedly.

The mother is out of her mind only when it comes to the matter of the little mother and the enemy.

“The brother-in-law and sister-in-law went to see this place. What would the Namgung family think of us?”

In fact, Baek Mi-joo and Namgung’s family were unplanned.

How could that pretty and stupid girl remember Jeokha? On the one hand, if you think about it, it might be a good thing. Things would have been worse if we had seen him locked in a warehouse.

“ha! Still, I won’t be bragging about it here and there. Even if you curse at me for being a bitch… Because you are a disciple of that house. Because it depends on their face.”

Hyeonmubaek looked at the distant mountains with blank eyes.

That’s right.

Since he is also a disciple of the Sword King Namgung Byeok, he won’t spread rumors. However, from now on, she and Waryongjang have no choice but to live while watching the Namgung family notice.

There is a difference between obeying voluntarily and obeying compulsively. Mubaek Yeon was saddened by the fact that his relationship with his respected teacher was in ruins.

***

Inside the wagon, Namgungcheon glanced at his younger brother.

When I was walking around Waryongjang, I fluttered my life, but now I am rather calm.

He has such a heavy heart.

Unlike in the past, when you think of the name of Waryongjang, the small warehouse catches your eye.

“Are you okay?”

Namgoongyeon looked out the window and nodded.

It’s really nice to see that there’s not a single shadow on her pretty face.

“Do you know where the enemy has gone?”

At that part, Namgungyeon shook his head.

Namgungcheon did not ask any more.

No matter how well your younger brother reads people’s minds, he’s not a ghost. He’s smart, so he can only guess at the situation by looking at his expression and surrounding objects.

“Wherever I go, I will live well… I lived in that hellish place, so I will live well.”

Namgungyeon closed her eyes at the sunlight shining through the window.

The day ten years ago when I met Yeon Jeok-ha came to mind as vividly as if it were yesterday.

“Mom…”

“No,” he shook his head.

Then, Yeon Jeok-ha lowered his head with a face that looked like he was going to cry.

I hugged him quietly.

Soon, hot tears dripped down his forearms.

He wiped away his tears with the hem of his clothes.

Did you think we were friends?

The catcher Yeon Jeok-ha held his hand and walked bravely.

Reaching the dog hole, he stuck his head in without hesitation.

His two little feet wriggled away.

He himself crawled into the dog hole before his feet disappeared.

Like back then, he went out into the world through a dog hole. But this time it didn’t come back. He must have left to live as a human.

Namgoongyeon silently cheered inwardly.
