Episode 313
The Wheel Rolls (1)
“Now, take this.”
Ki Woo-hee’s eyes deepened as he received the document and plaque handed to him by Zhuge Li.
“this is…?”
“The building and signboard contain most of the medicinal herbs grown in the northern part of the central plains. “I think the total number of medical students who are well-versed in each field is 250, which is sufficient to establish a foundation.”
“….”
“The name of the Uibang under the Murim League is Uiseongak. “From now on, you will be called Uiseon Gakju.”
A look of embarrassment appeared on Ki Woo-hee’s face.
“I am grateful that you look after me kindly, but it is true that I do not have enough experience to manage this many lives.”
Zhuge Wenhu shook his head.
“Everyone gathered here has no doubts about the priestess’s management.”
“Sir.”
“Even if you are good at using a sword, it is useless if you cannot fight against the enemy. Even if you have learned the words of the sage, if you cannot incorporate them into your life, it is also useless.”
“….”
“Even the three children know that the priestess’s medical skills are excellent. And the reason that her excellent medical skills are widely known is because she took care of patients for many years.”
Zhuge Wenhu smiled.
“I think you have enough capacity to become the chair of medical students.”
It was a great compliment, but even so, Ki Woo-hee’s expression was not bright.
Zhuge Munho, who was looking at her face, asked in a calm voice.
“Is the reason the priestess is so hesitant because she has a gentle nature? Or is it because you truly think your skills are not enough?”
“I…”
“Or else.”
Zhuge Wenhu’s eyes deepened.
“Is it because of your past as a member of the Shinhwa religion among the three religious cults?”
In an instant, Ki Woo-hee’s complexion turned pale.
Zhuge Wenhu smiled.
“Commander Yeon was right.”
“…You knew.”
“Of course. I am a military member of the Murim Alliance. Since you have a certain degree of personnel authority, it is basic to know the person’s detailed personal history when making appointments. Commander Yeon also knows that. Moreover, if I had not revealed the identity of Jamyeong Ilho, Commander Yeon would have been in danger.”
Ki Woo-hee, who was looking at Zhuge Li with trembling eyes, soon sighed.
The other person already knows everything. Nevertheless, he plans to establish himself as a member of the royal family. I knew that no harm would be done to me right away.
Zhuge Wenhu’s eyes sparkled.
‘surely.’
A normal person would have been so frightened that they were busy shaking.
However, Ki Woo-hee quickly calmed down. It was not because he gave up everything, but because he saw clearly that the other person had no intention of harming him.
‘Nature is good and simple. But I’m not weak-minded. ‘He’s also wise.’
Zhuge Mun-ho heard about Ki Woo-hee’s situation from Yeon Ho-jeong.
Of course, unless you are yourself, you will not be able to fully understand how much hardship you have gone through. However, just by listening to it, I could tell that Ki Woo-hee lived a life full of extreme suffering.
Ki Woo-hee asked.
“Still, are you trying to make me a footnote in Uiseongak?”
“exactly.”
“….”
“Listen and don’t misunderstand. Regardless of your skills as a priestess, I still don’t trust you. “Nevertheless, the reason I’m pushing you to Uiseonggakju is because I trust Commander Yeon that much.”
Byeoksanhojang Yeonhojeong.
Ki Woo-hee thought. He is truly a scary yet charming person.
Yeon Ho-jeong was younger than herself. At such a young age, he received this much trust from the military, one of the most powerful figures in the Murim Alliance.
This was truly amazing. Although she was not well-versed in the physiology of an organization, she had some exposure to the Shinhwa religion’s organizational system and knew how difficult it would be to give this much trust to a young late Jisoo.
‘I guess it’s not just because I have outstanding abilities.’
Competence is basic and you need to be able to trust people. And building that trust would be impossible without the natural charm of humans and a friendship that transcends age.
“Also, wouldn’t it be easier for us to keep an eye on you if you sat in a high position?”
“…okay.”
Zhuge Wenhu smiled.
“I don’t trust you yet, but I believe that you are sincere in providing medical care for free for a long time. “If you truly break away from Shinhwaism and devote yourself to the cause of the central plains, these doubts of mine may soon melt away like snow under the spring sunlight.”
Ki Woo-hee laughed bitterly.
“That can’t be possible.”
“hmm?”
“Even if you are a charlatan belonging to the same organization, you are suspicious until the end. “Isn’t that the basic knowledge of every soldier in the world?”
Zhuge Munho burst out laughing.
“I took a hit with this.”
Ki Woo-hee spoke with a determined voice.
“Since you know my past, I will tell you clearly.”
“Please speak.”
“I don’t move for the midfield. “I will just try to move for the sake of those who are persecuted without any sin.”
“hmm.”
“If the Shinhwa Church deviates from its principles, it will be hostile to the Shinhwa Church, and if the Murim Alliance deviates from its principles, it will take off its position as Uiseongakju and go out into the world to denounce the Murim Alliance.”
Zhuge Wenhu nodded.
“That is enough. No, I definitely hope so. Because that is the greatest value of our Baekdo Martial Forest: righteousness and integrity.”
He got up from his seat.
“Uiseongak will officially open in five days. See you then.”
With those words, Zhuge Munho left the room.
Ki Woo-hee, who was left alone, suddenly looked out the window.
“The weather is getting warmer.”
The cold wind was still bitter. But the sky was clear and cool.
Ki Woo-hee closed his eyes.
The cold, clear wind refreshed my confused head even if it was only for a moment.
* * *
Moyong Yeonhwa quickly regained her composure.
She also knew because she heard it from her father. That Mo Yong-woo turned to his father’s side.
It must be sincere. She trusted her father’s insight. In that case, it was appropriate to forget the past bad relationship and build a new relationship again.
Mo Yong-Yeonhwa smiled.
“It’s been a while since I saw you.”
“I see.”
“Forget your reaction from a moment ago. I heard that you are with your father. In that case, I should also forget about the past.”
The corners of Mo Yong-woo’s mouth rose.
It was a laugh bordering on mockery. It was a laugh that somehow did not suit him, making the viewer feel even more ominous.
“That’s a really interesting thing to say. “Even if I forgive, I will do it, and if I forget, I will have to forget.”
Moyong Yeonhwa did not lose her smile.
Although his eyes became somewhat cold.
“well. Wouldn’t it be ridiculous to try now to see who was at fault? “I think the important thing is that we have become comrades moving forward together.”
Those were shocking words. Although she wasn’t a normal person to begin with, her tone of voice was definitely overly stiff.
Of course, Mo Yong Yeon Hwa and others were quite patient. I haven’t even met my father yet, and I didn’t want to make a big deal out of it.
Mo Yong-woo nodded.
“You’re not wrong. “For the sake of the greater good, it would be better to forget about the minor conflicts of the past.”
“It’s a good mindset.”
“If so, where should we start a public conversation?”
Mo Yong-Yeonhwa shook her head.
“I also want to talk to my uncle, but I have to see my father first.”
“Before you meet your brother, you should talk to me first.”
“What do you mean?”
The corners of Mo Yong-woo’s mouth rose even more.
“Think of it as light censorship.”
The smile disappeared from Mo Yong-Yeonhwa’s face.
“Censorship?”
“Of course.”
“…This is kind of interesting. Why do I have to be inspected by my uncle?”
“It should be like that. As your brother’s closest aide, shouldn’t you make sure you’re someone who won’t cause any trouble?”
Mo Yong Yeon Hwa’s eyes narrowed gradually.
“You seem to have forgotten that I am the daughter of the man you call brother.”
Mo Yong-woo shook his head.
“Show your childish side at least. “I don’t like seeing people be stubborn for reasons they can’t prove.”
They say that they cannot prove it just because they are blood relatives.
Aside from her discomfort, Mo Yong-yeonhwa was quite surprised by Mo Yong-woo’s remark. At least the Mo Yong-woo she knew was not a great person worthy of making such a statement.
A clear sneer appeared on Mo Yong-Yeonhwa’s cold face.
“You’re very broken. “Do you really think I would betray my father, since our relationship is a natural relationship?”
“Possibilities are always open.”
“That might be the case in the world where you live.”
“The world you live in is like that too. “You broke up your sibling relationship to become the head of the family.”
“…!!”
Mo Yong Yeon Hwa’s face hardened.
“Are you serious about what you said?”
“Whether it is true or not, it is true. And the fact that the main family is a family that developed in that way is also a fact that cannot be ignored.”
“…I wonder how my father will take your uncle’s remarks.”
Mo Yong-woo smiled faintly.
“You might think it’s bold.”
“Is that all?”
“If you’re curious about that, tell me about it yourself. Of course, you won’t be able to cross the door of introspection until I give you permission.”
Mo Yong Yeon Hwa’s cheeks trembled.
“Let’s leave it at this.”
“No, it starts now.”
“I’m sure you’ve all heard where I’m coming from and why I’m coming?”
“What’s different from what you said a little while ago, when you talked about blood relatives and said don’t be suspicious?”
“…!”
“Don’t worry. “If you were proud of yourself, this entire conversation would be nothing.”
Now Mo Yong Yeon Hwa’s eyes were burning with complete anger.
“How would you censor this nephew?”
“like this.”
Sigh!
Mo Yong Yeon Hwa’s eyes were wide open as if they were torn.
dump!
She knelt down on the spot. All feeling disappeared from the neck down to the hip joint in an instant. Only that area was paralyzed with extremely delicate demonic blood.
‘This can’t be right!’
It was an incredible speed. Mo Yong-Yeonhwa has also had her own achievements, but Mo Yong-Woo’s growth has far surpassed hers.
Mo Yong-woo, who was standing behind Mo Yong-yeonhwa, put his hand on her shoulder.
Phew.
“Hmm.”
Mo Yong-woo quickly took his hand off his shoulder.
“Identity verification has been completed. “It’s the same novelty I felt before.”
“…!”
“It’s just that you brought someone you shouldn’t have brought with you.”
“What?!”
Mo Yong-woo looked at the attendant.
The attendant flinched. He was also surprised when he saw Mo Yong-woo’s amazing movements.
Mo Yong-woo, who was looking at the attendant, twisted his head.
“You cannot come into the inner city. “Let’s go back now.”
“Yes yes?!”
“I told you to go back.”
The attendant looked at Mo Yong Yeon Hwa without realizing it.
Moyong Yeonhwa shouted angrily.
“What are you doing? Release the demonic blood immediately…!”
“A black dragon can do that. Even if you know the situation, you won’t be able to feel it. But you shouldn’t have done that.”
“…?!”
“With the upcoming election, the mood in the party is very tense. If you let someone like this in, things could get worse. “If you had any intention, you should have cut off your line in advance.”
“We can’t solve this right now!”
Mo Yong-woo ignored her words.
He said to the attendant.
“It looks like you’re from ‘that side’.”
“….”
“If you can show me that momentum, it’s obvious that you’re skilled. “Please go back.”
The attendant spoke in a stern voice.
“You can’t do that.”
“okay?”
Mo Yong-woo nodded.
“It’s a shame.”
Whoa whoa!
Astonishment appeared in Mo Yong-Yeonhwa’s eyes.
Before I knew it, the attendant had stuck out his tongue and collapsed on the spot.
Mo Yong-woo shook his hands.
“The censorship is over. I will take care of this, so just go see your brother.”
