Light Novel: Volume 11 Episode 2
“Haaa…!”
Samui Yoo stretched out and yawned.
She is the leader of the outer party of the Snow Sword Manor. The adversity she went through until she became the leader of the outside party as a woman was beyond words.
Compared to other places, there is not much discrimination between a man and a woman in Jianghu. Nonetheless, it was still not easy to stand out as a woman in such a place.
It would be better if she was a disciple of a powerful family, a person born with a good bloodline, or a person with outstanding talent. Since only those people had the power to overcome public discrimination.
Unfortunately, Yoo Samui did not belong to that kind.
She was born into an ordinary family and had an ordinary talent.
But one of her strong points is that she had great endurance.
Since she did not mind undergoing the painful training, she did not allow herself to rest in peace even for a moment.
She trained constantly to become stronger, and as a result, she was able to become one of the outer party leaders of the Snow Sword Manor.
Others often doubt that she’d just be satisfied with her current position, but she was genuinely satisfied.
Yoo Samui is clearly aware of the limits of her talent. So she didn’t ask for more recognition or achievements.
As of now, she only wished to stay as the leader of an outer party for a long time.
Today was the day for her group to stand guard at the front gate.
Only Yoo Samui stretched out and yawned. The rest of her subordinates stood still, fully alert.
It was unacceptable for them to be lax given that the war with the Jin family is in full swing.
They watched with their eyes wide open, on the lookout for any unauthorized person approaching the Snow Sword Manor.
Yoo Samui might have looked like she was slacking, but in truth, she was constantly watching her environment with sharp eyes.
‘It doesn’t look like there would be anything special today.’
Fortunately, it seemed that nothing big was going to happen while she was on guard. Still, Yoo Samui didn’t relax.
There is still a lot of time left before her shift ends at dawn.
If she was careless and something happened while she was on duty, then the position she had worked so hard to get could be taken away in an instant.
“Please, I hope nothing happens today…”
But her wish did not come true.
“O, Open the door–!”
Someone’s urgent voice came from far away.
“Why?”
Yoo Samui and the rest of her party glared at the direction where the voice came from. Before they realized it, their hands were already at their weapons which were placed on their waists.
Where their eyes were directed, a man was running while carrying someone on his back.
Both the man running and the person on his back were drenched in blood. Even though there was still a great distance, they could already smell a strong scent of blood coming from him, which was unusual.
Samui Yoo hurriedly shouted,
“Who are you?”
“I am a warrior from the Golden Mountain Manor. The lady is in critical condition right now, so please, quickly let her in!”
“Lady?”
“Yes! Lady Geum is seriously injured!”
In response to the man’s answer, Yoo Samui and her men looked at each other.
“Could it be Lady Geum Suryeon?”
“Well she is the only daughter of the Golden Mountain Manor’s sect leader.”
“Oh my–!”
In an instant, Yoo Samui’s face turned white.
She knew that the Snow Sword Manor had a close relationship with the Golden Mountain Manor.
If something goes wrong with Geum Suryeon, then the Golden Mountain Manor will withdraw their support to the Snow Sword Manor. Such a situation like that had to be prevented at all costs.
Samui Yoo hurriedly ran to the man carrying Geum Suryeon on his back.
“Is she really Lady Geum Suryeon?”
“Can’t you just check her face?”
In response to the man’s answer, Yoo Samui hurriedly looked at the woman on his back. Although there was a lot of blood on her face, her appearance made it clear that she was indeed Geum Suryeon.
“What happened?”
“We were attacked on our way here. Everyone else was killed. Only the lady and I managed to escape.”
“Who the hell?”
“That’s not important right now. We need to hurry up and treat her! Please let us inside!”
“Oh, yes!”
At the man’s words, Yoo Samui came to her senses.
She hurriedly gave orders to the men guarding the main gate.
“Hurry up and open the door! Don’t forget to call for a doctor! I’ll be the one to take them to an empty residence.”
“Yes!”
Yoo Samui’s subordinates answered and then opened the door leading to the Snow Sword Manor.
“Follow me.”
Yoo Samui personally guided the man carrying Geum Suryeon on his back.
Even at a glance, she could tell that Geum Suryeon’s condition was serious. She needed to take her to a doctor as soon as possible to get her treated.
The good thing is that there is currently a good physician staying in the Snow Sword Manor.
As soon as Geum Suryeon lay on the bed in the best room in the guest hall, an old doctor who had heard the news rushed in.
The old doctor did not stop to catch his breath. Without wasting any time, he grabbed Geum Suryeon’s pulse.
Yoo Samui hurriedly interjected,
“How is Lady Geum?”
“Be quiet. I can’t concentrate.”
“I–”
“Doesn’t the environment need to be quiet for me to get her pulse right?”
“Okay!”
Yoo Samui kept her mouth shut at the old doctor’s scolding.
Geum Suryeon seemed to be in critical condition. Yoo Samui hoped that the old doctor would somehow or another hold onto Geum Suryeon’s lifeline.
After closing his eyes for a while and listening to Geum Suryeon’s pulse, the doctor then took out a wooden box containing silver needles from his bosom.
The doctor hurriedly began to insert needles into Geum Suryeon’s entire body.
Only after sticking more than a hundred needles into her body did the doctor breathe out a sigh of relief.
“I managed to save her for the meantime.”
“Phew!”
“It’s too early to be relieved. Her major veins and internal organs are damaged. If she isn’t treated with medicine then her condition will get worse.”
“If you need anything, tell me. We can’t let her die here.”
“I will.”
The doctor nodded. He then looked at the man who had brought Geum Suryeon in the Snow Sword Manor.
“What kind of guy did such a cruel trick on a woman?”
“I don’t know.”
“You do not know?”
“Yes! We suddenly got into a fight—”
“There’s a person in Runan with a swollen liver enough to touch Lady Geum? Who is it?”
“I don’t know. It’s hard to tell who he is because of his ordinary appearance.”
“Do you have any idea what kind of martial arts he used?”
“No. I was beaten in an instant. There was a dead body near the man that Lady Geum couldn’t just let him go, so she stepped up…”
It was literally an instant when all of the warriors guarding Lady Geum were hit making them collapse. He even thought he died but when he came to his senses, he saw all of his colleagues already collapsed on the ground.
Geum Suryeon was also attacked by the man, leading to her currently fatally wounded state.
“At that time, I only thought of saving the Lady. So I ran all the way here carrying the young lady on my back.”
