Chapter 142

Episode 142

“The presence of Madokjin means that there may be other groups as well.”

Namgung So-hye, who was returning to her room after early morning training, found Dan Woo-hyeon washing his face and suddenly opened his mouth.

She also knows very well how things are going in the manor. She was also a woman who had fought with Ma Dok-jin once and knew his fear.

She clenched her fists and glared at Dan Woo-hyeon.

“Are you sure you want to fight?”

“It wasn’t me who started the fight. “It’s over there.”

“Even though Emperor Wu won’t stay still?”

“Are you so afraid of Emperor Wu that

you will live off of swords and rice?”

Dan Woo-hyeon smiled and wiped his face with a cloth. His expression and actions are still full of composure, and he doesn’t seem to be nervous about the upcoming fight.

Is he calm or has no emotions at all?

“What about Somi?”

“Even if that wasn’t the case, I sent it to Hong Won-chang’s house.”

“Your preparations are thorough....”

Namgung Sohye watched with narrowed eyes.

Something was strange.

In the past, Dan Woo-hyeon would have backed off and widened the distance before anything bothersome happened.

Of course, there were things he personally did, but he tried not to get involved as much as possible, and this made us realize that his will was reluctant to be associated with martial arts.

But now?

different.

It’s like I’ve become a different person.

They are actively trying to participate in the fight.

As if I could achieve something by doing this.

“What are you trying to achieve?”

“well? “Is there something I want to gain from this martial arts world?”

Namgung Sohye thought about it carefully.

Dan Woo-hyeon is an extremely individualistic person. If it were not for the fact that he needed money because of his sweet taste, he would be content living in a beggar’s cave rather than in this fancy manor.

Does such a person gain something by killing Madokjin?

This cannot happen.

So, on the contrary, is it something you want to live comfortably?

Neither is that.

Rather, if you make an enemy, you make one.

“Don’t try to think. Don’t try to read people’s thoughts as you please. “It’s not something you might guess.”

“Can you please stop reading?”

“ha ha ha.”

Dan Woo-hyeon smiled happily.

I thought Namgoong Sohye’s pouty expression was quite cute. He stretched out his hand once and then stopped. Because I have a habit of stroking Dansomi, I almost touched it without realizing it. Namgung Sohye raised her double wick.

“is it so! I’m a child! “Let’s pet it somewhere.”

“I didn’t mean it that way...”

“Try it!”

He held the hilt of the sword as if he was going to stab him at any moment.

On days when Dan Woo-hyeon’s hand even came close, he even sent a harsh look that felt like he would cut it off. However, when Dan Woo-hyeon didn’t do anything, he eventually let out a long sigh.

“The Dan Confucius I know is a somewhat laid-back person who doesn’t try to make enemies... but it’s strange.”

“What do you think you know about me?”

The meaningless words I blurted out were met with a tone as sharp as a knife. Surprised, Namgung Sohye barely managed to hold on to her trembling body and swallowed her breath.

The moment I made eye contact with Dan Woo-hyeon, I felt like I was being sucked into darkness.

‘Yes, I’ve felt this way before.’

Namgungcheon sits in his seat as the leader of the Murim Alliance and looks down. The light in the eyes of the Absolute of Apostolic Studies that is sometimes shown. This is the perspective of a strong person who knows that no one will be able to surpass him.

At the same time as feeling like that....

a distant gaze.

Those eyes are the eyes of someone who knows something that even Namgung Sohye, Namgung Cheon, and even Sadohak have not seen. It seemed as if the appearance of the Absolute, which had been hidden until now, was fully revealed.

Namgung Sohye took a deep breath and took a step back.

Then a small voice was heard.

” huh?”

When Dan Woo-hyeon turned his head, he saw Namgung So-hye making a blank expression. When I gave her a puzzled look, unable to understand its meaning, she urgently turned her head.

“It was the strongest, so why isn’t it the best? “If you’re the strongest, isn’t that also the best?”

“Just because you’re strong doesn’t mean you’re the best. “At that time, there was a different person who was at the highest level...”

“At that time...”

“Why are you doing that?”

“Oh no! It’s weirder than that. Why isn’t Madokjin moving from Aeyang? Given his nature, it’s time to attack him...?”

“They must be checking the liver.”

” liver?”

Dan Woohyun nodded.

There are many reasons for Madokjin’s actions. They announce that they are here because of Kwon Moo-jin and take control of Akyang. Everyone’s anger and frustration will return to Dan Woo-hyeon, who can be said to be Kwon Moo-jin and his family.

It is an attempt to break the faith and trust of people who have been close to them.

Also checking the liver.

In other words, we are paying attention to how things will move from here.

Since the person who would normally attack is a master named Danwoo-hyeon, it must have been a ploy to figure out his movements in advance and prepare for it.

If so, playing to that rhythm is also fun.

“What on earth are you going to do....”

“Do you know when the martial arts people receive the greatest enthusiasm?”

“That’s it...”

Is it like a dance competition?

Or when you cut down a great villain and the rumor spreads?

Namgung Sohye tilted her head between two answers. I hesitated about what answer to give. Since Dan Woo-hyeon is a person who sometimes gives unexpected answers, I felt like I wanted to get the answer right.

Dan Woo-hyeon opened his mouth, whether he knew how Namgung So-hye felt or not.

“It’s time to fight against the evildoer and win proudly.”

“What is that!”

I was thinking of two things, but I narrowed them down to one answer. Namgung So-hye regretted why she didn’t say something sooner and lamented her foolishness.

“There is nothing like the greatest fame and instant fame.”

“Yeah... right.”

uh? Namgung Sohye thought.

What I said just now... If I look back on it one by one, there is only one conclusion.

“no way! Are you planning on having a dance with them?”

“Hahaha, okay.”

Dan Woo-hyeon walked with a big smile on his face.

I couldn’t tell if he had nothing more to say or if he just wanted to see Namgoong Sohye thinking more, but he seemed to be in a very good mood

.

Nam Gung So-hye sighed while looking at the back.

What on earth does that person want to do?...

As Dan Woo-hyeon slowly walked away, Namgung So-hye stared at his back. Eventually, something occurred to me and I clenched my fist without realizing it.

“But that’s what Jangju said. “The strongest and the best are different.”

“yes?”

“It is said that the martial god was the strongest, but did not become the best, and the blood demon was the best, but did not become the strongest. As expected, since they are descendants, they must have acquired something that allows them to know details of events from a thousand years ago. Isn’t it amazing? It means that you can hear what happened between those thousands of people.

“Hehehe.”

At that time, Su-hye thought as she looked at Nangong-cheon’s smile.

Although it is a thing of the past, it is surprising that such warriors existed. I also liked the happy expression on my grandfather’s face as he talked about such things.

These are extraordinary figures that cannot be seen now.

As a fellow warrior, how could you not feel happy, entertained, and intrigued just by hearing these people’s stories?

But Namgung Sohye changed her mind just now.

‘No, Grandfather...’

There may be

someone who didn’t become the best right in front of our eyes right now .

Namgung So-hye thought over and over again the name she had found in Samcheon’s tomb.
