I Ended Up Becoming The Heavenly Demon’s True Best Friend, Even Though He’s Shy Around Others

Chapter 68

Even the Danli family wouldn't be able to just pretend not to know, and now it felt like he had to take care of the Baek family as well.

He had thought about it to some extent since he had been close to Baek Yuhwa, but he hadn't known that all the leaders would support and push him so completely, and he even felt a little overwhelmed.

"No matter how much he is the Sect Leader, he can't ask for a married woman to be his wife, so this matter should not be delayed any longer. Even if you have a grand wedding ceremony later, for now, have a simple wedding."

If Ya Socheong hadn't liked Baek Yuhwa very much, he wouldn't have gotten married as if he were being pushed, but it was also an important matter for Baek Yuhwa's safety.

"I understand. I will do so."

It seemed that life was truly unpredictable.

Did Jinmu even imagine that because he had impersonated Ya Socheong and attacked the Baek family, the wedding of Ya Socheong and Baek Yuhwa would be moved up so quickly?

And what about the Heavenly Demon?

Could he even imagine what was being planned due to his own scheme?

* * *

The wedding ceremony was truly simple.

There were other reasons, but Ya Socheong thought that it was not right for the junior brothers of the Nether Shadow Faction not to see his wedding ceremony.

That's why he decided to leave the formal wedding ceremony for that time.

Another characteristic of the wedding ceremony was that there were two brides.

Ya Socheong knew Pae Maling's heart, and he himself also cherished her greatly.

He had seen her for so long that it was not easy to distinguish it from the feeling of cherishing his own younger sister, but he could not pretend not to know that Pae Maling liked him.

In any case, even if they had a wedding ceremony, he wouldn't be able to spend the first night with the two of them right away.

Ya Socheong sat facing the two of them and promised that he would cherish them a lot in the future.

Baek Yuhwa was grateful that Ya Socheong had pushed through with their wedding, risking a confrontation with the Sect Leader, and Pae Maling was grateful that he had remembered her while preparing for his wedding with Baek Yuhwa.

Baek Yuhwa cherished the young Pae Maling like a younger sister, and Pae Maling followed Baek Yuhwa like an older sister.

As a result, Ya Socheong had gained the two great forces of the Baek family and the Danli family at the same time.

Ya Socheong knew that Jinmu was originally an incredibly ugly man.

The reason Jinmu had shown such a remarkable talent in disguise was partly due to his outstanding talent, but it was largely something he had achieved through effort.

Since he had been ridiculed for his ugly face since he was young, disguise was almost the only escape for Jinmu.

Not only was Jinmu's face ugly, but the medicine he had taken when he was young had caused side effects, and to make matters worse, the bee sting he had received had gone wrong.

It was known that Jinmu's disguise was only possible for half a shichen, but that was not an accurate story.

In fact, Jinmu was always using a disguise.

He was extremely reluctant to show his true face to others, so he never removed his disguise.

That's why he was using a disguise on top of a disguised face.

The face that Jinmu was using as his own was a face he had been wearing as a mask for a very long time, so he didn't have to put much effort into maintaining it, but other faces were not like that.

So there was a time limit to maintaining other faces.

Ya Socheong thought that Jinmu could put him in a difficult situation again at any time using his talent.

Jinmu would say that it couldn't be helped since it was the Sect Leader's order, but from the perspective of the one who was being subjected to it, it was no small matter of embarrassment.

Wasn't it a matter of breaking the trust between people?

Ya Socheong, who had discussed for a long time with the family head of the Baek family about how to solve that problem, eventually returned to his quarters without finding a solution.

'That Jinmu used to go to the brothel as if it were his second home. To enjoy the sight of the people who had screamed that his face was disgusting throwing themselves at him when they saw his handsome face.'

Ya Socheong's thoughts suddenly reached that point.

Would Jinmu have gone back right away after completing his mission here?

If Jinmu, who liked brothels and courtesans, had gone to a famous brothel, wouldn't he have wanted to hold a famous courtesan in his arms?

In fact, in the novel, whenever Jinmu finished a job, he would go to a brothel and get dead drunk in the arms of a courtesan until late at night before leaving.

Ya Socheong, thinking that it was worth a try, was about to leave his quarters, but he came back and took his poisonous creatures.

Then he even took a poisonous snake that he usually didn't carry around.

This time, it might be better to solve it quietly like this.

* * *

The front of the brothel was bustling with people even before the sun had set.

He was also curious about what kind of people came here, while some people lived without even being able to imagine such leisure.

But since he had no time to leisurely find that out, for now, he decided to find out where Jinmu was and whether he was actually staying here.

Ya Socheong, after watching a person who worked in and out of the brothel, quietly approached him.

He glanced at Ya Socheong, who had suddenly approached him, as if he were strange, but when Ya Socheong slipped him two silver coins, he immediately took them.

Ya Socheong, realizing that the deal had been made, gave a nod.

At that, he followed Ya Socheong.

"What do you want, young master?"

"I would like you to find out if the person I am looking for is inside. If you just find out where he is, I will take care of the rest."

Ya Socheong was wearing a human-skin mask, and he must have known that that was not Ya Socheong's real face.

Although he knew well that a person who gave such an order without even showing his face was not upright, he nodded.

"Please tell me. I have a very good eye for things."

"Since he is a person who can use a disguise, you won't be able to recognize him by just describing his face. But his original face is very ugly, and he was ignored by people because of his ugly face since he was young."

"Ah."

It was a vague statement, but it seemed to have stimulated his interest.

"So he came here to use his disguise skills now that he can? That would be a great revenge. If I could use a disguise, I would change my face to be incredibly handsome and go to the most beautiful courtesans and flirt with them to my heart's content. In that case, I wouldn't have to pay a lot of money, and the courtesans would be clamoring to serve me. I know exactly one such person."

Even after hearing those words, Ya Socheong was bewildered, wondering if he had heard correctly.

He had not thought that things would go so well.

"Is that really true?"

"Yes, he came yesterday and he came again today. I also looked at him carefully, wondering how a man could be so handsome. But so that's what it was. There was nothing to fault in his face, but his hands were not as handsome as his face. So seeing that, I thought that there must be no perfect person in the world. But a disguised face, now I understand."

He was a man with a truly extraordinary eye for things.

"If you go inside, there are two large buildings, and if you pass them, a new building with a backyard will appear. He is there on the fourth floor with a courtesan named Hyangya. It's the third room from the right when you go up to the fourth floor."

He wondered how he knew all that, and he pointed to his chest and said.

"I am the one who supplies the alcohol here. So I know the courtesans very well. I give them alcohol and personally do business, asking them to attract a lot of customers. Since people's money doesn't just gush out, people who find it burdensome to come to the brothel every time also come to the tavern."

Ya Socheong thought that he was a very interesting person.

He probably hadn't thought of that as a great ability usually, but he was maximizing his profits by utilizing what he could do in the place where he was.

And he also earned this side income using his great eye for things.

"Thank you. I will give you a reward later."

"You must do so. If you come to our tavern, we will treat you well."

"Which tavern is it?"

At that, he grinned.

"There is only one tavern in this area."

Come to think of it, it seemed that he had said that without saying the name of the tavern from the beginning to test him.

It seemed that he had thought that if he had no intention of really giving a reward, he wouldn't bother to ask for the name of the tavern again.

Ya Socheong looked at the hand that was revealed below his sleeve.

He was a person who remembered that Jinmu's hands were ugly after seeing them.

Although Ya Socheong himself was wearing a human-skin mask, he had not thought of hiding his hands.

"I look forward to being able to see your face someday, young master. Seeing the calluses on the young man's hands, it seems that he is a person who will become something no matter what. It seems that you will be a person who will rise to a high position in the future. If a big banquet is held, you must order the alcohol from our tavern."

Then he laughed loudly.

Ya Socheong, liking him, nodded.

If he was a person who could think of such things, it seemed that he would not go around blabbing that a suspicious person had come looking for Jinmu.

In any case, he would not be able to do so.

If a rumor spread that the person whose whereabouts he had told had met with a mishap.

Ya Socheong went to the main gate of the brothel and naturally went inside.

Since the clothes he was wearing were quite luxurious, no one stopped him.

Ya Socheong went straight to find Jinmu as the man from the tavern had told him.

And there, he found the courtesan named Hyangya and Jinmu.

He had killed his presence and used his stealth technique to enter, so the two of them were still unaware that Ya Socheong had secretly entered the place.

At first, he had only been vaguely envious when he had seen his master, Yeon Cheongha, use his stealth technique, but at some point, Ya Socheong's stealth technique had far surpassed Yeon Cheongha's.

Yeon Cheongha himself had even said so.

So the two people in that room now were about to meet with a mishap without even knowing how they were being subjected to it.

Jinmu was playing messily, hugging Hyangya and drinking, and Hyangya was giggling, admiring Jinmu's handsome face.

Ya Socheong only had business with Jinmu, and there was no reason to hurt Hyangya as well.

So after thinking for a moment, he sent a centipede to Hyangya's feet.

It was a position that was easy to see from where Hyangya was, but it was not immediately visible to Jinmu.

Hyangya, seeing that, was surprised and screamed.

"Oh my! It's a centipede!"

But there was no way that the centipede that had been trained by Ya Socheong would just stay still.
