Chapter 130 Temporary Joining (4)

Proofread

I was surprised that Yeonju Go accepted my offer. She was different from the other Top Ten in maintaining her face but not overusing her powers over others. I smiled at thinking Yujung may finally improve.

“Thank you for accepting.”

“You seem more thankful to that than me giving you my entire motel… but she doesn’t seem happy.”

I turned to Yujung, who looked resentful. It seemed like she was feeling betrayed at me not teaching her, like I said. I sighed inwardly at her childishness. She seemed to not realize the enormity of the chance that she had just received. I would have not been happy in Yeonju Go’s place.

Yeonju Go looked unperturbed and smiled after glancing at me and Yujung.

“I am always ready, but I won’t go easy. If you want to learn, come to me, you child.”

Yeonju Go clucked her tongue, and she looked condescendingly at Yujung. Even Hayeon told her to grab the chance, while Anhyun seemed eager to take her place.

Yujung clenched her teeth at Yeonju Go’s words and turned her head around. I sent an apologetic look to Yeonju and decided to stop things here. I thought I would need to talk with Yujung soon.

Everyone went back to their schedule, and Hayeon dragged Ansol upstairs. While Ansol looked around for help, Hayeon was quick.

Yeonju Go was going to clear the tables on the first floor to set up a training area. While I was not surprised at Anhyun being eager to help, Sangyong Shin’s offer was sudden. However, he seemed to be sincerely grateful to Yeonju Go, and I nodded to him to show my appreciation of his help.

Yujung had gone straight up the stairs, and I slowly stood up as I looked at her retreating back. While I would have scolded her, I now knew how much she thought of me. I thought I would gently persuade her.

However, Yeonju Go stopped me when I was about to start for the stairs.

“Don’t. Let her be.”

“What?”

“I wanted to say this before. A caravan leader should not try to take care of trivial problems like this. You should let her realize things for yourself.”

“But…”

Vivian now spoke with a hesitant expression.

“I agree with her. I did not want to say this, but you seem to be too focused on the young, especially the two not here. So, don’t go.”

“Right. She doesn’t know the chance you’ve given her. If I was in her place…”

Anhyun also added a word, and I knew that Yeonju Go was right. However, what saddened me was that I wanted to say that she was not that bad to them.

“I don’t know how strong that child will become, but the mentality is important for survival here. So, just focus on your own work and trust that others will grow stronger.”

Yeonju Go softly pushed me in the opposite direction, and I thought things over. I knew that I was too different from my first time here, but I had been confident that I would be able to return to my original personality. I just thought since they trusted me… it was then I had to laugh at myself.

I may have also been swayed by the fact I was not alone, and others thought me special. That may have been why I had been too soft on them. I now walked up the stairs to the rooms I used as my office to organize the timetable for from now onward.

“Suhyun Kim.”

I heard Vivian’s voice from behind as she had followed me to the third floor. I turned around.

“What is it?”

“I wanted to ask you about what Yeonju Go said. Are you married?!”

“Of course not.”

“Then why had she said such things at the table?”

I sighed at Vivian’s words. Everyone else at the breakfast table would have realized what Yeonju Go meant if she was acting like this. However, I was going to let it slide since Yeonju Go had organized things nicely. I began to explain to Vivian as she leaned her head with question marks flying around. I said since the young ones thought of me as a father figure and called me as such at times, Yeonju Go had made a joke to tease me.

Vivian laughed after I finished my quite specific explanation.

“Well, I can understand why she said that now.”

“If someone else calls out ‘father’ or ‘married man’ from now on, there will be payback.”

While it was jest on my part, I was not all that happy being called a father at my age. Vivian stared at me for a minute before a soft flush came up to her face.

“You don’t like to be called married?”

“Correct.”

She spoke up again at my answer.

“You have no children and have no wife…”

I began to feel irritated at Vivian repeating nonsensical words, which showed in my face.

“Are you teasing me?”

Vivian did not answer me but turned around while continuing to nod. I kept back since she seemed to want me to tease her, so I tapped her head once and went to the third floor. While I appreciated having more comrades, I began to think that things would get even more hectic in the future.

<The Northern City Barbara – Golden Lion Clan House>

“So, they’re going to announce it tomorrow??

“Yes, our clan is planning to raise our fighting spirit and gather people. We do like to show off.”

“She’s lucky. The Golden Lion Clan is supporting her fiercely. I came here after years of hard work, but someone can come in with a good class and a good man with less than a year of experience.”

“I don’t like that young girl’s sharp eyes.”

“Speak carefully. Hyunwoo Park is soft on her.”

“Her face is going to be annoying after that announcement tomorrow, that’s for sure.”

“I agree.”

The sneering voices left the corridor, and a woman stood at the shadowy corner. She was beautiful with raven-like hair and white skin. Her expression was cold, and she lacked a smile, but she was still exquisite. While her face was impassive, one could faintly see that she was annoyed as she stared at the corridor where the voices had gone.

She sighed and looked at the jewel in her hand. She clenched it instinctively but let it drop on the floor. Her face now turned sorrowful as she looked at the jewel.

“Suhyun…”

She was Hanbyeol Kim, the Jewel Mage.
