Habuk Pengga Swordsman Genius - Chapter 490



Only Noblemtl

490. Genius and Hard Worker (5)

Yang Seok-bong was proud to say that he knew more about Yulim Seowon than anyone else.

But how could someone from the Murim world know the Confucian Academy better than he does?

Yang Seok-bong felt curious, but strangely, a sense of competition blossomed in his heart.

In fact, this kind of competition was a first for me.

Yang Seok-bong was the best in Anhui and was always confident that he would be the best here too.

But before even crossing the threshold of Yulim Seowon, all expectations were shattered.

Yang Seok-bong thought that all of this was part of his opponent’s scheme.

But today I saw that it wasn’t that.

He had a feeling that the four princes of Habukpengga were secretly looking after him.

I had to grit my teeth when I was forced to sleep on the table with the lamp on all night after suppressing the transfusion.

But today I saw that it wasn’t because he was ignoring me, but rather because he was trying to catch Dean Jang Yu-jung’s eye.

Yang Seok-bong had never been cared for like this before, even though he had taken care of someone before.

That was when.

Yang Seok-bong opened his eyes wide.

While I was lost in thought, I realized that Hanbin and his group were moving further and further away.

Yang Seok-bong followed Han-bin, who was moving away, in a hurry.

“Let’s go together.”

* * *

Hanbin’s place after work.

Hanbin was lost in thought, his chin resting on his hand.

A letter was spread out in front of him.

“Be careful?”

The letter came from Zhuge Liang.

There were only a few characters written on the letter.

[Personnel Alert]

The term ‘level warning’ sent by Zhuge Liangmin was a term used by the Justice League.

When the Justice League detects danger, it sends out an alert to the area.

Here, an emergency alert was a warning of a threat that could be life-threatening.

Local risks are expressed in human-level, while national risks are expressed in thousand-level.

Of course, he remains silent on incidents that have nothing to do with the Justice League.

The reason for sending the warning seemed to be because Hanbin was considered a member of the Justice Alliance.

Hanbin quietly got up from his seat, opened the window, and looked outside.

In fact, there aren’t many places as comfortable as this one.

This is where the power of the palace reaches.

No martial arts group could enter this place.

But is it a human-level warning?

Hanbin didn’t understand this warning itself.

If it were Zhuge Liang, a soldier of the Righteous Alliance, he would not have sent such a letter in vain.

What kind of intelligence did you obtain?

Hanbin was on edge after receiving this letter.

In fact, the reason Seolhwa, Cheonghwa, and Sogun took turns standing guard while lighting lanterns was because of this letter.

The reason I lit a lantern in Yang Seok-bong’s room was also because of this letter.

I thought that if there were a room with lights on everywhere, the chances of what I was worried about happening would decrease.

But unexpectedly, Yang Seok-bong, Seol-hwa, Cheong-hwa, and So-gun caught Jang Yu-jung’s eye one after another.

Although it wasn’t intentional, Hanbin was satisfied with this incident.

In a way, being able to divide the group into groups and examine them helped ease Hanbin’s workload.

Now, we can divide it into Hanbin’s group and Choi Yuji’s group.

It was when Hanbin was looking out the window with his arms crossed.

A white sheet fluttered in front of the window, making a windy sound.

Whoosh.

Hanbin smiled brightly at that sound.

“Snow Flower has arrived.”

“Yes, Your Majesty. I am here.”

“Did you just hand it over?”

“Yes, they told me right away when I got there.”

Seolhwa handed Hanbin a rolled-up scroll.

Hanbin, who received the scroll, quickly spread it out on the table.

Inside the folding screen, a cat was yawning under a tree.

“what……?”

Hanbin tilted his head.

At that sight, Seolhwa quickly asked.

“Confucius, why is that?”

“I’m wondering if the drawing is correct. I feel like something is missing.”

“Choi Yu-ji, a scholar, must have read it and given it to me without any hesitation because there was nothing special about it.”

The storyteller pointed to the scroll.

The scroll was none other than Seonmyo-do.

It was something that Jang Yu-jung gave to Choi Yu-ji, but it ended up in Han Bin’s hands again.

The reason was the contract between Hanbin and Choi Yuji.

Hanbin stroked his chin and focused on the drawing.

“Hmm, there’s a secret here… … .”

“I saw it briefly on my way here, but it looks like a common folding screen sold at a market. I have a hard time understanding that this came from the palace, Your Majesty.”

“That was true.”

“What do you mean?”

“There was something that Geummi and Sojo told me secretly. They said that Seonmyo Island might not be the same.”

“So you’re saying this is fake?”

“It could be fake, or it could be part of a sketch.”

“Oh my, that’s… … .”

“Yes, that means there’s still something left to receive from Master Jang Yu-jung.”

“How do you take that?”

“Aren’t you going to keep causing problems?”

“Don’t worry, Master.”

“Don’t worry, what does that mean?”

“Cheonghwa and I will study hard and get the rest. Oh, and Sogun too.”

“… … .”

Hanbin smiled silently.

Seolhwa also smiled at that sight.

Seolhwa’s laughter contained many meanings.

Seolhwa came here and realized quite a few things.

One of them was the importance of scholarship.

Coming here made me realize that if I don’t study, there are limits to how much I can help Hanbin.

Although he didn’t say anything to Hanbin, it wasn’t Jang Yu-jung’s mistake that he was concentrating on his book at night with the lamp on.

In fact, Seolhwa was studying hard all night long.

* * *

The next day.

Soho Hall where the lecture is held.

Seolhwa entered the classroom leading her younger siblings.

Hanbin sat in the front seat, but Seolhwa looked around and sat at the end.

Seolhwa took a deep breath as she sat down.

I would rather have a bloody battlefield.

Somehow, this place felt uncomfortable, like I was wearing the top and bottom clothes interchangeably.

The goal of today’s story was simple.

It was helpful to Hanbin.

As a result of tailing Jang Yu-jung and other instructors yesterday, we found out new information.

As Geum Mi-rang said, the Seonmyo painting was not just one piece.

Jang Yu-jung distributed several of the Seonmyo paintings that came down from the palace to several instructors.

Hanbin would get it on his own, but Seolhwa wanted to be of some help.

When it was time for a cup of tea, the instructor came in.

At that moment, Seolhwa opened her eyes wide.

This is because the lecturer for this lecture was none other than Zhuge Li.

When Zhuge Li entered the Xiaohu Pavilion, everyone stood up and played cards.

It was a little different from Kang-ho’s Po-kwon, he bowed his head deeply, but instead of sticking his Po-kwon fist forward, he brought it to Yu-saeng’s chest.

This seemed to be the etiquette of Confucian scholars.

Seolhwa quickly imitated their movements.

“I see you, Master.”

“Everyone, take your seats.”

Seolhwa raised her head and stared blankly at Zhuge Liang.

Our eyes met for a moment.

There was surprise in his gaze.

At that moment, Yang Seok-bong stood up from his seat.

“Let me explain the new students to you, Master.”

“Tell me, Master Yang.”

“The new student was able to attend the lecture with the permission of Professor Jang Yu-jung.”

“Ah, so they are the students that Dean Jang Yu-jung was talking about.”

Zhuge Liang looked at Seolhwa, Cheonghwa, and Sogun and smiled faintly.

Seolhwa also smiled and took out the book.

Seolhwa took out a book and quickly nodded to her younger siblings.

It was a signal to prepare for the lecture.

Zhuge Li, who was looking at them with pleased eyes, also opened his book.

Then he looked at the students in Sohogak with a kind smile.

After confirming that everyone had come out, Zhuge Li asked everyone.

“I heard that last time we learned about the Dragon’s Restraint among the Six Restraints. Do you all remember?”

The Six Paths was one of the military books said to have been written by Taigong Wang.

In a way, it was perfect for Zhuge Li to lecture on military strategy rather than the Four Books and Five Classics here.

Jegal Se-ga is considered a master of military strategy both in the martial arts world and in government circles.

Confucian scholars are generally weak in military books.

However, it was not common to have the opportunity to receive lectures on military strategy from Zhuge Liang.

The students’ eyes are also shining.

Cheonghwa and Sogun also nodded to Zhuge Li’s words, their eyes shining brightly.

“Yes, I remember.”

“I know.”

“Do you remember?”

Of course, Cheonghwa didn’t remember.

That’s because I left the class with Seolhwa last time to monitor other instructors.

Seolhwa simply nodded more earnestly than anyone else.

When everyone nodded, Zhuge Li said.

“Then let’s stand up and talk about what was covered in the chapter on the use of the six paths.”

Before he could finish speaking, someone suddenly stood up.

“The dragon represents the emperor and the general. The dragon broadly mentions the qualities and requirements of the general.”

The person who spoke so clearly was none other than Choi Yu-ji.

He puffed out his chest like a triumphant general.

He turned his head and glanced at Yang Seok-bong.

Although he was suffering humiliation after falling for a scheme, he looked at Yang Seok-bong with confidence that he was superior in knowledge.

Although it was Hanbin who had fallen for his scheme, he was now thinking of Yang Seokbong.

No matter how much I thought about it, there was no way someone from Muga would come up with such a scheme.

If you think about it, it was Yang Seok-bong who instigated the bet.

All of Choi Yu-ji’s anger was directed at Yang Seok-bong.

Yang Seok-bong took him in his eyes.

Choi Yu-ji was a friend who always had to be first to feel fulfilled.

Of course, the first place in the lecture hall was a position that everyone wanted.

This is because after graduating from Yulim Seowon, one is guaranteed to have a certain level of success.

Zhuge Li seemed satisfied and tapped the table with his fan.

“Okay, Mr. Choi. You did well. Then next… … .”

Zhuge Li continued to ask questions.

This was his teaching style.

In fact, this method of teaching military books was a bit burdensome for the students.

But they raised their hands more enthusiastically than ever.

Actually, there was one reason for this.

It was because of Zhuge Li’s beauty.

Although he grew older, his beauty did not diminish.

There, Zhuge Liang’s unique intellectual atmosphere was evident.

Zhuge Li also smiled repeatedly, as if satisfied with the unexpectedly enthusiastic teaching attitude.

Actually, the story was a bit absurd.

Strangely enough, he didn’t give Seol-hwa a chance.

Of course, this was Zhuge Li’s consideration.

Because they are people I know, I took Seolhwa and Cheonghwa into consideration.

As Sulwha spent time assessing the atmosphere, Zhuge Li’s questions continued.

“Then tell me the three ways in which a general can be victorious, as mentioned in the Yongdo section.”

Suddenly, the room was filled with silence.

“… … .”

The students looked at each other’s faces.

It felt like Zhuge Li’s barrage of questions had completely exhausted his base.

Then everyone’s eyes turned to Hanbin.

It meant throwing away the broken rice cake.

They thought that Hanbin would not know what they couldn’t answer.

But Hanbin had his arms crossed as if he was waiting for something.

Then someone raised his hand.

“Can I answer?”

Everyone’s eyes were focused on the person who raised his hand from Hanbin.

Hanbin also turned his head.

There, Seolhwa’s eyes were shining.

Zhuge Li smiled brightly and pointed to the story.

“Seolhwa Confucian scholar, please tell me the answer this time.”

Seolhwa stood up from her seat.
