Habuk Pengga Swordsman Genius - Chapter 480



Only Noblemtl

480. The genius Confucian scholar of Yulim Seowon (3)

Other students also joined the conversation with shining eyes.

“Yeah, I heard it from the graduates here too.”

“If there is no fight for rank, how can I study when I am bored?”

What they said was true.

Although it is not the first lecture, the first week is the beginning of a battle for ranking among the high and low academics.

Through this, you form relationships with factions.

“Who are you going to bet on?”

“Of course I should bet on Choi Yu-saeng. Are you going to bet on a Yu-saeng you’re meeting for the first time?”

“Hey kid, who are you looking at?”

As everyone tilted their heads, one of the students started to stir around the classroom with a brush and handle.

Whenever the scholar passed by, everyone revealed their names and bet money.

They were students who put money on the line before even making a bet.

This was a joy to them.

What fun can there be for them who always have to wrestle with books?

In the morning, I had to learn from my teacher, and at night, under the lamplight, I had to remember everything I had learned that day.

Because of this, the world they lived in was like the inside of a well.

In a way, they were frogs in the well.

Even these small bets were a new world to them.

The fun was short-lived, as someone tilted their head.

“So does that mean no one is betting on that student?”

“Then you get back the same amount of money you paid.”

“Is this not even worth betting on?”

It was when everyone was shaking their heads.

Someone was walking into the classroom.

For a moment they held their breath.

The person who just entered the classroom was a student who was neatly writing his academic papers.

The problem is that the bachelor was a woman.

Judging from his attire, he was clearly an instructor at Yulim Seowon.

As the woman approached, someone whispered in a small voice.

“There are no female instructors at Yulim Seowon.”

“yes.”

The other students also nodded.

It was just as they said.

I haven’t heard of any female scholars at Yulim Seowon recently.

Everyone swallowed dry saliva and looked at the woman.

At that time, the woman quietly stood in front of the scholar who was managing the money.

The scholar, who was holding a sack containing the ledger and the money, looked at the woman pitifully, like a mouse that had been drenched in rain.

It was clear that if he got caught betting here, it would affect his performance.

He swallowed dryly and quietly put his hands behind his back.

Then the woman grabbed his wrist.

“stop!”

At that sound, the student quickly lowered his head.

“I’m sorry, sir. I had nothing to do with the bet… .”

“What did anyone say about making a bet?”

“yes?”

“I want to join too.”

“yes?”

The student couldn’t move and kept asking the same question.

At that sight, the woman put her hand into her bosom.

What came out of the woman’s hand was silver.

She said, emptying the coins into the bag.

“I bet on that scholar.”

When the woman pointed at Hanbin with her finger, the students started to murmur.

“Who is that person?”

“That’s what I mean,”

“You must be one of the instructors… … .”

“Could that be the new instructor that Dean Jang Yu-jung mentioned?”

“That’s right, now that you mention it… … .”

“But what is that debt he’s carrying? It’s a bit unusual.”

“That’s the Hak-u-seon. It’s out of style these days, so other families don’t use it anymore, and only the people of the Jegal family use it… … .”

The crane fan was a fan that became famous thanks to Zhuge Liang. Thanks to this, it was rumored in the Central Plains that the members of the Zhuge Liang family carried crane fans regardless of the fashion.

“Zhuge Liang?”

For a moment, everyone stared at the woman without even breathing.

The Jegal family is a family that exists between the government and the martial arts world.

Zhuge Liang entered government service and dominated central politics, but when the time came, he retired and raised future generations.

When he retired from politics, he always took on a role in one of the powerful factions.

In the eyes of the Confucian scholars, these actions of Zhuge Shiga seemed mysterious.

The reason they stared at the woman without even breathing was not only because she was from the Zhuge Liang clan.

The fact that the Zhuge family came to Yulin Seowon meant that the Zhuge family was returning to politics.

No one cared who she bet on.

As everyone’s eyes turned to one place, the woman smiled faintly.

“Everyone, relax. I am Zhuge Liang, a temporary instructor at Yulim Seowon this semester. I will only be teaching this semester and then I will go back, so don’t be so nervous.”

Everyone turned their heads at her words.

That’s because the words I just said were not ones that could have come out without seeing through everyone’s hearts.

She told them to relax, but no one moved.

At that time, Zhuge Li continued speaking.

“What are you doing? You have to finish what you were doing.”

Zhuge Liang let go of the wrist of the scholar who was managing the money.

The student stepped back hesitantly and began to collect the remaining stakes.

As the commotion died down, Hanbin sighed inwardly.

Why on earth did Zhuge Li come here?

if…….

As an ominous feeling began to creep up on him, Hanbin shook his head slightly.

Hanbin’s premonition was exactly what Zhuge Li had said in the Sichuan Tang Dynasty.

Zhuge Liang said that he would repay the favor as soon as possible.

Not only her, but other members of the Zhuge family also promised to repay Han Bin’s kindness.

Hanbin was satisfied with the fact that he had developed a strong relationship with one of the three teenagers.

I promised them that I would use the debt I owe them later on.

But for some reason, it seemed like the reason Zhuge Li came here now was because of Han Bin.

Even if he were to repay the favor, that wasn’t really what Hanbin wanted.

Hanbin’s goal was to gather information carefully and then leave after emptying Cheon Soo-hyeon’s armor.

But the character of Jegal Se-ga is holding on?

On the contrary, it could have been something that held Hanbin back.

Choi Yu-ji smiled brightly after seeing Hanbin’s expression.

He said he wanted money, but to Choi Yu-ji, it was nothing more than a bluff.

Because if he wasn’t bragging, he wouldn’t be able to make such a bad expression.

Choi Yu-ji took out the pouch from her bosom.

He raised his hand and waved the sack to everyone.

Everyone cheered at the sight of the sack that looked quite heavy.

“Oh!”

“Wow.”

Choi Yu-ji smiled brightly at the cheers and placed the envelope on the desk.

widely!

As a heavy sound echoed across the desk, Choi Yu-ji continued speaking.

“Is this enough?”

“Hmm, this is different from what I thought… … .”

Hanbin, whose voice trailed off slightly, began to search through his arms.

People could barely contain their laughter.

The Shanxi Choi clan was a family that could not be ignored not only in terms of scholarship but also in terms of wealth.

It was when everyone was looking at Hanbin with a blank expression.

Hanbin placed the bag containing the night liquor on the table.

Everyone shook their heads at Hanbin’s pockets, which looked lighter than Choi Yu-ji’s.

Because I thought the fight was already decided.

Hanbin nodded and signaled for people to check their pockets.

Choi Yu-ji had no choice but to examine the sack.

Choi Yu-ji’s eyes harden for a moment.

Inside the bag was a precious pearl that was incomparable to his own pouch.

Yang Seok-bong looked at the sight and felt bitter.

Everything was exactly like what had happened to him two days ago.

However, this time, the difference was that the outcome was unpredictable.

Yang Seok-bong walked quietly toward the entrance.

Then the bell rang, indicating that half an hour had passed.

Ding. Ding.

Yang Seok-bong quickly left the classroom.

The conditions for the bet had not yet been established.

Except for himself, no one seemed to be thinking of leaving the classroom.

This was the opportunity.

The winner of this test had to be me.

To achieve the goal, one must go through all means possible.

There’s a saying that goes, “Even the worm gets its share from the early bird.”

Yang Seok-bong quickly started running to find the hidden letters.

But Yang Seok-bong, who came out, stopped walking immediately.

No matter how much I thought about it, there were no clues to solving Jang Yu-jung’s problem.

I came out in a hurry, but not a single stroke was a clue.

Yang Seok-bong unconsciously grabbed his head.

“Oh, how did I… … .”

While he was absentmindedly staring, he began to hear noises coming from behind him.

Looking back, I saw Choi Yu-ji walking towards me with a big smile.

But Hanbin was nowhere to be seen.

Yang Seok-bong pretended not to know and approached Choi Yu-ji and asked her.

“What happened to the student you bet with?”

“You seem to have lost your mind and are staying in the classroom the whole time. I guess it’s too much.”

For a moment, Yang Seok-bong thought that Choi Yu-ji had been tricked by Han Bin.

Everything was exactly like himself.

Yang Seok-bong was barely able to hold back his laughter when Choi Yu-ji continued speaking.

“When I told him my plan, he had this blank expression on his face… … .”

Choi Yu-ji’s cheeks were twitching at the thought of something funny.

Yang Seok-bong asked urgently at that sight.

“What is a plan?”

“I’m not trying to argue with him.”

“hmm.”

“Do you think you can solve this problem by yourself?”

“What are you going to do if you can’t solve it by yourself?”

“I will receive help from my colleagues here. The night liquor that he offered earlier was so expensive that I would have to sell all my land. How can I fight with only my head when such a large sum of money is at stake?”

“Then what are you going to do?”

“I will hire my colleagues here. If I can get the students to help me solve this problem, won’t that be enough? I said I hid it in the academy, so if there are many hands, the problem will be solved quickly.”

“her.”

Yang Seok-bong opened his mouth.

He was proud of his bet with Hanbin.

However, Choi Yu-ji did not underestimate her opponent and was giving it her all.

There’s a saying that even when a tiger catches a rabbit, it uses all its might.

Yang Seok-bong chastised himself for underestimating his opponent.

* * *

Meanwhile, in the empty classroom, only Hanbin and Zhuge Li were left.

Zhuge Li, who had been watching silently for a long time, opened his mouth with a smile.

“Prince Peng, it’s been a while.”

“How have you been? Sister Jegal. No, should I call you Instructor now?”

“Haha, it sounds better when you call me ‘big sister.’”

“Is your Majesty the Jegal family okay?”

“I am currently in the closed space to organize the small enlightenment I have gained thanks to Peng Gongzi.”

“This is something to be congratulated on.”

“It’s all thanks to Confucius Peng. That’s why I volunteered to be a lecturer at Confucius Academy to help Confucius.”

“omg.”

Hanbin opened his mouth wide.

Ominous feelings usually come true about ten percent of the time.

Zhuge Liang chuckled at the sight.

“It’s surprising that Prince Peng, who saved Kang-ho, has such an expression on his face. But why doesn’t he go outside? Everyone went outside to find clues.”

“If it was a clue that I had to go out and find now, would Dean Jang Yu-jung have made it a problem?”

“You were trying to go out earlier.”

“You watched it all.”

“Yes, I was curious so I was watching from outside.”

As Zhuge Li smiled, Han Bin smiled awkwardly and continued speaking.

“I was hungry so I wanted to go to a restaurant quickly.”

“Are you hungry?”

“I’m hungry too, but those kids… … .”

Hanbin pointed outside the classroom.

There, Seol-hwa and Cheong-hwa were shining their eyes, wondering when they would come.

At that moment, Zhuge Li ran towards them in one stride.
