Chapter 276: Meteor Generation (5)It was already evening by the time I returned to the inn after a ‘fun’ sparring session with Gu Jeolyub.
Seated in the cafeteria were Namgung Bi-ah, who I hadn’t seen ever since we arrived in Henan, and Moyong Hi-ah, who still seemed busy as ever.
Moyong Hi-ah welcomed me as I entered, dragging Gu Jeolyub behind me, while Namgung Bi-ah gave me a stare.
“You came?”
“Yes.”
“Young Master is going to eat as well, right?”
“I am a bit hungry, so I might as well.”
I pulled a seat next to Namgung Bi-ah as I replied and sat down, while Namgung Bi-ah filled an empty cup with water for me as soon as I did.
I drank it and tossed Gu Jeolyub in some random corner.
He’d get up and eat if he was hungry.
In the meantime, I glanced around the inn.
“There aren’t that many people here, huh?”
Just like yesterday, it seemed like we were the only guests here.
Did she perhaps rent out the whole place?
“...Why are you staring at me like that?”
“You are the only one here willing to spend that much money.”
“I didn’t do anything.”
It was a rational guess.
I felt that Moyong Hi-ah was the type to rent out an entire inn.
But if she wasn’t the one who did...
“Then, there’s just no one here?”
Moyong Hi-ah was the person who recommended this inn.
She said that it was a fairly well-known inn and since we were all from noble clans, it wouldn’t be hard to get rooms.
If I was being honest, it probably wouldn’t be that hard for Moyong Hi-ah to rent out the entire place if she wanted to.
It’s pretty strange though,there should be more people in here around this time.
There must’ve been some reason, but since the entrance exam for the Heavenly Dragon Academy would start soon, there should’ve definitely been more people.
It felt strange because of how empty it was.
As we kept chatting with each other while waiting for the food, Namgung Bi-ah, who was pouring tea or water for me...
“...Oh.”
Suddenly looked towards the door and opened her eyes wide.
“Hmm? What’s wro– “
Just as I was about to ask her what was wrong, I also felt the presence of someone.
It was a group of people, but one presence that felt pretty familiar.
As the presence got closer to the inn...
Slam!
“Young Maaaster!”
Someone slammed the door open and rushed in along with the winter breeze.
“Young Masterrrr...!”
As soon as they found me, the person with a bright and cheerful voice came running towards me.
It seemed like they would have jumped right into my arms if Moyong Hi-ah and Namgung Bi-ah hadn’t stopped them.
“Agh!”
The lady who ran into Namgung Bi-ah’s arms unintentionally, looked at me with a dissatisfied expression, but they kept blocking her.
Then, Moyong Hi-ah spoke while staring at the lady who had just appeared.
“How can a full-grown lady like you try to hug him? Restrain yourself.”
Moyong Hi-ah let out a sigh and opened her fan, and the lady spoke angrily to Namgung Bi-ah, who was hugging her.
“Sis, even though it’s been a while since we last met, are you really going to be mean like this?”
“Even so... it’s a no.”
“...So cruel.”
Her green eyes had become denser than before and her dark green hair, which used to reach down to her shoulders, now reached her chest..
Then, as the lady met my gaze and she blushed as she put on a bright smile.
“Young Master... It’s been a while. I really wanted to see you ...!”
“...Uh, right. It has indeed been a while.”
I almost took a step back due to the bright and dense emotion she displayed.
Looking a bit taller and much more mature compared to back then, she was the treasure of the Poison King, the precious child of the Tang Clan of Sichuan, the Poison Phoenix, Tang Soyeol.
It had been a little more than a year since we last met.
Compared to when I last saw Tang Soyeol...
She’s grown.
That was what I felt.
It was a rather brief analysis, but just as I said, Tang Soyeol seemed much more mature than before.
And because she was older than me, she was like this back then as well but now, she looked like a full-grown adult.
Perhaps it was because she had grown her hair longer?
Also, because of how cheerful she was, I was welcoming of Tang Soyeol as well.
After sneaking up to me, Tang Soyeol asked me a question.
“Did you read all the letters I sent you?”
“I read them all.”
“Oh really!?”
Tang Soyeol opened her eyes wide as if she was touched.
It was amusing to see her already big eyes becoming even bigger.
“Then why didn’t you reply...?”
Oh.
