âWhat do you think? âDoes it taste good?â
âYes, good.â
Moyong-gun burst into laughter.
âFresh seafood from the beach would have been pretty good too. However, I still like meat more than seafood.â
âI see.â
Prince Mo Yong looked at Mo Yong Woo with proud eyes.
Even while Mo Yong-woo ate this delicious food, his expression did not change at all.
I wasnât pretending it didnât taste good. For Mo Yong-woo, food was nothing more or less than intake for the proper functioning of the body.
Mo Yong-woo was âtrainedâ like that. Keep your body in tip-top shape at any time.
Even while serving as the head of the Zhejiang branch, he did not lose his warrior attitude. Prince Mo Yong thought that Mo Yong Woo was amazing.
âBy the way, are you still learning the Sohwangjingi (çèçæ°£)?â
âThatâs right.â
âTsk, looking at your energy, it seems like itâs been quite a while since you became prosperous.â
âA martial artist must continue to persevere even after achieving great success. In that respect, even the lesser emperor was far away.â
âOf course it is. However, Xiaohuangjingi is a martial art that cannot fill even half of four bowls. âYou have come this far because of your outstanding qualities and efforts. If it had been anyone else, you would not have grown to that level.â
Moyong, who was impressed, took out four thick books from under the table.
âI wrote this myself this morning. From now on, practice these martial arts skills.â
âWhat is this?â
âI know it when I see it.â
Mo Yong-woo looked at the brochures.
After a moment, his eyes widened.
âIsnât this the Jiangon Wuhai (乾夿¦è§£)?â
âYes. Itâs the main familyâs knowledge. âIt is a teaching that is not even taught in the first half of the book except by a few selected geniuses other than successors.â
Mo Yong-wooâs eyes trembled.
Moyong-gun burst out laughing as he saw his youngest child like that. Even though he was always gentle and polite, he was still an unmanned person.
âYou said it? âWhen I become the Murim lord, I will hand over the family name to you.â
ââ¦.â
âWith your talent, you will be able to reach greatness within ten years. âNo one in the family will be able to object to you taking over the family throne.â
ââ¦thank you.â
Mo Yong-woo gathered his pounding heart.
âI will make it mine within five years.â
âwhat? ha ha ha!â
Moyong liked the youngestâs generous answer.
Of course it has to be like this. The will to outpace rather than chase is easy to say, but only a handful of people actually do it.
Prince Mo Yong had no doubt that Mo Yong Woo would achieve success in Gaju Science faster than anyone else.
âAnd I have something else to tell you.â
âPlease speak.â
âYouâre getting marriedâ¦â
That was then.
âMatriarch. âItâs Baekpung Danju.â
âUm, whatâs going on?â
âIt is said that the eldest son of Byeoksan Yeonga came to see the head of the family. What should I do?â
Mo Yong-gunâs eyes sparkled.
âYeonhojeong?â
Mo Yong-woo was greatly surprised. And he didnât even try to hide his surprise.
Mo Yong asked.
âDo you know Yeonhojeong too?â
Mo Yong-woo answered calmly.
âIsnât this the late Jisoo of the recently famous Wall Coral Lake?â
âLate indexâ¦. Yes, late index.â
âBut why did he tell my brotherâ¦?â
Prince Moyong shook his head.
âYou should know by now. âWhat a scary guy he is.â
ââ¦?â
âAlthough he is young, his martial arts skills are already above that of the elders of the six generations of the nine generations of one party. And he has the will and resourcefulness to rival mine.â
ââ¦!â
âMartial arts, resourcefulness, guts and execution skills. He is another genius who is not lacking in any aspect. âIâve met countless talented people, but Iâve never seen a monster as big as him.â
It was extremely highly rated. Mo Yong-woo was purely surprised that such an evaluation came from his brotherâs mouth.
Moyong-gun smiled.
âIn a way, I might be a good match for you. âOf course, if you are ruthless enough.â
ââ¦.â
âWow, that was a lot of pointless talk. âLetâs talk about the rest later.â
âAll right.â
Mo Yong-woo stood up and bowed his head.
âI received the military service gratefully.â
âokay. âI have great expectations.â
Moyong-gun shouted out the door.
âPlease stop by.â
Sigh.
The door opened and Yeon Ho-jeong came in.
For a moment, sparks flew from the eyes of Yeon Ho-jeong and Mo Yong-woo as their gazes collided.
Yeon Ho-jeong slightly lowered his head. Then Mo Yong-woo also slightly bowed his head and passed him.
âItâs been a while.â
âokay.â
âSit there. âI guess Iâll have to get back in the car.â
âitâs okay. âDrink a little while ago and come back.â
âHuh, is that so?â
thud.
As soon as the door closed, Yeon Ho-jeong asked.
âWho are you?â
âhmm?â
âThe one who just left.â
Moyong suddenly became curious. What is Yeon Ho-jeongâs first impression of Mo Yong-woo?
âWhat do you think? Does it look okay?â
âHow can you know someone you havenât even had a conversation with?â
âHehe, Iâm just curious about what your first impression was. âIâd like you to answer.â
Yeon Ho-jeong tilted his head.
âI donât think Iâm a person worthy of sitting with the matriarch.â
âhmm?â
âHeâs very good at martial arts, but his personality seems a bit soft.â
Indeed, this guyâs eyes are not ordinary.
Moyong smiled and spoke honestly.
âGood to see. âHe is a child with outstanding talent in many areas.â
âThatâs surprising. âI thought he was someone who valued a ruthless mind more than talent.â
âHehehe! âIsnât that up to me?â
Moyong-gun, who quenched his thirst with tea, asked.
âSo, what brought you to visit me in broad daylight?â
âYou know, right?â
Moyong grinned.
âwhy? âAre you so suspicious that I recommended you to be the head of a combat unit?â
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.
âIt was so outright suspicious that I was worried that it might be pure favor.â
âHehehe!â
Yeon Ho-jeong asked directly.
âWhat position have you been promised?â
âhmm?â
âOnce the Murim Alliance is established, what position will the head of the family occupy?â
âHuh, I donât know about that either. âAt least I donât think I can become a leader.â
âDo you intend to serve as the head of an organization that oversees combat units?â
Moyong just smiled.
Although both eyes were bright blue.
ââ¦.â
After a moment of silence, Yeon Ho-jeong shook his head.
âThereâs no need to overdo it already, right?â
âIs it impossible?â
âYou made a great contribution to ousting the Myeong family, so it seems like you literally have the luxury of riding a horse, but what would you do if you ran without looking left or right and stumbled over some weeds?â
âI havenât lived a life so easy that I stumble over weeds.â
âSo do you plan to keep pushing forward like this?â
âOf course. âMy dream is just beginning.â
âAre you confident?â
âThe future is something no one can know. âI can only do my best in my position.â
Moyong-gun chuckled.
âIsnât that what life is like?â
Yeon Ho-jeongâs eyes deepened.
âThere is a part of me that believes in it.â
Mr. Moyong is not alone. It was clear that he had joined hands with some of the six great powers of the nine factions.
âAlready in this short period of time? Itâs not normal either.â
Moyong-gun tilted his head.
âWhy are you looking at me so intently?â
ââ¦.â
âIf you came here to find out the truth about me, I have nothing else to say. âItâs just a shame that talented people are wasted.â
âNow, you are trying to forcefully place a young man who has not yet reached his terms and is in a position of great responsibility.â
âAge and skill are two different things. âYou have fully proven your abilities by dealing with the Nine Zhou Ming family and capturing Ming Heo-lin.â
ââ¦.â
âIs there nothing more to say?â
âwell.â
âIf you have nothing to say, letâs just leave.â
âIndependent army.â
âhmm?â
Yeon Ho-jeong relaxed his expression.
âYouâve already recommended me, so you probably wonât be able to remove me again. âEven if I think about my fatherâs reputation, I donât think I should do that.â
âWhat do you want to say?â
âThe combat unit that I will head will operate as an independent army. Although they belong to the Murim League, they are not allowed to be used as flowers in greenhouses. They are free to roam the fields, but when a major incident occurs in Ganghoâs martial forest, they take on the character of an independent organization that operates under the judgment of the leader.â
ââ¦?â
âOf course, excessive neglect is no different from self-indulgence. The only person who can give us orders is our leader. âIf a separate decision-making body is established, it may be possible to move according to the opinion of the majority.â
âHehehe!â
Moyong-gun laughed as if it were absurd.
âDid you really think I would grant your request?â
âWhy not?â
âOf course not. Even if I had such feelings, I am only the head of a single family. âI canât proceed with such a thing on my own.â
âThis is our third meeting, but we know each other pretty well. âRight?â
âIâve thought about it for a while, but I think your mannerisms are too rude to just tolerate and listen to.â
âPlease take off that cumbersome mask and talk.â
Yeon Ho-jeongâs pupils turned blue.
The color of Byeoknajingi, which was normally so beautiful, looked particularly eerie today.
âYou can do it, right?â
ââ¦.â
âYou and I donât know each otherâs limits yet. But you know this one thing. âIâm not so incompetent that I canât even use that much power.â
Mo Yong-gunâs expression became cold.
The true face of the ruthless and ambitious man was there, shown to Yeon Ho-jeong for the first time.
âThereâs nothing you canât do if you put your mind to it. But why should I give you such power? âI am not a philanthropist who does good things for others with good intentions.â
âThatâs why itâs like this.â
âLetâs bounce the abacus one more time, shall we?â
âWhat is your relationship with the Jeomchang faction?â
Mo Yong-gunâs expression hardened.
âWhat do you mean?â
âI may have told you before. âIf you want to use someone, use someone with a big mouth.â
ââ¦?!â
âIf your intention was to raise awareness, you succeeded brilliantly. âThanks to you, I stayed indoors for a couple of months and did nothing but swing an axe.â
ââ¦.â
âDonât you say, Saeongjima is the master of life? You hit me hard, now I have to hit me too. âIf I polish that arrow you shot well, I think I can try firing it again from here.â
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled brightly.
âIs it okay for me to shoot an arrow named Dream in your chest? Or can I just use the Jeomchangpa as a target and shoot it? Order according to your taste. âIâm in charge of cooking.â
Mo Yong-gunâs eyes trembled.
He realized that Yeon Ho-jeong was not lying. Even if it is a lie, it cannot be ignored as long as the name âDreamâ is mentioned.
âAre you holding on?â
âThey are kept in prison. âIt was very damaged.â
Mo Yong said in a cold voice.
âEven if we send him to the fortune-telling faction, will he be able to have any influence on the country? âIf he was that kind of guy, I wouldnât have sent him.â
âI heard you are using the tried-and-true Four Blades technique?â
ââ¦!!â
âI guess you didnât know. âWhy donât you tell me?â
Prince Moyongâs face was noticeably distorted.
Yeon Ho-jeong said in a cheerful tone.
âMy stake is ready. Bring the abacus.â
