Childhood Friend of the Zenith – 584 (Part 1)



584 (Part 1)

”’〈 Chapter 585 〉 Nice to meet you.

Finding the woman wasn’t that difficult.

No matter how vast Henan was she was an unmistakable figure with her striking features.

Even a little spread of information would lead to her being recognized quickly.

Yes she was too noticeable.

Light blue eyes.

A subtle chill felt in the air.

Her captivating gaze and the aura emanating from her appearance.

She reminded me of the coy girl from the Moyong Clan.

If I were to find something different it would be that she had white hair. No if I focused there would surely be other differences but I would have to look closely to notice them.

This means she resembled her that much.

Moyong Hee-ah.

That woman looked very much like Moyong Hee-ah.

Not to the extent of being identical like Heavenly Demon and Wi Seol-ah though.

‘Is she the young lady?’

The young lady of the North Sea.

To be precise the fourth daughter of the Ice Palace Head.

A pureblood from the North Sea Ice Palace that had come to the Central Plains after several decades.

And.

‘A troublemaker who suddenly ran away.’

The person who caused a ruckus as soon as she arrived in Henan.

That woman was wrinkling her nose.

As if something displeased her.

While I was wondering why she was acting like that the woman spoke up.

“Nice to meet you.”

It started with a light greeting. Then she continued.

“Oh I got caught….”

Her following voice was filled with disappointment.

“I thought I wouldn’t get caught until dinner.”

I tilted my head at her words.

“How did you get caught? The plan was thorough… Hmm.”

Something.

What should I say?

“Hmm… Running away is harder than I thought. Right?”

“…”

Listening to her I felt like I had a lot to say.

How should I express this?

‘Ah.’

Yes it came to me.

‘Is it a sense of alienation?’

This was a sense of alienation.

Her playful tone was filled with a somewhat scattered feeling.

You might think what’s wrong with that but it was the alienation coming from her appearance.

She could easily be called a twin of Moyong Hee-ah.

With a cold and sharp voice she looked like she would lash out yet she acted like a mischievous child which felt subtly off.

I looked at the woman with a slight frown.

‘The young lady of the North Sea.’

A descendant of the Ice Palace Head who had matched swords with the Sword Lord.

‘Hmm.’

Looking at her level it seemed like a first-class chin-up. She must be over twenty.

‘Not bad for her age.’

But it was a level that was ambiguous to call outstanding.

Even though I didn’t know much about the North Sea I could say she was a dullard born into a prestigious family in the Central Plains.

That seemed to be the right evaluation.

As I was judging that and looking at the young lady.

“Excuse me.”

The young lady spoke to me.

“I know I’m pretty but aren’t you staring a bit too much?”

“…?”

What? What did I just hear?

“You’re going to put a hole in my face. Really… Men…”

As she sighed and spoke the surroundings fell silent.

Just as my expression was about to frown at her unexpected remarks.

“…Young Master.”

Tang So-yeol who was beside me cautiously approached and said.

“I think that Miss is a bit strange.”

I agreed.

It was even more dizzying to hear her speak with a face resembling Moyong Hee-ah.

‘This isn’t easy.’

She was indeed pretty.

It was true that she was beautiful enough to be confident.

That level of appearance was extremely rare in the Central Plains.

‘It’s funny that there are so many like her around.’

I had become immune to it since I had seen so many.

If I were like the idiot I was in my previous life I might have just stared at her because she was so pretty.

Of course.

Naturally that wasn’t the reason now.

‘How did she manage to escape with just that level?’

They said she had escaped brushing off the guards of the Baekhwa Trading Company and even her own guards.

I couldn’t understand the reason.

‘No matter how I look at it she doesn’t seem to be at that level.’

I even checked the martial artists from the Trading Company and most of them were at the peak of their mastery.

They were definitely not low-level enough for the young lady to escape from.

How on earth did that woman manage to run away?

‘I thought she might have some tricks up her sleeve.’

She was a descendant of the Ice Palace Head who had matched swords with the Sword Lord.

I thought it was quite possible but it seemed not to be the case.

It seemed like she had used some other method.

‘I’m not interested in that much.’

It felt like digging too deep so I gave up on it.

There wasn’t even time for that now.

I looked at the young lady and said.

“Let’s go back now. There are quite a few people waiting for you.”

There was irritation in my tone. I tried to hold it back as much as I could but it wasn’t easy.

Then I saw a look of curiosity in the young lady’s expression as she looked at me.

“Are you perhaps angry?”

Her gaze was one of fascination.

What was this?

“I’m not angry but it’s a bit bothersome.”

I answered honestly.

It wasn’t to the point of being angry yet.

“Wow.”

As I spoke the young lady suddenly exclaimed in admiration.

What? What is she really?

‘Should I hit her?’

I found myself thinking that without realizing it.

It didn’t seem like she intended to tease me but it felt really strange.

“I’ve never seen someone get angry at me before. The Central Plains is truly fascinating.”

“…What are you really saying?”

This was my first time.

A woman with such a bothersome vibe.

“Enough… Let’s go.”

I stepped closer.

As I got closer she looked even more like Moyong Hee-ah.

She even had a mole under her eye. If I remembered correctly Moyong Hee-ah had a mole like that too didn’t she?

Was it just a coincidence?

‘…It doesn’t matter right now.’

I had a strange question but I tried to ignore it.

As I approached to grab her the young lady smiled slightly and said to me.

“Are you not going to let me go or something?”

“Yes.”

I replied firmly and she scrunched her nose in disappointment.

Still she seemed to be trying to be compliant…

“Well that won’t do.”

Boom-!

“…Huh?”

Just as I was about to grab her suddenly light began to emanate from the young lady’s body.

What the hell what is this?

Whoosh-!

A chill surged at the tip of my nose.

It was sudden.

At the same time changes were occurring in the young lady’s body.

Her flesh was turning white.

What was happening?

The young lady looked at me seemingly flustered and said something.

“I’m sorry I didn’t want to do this…”

I didn’t understand but for now I slapped the back of her neck.

Whack-!

“Ugh!?”

With that the young lady let out a scream and rolled her eyes back losing consciousness.

She collapsed onto the floor.

Of course I didn’t catch her.

Looking at the woman who fell somewhat awkwardly I said.

“Is she really crazy?”

I didn’t know what she was trying to do but my irritation was at its peak.

What the hell is this?

As I frowned while looking at the young lady.

“Lady…!”

Someone appeared from behind with a hurried voice.

Hearing a familiar voice I turned my head to see Moyong Hee-ah leaning against the wall panting.

“I found you… Huh?”

Moyong Hee-ah’s eyes widened as she looked this way.

The young lady collapsed on the floor and I was watching over her.

Not understanding the situation Moyong Hee-ah’s brows furrowed.

Seeing that I waved my hand and said.

“Long time no see.”

It had been quite a while since I had seen Moyong Hee-ah though not as long as the others.”’
