Chapter 109
After making love all night, Baek Mu-Gun and Namgung Hyun-Ah returned to the Wuchang Sword Sect early in the morning. Mu-Gun then sent Hyun-Ah on her way and returned to his room. Rather than going to sleep, he circulated his qi to recover the stamina he had exhausted while making love with Hyun-Ah.
When the sun rose, Mu-Gunate ate breakfast with Hwang Rei and the Six White wolves, then prepared to leave the Wuchang Sword Sect. They planned to stay in Wuchang for a few more days, but he would feel bad troubling the Wuchang Sword Sect when the other three great families would already be leaving. Hence, he wanted to get accommodations in an inn instead.
The three great families, including the Great Namgung Family, were preparing to leave Wuchang. The Hebei Peng Family and the Great Huangfu Family planned to return home by land, and the Great Namgung Family decided to take the same route they did to get here. They would head to Tongling through the Changjiang River, then make the trip to Hefei on land. The Hebei Peng Family and the Great Huangfu Family left first, and the Great Namgung Family followed not long after.
Mu-Gun went to Wuchang Port and saw the Great Namgung Familys group off. Hyun-Ah found it a shame to be away from Mu-Gun, but she wanted to return home first and convey her will to her father, Namgung Jo, before deciding what to do next. Namgung Ho had already noticed that the relationship between the two had deepened when he saw the affectionate exchange of gazes between Mu-Gun and Hyun-Ah. Personally, he hoped that the relationship between Mu-Gun and Hyun-Ah would develop further.
Considering Mu-Guns martial arts and intellect, it would be difficult to use him even if he married Hyun-Ah. However, for as long as he married a member of the Namgung Family, a method to use him would inevitably arise. Not knowing that Hyun-Ah was determined to cut off her connection with the Great Namgung Family to be with Mu-Gun, Namgung Ho thought that the deepening relationship between Mu-Gun and Hyun-Ah was a great reward for their Wuchang trip.
After seeing the Great Namgung Familys group off, Mu-Guns group booked a room in an inn in Wuchang.
But what exactly do you want to do that requires us to stay in Wuchang longer? Hwang Rei asked.L1tLagoon witnessed the first publication of this chapter on Ñøv€l--B1n.
To find some money.
Money?
During my past reincarnation, I left some money at this places East Lake Vault.
Your past reincarnation? If so, then isnt that money useless now? Youre Baek Mu-Gun right now, not Guyang Hwi.
You probably dont know of this because you have never deposited a huge amount of money in a vault before, but you can deposit your money under a pseudonym.
So you left your money at the East Lake Vault under a pseudonym?
Thats right.
How can you prove that the money is yours if its not named after you?
Vaults issue credit certificates. If I bring that with me, it will be proof of my identity.
But didnt Guyang Hwi have that credit certificate? You dont have that with you now, do you?
I hid it somewhere to avoid losing it.
Where would that be?
On the roof of the Yellow Crane House.
What if someone took it? Why did you hide it there?
Dont worry, its still there. I looked for it yesterday while I was there with Lady Namgung.
Is it just me overthinking or does it seem like you hid it safely because you knew something like this would happen?
Are you implying that I knew in advance that I would be reincarnated and prepared accordingly?
Yes. I know it doesnt make sense. So, how much money did you leave at the East Lake Money Shop?
Two hundred thousand silver nyangs.
How much?!
Like I said, two hundred thousand nyangs. If we add the interest accumulated over thirty years, it will be around five hundred thousand nyangs.
Wow, youve really hit a jackpot.
Not at all. Its clearly my money.
But Im not sure if the East Lake Vault will just easily hand you over that amount. They are known to be crazy about money.
I hope they do.
No, its too dangerous. The six of you should stay here.
With all due respect, how can we improve our skills if we only fight in safe conditions? Dont we have to survive through dangers and threats to become better? Baek San-Kyung said with a determined expression.
I cant protect you if we find ourselves in a battle.
We will protect ourselves.
You might lose your life.
As martial artists, we have always been prepared to die.
Alright. Come with us, but keep this in mind. I did not put effort into training all of you just to lose you here.
We will make sure we keep living until we repay the grace we have received from you, Young Patriarch.
I knew I wasnt wrong in choosing you all. Hwang Rei nodded in satisfaction when the Six White Wolves confronted death instead of fearing it.
In terms of martial arts alone, their skills were still far from enough. However, considering their serious attitude toward martial arts, they would soon become martial arts masters.
The next day at dawn, Mu-Gun, Hwang Rei, and the Six White Wolves began to chase after the Great Namgung Familys ship on a small boat that they had hurriedly prepared. Their vessel could only carry up to ten people, but it made up for that with its excellent speed. Considering the ship carrying the Great Namgung Familys members left yesterday, it would be difficult to catch up to them within the day no matter how fast their boat was. However, they should be able to catch up by tomorrow. Until then, Mu-Gun could only hope that the Great Namgung Familys ship would not encounter the Four Seas Gangs pirates.
* * *
As the Four Seas Gang headed upstream of the Changjiang River, they reinforced their numbers with the Changjiang Waterway Alliances river thieves. The Four Seas Gang had always disregarded the Changjiang Waterway Alliance. As pirates sailing the violent seas, the river thieves, who comfortably pillaged in rivers, were not proper men to them.
Hence, the Four Seas Gang was not particularly keen on working with the Changjiang Waterway Alliance. However, the order of the Invincible Clan, which controlled the Four Seas Gang, left them with no other choice but to cooperate. They were at least satisfied with getting to compensate for the forces that they had lost during their battle against the subsidiary branches of the Great Namgung Family and the Great Huangfu Family. After joining up with the Changjiang Waterway Alliances river thieves, the Four Seas Gangs ships immediately sailed for Wuchang.
In the midst of their journey, they came across a ship with the Great Namgung Familys symbol.
Isnt that the sigil of the Great Namgung Family? Heavenly Dragon Pung Hae-San, one of the Three Dragons of the Four Seas, asked Woo Rei-Chu the Berserk Dragon upon seeing the symbol engraved on the Great Namgung Familys ship.
I think so. Woo Rei-Chu nodded. Theyre probably on the way back from their meeting in Wuchang.
This is good. I was getting bored. Why dont we have a light warm-up before going to Wuchang?
We cant let go of the opportunity to get rid of one of the Great Namgung Familys Five Great Devas.
Agreeing to attack the Great Namgung Familys ship, Hae-San and Rei-Chu immediately informed the Four Seas Supreme Commanders, who were at the helm of the five pirate ships, that they would be attacking the Great Namgung Familys ship. As ordered, the Supreme Commanders immediately headed toward their target while assuming a combat formation.
Meanwhile, the Great Namgung Familys ship, which was crossing the Changjiang River to get to Tongling, confirmed that the five giant ships on the opposite end were approaching them in a combat formation.
Uncle! Those ships over there are showing unusual movements. Namgung Min looked at the formation of the pirate ships with a stiffened expression.
As the Young Patriarch said, theyre probably going to attack us.
Who do they think they are? They dare attack us?
Their ships seem to be designed specifically for sea travels, so theyre probably the Four Seas Gang.
The Four Seas Gang?
According to the Baek Sword Sects Young Patriarch, there is a possibility that the Nine Celestial Demons Sect also controls the Four Seas Gang, and hes probably right. Anyway, its best we prepare for battle.
Enemy incoming! Everyone, prepare for battle! Namgung Min quickly shouted at the warriors aboard their ship.
The Great Namgung Familys martial artists immediately assumed a formation and prepared for combat. Namgung Ho seemed displeased by the sight of the quickly approaching ships of the Four Seas Gang.
There were only thirty warriors aboard the Great Namgung Familys ship. Meanwhile, considering the size of the five ships, their enemy probably numbered at least four to five hundred. Furthermore, based on their number alone, two or three Absolute Realm masters were likely leading them. It would be impossible for the Great Namgung Familys current forces to stop them, but they didnt have any escape routes on this river either.
It would have been great if the Baek Sword Sects group was traveling with us.
Namgung Ho was disappointed that Mu-Gun and Hwang Rei were not around. If he knew this would happen, he would have waited until the Baek Sword Sects group was done with their errands and left together with them. However, it was too late for regrets. Now that it had come down to this, he had to at least ensure that Namgung Min, their Young Patriarch, could get out of this situation alive.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
