Chapter 221

Episode 220

“Where on earth has Dad gone?”

Dan So-mi, who entered Sacheon by carriage, tilted her head and asked. I was dissatisfied with coming this far and moving separately from Jang Sam-tae.

However, the reason he could not catch Dan Woo-hyeon was because he saw the determination in his eyes.

Dansomi was quick to notice.

Especially when it comes to Dan Woo-hyeon, more so than anyone else.

It certainly seemed like something big was happening.

“Well, that’s fine. But don’t worry too much. “Even if you throw him into the fire of hell, he will come back alive because he will think of you.”

Dan So-mi trembled.

I thought of Dan Woo-hyeon falling into the fire of hell. Just thinking about it gave me chills and made me tremble with a pale complexion.

“grandfather! You can’t say that to a child! “You’ll be surprised.”

Namgung So-hye gently patted Dan So-mi and sighed. I wiped away the tears that seemed to be about to fall at any moment and held her tightly in my arms.

“Still, it’s strange. “You left So-mi and went away separately...”

“My lord, he also has his own things to do. “Don’t try to dig into it.”

Kwon Moo-jin, who was sitting in the coach seat, muttered without even looking back. There was no one who could read Dan Woo-hyeon’s thoughts.

Also, the movement of Danwoohyeon always has meaning, and it is something that never harms the name of Honam Danga.

So all you have to do is trust and wait.

“If I go to Sacheon Island, will I be able to see Jiyak again?”

At that time, Dansomi looked out the window and asked.

Being surrounded by adults every day is not fun, no matter how much you feel like family.

Namgung So-hye stroked her head while looking at Dan So-mi, whose eyes were shining brightly.

“Hasn’t Jiyak already gone back to Honam?”

“Uhm... I guess so?”

Dan So-mi lowered her head with a regretful expression. He was silent for a while, as if he was thinking about something, and then suddenly raised his head and looked at Nam Gung-cheon.

“There’s a place I want to go!”

“Hey, where are you?”

“Home!”

Namgung-cheon made a puzzled expression as he said this with a smile. I’m on my way home right now. Do you want to go home?

Does this mean you want to go back as quickly as possible?

However, I knew that a child’s thoughts and an adult’s thoughts could be different, so I kept my eyes on Somi’s eyes and asked her back.

“I’m on my way home...?” Sure enough, Dansomi shook her head.

As if it wasn’t easy to get the words out, he moved his lips several times, then took a deep breath and began to speak carefully.

“Somi’s original house! “I want to go there.”

At that one word, everyone, including Namgung-cheon, raised their eyes wide.

The surprise was even greater because I had never said anything like that before.

But soon he smiled softly.

“Okay, let’s go.” “Hehehe.” I also wanted to see Namgungcheon.

What on earth happened to this child there?

Dan Woo-hyeon, who had moved from Xinjiang to Gansu and left the island, was leisurely walking along the main street and looking at the surrounding scenery.

He looked relaxed, as if he was on a pleasure trip, but on the other hand, Jang Sam-tae, who was following behind, was panting heavily with an expression on his face as if he were about to die.

I held my trembling right arm and swallowed a moan.

While traveling from Xinjiang to here, I broke my fingers three times. The flesh on his fingers had burst and he was in such a miserable state that it was now impossible to even move.

It was a moment when I realized once again that it was a mistake to be fooled by the martial arts skills and all.

“You’re late.”

“It’s because it hurts!” Jang Sam-tae stuck out his lips and expressed his dissatisfaction.

My fingers were killing me, but I kept walking faster.

Dan Woo-hyeon seemed to think he was moving leisurely, but for Jang Sam-tae, who was sick, it couldn’t have been any faster.

It was even worse because it hurt every time I moved.

“The human body is truly amazing. If you break it and put it back together properly, it becomes stronger. “Think of your pain now as part of that process

.”

Jang Sam-tae made an astonished expression.

‘What makes you hard?’ If you try to pierce a tree or break a rock with your bare hands, which hand won’t break?

It would be a different story if he were a master of external skills, but Jang Sam-tae had never even learned external skills.

That’s why I couldn’t stop my fingers from tingling.

He spoke with tears in his eyes.

Jang Sam-tae took a deep breath at Dan Woo-hyeon’s slightly crooked tone of voice.

Yes, today is the day of ancestral rites.

When I thought that I was going to die soon, I felt empty again.

When I looked up at the sky for a moment, I saw clouds flowing leisurely. In the meantime, Dansomi was pictured smiling.

Jang Sam-tae turned his head with a bitter look and looked at Dan Woo-hyeon. “No, well...

I didn’t say anything

specifically to Master Jang, but “That’s right... Shibeol...”

Jang Sam-tae, who had given up on everything, suddenly cursed and laughed as hard as he could. He knew that no matter what he did, he couldn’t escape from Dan Woo-hyeon’s grasp.

Eventually, I started to tremble as I saw evil spirits and ghosts slowly approaching.

* * *

Crack-tap-! Looking at the burning bonfire, Jang Sam-tae glanced away. Dan Woo-hyeon was seen drinking and eating meat with a nonchalant expression.

I felt a sense of discomfort at that sight.

This was Shaanxi, and Xi’an was a short distance away.

Since Xi’an is the capital of Shaanxi, I thought it would be better in many ways to stay there than to sleep in the open.

‘That’s strange, isn’t it?’

He rubbed his face, which was still sore from being hit so hard, and

looked back on the path he had taken.

Although people walked along the main road, the places they mainly used were roads that were not often traveled by people.

Since these were places rumored to be full of bandits, they were unlikely to be deserted.

So at first, I thought it was simply an attempt to catch bandits, but strangely, Dan Woo-hyeon had been trying to avoid entering large villages as much as possible.

As if trying to avoid being tracked by someone.

“Um... Master Jang.”

“What?”

“Why are you homeless?”

Dan Woo-hyeon burst into laughter at the question-filled question.

I looked at Jang Sam-tae while chewing the beef jerky without a care in the world.

“It’s to avoid attention.”

“Your attention...?”

“okay.”

“Or... has it increased several times without my knowledge?”

Dan Woo-hyeon’s eyes narrowed at the words he blurted out.

Realizing that he had made a mistake, Jang Sam-tae hurriedly closed his mouth, but he could not contain what he had said.

“Maybe so.”

However, Dan Woo-hyeon ignored it and laughed.

This meant that he would not use a pointless sword because his entire body was swollen to the point that there was no room for him to hit anymore.

Jang Sam-tae, who flinched, sighed in relief when his hand did not fly away and rummaged around the bonfire.

It was then.

Ssuk ssuk!

I heard people’s footsteps somewhere.

Dan Woo-hyeon’s head turned.

It could be heard from quite a distance away, and it wasn’t just one or two people. It didn’t seem like they were coming this way, but it was strange to see so many people moving at this late hour.

It might have been understandable if the trip was in a hurry, but since there was no sound of the carriage moving, it wasn’t true either.

“What do you have?”

“It’s people. “That’s quite a lot.”

“bump... “Are they bandits or thieves?”

“No, it doesn’t look like you learned martial arts.”

Jang Sam-tae breathed a sigh of relief.

My condition was already bad, and I felt like I would lose all my strength if I had to deal with the thieves again.

It was at that moment that Dan Woo-hyeon stood up.

His face was full of excitement.

Jang Sam-tae saw that and realized.

‘I can’t afford to not go to this.’ “Let’s go.”

“...yes.”

Finally, Jang Sam-tae stood up with a sigh and moved his tired body.
