The prestigious guests who received formal invitations arrived at Danlisegae in advance, greeted them, and waited before the banquet began, but not everyone was able to do so.
People who received news indirectly or visited from far away areas continued even after the feast.
Originally, when a party was held for the family’s auspicious occasion, it was common to allow a long period of time to take into account such guests.
However, Dan Gi-gwang drastically reduced the scale and schedule of the banquet for the purpose of summarizing Hwa-gyeong’s enlightenment.
Of course, there were other circumstances behind it.
“You want to go back now?”
Dan Gi-gwang stroked his chin and asked when I said that I would return to the Namgung family and come back when the banquet was held again, as I had a lot of time to spare.
“Yes. There’s still some time left until the feast, so I’m thinking of going back to my family for a while.”
In fact, that was not the only reason why he decided to return to the Namgung family.
As the entire Dan Reese family, including Dan Gi Gwang, developed a very favorable opinion of me, their eyes began to stick to me.
“Sseu-eup, what a pity. It was unexpected that I reached the level of Hwagyeong, but it is even more surprising that I became a transcendent expert at such a young age… If only my granddaughter had been born a little earlier… ”
“… … .”
I pretended like I didn’t hear him talking to himself like that once or twice, but if I did it wrong, the Namgung family and the Danri family might end up becoming in-laws by connecting me.
Aside from the fact that Namgung Hwa-ran was guarding the seat next to me, Dan Gi-gwang’s granddaughter was too young. It wasn’t ugly, but it wasn’t my taste.
For one reason or another, it was difficult for us to stay in a single interest rate for several months, so short interest mania pushed the schedule forward a little.
However, this decision was not made solely out of consideration for our group.
For a while, I had to become a sparring partner for Dan Gi-gwang, who was summarizing the enlightenment of the Hwa-kyung, because I was the only opponent in Sega with whom Dan Gi-gwang, who had reached the state of Hwa-jyeong, could exert his full power with peace of mind.
The reason why Dan Ki-gwang postponed the banquet was to prevent any disruption to the senses that I had become accustomed to when I returned to the Namgung family. I wanted to hold on to the person I had been sparring with for a long time because I was sad to see him disappear.
‘Is this the unavoidable nature of the martial arts people? Because of the sparring, the banquet schedule was postponed.’
Well, it wasn’t something I couldn’t understand, since it was thanks to the sparring with me that he was able to reach the level of Hwagyeong in the first place. Still, when I saw that he didn’t hide his power just because I was an outsider, it was sincere that he saw me as a benefactor.
But that didn’t mean I could continue to stay at Danlisega. If I schedule it properly, it would take several months, and it seemed like I would have to spar with Dan Gi-gwang while I was stuck. So returning at the right time was the right choice.
The feast was over and Dan Ki-gwang, who had no more excuses to hold on to me, had to quench his appetite with regret.
The first time we learned of the guest’s existence was after the banquet was over, while watching the guests who had come to celebrate.
“Who is that drone?”
Namgung Hwaran asked as he looked at the warrior who came out from another part of the guesthouse.
Our group was resting for a while while looking around Bongyang Street and preparing to leave Danlisegae. A guest with unusual attire came into our sight.
The warrior was wearing a robe (披風衣), that is, a piece of cloth similar to a cape, draped over his shoulders and covered with bamboo ribs. However, his clothes were so old and tattered that he almost looked like he was walking around in rags.
Their attire was very different from the clean and neat attire of people who had visited as guests so far.
It was so old that it reminded me of an open ark I had seen before.
‘Did Open Island come to celebrate?’
My doubts were answered by the attendant who was running errands for us next to us. The attendant was busy serving the guests who visited Sega, so he remembered their identities.
“This is an unmanned person who is nicknamed Soyogeomsu (逍遙劍手).”
“Required inspection? I think I heard this somewhere… ”
I tilted my head at the familiar name.
“Is he famous?”
“Required inspection review. It is known as a wandering drone that wanders from place to place. It is a martial artist with a reputation of its own. Still, he’s a peak expert.”
“It’s a wandering drone… ”
After listening to Namgoongmu’s additional explanation, I repeated the word wandering warrior.
Looking at its appearance, it certainly looked like it had been wandering around a lot.
Namgoongmu continued.
“I remembered that he single-handedly disbanded one of the Sapa factions in Hanam. This happened not far from Namgung House.”
“Hanam? ah… !”
I slammed my fist into my palm.
I remembered hearing the story about the destruction of the Sapa sect in Hanam. How could I forget?
‘That bastard!’
The reason why I encountered Tuma was because of Soyo Geomsu. Tuma’s route overlapped with ours because he was looking for Soyo Geomsu.
Did you say, ‘I was heading to Hanam to look for Soyo Geomsu and came across such an interesting sight… If my blood doesn’t boil, the nickname Tuma (鬪魔) will cry.’?
I even remember that the identity of the bandits who occupied the inn at that time were Murim people who were disbanded due to riots.
‘It was the root of all evil.’
I narrowed my eyes and glared at Soyo Geomsu.
When I heard the story, it didn’t seem like he was a bad person, but I felt sick to my stomach when I met the person who was the cause of the hardships I had experienced.
It was even more so because I had never been in as much of a mess as I had been beaten by Tuma. At that time, I was thrown back to reality through a safety ejection, and the mileage I spent to get back to my travel destination was not a penny or two.
‘If you think about it, I’m practically the savior of that person’s life, right?’
It’s clear that a peak expert would have been beaten to death by Mana Tuma. So, it probably wasn’t mentioned separately in the original work.
There is no way Tuma would remember all the warriors he defeated.
At that time, the Soyo Prosecutor turned his head and looked this way, as if he had noticed our gaze watching him. Then he turned around and started coming towards me.
“But he is a person whose words and actions are very unique… ”
When he saw Soyo Geomsoo approaching, the attendant tried to say something, but Soyo Geosoo walked faster.
He stopped in front of us and said, waving his hand.
“Oh my… ! It’s an honor to meet Namgung’s great heroes! It is called the required inspection and review!”
“Ugh… ?”
Our group, embarrassed, took a step back.
Despite his polite demeanor, his words seemed quite frivolous. The word Daehyeop is a word used to refer to martial people who have a very high level of distribution and have achieved a lot, so people from political factions do not use it at any time. It was a title I heard from some of the servants only after I received similar treatment as a benefactor of the Danrisegae family.
Before that, all I heard was from the warriors of the Murim Alliance and stopped the demons of Suramun.
Except for the immature people and the Sapa warriors, they rarely called themselves Daehyeop.
He introduced himself as Soyo Geomsu and Deung Wonpyeong and seemed to have quite a different personality than I had imagined.
“… Nice to meet you. My name is Namgoong Minho.”
Upon hearing my name, Deng Yuanping made a gasping sound and bowed.
“Huh! Yeo, Yeomra Turyong… ! oh my! Yeomra Fighting Dragon Daehyeop! Let’s speak comfortably! There’s no need to say that to a no-nonsense guy like me! Recently, I heard that a Sapa scum called Hyeon-an Yahyo was cut down… As expected, you are as great as I imagined!”
As I was watching in confusion, wondering what to do, an attendant quietly whispered to me.
Whisper whisper.
‘He always shows that attitude towards people from prestigious political factions.’
If what the servant said was correct, it didn’t seem like he was intentionally exaggerating his behavior to make fun of me.
In the end, I had no choice but to sigh inwardly and answer.
“… I understand. However, I heard that he is a top expert, but he is nothing special, so I think he is lowering himself too much… And please stop calling me Daehyeop because it’s burdensome.”
“But… I understand, Yeomra Fighting Dragon Sohyeop!”
He looked at me and nodded as if there was nothing he could do.
It was quite unexpected. It would be normal for a wandering warrior who has reached the peak of his career to have a fairly rough temperament, but this one looked even more servile than his guest, Jeomsoi.
One day, when I met him, I was going to spar with him and beat him up under the pretext of bothering him, but when he showed such a flat attitude, my will to do so disappeared like a deflated balloon.
I asked, barely suppressing the urge to shake my head.
“By the way, where did you hear that I defeated Blood Eye Yahyo?”
“Actually, there was information I heard a while ago while sorting out the Sa Sect sect called Heukung Sect. It was said that the alliance of Sapa men had settled down in the mountains.”
Deng Won-pyeong spoke in a somber voice from under the bamboo ribs.
