Habuk Pengga Swordsman Genius - Chapter 590



Only Noblemtl

590. I believe in you (5)

There was a saying, “A flock of chickens and a crane.”

The reason why the crane stands out is simple.

It was because there was a crane in the flock of chickens. But what if it was a flock of cranes?

The background here was a flock of cranes.

Choa wanted to become a student who stands out.

Even a rabbit, not a crane, would have been fine.

She wanted to stand out here.

So even now, he was wearing a mask to stand out among the crowd of white cranes.

Choa’s intention to stand out from the crowd, even by wearing a mask, has been successful so far.

I was able to take on more tasks than others and achieve great success thanks to that.

As a result, she was able to establish herself as Baek’s right-hand woman.

She also volunteered for the mission at Yulim Seowon.

She earned the merit of eliminating Jeokryongdaehyeop from Yulim Seowon.

Her position in the background was becoming increasingly solid.

In fact, she doesn’t know Baekgyeong’s purpose.

The background’s purpose had nothing to do with her.

Her goal was to learn the martial arts to become a god and reach the highest rank.

I didn’t know the purpose of the background, but I knew the short-term goal.

It was to eliminate the martial arts people that Baek Kyung could not control.

The short-term goal of the background was to eliminate any groups or individuals that could not be controlled.

Perhaps it was for Baek Kyung’s distant future plans.

Cho-ah didn’t know what the plan was, but she would remain loyal to Baek-kyung until the end.

For her, only martial arts that surpassed human limitations were important.

To get there, I had to take on many missions.

Because he had to quickly build up his achievements and surpass the ship owner.

It was when Choa was seriously eating her food behind the mask.

Baek-yi frowned as he checked the contents of the note.

It was the first moment when his eyebrows, which had been neatly aligned as if they had been fed with glue, began to wrinkle.

He turned his head quietly.

It seemed to have nothing to do with the contents of the note.

Cho-ah knew why Baek was doing that.

Perhaps it was because he was reminded of the human who had blemished his perfection.

The place Baek was looking at was the deck.

The deck was as white as snow.

But there was one part of the white deck that stood out.

It was a part that looked like it had been burned.

It was a trace left by someone who identified himself as the Envoy of Cheongun who had visited this place.

It was an unacceptable trace, as Baek pursued perfection bordering on obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Is the Blue Cloud Envoy dead?

Choa didn’t think so.

Even though I fell into a deep river, I saw that as part of the plan of the person called Cheongunsashin.

Choa investigated the Cheongunsa Temple separately.

The reputation that Cheongunsashin built in the martial arts world was quite splendid.

But compared to that, it didn’t leave much of a trace.

The biggest trace among them is the one left on the deck of the Baekgyeong. Not a trace in the abstract sense, but a real trace.

Perhaps, judging by the traces he left behind, he might have been someone who knew the personality of Baek, the ship’s owner.

If that’s true, the Cheongunsashin could be Baekgyeong’s greatest enemy.

Cho-ah knew what Baek-i was going to say.

After seeing those traces, Baek repeated the same words for several months.

Perhaps he didn’t even realize that he was repeating the same thing.

That trace was a wound to Baek.

Baek finally opened his mouth.

“That trace won’t be erased. Whoever created that trace… … .”

“At that time, he revealed himself as the Envoy of Cheongun.”

Choa answered reflexively.

Now it was time for the next story.

As expected, Baek continued.

“Didn’t you say you would investigate separately?”

“Yes, that’s right. According to my separate research, both the level of martial arts and characteristics are identical to those of the famous Cheongunsashin in the martial arts world.”

“hmm.”

“There is someone similar, but he was sent to the other world by Confucian scholars, so only one remains.”

Choa lifted her rabbit mask slightly and smiled.

“Then, if I just deal with the Three Masters of Murim and the Envoy of Cheongun, I’ll be free for ten years. No, I won’t be bored since there’s still internal discipline left.”

“I have something to tell you.”

“what?”

“They say the White Dragon’s Rat has sneaked into Hwaryeon Mountain. What should we do?”

“What do you think? Tell me what you think.”

At that moment, Choa’s eyes inside the rabbit mask widened.

This was the first time that the ship owner, Baek, had asked for her opinion.

She answered quickly, her eyes sparkling.

“Why wait to catch a rat? You have to catch it right away.”

“How are you going to catch it?”

“There’s not enough time to set a trap in the exit and wait. If it were me, I’d just light a fire in the mouse hole.”

“Set fire to the rat hole… … .”

“Then they will know to stick their heads out. Then, Ssak!”

Choa pretended to draw a nail.

Baek, who was looking at the scene, nodded.

After nodding exactly three times, Baek continued speaking.

“Would you like to take on that task? If you want, I can leave it to you.”

“Really? If you just leave it to me, I’ll erase it cleanly without leaving a trace. Not even a single rat hair.”

“How many people do you need?”

“I think I can handle that little rat by myself.”

“conceit!”

“yes?”

“It’s pride.”

“Then how many people should I bring… … .”

Choa glanced at Baek-yi.

Pandering to her superiors was also one of the things she was good at.

When Cho-ah nodded, Baek finally smiled.

“Then, leave the minimum number of people to guard that place and go deal with the rats hiding in Hwaryeon Mountain.”

Baek pointed somewhere.

The place he was pointing to was a non-partisan group.

“I haven’t forgotten.”

“Don’t forget. This is where the most important transactions take place.”

“Your name.”

As Choa dove deep into the water, Baek waved his hand.

“Then let’s leave quickly!”

It was a signal to go quickly.

Choa stepped back and gestured to her surroundings.

It was a signal to pick people.

At Cho-ah’s signal, the white-clad warriors began to move busily.

Baek continued to check the news without paying attention to Choa.

There was quite a bit of news left on the table.

Among the news coming from Gaebeong, Haomen, and many other tops, this is a selection of the most frequently mentioned news.

Baekgyeong refers to this ship, but also refers to the tribe that Baek belongs to.

And it was one sect.

In a way, it was an organization that left no trace anywhere in the Central Plains.

But interestingly, the organization that was present everywhere in the Central Plains was none other than Baekgyeong.

Even the Dark Emperor was nothing more than Baekgyeong’s lackey.

Baek, with a blank expression, turned the note he had read into powder and blew it away in the wind.

The pile of notes on the table gradually decreased in number.

That’s when the note hit the floor.

Baek’s expression changed slightly.

At that moment, Choa, who had finished selecting the personnel, returned to Baek-yi.

At that moment, Baek showed his palm and shouted.

“for a moment!”

It was just one word, but the intonation was strange.

The strange accent stopped Choa in her tracks.

Choa turned around and quietly checked Baek’s expression.

Baek’s expression didn’t change.

I just looked back and forth between the note in my hand and Choa.

But the air around Baek-yi changed.

It was as if the atmosphere was swirling around the white.

The current that had been swirling around him stopped.

Choa hurriedly retreated to the back.

This is because an incredible aura emanated from Baek’s body.

It was not an amount of momentum that Choa could handle.

Just as a spider weaves a web to catch its prey, Baek covered the deck with his momentum.

Then he quietly looked at Choa.

Just that gaze made Cho-ah’s face sting.

The momentum of the white robe penetrating through the mask was incredible.

Choa thought that the first thing to do was to hide her emotions.

She collected her emotions and asked in a calm tone.

“Why are you like that?”

“Go and check it yourself.”

After finishing speaking, Baek threw the note.

stroke.

The folded note was unfolded.

A transparent stream of energy rippled along the edge of the unfolded note.

It is something that was sprinkled with inner energy.

Although it was just a piece of paper, the note, filled with the spirit of Baek, seemed sharper than any famous sword.

The notes continued to fly towards Choa’s face without stopping.

It felt as if a dagger was pointed at Choa.

For a moment, the others on deck flinched.

I was wondering if I should step forward in this dizzying situation.

Even in a situation where others were worried, Choa just waited with her hands folded politely.

It seemed like he had no intention of defending himself.

He didn’t even blink, as if he would gladly accept the punishment.

The note that had been flying at full speed stopped just an inch before Choa’s eyes.

Only then did Choa raise her hand and grab the note.

Choa’s eyes trembled slightly as she checked the note.

She quickly approached Baek.

While feeling the force of the stabbing blow to my body.

Choa approached him and asked.

“The author called Jeokryongdaehyeop has appeared?”

“Isn’t it out there?”

“That’s also a non-flight event?”

“You probably think he’s fake.”

“… … .”

Choa chewed her lips.

Defeating the Red Dragon was one of her greatest achievements.

But the Red Dragon Swordsman is still alive.

He also publicly declared that anyone who would confront him would gather there.

It was a situation that was utterly incomprehensible.

Then Baek handed over another note.

“Check this out too.”

“This is… … .”

Choa bit her lips again.

There was news that the Cheongunsashin, who had been hiding tightly and not coming out no matter how hard one tried to find him, had revealed traces.

Suddenly, months of achievements seemed to disappear like melting snow on a spring day.

Choa continued speaking.

“I’ll check it out. Please leave it to me again.”

“You take care of the affairs of Hwaryeonsan well. Take only two-thirds of the personnel. And… … .”

Baek looked at the other person behind him.

“Ju-ah, go after the Cheongun Envoy, and Hwang-ah, take care of the Jeokryong Daehyeop. If they are fake, capture them and find out why, but if they are the real Cheongun and Jeokryong, you can kill them on the spot.”

At his words, two women came forward and gave their blessings.

“Your name.”

Their voices echoed across the deck as if they were one.

The women called Joo-ah and Hwang-ah looked similar.

Both of them raise the corners of their lips slightly at the same time.

Then he looked at Choa.

When their eyes met, Choa turned her head.

She bit her lip and stepped back quietly.

Baek, who had given the order, began to look over the note.

Among them, there was one piece of news that stood out.

There was news that the rising star was moving these days.

Baek shook his head.

There was no room to investigate that far ahead at the moment.

He rubbed the note into dust.

On one side of the crumbling note, the word ‘Jinryong’ could be seen faintly.

What Baek had just confirmed was the information regarding the Jinryong upper group.

The Jinryong Group was a recently rising merchant group.

Based on the strong relationship with the Man-geum Battlefield, it was a large corporation that was attacking the entire Central Plains with massive capital.

I heard that the top leaders wear white clothes with golden dragons on them.

It was a kind of show off.

And it was also confidence.

Baek silently watched his men leaving for their mission, then turned his gaze back to Mt. Mudang.
