Chapter 240: Encounter-1
“Huff! Huff!”
All the way down the road, Jin So-eun was gasping for breath.
And that was only natural.
While the others just walked along, she alone moved swiftly, stepping with her martial arts footwork.
Of course, Jin So-eun had always been diligent.
She possessed both talent and martial arts skill, yet never grew arrogant, always striving diligently in her training—truly a hardworking genius.
But now, she seemed different even from back then.
She was pushing herself so hard it felt almost desperate.
Seon Woo-jin glanced at her state, then said while pretending to look at the surrounding scenery.
“The scenery here is truly splendid. Why don’t we take a moment to rest?”
Son Dae-su, the wandering scholar, quickly chimed in.
“Even this old man finds the scenery here quite splendid. I was just thinking how nice it would be to relax with a drink while taking in such views. Thank you, Young Master In—no, Young Master Seonwoo.”
At that, Seon Woo-jin smiled faintly and replied.
“For now, it’s best to call me Inparang. I still have unfinished business to attend to in that role. Well then, everyone, let’s take a short break.”
Then Son Dae-su’s granddaughter, Son I-rang, looked around with a puzzled expression and muttered.
“Taking a break is nice and all… but what’s different about the scenery around us? To me, the mountains and trees look exactly the same as before?”
Seon Woo-jin and Son Dae-su pretended not to hear her words and sat down.
