Chapter 80. Expansion into Mainland (2/2)
It didn’t matter what happened to him.
Moving into the mainland just meant that he was getting closer to ‘him’.
‘Yu Sul Bin……..’
The Wudang Sect.
He had never forgotten about the man from that sect.
In the past, he could only suffer from that man’s hands due to his lack of power, but not this time.
He would take care of the anger in his heart with his own strength.
While he was thinking of such things.
Knock knock–
Somebody knocked the door of the moving carriage.
Cho Ryu Hyang had known that someone was approaching from the beginning.
Due to the ‘area’ that was created thanks to the Moon Edge Blade Technique, he was able to notice people who were approaching him from a certain distance.
“Who is it?”
“The young lady wishes to come in.”
He must be talking about Gongson Ahri.
After thinking a bit, Cho Ryu Hyang opened his mouth.
“Does she have a request?”
“Looks like it.”
After thinking some more, Cho Ryu Hyang sighed and opened his mouth.
“Alright. Tell her to come in.”
“I’ll bring her in.”
Cho Ryu Hyang fell in deep thought as Sunwu Cho Rin walked away.
He remembered what his teacher told him when he realized that Gongosn Ahri would follow him in this dangerous trip.
–Do you like an idiotic woman, or a smart one?
Cho Ryu Hyang was confused.
Why would his teacher suddenly talk about a woman at a time like this?
Also, wasn’t he too young to even think about such things?
When he made a confused face for a moment, his teacher grinned and spoke some more.
–So you’re just into pretty girls?
When Cho Ryu Hyang made a complicated face, due to the fact that he did not even know what was going on, Gongson Chun Gi tapped the armrests on his chair and spoke.
–There’s a girl as white as paper. Well, you’ll see that she has quite a lot of perks about her as you spend more time with her, but ‘for now’, the biggest perk she has is the fact that she is a clean sheet of paper. Would you like to try drawing on that piece of paper?
Cho Ryu Hyang didn’t know what his teacher was talking about at first.
He only managed to realize what his teacher meant when he heard Gongson Ahri would be accompanying him on the trip.
When he realized this, he blushed without realizing it.
And he began thinking to himself,
“Teacher, aren’t you being too blunt?”
Right.
His teacher was being too blunt.
That made him uncomfortable.
This actually made him turn away from Gongson Ahri more than usual.
He had avoided her for ten days by making up random excuses.
Gognson Ahri probably noticed that something was going on by now.
‘I don’t have time for her.’
No, this wasn’t just for Gongson Ahri. This applied to everyone.
Plus, he was too young to think about such things…….
While Cho Ryu Hyang was thinking about such things.
Somebody knocked on the doors.
Knock knock–
When Cho Ryu Hyang opened the doors of the carriage, the cold wind of winter struck the interior of the carriage like a storm.
Whoo–
The sound of Cho Ryu Hyang’s surroundings suddenly got much louder when he instinctively scrunched up his eyes.
Clack, clack–
Thump, thump–
The sound of the horses running, and the carriages shaking rang clearly in his ears.
Right then, he could see Gongson Ahri, who was smiling brightly while sitting on Sunwu Cho Rin’s horse, came into his eyes.

Thump–
His eyes then moved onto the golden hair that shone in the bright sunlight.
‘This is…….’
Cho Ryu Hyang stared at Gongson Ahri with a dumb face for a moment.
What was in front of him just seemed too unreal at the moment.
Right then, Gongson Ahri’s mouth opened up to reveal her white teeth, and a clear voice flowed out from it.
“The view from a horse is much better than looking outside from the carriage!”
“……..”
How should he respond?
Cho Ryu Hyang thought a bit, and leaned forward outside the carriage a little bit.
Then, the strong wind lashed out at Cho Ryu Hyang’s body full force.
Dudududu–
Cho Ryu Hyang frowned as he felt the carriage shake beneath his feet.
He felt strange when he looked at Gongson Ahri.
‘I thought she was an angel.’
The thought rose up in his head all of the sudden.
Cho Ryu Hyang became surprised by his own thought, and looked at Gongson Ahri strangely.

“He should be really confused by now.”
“What?”
“No, I just thought of my disciple for a second. Don’t worry about me.”
Jeon Bak and Sunwu Jo Duk became confused.
They didn’t understand why the Pope was grinning all of the sudden.
But since the Pope did things like this all the time, they quietly went back to checking documents.
They still had plenty of work to do.
Gongson Chun Gi just kept smiling evilly, as if he found something funny.
“My dear disciple, at times like this, you lose as soon as you become aware of her. Would he have noticed by now?”
He didn’t tell Gongson Ahri anything.
But he had purposefully thrown several things to Cho Ryu Hyang to make the boy nervous.
He was wondering what his smart disciple would think about his words, and once the boy realized what he meant, the boy would keep thinking about it without realizing it.
And making his disciple just think about such things would be enough for Gongson Chun Gi.
“Now… what kind of a picture are you planning on drawing, my disciple?”
Gongson Chun Gi worked while laughing to himself for the rest of the day.
