Chapter 458 - Don't argue with my ways






 

dawn the next day.

 

Baek Seon-hwa glanced behind her on the way to her master's carriage for breakfast.

 

A small carriage was standing on top of a hill just within sight of it.

 

It is the kite's carriage.

 

'A persistent person.'

 

At the moment, the emotions that are difficult to describe were firmly united.

 

She knows she has to put up with it a little bit, but that didn't make her any less uncomfortable.

 

I feel like the eyes of the people I run into today are even more digging into my heart.

 

Who is worse in their eyes?

 

Everyone was pretending not to see it, but deep inside they seemed to sympathize with the senior.

 

Whatever the circumstances, that's why I was kicked out unilaterally.

 

She is supposed to be on the side of the weak, so she might accuse herself of being a scary woman.

 

Her appetite ran away at the thought of that.

 

Baek Seon-hwa tried to reverse her steps, but she kept walking as if being pushed by the gazes around her.

 

There were not a few escorts stationed around Kwak Hyo Suk-soo's carriage.

 

As soon as they saw Baek Seon-hwa, they stood up from her seat.

 

A few people even moved their seats with their bowls.

 

Baek Seon-hwa greeted the escorts first, making eye contact with them.

 

“Good morning. Is it jojogye (a type of steamed chicken) for breakfast this morning? Does it smell good?”

 

However, the reaction of the escorts is very strange.

 

It's an atmosphere where everyone smiles clumsily and avoids their eyes.

 

Baek Seon-hwa, who was tilting her head, saw Moon Yeop-sik just in time.

 

But what about wearing a hood on her head inappropriately?

 

Besides, she had a burn on one cheek, and her blisters were red.

 

“Moon escort, did you burn your face?”

 

“Ah, yes. It happened.”

 

“Oh, be careful. You burned your face.”

 

She gave words of consolation that were not comforting in her own way, and walked over to Kwak Hyo.

 

She doesn't have an appetite, but she wants to eat at least a little for the trip up.

 

At that time, when she came, Zhongyang Daeju Shangwol Sword Baek Sanwu came over and said.

 

“Let’s talk for a minute.”

 

"yes? yes."

 

Baek Seon-hwa followed Baek San-wu, wanting to talk about something urgent even before the ceremony.



 

“What is it? uh? But what's wrong with your uncle's face? It looks like the door guard also suffered burns.”

 

Come to think of it, Baeksanwoo also had a hood on her head.

 

When she stared at Baekseonhwa, Baeksan cried and went to the main topic.

 

“You should go to the practitioner and apologize.”

 

"yes? What does that mean? Why am I? What did I do wrong?”

 

Then Baek San-wu said with a complicated face.

 

“First of all, apologize for kicking him out.”

 

“He first treated me as a strange person in front of the escorts… … .”

 

"heard. But isn't he making up sounds that don't exist? I know you've tried, but if she weren't the daughter of the ark, would she have appointed you as a secretary? Are you going to deny that you've been given special treatment?”

 

“How could your uncle say such a thing… … .”

 

“Look. Aren't you still blaming me, the owner of Chungyang University? You do not feel special because privilege is routine, but in the eyes of others, it is not. But you kicked out the senior who pointed that out. Do you still not see your fault?”

 

“I know what you mean. But those are the things I deserve to enjoy. It's not like people treat me like an ordinary clerk because I refuse."

 

“I am not asking you to apologize for the life you enjoyed. It means denying your special life and apologizing for kicking out the senior who pointed it out.”

 

“Why should I? As my uncle said, I am the eldest daughter of the ark. He is also the secretary of the upper chamber. I have the right to kick out seniors. That's why my uncle didn't object. Why are you doing that all of a sudden?"

 

Baek San-wu, who had been crying for a moment, shouted out loud.

 

“Don’t use the word “right” like that! If you crush him with the power of a rat's tail, he has nothing to say even if he crushes us with force!”

 

“Did you press it with force?”

 

Baek San-wu untied the hood on his head, revealing the mangled top of his head.

 

“Why, why did you become like that?”

 

"ha! I sent someone to deal with the kite last night, but they failed. Even I came forward, but I couldn't even get a glimpse of him. He was a master of Murim. I didn't have the confidence to handle him even at Jungyang University, so I ended up on his knees.”

 

“You say that the practitioner is a master of the Murim?”

 

“Do you remember what Hong Jeong-ro and Go Ju-il told you?”

 

"yes."

 

“It must have been about seniors. Since they only followed you, they must have tried to use their hands because they couldn't see it. Now I think I know why they were silent.”

 

“Did the practitioner want an apology from me?”

 

"He tried to cover it up with money somehow, but he wanted money and your apology.”

 

“Then I must apologize. I will.”

 

Baek Seon-hwa was no longer stubborn.

 

If it's something that can't be avoided anyway, it's nice to see it being proactive.



 

After talking with Baek San-wu, Seon-hwa Baek headed straight to the carriage of the performer.

 

Her stomach was so sore that it felt like it was about to tear, but she held it in.

 

On the one hand, she felt self-defeating, thinking, ‘Did she commit herself to the upper world to see something like this?’, but she intends to endure the fact that business, by nature, requires removing the gallbladder.

 

Coincidentally, Gongja Yeon was eating breakfast in front of a campfire.

 

The food in front of him became familiar, and when he looked again, he was ‘Jojo-gye’ created by Gwak Hyo-suk-soo.

 

It means that the upper level is already treating him as an honored guest.

 

Baek Sun-hwa, who was different in front of her sister-in-law, opened her mouth with an effortless expression.

 

“Yeong Confucius. I heard the words of the Daeju of Chungyang University. Please forgive me if you feel offended by my words and actions. It was because there were still many shortcomings.”

 

Yeonjeokha, who had been immersed in delicious food for a long time, raised his head.

 

It seems that he came because he wanted an apology.

 

But she couldn't quite remember why she was angry with her.

 

An exclamation of ‘Ah!’ flowed from her lips as she pondered for a long time.

 

'that's right. No matter what I said, they took it all as bluff.'

 

So she tried to tell me, ‘I have my own reasons for being treated like you are the daughter of the ark.

 

But as soon as she brought her out about ‘Paek Sun-Hwa’s special treatment’, she was kicked out.

 

“Why are you like that?”

 

“It reminds me of something I forgot.”

 

Baek Seon-hwa didn't bother to ask.

 

She thought that if the elder accepted the apology, she would quietly step down.

 

“Does Baek Soja know why I followed the top?”

 

She said, “I heard it was because the destination was the same.”

 

“It's not necessarily like that. There was something I wanted to say to the bag manager and the escorts.”

 

“What is it?”

 

“Do you remember what I said the day I was kicked out? You said that Baek So-jeo is the daughter of the ark, so the escorts notice her.”

 

“… … yes. I will apologize again for that.”

 

“As for why, I wanted to say, ‘I have my own reasons, just like Baek So-jeo is treated specially.’”

 

“Any reason?”

 

Baek Seon-hwa, who had completely forgotten what she had been with Yeong-gong that day, she did not immediately understand.

 

“The escorts laughed at me for a while when I said it was okay for the inn to fail. You must have a lot of money.”

 

"ah! yes."

 

“I have a story that I can talk about like Baek So-jeo. What does that mean?”

 

“… … .”

 

Only then did Baek Seon-hwa understand his words and a bitter smile appeared on her face.

 

I was shocked that he did something just to explain the reason why he heard such a man.

 

“Why is your expression like that? Is this the face you chewed on shit?”

 

“Why didn’t you just come and talk to me? If it was, no one would have been hurt.”

 

Baek Seon-hwa felt that it was her own fault for her uncle's burns, so she felt bad.

 

Yeonjeokha laughed.

 

“Bag sozer. Do you know what your uncle said when he threatened me?”

 

“… … .”

 

“They say that the strong have no shame. That's your way of life. So you kicked me out proudly, and your uncle tried to kill me. why? Originally, it is a world where strong people can do whatever they want. I am like that too. So don't argue with my method. Before burning all three layers of hair.”

 

“… … please forgive me."

 

Baek Seon-hwa closed her eyes tightly and bowed her head.

 

She forgot that now she had to act like she was going to drain her liver and gallbladder.



 

After a while, she returned ringworm.

 

While watching her walk away, her love interest suddenly turned her attention to Yang Il.

 

"how is it?"

 

"yes? What?"

 

“If I had stepped on it at once, I wouldn’t have gotten the money. I got an apology and money because I put up with it moderately. This is what I call killing two birds with one stone.”

 

“Ah, come to think of it, it really is. I admired Confucius’ wisdom.”

 

Yang-Il's mouth dropped open as he suddenly had a thousand nyang of Eun-ja.

 

To think that seniors persevered in order to earn money is amazing.

 

'As expected, Green Forest's Tae Sang-ho method is different no matter what.'

Southern directness.

 

Hefei.

 

non-additive.



 

around noon.

 

A carriage with the flag of Baekhwa Sangbang, merchants, porters, and escorts appeared under Bigasan.

 

Bisan is where the Murim family, the Namgung family, are located.

 

The upper class did not dare to go further at the entrance of the alley and settled down in a wide empty lot.

 

Baek Il-woong, the acting chief, headed for the Namgung family, taking only Baek San-wu, the Sangwol sword of Jungyangdaeju, and Baek Seon-hwa, the clerk.

 

Seeing Namgung family in the distance, Baek Il-woong glanced at Baek Seon-hwa.

 

“There will be no problem with the present, right?”

 

"yes."

 

In response, Baek Seon-hwa stroked the wooden box containing her old books that she was holding on her chest.

 

“We are the ones who couldn’t keep our promise, so we have to bow our heads unconditionally. Even if you see something strange in the world, don’t be ignorant or curious.”

 

"yes."

 

Baek San-wu and Baek Seon-hwa answered in unison.

 

In fact, the two of them were so tense that Baek Il-woong didn't have to pay attention.

 

“If Yeongongjae is a Seungnyang, then Namgungse is a tiger. She shouldn't do anything to get caught, even if it's just eye mucus.”

 

Baek San-wu and Baek Seon-hwa nodded their heads to Baek Il-woong's new request.



 

As the three approached, the warrior guarding the gate of the Namgung family asked,

 

“Who are you from?”

 

Baek Il-woong, overwhelmed by the spirit of the warrior, answered politely.

 

“Ha Nam Baek My name is Baek Il-woong, the acting manager of the video room. I came because I ordered Okju (玉雕) and Tang Samchae (唐三彩) from Namgung Family a month ago.”

 

“What about Okju and Dangsamchae, only three people?”

 

Baek Il-woong told the warrior who was inquiring about what had happened.

 

“… … The wagon containing Okju and Tangsamchae was burned. So, tell me the circumstances... … .”

 

Baek Il-woong was in the midst of explaining, when he heard the sound of rattling wheels from behind.

 

Baek Il-woong's eyes widened as he looked back.

 

The practitioner's wagon, clinging to his upper tail, was slowly approaching.

 

'Why is the practitioner here?'

 

I know what kind of place the Namgung family is, but I don't know what they are thinking.

 

Another warrior in front of the gate raised his hand and stopped the carriage and shouted.

 

“Who are you from?”

 

Yang-il, who had been looking at it hesitantly, mumbled with a confident face.

 

"That's it, they say you'll understand if you're a senior at Gaebang Namyeon Inn... … .”

 

In an instant, the warriors guarding the gate scattered like locusts in all directions.

 

Some opened the gate wide, others ran inside.

 

After that, the warriors who stood like iron towers shouted loudly while shouting at the wagon.

 

“Yeong Confucius! welcome!"
