Habuk Pengga Swordsman Genius - Chapter 488



Only Noblemtl

488. Genius and Hard Worker (3)

At his words, the rest of the students left like an ebb tide.

Now only Yang Seok-bong and Peng Han-bin remained in the classroom.

Jang Yu-jung looked at the two and continued speaking.

“Do you know why I told you two to stay?”

“… … .”

Neither Hanbin nor Yang Seokbong answered.

Jang Yu-jung smiled at that sight.

“When I came to this temple, I kept the saying, ‘I will not pass on my knowledge to anyone else.’ I decided that I will not pass on my knowledge to anyone else. So from today, I will only pass on my knowledge to you two.”

“… … .”

Yang Seok-bong furrowed his eyebrows without saying anything.

I couldn’t figure out what kind of nonsense this was.

Yang Seok-bong also knew that Jang Yu-jung valued the non-human factor.

The problem was that Jang Yoo-jung didn’t know why he was talking about the inability to provoke a person’s infertility now.

When he sent everyone away and left only the two of them, he thought he would be reprimanded.

So I was really nervous, and you’re only teaching the two of us?

Yang Seok-bong couldn’t understand.

Jang Yu-jung, who saw his expression, smiled neatly with his white beard.

“You don’t seem to know what I mean.”

“Yes, I’m sorry, but my knowledge is limited and I couldn’t understand.”

“Yeah, you must be wondering why I’m saying this now. Come out here for a moment.”

“yes?”

“I don’t mean to scold you, so come out and see for yourself.”

“All right.”

Yang Seok-bong got up from his seat.

Hanbin, who was standing next to him, also noticed and stood next to him.

“I checked the students’ character outside.”

“What do you mean by our character?”

“Wasn’t it student Choi Yu-ji who got the clue to the answer?”

“… … .”

Yang Seok-bong looked blankly at Jang Yu-jung as if he had been hit.

Why do I feel a chill down my spine for a moment?

Until now, Jang Yu-jung had only appeared as a big-headed scholar.

But I couldn’t help but get goosebumps thinking that he was watching everything in the palm of his hand.

Jang Yu-jung smiled with satisfaction at that sight and continued speaking.

“Probably, Choi Yu-ji and the rest of the students shared the same opinion.”

“… … .”

Yang Seok-bong couldn’t answer.

Jang Yu-jung saw through everything.

then?

It was clear that everyone knew that he had sold the clue to Choi Yu-ji for money.

If Jang Yoo-jung knew all the facts, then what happened next was obvious.

As Yang Seok-bong swallowed his saliva as if he was nervous, Jang Yu-jung smiled.

“What are you so nervous about?”

“Oh, it’s nothing.”

“I can tell from the way you stutter that you know what you did wrong.”

“Yes, I know.”

“Then tell me yourself. Tell me what was wrong with you.”

“That, that is… … .”

Yang Seok-bong stuttered slightly.

I didn’t know where to start.

If I were to tell everything, I would have to reveal even the details of my contract with Hanbin.

Jang Yu-jung smiled when he saw Yang Seok-bong’s embarrassed expression.

“It’s okay now. I know that what you did was wrong, but I also know that you had no other choice.”

“Oh my, how did you know that? Ha, Dean.”

“My eyes have grown old and can no longer see even an inch ahead, but my heart can see a thousand miles ahead.”

Jang Yu-jung smiling secretly.

The goosebumps that had grown on Yang Seok-bong’s back rose to his head.

If you listen to Jang Yu-jung’s story now, you will see through the whole situation perfectly.

Although he tried to reassure them by saying that it was a case of incompetence or something, it was clear that Jang Yu-jung was trying to reprimand himself and Han Bin.

To be seen as wrong to him means that his path to public office is blocked.

Where on earth did it go wrong?

I thought it was probably the moment I met Hanbin at Manhyanggak.

Yang Seok-bong bit his lips and closed his eyes.

For a moment, I felt a warm hand on his shoulder.

When I opened my eyes briefly, I saw Jang Yu-jung smiling even brighter than before.

Yang Seok-bong thought it was like the smile of a policeman who had discovered the culprit.

At that moment, Jang Yu-jung’s mouth opened.

“I saw everyone bullying Confucian scholar Peng Hanbin. You were the only one who did not agree with their wicked behavior.”

“yes?”

“I also saw them extorting money and valuables from the scholar Peng Hanbin. You were the only one who did not go along with it.”

“… … .”

Yang Seok-bong turned his head and glanced at Han Bin without saying anything.

Hanbin, whose eyes met mine, nodded with a kind face.

Yang Seok-bong took a deep breath and calmed his mind.

Suddenly I felt dizzy.

This was a story far beyond what he had expected.

Jang Yu-jung was saying the exact opposite of reality.

Yang Seok-bong, who had calmed down, looked at Jang Yu-jung with a look of pity.

Yang Seok-bong thought that Jang Yu-jung must have been mistaken about something because he was getting older.

Then Jang Yu-jung continued speaking.

“It is a sin not to step forward when everyone is pushing one into a corner, but I thought it was commendable not to go along with it. And there is one more thing to praise.”

“What, what is that?”

“Among the students who entered Yulim Seowon, your residence was the only one where the lamp was lit all night long.”

“that…….”

Yang Seok-bong trailed off.

There was only one reason why the lanterns were lit until dawn.

This is because Hanbin went back and got acupuncture points after giving a clue to the problem.

Because I was given a blood transfusion to make sure I got enough sleep, I had to lie face down on the table without even being able to turn off the light.

Yang Seok-bong couldn’t help but grit his teeth whenever he thought about that incident.

But you caught Jang Yu-jung’s eye because of that!

This was ridiculous.

However, the situation was not favorable for confessing everything now.

Yang Seok-bong’s eyes wavered again.

Judging from the way he checked on the students at dawn, he didn’t seem to be mentally unstable.

Jang Yu-jung continued speaking after seeing Yang Seok-bong’s bewildered expression.

“You don’t have to say anything. You tried to make up for your lack of talent with effort. Isn’t that right?”

“… … .”

Yang Seok-bong was speechless again.

Because Anhui’s best talent suddenly turned into a talent that was lacking.

Well, that’s how it might have seemed to Jang Yu-jung, the greatest scholar.

Suddenly, I felt as if my flesh was being torn off.

At that sight, Jang Yu-jung continued speaking.

“I think that with that level of effort, even if you lack talent, you’re more than enough to be promoted. Perhaps you don’t understand the meaning of my lessons… … .”

“Well, I don’t know.”

I knew the truth, but I couldn’t say I knew it here.

Jang Yu-jung’s satisfied smile continued at Yang Seok-bong’s answer.

“Among those who passed my class, there was no one who was pushed out of the court. No, there was no one who failed to obtain an official position.”

“omg.”

Yang Seok-bong opened his mouth wide as if his jaw would fall off.

It was well known that if you caught Jang Yu-jung’s eye, your path to success was guaranteed.

But it was the first time I heard that just listening to this class till the end would open the way to success.

Jang Yu-jung looked at Han Bin, leaving the surprised Yang Seok-bong behind.

But Hanbin just stared into space.

The reason Hanbin was staring into space was simple.

[Deepening]

[… … ]

[Wisdom: One]

The most recently acquired gem among the advanced ones was shining.

For a moment, the Earth’s crust was growing in real time.

[Wisdom: Three]

When I blinked again, the numbers on the ball changed.

[Wisdom: Nine]

The number that was finally confirmed was nine.

then?

Has Hanbin’s wisdom increased ninefold compared to before?

This is what Hanbin was most curious about right now.

That curiosity was immediately resolved.

As his knowledge increased, Hanbin was able to objectively evaluate his own condition.

To conclude, it was not as much of a change as when the ‘Ji’ knot was first activated.

But there was a slight change, a clearer mind.

This knot was obtained by forcing the Confucian scholars to bow down with their heads.

Nothing has been more effective in bringing about submission than a contract.

Thinking about it, it seems that it was easy to activate ‘Ji’s’ seal because I had already written a contract with Yang Seok-bong.

One decision took hold in Hanbin’s mind.

The pledge was to fill the void of ‘Ji’ as much as possible here.

Where in the world is there a better place to gain wisdom than here at Yulim Seowon?

Wisdom was sure to be an essential tool in any confrontation with the strong.

At that moment, Jang Yu-jung’s voice pierced my ears.

“You look like a god.”

“No, Dean.”

Hanbin shook his head with a kind face.

Well, I wasn’t particularly impressed since I had heard it so many times.

Hanbin also acknowledged that the sight of him looking into the empty space and confirming the Yonglin Sword Technique resembled the appearance of a god.

Jang Yu-jung approached Han Bin.

Jang Yu-joong opened his mouth while patting Han-bin’s shoulder.

“Why are you hiding your abilities?”

“What kind of abilities do you think I have?”

“In my opinion, you will be the greatest genius that Yulim Seowon will produce.”

“yes?”

“Actually, this problem wasn’t put out there for you to solve. It was just put out there for you to know your own level.”

“… … .”

Hanbin did not answer and focused his efforts on controlling his facial expression.

Of course, I knew the general situation.

But it seemed too obvious to say that I knew everything.

“But you solved that problem.”

“I was just lucky.”

Jang Yu-joong smiled as he saw Han-bin calmly accepting the situation.

“You might be wondering at this point… … .”

Jang Yu-jung took a moment to catch his breath and look around.

The place where the students left was empty.

Jang Yu-jung, who had checked the empty seat, continued speaking.

“You must be wondering why they gave them the award, knowing everything.”

“… … .”

Hanbin stared blankly at Jang Yu-jung.

Actually, I wasn’t curious.

The Seonmyodo that Choi Yu-ji received was going to become Hanbin’s anyway.

According to the contract, anything they got had to belong to Hanbin.

In some ways, it was a more vicious contract than the one Yang Seok-bong made with Han Bin.

Yang Seok-bong continued speaking after seeing Han-bin’s expression.

“You have only one weakness.”

“My weakness?”

When Hanbin was embarrassed for the first time, Jang Yu-jung said.

“Your weakness is that you are too pure.”

At that moment, a scream erupted from behind.

“omg.”

The owner of that scream was none other than Yang Seok-bong.

Jang Yu-jung smiled with a kind face.

“I can see from your surprised expression that you are surprised that I saw through all the situations. Aren’t you curious about how I know this situation in such detail? Come here.”

Jang Yu-jung walked toward the podium and gestured.

Yang Seok-bong pointed to the back of the podium.

There was a folding screen hanging there.

The scroll depicts a vivid image of an eagle flying in the sky.

Jang Yu-jung, who had gone to the front of the folding chair, pointed somewhere with the tip of his finger.

What he was pointing at was a falcon floating in the sky.

“Look this way carefully.”

“Isn’t that a hawk?”

When Yang Seok-bong tilted his head, Jang Yu-jung said.

“Look at the eyes, not the eyes of the eagle.”

At Jang Yu-jung’s words, Yang Seok-bong narrowed his eyes.

Yang Seok-bong, who had been observing for a while, opened his mouth.

“W, what the heck is this… … .”

There was one reason why he couldn’t continue speaking.

There were tiny holes in each eye.
