Book I Chapter 23
…
"Why are you doing this to me?!" shouted a female voice that Hyuna has already recognized.
"I… I thought you said at that time that you would help me no matter what. Then… then why are you trying to escape from that promise?!" the woman asked with a broken-hearted expression and pitiful voice.
"You… You are trying to twist my words!" the voice of Senior Gong seemed annoyed while talking to the woman.
"Twist your words? I am the one who is suffering here! My… My chastity and dignity were ruined because of that man and you denied me, my revenge! You have to be responsible… or else…" she threatened as her expression changed.
"Sigh… What do you want? I am not going to marry you… As I have told you I… I already have a fiancée…" Senior Gong seriously said but has a hint of hesitation at the end of his sentence.
"Hahaha… Then… Then I will be your concubine." She suggested.
"Are you crazy?!"
Hyuna heard some movement.
"Wait… Prove to me tonight that you have a fiancée and I will take a step back. I will even give you my blessing…" she said with a slight smirk on her face.
Hyuna showed a slight interest and wanted to take a peek. She truly wanted to know how shameless this woman could be that she would actually force such a thing on Senior Gong.
Though they are not that close, she truly has a good impression of him.
Hyuna carefully looks at the edge of the walls and saw that there is a passage nearby.
She carefully took a few steps and soon arrives at that passage.
After arriving in the passage, she carefully leaned forward trying to take a peek.
Deep within her heart, she is truly interested in knowing this juicy piece of news. It is like an itch that she needed to scratch.
Growing up in the Outer Sect, she has learned a lot of gossips the sect brought to her by the naughty Il Kwan, so she grew up knowing a lot of things about the Outer and Inner Sect.
That is why she is well-informed even though she is just a mere mortal in the sect.
Plus, as a young girl, she has that feeling of curiosity about a lot of things in this world.
That is the reason why, upon hearing what those two are walking about, she could not help but want to see them in person with her own two eyes.
It's like words are not enough to satisfy her curious hunger.
As soon as she leaned on the opening, she quickly tried to search for the two figures on the other side of the wall.
Judging from their voices, she could already determine their location, but as she leaned and took a peak, her brows scrunch as she did not see anyone inside.
She frowned and then muttered.
"I could have sworn that I heard their voices in here…" she muttered while she squatted on the ground and touched her lips as if thinking.
Seeing that there is no one on the other side, she slowly stood up and patted her robe.
"Sigh… I guess they have already left." She said heaving a helpless sigh.
It is unknown why Hyuna felt that way… it was as if she felt unhappy by not seeing the scene she expected to see.
As she turns around to leave, her footsteps immediately froze on the spot.
Two pairs of eyes are glued to her.
The other one has a look of curiosity while the other one has that murderous expression on her face.
"Who are you?" asked the woman in front of her.
Hyuna did not look at this woman for long that time, so she could not see her face clearly. Now that she had seen her, she could say that the woman is actually very pretty.
But of course, she knew why Senior Gong did not like the woman.
She might be pretty and has a curvy body, but her attitude and temperament are not that attractive.
Plus, from their conversation, it seems that it was not Senior Gong who has taken her chastity but another guy.
She is just using Senior Gong's gullible and straightforward attitude to force him into taking responsibility as it seems that he saw what happened and might have killed the guy or something.
Well, that is what she thought anyway.
Hyuna looks at the two and then lowered her gaze.
In her mind, she is already thinking about how to explain why she is in this area.
"Answer me?!" the woman asked agitatedly.
"I… I am…"
Suddenly, an idea came to her mind.
Without hesitation, she kneeled down on one knee and touches the rune array on her arm. As she activated the array, her body has already transformed into that of a man.
"I'm sorry… Heok Op… Oppa…" she said while feeling a bit cringy.
She did not have a choice but to do such a thing as she knew that if the woman got angry, she would surely die.
She can assess the woman's strength at the 1st Element Law Perception realm.
This is one of the unique natural traits of Hyuna that she discovered while staying at the sect.
Gong Heok showed a deep frown on his face as he looks at the veiled woman before him.
Hearing those words, the expression of the woman beside Gong Heuk turned ugly.
"How dare you!" she wanted to strike this scoundrel in front of her for saying such words.
"Junior Dam… What are you doing?" Gong Heok suddenly said as he catches the sword that is about to strike Hyuna.
However, a strong wind still blasted at Hyuna and threw her on the ground.
Her veil was taken off and her beautiful face was now bare for the two to see.
Gong Heok froze on the spot and looks at the beautiful woman before him. He then frowns when he recognizes who this figure is.
The woman called Senior Dam also froze on the spot as she saw that semi-familiar face in front of her.
"You… You are that person who pretends to be a man… right?" she suddenly said while pointing at Hyuna.
"So… you are following me and my group at that time. Are you interested in Senior Gong Heok? I will tell you this, stop your wishful thinking and scram!" Dam Mi Ran shouted while glaring at Hyuna.
Hyuna picks herself up and her pitiful expression and the sway of her beautiful robe were displayed in the eyes of the two people.
Even Gong Heok's heart skipped a beat upon seeing the pitiful appearance of his junior.
He almost fell for the idea that the guy before him is actually really a woman.
But of course, he has been in the sect for a while now and even saw this guy take a bath in the river with others. So how could he not know that Wu Jin is actually a man? He just has that womanly face that could even topple the most beautiful female disciple in the sect.
"You… you are wrong senior…" Hyuna suddenly said while she staggeringly stands up.
She felt a bit dizzy after getting hit by that gust of wind.
"I… I am not anyone to Senior Gong… I am his… fiancée." She suddenly said.
A pin-drop silence enveloped the entire area as the two figures gazed at the beautiful figure in front of them.
Clang!!!
The sound of something dropping to the ground was heard which caught the attention of the three people.
By this time, Ji Eun, Han Joonho, and two other disciples actually arrived and had seen this spectacle.
The one who dropped the plate is one of the disciples with his jaw almost falling to the ground.
Meanwhile, Han Joonho and Ji Eun are looking at Hyuna with complicated looks in their eyes.
Upon seeing that there are people around them, the expression of Dam Mi Ran turned awkward. She suddenly turns around and jumps up to the roof of a house.
Before leaving, she turns around and glares at Hyuna.
"Senior Gong… she might be beautiful… But she is a mere mortal. I could not believe that you would rather be a fiancé of trash than be with me. Humph!" Dam Mi Ran glared at Gong Heok who is not saying anything.
Feeling a bit helpless, Dam Mi Ran quickly turns around. She did not have to shame herself at this moment. She also has her pride.
"I will wait till your mind changes or after she is already dead… My patience is long you know... I can wait." She said then lifted her head up high and proudly left through the darkness of the night.
After she left, the four people quickly walked to Hyuna.
"Damn you, Junior Jin… You… are you really a man or a woman?" asked one of the disciples as he tried to touch Hyuna's chest.
Pa!!!
Gong Heok hits the back of the head of that guy.
"Junior Jin… You did not have to do that…" he then said while showing a smile on his face.
He also knew that this junior of his just have helped him big time.
"Hehe… That is not his idea senior… It was mine…" Han Joonho flaunted with a smug expression.
But then he suddenly felt a strong force hitting his stomach.
"Ouch!!! Why did you hit me? This strength… are you really that a mortal?" he suddenly cried while glaring at Hyuna.
"I don't know the reason but… I just wanted to hit you for once." She said as she smirked and then looks at Gong Heok.
"Senior Gong is in trouble, we just decided to help. Anyway, since this farce is already over. I now need to change out of this dress…" Hyuna said as she wanted to walk away.
Gong Heok did not say anything and just give these juniors of his a grateful nod and smiled.
"Oh, no you don't… Hehehe… Now that you are in that dress… it would be a bother to change. I think it suits you better anyways… Let's just go and enjoy the festival!" Han Joonho said as he grabbed her hand and drags her with the group.
Hyuna helplessly walked with them feeling a bit awkward.
Meanwhile, Ji Eun showed a complex glint in his eyes as he watches the two walk at the front of the group.
No one knew what he was thinking.
