Chapter 260
260fury. Something's strange?
Murmur.
A large crowd of people gathered around Baekryongjang from early morning. People were whispering as they looked at the tightly closed gate..
“I heard someone climbed over the wall last night?”
“There's a thief again?”
“I don't think it's a thief this time. All the thieves who went in before were treated harshly and kicked out, but yesterday it was quiet. Plus, the lights were on until late..”
“At first I could hear talking.…….”
There were quite a few people who stayed up all night with their eyes open..
Everyone came to see Blue Dragon Credit Union..
Some people waited for more than ten days..
“Didn’t the Blue Dragon Credit Union come back last night??”
The crowd's eyes sparkled at someone's words..
In particular, the warriors who had been waiting for several days were ready to attack at any moment..
“Last night, I felt popular too! I think it's true that the owner has returned.…….”
“If you come back, I will come out and see you right away. What are you doing inside??”
“It's not polite to leave guests standing outside.!”
“It seems that lowly creatures like us are invisible to the naked eye. Isn't it extremely arrogant to praise it as a credit union?!”
Dissatisfaction became widespread among the people..
None of them were guests invited by Blue Dragon Credit Union, but they naturally took the attitude that Blue Dragon Credit Union should come out to welcome them..
“I can't wait any longer. I'll have to open it with some force and go in.!”
“Let's go together too.!”
It was a time when impatient warriors rushed to the front door..
“the door opens!”
The front door of Baekryongjang, which had been tightly closed, opened to the left and right..
And from there, a young man wearing a blue long robe with a face like a prison sentence walked out..
Everyone knew who the young man was, even if they didn't say it..
“It's Blue Dragon Credit Union.!”
“Why are you opening the door now?!”
“Huh. Finally, I see the precious face of the Ten Lords of Murim..”
There were already voices calling the Blue Dragon Credit Union the martial arts ten zone. However, the emotion felt from those words was closer to ridicule rather than admiration or respect..
Even if Baeksu-ryong saved the Namgung family by cutting down the elder of the blood religion from the Namgung family, that alone did not mean that he could be recognized as the Ten Lords..
‘You will have to defeat me and prove your skills.!’
This was the common thought of the warriors who came to challenge the Blue Dragon Credit Union. Some of them were already excited to make a name for themselves by defeating the White Water Dragon..
“This is Baek Su-ryong..”
With everyone's attention focused, Baek Soo-ryong opened his mouth with a restrained stance..
“First of all, I would like to apologize to those who visited Baekryongjang. Because I still had internal injuries from the Namgung family and the fatigue from the trip, I had no choice but to quietly return home and rest last night..”
Baek Soo-ryong’s face was pale..
Everyone gathered here knew what happened to the Namgung family, so they didn't think it was a lie..
“Then what?…….”
“Okay…….”
Some people looked dissatisfied, but the majority seemed to agree..
Blue Dragon Credit Union is now a world renowned expert..
It was not easy to see a master like that apologizing for a mistake while being polite..
‘The mood has calmed down a bit..’
Baek Soo-ryong humbled himself and exalted his opponents to appease the angry public sentiment. Then he spoke with a soft smile on his lips..
“Thank you for your understanding. We must invite all the guests here inside.…….”
Baek Soo-ryong looked around and looked embarrassed..
Even though it was early in the morning, there were close to a hundred people gathered around Baekryongjang..
Moreover, the rumor that Blue Dragon Credit Union had arrived seemed to have spread, and the number was increasing..
“There is not enough space to accommodate guests, and there is not enough to entertain them..”
“I've been waiting for several days in front of this place, but they're telling me to just go.!”
One of the impatient warriors screamed. Baek Soo-ryong shook his head..
“That's not what I'm saying. There is no way to accommodate a large number of guests at once. But it's also a pity to make you wait under the blazing sun..”
There was sincerity in Baek Soo-ryong's expression and voice as he cared about the guests. No one thought it was acting.
“I want to have a sincere conversation with each and every person, even if only for a short time..”
“oh oh……!”
“Isn’t this a rare feature of a great association?.”
“Rumor has it that he became a master at a young age and was arrogant..”
Many warriors admired Cheongryong Credit Union..
Even though he was prepared to be kicked out of the door or kicked out, Baek Soo-ryong was willing to give everyone his time..
‘We're almost there.’
There may be many masters in martial arts who are good at using weapons, but there are not many masters who are good at using their tongues. Most of them were stubborn and had strong pride..
But Baek Su-ryong was different..
The instructor's determination, who has been teaching and persuading others for a long time, shined here as well..
“So, I thought about the best way in my own way. Who came first??”
“close.”
On one side of the open road, a young beggar raised his hand. The hands dripping with soup were twice as big and thick as others..
The crowd recognized him and started whispering..
“Isn't the author Wangson of Daereksu??”
“Gangseo Bunta’s Buntaju? Then the disciples of the ark…….”
“What a surprise. The name of Cheongryong Credit Union is heard throughout the world, so of course Buntaju should come..”
Although he suddenly caught everyone's attention, Wangson calmly picked his nose with a thick finger. He was a young man with very large nostrils..
“Do you remember the order of those who came after you??
To Baek Soo-ryong’s question, Wang Son thought for a moment and then answered..
“I remember about 30 people after me.…….”
Despite his dirty and dull appearance, Wangson was an intelligent man with a good memory. Buntaju of one castle was not something everyone could do..
Wang Sun was also one of the disciples of the Open Ark, and despite the high distribution of martial arts, he spoke highly of Baek Su-ryong..
‘The opponent is a super expert who is referred to as the next martial arts ten zone. There is no harm in showing it well..’
Smirk.
The king smiled, showing his yellow teeth..
It was a show of goodwill, but for the first time, Baek Soo-ryong's smile almost broke. He had put his finger in his mouth and was sucking on the tip..
“……It's great that 30 people remember you. can you please help me?”
“How can I help you??”
“Guys.”
Disciples appeared behind White Water Dragon. He was holding a bunch of paper in both hands..
“We will hand out numbered tickets in the order you arrive. If you are resting in a nearby guesthouse, my disciples will come and fetch you in order. There is no need to wait here..”
“oh oh……!”
“That way!”
The amazed crowd fell to their knees..
If we did as Baek Soo-ryong said, there was no longer any need to wait under the scorching sun..
Everyone lined up in the order they arrived and received a number. Wangson, the owner of the open bus, confirmed the order, so there was almost no cutting in line or noise..
“There is a Baekryong Gaekjan nearby. You should stay in one place as much as possible to make it easier for your disciples to come to you, so we would appreciate it if you could stay nearby if possible..”
Baek Soo-ryong naturally recommended the guesthouse operated by Baekryong Merchants to the guests. No one thought it was strange.
But there were those who opposed it for other reasons..
“Are you saying that you will accept everyone as a guest? How long should I wait?.”
A cold voice poured cold water into the atmosphere..
Jeopuk, Jeopuk.
An arrogant and strong-looking man with a long sword crossing his left cheek walked forward through the crowd..
“It's called Jo Yeon-il of Joga Inspection. I ran a thousand miles without hesitation to apply for financial assistance from Blue Dragon Credit Union..”
“Chuhon Swordsman!”
“It is said that he cut down Madou with a single sword in Shaanxi.?”
Onlookers who had heard of Chuhon Swordsman's reputation murmured..
Jo Yeon-il was the successor to Jo Ga-geom-mun, who came from a military family and founded a family. He was a martial arts expert who had been traveling around the world for three years with the sole intention of perfecting his martial arts skills..
The corners of Jo Yeon-il's mouth rose slightly as he looked at the crowd's admiring gaze. But then he pretended like nothing was wrong and stepped forward..
Grumble.
The Chuhon swordsman, with his sword half drawn, looked at Baeksu-ryong. The sharp blade of the sword flashed blue..
“I would like to apply for financial assistance from Blue Dragon Credit Union. My sword is thoroughly honed in combat, so as long as you don't dodge, it won't take long to win the game..”
An arrogant smile appeared on the corner of the Chuhon swordsman's mouth..
He was confident that he would win a fight with a white water dragon..
He had honed his sword through numerous battles for three years, and was confident that his skills had now reached their peak..
All that was left was to prove one's martial prowess against a famous master..
‘This guy who looks like a gisaeng brother is the Ten Lords of Murim? I'll take away that lie.’
It wasn't just the Chuhon swordsman..
All the experts who were dissatisfied with waiting in line and receiving numbered tickets came forward..
“It's here too!”
“I also came to challenge Blue Dragon Credit Union.!”
“If you are not afraid of my spear, Blue Dragon Credit Union, do not avoid the weapon..”
They were all expert players with extraordinary skills..
They were recognized no matter where they went, so they were not used to waiting..
But Baek Soo-ryong’s answer was firm..
“If this happens, there will be a problem with fairness. Please receive numbered tickets in the order you arrive..”
“I'm not making excuses to avoid trouble.?”
At Jo Yeon-il’s words, ridicule flowed among the experts. Baek Soo-ryong’s eyebrows furrowed..
‘Shut that up…….’
I wanted to put out a muksabal, but it was difficult to do so because there were so many eyes watching..
Fortunately, Baek Soo-ryong had strong reinforcements..
“I can't stand this arrogant behavior..”
A much sharper and colder voice than Jo Yeon-il's chilled the air..
“Is this a cheeky act? Who is the one who makes fun of the snout?!”
At Jo Yeon-il's excited shout, Namgung-su walked out from behind Baek Su-ryong and stood side by side with Baek Soo-ryong..
“My name is Namgungsu, the third son of the Daenamgung family and an instructor at the Blue Dragon School..”
“……!”
When the two tall men stood side by side, a picture was completed. There were spontaneous exclamations of exclamation from the women among the onlookers..
“……Even though he is the son of the Namgung family, aren’t his words and actions crossing the line now?.”
Jo Yeon-il gritted his teeth and glared at Namgung-su..
However, Namgoongsu snorted as if asking why the dog was barking..
“You are uninvited guests. Anyone who knows etiquette and law should be grateful for the consideration of the host who takes the time to welcome the guest even though he is an uninvited guest. But you pulled out your sword at the owner who asked you to wait. What is the difference between what you do and a robber??”
“…….”
Jo Yeon-il was momentarily speechless at Namgung-su’s comment. It was the same for other experts.
“……Why are you getting involved in this??”
“This is because instructor Baek Soo-ryong belongs to the Blue Dragon Academy. I can't stand by and watch my ugly junior being persecuted..”
“hey. who is ugly…….”
“He is also the benefactor of the Namgung family..”
Namgungsu ignored Baeksuryong’s whispers and stepped forward. He glared at the warriors with his fierce eyes..
“If you still want to be tyrannical, you will have to deal with my sword first..”
The soldiers who made eye contact with Namgoongsu avoided their gaze..
Although it recently suffered a bloody death, the reputation of the world's best family was still alive and well..
Moreover, the public opinion around him was also on Namgung Soo’s side..
“That's right! take your turn!”
“It's too much to cut in line just because you're strong in martial arts.!”
Jo Yeon-il was in an awkward situation..
I wasn't afraid of sharing the sword with Nangongsu, but I was afraid that it would ruin my reputation..
‘Damn it…….’
In the end, the swordsman Jo Yeon-il had no choice but to step back..
“……I was impatient. I'll take your number and wait..”
Jo Yeon-il glared at Baek Soo-ryong for a moment, then stepped back and stood in line. It was the same for other experts.
After a while, they received a number and headed to Baekryong Gaekjan..
* * *
“It's unpleasant.”
Jo Yeon-il swallowed the strong liquor in one bite. I still can't forget the humiliation I suffered a few hours ago..
He was different from other children..
Most of the people who came to meet Blue Dragon Credit Union were just flies who came to fart..
‘How can I be the same as those who came to fight swords as a warrior?!’
Grumbling!
Even thinking about it again made my teeth grind. Jo Yeon-il drank more strong liquor..
‘joy. Public opinion will change if I defeat Blue Dragon Credit Union. In the end, martial arts proves martial arts..’
Jo Yeon-il controlled his anger, imagining that Moorim would become noisy with the birth of a new super expert in a few days..
But after finding out the price of alcohol, I got angry again..
He said, glaring at Jeomsoi with murderous eyes..
“Why is it so expensive??”
“yes? Our original price is like this…….”
“I think it's twice as expensive as other guest cups..”
“Oh my, warrior! It's unfair.!”
No matter how I look at it, it seems like I'm being ripped off.…….
But Jo Yeon-il couldn't argue anymore..
There were many eyes around.
The martial people were people who risked their lives for the sake of respect..
He, the successor of Jogageommun, could not have spread a rumor that he harmed Jeomsoi just for a few pennies..
‘Did Blue Dragon Credit Union intentionally recommend an expensive place? No, there's no way that would benefit him.…….’
Guests from abroad did not know.
That Baekryong Gaekjan is a guesthouse operated by Baekryong Merchants and that the prices of food and alcohol had doubled before they arrived..
‘Something's strange.’
That wasn't all that strange..
Some merchants came into Baekryong Gaekjan and set up stalls..
“There is an inner layer of fresh young water. It is not a Naedan that comes every day.!”
“Naedan? Let's take a look.”
The warriors sat down one by one as they heard the words “Naedan” for spiritual objects..
As the merchants boasted, it was very fresh and of high quality..
The eyes of the warriors who lacked internal strength were turned away..
“I will buy it!”
“No, sell it to me.!”
As a result, the inner bundles brought by merchants were sold at a much higher price than the market price due to competition..
‘Isn’t this a complete rip off?!’
The warriors who bought Naedan with all their money seemed satisfied. But will I feel the same way tomorrow??
Jo Yeon-il shook his head..
And a couple of times in one hour, students from Blue Dragon Credit Union came by with number tickets..
“Customer number 32, are you a customer?!”
“Here it is! It's finally my turn!”
The person who stood up was a military man who, like Jo Yeon-il, came forward to challenge Baek Soo-ryong..
“I will come and see how sharp my Blue Dragon Credit Union sword is.!”
He proudly went out and returned about half past midnight..
There was no need to ask about the results.
Because I bowed my head when I came in..
“……To my shame, my weapon broke after five rounds..”
“For five sums? The inaction of the Blue Dragon Credit Union is so severe.?”
“Come on, have a drink and let’s talk in detail..”
At the urging of those around him, the unmanned person opened his mouth. Jo Yeon-il also pretended not to hear and listened..
“I couldn't even see the sword properly. As I was trying to block frantically, the sword snapped and broke..”
“Look. You said your sword was broken. What sword are you holding? Looks like new.”
“Ah, this…….”
The warrior carefully held the sword, which was obviously new, in his arms..
“Cheongryong Shinhyeop apologized for breaking the sword and recommended Cheolbang, who has the best workmanship in the area. It's called Wijicheolbang, and that's where I met this guy. Hehehe.”
The warrior seemed to like it and smiled happily as he held the new sword in his arms..
“It is a rare and famous sword. I was barely able to afford it by sacrificing all my money..”
I lost all my money to buy a sword.?
Unfortunately, Blue Dragon Credit Union broke the sword.?
Isn’t that a bit strange too??
‘It's strange. Everything is strange…….’
It was a time when Jo Yeon-il’s mind became complicated..
“Guest number seventy-five! Are you here??”
A young boy with a sword on his belt came into the guest room and looked around..
“……It's finally my turn.”
Jo Yeon-il checked his number tag and stood up. Seventy-five times. The name was called sooner than expected..
“Can I go right now??”
“Oh no. Even if you go now, I think you'll have to wait an hour..”
“Then why are you here already??”
“in fact… … If you have time, I have something to ask you..”
“ask?”
The boy looked at Jo Yeon-il and his sword alternately with bright eyes..
“I’ve been watching it since a while ago… … . Can I apply for a visa??”
The boy's name was Wijicheon..
