Chapter Index

    “The smell is so strong.”

    “That’s right.”

    When we arrived in Sacheon, we were startled by the strong smell wafting in.

    When I came to Sacheon, I thought of only the Sacheon Tang family because it was a martial arts story.

    However, one of the things that Sichuan is famous for as much as Tang is its cuisine, and among them, Sichuan’s spicy cuisine is extremely famous.

    My eyes and nose were stinging from the pungent aromas and pungent scents of spices.

    As a proud Korean, I think I can handle spicy food better than most foreigners.

    The spiciness of Korea and this unique Chinese spice were a little different.

    It’s like the difference between a dish that makes your mouth hurt and a spicy dish that makes your nose tingle.

    “Let’s start by looking for accommodation. If possible, find one that is far from the market.”

    “Yeah.”

    To get away from the spicy smell, we found accommodation in a slightly remote place.

    If possible, I tried to find a place to stay near Dangga, but it seemed like people from other places, such as the sects, Sega, and even people who were expecting the non-competition competition had already found a place to stay.

    “It’s about a week from now.”

    It is understandable that there is a shortage of accommodation space.

    They say it’s been a long time since this many sects gathered together to do a martial arts show.

    People must have moved in advance.

    We were able to get the accommodation we had booked because it was expensive and other guests were avoiding it.

    “There’s one bed.”

    “Haha… That’s right.”

    The room was spacious, but there was only one bed.

    After exchanging awkward glances, we decided to decide what to do next.

    First of all, since we came to Sacheon, we decided to conduct training that can only be done in Sacheon.

    “What is that?”

    “Eat poison and memorize it.”

    ” and…”

    Although it was a training that could only be done in Sacheon, it was a training that did not inspire any motivation at all.

    But it will definitely help.

    Because I’ve been training as I’ve been told so far, my skill level has been rising smoothly.

    It will be the same this time too.

    When I made a face that said I was taken aback, Mo Yong-yeon smiled faintly.

    “Don’t worry, you can do it.”

    “Yes…”

    It’s not that I lack motivation because I don’t think I can do it.

    I answered dryly and counterattacked.

    “Then, when will you meet me, oppa?”

    “Ah… that’s…”

    Mo Yong-yeon swallowed and avoided eye contact.

    It didn’t make sense that we came this far and didn’t meet.

    But Mo Yong-yeon couldn’t easily muster up the courage.

    I have no choice but to give you courage instead.

    “Or just finish the competition slowly…”

    “Let’s go meet up today instead.”

    “Today?”

    Mo Yong-yeon was seen waving his hands in confusion.

    It was shaking.

    I said it pressingly.

    “Yes, I have to do my training and participate in the non-martial arts competition, so today is probably the most free day, right?”

    “That’s true…”

    Mo Yong-yeon nodded, as if my persuasion had worked.

    Eventually we got moving right away.

    From what I’ve heard, Mo Yong-yeon’s older brother is said to be working as a bodyguard guarding the upper class at a flag station managed by the Sacheon Dang family.

    It is said that he was kicked out by the Murong family because he was a half-child and had no talent, but that was also the story within the Murong family.

    Even the martial arts that he was said to have no talent for were, when viewed generally, considered to be strong enough to belong to the ranks of first-class warriors.

    “This is it.”

    “…Are you there?”

    As we walked behind Mo Yong-yeon, we saw a place in the distance where people were gathered.

    And then a loud scream was heard.

    “You really want to die!”

    The loud scream was filled with internal energy, making it resonate even louder.

    Judging from the internal energy contained within, he seemed to have quite a bit of skill.

    Somehow I felt like it would be annoying if we got involved.

    “…No way.”

    “Master?”

    I didn’t think it was there, but as expected, Mo Yong-yeon’s expression became serious and he started running towards the direction of the sound.

    I sighed.

    “Hoo…”

    Knock!

    I pushed the ground hard with my feet and jumped, and was able to easily catch up with Mo Yong-yeon’s back.

    The place we arrived was a yard in front of a large building.

    Is this the top?

    In the yard, two carriages were lined up side by side, and people were crowding around the yard.

    After landing on the perimeter, we pushed through the crowd a bit to see what people were looking at.

    There were three men of different ages, a large man lying on the ground, and an old man between them.

    The three young men were all dressed in sky-blue uniforms, while the larger man lay in a rough black uniform.

    The small old man intervened and calmed the three of them down.

    “Oh my, why are you doing this? If this continues, the people in the family will find out and we’ll be in big trouble.”

    “Okay, I guess we should have a chat today.”

    Although the old man secretly scared them, the men came out as if to say, “If you want to try, go for it.”

    “You hired that guy as a bodyguard even though you knew he was from our Moryong family.”

    “Did you hire that guy?”

    “I, I just…ugh…”

    Instead, this time the sparks flew to the old man.

    The pressure exerted by the drones made the old man suffocate and let out a weak gasp.

    “Ugh… Isn’t that all in the past…”

    The man who had fallen grabbed his abdomen and staggered to his feet.

    Looking at the conversation and the situation, it seemed like this was the older brother of Mo Yong-yeon that I had been looking for.

    “If you were kicked out, you should have known shame and gone into hiding, but instead of just hanging around the Tang family and sullying the name of the Murong family!”

    When he heard those words, a vein appeared on the forehead of the staggering man.

    “…Yes, I was kicked out. I am now the party leader, not the Mo Yong-cheong. So please stop now and go. Brother.”

    “Huh, you want me to just do whatever I want and leave?”

    The man who was pointed out, who looked to be in his mid-30s, answered with a smile.

    But it’s just a fake smile with the corners of the mouth extended.

    There was a glint of life in his eyes.

    Perhaps, if it weren’t for the large number of onlookers, they would have attacked right away.

    “Since when have you been able to order me to come? Nothing will change even if you are the one in charge.”

    “…Brother, this is Sacheon.”

    The mood of the onlookers changed slightly at the man’s words.

    “Here, the names of the parties have different meanings.”

    “…Ha!”

    Then the man glared at the onlookers and spoke in a low, growling voice.

    “If you are confident, come forward. The great disciple of Daemo Yongse will deal with you.”

    As soon as he said that, he started to release his internal energy.

    Even at a glance, it seemed like they had already reached a certain level.

    The onlookers could not help but step back, hesitating in the face of his inner strength and momentum, even as they glared at the man.

    “Huh, that’s how it is in the end.”

    “Brother, there are two people over there…”

    “Huh?”

    But only two.

    There were two people looking at the man of the Mo Yong Se family who was exuding internal energy as if he had no interest at all.

    Of course, it was me and my teacher, Mo Yong-yeon.

    That’s about the level of internal energy.

    I felt sick of spending every day in the cave with Mo Yong-yeon.

    The man looked at Mo Yong-yeon and raised the corners of his mouth.

    “Someone asked, isn’t it Kite?”

    “Don’t call my name.”

    “…sob…”

    As soon as the man of the Murong family called his name, murderous intent rose up in Murong Yan.

    Purrr!

    The yard was filled with a ferocious murderous spirit that made even the carriage horses, which had been quiet all along, start making noise.

    Of course, even for a man who had truly received that life force, all he had to do was regulate his breathing.

    “There is a limit to how much you can endure.”

    “Hey, Yeon-ah!”

    “Hoo…”

    When Murong Yan’s older brother, surprised by her murderous spirit, called Murong Yan’s name, her murderous spirit calmed down a little.

    However, Mo Yong-yeon seemed to be troubled, tapping the sword on his waist with his fingers as if his anger was not going away.

    I guess you’re wondering whether to cut down those three guys or not.

    If things continued like this, it seemed like something was really going to happen.

    My teacher is good at everything.

    He was a person who had difficulty controlling his strength.

    “Sigh.”

    It finally seemed like it was time for me to step forward.

    “Ahem.”

    I walked out slowly and inserted myself between Murong Yan and the Murong Shi family’s men.

    And then, he cleared his throat and focused attention.

    Only then did Mo Yong-yeon’s eyes, which had been sparkling with life, gradually become quiet.

    “…Please.”

    “Yes, I will take care of it.”

    Leaving the work to me, Mo Yong-yeon approached her older brother hesitantly.

    “Yeon-ah… That person…”

    “My disciple, take a rest for now.”

    Mo Yong-yeon glanced over here, then nodded when our eyes met.

    And then, I took the old man and my brother inside to the top.

    It must be to treat my brother’s injuries.

    I could feel Mo Yong-yeon’s trust in me from that brief eye contact right before we parted ways.

    Mo Yong-yeon believed that I would mediate this situation peacefully.

    Of course, it won’t be completely peaceful, but it’ll be better than leaving it to Mo Yong-yeon.

    “Where is this bitch going!”

    Among the men of the Murong family, the one who looked the youngest began to run towards Murong Yan, who was going towards the upper inner side.

    Of course, I didn’t just watch.

    Knock knock!

    I jumped up from my seat in one breath and blocked the guy’s path.

    “Wh, what is it!”

    The guy tried to draw his sword at me who suddenly appeared in front of him, but my hand was much faster.

    puck!

    “Ugh…”

    Before he could even pull out his sword, my fist struck the guy in the stomach, and he fell to the floor with a gasping sound.

    Just like the older brother of Mo Yong-yeon that I saw at first.

    Only then did the remaining two people begin to look at me a little differently.

    “Who are you?”

    “Master’s disciple.”

    “Yeon-i’s?…”

    “Brother, I will do it.”

    A man who looked about my age walked out with a look of discomfort on his face.

    “This will be your grave.”

    ” and…”

    I never thought I’d actually hear that line.

    As I laughed in admiration, I saw a pretty scratched guy gritting his teeth.
