Chapter 40: Chapter 39
Book I Chapter 39
…
The second in command in the Inner Sect, Elder Gan Dong-il, was displeased at the reaction of Mi Jin-ah, but he did not push this matter. He just glared at the figure of the young man named Wu Jin.
In fact, he is a bit jealous of Il San Joon for having received an adoptive son who is talented, wise, and brave. So how could he let the couple parade that mere mortal trash in his face?
For this reason, he blurted out those things in his annoyance.
In his mind, he is already thinking about how to deal with that bastard.
However, he has no hold of the Outer Sect and once it is known that he is interfering, his 2nd in command position would surely be gone and he might even be demoted as a regular elder of the sect instead.
That is why… he needed to make a deep plan towards that girly brat.
"Elder Il San Joon, I hope that you will discipline your adoptive son on not to lie about these kinds of things…" he suddenly said with a deep frown.
This time, Il San Joon showed a frown on his face and then looks at the door of the main hall.
Then in a deep voice, he suddenly said.
"Are you interfering in the Outer Sect matters… Elder Gan?" anger could now be seen as his aura began to suppress the other disciples in the hall.
The Inner Sect disciples suddenly collapse on the ground while bearing his pressure.
"You call my son trash… Then what do you call them? Limp?!" he growled as he flicks his sleeve and then left.
The face of Elder Gan was contorted while watching Il San Joon's back leaving.
His eyes landed on the Inner Sect disciples who have fallen on the ground.
"You are all trash! How could you be weaker than a mortal?!" Elder Gan growled as he walks away from the hall too.
Everyone inside the hall was dumbfounded especially those that fell on the ground.
"Sigh… those two are at it again…" an elder shook his head and also followed outside.
The supposed welcoming festivity was suddenly ruined because of this event.
And right now, most of them are blaming it on that young man named Wu Jin.
…
Meanwhile, Hyuna was brought by Madam Il to their house.
"Don't listen to them Little Jin…" she said as she got seated while Hyuna stood beside her.
"Don't worry mother… I'm fine with that... As long as I have you, and those people who love and trusted me, I'm okay with anything…" Hyuna said with a smile.
Though she said this, she also has a goal to further her strength.
In fact, if she could activate the rune on her clothes, then she would be able to withstand that killing intent. But she did not want to activate it as she did not want people to see her true strength for now.
Actually, she is already planning something, but she still did not know if it would be effective.
However, what had happened in the forest has already pushed her to hasten her plans. She has to be able to push this pretense to the next level.
To do that, she has to be one of them and not mere mortal trash anymore.
But the problem is that she has not finished learning and forming the rune array yet. She still needed some time.
The rune array is called Power Core. It is an external power source storage that a Rune Maker can use to create more complex arrays. It is one of the keys for her to reach the Rune Maker master level.
After the two had a talk, Madam Il left the old courtyard and went back home.
Hyuna lies on her bed and looks at the ceiling. Her mind is filled with the rune figures and array combinations as she mentally calculates everything.
However, it has been a couple of minutes, but she is still unable to complete the calculation which made her feel a bit frustrated.
"Are you angry?" a voice interrupted her musing as she quickly looks in the direction of the window.
There stood a handsome young man with a wide grin on his face.
"Senior brother Kwan… What are you doing here?" she asked as she got seated.
Il Kwan jumps inside the room using the window.
"Geez… I have a door right there, you know." She complained as Il Kwan hops on the stool.
"Hey, I was thinking… would you want to go out again… you know, unwind your frustrations…" Il Kwan said as if trying to placate her frustrations.
Hyuna shook her head.
"There is another beast in there… A fire wolf… It's around 3 to 4 meters tall, I think… It was the beast that took that guy away…" she suddenly said as she recalled something.
When Il Kwan heard her words, he showed disbelief in his eyes.
"No way… are you sure about this?" he asked with disbelief.
"Yes, I saw it with my own eyes…"
"Wait a minute… How… How did you… How could you defeat that guy? He almost at the Meridian refining stage, you know…" Il Kwan frowned as he looks at Hyuna suspiciously.
Hyuna's mouth twitches as she seems to have blundered a bit.
But she trusted Il Kwan and he is the only person she would always confide… besides Madam Il. Though she has not told her secret of being a girl to him, she trusted him with everything else.
She heaves a deep sigh and then gritted her teeth.
"I will tell you my secret… But can you give me time to think about it… When I decided I will surely show it to you…" she said with a smile.
Upon seeing that smile, the heart of Il Kwan skipped a beat.
But then his imagination suddenly went wild when he realized that Wu Jin is saying about a secret. What kind of secret does he have?
Plus from the way he looks upon telling him that, he looks a bit shy and reluctant which made him suddenly remember that thing that he saw last time in the bathroom.
Upon thinking about this point, Il Kwan's face suddenly turned ruddy.
"Umm… Senior… Are you okay?" Hyuna asked finding it a bit confusing when Il Kwan suddenly showed such an expression.
"Ahem… I… I will go now… As you said… you can tell me anytime… Okay? Don't… Don't worry about anything… your… your secret is safe with me." he said as he stood up and then walked out of the room feeling a bit light-headed.
His mind suddenly imagined a scenario.
"Umm… Senior Brother…" in his mind, Hyuna is currently wearing a white transparent gown while her demeanor is gentle and calm like a blooming flower.
Her lips are as red as the roses and her long eyelashes flutter in the air.
He could not help but show a look of longing on his face as he imagines such a scenario.
Like a fairy coming down to earth, greeting and awing all the beings of the planet.
He could not help but smile like a fool while walking on the path.
"Senior brother… I wanted to tell you the truth… I… I was the one…" she said while she entices him with her long slender fingers and gentle words.
She suddenly leans on his chest making him feel giddy while showing an expression of bliss.
"Yesss… Come on… tell me…" he said with a loving tone.
"Umm… Can… Can I call you… by your name?" she suddenly said.
Il Kwan's body shivered in excitement as he swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
"Yes… call my name…"
"Il Kwan…" she called.
Her words made him almost lose his mind in excitement.
"I can't take it anymore!" he shouted as he suddenly hugs her in his arms.
"Can I… Can I… Kiss you?" he asked.
She did not reply and just fluttered those long eyelashes of hers making him really helplessly fall for her charms.
He puckered his lips and then slowly closes his eyes.
"Umm… Il Kwan…"
"Mwaa… Mwaa…" he muttered as he drew closer to her.
"Il Kwan…?" a soft voice asked but he did not mind.
"Il Kwaaannn!?" another voice echoed in his ears but he still did not put it in his mind.
"Il Kwaaaaannn!!!!" suddenly someone shouted.
Pa!
Suddenly, Il Kwan felt a stinging pain on his cheeks as he opened his eyes.
Then he noticed that he is in bed and on his arms is his pillow.
Then his head tilted to the side and saw the glaring cold eyes of his mother.
"Mother! What… How?" he seemed a bit confused as he looks around.
He is trying to find Wu Jin, but then he was a bit dumbfounded.
"Damn… it was all a dream?" he muttered.
"What dream?! You… are you trying to molest a Junior Sister in the sect?!" Mi Jin-ah shouted as she lifted the wooden stick in her hand.
Il Kwan saw this and quickly jumps out of bed.
"Mother… you… why are you so fierce…" he grumbled.
"You… you little rascal… you are actually imagining something bad, right? You're even kissing your own pillow." Min Jin-ah angrily scolded.
Right at this time, Il San Joon passes by the door and heaves a helpless sigh.
"Your son is in love, let him be… Hehe…" he chuckled.
"You… What are you teaching your son?!" she suddenly scolded him.
"I'm just saying that it was normal for boys like him to imagine girls you know…" Il San Joon defended.
"Ahh… So you also did the same when you were young?"
Il San Joon suddenly grinned.
"Of course, and you also know who's that woman in my dreams, right?" he said while flashing his brows in a suggestive manner.
Upon seeing this, the beautiful face of Mi Jin-ah turned crimson.
"You…"
Il Kwan saw his father winking at him.
Min Jin-ah helplessly walked out of the room but before she could go out she stopped as she remembers the reason why she is looking for her son this early in the morning.
"I almost forgot… Tell Little Jin that I wanted him to continue his training. He is still too weak. Elder Han told us that he can develop further his physique if he continues his training…" she said then walks out with a slight annoyance on her face.
