Chapter 104. An Obvious Trap
ED: Chrysanthemum
“You can plant it in here.”
“Understood.”
There was something Cho Ryu Hyang immediately began to do when he arrived at Sichuan.
That something was to plant trees everywhere in the area.
Strangely enough, the trees that Cho Ryu Hyang had chosen were all different in size and shape.
No matter how busy he was, Cho Ryu Hyang always found some time to plant more trees.
At the time, not even Un Hui and No Jin Nyung knew what Cho Ryu Hyang was trying to do.
But they still silently helped their master, and their work was finally beginning to bear fruit.
Ju Ho Yu liked sweet things.
Even in front of the frightening Chuk Gye Gwang, he was unable to restrain his sweet tooth; however, right now, he was unable to touch the sweets that were in front of him.
That was because he was in deep thought at the moment.
‘The formation has not been activated yet?’
The giant formation that was set up in the Sichuan branch of the church.
He didn’t know who made such a thing, but one thing was for sure: the man who made this formation was an ‘expert’.
But that wasn’t the only thing that made Ju Ho Yu so surprised.
‘This is amazing.’
The formation wasn’t even activated.
Even so, the energy that came from it was extremely unusual.
Ju Ho Yu was able to feel the energy that others were unable to feel in an instant.
After continuously rubbing his nose, Ju Ho Yu closed his eyes.
‘The smell is just too strong.’
This formation had an extremely strong smell.
A formation attained a unique smell based on its purpose.
A formation made to kill had a smell of blood about it and one that was made to capture people had an earthly smell about it.
But the formation here had a different smell from anything else.
‘What in the world is this?’
A formation he never knew existed.
Ju Ho Yu was stressed due to finding something he never saw before.
He slowly opened his eyes and exhaled.
He had remembered something that someone told him a long time ago.
‘Nothing is impossible in this world.’
The only man in the world who tried to create formations through calculations.
And the only man in the world who tried to look at the world mathematically.
‘Teacher Jo Gi Chun…….’
The man who worked harder than anyone else in the Imperial palace.
That man’s advice floated up in Ju Ho Yu’s mind multiple times, allowing him to become calm.
Jo Gi Chun, the man who no longer existed in the world, had managed to calm Ju Ho Yu quite a bit through his advice.
‘Nothing is impossible, huh……’
It seemed that he had been thinking that there wouldn’t be any formation experts who were better than he was.
Thinking that such a person might exist actually made him quite comfortable.
Ju Ho Yu stretched his hand out to the snack in front of him and calmed himself.
‘Keep calm.’
His chaotic eyes immediately became calm again.
He had to wait.
If he waited, the person would come.
The person who made the formation.
And a while later, the person appeared in front of him.

“You’re making it too obvious that you’re in love with him, senior brother.”
A small, dry whisper was passed by between two people.
“Yeah? That’s good. I’m doing it on purpose. I think I’m in love. What should I do?”
The heir to the North Sea Ice Palace, Juk Hyul Myung, looked right and grinned.
The person who he was looking at was Gu Hui, the heir of the Nanman Beast Gate, who was currently riding on a black ox.
Juk Hyul Myung’s eyes burned with fighting spirit as he looked at Gu Hui.
“Trying to fight here…… Are you crazy? Are you actually trying to get beat up by our teacher?”
Juk Hyul Myung grinned for a bit, but after hearing Ju Da Hye’s words, his grin disappeared.
“Hey, junior sister, your words are getting a little rough nowadays? Aren’t you being too harsh here?”
“You’re forcing me to be like this.”
Juk Hyul Myung looked at Ju Da Hye with an annoyed face.
In the past, he would’ve teased the girl, but he couldn’t really do that now because of the mistake he made a while back.
‘And…….’
For some reason, the girl’s pride was going through the roof nowadays.
It was almost too hard to handle.
Juk Hyul Myung swore that he would take his revenge in the near future, but at that moment, his eyes met Ju Da Hye’s.
Then, the girl lifted her chin, making a ‘what do you want?’ face at him, making Juk Hyul Myung awkwardly smile and turn away.
“I swear, you’re going to try to hit me in the near future.”
“Tch, it’s not like you’re actually going to get hit though.”
“Well, that would depend on the situation.”
Ju Da Hye’s eyes sparkled when she heard this.
Her senior had never been hit by anyone since his birth.
Because his talent was so great, not even their master punished them.
This kind of a person just indirectly said that he would allow himself to be hit.
‘Is this a chance?’
Ju Da Hye began to look at the world more positively.
However.
“Puhehe, I’d be screwed the day I actually get hit by you. I’d actually have to give up my position as your senior brother?”
“…….”
“Anyway, I’d have to fight that lump of muscle on some other day. The Church thing comes first.”
“…….Right.”
Juk Hyul Myung completely ignored Ju Da Hye’s crestfallen face as he moved on his horse.
There weren’t many people who actually came from the North Sea Ice Palace and the Nanman Beast Gate.
The group was actually just under twenty people.
The people from the Alliance behind them, however, numbered more than two thousand.
‘We’re just straight up asking to fight, huh.’
Well, that was what they were going to end up doing, but he still didn’t like it.
Juk Hyul Myung disliked winning by numbers.
Just sending Gu Hui or him would’ve been enough to assassinate the heir of the Demon Church.
That might actually be easier actually.
But…….
‘Just what is teacher thinking…….’
He would never have attended a fight like this if it wasn’t for his teacher.
This was probably the same for Gu Hui as well.
The heir of the Church greatly let down Juk Hyul Myung’s expectations.
‘A child who just turned ten…….’
This made him feel quite disappointed.
He had been expecting a lot from the heir after all.
‘But…….’
