Episode 996.
When I put it down, I saw the sky (13)
Surprisingly, the incident between the party and Jeok Chang-mun spread quite quickly.
Although it was said that no one was watching, many people felt that the bloody atmosphere was rising after Kang Ryang and Jin Yang visited Jeokchangmun with Yeon Ho-jeong.
Still, the detailed story was not known, so there was talk about whether Jeok Chang-mun acknowledged his mistake or not, but the next day, Jeok Chang-mun-ju personally visited Meng’s leadership.
‘The son of the main gate broke the rules of the Murim Alliance and caused trouble. As the owner of the door, I should have corrected the situation, but I failed to do so and made the incident worse. My son and the victim engaged in a fair fight as warriors, and both accepted the outcome. However, as the lord of the clan, I have made a big mistake and I am embarrassed to even dare to eat blind food. Therefore, Jeok Changmun will return to his hometown and self-quarantine until the official call from the Murim Alliance is received.’
Surprisingly, Jeok Chang-munju went to see him and said so.
What was more surprising was the response of the Murim Alliance.
Considering public opinion, they could have been arrested, but they let them go, saying they would respect Jeokchangmunju Habeon’s choice.
People felt embarrassed, excited, and displeased by the quick and, in a sense, drastic action.
Most were embarrassed. Because this has never happened before.
Those who were interested in the decisive treatment of the Murim League predicted that the atmosphere of the League would definitely become sharper and stronger in the future.
Those who felt uncomfortable were those who felt that the red windows were not properly protected. Although their mistake was clear, they believed that they could be somewhat sensitive to the situation of sharing a meal with an enemy with whom they had been at odds for hundreds of years.
Since Jeok Chang-moon was sent out for something like that, Maeng’s actions can feel very coercive. Moreover, the Jeokchangmun is a sect with a hundred years of history, so they feel that if they send out such a sect, they will also be treated carelessly.
They did not realize the essence of this matter. It’s just an emotional view of the situation.
In some ways, it could be seen as natural. However, it was clear that those who were displeased were not seeing much of the current situation as Gangho’s situation was heading toward crisis.
In an instant, the Murim Alliance was enveloped in a chaotic atmosphere.
This happened a day after Yeon Ho-jeong joined the alliance.
* * *
At noon, Yeonhojeong and Jinyang entered the public dining room in Naeseong.
“….”
Countless warriors looked at the two people and then turned their heads. Among them, there were people who looked at it with envious eyes, there were people who looked at it with interest, and there were even people who were angry and jealous.
“Euracha.”
After ordering a meal from the worker, Yeon Ho-jeong immediately drank tea.
Several tea leaves are supplied to Murimmaeng. However, it was impossible to drink quality tea in a restaurant that accommodated this many people. In the first place, it was difficult to expect a luxurious taste because a large amount was made.
However, Yeon Ho-jeong actually liked this less luxurious car more. Because it wasn’t burdensome.
“I was a little surprised.”
Yeon Ho-jeong blinked at Jinyang’s words.
“what?”
“Liang.”
Jinyang looked very comfortable as she rested her chin.
“After that match, I became speechless.”
“You’re speechless, we’re like that sometimes too.”
“What are you thinking?”
“Don’t you know?”
“What about the captain?”
“Needless to say, martial arts.”
Jinyang frowned.
“Even though the matter was resolved, it wouldn’t be true.”
“That’s because I drank too much yesterday.”
“That’s not what you said.”
“Liang swept away everything with that one victory. I didn’t forgive, but that was enough. “He is not weak enough to look back on something like that.”
“Then I’m weak.”
“why? “Do you feel strange?”
Jinyang sighed deeply.
“Honestly, I don’t know. “If it weren’t for the Murim Alliance, I would have given him a harpoon on the spot or blown off his head when we met again, but when I saw him yesterday, all my anger disappeared, right?”
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.
Originally, Jinyang didn’t do that. Although he was born with a talent that would not be strange to be called a genius, he was quite impulsive and childlike, which was not befitting of the level he had achieved.
But now it’s different.
Jinyang, who began to shake off the bizarre values that were eating away his life and pioneer his future, has suddenly become a great adult.
They say there is nothing you can do about personality, but the level has gone up from personality to martial arts. In a way, he showed a more adult side than Kang Ryang.
“Liang said so. “When I confronted him, I didn’t know what he was doing.”
“That’s exactly what I thought.”
“But they said the reason they didn’t back down was because they thought that if they clashed swords once, there would definitely be no residue left behind.”
Jinyang laughed bitterly.
“He’s better than me.”
“It’s not a question of who is better. “It’s a difference in personality.”
“To be honest… I thought it would have been better if they had confiscated my face and stormed over. “If that were the case, I would have killed them all with a single sword without even looking back.”
They say so, but even if such a situation had come, he would have held his sword carefully.
Jinyang has changed so much. It is not that he has become more generous, but that he has matured as a warrior.
“Anyway, it’s fascinating. “I didn’t know that guy would rush over and say he was leaving.”
It was a story about Habeon.
Yeon Ho-jeong chuckled.
“The post-processing was disappointing, but that’s because it’s Moonju who leads the group.”
“What do you mean?”
“What if I just hold on? People around you will criticize you. “What happened?”
“I guess so.”
“Even though that guy has a dirty temper, he’s not the type to lie easily. Of course, I would either tell you what happened or just keep my mouth shut, but then what would happen to the eyes of Jeok Chang-mun within the group?”
“ah?”
“It would be best to be honest and leave on your own. “Since we left on our own, it is not an expulsion, but the statement that we will self-reflect until we are officially called is a strong assertion that we are still part of the Murim Alliance.”
“Hoo!”
“I don’t want to be expelled from the Murim Alliance, but if I continue to stay, dirty rumors will spread throughout the faction. Haban’s response was correct.”
Admiration appeared on Jinyang’s face.
“How do you know so well, Captain?”
“what?”
“This and that. “To be honest, I had a suspicion that that b*stard father was going out like this and was going to hire an assassin.”
Yeon Ho-jeong could barely contain himself from bursting into laughter.
“You b*stard, how can you do something like that? Even if you feel like that, you can’t do it if you have the brain. “If the truth is revealed, I can’t take it or leave it.”
“There are ways to handle it well so that the truth is not revealed.”
“Even if there was such a method, if we were suddenly attacked by an assassin, who would everyone think was responsible?”
“…Hmm.”
“Rather, their position is that we must stop the assassins who are targeting us. “I just want to avoid any misunderstandings.”
Jinyang scratched his head.
“It certainly seems that I am simple.”
“It’s not because it’s simple.”
Jinyang is still accustomed to the ways of the black path.
The reason there is no endless fight in the dark island is because the loser will definitely take revenge. Whether you send an assassin or secretly take poison, you will be punished in some way.
Once caught, it is the way of the black path to see to the end. The reason why Jinyang hid Hwaungmun in the dark for a long time was not only because he was aware of the White Island political faction, but also because it was clear that if he became entangled with the Black Island forces, he would inevitably emerge as an emerging power.
“Politics is difficult.”
“If you think it’s difficult, there are no limits. The essence is simple. What are people seeing and where are we headed. “It’s not difficult to read the current situation just by thinking about those two.”
“Isn’t it hard to think about those two?”
“If that’s hard for you, study harder in the future.”
The casual conversation stopped when the food arrived.
“let’s eat.”
“Let’s do that.”
The two people enjoyed the food laid out on the table.
They didn’t go out alone often. Still, there was no awkwardness. Yeonho-jeong didn’t have that kind of personality, and Jinyang also seemed quite friendly, so they seemed so close that anyone would mistakenly think they had been in a relationship for ten years.
How much time has passed like that?
“Sobuju.”
Yeon Ho-jeong wiped his mouth and raised his head.
I saw five or six men to one side. They all had solid bodies, but they gave off a strong presence even without showing their force.
A warrior in his early thirties who was in front of them spoke.
“Do you have time?”
The words that come out all the time are quite aggressive.
Yeon Ho-jeong shrugged his shoulders.
“What’s going on?”
“If you have time, could you come with us for a moment?”
“Are you nervous?”
“…?”
“There is no need to be so nervous that you even forget to say that you are in front of Sobuju of the Inkryongbu.”
It was a warning to someone who suddenly asks for time without even revealing his or her identity.
The man’s face turned slightly red.
There were a lot of people in the restaurant. Moreover, almost everyone’s ears turned to the appearance of Yeon Ho-jeong, the greatest windbreaker in the martial arts world.
The man cleared his throat and took the gun.
“sorry. “My name is Heo Jung, and I am the head of the Sajagwonsa (獅子拳士) belonging to the Blue Lion Jamun (靑獅子門).”
“This is Yeon Ho-jeong, Sobuju of the Mukryongbu. Nice to meet you.”
The Cheongsajamun was a sect based in Shaanxi and had a longer history than the Jeokchangmun.
Although Shaanxi’s losers, Hwasan and Jongnam, could not display their spirit properly, their military power was famous beyond Shaanxi and even to the Gangbuk area. The number of masters they possessed was so high that it was embarrassing to be classified as a small or medium-sized sect, and in particular, they possessed a large number of martial arts techniques from all powerful factions, so much so that the Jongnam sect sent their young disciples to train every year.
Among them, the Sajagwonsa was a position modeled after the Maehwageomsu of the Hwasan faction and was composed of the most talented members of the clan.
As the head of the Sajeongsa Temple, it seemed like Ha Jeong-woong would not even be able to make a mistake.
Heo Jung said politely.
“If you have time, could you stop by the main text for a moment? Lord Mun wishes to see Lord Sobu.”
“It’s a shame.”
Yeon Ho-jeong quenched his thirst with a sip of tea and spoke in a simple tone.
“I have time, but the pictures aren’t that good, so it’s probably not possible to go look for them in person.”
“…?!”
“If you want to see this person, it would be better to make a formal meeting. Or you can come visit us in person.”
The eyes of Heo Jung and the deacons became sharper.
But he didn’t act rashly. It was not because Yeon Ho-jeong was a monster, but because he had enough discipline.
Heo Jung bowed his head.
“I have come to convey Lord Mun’s words, so my role ends here. However, for Lord Moon’s sake, I would like to ask you one more favor personally.”
It was a polite tone. Although others may not know, Heo Jung’s attitude was definitely worth looking at.
Yeon Ho-jeong shook his head.
“I’m sorry. “I have my own circumstances.”
“…All right.”
“Please tell Moonju exactly what I said. “I don’t want you to misunderstand.”
“I will do that.”
“See you later.”
Heo Jung bowed his head and retreated, taking the deacons with him.
Jinyang scratched his head.
“It smells like something sour?”
“Did you put saliva under your nose?”
“What!”
Yeon Ho-jeong said with a grin.
“It’s getting a bit complicated. “Good, this kind of flow.”
