Chapter 51. Neng Ha Young’s Guardian (1/2)

Chapter 51. Neng Ha Young’s Guardian

“Young lady, something troublesome has happened.”

“What is it?”

“I’m afraid you’ll have to see this for yourself.”

When Neng Ha Young stuck her face out the carriage, she could see about twenty men wearing masks.

“Get off the carriage, bitch.”

Every one of them were equipped with a weapon, and they were all releasing their killing intent at Neng Ha Young.

“Do you know who I am?”

“Of course we do, you dirty witch! To think a person like you would travel in the open like this…… is this not a chance sent to us from the heavens? Kuhahaha!”

Neng Ha Young faintly smiled, and walked out of the carriage.

“Why are you wearing masks? Is there a use in wearing one if you’re going to kill me anyway?”

“Shut up! I’ll be sure to pull out that filthy tongue from your head first.”

Neng Ha Young didn’t even flinch when she heard that. Instead, she just calmly analyzed the men in front of her.

“You people from the Alliance are trying really hard to catch me, aren’t you.”

The men, who had been approaching the carriage slowly, all simultaneously flinched.

“Isn’t this too obvious? After all, this is the Alliance’s territory. And……”

Neng Ha Young coldly glanced at the men, and spoke.

“The only enemy I have who would do something as idiotic as this would the Alliance.”

“You, you bitch!”

“Did you really think that I am alone?”

“…….!”

The men immediately stopped approaching Neng Ha Young. Come to think of it, it was indeed strange. Why would a person like her travel alone in the heart of enemy territory……?

While the men just stood there not knowing what to do, the man who seemed to be the leader ground his teeth and spoke.

“You truly are a crafty woman. To think you’d try to trick us just like that……. but did you really think we’d fall for it?”

Neng Ha Young stared at the man, and smiled.

“No matter where you go, there are always some people who just don’t trust anything. Like you.”

“Shut up!”

The man charged at Neng Ha Young with a shout. But Neng Ha Young just stared at the charging man without even moving a single step.

Paa—

A sword was slashed, and a flower of blood bloomed in the air. But the blood did not come from Neng Ha Young. The man’s head had been cleanly cut off.

When everyone in the scene made a face of bewilderment, a man appeared in front of Neng Ha Young like a shadow. It was a handsome young man who possessed an unusually pale skin.

The man pushed away the falling corpse, and looked around with a cold glare. While everyone’s gaze was directed at him, the man quietly straightened one of his hands to form a spear hand.

The moment when everyone made a face of confusion looking at that.

Pyut—

The man slashed at the air with that hand once. And that was the end. Everyone that had been previously surrounding the carriage was sliced in half.

Tududuk—

A handful of destroyed corpses began to fall on the floor.

“Hi, hiii!”

Neng Ha Young opened her mouth, while the driver screamed out at the horrifying sight that beheld him.

“Finally. It’s nice to meet you.”

“…….”

“I did think you would show yourself when I got into danger.”

“…….You were too reckless. What would you have done if you actually got hurt?”

Neng Ha Young smiled and pointed at a hill far away.

“I’m not as reckless as you might think. There are people on my side over there. They would’ve come if I just gave the signal.”

Just when did she prepare all this? He stayed with her at all times, and yet he still did not realize she had been scheming such things. The man’s eyes began to be filled with a complex feeling.

‘When did she realize?’

Seeing that she executed the plan like this, the girl had probably known about his existence from a long time ago.

She really was amazing. He didn’t give away anything that might’ve hinted his existence, and yet she still noticed him.

“You probably know quite a bit about me, so how about you tell me a bit about yourself instead?”

The man thought for a bit. Should he tell her? Wouldn’t she be surprised? While he had been thinking that, Neng Ha Young opened her mouth.

“I have a good idea of where you came from. I just want to know your name.”

Shi Yup became quite astonished when he heard this.

He heard of her intelligence from some rumors, and saw a glimpse of it every now and then, but he never realized that she was this smart. The man acknowledged her intelligence and began to introduce himself.

“Shi Yup (視曄) . My name is Shi Yup.”

The Night Emperor Neng Mu Gi. This was the appearance of the emperor’s only disciple.

When the Administrator erased the formation Cho Ryu Hyang drew on the ground.

Ding—

The strange pearl inside Cho Ryu Hyang’s dantian began to move on its own, and Cho Ryu Hyang began to see something strange.

‘Huh?’

Cho Ryu Hyang’s eyes shook as the Administrator in front of him faded away. At the same time, a certain scene began to play out in Cho Ryu Hyang’s mind.

‘This is…….’

These were the past memories of Administrator Un Hui.

Starting from the time when the Administrator passed the Prison of Life and Death, all the way to the part where he made the promise with the Pope. All the important events in the Administrator’s life began to flow into Cho Ryu Hyang’s mind.

While Cho Ryu Hyang was just standing there experiencing the strange event, the Administrator spoke up.

“Are……. are you alright?”

Cho Ryu Hyang came back to his senses when he heard the Administrator’s question. For a very short time, a fraction of the memories of the Administrator flowed into Cho Ryu Hyang’s mind.

‘What was that?’

It was definitely the memories of Administrator Un Hui. But why did those memories just come into his mind like that?

Ding—

The pearl that was moving around in its own in his dantian. Actually, it felt like Cho Ryu Hyang had an experience similar to this in the past.

‘Just when was that?’

When he thought about it for a while, he could remember. When he received the Moon Edge Blade Technique and the strange pearl from the dragon and fainted, he became a white butterfly and met his teacher, Gongson Chun Gi.

It was at the time where his teacher blew away Baek Mu Ryang with a single strike. The feeling he felt back then as a butterfly was similar to what he had been feeling just now.

The feeling that gave him a sense of looking back into the past or into the future.

‘Just what is this……’

The thing that was moving around on its own in his dantian.

Just what was this thing?

“I will go call a doctor.”

When the Administrator stood up with a concerned glint in his eyes, Cho Ryu Hyang quickly shook his head.

“No, there’s no need.”

“Truly? Your face is pale. It would do well to see a doctor.”

Cho Ryu Hyang wiped his forehead when he heard the Administrator’s words. It seemed that he sweat quite a bit without realizing it.

“I really am all right. I was just concentrating a little too much.”

Cho Ryu Hyang glanced at the Administrator as he talked. The way he looked at the Administrator had changed, unlike before.
