Cheonma Wants to Live Quietly - Chapter 99
Byeok Tae-san had been looking around the place where Cheon Chushinui and Ilchimkai were hard at work, making medicine. He had been given the widest garden near the hall where he was staying, and the place was full of medicinal herbs.
Cheon Chushinui and Ilchimkai were diligently slicing medicinal herbs with small heads. Apparently, he hadn’t even trimmed half of the herbs he had piled up. In addition to this, on the edge of the garden were seven pots over the fire.
Two lawmakers from Cheon Yakbang were vigorously stirring the pot with a spatula. Byeok Tae-san was surprised at how quiet the garden was. Cheon Chushinui and Ilchimkai kept their mouths shut and focused only on shaving, unlike usual.
When Byeok Tae-san took a step into the garden, exuding a sense of presence, Cheon Chushinui and Ilchimkai turned their heads at the same time to look at him.
“Uh? Confucius!”
“What are you doing here?”
The two stopped what they were doing and stood up from their seats. Now, the attitude towards Byeok Tae-san had become very natural. It definitely felt like he was being taken care of.
“Uh?”
The Sunchimma who got up from his seat widened his eyes. He stared blankly at Cheon Chushinui with a puzzled expression.
“Why?”
The Invaders couldn’t answer.
“Why are you doing this? Are you doing this on purpose to make me feel frustrated?”
“Stay still.”
Ilchimkai stared at Byeok Tae-san.
“Brother, are you crazy? Why are you doing this all of a sudden? If you stare at me, your eyes are strange, so I feel bad.”
At one point, the monster turned his head and looked at Cheon Chushinui. However, he didn’t say anything and looked back at the wall Tae-san. He had already said that he was prepared to get hit, but the reaction of the Invasion had not been so great, so because of this, he became even more puzzled and curious.
“Oh, I’m really curious, why are you doing this? Brother, what is it?”
Meanwhile, Byeok Tae-san walked slowly and stood in front of the two of them.
“There are a lot of herbs.” At Byeok Tae-san’s words, Cheon Chushinui almost cursed. Someone ordered this and it became like this, but what if the person who ordered it said something like that?
However, Cheon Chushinui persevered. There was not much left, anyway. Now one just had to be a little more patient. Byeok Tae-san read such a sign of devotion to Cheon Chushinui and stared at him.
“Why, why are you like this, Confucius?”
“I feel like I’m going to buy it and hit it.”
“Hey, honestly, have I ever had an accident? Looking back, I have never had an accident.”
Cheon Chushinui said this as he lowered his voice as much as possible and added a word.
“All accidents were done by Confucius.”
Hearing this, Byeok Tae-san smiled and looked at Cheon Chushinui. His heart seemed to sink as soon as his eyes met Tae-san’s.
“You don’t know what the real accident was.”
“No, it’s okay if I don’t know about it. Even if you don’t show it, you won’t doubt Confucius’s abilities. Cancer.”
At this, Cheon Chushinui quickly changed the topic. “By the way, brother, why are you still doing this? Where are you sick?”
He then put his finger on the head next to him and turned it round and round. However, the Ilchimkai didn’t even look at Cheon Chushinui at all.
His gaze was fixed only on Byeok Tae-san.
“Sir. if…” The scoundrel took out his words very carefully. “Have you ever built up your skills?”
Byeok Tae-san nodded. “Well, I made a little bit of it as a test.”
Cheon Chushinui looked at Byeok Tae-san and Ilchimkai with an expression that he did not understand the English language. The explanation of the Invasion was followed.
“Obviously, until a few days ago, even looking at Confucius, I could not understand anything. Either there is no internal skill at all, or the level is so high that I can’t figure it out.”
Cheon Chushinui’s expression turned slightly serious. “I honestly thought it was the latter. The things that Confucius showed us… It’s so unbelievably great…”
The Ilchimkai continued speaking with a confused expression. “But now, the realm of Confucius can be clearly seen. So, I just have to ask… Wasn’t there really no such thing in the past?”
Byeok Tae-san laughed bitterly. “Is it that important?”
Byeok Tae-san’s body, who had said so, suddenly disappeared completely. The eyes of the chimpanzee were as bright as a fire. Once again, there was a void.
This time, it was much larger than the original. The void increased so quickly that it soon became incomprehensible, and he escaped the sense of one invasion. By visually confirming the process of increasing the inner hole, one could clearly see the difference between having no inner hole at all and being unaware of it.
“Oh…!”
Cheon Chushinui gained a small realization through only one change in its senses. It coincided with a topic that had been consistently held for a long time.
The Invasion Monster fell into a state of trance in an instant. Ilchimkai looked at him with an envious expression. Then, quietly standing next to him, he bowed his head slightly to Byeok Tae-san. When Byeok Tae-san saw this, he grinned and went out of the garden.
* * *
Ilchimkai slowly opened his eyes. A whirlwind of weak energy swept around his body. It felt as if his power supply was about to explode. The inner cavity was tightly compressed and filled the danjeon.
If one were to continue to practice as it was, their field would jump as the danjeon were to grow.
“Brother, are you out of your mind?”
At one point, the monster turned his head and looked at the god of heaven. He looked at the sky and saw that it was black.
The journey of enlightenment that started in the morning ended at night. And until then, Cheon Chushinui had protected him.
“Hmmm. I didn’t know it would take this long. Have you been standing there all day?”
Cheon Chushinui put on an absurd expression on the words of the Invasion. “What nonsense? Haru. It’s been two full days since you closed your eyes.”
“What?” The Ilchimkai looked at Cheon Chushinui with an absurd expression.
However, he thought that it might be because he remembered the sensations in Danjeon now. In addition to this, he felt sorry and thankful.
It was because the god had been protecting him for two days.
“Anyway, how are you feeling? My strength is pulsing, but…”
“Hey heh, heck. what… It did get better.”
“Okay. Anyway, I thought my eyes were going to collapse right away. Now, can’t you just take care of all the herbs?” Cheon Chushinui said this as he giggled.
The scoundrel screamed in annoyance. “Hey, you bastard! Why are you trying to pass it all on to me again? Don’t you know that you really hate to let me go?”
After yelling like that, I coughed a few times with a look of embarrassment. “Hey heh, heck. what… Thank you.” Cheon Chushinui giggled again at the words of the Invasion.
“Thank you… Oh, herbal medicine?”
“Oh, really!”
The scoundrel was furious again, but in the end, he laughed out loud.
“Did nothing happen while I was doing this?”
“Don’t worry, I’ll go see them soon.”
“Who’s them?”
“Murimmaeng, Heukryeon, Namgungse, and Zhugellse.” Ilchimkai made a strong impression.
“Why are you meeting them?”
“What else am I to do? Leave them all to our Confucius? Can’t you see what the outcome will be?”
The scoundrel had nothing to say. “Let me go too. If they ever punch them, I will stop them.”
“Hey, thank you so much, because of you, I’m about to burst into tears. All right. Do you know what I’m going to fight for? I’m just going to wear it next to her courtesan or her and have a nice conversation.”
“Then let’s go together! Should I chop some herbs here while you play?”
At that, Cheon Chushinui grabbed his stomach and smiled.
* * *
“Uh-huh! So, you should have found me sooner. Anyway, nice to see you.”
When Cheon Chushinui greeted them with a big smile, the four people’s expressions softened.
This place was currently Baekhwaru, and the people with Ilchimkai were Jin Sa-hong, Jeok Gyeol-myeong, Nam Gung-jun, and Zhuge Gwan.
Next to Cheon Chushinui, a chimpanzee was sitting. After meeting Byeok Tae-san the other day, the four of them started a much more thorough investigation.
It was probably because things at the time were so reluctant. These four men were slightly different, but they were quite good players anyway. There were not many people in the world who could match them.
After supposing that there were enough masters to put pressure on them, around Byeok Tae-san, they started investigating to find out. In the meantime, he got a call from Cheon Chushinui.
‘Let’s meet once.’
And now, this had happened.
A beautiful courtesan on either side of the four of them sat close to each other and fed them alcohol and snacks, and from a distance, other courtesans played instruments.
In front of them were Cheon Chushinui and Ilchimkai called Cheonhamyeong. It was an experience one seldom went through.
“Our Confucius, in fact, was very ill, but only recently recovered. So, the sociability is extremely low, so please understand.” He nodded, almost as if a monster was arguing at the words of their god.
“Our Confucius certainly does.” The four of them looked at such Cheon Chushinui and Ilchimkai with curious eyes.
In the end, Jeok Gyeol-myeong, who was the most impatient, spoke. “I can’t believe the two of you are under Confucius.”
Then, Jin Sa-hong took the words of Jeok Gyeol-myeong and continued. “So do I. Aren’t the two of you so famous in the world that no one knows about them?”
As if he had something to say about it, Nam Gung-jun opened his mouth. “Honestly, I think you two need to show off their skills in a bigger place.”
Among them, Zhuge Gwan was the only one who spared no words. The man didn’t make hasty judgments or say anything, he just watched calmly. Cheon Chushinui smiled brightly when they finished talking.
“Our Confucius, you should not be judged by appearances alone. He is a man with a much greater hidden side.”
The four people were slightly bewildered by the tone of Cheon Chushinui’s tone and the sincerity in their eyes, but they stood out.
To be honest, at first, he couldn’t believe the fact that Cheon Chushinui and Ilchimkai took on positions under Byeok Tae-san. And so, he thought there was definitely something there. It wasn’t that Cheon Chushinui or Ilchimkai really went under Tae-san, perhaps they did so because there was something they wanted. And perhaps what they wanted was the secret that Byeok Tae-san was able to do in Homu-ryun.
However, looking at that atmosphere right now, it seemed that Cheon Chushinui was truly following Tae-san. And so, there was bound to be some curiosity.
“Anyway, if you have something to say in the future, please find me. It will probably work out just fine.” Cheon Chushinui said this as he raised his glass of wine.
Then, the rest of the people all took their glasses of wine and poured them into their mouths at once. As they chewed the snacks that the courtesans put in their mouths, everyone’s expressions relaxed little by little.
Watching the scene from the side, Ilchimkai was admiring inwardly. Cheon Chushinui was taking control of the atmosphere as he had made up his mind. As the atmosphere improved, more diverse conversations took place.
In addition to this, the words that were deep in his heart sometimes popped out. This was Baekhwaru, and Baekhwaru was Haomun. Of course, the courtesans in this room now were also Hao Mundo.
Now, while serving guests as usual, they were diligently engraving their words into their minds. Since each person remembered them separately according to what they had decided, he was able to reproduce all the conversations in this room without omission.
Anyway, as the drinking party continued, various words came out, and in the midst of that, everyone was startled by one word that Cheon Chushinui slipped away. It was said that Byeok Tae-san soon became independent.
The first person to react was Jin Sa-hong.
“Yes? So, does Confucius fall completely out of the top of the golden wall?”
“Initially, you didn’t even know what you were doing at the top of the golden wall. He just has a stake in some of the things he has contributed to the top of the gold wall.”
It referred to the share of profits from the business with Homu-ryun.
There were many reasons why Jin Sa-hong reacted so violently. It was also Jin Sa-hong who promised the most deals with the top of the gold wall when establishing the Moorimmeng Wuhan branch.
The rest of the people also promised to make a deal, but they only put their feet up to get a sense of the atmosphere. This was a situation where one could step out at any time. But with Jin Sa-hong, that was impossible.
He decided that the deal he would make anyway, preemption was much more advantageous, so he put it down. And that was also the reason why the other three took one step. The Moorimmaeng rushed in, so they decided that it would be difficult for them to leave an impression no matter what they did.
Jeok Gyeol-myeong’s lips stretched long. “Then, Confucius bye must also run the top, right?”
“Isn’t that going to happen? We also have the right talent.”
Everyone’s eyes lit up at Cheon Chushinui’s words. “You have talent? As far as I know, it seems that there are only a few people that Confucius bye has achieved… Oh! Are you talking about a married woman, Yeon Ha-rin Sojour?”
At this, Cheon Chushinui smiled and shook his head. “Oh my gosh, if you do, you’ll end up eating the top. So, I am far superior to her martial arts talent.”
“If so, who…” They recognized enough to recognize them, and researched enough to investigate.
However, it was not possible to find out how closely related Byeok Tae-san was to Haomen.
“There is a child named Jahyang among the quarrels that our Confucius brought.”
“Feeling?”
Cheon Chushinui smiled brightly and nodded. “Yes. I found out that the child’s prize money was considerable. She is currently studying on her own. It will probably be of great help to Confucius.”
There was a little confusion in his eyes. The more he talked about it, the more he didn’t know.
Jeok Gyeol-myeong suddenly spoke up. In fact, that was the purpose of his coming here today. “Do you know Sibi who was guiding me when I went to the golden closet?” “I do not know. Until there…”
Jeok Gyeol-myeong looked at Cheon Chushinui with eager eyes and said, “Please take a look. And she wants me to adopt the child as her disciple. Please do this.”
“It’s not possible.” Cheon Chushinui stopped talking so resolutely that the atmosphere became cold.
“Sorry. I didn’t want to leave any room. Confucius will never forcefully hand over those children.” ‘
At this, Jeok Gyeol-myeong’s eyes gleamed. “Are you saying that you won’t stop me from saying that you will come voluntarily?”
At this, Cheon Chushinui’s eyes grew cold. “Of course. but… It’s difficult if something unpleasant happens in the process.”
Jeok Gyeol-myeong smiled brightly. “Are you saying this? I’ll take care of everything. We just need to meet once.”
Cheon Chushinui smiled back in response. “I will ask Confucius.”
At this, the atmosphere cooled again. However, that didn’t last long. It was because the high-class girls suddenly made the atmosphere hot.
A pleasant night soon followed.
