Chapter 76. The Second Bodyguard (2/2)

‘How troublesome.’

Cho Ryu Hyang’s eyes emitted a complicated light when he saw No Jin Nyung’s pure eyes filled with respect.

Just what does he believe in, and what does he want?

‘Nothing’s free in this world.’

This was what Cho Ryu Hyang believed in.

But this No Jin Nyung was just going to follow him?

Wasn’t this the guy the one was trying to kill him moments ago?

When he thought this much, the Dragon Pearl in his dantian began to move violently.

‘Again?’

Cho Ryu Hyang frowned.

He had experienced this phenomenon once already.

When the Dragon’s Pearl moved, his mind was instantly filled with countless information from everything near him.

Thanks to that, Cho Ryu Hyang was instantly able to figure out what No Jin Nyung was thinking about.

He dumbly stared at No Jin Nyung for a bit.

He then readjusted his glasses for a second.

‘This person is……..’

Simple.

How could there be a person in the world as simple as this?

No Jin Nyung did not question anything, nor did he ever try to think about something in advance.

Because he didn’t think, his actions truly could be considered to be “random”.

Wasn’t he just an exact opposite of Cho Ryu Hyang?

‘How surprising.’

What was truly surprising to Cho Ryu Hyang was the fact that he couldn’t come up with anything to counter No Jin Nyung’s logic.

Cho Ryu Hyang let out a chuckle, and put his hand on No Jin Nyung’s shoulder with a smile.

“Please, no matter what happens, don’t die. Place your life above my own at all times. Death doesn’t do any good for anyone.”

“Yes, my lord.”

Cho Ryu Hyang stood at No Jin Nyung back up, and spoke.

“You shall be my second bodyguard. And…….”

Cho Ryu Hyang glanced at Un Hui, and opened his mouth.

“We’ll see when we can set up a time for you two to sort out your ranks after you recover. I also believe that it is absolutely essential for you to do this.”

“……!”

Un Hui’s eyes were suddenly filled with confusion.

‘How?’

How did Cho Ryu Hyang pick up his conversation with No Jin Nyung? Did No Jin Nyung send a message to Cho Ryu Hyang?

Un Hui shook his head.

There was no time for No Jin Nyung to do something like that, and No Jin Nyung wasn’t even the type of person to do something like that.

The way Un Hui looked at Cho Ryu Hyang changed multiple times.

He eventually settled with looking at Cho Ryu Hyang with “awe”.

Un Hui had decided that Cho Ryu Hyang was someone who could not be predicted through normal means.

“We’ll go fix you up at the medicinal house, first.”

“Yes, my lord.”

No Jin Nyung stood up with a smile.

He had to recover before fighting Un Hui.

Sunwu Cho Rin hummed while braiding Gongson Ahri’s hair.

While she was a person with the terrible title of the “Demonic Witch”, she would always turn into a kind, gentle woman that resembled an angel in front of Gongson Ahri.

To her, spending time with Gongson Ahri was the most precious time in her life.

‘I’m so happy.’

Sunwu Cho Rin was looking at Gongson Ahri with eyes full of love.

Gongson Ahri, who was letting Sunwu Cho Rin braid her hair, carefully opened her mouth.

“Ling Ling, can I…… go with you?”

“Where?”

“Sichuan……..”

Sunwu Cho Rin paused.

After some time has passed, she opened her mouth.

“Do you want to go to the martial world?”

“Yes.”

“It’s going to be dangerous, though?”

“Rin and Ryung’s going to be with me.”

“They aren’t going to be enough. The martial world is a lot more dangerous than you might think.”

She didn’t want to let her precious Gongson Ahri go to the outside world.

The outside world was a dangerous and unpredictable place.

She wanted to protect Gongson Ahri in a safe, contained environment.

She would normally grant any of Gongson Ahri’s wishes, but this was an exception.

She shook her head with a very worried face.

Gongson Ahri seemed to have felt her shake her head, and turned around to look at her eyes.

“Ling Ling’s going to be there too, though, right?”

Gongson Ahri grabbed onto Sunwu Cho Rin’s sleeves lightly and asked one more time with a desperate face.

‘This is…….’

Gongson Ahri, who was looking up at her with puppy eyes, just seemed too lovely.

Sunwu Cho Rin, in the end, opened her mouth with a silly grin.

“I’m busy, you know. I can’t always be with you.”

Sunwu Cho Rin had an expression of pure joy as she forbid Gongson Ahri from going out again.

“I got strong, you know, Ling Ling.”

When Gongson Ahri spoke up with a proud face, Sunwu Cho Rin’s smile just got even wider.

She spoke as she rubbed Gongson Ahri’s hair lightly.

“Do you want to go out that much?”

“Yes.”

Gongson Ahri shook her head vigorously.

What was the outside world like?

From what she had been hearing so far, the outside world seemed to be very violent and dangerous, but it also had something about it that always made Gongson Ahri become fascinated.

She wanted to experience it on her own.

She wouldn’t get a chance like this ever again in the future.

Gongson Ahri looked at Sunwu Cho Rin with eyes filled with desperation.

After thinking a bit, Sunwu Cho Rin opened her mouth.

“The Pope probably won’t let you go, even if I agreed to it.”

“D, do you think so?”

“Yes.”

“Does that mean I’ll be able to go out if he agrees, then?”

Sunwu Cho Rin nodded with a light smile.

There was no way the Pope would grant Gongson Ahri her wish.

Gongson Chun Gi loved Gongson Ahri as much as she did.

There was no way he’d let Gongson Ahri go out into a dangerous world, no matter how much Gongson Ahri desired it.

But…. it seemed that the world was really unpredictable.

After a few days, Sunwu Cho Rin stood in front of Gongson Chun Gi with a complicated face.

Gongson Chun Gi had given permission to allow Gongson Ahri go out.
