Episode 813
A tiger that does not live in a den (7)
A new surname.
Yeonho-jeong, who showed confidence at every moment despite leading a busy life, could not help but hesitate for a moment in front of that question.
“Do you mean your last name?”
“Yes.”
“There is a name called Inkryongbu. Do you need another name?”
“I had no intention of changing it either. But if you look closely, the new world that will change is very different from before. “The scope of change is so great that it would be good to start anew with a new name.”
Yeon Ho-jeong shook his head.
“It is a law not to change a person’s name carelessly. “Moreover, if the name of a huge organization like the Mukryongbu were to be changed before even one generation has passed, many people’s faith would be shaken.”
“It’s strange that people have their faith shaken by something like that.”
“Even among timid and doubtful people, there are talented people. Even if we can’t keep it by our side, wouldn’t it be nice if we could all carry it with us?”
“That’s true.”
“If you start with the Mukryongbu, it would be better to advance to the Mukryongseong (墨龍城). “Now that the atmosphere of Heukdo Murim is in turmoil, there seems to be no need to create anxiety by changing the name for no reason.”
It was the right opinion among right opinions.
Rather, it was Baek Seo who was reassured by Yeon Ho-jeong’s words. The white paper also agreed with Yeon Ho-jeong’s remarks.
Yangcheon, who was quietly looking down at Yeonhojeong, nodded.
“You are right. Still, I don’t want to leave the name to be engraved in new history as a dull one called Mukryong.”
He was someone who would not easily back down. You’ve probably thought about changing the name of your organization at least once before.
Yeon Ho-jeong laughed bitterly.
“There is quite a bit of time left, so it would be a good idea to think more about that.”
“Well, that would be better.”
If you don’t find an answer if you think about it right now, it’s better to put it off until later.
“white book.”
“Yes, sir.”
Wooooow.
The organizational reorganization plan drawn up by Yang Cheon landed gently in front of Baek Seo.
“Read it.”
Baek Seo looked up at Yang Chen with startled eyes.
Yang Chen smiled brightly.
“I’ve been thinking about you a lot while planning our future with that guy. That is correct. Considering the abilities you have, wouldn’t it be a waste to keep you as a mere advisor or loyalist?”
“…?!”
“From now on, you too will be together. In some ways, your role is more important than the two of us. “You will assist me and at the same time act as a bridge in my relationship with Lord Sobu, and furthermore, you must also be in charge of leading several organizations.”
“Bubu lord!”
“I’m sorry for making you so busy. But we need you.”
Yang Cheon looked at Yeon Ho-jeong and asked.
“Isn’t that so?”
Yeon Ho-jeong lowered his head.
“I don’t know the extent of Loyal White Paper’s abilities. However, when I infiltrated Sejak, I was impressed by his ability to analyze the situation and see through people’s intentions, and furthermore, his dignity as a superior seemed to be as good as anyone else’s.”
The white paper was embarrassed.
“So Sobuju.”
“Wouldn’t it be an honor to be with someone like that?”
Yang Cheon burst out laughing.
“As expected, you know how to look at people. “I am such a great teacher.”
“You haven’t been able to make good use of a person like this until now, so I guess Master is just a person too.”
“…You always add one more word now and then.”
Yang Cheon, who was complaining, spoke to Baek Seo.
“You are the same, but I will also give the other zodiac signs positions and tasks appropriate to their abilities.”
Baekseo, who was looking at Yangcheon with turbulent eyes, lowered his head.
“I will reform myself for the sake of my husband and the Heukdo martial arts team.”
“Hehehe, it’s been like that this whole time, right?”
Yang Cheon, who was smiling brightly, asked Yeon Ho-jeong.
“Is there anything else to report?”
“doesn’t exist.”
“What are you going to do next?”
“We must listen to the reports of the next successors called from each clan. Even if we want to push through force, each faction will have its own circumstances, so we need to listen to them, analyze them, and handle things in the optimal direction.”
“Hmm, how about taking a day off today?”
“I told you to watch and prepare by today, so everyone will be waiting. “I will rest after receiving that report.”
“i get it. “If I do that, I will call the zodiac members and show them the reorganization chart in the meantime, so if we have time at night, we can all have a drink together.”
“All right.”
Yeon Ho-jeong, who came out of Daejeon, took a deep breath.
“You’re so busy.”
It was busy but not tiring. Rather, I felt moderately feverish and wanted to move faster.
Wooooow.
Gwangmyeong Shindan stretched out and slightly cooled his heated head.
In front of Yangcheon, he said it was not urgent, but in fact, there was no urgency. If the goal was simply to reunify the Black Islands, even the Murim Alliance and the Imperial Palace had to pay attention.
Moreover, I had sent a letter to the imperial palace, so a reply would come soon. Although the marriage may not happen soon, at least until the day comes, he has to control the martial arts martial arts.
“There is no such thing as moderation.”
It was a self-deprecatory review, but at the same time, it was a comment mixed with love and hate toward Heukdo Moorim.
“Now, let’s try to cheer up a little more.”
Yeon Ho-jeong, who was walking while tapping his cheek, stopped at the moment of momentum he felt.
“….”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes changed.
From eyes full of passion to cold eyes filled with caution.
It was a unique look in his eyes right before a battle. When analyzing an opponent’s martial arts personality, movement habits, etc., he would show this look in his eyes.
But now there was no one in front of him.
Wiggle.
Yeon Ho-jeong’s left thumb twitched.
‘Twenty paces.’
Huh.
Some caves opened in the distance. Busy people, workers and samurai moving around energetically.
And in between.
‘Ten steps.’
In that moment, the distance of twenty steps was reduced to ten steps.
Someone approaching.
If you focus your senses, it doesn’t seem like they are trying to reduce the presence, but in fact, it makes it more difficult to read the presence. It was not a stealth technique that erased one’s vitality and breathing, but a technique of assimilating with nature.
The corners of Yeon Ho-jeong’s mouth rose slightly.
‘That’s really amazing.’
tremendous.
Developing a master is not easy. In the past few years, Yeonhojeong has made progress that others could not even imagine, but it was only possible because it had already been reached once.
Although stagnation is severe, the level of development at once is greater than that of sewage. Instead, if you make a mistake, you may regress. That’s why the development of a master is so difficult and that’s why it’s so great.
However, this person’s development, which is now secretly approaching, was at an astonishing level, even considering the extent of the expert’s explosive development.
‘Not almost anymore. It’s beyond perfect.’
It seems like only yesterday that he was going crazy trying to invent a martial art, but now he has been reborn as an expert who has acquired the military power of a major general using his perfected martial arts as a stepping stone.
‘If only I could read my breath as I reached the point of no end…’
Of course, since I didn’t have the will to fight, if a life-and-death battle actually took place, I would have counterattacked right away.
Still, great things are great things. I thought that if this person was laughing and chatting next to me and then tried to betray me, it might be difficult to easily avoid that fatal blow by reading my breathing.
and.
‘After three steps!’
Flash!
A ray of light pierced the back of Yeon Ho-jeong’s head.
Phew.
The wind blowing in all directions suddenly calmed down.
Pusss.
Yeon Ho-jeong suddenly turned his head to the side to avoid the single spear strike.
But a few strands of his hair were blowing in the wind. Even though I perfectly avoided it and protected my entire body with my true energy, my hair was cut off.
“As a result, I started walking around with my head shaved like a monk. “Already, my short hair is getting cut off nicely.”
Yeon Ho-jeong pushed away the short spear with his hand and turned around with calm words.
And there was a loss rate there.
“As expected, you are avoiding it.”
“Of course.”
“What on earth are you?”
“Is that what you want to say since we haven’t seen each other in a long time?”
“I thought you had improved a lot, but it seems like you have improved even further. “I don’t know much about my growth in Mugeuk, but… it’s definitely different from then.”
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.
“When it comes to cosmetic changes, seniority is more important.”
Pae-yul finally broke out of the closed room and showed himself.
Although I have removed old dirt and am dressed in neat clothes, I cannot hide my changed body even with baggy clothes.
He was much thinner than before it closed. Of course, the skeleton was the same, but the exposed arms and chest were reminiscent of bamboo.
Of course, my cheeks became hollow and my eyes became even deeper. His otherwise strong appearance looked much more fierce.
‘but.’
The body has become like a withered tree without any moisture, but the energy is not like that.
‘It’s vast.’
The unique cool yet firm energy of Jeomchang fills every inch of the body.
I was impressed by his abundant and flawless strength, as if his entire body was literally Danjeon. It felt much softer than before, but the firmness of maintaining the center of gravity was incomparable to before.
If I had to add an expression, if the previous Jinki was like a well-maintained long sword, the current Jinki was like a huge treasured sword forged by a world-famous craftsman.
At the same time, the circulation of external energy and internal energy was so natural that it was able to naturally assimilate with its surroundings without any need for concealment techniques.
“It looks like it was a pretty terrible closing.”
“It was a pain that cut through my flesh and bones. Fortunately, there was success.”
“It’s not at the level of performance. This level of military power is hard to find even among prestigious leaders. “Last time I saw him, he looks even stronger than Jongnam Jangmun-in, the old sect’s Jangmun-in.”
“You won’t know that until you try it.”
It was a voice that felt much more relaxed. Unlike before, he was showing absolute confidence in his own power.
“After a painful time, the first thing I wanted to do when the museum closed was to eat a meat dish in myeongju.”
“Everyone will be similar.”
“But that thought disappeared. Because of the feeling of betrayal, my hunger also ran away.”
“A feeling of betrayal?”
Paeyul aimed his javelin at Yeonhojeong.
“I knew better than anyone else that he was prone to accidents, but I never thought he would crawl under Yangcheon’s nose.”
Although the words were quite harsh, the voice was calm.
Yeon Ho-jeong chuckled.
“If possible, please call it a strategic partnership to make it sound better.”
“It’s good to try everything to achieve your goal. Still, there is a line that should not be crossed.”
“I’ve never crossed the line that I shouldn’t cross.”
“You’re still immature.”
“You can think about it however you want.”
Yeon Ho-jeong turned around.
Even though he openly shows his back, he doesn’t show any signs of tension.
“I’m busy, so if you have something to say, please follow along and say it. “There is a lot to see and hear before the sun sets today.”
Paeyul frowned.
“I don’t know why only the bad things are the same. “For example, that cheesy thing.”
“I can’t hear you.”
Pae-yul, who caught up with Yeon Ho-jeong in an instant, asked.
Suddenly, his body, carrying a javelin on his back, seemed relieved. As if it were so natural, there was not the slightest trace of hostility towards Yeon Ho-jeong.
“Are you the only one living in the world? “What are you always busy with?”
“That’s right.”
“What is going on?”
“We want to manipulate the successors of the Black Island Clan to our liking.”
“You’re so good at saying embarrassing things. What is manipulation? Jojogi.”
“Can you help me while I’m here?”
“Do you need my help?”
“Since you have perfected your martial arts skills, we should test whether it will work in real combat, right?”
“….”
“Senior is a very easy person to understand.”
“Shut up.”
