Heavenly Inquisition Sword - Chapter 458

Episode 458. Don’t argue with my methods.

dawn the next day.

Baek Seon-hwa glanced behind her on the way to Sook-su’s carriage for breakfast.

A small carriage was standing on top of a hill just within sight of it.

It is the kite’s carriage.

‘A persistent person.’

At the moment, the emotions that are difficult to describe were firmly united.

I know I need to be patient, but that doesn’t make it any less uncomfortable.

I feel like the eyes of the people I run into today are even more digging into my heart.

Who is worse in their eyes?

Everyone was pretending not to see it, but deep inside they seemed to sympathize with the senior.

Whatever the circumstances, that’s why I was kicked out unilaterally.

It is natural to stand on the side of the weak, so you might criticize yourself for being a scary woman.

When I thought about it, my appetite ran away.

Baek Seon-hwa tried to turn around, but continued to walk as if being pushed by the gazes around her.

There were not a few escorts stationed around Kwak Hyo Suk-soo’s carriage.

As soon as they saw Baek Seon-hwa, they got up from their seats.

A few people even moved their seats with their bowls.

Baek Seon-hwa greeted the escorts first, making eye contact with them.

“Good morning. Is it jojogye (a type of steamed chicken) for breakfast this morning? Does it smell good?”

However, the reaction of the escorts is very strange.

It’s an atmosphere where everyone smiles clumsily and avoids their eyes.

Moon Yeop-seong came into Baek Seon-hwa’s eyes as she tilted her head.

But he’s wearing a hood on his head that doesn’t suit him?

Besides, there was a red blister on one cheek, as if it had been burned.

“Did you burn the escort door?”

“Ah yes. It happened.”

“Oh, be careful. You burned your face.”

She gave words of consolation that were not comforting in her own way, and walked over to Kwak Hyo.

I don’t have much appetite, but I want to eat a little for the ascendant.

At that time, Baek San-wu, the Sangwol sword from Chungyang Daeju, approached and said.

“Let’s talk for a minute.”

“yes? yes.”

Baek Seon-hwa followed Baek San-wu, wanting to talk about something urgent, even before the ceremony.

“What is it? uh? But what’s wrong with your uncle’s face? It looks like the door guard also suffered burns.”

Come to think of it, Baek San-wu was also wearing a hood on his head.

As Baek Seon-hwa stared at him, Baek San-wu sighed and went to the main topic.

“I need to go to your practitioner and apologize.”

“yes? What does that mean? Why am I? What did I do wrong?”

Then Baek San-wu said with a complicated face.

“First of all, apologize for kicking him out.”

“He first treated me as a strange person in front of the escorts…”

“I heard. But isn’t he making up sounds that don’t exist? I know you’ve tried, but if you weren’t the daughter of the ark, would you have been appointed secretary? Are you going to deny that you’ve been given special treatment?”

“How could my uncle say such a thing…”

“Look. Aren’t you still blaming me, the owner of Chungyang University? You do not feel special because your privilege is routine, but in the eyes of others, you do not. But you kicked out the senior who pointed that out. Do you still not see your fault?”

“I know what you mean. But those are the things I deserve to enjoy. It’s not like people treat me like an ordinary clerk because I refuse.”

“I am not asking you to apologize for the life you enjoyed. It means denying your special life and apologizing for kicking out the senior who pointed it out.”

“Why should I? As my uncle said, I am the eldest daughter of the ark. He is also the secretary of the upper chamber. I have the right to kick out seniors. That’s why my uncle didn’t object. Why are you doing that all of a sudden?”

Baek San-wu, who had been crying for a moment, gave a groan.

“Don’t use the word “right” like that! You have nothing to say even if he crushes us with force, since you have beaten him down with the power of a rat’s tail!”

“Did you press it with force?”

Sanwu Baek untied the hood on his head, revealing the mangled top of his head.

“Why did you become like that?”

“ha! I sent someone to deal with the kite last night, but they failed. Even I came forward, but I couldn’t even get a glimpse of him. He was a master of Murim. I didn’t have the confidence to handle him even at Jungyang University, so I ended up kneeling.”

“You say that the practitioner is a master of the Moorim?”

“Do you remember what Hong Jeong-ro and Go Ju-il told you?”

“yes.”

“It must have been about seniors. Since they only followed you, they must have tried to use their hands because they couldn’t see it. Now I think I know why they were silent.”

“Did the practitioner want an apology from me?”

“okay. I tried to cover it up with money somehow, but he wanted money and your apology.”

“Then I must apologize. I will.”

Baek Seon-hwa was no longer stubborn.

If it’s something that can’t be avoided anyway, it’s nice to see it being proactive.

After talking with Baek San-wu, Seon-hwa Baek headed straight to the carriage of the performer.

I felt like I was going to tear my stomach, but I held it in.

On the other hand, ‘Did you commit to the upper world to see this kind of situation?’ I felt ashamed of doing so, but I intend to endure the fact that business has to be done without the gallbladder.

Coincidentally, Gongja Yeon was eating breakfast in front of a campfire.

The food in front of him became familiar and when he looked again, it was ‘Jojogye’ made by Gwak Hyo-sook.

It means that the upper level is already treating him as an honored guest.

Baek Seon-hwa, who reached Yeonjeok-ha, opened her mouth with a calm expression.

“Yeong Confucius. I heard the words of the Daeju of Chungyang University. Please forgive me if you feel offended by my words and actions. It was because there were still many shortcomings.”

Yeonjeokha, who had been immersed in delicious food for a long time, raised his head.

It seems that he came because he wanted an apology.

But he couldn’t really remember why he was mad at her.

‘Ah!’ and exclamation flowed out.

‘that’s right. No matter what I said, they took it all as bluff.’

So I tried to say, ‘I have my own reasons just as you are treated as the daughter of the ark.’

However, as soon as I mentioned ‘Paek Sun-hwa’s special treatment’, I was kicked out.

“Why are you like that?”

“It reminds me of something I forgot.”

Baek Seon-hwa didn’t bother to ask.

She intended to step down quietly if the elder accepted the apology.

“Does Baek Soja know why I followed the top?”

“I heard that it was because the destination was the same.”

“It’s not necessarily like that. There was something I wanted to say to the bag manager and the escorts.”

“What is it?”

“Do you remember what I said the day I was kicked out? You said that Baek So-jeo is the daughter of the ark, so the escorts notice her.”

“…yes. I will apologize again for that.”

“As for why, I wanted to say, ‘I have my own reasons, just like Baek So-jeo is treated specially.’”

“Any reason?”

Baek Seon-hwa, who completely forgot what happened with Gong Gong that day, couldn’t understand right away.

“The escorts laughed at me for a while when I said it was okay for the inn to fail. You must have a lot of money.”

“ah! yes.”

“I have a story that I can talk about like Baek So-jeo. What does that mean?”

“…”

Only then did Baek Seon-hwa understand his words and a bitter smile appeared on her face.

I was shocked that he did something just to explain the reason why he heard such a mana.

“Why is your expression like that? Is this the face you chewed on shit?”

“Why didn’t you just come and talk to me? If it was, no one would have been hurt.”

Baek Seon-hwa felt bad because it was her fault that her uncle was burned.

Yeonjeokha laughed.

“Bag sozer. Do you know what your uncle said when he threatened me?”

“…”

“They said that the strong have no shame. That’s your way of life. So you kicked me out proudly and your uncle tried to kill me. why? Originally, it is a world where strong people can do whatever they want. I am like that too. So don’t argue with my method. Before burning all three layers of hair.”

“…please forgive me.”

Baek Seon-hwa closed her eyes tightly and bowed her head.

I forgot that now I have to act like I’m going to have my liver and gallbladder drained.

After a while, Baekseonhwa returned.

Yeon Jeok-ha, who was watching her walking away, suddenly turned his gaze to Yang-il.

“how is it?”

“yes? What?”

“If I had stepped on it right away, I wouldn’t have gotten the money. I got an apology and money because I put up with it moderately. This is what I call killing two birds with one stone.”

“Oh, I see, it really is. I admired Confucius’ wisdom.”

Yang-Il’s mouth dropped open as he suddenly had a thousand nyang of Eun-ja.

To think that seniors persevered in order to earn money is amazing.

‘As expected, Green Forest’s method of Tae Sang-ho is different no matter what.’

around noon.

A carriage carrying the flag of Baekhwa Sangbang and merchant porters escorts appeared under Bigasan.

Bisan is where the Murim family, the Namgung family, are located.

The upper class did not dare to go further at the entrance of the alley and settled down in a wide empty lot.

Baek Il-woong, the acting chief, headed for the Namgung family, taking only Baek San-wu, the Sangwol sword of Jungyangdaeju, and Baek Seon-hwa, the clerk.

Seeing Namgung family in the distance, Baek Il-woong glanced at Baek Seon-hwa.

“There will be no problem with the present, right?”

“yes.”

Along with the answer, Baek Seon-hwa stroked the wooden box containing the old books that she was holding in her chest.

“We are the ones who couldn’t keep our promise, so we have to bow our heads unconditionally. Even if you see something strange in the world, don’t be ignorant or curious.”

“yes.”

Baek San-wu and Baek Seon-hwa answered in unison.

In fact, the two of them were so tense that Baek Il-woong didn’t have to pay attention.

“If Yeongongjae is a Seungnyang, then Namgungse is a tiger. You shouldn’t do anything to get caught even as much as eye mucus.”

Baek San-wu and Baek Seon-hwa nodded their heads at Baek Il-woong’s new request.

As the three approached, the warrior guarding the gate of the Namgung family asked,

“Who are you from?”

Baek Il-woong, overwhelmed by the spirit of the warrior, answered politely.

“My name is Baek Il-woong, acting manager of Baekhwa Sangbang in Hanam. I came because I ordered Okju (玉雕) and Tang Samchae (唐三彩) from Namgung Family a month ago.”

“What about Okju and Dangsamchae, only three people?”

Baek Il-woong told the warrior who was inquiring about what had happened.

“…The wagon carrying jade wine and tangsamchae was burnt. So I told you the situation…”

Il-Woong Baek was in the midst of explaining, when he heard the sound of wheels rattling from behind.

Baek Il-woong’s eyes widened as he looked back.

The trainee’s wagon, clinging to the upper tail, was slowly approaching.

‘Why is the practitioner here?’

I know what kind of place the Namgung family is, but I don’t know what they are thinking.

Another warrior in front of the gate raised his hand and stopped the carriage and shouted.

“Who are you from?”

Yang-il, who had been looking at it hesitantly, mumbled with a confident face.

“They say that if you are a veteran of the Gaebang Namyeon Inn, you’ll know…”

At that moment, the warriors guarding the gate were scattered in all directions like a swarm of locusts.

Some opened the gate wide, others ran inside.

After that, the warriors who stood like iron towers shouted loudly while shouting at the wagon.

“Yeong Confucius! welcome!”
