Chapter 157: Climbing Duckweed to Cross Water
After a farewell banquet, Baek Moo-jin and his companions mounted the horses Hong Yu-gang had prepared and set out early the next day for Hanjung.
Seo Mun-geuk and Hong Yu-gang remained briefly in Nanju.
As Baek Moo-jin had said, it was to act separately.
Baek Moo-jin’s party heading straight for Hanjung numbered six in total, and the combination was quite good.
Two absolute masters: the King of Fist and the King of Sword.
Two disciples of the absolute masters: Go Seon-woo and Dang Gwi-sun.
Baek Moo-jin and Jin So-hye, both supreme masters and lovers.
After setting out, they naturally paired off into two groups. Of course, advice and exchanges of opinions on martial arts followed one after another.
It was a surprising experience for all six of them.
Especially Kwonwang and Dowang, who had urged restraint in sparring, found common ground as they talked—without harming each other—and began showing off their respective martial arts skills to one another.
For instance, Kwonwang would knock down a tree with his martial wind while walking, and Dowang would send it flying with his martial wind before it even hit the ground.
Then, they would simultaneously snort in derision… or, when they absolutely couldn’t help but praise the other, they would leave a lukewarm remark like, “Not bad.”
Occasionally, when the two would stop talking and exchange words as if they were about to properly face off, Baek Moo-jin would immediately step in to calm his two seniors.
