Childhood Friend of the Zenith - Chapter 189

Chapter 189: An Unsatisfactory Act (4)

An Unsatisfactory Act (4)

A week had passed since our departure from Hanam to return to Shanxi.

And as always, such long journeys tended to be monotonous.

Today was no exception.

During the day, I either slept using Wi Seol-Ah or Namgung Bi-ahs knees as pillows, or I spent my time fooling around.

And that fooling around was mostly me bullying Gu Jeolyub.

That was one of the only fun things to do here.

And when it became evening, the horses needed to take a break, and I spent my time training in this part of the day.

Namgung Bi-ah also engaged in training, albeit alone, indicating her dedication to enlightenment.

Tang Soyeol also seemed like she was going to train, but it was more of her spectating from afar than training.

So in the end, I only had Muyeon to train with, and Gu Jeolyub to bully around.

Lame.



[You always seek peace, but now youre saying youre bored.]

How could you call this peace? This is definitely more of a torture

The carriages continued endlessly toward Shanxi.

The forested terrain and obstructing mountains only added to the journeys sluggish pace.

Young Master! Ahhh!

I opened my mouth after hearing Wi Seol-Ah.

Then, a yakgwa entered my mouth.

Its sweet.

Although I wished she would stop feeding me, I refrained from saying anything and chewed on the yakgwa.

After all, Wi Seol-Ah only put yakgwa in her mouth only after I did.

Shes been quite persistent about feeding me lately.

Wi Seol-Ah might not be greedy for most things, but when it came to food, she exhibited a different side.

But for some reason, it felt like she was trying to get me to gain more weight.

Even though thats what Im trying to do.

I was diligently working to help Wi Seol-Ah regain the cheek fat she had lost and she shouldnt be losing any weight with the amount she ate every day.

But strangely, Wi Seol-Ah was still gradually losing weight.

While I, on the other hand, was steadily gaining due to her constant feeding.

Why?

Hmm? Whats up?

Nothing. Continue eating.

Wi Seol-Ah grabbed one more yakgwa and ate it after hearing my response.

After observing her, I closed my eyes.REaad updated stories at n/o/vel/bin(.)com

[What do you think?]

Then, Elder Shin suddenly asked.

About what?

[Im asking about why you have your senses enhanced despite you saying youre bored all the time. What do you think about those guys?]

I sighed within my mind after hearing Elder Shin.

Ive been bothered by them ever since.

I wonder how long theyll chase me for.

It had already been one week.

Some unknown guys began following our carriages from a distance.

I wonder who they are.

The list of potential pursuers was extensive, posing a problem.

The possibility of people following me because I put up a good show in the tournament seemed the most likely, but I felt like that wasnt really the case.

I was watching them for now, because they showed no signs of attacking.

However, after a week, my patience was wearing thin.

[You wouldve beaten them up right away if it were the usual you, but you held back for quite some time.]

Its not just one or two troubles I caused recently, so Ive been trying my best to hold back.

And more than anything, it was because something felt strange.

It was weirdly a familiar feeling.

It seems like they are going to start doing something, so today is the last day of me watching.

Hmm? What did you say, Young Master?

Huh thats something Elder Shin always says.

After being reminded that this was something Elder Shin often said, I stopped myself.

Having the same thought as this pent-up old man wasnt something I could afford to let happen.

[Pent u- What did you say, you little shit?]

Putting aside Gu Jeolyub, I couldnt even find Muyeon. Did he leave for patrol?

I hope that he doesnt go too far.

I knew that Muyeon would always be on guard if I told him that some people were following us.

And I also knew how things would go after that if Muyeon ever came across them.

However, I thought it was right for me to tell him a little at this point.

Ill be back.

Have a safe trip!

I was thinking of going to Muyeon rather than Gu Jeolyub, who had run away.

I enveloped my body in Qi and observed the forest.

Other escorts from the Gu Clan were positioned not too far away from me.

And Muyeon, out of these escorts

Where is he?

For some reason, he wasnt around. I couldnt find him even after sharpening my senses this much?

I found it strange, so I was about to investigate. But right as I was about to use more Qi

Young Master.

Muyeons voice came from behind me.

When I turned my head toward the voice, Muyeon really was there.

Young Master, how come you are here right now?

Hmm.

Muyeon spoke to me in a curious tone, but I only observed his body and didnt respond.

Young Master?

I see.

Muyeon started to come toward me with a worried expression

But I launched my fist at him.

Pow!

Ugh!

Qi exploded in the air, making an impactful sound.

Muyeon made a shocked expression after barely managing to dodge my surprise attack.

Young Master! What are you!

How fascinating. So you could use martial skills. The bastard I met last time didnt seem like he could.

What are you saying!

After loosening up my body, I increased my speed, but I didnt summon any flames.

It was because I didnt want others to come.

Muyeon attempted to draw his sword amidst my continuous attacks, but his weapon was sent flying with my fist.

Crack.

And Muyeon collapsed to the floor as his legs broke from my kick.

Agh Ooup!

I grabbed Muyeons mouth to stifle any screams.

He still continued to look at me, seemingly unable to comprehend what was happening.

And his eyes displayed a mix of fear, betrayal, frustration, and more.

Yet, even so, my gaze remained indifferent.

Of course, it had to.

I wondered why you guys were following me for the past few days, but I guess it was for you to do this. How pointless.

Ug Ough!

The bastard that was still putting up an act really seemed like Muyeon from the outside, but my eyes discerned the red light lingering around his body.

It was the same energy that the bastard with Heeyoungs appearance had.

And this could only mean one thing.

This wasnt Muyeon.
