Chapter 7.2
CONTINUATION…
Jin Cheon-hee observed their conversation with such thoughts.
“Hmm! Is someone targeting our Leader…?”
“Dispose of the tea and refreshments immediately. And… since there may be an attack, prepare your soldiers.”
Upon hearing these words, Woon Ji-sang nodded.
“That won’t be all. An attack on the Cloud Dragon and poison in the tea… There must be some conspiracy. I feel sorry for Baek Rin Eui-seon. It seems I’ve involved him in our affairs…”
It seemed that Woon Ji-sang had already finished assessing the situation.
“Not at all. Thank you for trusting my words. First, take necessary actions.”
“If I don’t trust the words of a Great Sage, then whose words will I trust? I appreciate your consideration.”
Woon Ji-sang said so and shouted towards the outside.
“Line the soldiers!”
Then, Woon Ji-sang looked at Jin Cheon-hee. Baek Rin Eui-seon spoke to Jin Cheon-hee.
“Did you know about the San Gong-Doku?”
His clear gaze fell upon Jin Cheon-hee.
‘This is where I have to play dumb.’
Jin Cheonn-hee said,
“What… is San Gong-Doku?”
A poison that disperses martial arts. It is colorless and odorless.
Although it is said to have a slightly sweet aftertaste, when actually consumed, it is impossible to discern.
Therefore, Jin cheon-hee had decided to eat all the refreshments, thinking that at least one of them must be poisoned.
The important thing was to get poisoned by San Gong Doku.
‘Hehehe. Whatever happens, it’s better than dying.’
He, who already knew the impending disaster, couldn’t simply dismiss the San Gong-Doku due to mere cautionary reasons.
Baek Rin Eui-seon thought to himself.
‘No matter how skilled one is in martial arts, poison is still poison. Surely, no one would knowingly consume it…’
That’s what it means to be a Doctor. It was his duty to save people amidst countless illnesses and dangers.
He had witnessed all sorts of human affairs.
Perhaps that’s why he had an intuition, which told him that. Jin Cheon-hee was hiding something. But strangely, he didn’t feel any sense of danger.
‘It feels like something has possessed him.’
Baek Rin Eui-seon then said.
“Let’s investigate, and if something comes up, it won’t be me who saved the Cloud Dragon Escort Bureau, but you.”
He said it as if suggesting it to Woon Ji-sang.
Woon Ji-sang was taken aback.
‘He’s not wrong. No matter how lucky it is, at this point…’
After organizing his thoughts, he said.
“After this is over, we’ll make room.”
Room here doesn’t simply mean drinking tea casually.
Jin Cheonn-hee thought to himself.
‘This is an opportunity to exploit something.’
Who wouldn’t want money?
He saved people, and he himself needed to make a living.
He had been abandoned in this desolate wasteland, but he intended to exploit everything he could.
‘Money, more money! Show me the money! Medicine! I don’t really understand martial arts! First, money!’
‘Since the Cloud Dragon Escort Bureau dominated this place, they should have plenty.’ Jin Cheon-hee thought to himself.
He smiled sadly like a lonely child.
“I don’t remember my home or family, but if even someone like me can be of help, then I’m grateful for that.”
Everyone fell silent at young Jin Cheon-hee’s words.
“….”
Even the servers, who was stealing glances, had tears in their eyes.
‘Is it because of my features? It seems they are being overly swayed.’
Even Woon Ji-sang didn’t know what to do and tightly held Jin Cheon-hee’s shoulders.
“Don’t worry. I am still the Leader of the Cloud Dragon Escort Bureau . You are also a benefactor here, and I will never disappoint you.”
‘What disappointment?’
‘Why is he speaking in such a resolute voice as if he had made a big decision?’
At that moment, Baek Rin Eui-seon grabbed Woon Ji-sang’s shoulder.
“No, you can’t.”
“What?”
“No, you can’t.”
“I know that he is the child You’ve prepared in advance. But…”
“Hahaha, no, you can’t.”
Baek Rin Eui-seon laughed, but he firmly rejected Woon Ji-sang’s words.
“What do you mean, no?”
Woon Ji-sang was trying to bring Jin Cheon-hee into the Cloud Dragon Escort Bureau, while Jae-Gal Rin wanted to take Jin Cheon-hee as his own disciple, so he was hitting an Iron wall.
Jin Cheon-hee alone rolled his eyes, unaware of the battle of the two who sought to obtain his talent.
