Episode 62. War of the Guests (3)

It seemed like a signal to show sincerity in fighting with him. Hanbin quickly answered, pretending not to know.

“I’m sorry, Grandmaster. I don’t have time. And I’m not ready to face the sword of the Volcano Sect.”

After finishing speaking, Hanbin looked over Seo Jae-oh.

There has never been a beggar like this one.

Of course, the outfit wasn’t that of a beggar. What Hanbin was talking about was a beggar’s clothes.

Seo Jae-oh didn’t see a single dot indicating a knot.

In fact, Hanbin was thirsty for Gugyeol. If he had seen even one dot in Seo Jae-oh, there was no way he would have refused his offer.

Seo Jae-oh furrowed his brows after seeing Han-bin’s expression.

“You, a swindler, are refusing my offer of a secret weapon?”

The atmosphere became slightly tense.

Hanbin tilted his head at Seo Jae-oh’s words.

“What the hell? I just want to ask you one question.”

“Tell me. I know your behavior is rude, but I will listen to you as a private tutor.”

“So, Grandmaster, distribution is more important than age?”

“Then, distribution is more important than age.”

“So, does that mean I have to accept whatever the person in the above distribution requests?”

“I think so.”

“Then can you swear to it?”

“I swear.”

“Then would you like to write up a contract and leave?”

“A contract?”

Seo Jae-oh wiggled his eyebrows. As soon as the word contract came up, he felt that things were going strangely.

That was when.

A hearty laugh was heard from behind.

“Haha!”

Everyone’s eyes turned to the direction where the laughter was coming from. In that direction, the head of the law enforcement department, Pang Dae-wi, was laughing happily.

The large man slowly stood between Hanbin and Seo Jaeoh.

Hanbin took a step back with a puzzled expression.

It was an unexpected appearance. He raised his sword high into the sky without paying attention to the gazes of those around him.

He struck the island with great force.

phut!

The sound of a sword rang out and Hanbin’s sleeve was blown away by the sword wind.

The island stopped an inch from the ground.

The surrounding area was as if it had been cleaned, with not a single speck of dust left. Seo Jae-oh was equally surprised by the unexpected situation.

As a plum blossom inspector, his level was extremely low. When he saw the martial arts of Peng Daewi, who was extremely high level, he couldn’t help but feel overwhelmed.

The problem was why the swelling was like this.

Hanbin knew exactly what his actions meant so far. It was clear that it was to sound the alarm on Seo Jae-oh’s reckless behavior.

While everyone was looking at the pedestal with curious eyes, he struck the sword on the floor again.

thud!

Then he opened his mouth.

“This Tao remembered your promise.”

Short but clear sentences.

However, Seo Jae-oh had no idea what that meant. Then Han-bin stepped forward.

“Daehyeop, what the Lord of the Law Enforcement Party said was simple. He said that distribution is more important than age, and that the person in the lower distribution should do what the person in the higher distribution tells them to do. The Lord of the Law Enforcement Party’s sword remembered that. Isn’t that right, Lord of the Law Enforcement Party?”

When Hanbin looked at Peng Daewi, he nodded with the corners of his mouth twitching.

At that sight, Seo Jae-oh gave a prize to Peng Dae-wi.

“Thank you for being my witness. Then, could you also notarize the request I have for the youngest prince?”

“Please tell me.”

“I would like to ask the youngest prince for a favor.”

In that moment, the surroundings began to stir.

“I guess I’ll get lucky again. Wow, will I get lucky this time?”

“No, this time it’s the Volcano faction, so would that kind of luck work?”

“I don’t know either.”

“Then will you bet on the youngest prince?”

“Hey, you little punk. You’re gonna lose money!”

As the atmosphere became more heated, Hanbin answered.

“But there is a condition.”

“Conditions? Please tell me.”

As Seo Jae-oh crossed his arms with a friendly expression, Han Bin quickly answered.

“I would like to have the ceremony at Cheonsujang in a month.”

“I want to do it now.”

As Seo Jae-oh’s tyranny began again, Han Bin hardened his expression and said.

“I was seriously injured during my last mission and have not yet recovered.”

After finishing speaking, Hanbin frowned while rubbing his side. Anyone could tell that he was in a lot of pain.

Of course, this was Hanbin’s acting.

Thanks to the effectiveness of the knight’s revival, the wound was immediately healed, and a week had passed since the scar disappeared thanks to the healing power.

Seo Jae-oh nodded reluctantly.

“Then I promise not to avoid it then. I’ll leave it at that!”

“It’s a godsend.”

Hanbin answered and took a deep breath.

This was to show the minimum courtesy to the elders. Next time I see them, I will not make any concessions, whether they are elders or not.

Hanbin, who was about to turn around and leave, tilted his head.

It was because all of the Tiger Squad were looking at Seo Jae-oh.

Joho is even blowing out his breath.

“Because of that kid, I made a promise with Hyang-i tomorrow… … . Sob sob.”

“Be patient, be patient. Don’t they say that blessings come to those who are patient? I also grind my teeth when I think about not being able to see my daughter because of that guy.”

As So Dae-seop countered, complaints poured out from all over.

“From today onwards, I will not associate with those Volcano faction bastards.”

“You might get struck by lightning if you go that far!”

Hanbin smiled with satisfaction at the sight of the Tiger Squad reunited after a long time.

Both hatred and love were sources of strength that came from the heart. When these things accumulate, they will become the strength to overcome the difficult world of martial arts.

Seo Jae-oh, who was returning to his quarters after parting ways with Han-bin, stopped walking.

Peng Mubin, who was following that figure, asked.

“Why are you like that, sir?”

“My ears suddenly itch. Who is swearing at me?”

“Surely, who in Habukpengga would curse their tutor?”

“By the way, you seem to be fine from what I saw earlier, but why are you delaying the meeting for a month? Is there something you can sense?”

“It must be really painful. Or maybe he’s just buying time because he’s scared.”

“Neither. Looking at the look in his eyes, he wasn’t afraid of me at all. And the flow of energy was vivid, as if there were no obstructions.”

Seo Jae-oh’s words were true. He was a talented person from the Hwasan faction who, although not a genius, was a talented person. Through this brief meeting, he had figured out everything about Hanbin.

In fact, it took Seo Jae-oh a month. The Hanbin I had just seen was not an easy opponent.

What if the plum blossom swordsman of the Hwasan faction loses to the swordsman of the Habuk Peng family?

This was a shocking thing. However, after seeing Hanbin today, there was no way that such an unfortunate incident would not happen.

Seo Jae-oh spoke to Peng Mu-bin, who was standing there blankly.

“I’m going to use the training ground from today.”

After finishing speaking, Seo Jae-oh grabbed the scabbard with a clear plum blossom pattern.

Peng Mubin tilted his head at that sight.

This is because Seo Jae-oh has never shown such a serious look since coming to Habukpangga.

* * *

A few days later, Cheonsujang.

Contrary to the determination of Plum Blossom Inspector Seo Jae-oh, Han Bin was looking for a solution in a completely different place.

Hanbin was concentrating on the two letters written on the table.

Distribution.

This was the ultimate solution that Hanbin had in mind. In fact, this was not a weapon that could only be used to deal with Seo Jae-oh’s provocations.

If you travel the world, there are not many people who are free from the words rank and distribution.

If there is anyone who is free from the two characters of distribution, it would be either a wandering ronin or the best in the world.

Seo Jae-oh, the plum blossom inspector of the Hwasan faction, will be the first guest invited by Madam Jeong-hwa.

Winning this guest war was simple: just eat the high quota.

Now, everyone was gathered around Hanbin with solemn expressions on their faces.

Hanbin’s shadow escort, Lee Mu-myeong.

So Dae-seop, the leader of the Tiger Clan.

Everyone, including Jang Ja-myeong, the exclusive member of the Maengho Sadae, had a serious expression on their face like Han Bin.

However, not everyone thought the same as Hanbin. They just agreed because Hanbin had a serious expression on his face.

Among them, Jang Ja-myeong was crazy.

‘How was the distribution?’

This one thought kept spinning around in my head.

He hated Hanbin for calling him to this meeting when he was trying to rest after a long time, thinking he could handle it himself.

Jang Ja-myeong was wondering how he could escape from this room, but he couldn’t open his mouth easily.

When I glanced to the side, So Dae-seop’s expression was the same.

It was clear that she was holding back a yawn as tears welled up in her eyes.

Despite the invisible screams around him, Hanbin’s expression did not soften.

As Hanbin was tapping his temple and deep in thought, the door opened.

Swish.

The one who approached Hanbin was, of course, Sim Mi-ho.

“My lord, I have compiled the information you requested here.”

Sim Mi-ho handed over the letter.

The unfolded letter had several names written neatly in it.

Hanbin, who confirmed the name, asked Sim Miho.

“Are you saying all these people are in Habuk?”

“Yes, that’s right. My lord, I checked it myself. Well, if it had moved today, I don’t know about that.”

As Sim Mi-ho spoke confidently, Han Bin’s eyes quickly scanned the letter.

For a moment, Hanbin’s gaze stopped at one of the names in the letter.

“Then let’s go with this guy.”

After Hanbin opened the letter, he pointed to one name with his hand.

Hong Chilgae.

Everyone, including So Dae-seop, tilted their heads, but Sim Mi-ho was startled.

“My lord, Hong Chil-gae is impossible.”

“What is the reason?”

“Although he is a senior in openness and has the best distribution, he has a reputation in the martial arts world that he is extremely picky when it comes to making friends.”

“But? What’s the problem with that?”

“Think about it. What we need right now is a guest with a high distribution. But would a martial arts veteran like Hong Chil-gae want to come here? Do you know what Hong Chil-gae’s nickname is, my lord?”

“… … .”

Hanbin silently gestured to Imoo-myeong. It was a signal for him to answer instead.

Imoo-myeong, who received the signal, smiled brightly and opened his mouth.

“Hong Chil-gae is often called Mujeja in the martial arts world.”

When the nickname “Mujeja” came out, people’s eyes lit up as if their interest had been aroused.

“Are you saying that the disciple who is so picky about people has been choosing disciples for forty years?”

When So Dae-seop asked, Lee Moo-young smiled and answered.

“Yes, that’s right. In terms of distribution alone, you could say that he’s higher up than the Shaolin Temple’s abbot or the Hwasanpa’s chief priest.”

“Hmm, recruiting such a big shot… … .”

When So Dae-seop trailed off, Han-bin snickered and picked up the letter.

“If Hong Chil-gae doesn’t work, tell me who among the people here is worth recruiting.”

Hanbin opened the letter with a start.

A few names appeared there.

From the elders of the Seomun Family to the elders of the Kunlun School, they were all famous martial artists currently in Hebei.

But, no one was easy.

When everyone was gaping, Hanbin said,

“But wouldn’t a beggar be the easiest?”

“ah!”

Imoo-myeong opened his mouth wide. He was someone who valued his appearance, so he wouldn’t have shown this attitude under normal circumstances, but now he couldn’t hide his expression.
