Episode 272Welcoming Guests (4)
âPriestess.â
âAre you finished?â
âyes. Some of the indoor moisture has been removed. âI think we can now move the patients.â
âThank you for your hard work.â
âno. âIf we do that, we will immediately transfer the patients.â
âMr. Gong and his wife should not move yet. The pus has been completely removed, but the fever has not gone down yet. Fortunately, they are both young and will recover quickly, so we will watch for another day or two before moving on.â
âAll right.â
âYes, please work a little harder.â
âyouâre welcome. âIf you do it, thatâs enough.â
As the man walked away, the woman moved her brush again.
Sak Sak.
The womanâs brushwork was truly a work of art. It was a typeface that reached the pinnacle of the eight laws, yet also coexisted with delicacy and mystery.
Her handwriting, so perfect that even the darkest of eyes would gasp, resembled her appearance.
Pure white skin that is difficult to compare to any woman in the central region. Her hair, which shined brighter than gold, hung down to her waist and was so soft that it looked like a river of melted gold.
She was tall for a woman and her body had clear curves. The pupils were blue, the skeleton was quite solid, and the facial features were very clear.
It was the appearance of peoples living further west than Cheonchukguk (天竺å), far to the west of the central plains.
On the good side, he has an extremely mysterious appearance. On the bad side, he has a magical appearance. She was an exotic beauty rarely found in the midfield.
âIs this enough?â
Gently wave your sleeve to dry the ink.
Although he had the appearance of a westerner, his handwriting and behavior showed that he had ingrained Jungwon etiquette. In fact, he seemed to be much more proficient in etiquette than the Jungwon people.
The woman who had finished drying the ink folded the letter one by one.
The woman sighed.
âIt should arrive within five days, but Iâm worried.â
She got up and headed to the next room.
Beep!
There were three hawks flapping their wings in the room.
The woman tied a letter to the ankle of one of them. It was a fairly small piece of paper, but since the falcon itself was not that big, both ankles were covered.
âIâm sorry for causing you trouble. Now, go quickly.â
Deukdeuk!
After sending Jeon Seo-eung away, she looked up at the sky outside the window with deep eyes.
It was a night sky with barely any clouds visible. The starlight seemed like it was going to pour down, and the moon, which was slightly less cold, was shining quietly.
âItâs very cold. âItâs also dry.â
White steam flowed from the womanâs mouth.
âHow can it be so cold in Jungwon? âThey say that in the South, even winter is like spring. Iâd like to go there once Iâm done with work.â Seará´h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
It was a tone that conveyed a sense of nostalgia.
She quietly looked up at the sky and smiled mischievously.
âThere are probably a lot of new herbs to see, right? âOh, Iâm excited.â
A strange excitement appeared on her face as she rested her elbows on the window and rested her chin.
âJungwonâs medical skills are definitely mysterious? The same goes for blood flow and energy. Well, âtheyâ were also good at handling energy.â
The woman stroked her lower abdomen.
âNaegong is truly mysterious. I never thought I would feel so warm and secure just by forming a Danjeon. If I knew it would be like this, I would have learned from them in advanceâ¦â
Her voice became increasingly faint.
ââ¦.â
There was silence for a moment.
Two hawks turned their eyes to her.
She looked out the window for a long time with indecipherable eyes and soon closed her eyes.
âWhen will I be free?â
She opened her eyes again and smiled and stroked the hawkâs chin.
âYou guys are good. Because it has wings. âItâs like this right now, but you can fly away whenever you want.â
She said with a sigh.
âIsnât that so, Jamyoung Ilho?â
Slurp.
A man with black bandages all over his body appeared from a dark, shadowy corner.
The manâs pupils were also blue, like the womanâs. The only difference was that the womanâs eyes were clear and deep, while the manâs eyes were cool.
The man got down on one knee.
âI meet the saint. âHave you been safe so far?â
âUnfortunately, itâs okay.â
âFortunately, the.â
The woman, Ki Woo-hee, smiled bitterly.
âAre you here to check? âAm I shaking?â
âAdditional people fell from above.â
ââ¦.â
âThis is an order to stay in the Murim Alliance as long as possible.â
Ki Woo-heeâs eyes wavered.
âIs that all?â
âThatâs right. If another person falls, we will contact you separately.â
âall right. Is there anything else you can tell me?â
âI heard that you recently learned the Naegongsim method.â
Ki Woo-heeâs face hardened.
As expected, they were continuing to watch them.
The problem is that I didnât feel any sign of it.
Ki Woo-hee was born with a sixth sense and was able to survive countless assassinsâ attacks even before he learned a single martial art.
That sixth sense became sharper day by day, and now, if I wanted to, I could sense the presence of someone looking at me from 200 miles away.
A representative example was the immediate recognition of Jamyoung Ilhoâs popularity. Jamyoung Ilhoâs stealth skills were so great that they could outsmart even the best assassin in the central region.
She didnât realize that someone was watching her.
âWho is it?â
âThe Neigongsim method that the saint has learned is third-rate. âI am sending a message that if you wish, I will grant you the martial arts of the religion.â
âWho ordered it? âI didnât feel popular or noticed.â
âThese are the words of the leader himself, so please speak whenever you wish.â
Cult leader.
Ki Woo-hee let out a sigh.
âThe leader⦠are you well?â
âof course.â
ââ¦Youâre not in pain or anything, right?â
âThe religious leader is a godman. âNo disease or demon in this world can violate His body.â
ââ¦.â
âI brought two copies of the Naegongsimbeop, just in case. âIt is a fusion of the doctrineâs judgment and the martial arts of the central plains, so even those who know the school would not know that the saintâs martial arts are related to the doctrine.â
Sreuk.
Jamyoung Ilho placed two secret books on the table.
âOnce you memorize everything, you must burn it immediately.â
Ki Woo-hee, who was quietly watching the situation, soon sighed.
âNow that Iâm here, please do me a favor.â
âPlease speak.â
âThere is a shortage of medicinal ingredients. âWe have been providing help from one of the top organizations, but that has also become very difficult recently, so we are having trouble securing medicines.â
ââ¦.â
âCan you airlift the medicinal herbs I requested within five days?â
âItâs impossible.â
ââ¦.â
âI received a report that a guard team has departed from the Murim Alliance. âIt may not happen, but if they do try to check the source of the medicine, it could be a headache.â
Ki Woo-hee gritted his teeth.
âThen give me the money. Iâll take care of it. If there is a delay in securing the medicine, the patients will be at riskâ¦â
âThe saint is not the kind of person who would bestow favors on insignificant people in a place like this.â
ââ¦!â
âAlso, infiltrating the Murim Alliance is not something the saint would do. Nevertheless, the reason the saint is experiencing this suffering is because she has original sin.â
Despite the insurmountable difference in status, Jamyoung Ilhoâs words were cold and sharp like a dagger.
Ki Woo-hee knew. The fact that Jamyoung Ilho feels sorry for himself.
The reason he spoke so harshly was because he was worried about himself.
âEven the original sin becomes nothing if the saint puts her mind to it. âYou know very well how much the priest cares for you, right?â
ââ¦.â
âPlease stop associating with insignificant people and make your heart right. âI am not a religious leader who will give up just because the saint is like this.â
âJamyoung Ilho.â
âYes, saint.â
Ki Woo-heeâs eyes caught fire.
âThey are not insignificant people. âThey are human beings with flesh and blood like us.â
âIt is insignificant because their blood is different and their flesh is different.â
ââ¦.â
Ki Woo-hee sighed.
âJust go. âI listened carefully to the orders from above.â
âSaint.â
âI donât want to talk anymore.â
Jamyeong Il-ho, who was looking at Ki Woo-hee, lowered his head.
âIf you do that, Iâll just go.â
Slurp.
Jamyoung Il-ho disappeared. Just like when it appeared, I had no idea what kind of martial arts it was using when it disappeared.
Ki Woo-hee, who was looking out the window with sad eyes, suddenly turned his eyes to the table.
The two volumes illuminated by moonlight looked somewhat eerie.
Ki Woo-hee muttered in a self-deprecating voice.
âSaint? New woman? Itâs funny. âYouâre asking me for money as if you were leaving me to a subject that the only thing I know how to do is medicine.â
Grumbling.
Ki Woo-hee shed tears.
She heard the emergency.
âJamyoung Ilho. They are not insignificant. âIf itâs insignificant, Iâm even more insignificant.â
* * *
Heeheeheehee!
Each of the four horses let out a harsh cry.
âShall we rest here today?â
Mukbiâs appetite whetted at Yeonhojeongâs words.
âIâve been curious about something for a while.â
âhmm?â
âWhy do you like being homeless so much? âYou can just go to the nearest guesthouse.â
âWhat do you think? âThe scenery is nice, and itâs a time like this to be with nature.â
âItâs too cold to talk about the scenery!â
It was winter and there was a lot of snow. I brought fur clothes and a jacket just in case, but the weather wasnât conducive to spending the night in the snowy forest.
Yeon Ho-jeong snorted.
âWhat are you going to do with your skills? Besides, if you are conscious, you wonât feel the cold at all.â
âWe are who we are, but our words are the problem.â
âThese are children raised with the best blood and even elixirs. âIâm sure heâs more resistant to the cold than you are.â
âYou shouldnât talk.â
Mo Fei got off the horse in disgust.
Mo Yong-woo said with a smile.
âManager Mook has a point. âIs there any need to sleep in the forest?â
âItâs romantic, right?â
Mo Yong-woo gave up trying to persuade this crazy younger brother.
In other words, he possessed strong endurance as a peak expert. If I was just paying attention, I wouldnât have been affected by this much cold.
In the end, the group, unable to break Yeon Ho-jeongâs stubbornness, had to spend the night in a snowy forest.
Cheeeeeeeek!
By cutting down the moisture-filled wood, drying it, and lighting it immediately, a bonfire was created in an instant.
âItâs warm after.â
Kang Ryang spread his hands in front of the bonfire.
Yeon Ho-jeong asked Kang Ryang.
âArenât you hungry?â
âYes, brother. âItâs only been an hour since I ate.â
âIs it normal to ride a horse?â
âIf you see me like this, Iâll cut you with a knife. âIt doesnât get through to you.â
âThatâs right. Anyway, my stomach is full, so take your knife and follow me.â
âyes? A knife? why?â
âYou said you werenât hungry?â
âSo?â
âI have to practice when I have time. When are you going to do it? Follow me. âMy father told me to mold you properly and bring you back.â
Kang Ryangâs eyes suddenly became serious.
âGood.â
Although he appeared a bit goofy, his desire to become stronger was genuine. Kang Ryang quickly grabbed his great sword and followed Yeon Ho-jeong.
Mo Yong-woo said.
âDonât relax too much. Letâs start⦠âHeâs already gone.â
Mo Yong-woo glanced silently.
Mukbi smiled awkwardly and lowered his head. Mo Yong-woo also bowed his head with a shy smile.
ââ¦.â
The suffocating awkwardness made it seem as if the roaring bonfire would go out.
After a while.
Mo Yong-woo cautiously opened his mouth.
âIf youâre not tired, weâll have a good timeâ¦â
Tsk.
Before I knew it, Mukbi had fallen asleep. He must have been sleeping quite deeply, so his breathing was very even.
ââ¦After complaining like that, you fell asleep so quickly.â
In the end, Mo Yong-woo had to do nothing but look around the bonfire for two visits.
alone.
