Moon-Shadow Sword Emperor - Chapter 458
Chapter 458
Seomun Seju looked at me with a puzzled expression as I stood up from my seat without any regrets.
Dokgo-seong put down his teacup as if he had been waiting and came to stand next to me.
“Thank you for your hospitality.”
“Now wait a minute.”
Seomun Seju extends his hand as if to stop him.
At the same time, the warriors standing behind radiated a heavy force.
It was as if they were protesting what kind of rudeness this was.
‘You have to watch your opponent and attack him.’
I laughed as if it was ridiculous and wrapped Samo and Dokgo-seong with the curtain of the ceremonial bandage.
My wife, who did not understand the situation, blinked and turned to look at me.
“Why are you doing this all of a sudden?”
“It’s just a whim.”
“That’s a lot of fun.”
“Do you think it’s a joke?”
As I answered with a smile on my face, a chill fell on Seomun Segaju’s face as well.
The standoff did not last long.
In the end, it was Seomun Sega who made the first move.
“What do you want from me?”
“Nothing in particular.”
“what?”
“If I had wanted something, would I have changed my attitude like this?”
Dok-go-seong leaves the parlor with his mother.
I glanced at Seomun Sega once and walked after him.
‘If you want to negotiate with me, you’ll have to give up your reputation first. ‘Young man.’
Now, there were only two options for Seomun-sae to choose from.
You can either blankly watch me leave Seomun Street or hang around holding on to your pants.
Either way, it wasn’t bad for me.
* * *
“……yes?”
Lee Soo-yeon, a member of the Cheonan Prison Enforcement Team, opened her eyes wide and asked.
Cheon Ga-ryeong and Yeo So-ok, who were sitting on either side of her and smoothing her hair, also looked surprised.
I glanced at the combs, hair ties, and accessories scattered everywhere and laughed inwardly.
‘You’re really playing with dolls.’
It’s nice that the hair was braided with care, but the shape on the left and right sides was different, so it felt more comical than pretty.
I said, pointing at Dok-go-seong with a bitter look.
“Pack your bags. “We have to leave right away.”
“The treatment may not have been completed yet, so is there something wrong?”
“yes. “I didn’t really like Seomun Se-ju’s words and actions, so I decided to just throw it all away.”
“Hmm. At times like these, the manager also has a really good personality…”
“Warrior Ye, does it seem like there’s a problem with my personality? “Please speak without hesitation.”
“What a problem. “I was going to say hot.”
As he stared with narrowed eyes, Yeo So-ok slightly averted his gaze.
After notifying the members of the changed schedule.
I went to my wife’s room with Dok Go-seong and knocked on the door with the back of my hand.
“This is Yeon So-un. “Can I come in?”
After asking for permission and opening the door, the wife sitting at the table motioned for me to take a seat.
I felt somewhat sorry.
You must have been looking forward to the day when you would be reunited with your family.
“sorry. “He did things on his own without asking his wife’s opinion.”
“It’s okay, you don’t have to worry.”
Contrary to what he said, his complexion was not that good.
Even without asking, I could guess how disappointed she was.
“I knew my father was like that, but…”
The wife trailed off and took a deep breath.
I was inwardly amazed as I saw her regaining her original soft and gentle mood in an instant.
Even the greatest Taoist monk would not be able to reach her level of self-discipline.
“If you want me to rescind my decision, please tell me.”
“How could you do that when I know you did it for me?”
“…….”
That husband and that wife.
My wife knew me very well.
The reason why I maintained a hard-line attitude even at the risk of causing discord with the Seomun family was simple.
Judging by Seo Mun-jung’s attitude, I judged that it would be difficult for the relationship between him and his wife to improve.
‘Why did I come all this way?’
There were only two interests of Seomun Segaju.
Saving the life of a sick son.
And to gain the upper hand in my relationship.
If I had at least exchanged a formal greeting with Dokgo-seong, I might have thought differently.
Anyway, isn’t it too much to treat a grandson who inherited one’s blood as someone who doesn’t exist?
I could tell just by looking at the tone of voice and gaze.
The Seomun family is displeased with Dok Go-seong’s existence.
I understand how you feel, but at least you shouldn’t have expressed your vote outwardly.
‘Tsk.’
I’ll say it again, it didn’t matter to me what the next head of the Seomun family would be.
I was able to be capricious because I had nothing to regret.
‘It’s unfortunate for the Seomun family.’
As a blind monk, I did not come here to handle official matters.
If he had something to gain from the Seomun family, he would have tolerated some discomfort.
Because I’m used to dealing with people with an authoritarian personality.
‘It’s a good thing Master isn’t here.’
I deliberately changed the subject to cheer my wife up.
I hope that the story about my trip to Haenam Island will bloom for a while.
“Is there a problem?”
I turned my head to the sign of popularity outside the door and asked in a deliberately cold voice.
Immediately, a heavy bass sound penetrated my ears.
“The head of the family told me to bring the manager.”
“I have no intention of seeing the matriarch.”
“Please reconsider.”
“What if we don’t reconsider? Are you going to drag me away by force?”
I could tell just by the momentum that was implicitly flowing.
That it was one of the two bodyguards that stood behind the Seomun Sega State.
That’s what I thought when I first saw him, but for a mere escort, he was an incredibly talented person.
In terms of status alone, he was comparable to Namgung-geum, the leader of the execution team.
At that level, he would have achieved a fairly high status even if he were to become a member of the Geumuiwi.
Seeing someone like that assisting the head of the family, it seemed like the Seomun family was a prestigious family.
“I don’t want to be rude to the guests.”
“That sounds interesting.”
I walked towards the door with a cold smile on my face.
Even if you aren’t interested in Moorim’s work, you’ve probably heard of my reputation.
I couldn’t figure out what kind of confidence they had to provoke me like this.
Sweet.
As I opened the door, the sight of a middle-aged man looking at me with a calm expression came into view.
“If you are going to use coercion, do it. “If I can.”
“It would be best not to look down on the Seomun family too much.”
“I never looked down on you.”
“…….”
I wanted to ask him if he had looked at me funny first, but I decided not to.
Because it is obvious that they will shamelessly show their flippers and ask when they did that.
“The head of the family told me to spread this message. “I don’t think anything will make you feel uncomfortable anymore.”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about. “I was the one who was capricious, so why is the head of the family apologizing?”
As he answered in an exaggerated tone, tendons appeared on the man’s forehead.
Strictly speaking, Seomun Sega did not apologize to me.
He just took the appearance of giving in a step.
‘I guess they thought that if they did this, I would show a softened attitude and pretend I couldn’t win.’
I wanted to try it out.
How long can he keep his neck stiff when the life of his successor is at stake?
“Please go and tell the head of the family. “We’ll be leaving exactly after this.”
“……”
The man’s shoulders trembled slightly.
If I provoked it a little more, it looked like it would yell and attack me.
“How long are you going to stand there like that?”
“Let’s see, let’s see, your self-indulgence is sky-high!”
“What did you say just now?”
“Even if you’re rude, you should be rude in moderation! This is why you should not have any dealings with martial people or the like…!”
Quang!
The man’s new model flew through the wall.
I muttered, shaking my hands with an annoyed expression.
“Did that thing spin?”
You have to distinguish between what you can say and what you can’t say.
It was not something you would say in front of your wife, who had left the family as if she had been kicked out because she had treated a martial artist as her friend.
I jumped down through the open wall and stared at the man who was wiping his nosebleeds with his sleeve.
“What are you doing?”
“…….”
“How dare you think that you can make a fuss within Seomunse and get away with it!”
The warriors protecting the family flocked in, attracted by the noise.
After leisurely looking around with my back, I shrugged my shoulders and answered.
“It’s a threat that doesn’t seem all that scary.”
visor!
The man pulled a sword from his waist.
The gathered warriors grabbed the spears on their backs and aimed them at me.
I curled up the corners of my lips and took a step toward them.
‘If you come out like this, it’s good for me.’
I didn’t say anything, but in fact, my impression of the Seomun family was not good from the beginning.
Isn’t this a family that ignored and rejected their teacher just because they were martial arts people?
From the perspective of a disciple, it was natural that I couldn’t look at it in a good light.
Absolutely! Quick!
Thunder spheres formed in the air let out an ominous noise.
The warriors who formed the encirclement swallowed their saliva with tense faces.
“Hit!”
The shout of a man filled with courage rang out loudly.
Warriors flocking at once, armed with long spears.
I lightly waved my hand and knocked away the flying spear blade, then snapped my fingers and said.
“I will give you my life.”
Ku-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak!
The thunder spheres spread out in six directions exploded all at once.
The warriors caught up in the aftermath were thrown away like straw dolls.
Because the power was controlled, he would not have died, but the energy in his body would have been dissipated, making it difficult to move for a while.
“Hwaap!”
A middle-aged man who slashes his sword in a straight line with great enthusiasm.
Although the shape was still unstable, the strong energy that formed on the surface of the sword was clear.
A strong man with one foot in the world of peace.
However, it was not enough to alert me.
I raised my left hand above my head and lightly grasped the blade.
“omg!”
He pinned the man, who was losing his breath, to the ground with his sword.
The man’s new weapon, unable to let go of the sword in his hand, dug into the ground with a heavy impact sound.
* * *
“What on earth is this fuss about?”
Seo Mun-jung, who hurriedly ran out of Gajujeon, shouted with a puzzled expression.
He must have been filling out a document, and there was a brush full of ink in his hand.
A cloud of dust rose up along with the explosion.
Then, the soldiers’ screams pierced my ears.
The guard standing next to me clicked his tongue and muttered.
‘Looks like that idiot did something after all.’
When I told them to bring a guest, they started fighting and sat down.
I knew he was hot-tempered, but I never thought he would be so indiscernible.
“I think you’d better go quickly.”
“I plan to do that even if you don’t say it!”
Seo Mun-jung nervously threw away the brush in his hand and started running towards the guest accommodation.
The bodyguard sighed deeply and followed behind him.
