Absolute Sword Sense

[Episode 100: We Met (3)]

“Confucius.”

As expected, Sima Ying was right.

His voice is colder than usual.

Judging by the harsh look in her eyes as she looked at Seolbaek, it seems like she misunderstood.

Moreover, even my father-in-law, who was wearing a good-looking middle-aged bastard, looked at me with disapproval.

But that was only for a moment, and my father-in-law's eyes turned not to me, but to Seolbaek.

My father-in-law frowned.

I think I realized that even though I was conserving my energy, I was a master at cutting corners.

“Who on earth is this little guy, who is coming from outside...”

Sima Ying pointed at me with his eyes and was about to say something, but my father-in-law put out his hand and signaled for him to stop.

“father?”

Sima Ying, who had no idea what was going on, could not hide his wonder.

Anyway, my father-in-law looked at Seolbaek and spoke in a voice full of doubt.

“Who is it?”

It was a question with many implications.

At that question, Seolbaek glanced at me.

I warned you again and again.

[I'll tell you, so don't say anything.]

If she says something wrong, it will get worse.

I'm seriously starting to get a headache.

A situation is happening where Yeongyeong, Simayeong's father-in-law, and even Seolbaek gather in one place.

If we don't solve this problem well, it will be a complicated situation.

At that time, Sima Ying spoke as if he could not understand.

“Father, why are you doing this?”

“She is not an ordinary woman.”

“What is that?”

“I went over the wall. no. “It might be more than that.”

“yes?”

Sima Ying’s eyes widened at his father-in-law’s words.

Yeongyoung was equally surprised.

[Brother, what does this mean? Sister Wiji overcame the wall?]

Even so, in the midst of confusion upon seeing Wolakgeom Samachak, one of the five great evildoers, such a great expert mentions that Seolbaek is the expert who overcame the wall.

‘I can't believe you recognized it right away.'

As expected, he seemed to have completely regained his energy after eating the summoned dan.

I have to reveal her identity, but I can't say anything easily.

Seolbaek was the one who seriously injured his father-in-law.

Thanks to you, I went through a lot of hardships, including being imprisoned in the Shaolin Temple.

Even so, her father-in-law talked about what happened at that time and emphasized several times that if he ever saw her again, he would repay her debt.

-You need to speak well.

It will happen even if you don't say so.

As expected, I should talk about the part that needs to be solved first.

“My father-in-law, young child. “I will explain what is going on, so I hope there are no unnecessary misunderstandings.”

“Are you mistaken?”

In response to Sima Ying’s question, I pointed at Xue Bai with my eyes.

Sima Ying looked at her suspiciously, then nodded as if he believed me.

My father-in-law asked, still not letting his guard down from her.

“Tell me who it is first.”

“She is one of Geumsangje’s confidants.”

“Geumsangje’s henchman?”

“yes?”

The father and daughter were surprised by my words.

He may have been considered an extraordinary person because he was an expert who had overcome the wall, but he would not have guessed that he was a subordinate of Geumsangje.

“Golden Sangje?”

Yeongyeong asked back as if he didn’t understand what was happening.

To Yeongyeong, the name Geumsangje will only be remembered as a tyrant who devastated the martial arts world in the past.

Sima Ying, who was surprised at that time, said to me.

“What on earth happened that Jin Sangje’s henchman is with Confucius?”

You need to speak well here.

I looked at my father-in-law and spoke cautiously.

“Father-in-law. First of all, I want you to know that she is now under Geumsangje and has made a deal with me.”

My father-in-law frowned at my words and said,

“Why are you talking to me like that? “You’re talking as if I’m going to mess with this woman.”

As expected, he is very perceptive.

But if you don't say this in advance, you never know what might happen.

Sima Ying looked at her and asked me.

“Then did this Sojeo betray Geumsangje?”

“I quit, but if it were a betrayal, it could be a betrayal.”

Seolbaek answered her question casually.

I glared at Seolbaek and shook my head.

It was a signal not to speak.

My father-in-law, who was looking at me with suspicion, turned his head to her and asked.

“I guess I’ll have to hear it from you directly.”

“Father-in-law, I...”

“No. “I guess I’ll have to ask her directly what she’s hiding that keeps her from talking.”

“Please listen to my story first....”

“What kind of deal did you have with my son-in-law that makes you want to explain it like that?”

To this she said nothing.

He shrugged his shoulders and pointed at me, as if to show that he was keeping his promise to me.

At this, my father-in-law looked at me and said.

“Tell her to speak directly. “Don’t even think about giving instructions by voice.”

“Father-in-law. “Are you saying you don’t trust me?”

“Believe. “But I need to know what you’re trying to hide.”

“I don’t hide it. “I will tell you everything.”

“Then wouldn’t it be okay to hear it directly from this woman’s mouth?”

........Going crazy.

I think they're doing this because they want me to adapt it.

I overlooked the fact that my father-in-law was smarter than most people.

It is not for nothing that it is called the equivalent of the 10,000 beats in martial arts.

“Words are very different. “I am afraid that what she says may cause misunderstanding in my father-in-law.”

“Do I seem so narrow-minded that I would not trust someone I recognized as my son-in-law rather than someone who was my enemy?”

“.......no.”

“If you do, I will ask you directly.”

After saying this, I couldn't help it.

At this, I looked at Seolbaek and nodded.

Of course, he warned me with his eyes not to say anything that might cause misunderstanding.

I don't know if you understand.

‘!?'

But Seolbaek was giving me a strange look.

There is something ominous about the corners of the mouth being raised.

He looks happy, as if he has caught my weakness.

‘Ah...'

my father-in-law, who didn't know what I was thinking, asked her.

“What did you deal with your son-in-law?”

“He said that if I give him what I want, he will come under Geumsangje and tell me everything he knows about him.”

“hmm.”

At her words, my father-in-law stroked her chin.

There's nothing too strange up to this point.

My father-in-law asked.

“If you were a confidant, your loyalty would not be broken if it was just a transaction. But what on earth did you trade that made you decide to betray?”

She smiled and said in response to her father-in-law’s question.

“I didn’t follow him out of loyalty.”

“It’s not loyalty?”

“I made a deal with him, and I only did it because I thought that if I stayed with him, I would be able to meet the person I wanted to meet again.”

“Who did you want to meet?”

At her words, my father-in-law frowned and looked at me.

Because Seolbaek’s eyes turned to me with those words.

Sima Ying asked as if he didn’t understand.

“You are speaking as if you knew Confucius?”

“We had a relationship about 300 years ago.”

Sima Ying looked at me in surprise at her words.

iced coffee. My head hurts.

When I was telling a story about 300 years ago, I intentionally didn't say anything that could be problematic about Seolbaek, but it came back as an arrow like this.

But this wasn't the problem.

-Gooooo!

Suddenly, a strong sense of death flowed from my father-in-law.

The life was weighing heavily on the room, and Yeongyeong became contemplative, as if his breathing was blocked, and he could not breathe properly.

“Father-in-law!”

In response to my words, my father-in-law held out his hand and spoke to Seolbaek in a cold voice, signaling him not to interfere.

“Three hundred years ago. “You are snow white.”

Ahhh.

I finally deduced her identity.

Even if I didn't reveal it directly, I could quickly figure it out with just a few things.

“Now I understand why my son-in-law was so concerned about telling me your identity.”

My father-in-law's energy was sharp enough to use his hands on her right away.

She must have felt this as well, as a chill slowly trickled out of her body.

As the room became colder, my father-in-law's eyes became even colder.

I guess I remembered the time when I was injured.

“Father-in-law. I understand how you feel, but this is the Martial Arts Federation. Here with her...”

Before he could finish speaking, Seolbaek suddenly turned his body back.

Then he turned his back to his father-in-law and said,

“Even though we received an order, it doesn’t seem like it will end with an apology. Injure me the same way.”

“............”

At Seolbaek’s words, a wrinkle appeared between my father-in-law’s eyebrows.

I guess he didn't know that she would give up her back and come in first.

My father-in-law looked at her in silence as she showed her back, then gave up on living and exhaled a long breath as if to drown out his anger.

“What happened to Dugong and Seobok?”

I was worried that things would escalate, but I’m glad.

Contrary to my expectations, my father-in-law calmly controlled his anger.

If she hadn't come out like this, there could have been a different outcome, but for now, we both handled it wisely.

“It is in His hands.”

“Are you alive?”

“okay.”

At her answer, my father-in-law's face softened.

He said he was a close friend, but he must have been worried about his life or death.

My relieved father-in-law asked her.

“Where are they?”

Seolbaek answered that question by shaking his head.

“I can not know.”

“what?”

My father-in-law's calmed face became scary again.

Still, she said as if there was nothing she could do.

“Their details are managed by him and the leader, so I don’t know either.”

“Then shouldn’t you know where Geum Sang-je and that guy named Noejang are?”

“There is a way to communicate with some of the safe houses where they usually stay.”

“If you do it, tell me.”

Seolbaek flatly refused his father-in-law’s words.

“I can’t do that.”

-Gooooooo!

As soon as her rejection was over, life surged from my father-in-law's body again.

This time, unlike before, he really looks like he's going to use his hands right away.

“If you don’t speak up, you will die.”

Before I knew it, my father-in-law's hand was pointing toward the sword soldier.

At this distance, he could have cut off her head in one fell swoop.

So I hurriedly intervened between them.

“Please calm down, father-in-law.”

“Get out of the way. All you have to do is get this girl to open her mouth.”

It seems that my father-in-law is planning to force her to open her mouth.

But if I was going to make him open like that, I would have made Seolbaek open his mouth right away too.

“Father-in-law, listen to me first.....”

“I told you to get out of the way!”

At that time, an iron ball was shot like a cannonball from my father-in-law's left hand.

It was tanjishintong (脂神通).

It was aimed at Seolbaek's shoulder as a surprise attack, but I easily caught it.

-Park!

In the past, the force of the rotating iron ball would have hurt my palm, but now I could have broken it instead of just stopping it.

Broken iron powder flowed from the clenched fist.

My father-in-law's eyes narrowed when he saw this.

He seemed surprised on the inside.

But it didn't last long because I had already seen my inaction at the Shaolin Temple.

My father-in-law told me.

“Why are you disturbing me?”

“Even if she dies, she won’t open her mouth.”

“How can you guarantee that?”

“We already inflicted serious injuries on him and tried to cut his throat, but he wouldn’t open his mouth.”

My father-in-law snorted at my words and said,

“joy! “Wouldn’t it be a good idea to check whether you have the talent to withstand torture?”

My father-in-law was stubborn.

At that time, Seolbaek spoke to his father-in-law.

“If you give me what I want according to the deal, I can tell you right away.”

“What do you want? “What is that?”

I was embarrassed and tried to tell my father-in-law.

“Because of her special constitution.....”

“I want to marry this man and have children.”

‘!!!'

Even before I finished speaking, the words that came out of Seolbaek's mouth instantly filled the room with silence.

The words I had tried to say beforehand in my head were scattered in vain.

‘I couldn't have children because of my constitution, so I wanted to introduce her to King Gyeong, who suffers from solar arrhythmia...'

She overturned all of this with just a few words.

“under!”

Even my father-in-law was astounded at the absurdity of the terms of the transaction when something unexpected came out.

Sima Ying's face turned bright red and eventually exploded.

“You just said that.....”

“I kept saying this, but this man was so foolish.”

“what?”

“He said he would only love you, his betrothed.”

Sima Ying's face, who was about to explode and get angry at her words, turned red.

Then, his eyes looking at me became much softer.

What did this woman suddenly eat wrong?

I don't know why he suddenly changed his attitude.

While I was wondering, I couldn't help but frown when I saw her face.

Seolbaek’s eyes turned red and tears flowed.

‘Huh?'

When the flowing tears touched my cold skin, they turned into ice cubes and fell with a grunt on the floor.

Everyone was puzzled and surprised at the same time at the sight.

“Why are you crying all of a sudden?”

In response to Sima Ying’s question, Xue Bai spoke in a pitiful voice.

“We, the people of the North Sea Ice Palace, have learned martial arts filled with chills and have developed a constitution of the Heavenly Yin Retardation, and all of that has been cut off. “Because of this cursed constitution, as you can see, even my flowing tears freeze and no one can even touch me.”

“You can’t touch it?”

“okay. I have never even properly felt another person's body temperature. “If I die like this, the North Sea Ice Palace will be completely deprived of its benefits.”

‘.......'

At that moment, I was dumbfounded.

Could it be that this woman is appealing to emotions right now?

Contrary to how he tried to seduce me, he was deliberately showing a weak appearance in front of my father-in-law and Sima Young.

Sima Ying said with a frown.

“What does that have to do with you, Confucius?”

“I don’t know if it’s this man’s constitution or his martial arts skills, but he can touch me.”

After hearing Xue Bai’s words, Sima Ying glanced at me and said.

“Confucius, no way...”

“I touched her while subduing her over 300 years ago, but I didn’t do anything.”

I can't tell you that I kissed him out of nowhere because I was so stabbed.

Following my words, Seolbaek spoke.

“I have been looking for a man like this my whole life. “Someone who can save the life of the North Sea Ice Palace and make me feel the warmth of others.”

My father-in-law, who had been silent at these words, intervened.

“Why not just give up the cold?”

“How can we revive the North Sea Ice Palace if we give up martial arts?”

My father-in-law made no reply to her words.

It seemed like he was convinced that he could not give up martial arts in order to rebuild a school.

So I didn't miss the opportunity and spoke.

“My father-in-law, so even if it wasn’t me, I looked for a replacement who could meet her needs. So I introduced her to her and promised to get information about Geumsangje from her.”

Hearing my words, Seolbaek looked at me pitifully and said,

“no. I can't do anything without you. “Better kill me.”

I was shocked by her words.

“Isn’t the story different?”

“It was to buy me time to please you, but now I can’t do that. “The person you love so much has come.”

I guess I let my guard down.

It looks like this woman is about to end things here.

He did not miss this opportunity and made a decisive move.

[Do you think this method will work?]

[Well, I don’t know. Who knows if my heart will weaken?]

Ha! I also acted.

Have you seen a fox like this?

[Why are you doing this?]

[I told you. I like you.]

Is it so much that I risk my life?

But I didn't know much about my father-in-law and Sima Young.

Having lived as a villain or the daughter of a villain, they were not gentle enough to fall for something that appealed to these emotions.

Moreover, my father-in-law has only loved one woman his whole life, so he will not let go.

Her decision to win could be said to be self-defeating.

At that time, my father-in-law opened his mouth.

“This...I will leave it up to my daughter to decide.”

“yes?”

For a moment, I was surprised and asked a question.

I never imagined that such words would come out of my father-in-law's mouth.

On the contrary, I thought that she was mocking me and that she was going to somehow make something about Jinsangje come out of her mouth, but she was going to follow Sima Ying's decision?

I couldn't understand what was happening, but my father-in-law spoke to Sima Ying in a cool voice.

“This father thinks that if you are going to give up or kill a world-class expert who has surpassed the barrier of superhumanity to someone else, it is not a bad idea to formally place him under you.”

.......Are my ears wrong?

After handing over the decision-making power, he spoke quite positively, not negatively.

My father-in-law is not like this.

But Sima Ying’s next words confused me even more.

My father-in-law seemed to be thinking about something and said,

“Confucius. “No matter what happens, I come first, right?”

“That’s natural...”

“Then that’s enough. “I’ll accept it because Confucius didn’t give a damn about me.”

“what?”

“you. “Did you say snow white?”

“that's right.”

“If you want to be Confucius’ wife, I am your older sister. If you can’t accept it, just die right here.”

.....I guess I didn't know this father and daughter very well.
