Episode 76 Vain (1)âSo how was it?â
âWhat do you mean?â
âHaha, you know.â
ââ¦?â
âAre you so upset? âOne of Wonjuâs countless strengths is that he is honest without adding or subtracting, but he is finally planning to give up one of his strengths.â
Soyeonsim sighed.
âI think Iâve said this before. âIf you suddenly change the topic of conversation, the other person gets embarrassed.â
âhmm?â
âPlus, you donât even say what the topic of the conversation is.â
âoh?â
âAnyway, I knew you were tired of people asking how you were doing. So what do you mean, how was it?â
âah?â
ââ¦.â
âYes. From what I heard, I realized I was a bit unexpected.â
Probably not a little.
So Yeon-sim sighed inwardly. On the outside, he seems like a very clean-cut person, but there are times when he gives people a hard time.
âWell, in some ways, itâs hard to say itâs sometimes.â
In the Heavenly Demon Church, the leader is on the same level as God. Of course it is bound to be difficult.
But itâs not tricky. This is because the religious leader is not someone to be picky about, but someone to trust.
So Yeon-sim was now facing the most difficult and possibly most fearful person in the Protestant Church.
âThe Three Confucius.â
ââ¦.â
âHow was it? âHave you not seen each other quite often lately?â
Soyeonsimâs eyes became sharp.
âDid you know?â
âAhaha. It just so happened that it happened that way.
Itâs hard to find a hobby in this position of general military officer, so these days, Iâm keeping my ears open to how the world is going.
I live my life listening to this and spilling that. âItâs quite a bit of fun.â
Iâm laughing hard without even thinking about it. I couldnât tell if he was actually happy or just pretending.
So Yeon-sim sipped her tea while looking at the middle-aged civil servant.
âDo you like the car?â
âI donât care about the type of car. âBut I didnât know you also drink oyster tea.â
âIâve had a bit of a taste for it lately. âAt first I wondered why I was drinking it, but after drinking it, I found it to be quite good.â
âItâs okay if you drink it before going to bed.â
âUnfortunately, I donât have much to sleep in.â
The writer, who looked sullen for a moment, then grinned.
âSo how was the Three Confucius?â
âYouâre persistent.â
âCancer. A merciless tyrant! The number one butcher on campus! âThe person who was called that has shown a lot of change in recent years.â
ââ¦How dare you spit out such irreverent remarks.â
âWhat do you think? âIsnât it okay to insult the royal family in their absence?â
âThatâs a sin.â
âProbably not?â
âthatâs right.â
âOr what if itâs true? Anyway, how was the Three Confucius? âI guess youâre quite interested in conversation, donât you think?â
âItâs fun to talk to, so we see each other often.â
âKhaat! âThis is really interesting.â
âWhatâs so interesting?â
âItâs bound to be interesting. âIsnât it true that Wonju, who is famous for not opening up his mind, has become close enough to do some kind of deal with the Three Dukes?â
ââ¦!â
âHmm, Iâd like to meet you in private.â
So Yeonsimâs face visibly hardened.
âHow did you know?â
She did not necessarily deny the messengerâs words. He is a person who, if he puts his mind to it, can see through whether his words are true or false.
No, he is someone who already knows everything.
The monk chuckled.
âIt doesnât matter how you know.â
âThatâs important to me too.â
âwell. âWhatâs really important is how much support Hwan Hui-won, who maintains neutrality, will provide to the Three Dukes in the future.â
âI can assure you that Hwan Hee-won will not get involved in political strife between successors.â
âYou leave room for Wonju individuals to intervene.â
Soyeonsimâs eyes narrowed. Even though she was good at maintaining her composure, she was quite angry.
âEven if that were the case, I donât think it would be any of your business?â
Hwan Hee-won is in charge of financial administration at Shingyo. Since it was a group that controlled household finances, it was famous for its powerful real power.
So what about the military department?
The military department is literally in charge of security education.
A group where the military power of an organization is concentrated is naturally bound to be strong.
In particular, the status of the military department in the Heavenly Demon Church, which values the law of the jungle as a virtue, was enormous and more powerful than any other organization.
However, no matter how military the military may be, it cannot abuse Hwanheewon. If it involves money, everyone except the religious leader must receive approval from Hwanheewon.
Therefore, the conversation between the head of the military department and the head of Hwanheewon had to be mostly calm.
This is because we know very well that if we attack each other, all that will remain is scars.
Therefore, Soyeonsimâs reaction could be seen as quite unusual.
The middle-aged civil servant Ho Yaoseong answered with a smile.
âIt seems I have made So Wonju uncomfortable again.â
âYes, itâs quite uncomfortable.â
âAhaha, I apologize. You know, right? Itâs hard to say it with my own mouth, but Iâm a person who doesnât know where Iâll end up. Thanks to that, I sometimes get misunderstood.â
Ho Yo-seong nodded. The relaxed smile was still there, but it felt more serious than before.
âWonju is right. Itâs not really a matter for me to get involved in.
Even if I have the authority to do so, I know very well how much So Wonju thinks of our school. âThere is trust on both sides of the project.â
âThank you for understanding.â
âSo I got curious.â
âWhat?â
âWhy did Lord Su Yuan, who was so loyal and clear-headed, send the Three Dukes out of the country without saying a word to me?â
At that moment, strength went into So Yeon-simâs hand holding the tea cup.
Hu Yaosheng shook his head.
âPlease donât take this as a threat or sarcasm.
Also, we do not intend to send Wonju, who ignored the schoolâs rules and system, to the penal court. Because I think there is a reason.â
It will happen. If she had that intention, So Yeon-sim would have been summoned to the criminal court before even having this conversation.
âYouâre saying itâs pure curiosity.â
âThatâs right. âYou saw it correctly.â
âWhy are you so curious about the Three Dukes?â
Ho Yo-seong squinted one eye humorously.
âIâm curious. âReally.â
Xiao Yanshen looked at Hu Yaoshengâs face. The goal is to find out if it is sincere.
But no matter how much I looked, I couldnât figure it out.
Even if she doesnât know anything else, her eye for seeing people is second to none. One of the people who was ambiguous even in her eyes was Ho Yo-seong.
âI donât have anything to say.â
âHmm.â
âItâs hard to say this or that about him without seeing him in person. Of course, everyone is like that.â
âDo you mean there is something that cannot be explained?â
ââ¦.â
Hu Yaosheng grinned. It was a laugh that revealed the same playfulness as when I first saw him, throwing away even the slight seriousness he had shown just a moment ago.
âItâs even more interesting. âThis is the first time Iâve heard Wonju say something like that.â
âis that so.â
âyes.â
âAnyway, you can see it whenever you wantâ¦.â
âSo Iâm going to take a look. âWhen the Three Dukes return to school, I would like to treat them to a cup of tea.â
Soyeonsim, who had been quietly looking at him, stood up.
âI will send you the intelligence groupâs annual budget before the date you mentioned.â
âAs expected, itâs refreshing.â
âI hope there will be no conflicts with the military in the future.â
It meant that each person should do their job properly in their respective areas.
Hu Yaosheng shrugged his shoulders.
âYou mean this? How could I want to be in trouble with Hwan Hee-won? âI am still a pacifist.â
Soyeonsim lowered her head.
âthen.â
It was a somewhat rushed ending. Hu Yaosheng smiled and waved his hand.
When he felt so angry, he held his chin.
âHmm, Iâm really curious about this.â
It was my first time seeing So Yeon-simâs reaction like that. It was a good thing I didnât mention the commander-in-chief because I didnât want to provoke him further.
Of course, you donât have to stop if you do it. Because So Yeon-sim was not stupid enough to project her personal displeasure onto public affairs.
âAre you a candidate for succession who has grown rapidly since leaving office and is showing unconventional moves?â
Ho Yaoseongâs smile deepened.
No one except Lee Cheon-sang will be able to tell what kind of monster is lurking inside that mischievous smile.
âThis is why you complain and act like a total soldier. âEvery time I feel bored, something exciting happens.â
He emptied all the remaining tea.
âNow then, letâs get all the remaining work done before my interest comes!â
The back of my neck felt hot. After the conversation with So Yeon-sim, Ho Yo-seongâs life as a Protestant became fun again for the first time in a while.
* * *
Sigh!
A ray of red lightning seemed to cross the land and quickly ran down the hill. The slope was so steep that it almost seemed like we were flying over the cliff.
Paang!
Seoryang stepped on the edge of the hill and flew into the air.
The eyes of Seoryang, floating in the air, and Jeong Il-ryong, who was standing on the hill, collided with sparks flying.
âHahaha!!â
Xi Liang burst into laughter.
When I saw the other person up close, my anger got stronger, and my uncontrollable anger made me laugh. Thatâs why Seoliangâs laughter was so scary.
Jeong Il-ryongâs eyebrows twitched.
âWhere did you get a mine like that?â
Huh!
There was no time to continue thinking. The speed of the young demon, who was slowly descending, suddenly increased.
Paaang!
Jeong Il-ryongâs eyes widened.
It explodes in the air and creates explosive speed for a moment. It was a new method of rising that even a decent expert could not imitate.
Xi Liang swung the Geodo.
Quang! Damn it!
A sword as large as two pieces was created on the land. Cracks like spiderwebs appeared around the wide-open ground.
Jeong Il-ryongâs face was filled with pure surprise as he avoided Seo-ryangâs sword with exquisite walking techniques.
âthis guy?â
It must be swung with such terrifying force that it leaves traces like this. Even in Uicheonmaeng, it is difficult to find someone who shows off this level of sword power.
Seo-ryangâs face became grimly distorted.
âYeah, Iâd be so sad if I fell with one knife!â
âDisappointed?â
what? Does this guy know me?
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
Thereâs no need to talk.
Even though he delivered such a powerful blow, he struck without even taking a breath, his entire body was full of elasticity, and the majesty of the Geodo that was swung at the same time was truly terrifying.
Jeong Il-ryong swung his sword reflexively.
Blah blah blah!
The swords of the two people collided with colorful fireworks exploding.
Although he was already surprised by the momentum and power, when the swords actually clashed, Jeong Il-ryong couldnât help but be even more surprised.
âSuch power!â
Damn it! Pow! Quang!
Jeong Il-ryong retreated with a merciless binge.
I wasnât particularly shocked, but I needed some time to look at the other person.
And Seoryang had no intention of giving that leisure.
Pabababak! Buaaang!
He repeatedly strikes the ground with his feet and turns to approach, then swings his sword again.
It was truly an intimidating sword strike with energetic movements.
It was surprising that he could swing a sword that big so quickly, but even more surprising was the way he had already become one with the sword.
Pure white sword energy wavered on Jeong Il-ryongâs treasured sword.
Quaaaang!
Xu Liang took three or four steps back. On the other hand, Jeong Il-ryong only took a step back.
Considering that it was Seoryang who attacked first, we could see how skillfully Jeong Il-ryong reacted. It was also proof that the inner strength was pure and solid.
Jeong Il-ryong opened his mouth.
âI donât think thereâs a need for conversation when youâre committing such a murderous act. Iâm curious about one thing. âWho are you?â
Xu Liang grinned.
Even though I suffered losses, my fighting spirit did not diminish. On the contrary, he was spewing out even more fiery murderous energy, as if that was natural.
âFind out who I am with that damn sword!â
Wooooow.
The shadow magic energy that was emitting lightning along with a threatening sound quickly condensed into the body.
The splendid spirit group has died, but the atmosphere has become even more unusual. The intention is to open the underground prison return ceremony.
Jeong Il-ryongâs eyes widened.
Seo-ryang shouted.
âGive me my leg, you fucking bastard!â
Kwazizig!
The first floor of Amyeongjin Magic Gong is completely opened.
A ceremony to return to the Underground Jade was held.
