The Genius Youngest Disciple of the Wudang Sect

Chapter 214

Wudang's Genius Youngest Disciple - Chapter 214

The next day arrived. I introduced Yeon-rang to Maeng Gwang-gae, who had come as early as dawn today.

Maeng Gwang-gae, after taking Yeon-rang and looking him over here and there, let out a small laugh.

"I've seen this child several times already, but I didn't realize he had martial talent. Your eyes seem to be better than I thought."

"To be honest, I also didn't think he would have a talent for martial arts. I just thought he was quick-witted and quick-thinking, so I was thinking of introducing him, but his physique is better than I thought, and his qi and blood are also strong?"

"Hehe. Good. Good. Talented people are always welcome. But, little one."

"Yes, yes! Elder."

"You. Do you know what a beggar's life is like?"

He asked with a mischievous expression.

Since he had asked a child who was only about ten years old about a beggar's life, he seemed to expect a predictable answer.

Because an ordinary child would answer that a beggar is dirty, smelly, and hungry.

"Th-Can I just say what I think?"

"I'm not testing you with this question or anything, so speak comfortably. I'm just asking."

"Ah...! I..."

Yeon-rang, after glancing at me and Maeng Gwang-gae, opened his mouth.

"I think it might be the freest life in the Central Plains."

"What?"

"A life that is not bound by the laws of the world, and not bound by the gazes of people... I think it's that kind of free life."

"That, is that your thought?"

Maeng Gwang-gae suddenly shouted, and Yeon-rang, shrinking his neck, answered, "Yes?"

"I mean, is that a thought you came up with? Are you not just saying something you were taught by someone, or something you heard somewhere, as if it were your own story?"

"N-No. It's just that I used to think that when I saw beggars lying on the street in the middle of the day, basking in the sun and taking a nap..."

Yeon-rang glanced at me again.

Because he couldn't figure out why Maeng Gwang-gae was suddenly angry.

But I know when that kind of reaction comes out.

'It seems he was very pleased with the answer.'

He has a habit of getting angry when people or things don't go as he expects.

The fact that the child's answer was too outstanding than he had thought was the same as things not going as he had expected, so he was getting angry.

"Good. You're right. A life freer than anyone else. That's the life of beggars. I like it very much. I'll have to take you with me myself."

"I-Is that really true?!"

"Instead, can you do the waiter's job here just as you have been until all my work in Zhejiang Province is finished?"

"Of course! If you just accept me, I don't mind doing the waiter's job for another year."

"I'll pass on that. Because the younger you start learning martial arts, the faster your achievements will be."

Maeng Gwang-gae, with a benevolent smile that didn't suit him, continued, "Tsk. I'll have to tell the innkeeper to hire a new waiter quickly. I feel sorry for taking a person away."

He, while grumbling, said he would go to the innkeeper and then disappeared.

I have no doubt that he is smiling a deep smile right now.

"G-Great benefactor! Did I hear you correctly? Are you really taking me with you?"

The title he called me suddenly became 'great benefactor'.

I, with a small laugh, answered him, "You heard correctly. And don't you think I'm too young to be called a great benefactor? Since you've now half-stepped into the martial world, just call me senior as you have been until now."

"Yes, senior!"

"But is it okay if you don't tell your parents? If your son suddenly says he's going to become a beggar of the Beggars' Sect, not another sect, the shock would be quite great."

"Don't worry about that. I don't have parents."

"Huh?"

Yeon-rang said something that was not so with a bright voice, and I, wondering if I had misheard, looked at him.

He, with a face that had not changed at all from a little while ago, said to me, "I haven't had parents since I was very young, when I don't even remember. Someone abandoned me in front of this inn. So the cook here raised me like his adopted son."

"Are you saying that so casually?"

"What's there not to be able to? Just because I'm sad doesn't mean my parents who I don't have will appear."

Since Yeon-rang spoke so cheerfully, I let out a small laugh without my realizing it.

"Then won't the cook be sad? Since he has raised you this much."

"He'll be happy if I, a nuisance, go. Since I'm finding my own way to make a living like this, he'll surely be happy."

"For now, since there are a few more days, talk a lot and think a lot so that you don't have any regrets. Got it?"

"Yes. I will, senior!"

At that moment, Maeng Gwang-gae came out and, after saying that he hadn't finished talking with the innkeeper at once and had promised to talk again later, he took me and left the inn.

"Where are we going today?"

"Thanks to all the commotion you made yesterday, the rumors must have spread as much as they could. So today, we have to go and find the mastermind of this incident."

"The mastermind, you mean the Baek-san Sect?"

"That's right. Let's go to the Baek-san Sect leader today."

Maeng Gwang-gae began to run ahead again.

But his speed is quite different from yesterday.

Yesterday, I had to run with all my might to barely keep up, but today, he is running slowly enough to see the surrounding scenery and feel the wind.

"Elder. Why are you running so slowly today? Is the Baek-san Sect not that far?"

"No? It's much farther than the two places we went to yesterday."

"But is it okay to run this slowly?"

"Of course. It's clear that guys like the Jin-cheong Guild have all run away. And the fact that they haven't run away until now means that they are guys who are prepared to fight you. So there's no need to go in a hurry. And a big reason is also to conserve your stamina."

"My stamina?"

"If my prediction is correct, you're done fighting just once today. You'll have to fight at least two or three times."

"You're planning to go to another place after going to the Baek-san Sect. Like yesterday."

Maeng Gwang-gae, chuckling, said, "No. The impatient guys will already be at the Baek-san Sect. And why do you only think that the guys will be fair and square? If you're unlucky, some of them will attack you in a group and try to kill you. Of course, it won't be easy because of my existence."

"I'd rather that happen. Because it seems it will take quite a long time to take care of the other five."

"If you kill all the guys you fight today, and you just go around looking for the remaining guys for one more day tomorrow, your work will be done. Thanks to you, I was able to shorten the schedule by half compared to my original plan."

After that, we ran for a long time and were able to arrive at a not-so-large manor.

The wall was not that high, and it was a colorless manor that did not use any strong colors like red or yellow, and I immediately noticed where this was.

"This is the Baek-san Sect."

"Yes, the Baek-san Sect. The place where the best hypocrites in Zhejiang Province are."

"Hypocrites..."

"On the outside, they pretend to be scholars. They pretend not to be interested in money and only in writing and books, but in reality, they are guys who love money more than anyone else."

He, after spitting on the ground, continued, "I feel bad when I talk to these guys. Don't get angry in the middle, and you just have to do your role properly."

"My role, you mean the role of the avenger, Unhwi?"

"Yes."

"Don't worry about that. Didn't you see what I did yesterday?"

"Hehe. Yes. It seemed you really had a grudge against the guys. It was a very realistic performance."

In fact, it's not a performance, but because I know how much old man Pa-wang-jang suffered because he beat these guys to death in my previous life, I was really angry, but Maeng Gwang-gae, who can't know that fact, seems to be just thinking that my acting skills are outstanding.

"Then let's go in."

"Yes, Elder."

We boldly entered through the main gate with the plaque of the Baek-san Sect.

But there was not a single person guarding the main gate.

Even the door was open, as if telling us to come in.

"Hehe. It seems the Baek-san Sect leader is very scared."

"Scared?"

"He's putting on a big show right now. The main gate is open, and there's no one guarding it, so it's like saying, 'Come in if you're confident'."

He, after saying that, walked ahead with a swagger, and I also followed him.

After passing through the main gate and walking a little, a rather large open space appeared.

And there, as if all the Baek-san Sect members were there, numerous people were surrounding the open space.

It seems they are telling us to fight there, as they have left only the middle empty.

"Welcome. Maeng Gwang-gae. And of the Hwanho Sect..."

"I'm An Hwi."

"An Hwi."

A person standing in the middle of them, wearing clothes that only scholars would wear, said to us.

The moment I heard his voice, Maeng Gwang-gae's face hardened, so it seemed he was the Baek-san Sect leader.

"Greetings are unnecessary. You know why we came because of what happened yesterday, right? Isn't that why you're having such a loud welcome party?"

"A hero who is avenging the Hwanho Sect... hehe. Maeng Gwang-gae. You've used your head well, haven't you?"

"What?"

"For some reason, I don't think it's a coincidence that that person appeared at this time when there are many people who are causing trouble at our Yellow Sea Seven Tyrants' business establishments recently."

"Say what you want to say straight."

The Baek-san Sect leader, with a nasty expression, wrinkled his nose and then continued, "I suspect that this incident that is happening now is not an incident that the Nine Sects and One Gang are carrying out to keep us in check."

"Tsk. Do you think our Nine Sects and One Gang would care about a gathering of dregs like you?"

"Is that really not the case?"

"Yes. It's not."

Then the Baek-san Sect leader, with a small laugh, said, "Then in this matter, our Elder Maeng Gwang-gae of the Nine Sects and One Gang must absolutely not step in."

"In the first place, I said I wouldn't step into this fight, but didn't you hear that? I will only preside over the spar."

"So it means you really can't intervene."

*Jeo-beok— jeo-beok—*

At the same time as his words ended, two people came forward and stood next to the Baek-san Sect leader.

Maeng Gwang-gae, after confirming the faces of the three, suddenly burst out laughing.

"The one on the left is the Cheon-wang Sect leader, Jeong-gyu. The one in the middle is the Baek-san Sect leader, and the one on the right is the Man-ho Palace master, Bi-jeok-myeong. Where did the other two, the Jin-cheong Guild leader and the Heuk-su Sect leader, go? Aha. One ran away, and the other probably said he wouldn't attack in a group?"

"Hmm..."

The Baek-san Sect leader let out a groan.

It is probably because Maeng Gwang-gae's words were correct.

"Are you going to attack three against one?"

"This is not a spar, but avenging the two of the Yellow Sea Seven Tyrants who were killed. So it means that Elder Maeng Gwang-gae has no room to intervene."

"Haha! You're so shameless with your sophistry. You're avenging the revenge of the Hwanho Sect disciple you destroyed? Hehe, the martial arts comrades of the world will laugh their heads off if they hear this."

Maeng Gwang-gae, after stopping his laughter, looked at the Baek-san Sect leader with cold eyes and said, "That's why I hate you. You hypocrite."

"It doesn't matter what you say. The important thing is the promise not to interfere in our fight."

"Puhaha. Yes. I promise. Although it's a three-on-one fight, I will absolutely not interfere. It's actually a good thing. It was too troublesome to go and find them all, so I can take care of it all at once here."

Maeng Gwang-gae, after saying that, looked back at me, and I, who had been examining their internal energy while he was talking, nodded my head greatly with a confident face.

Although each of them is a leader of the Yellow Sea Seven Tyrants, I was confident that I would never lose to them.
