Chapter v8c23

An Unexpected Reunion

Just as Bi Ryu yeon finished his business at the Aesojeohoe, he was walking down the club street to return to his dormitory. It was just as he turned into an alley. There were two women walking towards him from the opposite side.

Bi Ryu yeon’s excellent eyesight informed him that these two people were women and that they were quite beautiful. However, Bi Ryu yeon was surprised to see her in a different sense. He had never imagined that he would reunite with her in this way. His relationship with her was just an amusing memory. He never imagined they would meet again. But unexpectedly, he met her in such a trivial place by chance. So, there was no prepared reaction.

“Huh?”

Bi Ryu yeon’s eyes widened in surprise. As always, his wide open eyes were hidden by his bangs and not visible to the other person.

“Huh?”

The reaction of the other person was also unpredictable, like someone who had encountered an unforeseen situation.

A slender figure. Skin like white jade. Eyes like black obsidian. Dignity overflowing from her entire body. A noble scent. And black hair fluttering in the wind. She was a stunning beauty. Now, she was clenching her teeth and fists, trembling violently.

“Hey! Fatty.”

Bi Ryu yeon pointed at her and shouted unconsciously.

The beauty’s face instantly twisted with displeasure. Her face, which had been like white jade, turned red with anger. It is said that when a woman harbors resentment, frost can fall even in the fifth lunar month… Suddenly, the air around them turned chilly as if frost had fallen. The woman could not suppress the murderous intent rising within her.

Peng Yu kyung, who was escorting the woman, was momentarily lost in self doubt, wondering if She had heard nonsense. She couldn’t believe that someone would commit such an extreme rudeness in front of the person she was escorting. What was even more unbelievable was that a rogue of unknown origin suddenly appeared and recognized the person he was escorting.

To commit such rudeness even knowing the woman’s status? It was an absurd situation. It was such an impossible event that Peng Yu kyung momentarily forgot what She was supposed to do.

Peng Yu kyung glanced at the woman. Her body was trembling like a trembling tree. She had never seen her so agitated before. Only then did she remember what she had to do.

Chang! A sword was drawn from her scabbard. She was a member of the prestigious Northern Peng family.

“Such a rude bastard!”

Peng Yu kyung shouted angrily. She had to severely punish this man.

“I see you for the first time.”

Bi Ryu yeon said to the furious Peng Yu kyung. Peng Yu kyung shouted back in anger.

“Shut up! Do you think you know the leader?”

In Peng Yu kyung’s memory, which was almost exclusively dedicated to escorting her, there was no rogue named Bi Ryu yeon.

Bi Ryu yeon’s gaze turned to the woman. Her body flinched slightly.

“We meet again.” Bi Ryu yeon said with a smile.

The woman did not respond. She seemed to be still in shock. She bit her lips until they bled. Her body began to tremble. A light of resentment shone from her eyes.

Peng Yu kyung waited with her sword drawn, waiting for her command. Considering the woman’s pride, such an event was an insult that could sever the meridians or the limbs.

‘What should I do about this?’ The woman was flustered. And deep inside, murderous intent was boiling up. ‘To meet this man here…?’

After completing five hundred days of closed door training, she returned to Cheonmu Academy with a heart ready to soar, only to have her mood plummet to the depths of hell by this man.

It could have been revealed. She was in danger of exposing a lifelong secret that she had carefully hidden, a secret that no one should know. It would have been better to die than to have that secret revealed.

If she could, she would have liked to kill him then and there. She had to silence this man’s mouth by any means necessary.

He had appeared out of nowhere that day. How flustered she had been when he suddenly disappeared. And how anxious she had been. Maybe meeting him today was a stroke of luck. She had to seal his mouth by any means!

‘I can’t forgive you! I will never forgive you!’ He had seen a secret of hers that should never have been seen. She would never forgive him. A hatred close to rage and a desire to kill dominated her mind and body. First and foremost, she had to subdue him under her feet by any means. That was her first task.

“You bastard, do you know who this person is to commit such rudeness?”

Peng Yu kyung said. It was the first time she had seen such a stiff and rude official in front of her. She was doubtful whether such a person with that appearance could really be an official of Cheonmu Academy.

“Who is it? Someone important?”

Bi Ryu yeon asked back. Peng Yu kyung was at a loss for words. The woman felt the same way. Could it be that this man knew nothing? If so, it was highly likely that the story had not leaked out. The woman felt a little relieved.

“Clean your ears and listen well. This person is none other than Maha Ryeong Cheol Ok jam, who is currently serving as the leader of the Military Association at Cheonmu Academy.”

Anyone seeing her for the first time would wonder how she, with a woman’s body, could serve as the leader of the Military Association, one of the major forces of Cheonmu Academy, known for its high level experts and talents. However, once they knew her status, everyone would nod in understanding and accept that she was fully qualified to be the leader of the Military Association.

She was the granddaughter of Ha Hu sik, one of the Cheonmu Three Saints, and the precious jewel of Cheonmu Academy’s head, Cheol Kwon Ma Jin-ga. She could proudly claim to be one of the most noble blooded people in the martial world.

“Oh!” Bi Ryu yeon exclaimed, slapping his palm with his fist.

“Ah! I was curious about someone, and it turns out it was that famous person. Thank you for showing me something interesting back then.”

Bi Ryu yeon greeted with a slight smile. Of course, Maha Ryeong was not in the mood to return that smile at all. She needed to find a solution quickly to overcome this difficult situation.

“But surely you didn’t draw that sword to use it on me, did you?”

Bi Ryu yeon’s finger pointed to the sword held in Peng Yu kyung’s hand. To Bi Ryu yeon, the energy at the tip of the sword clearly contained murderous intent. Peng Yu kyung was still waiting for a signal from Maha Ryeong, the head of the group, before taking any action.

“Did I do something wrong? It’s strange to draw a sword so recklessly.”

Bi Ryu yeon thought it was incomprehensible for someone to draw a sword so abruptly and warned her.

“If you don’t want to get hurt, you should stop.”

“What did you say?”

Peng Yu kyung was infuriated. Bi Ryu yeon seemed like someone who had studied professionally how to provoke people with every single word.

Peng Yu kyung’s forehead veins bulged.

“I have no intention of tolerating any behavior that is harmful to me. Even if it’s a woman, it’s the same. So if you don’t want to be seriously wronged, it would be wise to put the sword back in its sheath.”

For Bi Ryu yeon, it was a form of advice. However, such arrogant advice that completely disregarded the other party was unlikely to be heeded.

Peng Yu kyung was dumbfounded. ‘What kind of person is this?’ was her honest feeling. But what was strange was that she still hadn’t swung the sword she was holding. Normally, she was not a woman with such patience. Nor had patience suddenly sprung up from dry ground today.

Something was interfering with her desire to attack. She didn’t know what it was. Perhaps it was a survival instinct… an indescribable sensation. Her body was simply refusing.

And because of that, she found herself talking more and more.

“What grade are you in?” Peng Yu kyung asked.

“Second grade, I guess?” Bi Ryu yeon answered readily. There was no particular reason to hide it.

“What?”

Peng Yu kyung’s eyes widened. It turned out that the person was a green, young junior. She was a fourth year student herself. Two years at this Cheonmu Academy made a huge difference.

“Do you know that I’m a fourth year student?”

“Is that so?”

The tone of voice indicated complete ignorance! But it also indicated that he didn’t care at all.

“That’s right.”

‘I was needlessly nervous,’ she thought. At that moment, Peng Yu kyung looked down on Bi Ryu yeon. And so, Peng Yu kyung made a grave mistake by not following her instincts. The invisible shackles that had been restraining her actions were released, and the sword’s blade revealed its sharp teeth.

She ignored Bi Ryu yeon’s warning.

Riding on the status of a woman and acting arrogantly, Peng Yu kyung naturally became haughty and impatient. Because she was a woman of status, she had never had to wait for anything to be resolved. Therefore, there was no chance for patience to take root. She made the mistake of disregarding Bi Ryu yeon simply because of his lower grade and younger age.

Bi Ryu yeon kept his promise. He had sworn to make Peng Yu kyung regret it. Especially such promises, Bi Ryu yeon always kept diligently.

Tip!

The Hebei Peng Family’s secret technique, the Five Tiger Sword, which Peng Yu kyung had executed with all her might, was completely immobilized by Bi Ryu yeon’s two fingers. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t pull her sword free from those two fingers.

Clang! That was the end. The weapon, the pride of a martial artist, was snapped in half by Bi Ryu yeon’s two fingers and flew into the wall.

“Void Pointer!” Maha Ryeong exclaimed in shock.

Void Pointer! A supreme skill where one catches the opponent’s weapon barehanded and breaks it! It was not a martial art that a second year student could perform. Bi Ryu yeon’s fist struck Peng Yu kyung’s stomach hard. With a thud, Peng Yu kyung’s body collapsed, and she lost consciousness.

“Who… who are you?”

Maha Ryeong’s voice trembled with astonishment.
