Chapter 146 - 146

Chapter 146: Chapter 146

It had already been several months since he entered Chengdu, but Soma's appearance remained the same. While children at his age grow up day by day, Soma's appearance is fixed at about six or seven years old.

Any child would have been very sad having this kind of circumstances, but Soma calmly accepted his reality.

'Well, there are some advantages.'

The bright appearance of a young child was the best weapon to soften the vigilance of the opponent and to make them lower their guards.

Yu Gi-cheon, who was in front of him, was one of those who fell victim to Soma's appearance. Yu Gi-cheon fell in love with the appearance of Soma, whom he met by chance, and found him very cute. So he gave him some pocket money and moon cakes when he met him along the way.

Yu Gi-cheon found out about Soma's true self by coincidence.

On his way back to the mansion with his escorts, he was attacked. They slaughtered all of his escorts and tried to take his life.

It was Soma who suddenly appeared and killed all the people.

The person who instigated the attack was a former servant of Yu Gi-cheon. He was after Yu Gi-cheon's wealth so he hired some mercenaries.

Soma even found the old subordinates who took part and cleaned them up neatly.

It was then that Yu Gi-cheon realized that Soma was indeed a terrifying being.

After that, Soma occasionally visited Yu Gi-cheon's mansion to eat delicious food. However, Yu Gi-cheon couldn't deal with Soma as comfortably as before.

Because he knew the cruelty and terrifying skills behind Soma's cute face.

Above all, behind Soma was a man who made everyone in Sichuan terrified. Yu Gi-cheon was so surprised the first time he knew of that fact.

Pyo-wol was the definition of fear in Sichuan Province. In particular, he was a subject of fear for those in power such as Yu Gi-cheon.

In the past, the powerful and influential people in Chengdu and Sichuan had lined themselves up with prestigious sects such as Emei and Qingcheng. They joined hands with those prestigious sects so that they can protect their wealth and power.

However, their operations were brutally trampled by a single person, where they had no choice but to close their gates.

Naturally, influential people tried to get in Pyo-wol's good graces. However, no one succeeded in establishing direct contact with Pyo-wol.

Some even said that Pyo-wol had already left Chengdu. However, Yu Gi-cheon knew that Pyo-wol was actually staying in Chengdu in one of the Xintian Road mansions.

It was Soma who told him that.

Soma really liked Yu Gi-cheon. Because he was the first to treat him well without any calculations or hidden agendas in mind.

He was deceived by his cute appearance.

Even now, Soma was smiling brightly. But Yu Gi-cheon couldn't laugh.

By knowing the true nature of Soma, it would be impossible to treat him as comfortably as before.

Soma looked down at Yu Gi-cheon.

"Grandpa is a very good person."

"Me?"

"It was your first time meeting him yesterday. And even though you had no reason to warn him, you still did."

"He's a good man. Even though his nephew made a big mistake–"

"You have to distinguish between a mistake and a deliberate attempt. He crossed the fence with impure intentions. So you can't say it was a mistake, grandpa!"

"I'm sorry. I made a mistake. Anyway, I thought it was too harsh for him to pay the price for his nephew's wrong choice."

"I understand grandpa's perspective, but don't do something like this next time. Because if you do, I might just avoid grandpa."

"Yes, I'll be careful."

"I'm sorry, grandpa! For saying things like this—"

"Don't."

Yu Gi-cheon shook his head.

"See you later then, grandpa!"

"Okay!"

Soma floated into the air.

His figure disappeared from his line of sight in an instant. This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com

"Hoo...!"

Yu Gi-cheon, who was left alone, let out a deep sigh.

Soma returned to the Red Villa. Then, Steward Go greeted Soma.

Steward Go initially had a very sharp impression. However, after Soma and the other two children entered the Red Villa, he became soft.

Soma asked,

"Uncle Go! Where's Guian?"

Steward Go pointed his finger at the basement of the mansion.

"Is he stuck there again?"

Steward Go smiled and nodded. Then Soma sighed.

"What does he like about that stinky basement?"

Soma sighed and walked towards the entrance to the basement.

Steward Go looked at Soma's back with a smile on his face.

The back view of Soma walking with the wheels hanging around his neck was so cute.

The burden on Steward Go was greatly reduced as Soma and the children entered the Red Villa. Since the children shared his work, Steward Go was able to faithfully stick to his duties.

Soma stood at the entrance and shouted,

"Is she learning the zither again? How persistent."

"She really is. The problem is that she doesn't have that much talent..."

Guian shook his head with a tired look on his face.

Soma stood up and said,

"Shall we go together?"

"No!"

Guian refused.

He had no intention of going out of his own space.

Soma clicked his tongue and left the underground space.

The place he headed for was Pyo-wol's residence.

Pungtadadang!

The closer he got to Pyo-wol's dwelling, the louder the sound of the zither was heard.

Soma frowned heavily.

The sound of the zither should be clear, but all he could hear was a strange sound like someone was scratching a metal.

As he got closer to the area, the noise got louder.

Soma eventually had to cover his ears with both of his hands.

"Brother, this is Soma! I'm going in."

He spoke loudly and entered the room.

In the room, Pyo-wol and Eun-yo were sitting facing each other.

A zither was placed in front of Eunyo, and her white hands were diligently plucking strings. For every pluck of the strings, there would be an unpleasant sound.

Soma frowned even more by the sound of a metal being scratched by a fingernail.

'Oh my god!'

Now that he got closer, the sound was several times more terrible than it was outside.

But what was more impressive was Pyo-wol.

Even while listening to Eunyo's distressing music right in front of him, Pyo-wol did not even flinch.

Later on, Eunyo's terrible music was over.n-.0????????1n

Eunyo tilted her head.

Her unfocused eyes were filled with a subtle anticipation.

At that moment, Pyo-wol opened his mouth.

"The zither doesn't seem right for you."

"Ugh!"

"There's no problem with you running a brothel even if you don't know how to play the zither, so just give up."

Eunyo bowed her head at Pyo-wol's resolute words.

"Kekeke!"

Seeing Eunyo like that, Soma burst out laughing.

"Don't laugh!"

"See! This is why I told you to give up earlier. Don't you know you'll just be ruining your own business?"

"Hmpf! I won't give up. I won't!"

Eunyo got up from her seat.

She glared at Soma and went outside. Even though she was blind, she had the ability to perceive her surroundings accurately through her other senses.

Soma smiled and sat down in front of Pyo-wol.

"Brother is so amazing, how can you keep hearing that kind of noise? I couldn't stand it for even a moment."

Just as Guian found his aptitude, Eunyo also found a place she liked.

It was the brothel that Pyo-wol owned.

Eunyo had never decorated herself in a splendid fashion in all of her life. So she was fascinated by the splendor of the brothel and courtesans.

Although she couldn't see it with her own eyes, she liked to wear colorful clothes and accessories.

Although she had no intention of selling her body as a prostitute, she wanted to run a brothel. She thought that in order to run a brothel, she had to know what the courtesans were doing. That's why she was trying to learn how to play the zither.

Unfortunately, however, she didn't have the talent for it.

The heavens gave her such a beautiful appearance, but it didn't give her the talent for music.

She was sent to the Celestial Music Hall where Pyo-wol learned music, and studied under the band teacher, but her skills did not improve at all.

Rather, it made the band teachers tired of the terrible sound she was making. In the end, she could not last two months and was kicked out of the Celestial Music Hall.

After that, she came to Pyo-wol because she wanted to learn how to play the zither. Of course, the result was the same.

Soma was envious of Guian and Eunyo. The two of them had already found a job they liked.

He hasn't found anything yet.

Something he would like to do.

And the direction he wanted to go.

Although he escaped from the Xiaoleiyin Temple, he was still wandering around, searching.
