Chapter 335

335fury. It's good

The winner was won by a single sum..

Baeksu-ryong even spoke to Cheongsu-munju before attacking. So it was a fight that could not be called a surprise attack..

There was an overwhelming gap in the martial arts skills of the two men. However, Lord Qing Shui Wen did not acknowledge that fact..

“Rain, you cowardly made a surprise attack..”

“under?”

The Qingshui clan was a fairly large sect in Xi'an..

Although he cannot be compared to Hwasan, who is like a immortal above the clouds, or to the masters of Jongnam, if you line up the worldly sects in Xi'an, you can confidently say that he is in the top 20..

“Who instigated it? If you let go of this hand and confess obediently even now, I will show you mercy and save your life..”

The lord of Cheongsumun forced himself to possess the dignity of a lord..

In fact, the current Cheongsumun was a sect that his grandfather and father raised with their blood and sweat..

In comparison, the current Munju was a person who lived in luxury and pleasure, interested only in collecting works of art rather than martial arts..

I'm the only one who doesn't know that fact.

“Do you think you can harm me and get away with it? Xi'an will be turned upside down. The warriors in the main text, the charlatans of the martial arts faction who are close to me, will find you! Hwasan and Jongnam will also open up. Can you handle them all?!”

“Ha, this bastard hasn't come to his senses yet..”

Baek Su-ryong looked at Cheong Su-munju with an expression of bewilderment..

Still, he is the lord of the Japanese clan, and even when his neck is grabbed, he acts stiffly..

‘The bastard who scared the old man by ordering gangsters to take away a painting..’

If you didn't know that, you might have been a little amazed..

But now I just look like a hypocrite struggling to save face..

As Baek Su-ryong's expression became colder, Cheong Su-munju's words became faster and faster..

“Also, did you receive money? I'll give you double. No, I'll give you three times, five times! Let's talk about this first…….”

“I can't understand the situation?”

Baek Su-ryong gave strength to the hand that grabbed Cheong Su-munju’s neck. He struck the abdomen with the other hand..

“gagging!”

Cheongsumunju twisted his whole body in pain..

I swung the sword that I hadn't let go yet and tried to cut off the opponent's arm..

However, the sword he swung only cut through the air without any vein..

Baek Su-ryong slowly tightened Cheong Su-munju's neck with one hand and spoke in a murderous voice..

“If you talk bullshit one more time, I'll pull out your eyes, and then I'll twist your limbs and pull them out one by one. If you have a tongue, you will be able to answer any question asked. If what I say is a lie, keep talking..”

“Ugh, uhhh…….”

Consciousness becomes increasingly blurred. Finally, the fear that I might really die seeps into my whole body. Tears welled up in Cheongsumunju’s eyes. My high pride was shattered..

“Save me…….”

“Dao?”

“Save me... … Please…….”

Baeksu-ryong threw Cheongsumunju to the floor..

“Cough, crunch!”

Cheongsumunju, who had been snoring for a while, knelt down on his own. He trembled like a man caught in a match. I couldn't even raise my head to face Baeksu-ryong. completely terrified.

It's a shame for a military man, but Cheongsu-munju, who has lived in Xi'an all his life, has never had his life threatened like this even once in his life..

‘At a glance, you can see that he is a noble person who grew up well..’

Baek Soo-ryong noticed that fact. There was no need for torture for this guy. I could have made him submit with just a few words..

“I'll ask again. Just answer what is asked.”

“yes, yes!”

Baek Soo-ryong was currently disguised as an ordinary student..

But Qing Shumunju no longer thought of him as a scholar..

‘Madou, it must be a fearsome giant bean..’

Maybe he's a teenage villain, and judging by his cruel hands and skills, he might be one of the three most terrible evils..

“A picture from an old bookstore. Do you know who drew it??”

“Fu, it was painted by Feng Yue Painting..”

Baek Soo-ryong tilted his head at the immediate answer..

“Who is Pungwol Chemical??”

“He is a legendary painter who is now retired. The paintings he drew are so rare that they are worth asking for among collectors like us.…….”

About a year ago, Cheongsumunju found out that there was a beautiful woman in an old bookstore on the outskirts of the city..

When a scholar who knew that he liked painting let him know, Cheongsumunju could not have imagined that such a treasure could be found in a shabby place where only poor scholars entered..

I stopped by an old bookstore just for entertainment, and as soon as I saw Beauty Island, I fell in love with it at first sight..

Although Cheongsumunju was poor at martial arts, he had a good eye for art. Thanks to this, I learned that the painting style was the same as Pungwolhwagong's painting of a beautiful woman that I had seen before..

“So I tried to buy it at a fair price. But the old man insisted on not selling it... … . Wow!”

Cheongsumunju, who was suddenly hit, looked up at Baeksuryong with eyes full of fear..

“why, why?”

An ordinary-looking student was smiling coolly..

“Where are you lying? Fair value? I was planning on getting it for a cheap price.?”

“Not really…….”

“So, shall we hear how much was presented? I think you said earlier that it was a priceless treasure. If it's not a shocking amount, I can rip your ass off.?”

“Sorry, sorry... … . in fact…….”

As if he had hit the nail on the head, Cheongsumunju quickly apologized..

‘It’s obvious even if you don’t look at it.’

An old man who did not know its value would have thought it was too precious a treasure to keep, and would have tried to rob it at a low price..

In fact, Master Cheongsumun-ju sent people several times afterward to show his intention to buy the painting, but they were all rejected..

It was after that that the wranglers were hired. He visited the old bookstore every day, prevented it from operating properly, and made him threaten to sell his paintings..

“What this bastard called Jeongpa is doing is worse than Sapa trash..”

“…….”

Qing Shuwenju wanted to say in his heart, ‘Aren’t you the same guy?’, but he didn’t dare open his mouth and lowered his head..

Baek Soo-ryong looked at the back of his head and thought..

‘Somehow it didn't seem like an ordinary picture..’

Even to Baek Su-ryong, who was not skilled in painting, the portrait of the Ice Moon Goddess looked amazing. Because it was like seeing her in person when she was young..

“Tell me everything you know about Pungwol Chemical Company..”

Whose order would you dare to refuse?.

Cheongsumunju told everything he knew about Pungwolhwagong..

He was considered one of the top three artists when discussing the world's most outstanding painters, and he did not paint after retirement..

He is currently secluded in a manor in Xi'an and has not been seen outside since..

‘Luckily we're in the same city.’

Among the martial artists he interacted with in his youth, his network was wide enough to include current scholars and elders of the Hwasan faction and Jongnam faction, and he himself was said to be a considerable expert..

“……It is also known that he is very knowledgeable in the art of magic. One of the reasons the works left behind by Pungwol Painter are famous is because of the techniques left behind..”

“technique?”

“It's a rumor, but it is said that people who see the beautiful woman he drew meet the beautiful woman in their dreams and form a relationship with her.…….”

Wow!

After being hit in the face, Cheongsumunju's head turned to the side. I was hit so hard that my molars were shaking..

“Why, why suddenly…….”

“Shut up, you pervert..”

“…….”

Baek Su-ryong glared at Cheong Su-munju with a murderous look..

So, isn't the reason why this guy tried to steal Teacher Eun's portrait because he met him in a dream and tried to modify it?.

You should be thankful that you didn't split his head open..

“What I know more?”

“Well, I told you everything I know.…….”

Cheongsumunju’s whole body trembled with fear. The fear of the white water dragon grew more and more..

When Baek Su-ryong gathered his eyebrows and frowned, Cheong Su-munju flinched as if in reaction..

“I have one favor to ask of you..”

Even Cheongsumunju did not know that words were a request, not an order..

At that moment, my first feeling was relief..

Asking for a favor meant at least not killing him..

“Yes, please speak.”

In front of the completely surrendered Cheongsumunju, Baeksuryong slightly removed the end of the bast face that covered the thin skin..

Squeak…….

Cheongsumunju opened his eyes in surprise..

“Bast cotton ball! As expected, that appearance…….”

“Clue. Luckily you know. If you had seen Nobu's true face, you would have already been dead..”

“……!!”

Baek Soo-ryong scratched his vocal cords and made the voice of an old man. It was a very simple technique for him..

“I showed you this to let you know that trying to find Nobu is useless. This face is fake anyway, and you will never find me again.”

“Well, I never intend to do that.!”

I meant it. Qing Shuwenzhu had no intention of ever getting involved with this Great Madou again. To begin with, he was a person with a small liver..

“Clue. It's good to hear what you're saying. Let me be blunt. Nobu likes the picture he saw at the old bookstore. But I have some other things to do right now, so I can't afford to take it. It would be difficult if there was even blood on it..”

“blood, blood…….”

What on earth did this Madou come to Gangho to do??

A bloody imagination unfolded in Qing Shuwenzhu's mind..

“Clue. Do you want to know where I'm going??”

“Oh, no. Absolutely not.”

Baek Soo-ryong reattached the bast face that had been slightly removed to his skin..

It was important from now on. Baek Soo-ryong said with madness in his eyes..

“Until I return, keep an eye on the picture..”

“yes……?”

“This means leaving it in the old bookstore without even touching it, but watching it secretly so that no one else can steal it..”

“that…….”

“If the painting is gone when Nobu returns, or if the owner of the old bookstore has changed,…….”

Baeksu- ryong’s two eyes glowed with a faint blood glow. It was a weak use of the Blood Demon Eye. Cheongsumunju's eyes opened blankly when they met our gazes..

“I will come back and tear you limb from limb and kill you..”

“Ugh, uhhh…….”

Absolute fear was engraved in my mind. The situation has already weakened the mind. Lord Cheongsumun had no courage to disobey the order..

“Ah, I see. I will definitely protect it! I'll do as you tell me, so please spare my life.…….”

Cheongsumunju lay flat on the floor and sobbed..

“……I'll come back later.”

A voice came from far away. When Qing Shuwenzhu raised his head again, the figure of Great Madou that had made him tremble with fear had already disappeared..

Lord Cheongsu, who went out of the room immediately, called the warriors of the clan and gave orders..

“Starting tomorrow, no, immediately, the soldiers in the text will patrol the area around the old bookstore and watch for suspicious people approaching.!”

The warriors at Cheongsumun were just confused by Munju’s command, which seemed to have left half of his soul..

* * *

“Now that I've done this, I won't be able to do anything foolish for a while..”

Baek Soo-ryong left Cheongsu Gate and headed to his next destination with lighter steps..

The people I saw every day in my past life were the Madhus of Sapa. Imitating that wasn't even a task for Baek Su-ryong..

‘Elderly. In the future, there will be no more gangsters visiting..’

A satisfied smile appeared on Baek Soo-ryong's lips as he remembered the old man in the old bookstore..

However, as he got closer to his destination, his face gradually frowned..

‘No matter how much I come, I can't get used to it..’

Baek Soo-ryong was holding both hands full of food. It was food I bought at a restaurant that was open until late at night..

After a while, when he arrived under the tunnel, beggars who smelled the food came rushing in..

“It's food!”

“This is what you brought for us.?”

“lol. You will be blessed.”

Baek Soo-ryong smiled awkwardly and said to the beggars who surrounded him so quickly that he wondered if it was some kind of strategy..

“I'm sorry it's late. I brought this for you to share..”

At that time, Buntaju, who came out of the hut, spotted the white water dragon and shouted with excitement..

“Of course, beggars... … ! Ugh!”

The dumplings flew in like a memorization and fit right into Buntaju’s mouth. It was thrown by Baek Soo-ryong..

‘Stop talking about that damn brother..’

After a while, Baek Soo-ryong entered Buntaju's hut and immediately announced his business..

“Actually, I came here to ask you something..”

“haha! As much as you want! Are we strangers?!”

Please, I want to be someone else..

Baek Soo-ryong secretly sighed and asked Buntaju about Pungwolhwagong..

“Do you mean Pungwol Chemical? If it's him…….”

Buntaju’s story was almost the same as what he heard from Cheongsumunju..

‘I guess I wasn't lying..’

Baek Su-ryong did not completely trust Cheong Su-munju. So I came to the opening and checked the information one more time..

‘Is Pungwol Chemical Company Munyul??’

I heard from an old man in an old bookstore that it was not Moon Yool but an acquaintance of his who drew the picture..

That acquaintance is Pungwol Chemical Co..

However, Baek Soo-ryong did not rule out the possibility that Moon Yul was Pungwol Painter himself..

“Bunta Lord. Do you know the name of Pungwolhwagong??”

Buntaju shook his head as he put the dumplings that Baek Soo-ryong had bought into his mouth..

“Strangely enough, its name is unknown. Probably very few people know. He is such a strange person..”

There are many strange people in Moorim..

Those who gain fame through unique actions rather than martial arts.

Pungwol Chemical was also that kind of person..

Baek Soo-ryong nodded and asked what he was most curious about..

“You said he lived in seclusion after retirement. Is there any way to meet him??”

It was impossible to just attack them like they did when they visited Cheongsumun Gate. After listening to it, I don't think he's that easy of a person..

“well… … . You won't meet someone just because they have a high reputation.…….”

Buntaju, who was shaking his head with a troubled expression, suddenly clapped his hands as if he remembered something..

“ah! Now that I think about it, I think it would be easy to meet brothers..”

“How??”

Buntaju said with a sinister smile..

“The story that Pungwol Hwagong likes beautiful women is famous. His only pleasure is often inviting beautiful women to his manor to eat and chat..”

Baek Soo-ryong made an absurd expression..

“What a beauty… … . Are you telling me to dress up as a woman and visit you??”

Buntaju laughed at those words..

“That wouldn't be a bad thing, but it doesn't have to be. I am talking about beauty regardless of gender..”

If that's the case... … . It was a simple matter that could be solved by just taking off the bast mask..

“Are you doing something strange by inviting me to your house??”

“If that had been the case, he would have been labeled as a traitor long ago and become a martial artist. Just eat with a beautiful woman, chat with her, and if she's in a good mood, give her a gift. That's all.”

Buntaju looked at Baeksuryong with envious eyes..

Although he is now wearing a human skin mask and has a normal face, he has seen the appearance of the Blue Dragon Credit Union..

It was a face that would never be forgotten once seen..

“Even when powerful people come to him with thousands of gold coins, he sends them away coldly, so my brother can easily enter..”

Baek Soo-ryong nodded calmly. It wasn't something I was bragging about..

“Well, I guess it’s nice to be handsome..”
