Episode 103: Everyone has a story.
The place where our carriage arrived was Qianhualou, the most famous building in Guizhou.
In reality, it was not a famous place because it had a thousand gisaengs, but rather a place famous for being expensive.
Indeed, dozens of luxurious carriages were parked in the large yard of Cheonhwaru.
The joke that you can meet all the rich people in Guizhou at Cheonhwaru seems to be no joke.
We continued onwards in the carriage. As expected of a large fort, there were quite skilled warriors stationed all over the place, and those guarding the innermost inner courtyard were among the best.
“Are you here to play or to work?”
The evil Soma answered my question as if it were a given.
“Aren’t you coming to Kiru to play?”
“Can I play at the key location of the evil song?”
The evil Soma was startled by my words.
“What are you talking about?”
“The skills of the ambush drones are extraordinary.”
A strange look flashed through the eyes of the evil soma in his eye socket. He wondered if there was anything more surprising, but the surprise continued to pile up.
In the end, the evil Soma admitted the truth.
“People tend to become lighter when they drink.”
Through this Cheonhwaru, the evil Soma was obtaining various information about the Central Plains. This place is no different from the external base of the evil valley.
“Wouldn’t the quality of information change with money?”
At my words, the evil Soma just laughed habitually and didn’t tell me any details about it.
Since it is a place where people in high positions in the martial arts world or the elite often visit, a lot of important information will be collected. That is how important this place is to the evil Soma. Instead, he said this.
“Let me tell you something surprising. The income here is greater than that of the top of the Daeho I saw the other day.”
“I didn’t know it would be that bad.”
While we were talking, the carriage stopped in front of the innermost building.
Judging by the absence of any carriages, this place did not appear to be a place for regular customers.
The evil soma descended, and I also followed after him, wearing a mask.
As I waited for a moment in the ornately decorated room, a slender woman came in. She was so heavily made up that I couldn’t tell her exact age, but she had a strange aura about her.
“Welcome, brother.”
The moment I heard that, I laughed out loud.
“Why are you laughing?”
“Because the evil Soma is in a historical position where he is called Orabeoni.”
The woman looked at me cautiously and asked.
“I haven’t seen you in a while.”
She was quick-witted and must have guessed that I was not ordinary from the way I treated the evil soma so casually. This might be the first time anyone has casually mentioned the evil soma in front of her.
She was the first to greet me politely and introduce herself.
“It is said that Yeojeong is in charge of Cheonhwaru.”
Cheonhwaruju’s journey (Lu Jing).
I know her well.
She secretly operated not only Cheonhwaru but also dozens of Giru throughout the Central Plains. Her dream was to become the Empress of the Night who ruled over all men in the Central Plains.
Just by looking at the way she deals with the extremely dangerous man known as the Evil Soma, you can see how great her ambitions are.
I pulled my mask up over my head and greeted her.
“My name is Geommugeuk.”
Cheonhwaruju was surprised. She knew who I was just by hearing my name. She must have been even more certain because of the evil soma that came with her.
“A truly noble person has arrived.”
She bowed on the spot. It could be that she recognized me, but it was a very clever way of dealing with the world that she bowed like this the moment she recognized me.
“You may be the person I see today and disappear forever.”
She smiled at my joke that I wouldn’t be able to see her if I lost the fight for succession.
“On the other hand, you could rule this martial arts world for a hundred years.”
The evil Soma said cheerfully.
“Now, let’s prepare the table nicely. And today, I’m going to teach our scholar-official what beauty is, so eat as you please.”
“Yes, let’s talk for a moment.”
As she left, the evil Soma asked with a smile.
“Just looking at Rouge, can’t you imagine how many beauties there will be here?”
“I’m really looking forward to it.”
“Really? I don’t think a scholar like Lee would reveal his s*xuality.”
“No. I like women too. What man would hate women?”
“Let’s go and see.”
Then, the evil Soma looked at Ian, who was standing in front of the door with Cheongmyeon.
I can feel his will. That annoying will that wants to hear from my mouth that Ian is not pretty.
‘It won’t be easy.’
The table was set first.
It was a table for entertaining the best guests at the highest level of cuisine, so it was filled with expensive and precious dishes.
I said to the evil Soma.
“Can we come and have a bite of your heart? I don’t think you two will eat it anyway.”
“Yes, that’s right.”
Ian, standing at the door, made a face as if he didn’t really need to do that, but I was already waving at her.
Ian came and sat down next to me and sent a message.
-Your Majesty! Do you think you can eat at the same table as the evil Soma?
-There are too many things you like to give up.

-That’s true, though.
-Even if you die, you will still eat and become a dead ghost.
I picked up my chopsticks and spoke to the evil Soma.
“Okay, let’s eat first.”
Ian also started eating his food with the mindset that it had already turned out this way.
Ian did not regret this choice.
“It’s delicious. How can everything be so delicious?”
“Let’s kidnap Sook-soo here. Sook-soo Im has gotten older and is not in good health these days.”
“Im Sook-soo, you’ll be upset if you hear that.”
“My tongue is also upset.”
“Hold on! And you’re drinking at the pub you frequent these days. When are you going to abandon the owner there?”
“What if the food starts to get salty?”
“young master!”
The evil soma and Cheongmyeon were silently watching our casual conversation.
We have the same leader and subordinates, but we are very different from them. But that doesn’t mean I think our relationship is better than theirs. Some people may prefer a relationship where there is trust without saying a word.
I stopped using my chopsticks for a moment and looked at the evil Soma.
Before I could even say anything, the evil Soma spoke first.
“I’m fine, so eat.”
“I feel sorry for that. If we ate something delicious together, we would become closer.”
“If we share something delicious, I’ll get mad. Our relationship will probably get worse.”
I laughed, and the evil Soma didn’t laugh as if it wasn’t a joke.
At that moment, Cheonhwaruju came in. Four gisaengs followed her.
The women were really beautiful. Perhaps these four women were the Four Great Beauties of Cheonhwaru?
“Take your time and choose the woman you like.”
I immediately answered Cheonhwaruju’s words.
“They’re all beautiful, so tell them all to sit down. Is there really any need to choose?”
Cheonhwaruju looked at Geukaksoma. When Geukaksoma nodded, she had all the women sit down.
“That was a good choice.”
“It’s a way for everyone to win.”
Cheonhwaruju smiled at my answer.
The woman sitting next to me poured me a drink.
“With such beautiful people pouring drinks for me, I think I’ll drink too much today.”
I took a drink from each of the women’s glasses.
“Ian, you have a drink too.”
“I am okay.”
“No. You will never have the chance to receive alcohol from the beauties of Cheonhwaru in your lifetime.”
“Okay, then I’ll just have one drink.”
A courtesan nearby poured her a drink. Ian took a sip and put his glass down again.
As Ian and I treated them politely, their gazes naturally became soft as they looked at us.
The evil soma was leaning against the Tenhwaruju and looking at me.
He was unhappy with this situation because he wanted me to have fun with the courtesans.
“You said you were good at arguing?”
“I’m having a good time. This woman here is named Ju-hwa and she sings well. I’d like to listen to her sing a song later.”
“Would it be bad if I act like a gentleman at a drinking party? Should I at least give you some food?”
When I acted like a sage, the evil Soma dragged Ian, who was doing well, into it. He said to Cheonhwaruju.
“The Duke of Yi said that the escort over there is the most beautiful woman. What does our Lady of Luzhu think?”
Then the answer came right away, as if there was no need to think about it.
“I think that’s right.”
“Is that right?”
The evil Soma who had been waiting for her suddenly sat up.
“Yes. I thought so too when I first saw you.”
Cheonhwaruju stared at Ian intently.
“She is a truly beautiful woman. If only she would lose weight.”
Indeed, having seen countless women throughout her life, she recognized at a glance the beauty hidden behind fat and swelling.
On the other hand, the evil Soma was surprised.
As the saying goes, “What I know how to see, the evil Soma can’t see,” he was trying to prove to himself that Ian wasn’t pretty.
But when Cheonhwaruju came out like this, I was at a loss for words for a moment.
Cheonhwaruju asked Ian with a truly pitiful expression.
“You are so beautiful, why did you gain so much weight?”
Ian told her.
“I have a big appetite and am lazy by nature, so there was nothing I could do.”
But Cheonhwaruju clearly felt that this was not the case.
“I’m sure we all have at least one story we can’t tell.”
Then Cheonhwaruju smiled. Ian smiled faintly at her smile. Ian seemed to be comforted by her words that seemed to understand his pain.
“Thank you for your kind words.”
“you’re welcome.”
Cheonhwaruju is definitely not an ordinary woman.
That’s why she started calling the evil Soma “big brother” and was developing an ambition to become the Empress of the Night.
“Come on, let’s have a drink together!”
I raised my glass, and Ian and the courtesans toasted together.
After drinking and having fun, I went out to the yard of the hospital to get some fresh air.
It seems that he is definitely not a hero. Judging from the fact that he has a headache from the smell of something else.
Then someone called me from behind.
“Confucius.”
Looking back, it was Cheonhwaruju.
“If you don’t like the gisaengs, please let me know. There are many gisaengs in the main building.”
“it’s okay.”
“Confucius is very polite.”
“You have to behave properly in the presence of the evil soma. I, too, am a total idiot when I go out alone. I can’t bear to look at it with my own eyes open.”
Cheonhwaruju smiled meaningfully.
“It’s not because of the escort?”
“Do you think it’s because of my escort?”
“Because it seems like you care a lot.”
“Do you have a table?”
“Yes, a lot.”
“Please tell my escort when you come in.”
We looked at each other and laughed.
“Honestly, I was surprised. You knew at a glance that my escort was originally pretty.”
“I’ve been good at reading people since I was young. You know, I have a good intuition? I especially got a feeling when I looked at women. That woman would look beautiful if she put on makeup like this. She would look pretty if she dressed like this. That woman would have a crazy personality. That woman would like men. Strangely enough, I got it right. People even said she was possessed by a ghost.”
“How was my escort?”
“She was beautiful, but she seemed like someone who would do something greater. She seemed like someone who would become precious.”
As expected, she has an accurate eye for people.
“What about me?”
“I only know how to look at women.”
She smiled faintly. Maybe her intuition would apply to men too.
But, knowing that if he recklessly uses his intuition, his life will be in danger, isn’t it possible that he is limiting his talents to women and creating a new destiny for himself?
“Then shall we go in?”
“Let’s go.”
The very moment she took the lead.
Shh.
The masked man emerged from hiding and stabbed Cheonhwaruju with a dagger.
She didn’t even have the luxury of screaming.
That tense moment.
The fastest move I could make was made.
As I opened the King’s Treasure, the Black Magic Sword was pulled out from my rushing hand.
The eleventh star has been reached by the five forms of the Bicheon Sword Technique, the Quick Sword Technique, and the Changcheon Style.
Choaaaah.
Blood spurted across her face.
When Cheonhwaruju opened her eyes, the masked man who was trying to kill her was lying on the floor with his face pierced.
When she turned around in surprise, covered in the masked man’s blood, my sword was floating in the air. Her eyes widened.
The sword was splitting before my eyes.
Clang! Clang!
Four swords.
It wasn’t a real sword, but a sword spirit I had created. It had the shape of a black magic sword, so it looked like the sword was split into four pieces.
The seventh form of the Bicheon Sword Technique, the Yucheon Style.
Cheonhwaruju’s mouth opened wide at this amazing spectacle.
The moment the energy that spread out in all directions like a spider web from my body detected all the hidden enemies!
Swaaaaaaah!
Four black energies shot out like light in different directions.
At that splendid sight, Cheonhwaruju let out an exclamation. That exclamation was followed by the sound of flesh being torn and a breathless scream.
The silence continued.
Immediately afterwards, blood spurted out from the empty space where the swords had penetrated.
Phew!
The four masked men who had been hiding appeared. They fell down at the same time, blood spurting out from the holes where the black energy had penetrated them.
Bam!
The next moment, there was a person who came down as if he was being stabbed in the face.
It was the very evil Soma.
“What happened?”
“It was an ambush targeting Lady Rouge.”
At my words, the evil soma looked at Cheonhwaruju, who was standing there covered in blood.
The evil Soma laughed coldly at the fact that he was targeting Cheonhwaruju and not himself.
A soft laugh, like the growling of a beast.
His anger was palpable. It was even more intense because he had been laughing at the bar just a moment ago.
It’s always like this. The most cowardly and mean methods are so effective.
The evil Soma spoke to me in a rather calm and composed tone.
“Lee Gongja, I haven’t proven that your heart is ugly, so now would you like to see my real world?”
Yes, that’s why bloodshed happens.
