Habuk Pengga Swordsman Genius - Chapter 141
Only Noblemtl
Episode 141. Ally or Enemy? (1)
Gangbuk Odaesega, find a family that will be on your side.
And a test to get the signature of the head of that family.
Getting through it was like trying to reach a star in the sky.
The question was when we would realize the true meaning of this problem.
As Peng Dae-wi was laughing, imagining Han Bin’s embarrassed expression in his head, Peng Gang-wi put down his teacup.
widely!
Then, unlike his usual self, he drew a line at the corner of his mouth.
At that sight, Peng Daewi asked.
“Brother, what’s with that expression?”
“I think if Hanbin is that guy, he’ll definitely solve the problem faster than anyone else in the family.”
“Huh? Are you serious about that?”
“That guy is not a tiger, he’s more like a fox. Anyway, let’s wait and see. I bet he passes the test within a month.”
“Hmm, then I… … .”
“Are you hesitant to bet?”
“I bet you three months, no, that it won’t be solved.”
“What will you bet?”
“I’ll bet the white pearl I’ve been hiding since I was ten.”
“Huh, when you were ten? So you’re saying you started drinking then? Without your brothers knowing? I just found out about this today.”
“Oops. I misspoke, brother. It was ten years ago.”
“No matter when you confess, your face always turns red!”
At Peng Kang-wi’s teasing tone, Peng Dae-wi looked up at the ceiling.
Then Peng Kang-wi asked.
“Brother, did you hide anything in the basement of the Tiger Headquarters while I was in the closed building?”
“What do you mean, brother?”
“Isn’t the basement of the tiger’s hideout a place to store things that are too good to throw away but are of no use right now?”
“Yes, that’s right, brother.”
“But why did he choose to enter through the underground passage? I’m suddenly curious.”
“So, in my opinion… … .”
When Peng Dae-wi trailed off, Peng Gang-wi nodded and urged him on.
“Speak quickly.”
“Maybe we needed a training room.”
“You’re saying this is a training room?”
“I heard that he came out of the basement of the Tiger Cave after a full day.”
“Hmm, maybe there’s some enlightenment there… … .”
“If you’re curious, should I take a look around the basement?”
“Okay, little brother! This is not the time to be worrying about useless things.”
“Yes, that’s right.”
Peng Dae-wi nodded and poured the tea into his cup in one go.
Peng Kang-wi also smiled at that sight.
One third of the clan’s power was liquidated.
Because of that, the family is still in disarray.
First of all, it was time to re-establish family unity.
* * *
Same time.
Hanbin had just left Habukpengga with the Red Blood Tiger Squad.
Hanbin walked slowly and took out the five elements card from his arms.
Imoo-myeong, who had seen the five elements, asked with curious eyes.
“Master, is this the common divine water of the famous Jiangbei Five Great Powers?”
“It’s not a new thing, to be exact, it’s a wasteland.”
“Is it a pet?”
“I heard from you a few days ago. You asked me to get confirmation from the other Sega here.”
“Didn’t you say I only need to get it from one place?”
“Will that be easy?”
“What do you mean?”
“Do you know what the candidates for the Gangbuk Odaese family’s small family say about this test?”
“What are you saying, Master?”
“The suffering of Gangbuk.”
“Is it an ascetic practice?”
“That’s how difficult it is. And it’s rare for a candidate for Sogaju to achieve his goal on time. It’s common for people to beg their families to let them retake the exam. That’s what people know.”
“Then shouldn’t we get help from those who passed first?”
After finishing speaking, Imoo-myeong narrowed his eyebrows as he recalled the small families of the five great families in Gangbuk.
Hanbin, who was watching that scene, smiled and continued speaking.
“No one who passes this test ever tells how he solved it. That’s the rule. If there were no rule, this test wouldn’t have lasted a hundred years.”
“Then what are you going to do?”
“But I know one person who definitely knows the answer to that test.”
“Who is that? Then shouldn’t we go and meet that person first? Master.”
“There’s no need to go see him.”
“What do you mean, Master, that there is no need to go and meet me?”
“That’s me!”
When Hanbin smiled and pointed at his face with his index finger, Imoo-myeong opened his mouth wide.
“Gasp, Master!”
At that time, Seolhwa, who was listening from the side, also joined in.
“Confucius, what is the solution to the test?”
“Are you really curious, Seolhwa?”
“I can give you five of those iron coins.”
“I’m sorry, but I can’t tell you for five iron coins. It’s top secret.”
“ah.”
Seolhwa let out a sigh and then glared at Hanbin as if she had expected something like that.
The Red Blood Tiger Corps members who were watching the conversation from the side burst into laughter.
Everyone had an expression on their face as if they had been fooled again.
At that moment, Sim Mi-ho approached Han-bin as if remembering something.
“My lord, just a moment.”
“Why? Deputy Chief Sim.”
“We’re going to Seomunsega, right?”
“No, I’ll stop by there later.”
“If you don’t go to Seomun Segara where the great swordsman Seomun Mugyeol is, then where are you going?”
Everyone tilted their heads at Sim Mi-ho’s words.
The five great families of Gangbuk were the Habuk Peng family, the Shandong Ak family, the Murong family, the Hwangbo family, and the Seomun family.
Among these, the ones who were close to Hanbin were Shandong Akga and Seomun Se-ga.
Everyone thought that going to Seomun Se-ga, where Seomun Mu-gyeol had recently met, was the fastest way to solve this test.
Hanbin answered while everyone’s eyes were shining.
“Hwangbo Se-ga.”
Everyone’s eyes widened at Hanbin’s short answer.
Sim Mi-ho asked again urgently.
“Are you Hwangbo Se-ga?”
Sim Mi-ho tilted her head. Nothing came to mind, but it was a strangely burdensome name.
Sim Mi-ho, who had been wondering for a while, shouted in surprise.
“My lord!”
“Why? Deputy Chief Sim?”
“If you go to Hwangbo Se-ga, Hwangbo Gyeon-woo will give you a cow.”
“Right. Why is that a problem?”
“If it were Hwangbo Gyeonwoo, the lord would have struck the back of his head at Jeolhogok… … .”
“Ah, Vice-Captain Shim, why are you lying? When did I hit you in the back of the head?”
Hanbin waved his hand and turned his head.
Sim Mi-ho looked at Han-bin as if he couldn’t believe it.
At that moment, someone spoke behind Sim Mi-ho.
“It’s easy to forget the person who hit you.”
The main character of the voice was Joho.
Seol-hwa, who was next to Jo-ho, nodded her head at Jo-ho’s words.
“That’s right. Even if the person who got hit can’t sleep, the person who hit can sleep soundly.”
At those words, Sim Mi-ho asked.
“Didn’t you guys change what you said?”
“Oh, did you change that?”
Seolhwa spoke seriously as Joho scratched the back of his head.
“No. It’s the person who hits that sleeps with his legs stretched out.”
As Seol-hwa answered with shining eyes, Jo-ho intervened.
“Then the person who gets hit will just suffer.”
“Of course. But among those who were hit, there are some who sleep with their legs stretched out.”
“This is a riddle… … .”
When Joho tilted his head and trailed off, Seolhwa raised one finger and said.
“There is only one type of person who sleeps comfortably among those who are hit.”
“What is the answer? It’s a fairy tale.”
Joho looked at Seolhwa with a curious expression.
“Dead people sleep with their legs stretched out.”
Joho’s mouth opened wide at the unexpected answer.
Joho thought it was a funny joke for a moment and laughed heartily.
“Oh, I totally got beat up by Seolhwa. I’ll buy you a snack while I’m passing by, Seolhwa.”
Sim Mi-ho, who was standing next to me, also gave a thumbs up as if she found it funny.
“Our folk tales are witty!”
“lol.”
Seolhwa smiled brightly at the compliments from those around her.
Hanbin, who was listening to their conversation, turned his head and smiled.
After a while, when the laughter died down, Hanbin called Sim Miho.
“Deputy Chief Sim.”
“Yes, my lord.”
“Take this first.”
Hanbin handed the envelope to Sim Miho.
Sim Mi-ho, who checked the anterior sac, narrowed his eyes.
“To this extent… … .”
Hanbin spoke quickly as if to cut off Sim Miho’s guesses.
“It’s money I left behind, so don’t make any assumptions.”
“Why Silence?”
“First, find the iron and then open the letter in the sack. It will tell you what you need to do. If you want to hunt, you need to get the tools first.”
“A tool?”
“Let’s go!”
“Yes, my lord.”
Sim Mi-ho was deeply absorbed in the game.
After a while.
Sim Mi-ho, who received Han Bin’s instructions, left the line with a solemn expression.

This week later.
Below Garam Mountain on the border of Hebei and Shandong.
There was a dizzying array of halls there, like a maze.
It was Hwangbo Se-ga, one of the five great families of Gangbuk.
Of these, the most lively and moving one was, as expected, the martial arts studio.
In the practice fields where Hwangbo Se-ga was located, shouts of encouragement were ringing out loud from the morning.
Among them, there was a place where the sound of Sega leaving could be heard, and that was the first training ground of Hwangbo Sega.
“The best······!”
“Jayshik······!”
Men as tall as eight feet were practicing martial arts with loud voices.
There was a man looking down from the stage as they practiced.
The man nodded his head soullessly with a gloomy expression.
His name is Hwangbo Gyeonwoo.
He was the mainstay of the Hwangbo family and would take responsibility for the next generation.
In Shandong, the Hwangbo Family is praised as the pillar of the martial arts world along with the Shandong Musicians.
Are you the head of that family?
Just by that name alone, Hwangbo Gyeonwoo’s future was guaranteed.
Although he seemed to have a bright future ahead of him, he had some worries these days.
The beginning of that worry was a sudden blow that struck right in Jeolhogok.
Although there were no physical injuries, the psychological wounds were severe.
No, to be exact, it wasn’t a mental blow, it was a financial blow.
“Ah, that damn contract!”
Hwangbo Gyeonwoo recalled the events of that day without realizing it.
If I had returned to my family and reported it right away, it would have been over, but I didn’t say anything because of my pride, which resulted in a huge financial loss.
If I told my family about it now, it would be resolved, but my pride wouldn’t allow it.
At that moment, his younger brother, Hwangbo Young-woo, approached from the side.
“Brother, are you worried?”
“no.”
“Is this perhaps because of what happened to the youngest prince of the Habuk Peng family last time?”
“hmm.”
“That’s right.”
“One day I will wring that bastard’s neck.”
“Brother, didn’t you say that guy was a candidate for Sogaju?”
“That’s right, little brother, so maybe he’ll come this way someday.”
“Are you talking about the test for the candidate for Sogaju?”
“Yes. When the time comes, I will make him crawl in front of me, Pang Hanbin. No matter how much he crawls, he will never be able to get it from our family.”
Hwangbo Gyeonwu clenched his teeth.
At that sight, Hwangbo Young-woo raised the corners of his lips and continued speaking.
“Brother, that someday is now.”
“What does that mean?”
“I heard that guy Pang Hanbin is coming this way.”
“Coming this way? Have you already been rejected by other families?”
“No, it’s not that. They say they’re coming right towards our family.”
“When did you give me that loan shark contract and now you’re coming to us?”
“Usury? Brother?”
When Hwangbo Youngwoo tilted his head, Hwangbo Gyeonwoo quickly waved his hand.
“Oh, it’s nothing. So don’t worry about it.”
“Brother, don’t you say that even a piece of white paper is better when held together? I don’t know the details, but wouldn’t a better solution come out if we put our heads together?”
“If there’s a good way to twist his neck, tell me, brother.”
“therefore…….”
As Hwangbo Youngwoo’s explanation continued, the corners of Hwangbo Gyeonwoo’s mouth gradually went up.
After hearing the explanation, the corners of Hwangbo Gyeonwoo’s mouth were hanging down to his ears.

Same time.
Hanbin, who was looking down at the Hwangbo family’s pavilion from the top of Garam Mountain on the border between Hebei and Shandong, tilted his head and scratched his ear.
“Who is talking about me?”
