Chapter 77: Sung Household (1)

Even the Heavenly Demise Star had her weaknesses.

Its not the form of weak point the place, regardless of possessing robust martial arts expertise, one would perish if their neck had been reduce or their coronary heart pierced. Somewhat, its a deficiency in martial arts prowess.

Surprisingly, her weak point lay in stealth and concealment methods.

-My expertise are barely inferior to these of a first-class murderer.

Earlier than leaving Chilgok County, she disclosed her vulnerabilities.

Then why was she captured on the Gapsu Buying and selling Firm? Upon receiving a probing look, Sohee shortly averted her gaze and corrected herself.

-Im really on par with a second-class murderer.

Is she actually the best murderer on this martial arts visible novel?

Sporting ninja apparel and being weak in stealth and concealment methods? I regarded Sohee with skepticism.

-My martial arts expertise stay on the degree of a top-class murderer.

Seeing my bewildered expression, Sohee defensively retorted.

Maybe being an murderer didnt solely imply escaping easily after a kill, however fairly, it meant being an murderer as a result of one might remove all witnesses as properly.

Sohee had by no means felt a big deficiency in her stealth and concealment talents. With these expertise, she was greater than able to executing assassinations undetected.

The difficulty is that this was the primary time she was ever found on the Gapsu Buying and selling Firm.

An incident that occurred as soon as may not repeat, however an incident that happens twice was sure to occur once more. If she was cautious, there shouldnt be one other occasion of her getting caught.

Even when it did occur, she possessed the abilities to outlive it. The issue was me. If she was caught, it might endanger my life as her companion.

I recalled the dialog I had with Sohee in Chilgok County.

-If you wish to infiltrate the Sung Household Heads room simply, its finest to remain within the interior quarters.

-Within the interior quarters? They wouldnt let a mere entertainer keep within the interior quarters, not even a VIP.

-It doesnt matter if you find yourself staying within the outer quarters. Ailing attempt to sneak out utilizing my stealth methods.

-Theres no must take such a danger. Ailing see what I can do to make sure you can keep within the interior quarters.

-How?

-I’ve a plan. Simply belief me.

Sometimes, the interior quarters of a mansion had been reserved for members of the family, elders, martial artists of elder rank, and key personnel such because the chief stewards.

Being invited to remain there as a visitor signified receiving VVIP remedy.

Sohee was virtually prepared to surrender.

I got here right here desirous to deeply impress Seong Sehwis uncle on behalf of the shopper. Arent you the shopper? Assist me out. She needed to say, however its stated that the identification of a stealthy shopper was by no means revealed to the murderer.

Even when she had been to ask the person for assist, he wouldnt help her.

Even when an insider commissioned the assassination, overtly serving to might result in being caught and the fee being uncovered.

Its inconceivable to infiltrate the interior quarters with the assistance of an insider.

Theres no purpose to accommodate a performer, particularly a barbarian, within the interior quarters.

Often, that’s.

Ailing should prepare dinner the younger grasp alive to get myself invited as a VIP.

If not normal, then being an uncommon visitor ought to do the trick.

Right here we’re.

Following a servant into the Sung Household residence.

The servant despatched by Seong Sehwi led me by way of the outer quarters to a room within the interior quarters.

Actually, the Joseon entertainer!

Seong Sehwi greeted me with a stunned expression, clearly not anticipating my go to.

Only for a couple of days.

I greeted Seong Sehwi with a smile.

Seong Sehwi, nonetheless in disbelief, led me to a cushty spot.

How did you come right here? Did you not absolutely decline the invitation?

Seong Sehwi requested me instantly, unable to cover his shock.

When was it ever an invite? It was a rip-off.

Seong Sehwi invited me to impress his uncle, an invite that, had I been unaware of the true state of affairs, might have led to severe bother.

I by no means dreamed I’d return of my very own accord to that invitation.VIsit n0(v)eLb(i)n.com for the perfect novel studying expertise

To be invited inside and guarantee my security, I must be handled as a VIP.

Saying I got here again for the cash can be the bottom of excuses.

I’d merely be instructed to carry out within the outer quarters, take the cash, and depart.

I need to develop into a person who got here to Seong Sehwi with noble intentions, not only for mere cash.

After we parted, I mirrored on the previous.

I took a sip of the tea ready in entrance of me and started with a severe tone.

Lets begin by constructing rapport.

What had been you serious about?

Concerning the time I, as a barbarian, lived within the Central Plains and confronted quite a few persecutions. Even when somebody as weak as me was mercilessly overwhelmed by bullies, not a single particular person supplied a serving to hand.

I pulled up my sleeves to disclose a number of small wounds and made a face as if recalling unjust and unhappy occasions.

Folks hardly ever prolong a hand to the weak, even when that particular person was as soon as the inheritor obvious to a household.

Seong Sehwi shared his experiences, seeming to narrate.

Seong Sehwi determined to welcome me as a VIP of the Sung Household, as its solely proper to not neglect a hero of justice who got here with pure intentions.

My spouse is ready on the inn.

Your spouse?

The lady who was with me on the day we first met is my spouse.

Ah! I assumed it was uncommon for a lady to be carrying the badge of workplace, so she was your spouse.

As a husband, I used to be too ashamed to introduce her that day, being underneath her safety.

I modestly bowed my head, as if embarrassed by my unhusband-like habits.

I perceive. Ailing have a servant deliver your spouse right here.

Thanks.

Seong Sehwi ordered a servant to deliver Sohee.

Sohee has to play the function of the spouse properly.

Whereas I had no points transitioning from a grasp, producer, commander, to instructor, and now to a husband, the newcomer Sohee might pose an issue.

-As soon as we arrive on the Sung Household, I’ll name Sohee my spouse.

– Spouse?

-You dont prefer it?

-No, its nice. Cool, okay.

-How do you need to name me?

-Ought to I name you Expensive Husband?

-Expensive Husband, huh Thats too Central Plains-like.

Maybe reminded of somebody by the time period Expensive Husband, I requested Sohee for a special title.

-I cant consider every other title than that.

-How about calling me Seobang-nim because it befits a Joseon particular person?

– Seobang-nim?

-Its good as a result of its Joseon-like, and if I name you Seobang-nim and make a mistake in addressing you, I can simply fake it was a mistake because of being Joseon.

-Seobang-nim. Seobang-nim. Yeah, Seobang-nim. It sounds good.

Sohee checked out me intently, repeating the title Seobang-nim a number of instances, then nodded her head.

The visitor has arrived.

As I used to be reminiscing in regards to the occasions in Chilgok County, Sohee arrived.

Let me introduce her once more. That is my spouse.

I assumed you had been simply holding an workplace badge that day and didnt greet you correctly. Madam, you’ve got a nice husband.

Sohees face flushed, and her lips moved, however no phrases got here out.

Sohee?

S, Se, Seobang-nim is a superb particular person.

Why was Sohee talking as if shes buffering?

Her face was flushed, and her performing was oddly clumsy.

Possibly it was awkward for her to name me her husband after I was not likely her husband.

Ha-ha. My spouse is shy, so she doesnt converse a lot.

Ha-ha-ha. Appears so. Anyway, it appears in Joseon, husbands are known as Seobang.

Sure. Though Im used to talking within the language of the Central Plains, I discover myself extra comfy with Joseon titles.

I see. Effectively, now that your spouse is right here, let me present you to your lodging within the interior quarters.

Seong Sehwi led us to our lodging with none suspicion.

The backyard is really lovely.

The backyard was neatly maintained, maybe as one would count on of a rich family.

I remorse that I can not present you the innermost backyard, which is much more lovely. Sungjiru and his gang have taken over, so I can not give you lodging there.

This place is gorgeous sufficient.

I comforted Seong Sehwi, who wore a pissed off expression. Staying within the interior quarters is ample. Being too shut might simply arouse suspicion of assassination.

You shouldnt say that!

As we headed to the lodging, a loud voice could possibly be heard from someplace.

Was somebody preventing?

Woman! You shouldnt go that means!

Its my want.

The arguing voices grew nearer.

La! Dy!

On the alternative facet of the backyard the place we had been standing, two individuals appeared alongside the dissuading voice.

Maybe a mischievous woman and her servant.

I turned my head to take a look at the 2 individuals who appeared on the alternative facet of the backyard.

Unaware that I would encounter somebody I do know.

Why are you right here?

The one that appeared earlier than me was somebody I knew.
