Habuk Pengga Swordsman Genius - Chapter 27



Only Noblemtl

Episode 27. To be eaten or to be eaten (1)

Mrs. Jeonghwa looked at the orchid again.

There are four direct descendants of Habukpengga.

But why are there more numbers in the orchid?

The reason was surprisingly simple. The things she wanted included not only the Habuk Peng family, but also her maternal home, the Hanam Jeong family.

Among the direct descendants of Habuk, the only ones left intact are Lee (二) and Sam (三).

Although this Confucius and the third Confucius were her own children, the gaze of Lady Jeonghwa looking at the rebellion was not very favorable.

This was because she felt that neither of her sons were enough to satisfy her ambitions.

It was when Madam Jeonghwa was admiring the orchid she had planted.

She wiggled her eyebrows.

Hands outstretched at the same time.

Whoosh.

The brush cut through the air and headed toward the window.

The brush that passed through the crack of the door hit something.

puck.

Mrs. Jeong-hwa quickly ran and opened the window.

There was a broom lying there.

It looked like it had been cleaned during the day and placed next to me.

“I’ve been feeling a bit sensitive lately. Phew, the cold air isn’t good for your skin.”

Mrs. Jeong-hwa sighed and closed the window.

widely.

The window is rattling, as if I closed it too hard.

That spoke volumes about Mrs. Jeonghwa’s feelings these days.

The youngest prince, who appeared out of nowhere, was getting on Lady Jeonghwa’s nerves.

* * *

The black shadow beneath the trembling window disappeared.

The disappeared shadow entered the bamboo forest and took off its mask.

The face that was revealed was none other than Hanbin.

Hanbin said grumblingly.

“Wow, it’s brutal.”

Hanbin quietly took off his night clothes, put them in his bag, and looked towards Madam Jeonghwa’s quarters.

Today, I confirmed that I was on the list of contenders that Madam Jeonghwa thought of.

“Should I like this? Well, it’s an honor.”

According to memories from a previous life, the downfall of the Habukpeng family began with Madame Jeonghwa.

In Hanbin’s eyes, she was a snake hiding in a pack of tigers.

A snake is a snake after all.

She was close to a thousand-year-old snake.

However, there is no way that an Imoogi can defeat a dragon.

Hanbin, who had resolved to become a dragon and fly through the sky, clenched his fists.

It was now time for Hanbin to raise his sword.

For a moment, Hanbin erased his expression as if nothing had happened and headed to his quarters.

When Hanbin arrived at the residence, a crowbar suddenly appeared in front of him.

“Confucius!”

“Ah, Cheolno. You surprised me.”

“Didn’t the doctor tell you not to move for a week? Where have you been?”

“My throat hurts because I’m still.”

“Today is the day you fought with five swordsmen and Miss Musoyul of the Musi Sword Family. Why do you feel a little uneasy?”

“I feel like I’ll get sick if I lie down.”

Cheolno looked at Hanbin as if he couldn’t believe it.

For a moment, he narrowed his eyes.

“Confucius, why are you doing this here?”

Cheolno wiped Hanbin’s cheek with his sleeve.

Blood seeping out on the sleeve of the iron sword.

It seemed like he had been hurt a little while ago. Hanbin smiled shyly without being flustered.

“I think I scratched the tree without realizing it.”

“If you keep getting hurt… … .”

As Cheol-no’s eyes began to moisten again, Han-bin blocked them with both hands.

“Okay, Cheolno. You won’t get hurt anymore.”

It seemed that Cheolno couldn’t believe that Hanbin’s martial arts skills had improved.

Hanbin finished speaking and ran ahead.

For a moment, Hanbin, who was walking ahead, tilted his head.

“But why isn’t Cheolno sleeping?”

“It’s so noisy that I can’t sleep?”

As Cheolno sighed, Hanbin tilted his head.

“It’s noisy?”

“I can’t sleep at all because the sound of weapons clashing in the training ground is still ringing.”

Hanbin narrowed his eyes at Arisonghan Cheolno’s words.

“What are you talking about?”

“Are you asking because you don’t know? I’m making noise because of my training in the Guardian Corps.”

Just then, a sound of metal clashing was heard from afar.

Brim. Brim.

What Cheolno said was true.

Hanbin turned and headed towards the training ground.

There were torches lined up neatly, and in the center were the warriors of the Guardians swinging their swords.

Hanbin, who had been looking at her as if he was proud, slowly walked away.

So Dae-seop sensed Han Bin’s presence and ran towards him.

“Are you here, my lord?”

Hanbin smiled brightly at each of So Dae-seop’s caught tickets.

“Why is everyone pushing themselves so hard?”

“I couldn’t sleep because I was so impressed by the lord’s secret mission today, so I came out like this.”

So Dae-seop said with a serious expression.

Hanbin looked around.

The rest of them are also looking at Hanbin with expressions as serious as So Dae-seop.

Could it be because of the flickering torches?

It was as if I could feel the warmth of his heart.

Hanbin said to Sodaeseop.

“Even if you like training, take care of your body. If you do that, you won’t be able to recover your initial investment.”

“No. My heart beats faster when I see my lord’s deeds.”

Looking at So Dae-seop, who had his eyes filled with strength, Han-bin felt sincerity, but waved his hand.

“Sir, what’s wrong? Stop doing things you’ve never done before and go to sleep. As the old saying goes, if you do things you’ve never done before, you’ll die young.”

“No, my lord! Even if I die, I want to become stronger. Please help me. I would like to ask you for the secret to becoming strong in such a short period of time. Of course, you will not teach us such a secret. However… … .”

So Dae-seop felt ashamed of what he had said, so he couldn’t finish his sentence and instead gave the winning ticket.

At the same time, the warriors behind him made the same movements towards Hanbin.

It was clear that it was not just So Dae-seop’s intention.

Hanbin asked with a serious expression at that sight.

“Do you want to become stronger? Well, it’s not hard to teach you.”

“yes?”

So Dae-seop’s eyes widened. At the same time, the warriors lined up behind him had shining eyes.

Hanbin, whose gaze was focused on one place, asked again.

“Are you serious about what you just said, sir?”

“Yes, I really do. I want to become stronger.”

“No, not that. I mean what you said before, ‘even if I die.’”

“… … .”

So Dae-seop couldn’t answer right away. For some reason, he felt a chill from Han Bin’s tone of voice.

So Dae-seop, who looked into Hanbin’s clear eyes for a moment, made up his mind.

“Yes, it’s true. I don’t want to live in a sewer where I can’t even move and disappear if a master steps on me. Please.”

So Dae-seop gritted his teeth.

What So Dae-seop said just now was sincere.

Of course, he didn’t know that with this request, he would end up like a moth flying towards a flame.

Hanbin’s expression changed in an instant at his words.

Hanbin’s face was like ice reflecting sunlight.

It was an expression that was cold yet warm.

Hanbin looked at So Dae-seop, who had been given the lottery, without saying anything.

So Dae-seop was still bowing without releasing the lottery ticket.

They were treating Hanbin the same way they treated their master.

Until this morning, So Dae-seop and the Suho Squad did not trust Han Bin.

However, their hearts changed when they saw Hanbin receiving the swords of the five swordsmen.

In the eyes of So Dae-seop and the Guardians, Han Bin’s inaction was not absolute. However, what was important was Han Bin’s ability that had improved in a short period of time.

They believed that Hanbin had a secret.

In addition, Hanbin’s tenacity in holding on without collapsing despite being on the verge of collapse also played a part in lighting a fire in their hearts.

What if you could develop in a short period of time like Hanbin?

The hearts of So Dae-seop and the rest of the men were pounding with anticipation. Right now, they were ready to follow Han Bin’s orders, as long as they didn’t say die.

While everyone was playing cards under the moonlight, Hanbin pulled out the moon-ah on his waist.

“If you want to learn how to become strong, take up your sword!”

There was no answer. Instead, knives were raised here and there.

Wham!

Perhaps because of the sword bathed in moonlight, the smokescreen looked brighter than ever.

Hanbin slowly walked to the center and made eye contact with each warrior.

Hanbin shouted after confirming their will.

“I will now teach you the rules of fighting.”

Shouts ringing out at the same time.

“and!”

They didn’t know that it was the beginning of trouble.

Hanbin muttered to himself.

“You all are like moths to a flame.”

This was Hanbin’s true heart.

Those who couldn’t control their overwhelming emotions and jumped in were like moths flying toward a candle flame.

It was up to them whether they would become a phoenix or a moth.

They want power and Hanbin must sharpen his sword.

Hanbin looked at Cheolno with a pleasant smile.

“Cheolno, bring me some writing brush and ink.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

Cheolno ran to his quarters and brought some writing brush and ink.

Cheolno arrived in the blink of an eye and spread out the paper in front of Hanbin.

Chorus.

Hanbin, who saw the iron oar starting to grind food right away, picked up the brush.

The ink that passed over the Korean paper under the moonlight gave the illusion of a flower snake passing by.

Swish swish.

As Hanbin’s brush glided across the paper, the guardian deity swallowed his saliva.

When everyone was craning their necks and shaking their heads, Hanbin stopped writing and stood up.

“Those who wish to become stronger, come forward one by one.”

The warriors looked at each other at the unexpected words.

The first to come out was Joho, the youngest of the Guardians.

Joho stood in front of Hanbin, calming his racing heart.

Hanbin handed him a piece of paper.

Joho looked at the writing on the paper.

Because Jo Ho-i couldn’t read the Thousand Character Classic, the letters under the moonlight on a dark night looked like ink.

Joho asked.

“My lord, what is it about?”

“It says that you entrust your lives to me.”

“hmm.”

Joho let out a low groan.

Even though he said he was risking his life, he suddenly became nervous when he was presented with the document like this.

Then Hanbin said.

“The contents of this contract contain Confucian ideas.”

Clearly, the contents of the contract contained phrases that were often heard in private schools.

The contract began like this:

[The Lord of the Body, Hair, and Skin… … ]

At first glance, it seems like a passage from the Book of Filial Piety, but later on, the parents are changed to lords.

In fact, this was more like a body renunciation document.

No matter how much they want to practice, if there is a whip there must also be a carrot.

Hanbin, who was continuing his explanation, took out a pouch from his bosom and looked at everyone.

“Instead of giving up your lives, I promise you one nyang of silver as a participation incentive, and if you pass the training, I promise you ten nyang of silver.”

Hanbin opened the front pocket.

For a moment, countless silver coins were revealed and sparkled in the moonlight.

The warriors’ hearts resonated with that sparkle.

thud!

thud!

Joho, who had been hesitating, snatched the brush from Cheolno as if he was under a spell.

“May I sign here, my lord?”

“… … .”

Hanbin smiled and pointed to the space below the contract.

Swish swish.

Joho quickly signed, fearing that his brush would be snatched away.

Starting with Joho, the members of the Guardians rushed forward.

“I come first.”

“I told you I was first in line.”

“No, I’ve been standing in the front row for a while now.”

In the blink of an eye, all the members of the Guardians signed, and Hanbin stood up, clutching the contract.

As everyone waited for Hanbin to speak next, he continued with a serious expression.

“Let me tell you the first way to become stronger.”

“… … .”

Joho, the youngest in line at the back, said nothing and his eyes shone like the full moon.

The same goes for the rest of the warriors.

Hanbin looked at them, thinking that now was the time.
