Chapter 187: An Unsatisfactory Act (2)

An Unsatisfactory Act (2)

We were about to board the carriages for our journey back to Shanxi.

I noticed a significant decrease in the bustling atmosphere than when I first came here after the tournament ended.

Which just showed how much interest the people had in the tournament.

Considering how the young prodigy tournament gained this much attraction, it made me wonder how wild the Heavenly Dragon tournament would be.

I definitely wont be attending that time.

Because I didnt really like crowded areas and atmospheres

Instead, I hoped to stay home, dedicating the day to training or something of the sort.

[People have always enjoyed watching others beat up each other ever since a long time ago.]

Said Elder Shin rather rudely, but it was true that people had always taken pleasure in witnessing others compete physically.

But I have no interest in that nonsense.

I had to get on the carriage already, but my head began to hurt when I saw two fuckers blocking the path.

Jeolyub, I wont be losing next time.

Ill be waiting.

Right, you should come to Hwangbo Clan sometime

It seemed like he heard that Gu Jeolyub was leaving because Hwangbo Cheolwi was saying his goodbyes to Gu Jeolyub.

Seeing them patting each other and shaking hands it really felt out of place.

Why are they acting like that?

Why were they friendly to each other?

It seems like some story unfolded between the two without me noticing.

But seriously, why were they friends now?

Didnt they used to hate each other?

Anticipating an endless conversation between the two if I just left them there like this,

I decided to intervene.

Why are two grown men hugging each other? Cant you just screw off already?

When I appeared while growling at them, the two separated from each other after being startled.

And during this, Hwangbo Cheolwi, unable to meet my gaze, stiffened.

Ahem.

Since he let out a fake cough to gauge the situation, I called him out.

You.

Yes? W-What, did I do something wrong?

Why are you scared?

Im not! What nonsense are you saying right now?

When I raised my hand after hearing him, Hwangbo Cheolwi flinched.

Yeah, Im sure you werent scared.

Did something happen to him after I hit him last time?

Why did this guy become a wimp?

Youre acting like I nearly killed you. Stop being scared already. Im not going to hit you.

Hey! The mighty Hwangbo never fears anything! I just let my guard down back th-

Do you want to have a real battle then?

I only said that as a joke.

But Hwangbo Cheolwis expression began to crumble right away.

Because his acts didnt fit his giant physique, I smirked without being able to hold back.

Just kidding.

I threw in a joke that Peng Woojin had once used.

But Hwangbo Cheolwi took it offensively, puffing and huffing in anger.

Though he couldnt actually yell at me like last time.

And speaking of Peng Woojin

Now thats a familiar line I hear!

Peng Woojin appeared for real.

Perhaps, you also waited for me? I think our minds are connected to each others.

When did you come, Young Lord Peng?

Peng Woojin casually draped his arm around my shoulder after appearing.

I then made a disgusted expression right away and escaped from Peng Woojins arm.

Meanwhile, Hwangbo Cheolwi, witnessing Peng Woojins sudden appearance, displayed an extremely shocked expression. Diiscover new stories at nove/lbin(.)c/om

I guessed even someone as arrogant and impudent as him recognized Peng Woojin.

Ignoring my reaction, Peng Woojin spoke to me with a bright smile.

Congratulations, Young Master Gu! Oh, maybe I should start calling you the True Dragon now? I knew that you would be able to succeed.

Peng Woojin completely disregarded Hwangbo Cheolwis presence, focusing solely on our conversation.

I prefer that you dont call me by that title.

Whats wrong? Isnt it cool? The Murim Alliance themselves approved of you as a real dragon!

Thats the embarrassing part, you moron.

Being the Heavenly Dragon, he might not realize how awkward the title sounded.

This Brother Peng watched all of little brothers fights without missing a second of it. And oh, how amazing it was

Why are you naturally calling me a brother? We are strangers to each other, Young Lord Peng.

Im disappointed about that as well Perhaps you want to take back my pretty little sister of mine? She already seems to have a hard future because of her harsh personality so if you take her back, then you would naturally become our fam-

You crazy bastard!

Ugh!

Before Peng Woojin could finish, someone appeared swiftly and sent him flying with a kick.

I didnt even have to think who it was that kicked Peng Woojin because it was obviously Peng Ah-Hee.

I shouldve known this was going to happen when I saw him run off first! How can you speak nonsense as soon as you arrive here?

Ah Ah-Hee, I think your brother got hit in a not-very-good spot!

Who cares if you got hit there! Not like youll ever have the chance to use it anyway!

Damn thats a bit harsh.

Peng Woojin finally managed to get up after falling down to the ground.

And judging by how he was still struggling, it really seemed like he got hit in a critical spot.

What a treatment to give to your older brother.

And you dont know the dogshit treatment that you gave to your little sister?

I was just trying to connect you with a great man! Whats the problem with that? A winner of a tournament is more than enough!

This guy really is crazy what do I do with him?

Whats the big deal about breaking off an engagement? Just redo the engag-

Brother, it wont be me kicking, but me crushing it with my feet next time instead.

She made even Peng Woojin shut his mouth. It made me realize that Peng Ah-Hee was a capable girl.

When Peng Woojin finally shut his mouth, Peng Ah-Hee let out a sigh and spoke to me.

Sorry, it seems like the crazy bastard of my clan caused trouble once again.

Uh, no problem

She already destroyed him enough, so I didnt have much to add.

Despite being the young lord of his clan, he was being called a crazy bastard by her.

It seemed like Peng Ah-Hee had lots of anger piled up inside her.

Youre going back now, right?

Yep. Arent you also going back?

When I asked, Peng Ah-Hee shook her head, glancing at that crazy Peng Woojin beside her.

Because this guy has lots of things to do in Hanam, I dont think I could return any time soon.

As she spoke, I recalled that Peng Woojin had come to Hanam for business matters.

I took that information as it was back then, but recent revelations about the possible involvement of the Murim Alliance with the Blood Demon and the mention of the Meteor group made me reconsider.

Brother, you should also start going. You said that you dont have too much time.

Peng Woojin nodded after hearing Peng Ah-Hee.

Oh, right. Ill be leaving first. Young Master Gu, have a safe trip on your way back.

Yes, you as well.

Youre not even going to stop me! How cold!

Peng Woojin slowly began to leave after my response.

More accurately, he seemed to be dragged away by Peng Ah-Hees hand rather than walking away on his own.

It felt like a storm had just passed by.

[Quite a special guy is living under Peng Clan.]

Elder Shin, who had been quiet throughout, finally spoke up.

I found myself in agreement with his assessment.

We should start going too, and could you leave already?

Hwangbo Cheolwi and Gu Jeolyub were both looking at Peng Woojin with fascination.

What are you looking at?

Young Master, its that Peng Woojin. Arent you the weird one for speaking to him like that?

The ex-Heavenly Dragon his presence itself feels overpowering.

I dismissed their comments with a tsk.

It seemed like they still thought of the title, Heavenly Dragon, as some mighty thing.

Or maybe I was just dull.

Stop speaking nonsense, and get on already.

I kicked Gu Jeolyub, who was standing dumbfoundedly, and got on the carriage.

Gu Jeolyubs screams from the back could be heard, but I ignored it for now since I was tired.

That settled, but

Where do you think youre going?

Pardon?

I interrupted Gu Jeolyub, who was attempting to board a carriage.

When I called him, Gu Jeolyub made a confused expression.

You are leading the horse, why are you getting on a carriage?

I questioned, causing Gu Jeolyubs expression to sour.

Did you forget?

No, its uh

You piece of I should beat you up like last tim-

Yay! Time to get on the horse!

Gu Jeolyub hurriedly ran toward the horse and seated himself onto the saddle.

He shouldve done that from the beginning. How dare he try to sneak his way out.

Satisfied with that, I leaned back on the carriage seat.

Young Master, are you tired?

Wi Seol-Ah, already sitting next to me, inquired after observing me.

Namgung Bi-ah was already asleep with her head leaning against Wi Seol-Ahs shoulder.

A little.

Did you not get enough sleep?

Its just my mind gets tired every time I talk to guys who are not in their right minds.

Then! You should come here too, Young Master!

Wi Seol-Ah got into posture, signaling me to lean against her shoulder.

Even though Namgung Bi-ah probably felt heavy to her on the opposing side.

I hesitated for a moment but eventually relented, pretending to have lost against her.

I was too tired to refuse her offer.

It feels soft.

Wi Seol-Ahs shoulder felt softer than I expected.

It felt like I might fall asleep right away.

I closed my eyes while leaning against Wi Seol-Ahs shoulder.

Not long after that, the carriage started its journey back to Shanxi.

******************

Right as the carriages began their journey back to the Gu Clan

There were people watching the carriages from above the roof of a building.

The target started to move. We will proceed with the operation as planned.

After hearing the man, who had his face covered with a black mask, the concealed figures all began to move at once.

Their acts seemed suspicious, but it seemed like the people of Hanam didnt notice them.

Which meant that they were well-trained.

These covert maneuvers did not escape the watchful eyes of Peng Woojin, observing from a distance.

Who is it?

His unamused expression contrasted with the one he had while conversing with Gu Yangcheon.

Who is it, I wonder.

It was the first time Peng Woojin saw such a group.

They were on Peng Woojins mind ever since he first began talking to Gu Yangcheon.

It was hard for him to notice them because of their concealed presence, but it was easy for Peng Woojin to find them with his Eye.

Because guys like them were bound to have a dirty color.

Hmm

Judging by their movements and reaction, it seemed like they were targeting Gu Yangcheon.

How dare they.

He didnt know why they were targeting that boy, but it was rather annoying for Peng Woojin.

To the point that he wanted to go and kill them this instant.

With that thought, a death aura began to envelop Peng Woojin.

He wanted to charge at them right this instant, to stop them from doing any nonsense.

However

He swiftly suppressed the aura, turning away without further consideration.

It was as if he had never been interested in the first place, his expression changing in an instant.

Initially, he contemplated taking matters into his own hands, but Peng Woojin was able to know after talking with Gu Yangcheon.

That just like him

Gu Yangcheon was also aware of those bastards presence as well.

He was certain about it.

Peng Woojin realized that Gu Yangcheons sights and Qi were pointed toward a specific direction.

Though he didnt understand why Gu Yangcheon showed no reaction.

That means I wont be interfering.

If Gu Yangcheon had a plan in mind, Peng Woojin needed to restrain himself.

He was destined to shine even brighter, and Peng Woojin couldnt afford to cast a shadow on his light.

He didnt need to add any more firewood when Gu Yangcheon was capable of burning passionately himself.

However, I am a bit disappointed.

Peng Woojin was intrigued by why Gu Yangcheon let them be, so Peng Woojin was very disappointed that he couldnt see the end of it.

Though tempted to sneak away and observe, he didnt know what Peng Ah-Hee would do to him this time, so he had to stop himself this time.

Im disappointed that our meeting this time was short, but I hope that you shine even brighter than now next time we meet, Young Master Gu.

Along with the hope that Gu Yangcheon shined in a more radiant light in their next meeting, Peng Woojin disappeared after turning into a black wind.

The wind headed toward the Murim Alliance.

Where Shaolins Chief Abbot was waiting.
