Habuk Pengga Swordsman Genius - Chapter 657

657. Flowers blooming on the seagull (3)
Hanbin didn’t answer and just quietly looked at Peng Heukbin.
All he shows is a faint smile.
Peng Hyuk-bin burst into laughter as if he found it ridiculous.
“Is this a secret too?”
“How did you know?”
“Are you trying to ignore it until the end?”
When Peng Heuk-bin finished speaking and looked at him with a meaningful expression, Han-bin asked.
“What are you talking about, brother?”
“No matter how you look at it, doesn’t it seem strange? You knew that the Mandarin Duck Sword would come.”
“Why do you think so?”
“People who haven’t been to the Guangdong region don’t know about the custom of the Mandarin Duck Sword. The custom of courtship is a secret custom even within the Guangdong region. Thanks to this, in our family, only my father and I know about this custom.”
Peng Hyuk-bin smiled as if he had struck his younger brother with a blow.
Hanbin also smiled.
“Who am I, brother?”
“Isn’t that my younger brother?”
“You have forgotten who my master is.”
“Master… … .”
As Peng Hyuk-bin opened his eyes wide, Han-bin continued speaking.
“Master, you are a senior in the Opening Cult, so how could I not know that much information?”
After finishing speaking, Hanbin looked at Peng Heukbin with a smiling face.
In fact, it was something I knew because of my experience in a past life.
Peng Hyuk-bin tilted his head as if he still had questions.
“That alone doesn’t explain it. Aren’t you the one who would be terrified if it was a marriage proposal? No matter how much I think about it, it doesn’t make sense that you would have just accepted the Mandarin Duck Sword.”
“Why don’t you just return it later?”
“That’s not what I mean. Whether you reject it or not, you can’t accept a marriage proposal and be so calm about it.”
“Aren’t I a little thick-faced?”
As Hanbin tried to escape like a snake climbing over a wall, Peng Heukbin asked again with shining eyes.
“What was that look you exchanged with your younger brother?”
“How did you know that?”
This time, Hanbin opened his eyes wide.
“Your gaze is just like the one you had when you were little, before you started playing.”
“I just asked them to make a fuss.”
“hmm.”
When Peng Hyuk-bin tilted his head as if he didn’t understand, Han-bin continued speaking.
“I just tried it because the situation was weird. I asked my brother to do it.”
“That request is… … .”
“I asked him to do something serious.”
“hmm.”
“He was probably thinking about who to pick a fight with on his way back to his seat. And in the meantime, the Jindugae Sohyup of the Gwangdongjin family came into play.”
“So you’re saying that Jin So-hyeop was unlucky?”
“I didn’t know I would run into that evil brother either.”
“So what’s the result?”
“No matter how much you think about it, doesn’t the situation seem strange? If there was this much commotion, it would be normal for Taoists to rush out beyond the mountain gate.”
“Well, the Hero Competition is just around the corner, do you really have the energy to worry about this?”
“The shaman’s biggest concern is the safety of the guests. But it’s so quiet. And it doesn’t make sense that there are people waiting in line to get past the Haegeomji in front of the temple.”
“So what are you trying to say?”
“It’s suspicious.”
“Are you suspicious of the nonpartisan group?”
“Didn’t you see the background last time? Except for a few masters, you won’t be able to handle them. The same goes for us. The moment we let our guard down, we’ll definitely have a knife in our throat. Come to think of it, we’ve already been hit.”
“What does that mean?”
“I’m talking about the Taegeuk sword.”
“Nothing is certain yet. I always acknowledge you, but this time, I feel like I’m mistaken.”
Peng Hyuk-bin smiled with a sincere expression.
He roughly explained the situation to Hanbin.
But nothing was certain.
If, as Awoo said, there really was a problem with Taegeuk Sword Master, the Hero Tournament would have been canceled.
Peng Heuk-bin thought Han-bin was too sensitive.
In some ways, being sensitive was normal.
How many enemies have you faced in a short period of time?
The number of traitors from the martial arts world that we saw in Sacheondangga was also quite large.
In this situation, no one could be trusted.
But this Heroes Tournament was different.
The Heroes’ Congress was a gathering of people to defeat a common enemy.
It was an event that brought together strength, not people.
But the enemy has reached out here?
In Peng Hyeok-bin’s view, it was impossible.
Hanbin smiled back at him after seeing his expression.
“Well, maybe I’m mistaken.”
“Now you’re acting like my brother.”
Peng Hyuk-bin patted Han Bin’s shoulder.
Hanbin smiled brightly at the warm atmosphere.
Of course, contrary to his expression, his true feelings were complicated.
Everything indicated that this Hero Tournament was doomed from the start.
It was nonsense to say that I was too busy to pay attention to the prose below.
We still don’t know what the conspiracy is.
Peng Heuk-bin took the lead and joined the long line.
Hanbin took out the box in his arms and checked it.
Then he began to examine the Mandarin Duck Sword closely.
What Hanbin examined was the blade of the Wonang Sword.
The letters were faintly engraved on the day.
Hanbin, who had finished reading the text, rubbed the blade of his sword.
The blade that Hanbin touched became blurry like a wet book.
The letters engraved with internal energy have been removed.
Hanbin handed the Wonang Sword and the box to Sogun who was coming from behind.
“Please take care of this.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
“Don’t worry, you can lose it.”
“ah.”
The little prince opened his mouth as if he couldn’t figure out Hanbin’s intentions.
That was when.
The Jindugae of the Gwangdongjin family that had disappeared a little while ago came running.
This time, no one was wary of him.
His eyes just sparkled with curiosity.
Jindugae stood in front of Peng Hyeokbin in a different way than before.
Then he whispered to Peng Hyuk-bin in a secret voice.
“The Great Hyup, so… … .”
At that moment, Peng Hyuk-bin’s eyes widened.
Jindugae said he would guide Habukpangga and his party to their seats.
It was the same as Akbigwang’s suggestion just now.
Peng Hyeok-bin stubbornly waved his hand, but Jin Du-gae did not back down.
The argument went on for quite some time.
Peng Hyuk-bin also did not back down.
I vividly remember the reaction of Shandong Musician’s Akbigwang when he tried to lead me to the front seat.
A place where the old school, the teenage school, and numerous other schools gather.
If we were not careful, bad rumors could spread like wildfire.
Isn’t there a martial arts proverb that says a third-rate warrior’s tongue is faster than the sword of a top-class master?
In a place where an unspecified number of people are gathered, it is right to be careful about what you say and do.
Then Hanbin sneaked in.
“Please guide me.”
Peng Hyuk-bin tilted his head at Han Bin’s sudden acceptance.
“Hey, didn’t you see the reaction a little while ago?”
“It will be different now.”
After finishing speaking, Hanbin left the line and took the lead.
At that sight, Peng Hyeok-bin looked at Han-bin as if he found it absurd.
It was only a moment later that Peng Hyuk-bin’s eyes grew wide to their limit.
This is because the reactions of the people standing in line were clearly different from before.
They were chattering as if it were a given, unlike before.
“If you are the successor of Cheongunsashin and Jeokryongdaehyeop, it is right for you to go first.”
“Of course… … .”
“So, will we be able to see the Red Dragon Swordsman and the Blue Cloud Envoy at this Hero Tournament?”
“There’s also talk that Jeokryongdaehyeop has retired… … .”
“What does that mean?”
“I heard a rumor that you recently washed your face with gold powder and went into seclusion at the military academy in Yeongdansan.”
“I’m hearing this for the first time?”
“And there is a rumor that the Envoy of Cheongun left for the North Sea.”
“North Sea?”
“There is a saying that the envoy of Cheongun is from Bukhae.”
“Then I guess we won’t be able to see you two at this Hero Tournament.”
“Instead, can’t we see the successor right in front of us?”
He raised his index finger and pointed at Hanbin who was passing by.
Peng Hyuk-bin quickly turned his head away because of how intense the gaze was.
It was a completely different atmosphere just a moment ago.
At that time, I happened to pass by the Shandong Musicians.
Peng Hyuk-bin looked at Akbi-kwang’s expression.
When Akbigwang spoke with his mouth shape, Penghyeokbin nodded.
Akbi Kwang’s expression was filled with resentment.
When he tried to guide the Habukpangga group, he was showered with curses, but this time, he seemed to not understand why they were cheering him on.
Peng Hyeok-bin could understand Akbi-kwang’s feelings.
Because he himself doesn’t understand the current situation.
Jin Du-gae of the Guangdong Jin family, who had been leading the way, also tilted his head.
At that time, Hanbin arrived in front of the Kwangdongjin family.
Hanbin stopped walking for a moment and looked at someone among the Guangdong Jin family.
At those eyes, someone walked out from the crowd of Guangdongjinga.
The way she walked out with a limp seemed like she had mastered the art of lightness. She was a woman in light attire with hair behind her ears that stood out.
The hair that fell past her shoulders was enough to steal the attention of those around her.
She quietly approached Hanbin and stood in front of him.
Jindugae frowned at her and blocked her path.
“What are you doing now? You brainless… … .”
“Brother, please leave for a moment.”
She boldly pushed Jindugae back and handed the prize to Hanbin.
“My name is Jinmi Rang.”
“I received the Mandarin Duck Sword.”
“I’m glad you received it well.”
“However, I was a little disappointed because the weather was a little dull.”
“Then I will send you another one later.”
As Jin Mi-rang of Gwangdong Jinga smiled brightly, Jin Du-gae, who was next to her, quickly grabbed her arm.
Then he quickly dragged her behind him.
The sight was that of a younger sibling being dragged away by his older brother.
Jindoo-gae, who had bitten his younger brother from behind, looked at Hanbin.
Jin Du-gae glanced at Han Bin and approached Peng Hyeok-bin.
“I’m sorry, Prince Peng. My sister is a little immature.”
“It’s okay. Isn’t that the age when curiosity is at its peak?”
“hmm.”
Jindugae coughed in vain.
Peng Hyuk-bin asked at that sight.
“Why are you like that? Jin So-hyeop.”
“This is not an age to be very curious.”
“What do you mean?”
“My younger sister is thirty years old.”
“Thirty? Didn’t you say you were my little sister?”
“Yes, that’s my brother.”
“No matter how much I think about it, I can’t understand it.”
Peng Hyeok-bin looked Jin Du-gae up and down.
His age is at most thirty.
Jinmi, who was introduced as my younger sister, looked to be less than twenty years old.
But thirty!
When Peng Hyeok-bin was embarrassed, Jin Du-gae continued speaking with difficulty.
“Our Gwangdongjin family has been around for generations.”
“ah.”
Peng Hyuk-bin opened his mouth wide and touched his face.
Then he looked at Jindugae with a sad expression.
There was a hint of envy in his face.
Jindugae looked at them for a moment and then disappeared into the crowd of Gwangdongjin family members as if he was sorry.
It wasn’t just Peng Hyuk-bin who was embarrassed.
Sim Mi-ho also glared at the siblings as if they were astonished.
Of course, I didn’t forget to touch and check my own skin.
The most gloomy one was Jang Sam, the oldest member of the Red Blood Tiger Corps.
Jang Sam quietly lowered his head.
However, only Joho was keeping his shoulders straight.
Thanks to that, the strange conversation between Hanbin and Jinmi disappeared from their minds.
Contrary to their reactions, there were some whose eyes sparkled.
It was a fairy tale.
Seolhwa’s eyes were sparkling brighter than ever.
Cheonghwa poked Seolhwa in the side.
“Sister… … .”
“Why? It’s Seolhwa.”
Their voices grew fainter and fainter.
Anyone could tell that a secret conversation was about to take place.
But no one paid any attention to them.
Cheonghwa, who was looking around, asked cautiously.
“Why are you looking like that? Do you know something?”
“Hmm, I’m not sure… … .”
Seolhwa made a meaningful expression.
