Habuk Pengga Swordsman Genius - Chapter 462



Only Noblemtl

462. Pick it up in passing (1)

There were two things Hanbin had to deal with now.

One thing was the handling of the Jinsa Twin Swords.

The only thing left was where to use the reward I got this time, the extra bookshelf.

The addition of bookshelves can be used in the skill, application, or fusion sections.

The problem was that I didn’t know which of the three was most needed right now.

Hanbin decided to put this issue on hold for the time being.

Because it made sense to add more when the need arose.

After finishing his thoughts, Hanbin opened the box.

When I opened the box, a sword with a strangely curved shape was revealed.

They were the Red Sword and the Blue Sword.

Hanbin lifted the sword and glanced at it.

Then he opened a book.

Hanbin nodded after looking through the books.

The book that Hanbin was just looking at was none other than the rules of the Confucian Academy.

At that moment, Hanbin remembered Peng Kangwi’s request.

It was an order not to use force within the Yulim Seowon.

It’s not that they don’t teach martial arts at Confucian Academy, but it was only to the level of protecting one’s own body.

Hanbin also had a vague idea about the rules.

If force was used at Yulim Seowon, it would have easily escalated into a fight between families.

Although the martial arts world competes with each other under the pretext of being a martial artist, the Confucian Academy is fundamentally different.

It should be seen as a place to compete with tongues rather than a place to compete with swords.

Well, things may not be equal for everyone.

As is the case in the world of martial arts, there will be exceptions there too.

I heard that when a dispute arises at Yulim Seowon, it is handled in the form of proxy fighting rather than bloodshed between students.

There, no one except the escort warriors could carry weapons.

But it would be a waste to just leave the Red Death Twin Swords in storage, so there was only one way.

“Cheonghwa, this is called the Cheongsa Sword. Keep it for now.”

“Oh, Your Majesty, why are you giving me this… … .”

“This is one of the Jinsa Twin Swords, one of the Seven Great Treasures of the Murim. Who can I trust?”

“W-This is one of the Seven Great Treasures of the Martial Arts World? Why on earth did you give me this sword…?”

Cheonghwa trails off again.

Hanbin honestly couldn’t say that cadets at Yulim Seowon were prohibited from carrying military uniforms.

It was a thing that destroyed her emotions.

Cheonghwa accepted the Cheongsa sword without any further hesitation.

On the other side, Seolhwa was poking her head out.

It was like a baby bird waiting for its prey.

Hanbin looked at Seolhwa and handed her the Red Sword.

“If this was a white snake sword, it would have gone well with the story. What a pity. I will leave this to you, so keep it safe.”

“Yes, Your Majesty. Even if my life is cut short, I will protect this sword.”

Seol-hwa, smiling brightly, found something inside the carriage.

Seolhwa, who had been searching for a while, quickly placed a bundle on the seat next to her.

What came out of the bundle was a candy, a snack for Sulwha.

Seolhwa was a loyal child.

It contained not only his favorite sweets but also rice cakes.

Seolhwa picked up a piece of candy and looked at Hanbin.

“Your Majesty, would you like to eat?”

“Haha. It’s okay, Seolhwa.”

At that moment, Cheonghwa reached out and picked up a rice cake.

“Sister, the prince likes rice cakes better. Isn’t that right, prince?”

Candy and rice cakes flew in from both sides at once.

Hanbin felt that this was more difficult than choosing to add more books to the Yonglin Sword Technique.

This was a similar question to asking whether the father or the mother is better.

An hour after Hanbin left Habukpangga.

A large number of people moved away from Habukpengga.

They were none other than Gae-bok, Hao-mun, and Ami-baek-seon.

In addition, the Red Blood Tiger Corps, which had made great contributions and raised the status of the Habuk Pengga, returned to their base, Cheonsujang.

The guard looked at the empty Habukpengga ahead with a dejected expression as the tide receded.

Because it was lunchtime, he was the only warrior guarding the main gate.

Just a moment ago, the heroes of the world of martial arts were chatting away there.

But now, I couldn’t even hear the sound of cicadas.

An unfamiliar voice came into the ear of the security guard who was blankly staring ahead.

“Don’t you feel empty now that everyone is leaving?”

At that voice, the guard quickly stepped back, grabbed his sword, and took a guard stance.

For a moment, the guard warrior opened his eyes wide.

Because I saw plum blossoms fluttering in the wind.

Those weren’t real plum petals.

The sleeves of the opponent’s shirt, fluttering in the wind, were covered in plum blossom patterns.

The embroidery was so well done that it almost felt like there was a plum blossom scent in the air.

As the gentle breeze blew his bangs slightly, he grabbed them with his index and middle fingers and pushed them back as if using some noble technique.

The guard warrior shouted.

“It’s the plum blossom sunset of Hwasan! Oh, aren’t you the great warrior of the West?”

Plum blossom sunset was a well-known method of the Hwasanpa.

The man smiled brightly at the guard’s question.

“Fortunately, you noticed.”

He was none other than Seo Jae-oh.

Seo Jae-oh looked at the security guard with a satisfied expression.

The guard waved his hand at the sight.

“How do you not know about the Plum Blossom Sword Association? That is nonsense.”

The guard’s words were sincere.

Even if no one else knew, Seo Jae-oh of Plum Blossom Sword Association could not have been unaware.

During his stay in Habukpengga, he made so many noises that everyone from Musa to Sibi remembered his nickname.

For example, if you call him Daehyeop, he would wink and say, “I’m Plum Blossom Swordsman,” revealing his nickname.

But it wasn’t all that annoying, because if you just got in his mood, he’d just let you have his iron fists.

The guard at the door was also swallowing his saliva.

The security guard searched Seo Jae-oh from head to toe.

Then he opened his mouth with eyes filled with joy.

“Plum Blossom Sword Master, I wonder if my eyes are weird. There seem to be more plum blossom petals today.”

“Haha, you have a keen eye for detail.”

Seo Jae-oh smiled happily.

This was a plum blossom received in recognition of the merits of the Sacheondangga and Habuk.

Now there was no room left for the plum blossoms.

In fact, the Hwasan faction had decided to send a uniform with plum blossoms, but Seo Jae-oh strongly declined.

Instead, I added plum blossoms by hand from a famous store in Habuk.

The result was the plum blossom petals that now filled the sleeves.

“I’ve never seen so many plum blossoms before. If you can’t recognize them even when they’re right in front of you, you’re not human.”

“Hey, did you bring the patties?”

“that is…….”

The key was to slightly trail off.

If I had revealed my purpose blatantly, my previous words might have been buried.

As if the guard’s mind had been touched, Seo Jae-oh took out a pouch from his bosom.

In an instant, the security guard’s eyes widened.

What he was holding was not iron, but silver.

He swallowed dry saliva and waited for Eunjeon to come to him.

That was when.

The sound of rough horse hooves was heard from somewhere.

Ta-da-dak.

Ta-da-dak.

Looking closely, I could tell that it was a person, not a horse, judging by its size.

Someone was running towards the main gate of Habukpangga at incredible speed, raising a cloud of yellow dust.

An uninvited guest appears while Seo Jae-oh is holding silver coins and the guards are waiting with their necks stretched out.

The guard shouted with all his might without realizing it.

“What kind of person would act so rashly in front of the Plum Blossom Sword Association!”

The guard warrior who had been holding out his sword extended his hand backwards.

Then, he barely managed to grab the silver coin that Seo Jae-oh was holding.

The guard warrior who had the silver coin in his bosom gritted his teeth and guarded Seo Jae-oh.

The momentum with which they were running was unusual.

There was no one in the world right now who would dare to fight in front of Habukpangga.

But it was the guard’s mistake.

The monster approaching, raising a cloud of dust, did not slow down.

As the dust cloud drew closer, a tremendous momentum was felt.

The storm of that momentum engulfed the guard warrior.

The guard warrior was turned into a stone statue as if he had been subdued by the demonic spirit.

Then the dust cloud cleared and the man appeared.

His sleeve had a small Taegeuk symbol engraved on it.

Seo Jae-oh opened his eyes wide when he saw him.

“Elder at the gate, what brings you here?”

“I have come to find Prince Peng at the request of the executioner.”

Here, the death penalty at the gate refers to none other than the Taegeuk sword of the Mudang faction.

This is the Taegeuk Sword Master who taught the Taegeuk Chilseongbo to Hanbin.

There was only one thing that Taegeuk Sword Master asked of Hyeonmun.

To remain in Sacheondangga and not go anywhere else.

The hidden meaning was to help Hanbin interpret the seven steps left by Taegeuk Sword Master.

However, Hanbin tore off the seven steps in their entirety, loaded them onto a carriage, and left Sacheondangga.

After that, Taegeuk Sword Master, who had come to visit Sacheondangga, looked at Gangbuk in a daze.

As Hyunmun was briefly recalling the past, Seo Jae-oh spoke.

“Peng Gongzi has left.”

“Leaving? Then I guess I should go to a place called Cheonsujang.”

“The place where Prince Peng headed is not Cheonsujang.”

“Then where on earth is it?”

When Hyunmun urged him in a hurry, Seo Jae-oh quickly continued speaking.

“I left for Yulim Seowon. I left by carriage, so if I leave quickly, I’ll be able to catch up.”

“Hmm, can I ask you a favor? Seo Daehyeop.”

“I guess I… … .”

That was when.

Hyunmun suddenly clenched his fist.

In that moment, a joint-cracking sound like the sound of a wooden gong was heard from his fist.

Exactly. Exactly.

At the same time, Seo Jae-oh’s expression hardened.

“Oh, I understand. Sir, I will take care of it.”

“Then let’s go.”

After finishing speaking, Hyeonmun pointed ahead with his hand.

At the same time, Seo Jae-oh ran forward like the wind.

It is only natural that the main gate follows behind.

Only then did the stiff body of the guard warrior loosen up.

He quickly checked the silver coins in his hand.

“Thank you, Plum Sword… … .”

The guard was speechless.

Clearly, what Seo Jae-oh was holding was silver coins.

But what he had in his hand was an iron sword.

The guard warrior who was staring blankly at the iron gate opened his mouth. He had no idea that while he was guarding ahead, Seo Jae-oh had switched the silver coin with the iron coin.

That’s what it meant to be rich.

Even when giving, you should not spend money beyond the limit.

That was the education that Seo Jae-oh, the successor to the Man-geum battlefield, had received since he was young.

Now, in addition to the education, I also realized the importance of the contract.

* * *

A week later.

The carriage was running along the dirt road, drawing a cool, large circle.

A footpath is a road built on the side of a mountain because it is difficult to make a road on a high mountain.

In fact, it can be said that the development of the Central Plains went hand in hand with Zando.

The development of the port was a driving force that enabled the smooth movement of goods in each region.

However, the source of energy, Zando, was actually a product of war.

A road built to transport supplies for killing people.

But in times of peace like now, people were able to eat and live thanks to this porridge.

Clunk, clunk.

Why is the sound of a carriage passing over the sand dunes so loud today?

Of course, this was Sulwha’s idea.

Seolhwa quietly looked outside the carriage.

Martial arts weren’t the only thing that Seolhwa developed while hanging out with Hanbin.

The unique sense of killing had also developed several times more than before.

That story made me feel ominous as I looked outside.

At that moment, Hanbin spoke quietly.

“The scent of blood is flowing from somewhere.”
