Heavenly Inquisition Sword - Chapter 9

Luoyang eastern side language.

Waryongjang.

It was early evening the next day when the warriors of the White Tigers found out that Yeonjeokha had fled. Samurai, who had been carrying a food basket as usual, found a side door that had fallen off.

“what! Did the enemy break down the door and run away?”

Yeonmu-dok, the commander of Waryongjang, jumped up from his seat.

Baek Jeong-gi, the leader of the White Tigers, lowered his head.

“Looking at the side door that was fine until last night, it seems that they escaped in the meantime.”

“Are you saying it’s already been a day?”

“That’s right.”

“How could that little guy run away when the White Tigers are guarding it!”

“I have no face. It seems to have loosened up a bit after 10 years of not doing anything special.”

In the past ten years, they have not tried to escape even once. It was true that the wind had loosened the boundaries around the warehouse.

Yeonmu-dok, the commander-in-chief, was curious about the reaction of Baek Mi-joo, who controls Waryongjang.

“What did the old woman say?”

The corners of Baekho Daedaeju Baek Jeong-gi’s mouth went up slightly.

Unlike the Yeon clan, there was no one in Baekhodae who did not know the relationship between Hyeonmudok and Baekmiju.

“He told me to search up to three days away from Eonsa.”

“hmm! Three days…”

“Three days feels like too much. Since he is a child who is far from martial arts, he would not have been able to escape his speech.”

“That’s true, but…”

Haze poison has a somewhat grim face.

It was only natural that Waryongjang and his private parts would be exposed.

“What do you do if you don’t find it after looking for it?”

In fact, he, the commander-in-chief and uncle, did not mean to ask the commander of the Baekhodae. As much as that, it was Baek Mi-ju and Baek Ho-dae that controlled Waryongjang.

“You said you would do it as a runaway.”

The haze poison nodded as if he understood.

“Then I’m done.”

The butcher stood up, bowed silently, and left.

Haze poison, which had been standing in a daze for a while, collapsed into its seat.

“I heard Mubaek and Namgung’s family are coming… Didn’t they try their hand before that?”

Yeon Mu-baek, who went to the Namgung family ten years ago, is returning after a long training.

It doesn’t matter as long as the smoke is coming.

The problem is that Namgung’s children are coming with Yeonmubaek.

If the fact that they imprisoned the enemy for ten years is exposed, Waryongjang loses face. Due to Baek Mi-joo’s personality, it would have been difficult to tolerate that.

‘Did they take care of the load before they came?’

“Hmm!”

A voice flowed from the haze poison’s mouth.

If it was Baek Mi-joo he knew, she was a woman who would remain.

The Baekhodae were people who even pretended to die if it was Baekmiju’s order.

Breaking down the side door and saying that the enemy ran away isn’t even a thing!

When I thought that the enemy had died, I felt remorse in my conscience.

“ha! brother little brother I’m sorry. If I go to the underworld, I will kneel down and apologize.”

Haze poison apologized to the dead for a moment and shook off his thoughts about the enemy.

Because the dead are dead and the living must live. After Baek Mi-joo took full power, his position shrank even more, and he was no more than a butler.

Of course, Yeonmu-dok, the commander-in-chief, did not devote his energy and energy to finding his nephew who had run away from home. It’s because I think it’s an act to show off to others anyway.

Three days have passed since then.

The warriors of Baekhodae and Waryongjang, who had been wandering around the neighborhood, returned empty-handed.

Baek Mi-joo fussed about not being able to find that little child, but that was the end.

In fact, Baek Mi-joo thought that even if Yeon Jeok-ha was alive, her life would be over. There’s nothing a child who’s been locked up in a warehouse for ten years since he was six can do.

***

Seven days after Yeonjeokha ran away.

The gate of Waryongjang, which had been firmly closed, opened wide after a long time.

Baek Mi-joo was as busy as on the day when Namgung family welcomed guests ten years ago.

and around noon.

A carriage stopped in front of Waryongjang.

After getting off the carriage, the man and the woman did not go straight into Waryongjang, but looked around.

Cheongwoon Sword Namgungcheon stretched out and said.

“Oops! It’s a limb. My cuticles are all sore. What are you doing without the kite priest going in quickly and saying hello?”

The now grown-up Yeon Mu-baek muttered as he stroked his black beard.

“I thought the death penalty Waryongjang was very big, but I am surprised that it is small.”

“Stop freaking out. Now that the priest has returned, they will become the greatest warrior family in Luoyang.”

Then, the smoke bag laughed heartily.

“haha! Is it a cat? no. My goal is to become Henan’s best martial artist.”

“Being a loser in a province is not something you can do alone. Do you know that Moorim’s Sega is made so easily? Is not it? Should I open it?”

Namgungyeon did not respond to Namgungcheon’s words.

With sorrowful eyes, she just swept the low wall of Waryongjang.

The gatekeeper who spotted the man and the woman rushed inside.

After a while, the Yeon family poured out from the main house, starting with white rice wine.

Baek Mi-joo, who discovered the haze bag from a distance, opened her eyes wide.

Even at a glance, the youth performance bag felt the appearance of a young master.

Baek Mi-ju, who grew up in a samurai family, realized at once that her eldest son had returned as a master.

“Mubaek!”

At Baek Mi-joo’s call, Yeon Mu-baek hurriedly ran and bowed.

“My mother and daughter returned from studying for ten years.”

The face of Yeonmu-baek, who stood up, was full of pride.

It is only natural that he practiced martial arts for as much as ten years in the Namgung family, who are said to be the best among the Murim family.

“Good job my son. Aren’t those who came with us the precious guests of the Namgung Family?”

Baek Mi-joo’s eyes quickly swept Namgungcheon and Namgungyeon.

I knew right away that they were the son and daughter of Namgung Byeok, as the features of ten years ago remained on their faces.

Twenty-eight-year-old Namgung-jeon looked like an unbeatable master like Yeonmu-ryong in his youth. In fact, there was no one in Gangho who did not know the nickname of Cheongwoon Sword.

The beautiful lady standing next to him is 18-year-old Nam Gung-yeon. Her curvaceous figure makes even a woman like her look envious.

Namgungcheon bowed politely.

“It’s Auntie’s cloth.”

“…”

Namgoongyeon kept silent, but did not open his mouth.

Baek Mi-joo, who was admiring her flower-like beauty, belatedly recalled Namgoong-yeon’s eccentric personality and smiled. It was like that ten years ago, and nothing seems to have changed.

Yeon Seung-baek and Speaker Joo, who were standing behind Baek Mi-joo, stepped forward.

“older brother.”

“Brother.”

Hyeonmubaek laughed and nodded his head.

“Yeah, it’s been a while. I’m glad everyone looks healthy. Seungbaek, have you made any progress with the Nine Heavenly Sword?”

“All right. How is your brother?”

“With the help of my uncle, I was able to achieve my physical education. My uncle said he would reach 10 stars within the next 10 years… but I don’t know what that will be like.”

Yeon Seung-baek’s mouth dropped open at the word “yook-seong” already.

“Yuk Sung? omg!”

I heard that Yeon Mu-ryong, my father, was in the old castle when he went to Moorim. Yeonmubaek is 24 years old, so it can be said that it is a similar achievement to his father who was a technician. The revival of Waryongjang, which her mother longed for, is also coming soon.

Baek Mi-joo, who was watching the conversation between the brothers with a proud face, made a fuss.

“Look at my mind. Come on, let’s go inside. Your nieces and nephews should go inside too.”

Baek Mi-joo was overwhelmed by the name of the Namgung family and treated her nieces and nephews as if they were her master.

Namgungcheon looked at Namgungyeon with an awkward face.

Surprisingly, Namgungyeon’s expression did not change as if it were natural.

‘What’s wrong with a kid who doesn’t like to bow down to himself?’

Namgungcheon, who had been tilting his head, was about to move forward.

Namgungyeon grabbed Namgungcheon by the collar.

Namgungcheon flinched and looked back at Namgungyeon.

Namgungyeon’s eyes looked at Yeonmubaek Yeon Seungbaek and Yeonseungbaek Seonju in turn, then turned back to Namgungcheon.

It was only then that Namgungcheon knew his brother’s will.

“Can’t you see my aunt’s youngest brother?”

Namgungcheon could not remember the name of the fourth.

A sigh escaped from Baek Mi-joo’s mouth.

“ha! I ran away from home a few days ago. What is it? I wonder if I was motivated by the fact that my eldest brother was coming because of his success….

“Are you going to leave?”

Namgungcheon didn’t think it was strange.

It’s because there is an experience of running away from home even if you are yourself right now.

But at that moment, a chill came and I heard it.

I was surprised to see that Namgoong-yeon was spewing out murderous spirits from all over her body!

Namgungcheon hurriedly comforted his brother’s shoulder.

“haha! Yuna. don’t be too surprised Didn’t I also run away from home?”

“joy!”

At Namgungyeon’s cynicism, Yeonmubaek shook his shoulders this time.

“What’s wrong with you and your sister?”

Right now, the haze bag felt like its heart sank.

Namgoong-yeon, the sister-in-law, is four years younger than herself, but in terms of martial arts, she is as different as heaven and earth. He is no match for her.

Only Namgung, the death penalty, can handle her.

However, Namgungcheon is a person who would even pretend to die if her younger sister said so. In the end, it means that if Namgung-yeon gets angry here, no one can stop him.

‘Why is the sister-in-law doing that? He’s a person who goes through years when something goes wrong…’

To be honest, it was Namgung-yeon who was having a hard time with Yeon Moo-baek because of the difference between Namgung Wall.

In Namjikryeseong, her nickname is Hwayongdoksim. It is a nickname given because it is said to read people’s minds with a face as beautiful as a flower.

Some scoff at his reticence, saying, ‘Like a flower, he is silent’, but he nods his head at the reading of ‘reading people’s minds’.

However, Namgungyeon did not even pay attention to Yeonmubaek.

Meanwhile, Baek Mi-joo had no choice but to stop at Namgoong-yeon’s sudden cynicism.

‘Why is that half-penny?’

Come to think of it, even at a young age ten years ago, I think I was as perverse as I am now.

Baek Mi-joo asked with a smile on her face.

“Is there anything you don’t like, Yeon-nephew? Please tell me if there is.”

Namgungcheon replaced Namgungyeon.

“Haha, it seems like he was surprised to hear that the youngest had run away. Don’t mind too much. Our kite is like this at home sometimes.”

But his excuses didn’t help much.

‘Fast. A worthless year. How insignificant our Waryongjang looked, would he do the same as he used to do at home!’

Baek Mi-joo tried to speak calmly while grinding her teeth inwardly.

“It can be. I was also surprised that the enemy ran away. I don’t know what the kids of that age are thinking… Of course, I’m not my real mother, so there are some things I’m lacking in.”

Baek Mi-joo, who had been watching for a while, continued with a sad face.

“After that, for several days, I released people and searched the Eonsa area like teeth…”

Baek Mi-joo didn’t even finish her words.

Suddenly, Namgung-yeon brushed Baek Mi-joo and went inside the gate.

Embarrassed, Namgungcheon hurriedly followed his younger brother.

Belatedly, Baek Mi-joo and the Yeon family rushed into the house.

Baek Mi-joo glared at the back of Namgung-yeon’s head with ferocious eyes. It was like that ten years ago, and even now, that child still seems to be hostile towards him.

Maybe it’s not compatible like this!

Let alone accepting her as a daughter-in-law, it seems difficult to get along with her.
