Chapter 266

As they ordered simple meat noodles and food, they talked normally while sending telepathic messages for important messages . The orange tag that could bring them to the Godly Doctor was given to the special expedition team, so they had to search through the entire Sword Creek .

“Let’s hope the rain stops tomorrow . ”

While they were talking, the old man brought out the food from the kitchen and placed it down on the table . At least he didn’t carry his pipes while he was carrying food .

“Well, the rain will stop early morning tomorrow . ”

It seemed he had heard a bit of what they talked . Hu Bong said, “The rain is so heavy . Do you really think so?”

“Haha . I have lived in this region for 30 years . We are not in the monsoon period . This is just passing rain . ”

“Oh! That’s good!”

Hu Bong spoke excitedly to Yeowun and the old man frowned and asked, “Hmm… Are you folks trying to enter Sword Creek?”

As he finished, the dining hall turned silent immediately . It was even hard to believe that the hall was noisy just until while ago . Guests were acting if they weren’t interested, but they were focusing on what the old man was saying .

‘This is strange . ’

Chun Yeowun and his members felt the strange air inside the hall and glanced around . There were two other groups who had learned martial arts, but all three martial artist groups stopped and focused on them . This was weird . The old man continued, “Let me tell you . Don’t enter Sword Creek . ”

“Huh?”

Hu Bong looked back and the old man took the plate and picked up his pipe . He then took a long seep and let out a sigh as he spoke .

“Whew… there are others who have not come out after going into that creek . I just hope you don’t kill yourselves . ”

“…Old man . What is that about?” Yang Danwa asked . Before he left, he had heard a lot of information about Sword Creek from Huan Yi . But they never heard anyone other than the special expedition team going missing within Sword Creek .

“Well, there were martial artists like you folks in recent days but I never saw them come out after they went into that creek . ”

The old man sighed as the thunder roared outside, with lightning flashing . Everyone was now silent and was focusing on what the old man was saying .

“Is there something happening inside the creek?”

“…I’m just an old man at the inn . I wouldn’t know much… but I warned you . And when the rain stops, there will be fog . Don’t try to go in and kill yourself . Just go back . ”

The old man spoke, and all members of Yeowun’s group became grim . They wanted to ask, but they couldn’t bear to ask while all the people around were listening to them . Yang Danwa sent a telepathic message to Yeowun .

[We have many ears here, so I’ll ask the old man later about the details . You should get some rest after dinner, my Lord . ]

[I understand . ]

Yeowun thought Yang Danwa was correct so they returned to their dinner . The old man went back to his pipe and the dining hall became noisy again . But the only difference…

[Brother Mu . It seems like something’s happened to him . Maybe the innkeeper knows something . ]

[To God all mighty… Brother, don’t jump to conclusions . ]

[I’m sorry . ]

There were countless telepathic messages going back and forth in the hall . Yeowun was able to listen to all of them through his ears as Nano worked to tap in on them . There was another group from the forces of justice and it seemed like they were searching for something within the creek .

[Something must have happened within the creek!]

[We can’t be sure yet . There’s no way our lieutenant would have died . ]

[But…]

[We will go on with our search as planned . ]

[Yes, sir . ]

It seemed they too, like Yeowun, were looking for missing people . But another group seemed to have a different purpose .

[This is strange . Maybe the object wasn’t there?]

[Impossible . No one died because they didn’t bring it before . ]

[…Maybe something happened to the Godly Doctor?]

[That’s impossible too . Do you not know who protects the Godly Doctor?]

[Yes, I know . ]

[There are too many people here . We will depart as soon as the rain stops . ]

Other groups seemed to be after the Godly Doctor . It seemed like they were talking about the orange tag .

‘It is certain that the Godly Doctor is within Sword Creek . But why did Yin Moha and the group go missing?’

He wasn’t sure what happened to them . Yin Moha was a warrior at the end stage of the superior master level . If she were to be put down, then it required a much more powerful warrior . At least Yeowun was able to find out that all three warrior groups here were here to find someone within Sword Creek .

And contrary to the old man’s expectation, the rain became more heavy . It was concerning, but Yeowun and his members decided to take the night off and rest . As they walked up the stairs, Yang Danwa spoke .

“Master, you can rest here while…”

That’s when Hu Bong interrupted them, “Wait . ”

“What?”

“The two-person room is said to be small . I don’t think it’s a good idea to have three people share it . ”

Yang Danwa became dumbfounded at Hu Bong’s words .

“What are you talking about? The master should use the room al…”

“How can we share this small room with a wo… . Hmph . Man, Mun Ku? It’s better for her to share the room with Master and guard him . ”

“HUH!?”

Hu Bong spoke with a cough and Mun Ku blushed . Yang Danwa knew that Mun Ku was a girl, but he just thought it was better for the Lord to rest alone .

‘Hmm… well, it might be better for someone to stay by the Lord . ’

Yang Danwa agreed, as that was a valid point . But he didn’t like idea of sharing the room with the talkative Hu Bong .

“Well, Mun Ku . You should share the room with the master tonight . ”

“Good! We should go to our room then! Haha!”

Hu Bong then pushed Yang Danwa’s back into their room . And as they walked in, Hu Bong turned to glance at Yeowun and winked his eyes .

‘My Lord! Your best servant Hu Bong, has prepared you for the night! I hope you have a wonderful night! Hahahahaha!’

Yeowun frowned .
