Chapter 101

Jeok Gyeol-myung headed to the golden house whilst harboring a happy heart. Today was the day he promised with Cheon Chushinui.

Today, he decided to meet the quarrel of Byeok Tae-san called Chae-wol. And then, he would take that person as his disciple.

Jeok Gyeol-myung didn’t even think that Chae-wol would turn down her own offer. No matter how much he had received favor from Byeok Tae-san, it was the same no matter how Chae-wol tried to keep her loyalty.

It was common sense that if she wanted to repay Byeok Tae-san for her favor, it was far better for her to become Heukryeon’s disciple, who was a powerful person. It would take some time, but one would become much stronger and gain power.

In addition to this, depending on how Chae-wol behaved, she could have wielded greater power. Whether thinking about the present or the future, it was in the interest of everyone to accept her own proposal.

And so, Chae-wol was not a worry. The thing that Jeok Gyeol-myung was most worried about was Byeok Tae-san. It was difficult if Tae-san told Chae-wol separately in order to prevent her from leaving. She didn’t know for sure as she hadn’t figured out her inclinations yet, but looking at her back-and-forth mood, it was probably going to be very difficult if Byeok Tae-san were to interfere in that way.

‘I should have blocked it in advance…’

Jeok-gyeol frowned at her. He should have dealt with this the last time he met Byeok Tae-san.

However, the atmosphere of the day made it impossible. Jeok Gyeol-myung still wondered why they did that on that day. He still thought that there was a hidden master behind this situation, so he had been snooping around, but he hadn’t really come up with anything.

All he could find out was that Byeok Tae-san had some connections with the Nangin market and that he was acquainted with some of the infinite black swordsmen. In addition, that was no surprise at all. When it came to Confucius, who had some money, it was common to draw a line to a group of nerds and black swords and used money to play them around.

As she thought about this and that, she arrived at the gold closet, and she was able to meet the governor of the gold closet, who had come out ahead of time.

“It is an honor to meet you. I am Gamujin.” The general greeted politely and guided the name of Jeokgyeol inside.

“I heard that you are not seeing our Confucius today.”

At the commander’s words, Jeok Gyeol-myung nodded. “It happened. Today, I’m going to meet only one quarrel between God and Confucius, and I plan on going back right away. I just happened to be busy….”

“Oh, you are. He is also a master of black lily. Here it is.” Jeok Gyeol-myung followed the commander-in-chief with a shaky expression on his face.

Actually, he also wanted to meet Byeok Tae-san today. To be honest, wouldn’t it be much easier to take Chae-wol by meeting Byeok Tae-san and building a discussion board?

However, the meeting was canceled because Byeok Tae-san said no because he was busy. It was really annoying, but strangely, he didn’t feel bad about it.

This was also a bit strange, but when he heard that he could not meet Byeok Tae-san, he was honestly a little more comfortable.

‘Am I uncomfortable with Byeok Tae-san? Why?’

He couldn’t help but think of this. Soon, he had arrived at the waiting room.

“You can go inside. He is waiting.”

At this, Jeok Gyeol-myung simply apologized and went into the waiting room. She had a momentary eye-brightening experience.

‘You’re pretty, you’re really pretty.’

There were several people in the waiting room. Still, his gaze turned only to Chae-wol.

‘How come you just look prettier than then?’

That was how he felt. Chae-wol was far beautiful now than when he first saw her.

“Sit down over here for now.”

Hearing the words of Cheon Chushinui, he immediately came to his senses and sat down at the place he recommended. It was a seat facing Chae-wol, Cheon Chushinui, and Ilchimkai. Chae-wol was sitting in the middle, and Cheon Chushinui and Ilchimkai were placed on either side of her.

After she sat down like that, she was able to turn her gaze to the back of the three of them. Cheon Kyung-wan and Yoo Seo-yeon were standing behind them.

At this, Jeok Gyeol-myeong’s expression darkened.

‘Look at this?’

Jeok Gyeol-myung was obviously far below the skills of the likes of Cheon Kyung-wan and Yoo Seo-yeon. However, he was by no means easy going.

At this, Gyeol-myung tried to recall information about the people around him.

‘Chun Kyung-wan and Yoo Seo-yeon. Were they these outstanding people?’

He decided that if he ever returned, he would have to start researching more about Tae-san and his lackeys, even if he had to start from the very beginning. And the one-shot monster sitting in front of him was not at a satisfactory level.

In fact, a lot of information about the Japanese invasion had been collected from the Heukryeon dimension for a very long time. This was because information about outstanding lawmakers was really important from the point of view of the armed forces.

However, the Invasion of Invasion was also very different from what Heukryeon investigated.

‘Breathtaking.’

The process of doing so would never be smooth.

Suddenly, this place became a little burdensome. If something happened and a fight broke out, it could be a bit difficult.

“Come on, the seat is reserved. So now, say what you want to say.” Cheon Chushinui said this with a smile.

Jeok Gyeol-myung tried to stay calm as he looked at Chae-wol. And when he looked into Chae-wol’s eyes, he thought that things would not go well today.

‘Ha, I can’t force this.’

However, he had already checked the faces of those who came here today and folded them neatly.

“Did you come out and hear what I was going to say?”

“Yes. I heard about it.”

“You came out with a decision to say no.”

“You’re right.”

“Is it because of Confucius Pi?”

“Partly, yes.”

“Then I’ll have to walk the other half.”

It was like asking what the other half was. Instead of answering verbally, Chae-wol looked around slowly. Ilchimkai and Cheon Chushinui were sitting nearby, Cheon Kyung-wan and Yoo Seo-yeon behind, and other people who were not here but somewhere in the golden house.

At this, Jeok Gyeol-myeong smirked. “You don’t even let a needle go through.”

Jeok Gyeol-myung stared at Chae-wol with a firm expression on his face. “The future of you and the people around you is at stake. If you make such a sentimental decision, you will surely regret it later.”

At this, Chae-wol replied calmly, “It’s not just an emotional decision.”

Jeok Gyeol-myung’s eyebrows twitched.

“And you won’t regret it.”

Jeok Gyeol-myung looked at Chae-wol without saying a word. He wasn’t glaring at her, but he was staring with pressure in his eyes, so most people probably wouldn’t even be able to make eye contact with him properly.

However, Chae-wol did not avoid Jeok Gyeol-myung’s gaze and faced him directly. She didn’t even blink. At this, Jeok Gyeol-myung shook his head and got up from his seat. He knew there was no point in talking more.

“I wish I could keep the words I just said to the end.” After saying that, Jeok Gyeol-myung looked at Cheon Chushinui and Ilchimkai.

“I’ll just go back.” At this, Cheon Chushinui blinked at Chun Kyung Wan, looking at Jeok Gyeol-myung, who bowed lightly and turned around and left the waiting room.

Chun Kyung-wan quickly followed and guided Jeok Gyeol-myung until he left the golden closet. Cheon Chushinui looked at Chae-wol, who was sitting still.

“Are you okay?”

“Yes. I’m fine.”

“It’s okay,” said the ambusher, sounding exactly like a prankster. Then, he suddenly held out a pill wrapped in paper.

“If you eat this, your mind and body will be a little more stable. The tremors will subside.”

“Oh… thank you.”

“It’s not a good drug for you to feel thankful for. Hurry up and eat.” Chae-wol smiled softly at this. Then, after peeling the paper, he put the medicine in his mouth and chewed it slowly.

“Must you really be so blunt?”

“What do you mean, bastard?” Cheon Chushinui looked at Chae-wol. “You understand. I’ve been swearing all my life, so I can’t use nice words. When are you going to fix that? Ttttttttttttttttt.”

He then shook his head. “I can’t tell if I’m serving my brother these days or if I’m teaching my kids.”

Chae-wol covered her mouth and smiled slightly. Seeing this, the scoundrel screamed. “What makes you laugh? You can’t make me laugh like that! Do you know that you are all right?”

“Hey, why are you arguing with Chae-wol? You don’t even open your mouth in front of that guy.”

“Hey! Why are you saying that now! And you told me to keep my mouth shut! Shit, do you want to go and get a match right now?”

“Stop swearing. Chae-wol, you understand. Didn’t I tell you earlier? I’ve been living with swearing. It is very difficult to change one’s original personality. So tell me, what do you want to do? We should just try to understand.” S

Suddenly, the monster clenched his fist and lifted it. Looking at his clenched fists, one could tell that he was full of anger.

“Hey, come to think of it, I haven’t cut the herbs yet. Then I will.” As Cheon Chushinui left them behind, the Invaders strode after him. In addition to this, Chae-wol looked at the two with a warm smile on her lips. She no longer trembled.

Yoo Seo-yeon patted Chae-wol on the shoulder. She had a smile similar to that of Chae-wol on the corner of her lips.

* * *

Namgung-jun and Zhuge-gwan were sitting at a large round table, sharing a glass of wine.

The relationship between Namgung Sega and Zhuge Sega was neither good nor bad. This was because the regions where the two Sega were active were quite far apart, so the scope did not overlap, and because there were no major incidents for a while, the two families rarely helped each other when having to deal with something.

Anyway, since the two families were like that, the relationship between Namgungjun and Zhuge Sega was the exact same. In fact, they were getting closer. The trigger was an encounter with Byeok Tae-san that happened recently.

As they talked about the events of the day, they met more often and talked a lot, and in doing so, they got closer. Since this was the largest base in Wuhan, there was a lot of space where just the two of them could have a drink.

“We’ve seen each other a lot in the meantime, so why don’t we open up a little today?” At Zhuge Kwan’s words, Namgung smiled slightly and nodded in reply.

The last time was a process of confirming each other’s inclinations and temperament. Now that they were at a certain angle, it was now time to draw a conclusion. “Be honest with me. I came to Wuhan because of those who gnaw our Sega on the floor.”

“So am I. Shake our Namgung Sega There are good guys out there.”

“Can’t you figure it out?”

“I’m getting there.”

There was silence for a moment between the two. “Maybe that’s why the Moorimmaeng and Heukryeon also came here, I think.”

At Namgung Sega’s words, Zhuge Sega nodded. “Perhaps it will. They’re the ones who touched us, so there’s a good chance they’ve touched the Moorimmaeng or Heukryeon. But it is clear to me that Jeok Gyeol-myeong and Jin Sa-hong do not know about it.”

“You don’t know?”

“Moorimmaeng and Heukryeon probably threw Jin Sa-hong and Jeokgyeolmyeong as baits and move under the water.”

At Zhuge Sega’s words, Namgung smiled and shook his head. “Maybe the rest of the five generations are suffering without realizing it.”

The conversation between the two proved to be quite serious. “Isn’t what happened in Homu-ryun the same as they did?”

“Our side didn’t move that openly, so I can’t be honest, but… The chances are very high.”

“The problem is… All traces of infinity have disappeared.”

Namgungjun frowned at Zhuge Sega’swords. “Byeok Tae-san must have cleared up those people who entered Wuhan in such an instant.”

“I’m sure it’s connected to the market and the black island group… I had no idea how they were used, so Won.”

“He’s such a great guy. It is clear that there is a hidden master… Where are you hiding?”

“Anyway, now what? Do you intend to stay in infinity forever?”

There was no possibility that anything special would happen in Wuhan for a while now, as those who were weak in Wuhan cut off their tails and disappeared. If so, it was only right to withdraw.

However, Zhuge Sega kept feeling like it shouldn’t be. The reason for this was made clear.

“Byeok Tae-san…”

Byeok Tae-san’s existence continued to be a concern. Zhuge Sega looked at Namgungjun and said, “Let’s try to get closer with Cheon Chushinui and Ilchimkai.”

“Do you really need to?”

“However, I can’t be friends with Byeok Tae-san. How big is the age difference?”

“But… So, we’re talking about attacking his surroundings.”

“That’s correct. From the looks of it, it’s easy to approach them because they seem to like alcohol and women, not like outstanding lawmakers.”

“Do that.”

The two smiled and raised the glass to their foreheads, then emptied it at once. They had no idea that Cheon Chushinui and Ilchimkai were in a situation where they couldn’t move around for the time being, all while they were cultivating medicinal herbs.
