It was strange that Jegal Min was so wary of Danmokbi. I tilted my head and asked with a grin, “Brother, why are you acting like this all of a sudden?”
Jegal Min turned his head sideways and said, “Step back, Yeon-a.”
“But…”
Jegal Min and Danmokbi, the two precious people to me, were confronting each other so sharply. How could I just stand still?
As I was unsure of what to do, glancing at Jegal Min for guidance, Danmokbi bowed her head and replied in a polite tone, “It couldn’t be helped because Yeon-a was in danger. Doesn’t Jegal So-ga know about the situation since he was also there?”
It seemed something had happened on their way to rescue me. I grabbed Jegal Min’s sleeve and asked, “Why are you like this? What happened outside?”
“…Let’s treat Danmok So-hyup first.”
After neatly tying the bandage to stop the bleeding, Jegal Min covered Danmokbi with his outer garment, warning that her body temperature might drop. Then, with a cautious expression, he said, “Moving recklessly could cause the wound to open further and lead to a more serious injury. We should lift her using a stretcher, but it seems we need to fly downward for now.”
“Our family’s healer, Jegal So-ga, and the others sincerely care about me. Don’t worry.”
Not only the three of us but also the guards of Danmok So-hyup had come up. As I breathed a sigh of relief, Jegal Min asked in a cold voice, “But how was this person by your side?”
Jegal Min stared at Danmokbi with a clearly cautious gaze. I, confused, stammered in response, “I don’t know. He just secretly followed us. But later, Hyung-nim, who came to save me, got angry and tried to kill him…”
“Unlike Danmok So-hyup, Danmok So-hyup wasn’t with you when he set out to save you.”
I finally understood why Jegal Min was reacting so sensitively. He thought that Danmokbi and Danmok So-hyup had prearranged to distract Jegal Min and secretly rescue me.
“Do we have a secret passage that we didn’t share with you?”
Did Danmokbi also know that Danmok So-hyup had sneaked in alone?
Danmokbi answered with a firm expression, “I have never heard of it. It’s entirely my brother’s unilateral decision.”
The word “brother” coming from Danmokbi’s lips sounded strangely peculiar.
“If you knew about the secret passage and deliberately delayed time, you wouldn’t be silent at the main house.”
“Absolutely not. I swear to the sky.”
Jegal Min questioned Danmokbi until the end, but eventually nodded at her resolute response.
“Let’s make a stretcher for now.”
To safely carry the patient down, we needed a makeshift stretcher that seemed to be used by rescue workers. Since it was the job of Danmok So-hyup’s guards, Jegal Min and I stepped aside. When Danmokbi disappeared from sight, Jegal Min asked in a softened tone,
“Are there any injuries?”
“No.”
“Did the leader of the Blood Sect do anything outrageous?”
“I waited quietly. He treated me well too.”
As Hyul Jung-hyuk said, we got along quite well. The people of the Blood Sect had some unexpectedly charming aspects.
“When I saw people standing in front of me asking for food, I was pleasantly surprised.”
I absentmindedly stroked the head of the white tiger, recalling the days in the Blood Sect. Jegal Min’s gaze shifted from my closed eyes to the white tiger resting its face in my hands.
“Thanks to this cat, we could find our way here. Cats are not affected by geomancy.”
“Ah, I see.”
It seemed that the white tiger had guided them, explaining why people arrived so quickly.
Looking at the white tiger with admiration, it turned its head and let out a snort.
[Dash] Hmph.Feeling embarrassed, I promised to go back quickly and cook grilled mackerel, which the white tiger liked. Then, smiling, I thanked Jegal Min, who had come all the way to rescue me.
“Thank you, brother. If you hadn’t come, I would have waited here, hoping for the day someone would come to rescue me.”
An unbreakable chain, the perennial chain. It sent shivers down my spine when I considered that it might never be broken. However, unexpectedly, Hyul Jung-hyuk had released it and left.
Was it because it was such a precious item, or did he think it still remained in the palm of his hand even if released? Either way, it was equally unsettling.
I was contemplating this with a serious expression when Jegal Min, for a different reason, frowned and muttered.
“I don’t know. Whether to say it was saved.”
“What?”
I was now free, and Jegal Min was right in front of me. If it wasn’t to say I was saved, what else could he say?
Jegal Min opened his lips with a hesitant expression, then closed them again. At that moment, from the place where I used to stay, Nam Gung-ryeo called us.
“We’re ready to move the injured person! Please come back quickly.”
Looking at Nam Gung-ryeo’s radiant face, my current concerns felt trivial. Jegal Min lightly pushed my back and said, “Let’s talk after leaving this place.”
It was certain that it would be an unpleasant conversation.
My Ex-Girlfriend Is The Regent In The Female-dominant World (Male lead transmigrates to the matriarchal world)
Two years ago, Gu Sui picked up a homeless woman in ancient costume from the street.
Apart from occasionally claiming to be a princess from a female-dominant country due to illness, her figure, appearance, intelligence, and martial arts skills were impeccable.
Naturally evolving from roommates to girlfriends, as time went on, Gu Sui found it increasingly difficult to tolerate her queen syndrome.
“Mu Jiulu, can you stop controlling me inside and out? Let’s break up.”
Gu Sui made a breakup call, and since then, he couldn’t find any trace of her.
A year later, Gu Sui, who was planning to move, woke up the next day and found himself in a different place.
“Young Master, today is the day you choose your Wife-master through martial arts competition at Jade Dew Pavilion. Please get up quickly.”
Gu Sui: Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?
As the only son of a general’s mansion in a female-dominant dynasty, the young empress personally issued a decree allowing Gu Sui to select his Wife-master through martial arts competition. Whoever could defeat him could marry him.
Gu Sui: “……”
He didn’t inherit the original owner’s martial prowess, so anyone could defeat him! And what the hell is a Wife-master?
Forced to come to Jade Dew Pavilion, the densely packed women below made Gu Sui’s agoraphobia act up, and his face was full of resistance.
Until he saw the Regent sitting on the second floor, with a smile on the corner of her lips, her eyes wicked and nonchalant.
Hmm… she looked a little familiar.
It turned out that the Regent also found him a little familiar.
Mu Jiulu fiddled with her bone clasp, her deep gaze locked on the man who was out of place in this world.
“Finally, I found you.”
