Moon-Shadow Sword Emperor

Chapter 69

Episode 69:

Cheonwoo Dojang shook off his injuries and woke up faster than expected.

I thought it would take at least 15 days to a month, but I recovered my health in exactly 7 days.

I had felt it before, but the durability and resilience of my body were much better than that of an ordinary person.

I had a doubt.

How on earth did Maehwashingeom raise his disciples?

“Yeon Sohyeop. “Can you give me a moment?”

Early evening.

Cheonwoo Dojang came to me while I was helping Hwadaerang train at Hwayangse’s training hall.

After instructing Hwadaerang to practice independently, I moved to the position with Cheonwoo Dojang.

“What’s going on?”

“I want to ask you a few things. “Did the kidnapped women return home safely?”

“yes. We requested the Songpungpyo Bureau (送風鏢局) to help each person visit their home. “For those who lost their families, Hwayang Sangdan decided to provide support for a new start.”

“Thank goodness.”

Dojang Cheonwoo was fiddling with his teacup with an expression that clearly revealed his complicated feelings.

Even though I told him good news, he didn’t seem very happy.

It seemed like there was something else I really wanted to talk about.

‘I wish I would get to the point quickly and not waste time.’

I sipped my tea and changed the topic.

“It was announced to the outside world that the fight broke out because the Black Pungdae attacked the carriage carrying a distinguished guest of the Hwayang Sangdan. It is said that Hwayang Sangdan formed a joint front with Songpungpyo Bureau and destroyed Heukpungdae for revenge. Of course, neither I nor Cheonwoo Dojo’s activities are known.”

“I think it’s a good ending. That way there will be no trouble and it will be neat.”

“That’s surprising. “I thought you’d be disappointed.”

“I know best that I did not do much in this subjugation battle. “The person who will be disappointed is the Yeon Sohyeop.”

“.......”

It wasn’t particularly disappointing.

The reason I hid my identity and activities was to lay the groundwork for the future.

A young Shin Seong (晨星) happened to have a bad relationship with Heukpungdae and witnessed the hardships the kidnapped women went through while destroying a group of thieves with the Hwayang Sangdan.

Unable to ignore the suffering residents of Zhejiang, he decides to become a righteous enemy.

‘It’s not a bad picture.’

It was a story that luxury lovers would be excited to hear.

Of course, the time when the identity of the righteous enemy was revealed was around the time when I participated in the Yongbong branch and was close to winning.

“.......”

“.......”

A moment of awkward silence passed.

After hesitating for a while, Dojang Cheonwoo opened his mouth with a determined expression.

“Please train me, Yeon Sohyeop.”

“I was already thinking of doing that.”

“I know that Sohyeop hates me. “There is no one outside of the Sohyeop that I can ask for a favor... What did you just say?”

“I said I was already thinking of doing that.”

“......?!”

Tianyu Dojang’s face became blank.

To be honest, I was also surprised.

I never thought he would ask for guidance on his own.

‘I thought you were feeling burdened by the promises you made carelessly, even though you accomplished your mission.’

I thought he was definitely going to avoid me or ask me when he made such a promise.

Of course, if that were the case, I would have beaten him to death and made him fulfill his promise.

‘Has there been any change of heart?’

Maybe he felt something during this large-scale suppression of bandits.

I narrowed my eyes and asked Dojang Cheonwoo.

Dojang Cheonwoo, who instinctively sensed something ominous, took a step back.

“You’re not saying we’re going to start dancing now, are you?”

“You’re quick-witted. Why isn’t there a saying like that? “There is no faster way to learn than learning with your own body.”

“Be honest! “You don’t just want to beat me up!”

“Is that possible? It’s actually annoying to me too. “If it weren’t for the favor I received from Maehwasingeom, I wouldn’t have bothered to take the time to do this.”

“So what on earth did you ask me to do?”

“Based on what I’ve observed so far, it seems like you have extraordinary resilience and durability. “If you have such a clear strength, shouldn’t you use it?”

“Immense Buddha! “I will not take it lightly!”

Dojang Cheonwoo placed his hand on the sword and glared at me with harsh eyes.

I smiled and nodded in satisfaction.

“He is a good person. From now on, I will attack Cheonwoo Dojo from time to time. “When I’m training at the training center, when I’m resting at my dorm, when I’m eating, and even when I’m sleeping.”

“.......”

“Always be alert to your surroundings. “As a humane act, I will watch over you when you go to the bathroom.”

“Are you going to kill me?”

“Shouldn’t we do this to make up for the lack of experience in a short period of time?”

At the same time, let’s relieve some of the anger that has been building up.

In the blink of an eye, I dove into the gap between the Cheonwoo seal and struck down the sword sheath.

Whoops!

Following the strong crash sound, Dojang Cheonwoo’s knees slightly bent.

“Sigh!”

Dojang Cheonwoo immediately kicked up his knees and swung his arms.

The hand holding the scabbard soared into the sky, unable to overcome the repulsion force.

As if he had been waiting, Dojang Cheonwoo raised his left hand and aimed for the abdomen. The next moment, he lowered his head to the ground with a loud groan.

It was because my palm quickly tapped the back of his head in half a beat.

“The number has been read.”

I immediately lowered my right hand holding the sword sheath.

Dojang Cheonwoo let out a sigh and rolled on the floor.

I said, looking back at Cheonwoo Dojang, who was jumping up and straightening his posture.

“When you had a bet with me in Hubei before, you lasted for thirty seconds.”

“......?”

“We will set a standard. That way, the instructor will also be motivated. Thirty seconds per attack. “If you can hold out for thirty seconds, you will be able to escape the situation safely, but if you cannot, you will be severely beaten.”

“What is that?”

“Think ceaselessly. What is lacking and what should be done to improve it. Otherwise, you might really die.”

* * *

Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump!

I swung the sheath and mercilessly struck Cheonwoo Dojang’s back.

Unfortunately, Cheonwoo Dojo could not last thirty seconds and lost the sword from his hand.

“evil! stop!”

Stop it.

Humans grow rapidly when placed in extreme situations.

I learned it during my rolling days in Jamma-dong.

This wasn’t enough to keep Cheonwoo Dojang in a corner.

There was a need to push things more harshly.

‘I feel refreshed inside.’

Of course, it was an undeniable fact that personal feelings were attached to the beating.

There wasn’t much time.

Before winter came, I had to turn Cheonwoo Dojang into a useful handyman.

‘Jihwaja is good!’

The light sound of the strike and the screams of Cheonwoo Dojang alternately rang out in the training hall.
