Chapter 105

“Hey, Confucius, are you thinking what I think you’re thinking?”

“Neither do I. I don’t think he’s trying to make the Medicine Queen his concubine…”

Cheon Chushinui was startled when he said that. In addition to this, the ambush was equally startled. The two looked at each other once, then turned their heads to look at the side where Byeok Tae-san and Cho Seo-ran were.

But then, he shook his head. Compared to what he said he would, the atmosphere between the two did not seem to be very soft. The others, on the other hand, were now in a riot.

“What kind of legislators drink alcohol like water?”

Nine people, including the seven lawmakers who came with the Medicine Queen, and two lawmakers who worked at the golden house, were sitting around a table and quickly getting rid of all the alcohol and food.

He was very drunk and chattering hard, but half of him couldn’t understand what he was talking about. Even so, the conversation went well, making sure they understood everything.

Of course, if one were to listen quietly next to each other, you could see that they only said what they wanted to say to each other. Cheon Chushinui and Ilchimkai were sitting a little far away from them, blinking every now and then, and restraining themselves as much as possible.

‘Don’t get drunk.’

The promise must be taken while they were drunk. In addition to this, they had to make sure they wouldn’t forget that promise.

“By the way, can they drink like that and remember what they did today?”

Cheon Chushinui put on a slightly anxious expression. Seeing that kind of expression on his face, Ilchimkai snorted at him. “Have you forgotten who I am? I’m an idiot, I’m an idiot. A single bed can engrave memories in your mind. I’m drunk, so it’ll be better.”

“Isn’t that dangerous? If I touch the wrong head, will it cause a serious problem?”

“Don’t you worry? You think I’ve done it once or twice? Don’t worry, it’s a method I often use in betting.”

At this, Cheon Chushin’s eyes narrowed. “What, have you been betting like that?”

“What else can you do? I only make bets to win.”

After saying that, Ilchimkai glanced at Byeok Tae-san. Cheon Chushinui giggled at the sight of his behavior.

“Why are you like that? Remember when we were betting with Confucius? Still, well, isn’t this good enough? If it wasn’t for Confucius, I assure you, your brother would have been stabbed in the back on the way.”

The scoundrel laughed bitterly. “What… It must have been…”

The eyes of the two men turned to Tae-san once again. He was a person who had changed their destiny and their life by getting entangled one after another.

Even though he was bothered and afraid of what would happen again, his heart raced.

“Come on, let’s get ready to work. Everyone is starting to taste it.”

The two lawmakers sneakily approached the nine lawmakers in the Cheon Yakbang with sly expressions on their faces. And while they were playing like that, Byeok Tae-san and Cho Seo-ran were sitting facing each other and drinking only alcohol.

The reason why Byeok Tae-san had even dared to comply with the robber’s request was no big deal. He just felt good today, simply because it was nothing more than just going out for a drink.

In addition to this, today’s drink tasted pretty good, so he was feeling a little better. Now this place was Baekhwaru. However, it wasn’t a Giru, it was a Jiru with the same name.

Of course, it was a Jiru being operated by Hao Mun. It was also where Baekhwaruju’s direct subordinates were in charge. From the moment they came in, Hao Mun had chosen on his own.

Hao Mun’s eyes and ears were all over Baekhwa-ru, and he was absorbing every conversation they had here. In addition to this, after identifying their identities, they began to collect information related to Cheon Yakbang on their own.

The information gathered at the Hao Mun branch near the Moorimmeng and the information gathered by the Haomundos near the Cheon Yakbang were moving rapidly to infinity. And so, he started to collect information on Cheon Yakbang a little more deeply.

The collected information will be delivered to Byeoktaesan within a few days. That was the power of Hao Mun, who came to possess the perfect ummyeongbo.

Meanwhile, Cho Seo-ran and Byeok Tae-san hardly had a proper conversation until the drinking party was over. It was just that sometimes when Cho Seo-ran spoke to him, Byeok Tae-san simply replied back.

When it was nearing the end of the drinking party, Byeok Tae-san asked abruptly. “What do you want?”

“Yes?”

“You keep looking at me with your eyes full of hope, and you suddenly become curious.”

“Oh…!”

Cho Seo-ran smiled bitterly at the fact that his secret was revealed. In addition to his, he looked at Byeok Tae-san with a fresh pair of eyes.

He honestly didn’t think he’d ever find out. This was because she was pretty confident about hiding her own heart.

“It was not for nothing that the old man was serving.”

Since there was such an extraordinary side, wouldn’t it be that some kind of gossip or a god of heaven bowed her head and went under her? Byeok Tae-san stared at Cho Seo-ran, as if to tell him what he wanted right away.

“I… I kind of want to give Confucius a heart attack.”

“No.”

“Yes?”

Cho Seo-ran, who looked Tae-san with bewildered eyes as if she had cut her with a single knife, spoke again with a bashful smile.

“He’s a better member than I thought. The two lawmakers over there are great, but I’m in a far different field than them, so it’ll definitely help you if you do the right thing.”

Byeok Tae-san did not respond. He had already recovered from his illness, so what should she do? Moreover, Byeok Tae-san was clearly aware of the condition of his own body, even if he did not need to receive the doctor’s pulse.

And so, he immediately found out that it was a jeep, and she clearly recognized which gimaek was cut off. If something went wrong with her body, she could even heal that part on her own.

It wasn’t that she had mastered the magic of ghost magic or the golden gong for nothing. However, she had no need and no reason to receive the blood of the drug king whose skill was inferior to that of the god of heaven’s.

Cho Seo-ran continued to persuade her by twisting and changing her words several times since then, but since then, Byeok Tae-san had not said a word, and had only tilted her glass of wine.

In the end, Cho Seo-ran didn’t get what she wanted until the end of her drinking party.

However, she didn’t give up.

* * *

“Oh, that’s great. How could you come up with such an idea?” Cho Seo-ran looked at Cheon Chushinui with an admiring expression.

She was now debating about Cheon Chushinui and Ilchimkai.

She didn’t reveal all the secrets to making the Chonchu Shrine, she only revealed some of them, but she could recognize its core, which made her nickname as the Queen of Medicine all the more fitting.

She didn’t end there, but she suggested improvements to the Cheonchu Shrine.

“I think swapping out a few herbs for something else could significantly improve the effect.. How about something like this?” She wrote down some herbs on a piece of paper.

Seeing this, Cheon Chushinui and Ilchimkai nodded.

“Exactly… If that’s the case, it might be possible to only increase the strength increase effect without touching the other effects. But if you do that, the herbs you use will be too expensive. The key to my Cheonchu deity is to have an efficacy comparable to that of Spirituality with cheap medicinal herbs.”

Of course, there was a disadvantage in the sense that it took some time to get the effect like the spirit team instead.

“Then we can just replace these two herbs with another one here. So, the price doesn’t seem to make much difference?”

Cheon Chushinui looked at Cho Seo-ran with her twinkling eyes.

“Do you have any intention of becoming my colleague?”

Cho Seo-ran replied with a bashful smile. “Does God need to enter the Cheon Yakbang for that?”

It had already been three days since Cho Seo-ran came to the golden house. During that time, she became quite close to Cheon Chushinui. She had originally had an acquaintance with Ilchimkai, but she became more intimate with him.

Meanwhile, the seven lawmakers who came from the Cheon Yakbang were being abused as they took on the work of Cheon Chushinui and Ilchimkai. It all happened because Cho Seo-ran agreed with Cheon Chushinui’s claim that it would help her practice in medicine.

Of course, half of the reason was that Cheon Chushinui half-forced to get an appointment from them at a drinking party before that, though.

In the midst of talking about the Cheonchu Shrine, Cho Seo-ran secretly changed the subject.

“But… How’s Tae-san Byeok’s health?”

Cheon Chushinui answered Cho Seo-ran’s question indifferently. “What… He used to be dying of lameness, but now he’s a lot better, isn’t she?”

“Yes? You said he has been lame?” Cho Seo-ran’s eyes widened. In fact, the reason she wanted to shun Byeok Tae-san was not because of her weakness, but because of her anti-strength.

Her information about Tae-san was that he possessed an unusual constitution that knocked down her classmates at once. She sent her lawmakers to Homuryeon to find out and she contacted them, so she made excuses, to the point that she came to check out Tae-san herself.

However, out of the blue, why was the joint protruding out of nowhere?

“Then, is it possible that the reason the anti-gangsters can’t get their pulse near Confucius Byeok is because of desperation?”

“Well. I don’t know that either. Well, Confucius-sama, it’s been a long time since I’ve had blood.”

Cho Seo-ran didn’t understand, she asked, “The person you are serving is jaundice, but you didn’t do it properly?”

“It had to be at first. Did you think he was a real corpse back then?”

Cheon Chushinui smiled and continued. “But now my condition has improved to the point where I don’t need to do it anymore. maybe… Almost got better… Do you want to?”

At this, Cho Seo-ran blinked, looking alternately at Cheon Chushinui and Ilchimkai. “Still, it’s good to be certain, so shouldn’t you give it a try? I’ll help too!”

Cheon Chushinui and Ilchimkai’s expressions suddenly flickered. “What… Is it really necessary?”

Cho Seo-ran felt so frustrated that she felt like her heart was about to explode. “Of course we need to. So, won’t our Cheon Yakbang’s lawmakers continue to help the elderly in the future?”

Hearing this, Ilchimkai smiled bitterly. “You are still there.”

Cho Seo-ran smiled wildly. “Are you saying I’m the same? I’ll take it as a compliment.”

Suddenly, the monster shook his head. It seemed that it was not easy to break that stubbornness.

‘But this time it’s a little different. Because there are people in the world who go beyond your common sense and imagination.’

* * *

The information that Ru Baekhwa brought today was about the Cheon Yakbang. It was not that Byeok Tae-san had asked him to investigate, but it was gathered information about those who approached Tae-san all the same.

It was burdensome because most of the information was collected continuously.

Byeok Tae-san, who had been checking the documents for a while, tossed them into the air.

Whoops!

Each document was scattered in the air and then burned all at once.

Byeok Tae-san looked at Ru Baekhwa silently. Seeing him work on his own, he was found to be quite unique.

“You did well.”

At this, Ru Baekhwa’s expression brightened at once.

“Isn’t it a bit strange that Cheon Yakbang’s financial situation became difficult?”

“There were a lot of artificial signs.”

“It’s artificial…”

Byeok Tae-san thought about the contents of the report he had read earlier. There were definitely some corners that weren’t natural.

“That means that someone has come forward and worked in the Cheon Yakbang.”

“We haven’t gotten any information on that yet, but I think we can guess.”

“Why do you think you played such a trick? Were you trying to eat the Cheon Yakbang?”

Even Ru Baekhwa wasn’t sure about that part yet. In fact, if that was the purpose, someone in the middle must have approached. However, until Cheon Yakbang reached out to Moorimmaeng, no one would.

“I am suspicious of the Moorim League.”

“The Moorimmaeng?” Byeok Tae-san looked at Ru Baekhwa with a curious expression.

It was not like any other place, for the Moorimmaeng used such tricks to eat the Cheon Yakbang. What a fun thing this was!

“On the basis?”

“Cheon Yakbang’s financial situation did not improve significantly after joining hands with Moorimmaeng.”

“Aren’t you a little surprised?”

“He put out the fire, but the situation is still there. At this rate, he will continue to owe the Moorimmaeng.”

Byeok Tae-san thought about what he knew about the Moorimmeng. Some particular people came to mind.

Byeok Tae-san shook his head. “It’s strange. To be honest, I don’t think the Moorimmaeng would do such a thing…”

He didn’t know the details about them, but they weren’t the ones who would do such mean things.

At this, Byeok Tae-san’s eyes lit up as he spoke to Ru Baekhwa.

“Look a little more closely. And…”

As he trailed off, Ru Baekhwa shifted, nervously anticipating his next words.

“Look at how I can eat Cheon Yakbang.”

At this, Ru Baekhwa’s eyes widened.

However, he soon smiled and he answered in a determined tone.

“It would be my honor.”
