Chapter Index

    -What on earth did you talk about?

    As soon as Tang Shihua returned, Tang Shiwen hurriedly asked over the phone.

    Of course I was curious.

    What kind of trick did Jegal Se-ga use to move Namgung Hwa-ran?

    -I know you’re curious, but I don’t think now is the time.

    An unexpected answer.

    Tang Se-mun’s eyes were filled with doubt.

    -what?

    -It means that it is not the time to say anything yet.

    -What the hell are you talking about? Isn’t that the right time to talk?

    -I’m saying that it’s not clear enough to say anything. How can you say something that’s not clear?

    Dang Se-hwa continues to avoid answering questions.

    As a member of the ruling party, it was inevitable that it would be frustrating.

    -This is an important matter for the family. Why don’t you give the correct answer?

    -I can’t answer because I’m not sure if it’s important or trivial.

    -What?

    -Please wait a moment. It will become clear soon.

    -… … .

    Tang Shiwen was speechless at Tang Shihua’s stubborn attitude.

    He knows.

    How stubborn my sister is.

    Once you’ve made up your mind, it’s almost impossible to change your mind.

    ‘Ugh.’

    Tang Se-moon clicked his tongue bitterly.

    Regardless, Dang Se-hwa’s eyes were looking elsewhere.

    Where the Golden Dragon Pagoda is located.

    To be exact, it was the place where the Golden Dragon and the Sword Peak were together.

    ‘Huh, is that so?’

    Tang Se-hwa’s eyes sparkled in a unique way.

    Anyone can see that it is a trick to attract attention.

    But it looked a little different in her eyes.

    On the surface, he appears to be faithfully cooperating with Zhuge Liang.

    And there was no other sinister merchant who asked Namgung Hwa-ran to do the dirty work for him.

    An untrustworthy appearance.

    But rather, seeing the appearance of such a sinister merchant made me want to meet him even more.

    Because I thought that since he was that kind of person, there was a good chance that he would change ships in search of profit.

    ‘Well, it doesn’t matter.’

    If it’s a deception disguised as betrayal, it can be cut off on the spot.

    No, rather, it is possible to use that deception to deceive the opponent.

    Whatever happens, there is nothing to lose.

    The corners of Tang Se-hwa’s mouth twisted bitterly.

    ***

    Bang So-woon, who has everyone’s attention.

    Bang So-woon was calmly concentrating on the conversation.

    The board had already been set, but it was also because the opponent was a swordsman.

    In order to pick the flower beyond the impenetrable fortress, I had to find a clue to the strategy by any means necessary.

    And conversation can be an important means of finding that clue.

    “You seem like a peculiar person.”

    “I don’t think that’s something you should say.”

    “Haha, this is true. That’s a bit embarrassing. I don’t know about other things, but I pride myself on being a very normal person.”

    “Others don’t seem to think so.”

    Yoo Seol-young slightly tilted her chin.

    It means to look at the eyes of those around you.

    But even without looking around, Bang So-woon already knew how others were looking at him.

    “I think I’m receiving unexpected attention because of an unintentional slip of the tongue.”

    Bang So-woon let out a bitter smile.

    Of course, it wasn’t my intention to casually say the word ‘poison’.

    It’s not just because it gets attention though.

    “That was a slip of the tongue.”

    Yoo Seol-young mutters softly.

    But she didn’t care at all whether it was a slip of the tongue or not.

    There’s only one thing she’s curious about.

    It was an accurate prediction of a disaster that no one had known about simply by detecting the phenomenon called headwind.

    “How did you know?”

    This is where it gets important.

    Bang So-woon knew.

    To be honest, telling Geom-bong that he knew what he was talking about didn’t impress him at all.

    We need to give it some real flesh.

    Make it look like there’s something there.

    “I bought the information.”

    I bought the information.

    It has a completely different meaning than just hearing it.

    This means that he knew the importance of information and actively moved using his most powerful weapon, money.

    That too, information about the party gate where the Yongbong branch meeting is held.

    A small glimmer of doubt passed through Yoo Seol-young’s eyes, wondering if the answer Bang So-woon had chosen was correct.

    “You bought information? That’s strange. Such top secret information of the Tang family would be inaccessible even to Gaebang and Haomun.”

    Sharp observation.

    Even the world’s greatest scholar and scholar-official, Haomen, who was said to know even the number of spoons in a remote mountain village, could not know everything about the world.

    Especially if that is top secret information that is the vision of the Odaese family.

    The five great families, connected by blood, are a community that sticks together only for the benefit and prosperity of their family.

    Its solidarity was unmatched by any other sect in the world.

    It was easy to tell that the Goopailbang had some martial arts skills and had lay disciples, but the Odaesega did not have any martial arts skills.

    By the way, did you buy the information on Hwadok?

    It was natural for Yoo Seol-young to have doubts.

    “Haha, of course not Gaebong and Haomun.”

    “Then what about the party? I don’t think that makes any sense.”

    That was right.

    Because there is no way that such an incomparable bond can be broken just because of money.

    “Of course not.”

    “Then where on earth is it?”

    “Where do you think the world’s poisons are best known?”

    Bang So-woon instead smiled broadly and asked a question.

    Yoo Seol-young narrowed her eyes.

    “Of course it’s the party.”

    “Then where else?”

    “Hmm, Cheon-Dok-Mun (仟毒門)? But I doubt they know about the Tang-Mun’s secret, poison.”

    Yunnan’s Tian Du Men.

    Like Ghost Song, the Sapa-ro Dok located in the change was the second most famous sect after the Tang sect.

    But even so, the gap between him and the number one person is huge.

    As Yoo Seol-young said, there was no way that the second-in-command knew about the poison of the first-in-command’s vision.

    “Of course it will be. Then let me change the question a bit. Who would know Mandok the best?”

    “… … .”

    Yoo Seol-young didn’t answer right away this time.

    Because I knew he wasn’t talking about the Poison King.

    Since we have already discussed the Tang Dynasty, there is no point in mentioning the Poisonous King.

    then.

    “Are you saying there is a different answer than what people think?”

    “To cure all diseases, you must also know all poisons.”

    Bang So-woon blurts out meaningful words.

    Yoo Seol-young’s eyes wavered for a moment.

    Because it was an answer that hit a point I had never thought of.

    “Rep.? But… ….”

    “Absolutely trustworthy.”

    Bang So-woon’s confident answer.

    Yoo Seol-young unconsciously placed her hand on the left side of her neck.

    Because it gave me goosebumps.

    Absolute God.

    He was a legendary congressman who no one can deny and the greatest congressman of all time.

    A doctor about whom there is even a mythical tale that there was not a single patient he could not cure with his hands.

    No, that would definitely be true.

    Because countless patients who received new life through his hands passionately testified to this fact.

    Among them, of course, were patients who had been poisoned by countless different poisons that exist in the world.

    It means that any addiction is detoxified in the presence of the Absolute God.

    And of course, in order to detoxify, you must know the poison.

    If there is an absolute god who can cure all diseases, then he really can cure all diseases… … .

    ‘But the absolute God.’

    Dead.

    There is no one who does not know that.

    However, Bang So-woon mentioned the dead person.

    There’s no way it could have happened without a reason.

    ‘no way…….’

    Yoo Seol-young finally realized.

    What is the answer that Bang So-woon found to buy information?

    “The monster?”

    The two disciples of the absolute god, Seongsu Shinui and Yunzhong Gwai.

    Among them, the whereabouts of Seongsu Shinui have been unknown for a long time.

    So what’s the remaining answer?

    There is nothing but a monster.

    As it turned out, the monster was entangled with the Golden Dragon and the Pearl in an unusual relationship.

    The first martial artist that the Goyi allowed into Unjunggak, breaking the rule of never treating martial artists, was Geumryongjangju, and it was also Goyi who treated Geumryongjangju when his life was in critical condition due to an acute illness.

    So there can only be one answer.

    “As expected, Yoo So-jeogu-ryeo. That’s the correct answer.”

    Bang So-woon smiled faintly.

    Actually, getting the answer right at the end didn’t really mean anything.

    Because Bang So-woon had already mentioned the name of the absolute god.

    Yoo Seol-young thought so too.

    The important thing is.

    It was said that Bang So-woon approached the issue of Tangmun’s poison with an idea that no one would have thought of.

    Yoo Seol-yeong knew that it was an impossible idea for most humans.

    That’s why I had no choice but to look at Bang So-woon with new eyes once again.

    “You are definitely different.”

    different.

    It was truly unusual for the words “different” to come out of Geombong’s mouth.

    no.

    Perhaps this was the first time that Geom Bong had said something like this to the man.

    Bang So-woon also had an intuition that what he was saying just now was not something that meant ordinary things.

    A shiver ran down my spine.

    A sense of accomplishment and satisfaction.

    ‘This is it.’

    Bang So-woon let out a pleasant laugh inside.

    The distance that definitely entered the eye.

    Just for that reason, it was worth coming all the way to Yongbong Branch and making every effort to look presentable in front of Geombong.

    Still, I had to sort out my feelings.

    Because there’s still a long way to go.

    In order to break the iron wall flower, I had to pour all my heart and soul into it until the very end.

    “I know it’s too much praise, but I’ll take it with gratitude.”

    “That’s not too much praise.”

    “Haha, that’s embarrassing.”

    With a smile on his face, Bang So-woon brought up the words he had been saving for the right time.

    “By the way, can I mention the promise I made that day? The promise to buy congratulatory drinks for Yoo So-jeo as an observer of the historic military parade.”

    “Historical… that’s a grandiose adjective.”

    “It was a shocking enough event to be historical to me.”

    It wasn’t an empty promise.

    It was definitely a shock in itself to have defeated Haenam Sword Dragon, the great disciple of Haenam School and the absolute greatest martial artist in the Southern Sea.

    Anyway, that’s not the point.

    Only the answer of the swordsman is important.

    “Hmm, well, okay. I’ll agree when you decide on a suitable date and place.”

    Thump thump.

    Bang So-woon’s excited heart was pounding like crazy.
