36.Martial Arts Appearance

Yoo-i’s group and Yoo-eun’s group ended up joining tables.

The bill was paid by Yoo So-hong, not Namgoong Yoo-i.

She suddenly offered to help, it seemed she had fallen for Yoo-eun.

 

 

‘This unni is a woman too…’

 

 

Even though she was fairly good-looking, she hadn’t dated or had any marriage proposals, so I thought she wasn’t interested.

But seeing her today, she’s practically smitten.

Just seeing his face and she’s like this. I wondered if he used some kind of black magic, but if he were going to, he would have used it on Yoo-i herself, not So-hong.

 

 

Objectively, in terms of position and beauty, wouldn’t I be better than So-hong?

 

 

‘That being said, he’s really handsome…’

 

 

The man was eating noodles and dumplings without a word.

The four women sitting next to him were also showing off their beauty, but since Yoo-i is a woman, she was more concerned about Yoo-eun.

As a daughter of a large family, she was trained in beauty, so she wasn’t immediately smitten like So-hong, but she could understand the feeling and kept looking at him.

 

 

 

“Hmm. It’s edible. What does it taste like to Gungju-nim?”

“…It’s okay.”

 

When Yoo-eun put down his chopsticks, Seo-hyun and the other three women reflexively put down their chopsticks.

Only Gungju was still smacking her lips.

 

That strange relationship caught Yoo-i’s eye.

 

 

“Um…are you people from Goryeo?”

“Goryeo? Ah…well, yes.”

 

 

Because I’m Korean.

 

 

“You speak Central Plains language well. There are no flaws at all. Does the food culture suit you?”

 

She was bothered by the women’s behavior of being more polite to Yoo-eun than to Gungju, but it wasn’t uncommon in the Central Plains, so she decided to ignore it.

More important than that was who these people were and what they came to do.

And Yoo So-hong’s romance too.

 

“Actually, I haven’t been able to enjoy the food much since I haven’t been in the Central Plains for long. Noodles and dumplings are delicious.”

“I see…”

 

 

Not long?

Suddenly, I became suspicious.

 

 

This place is a small city in Xi’an.

To get to Xi’an from Goryeo, you have to pass at least four provinces: Kaifeng, Hebei, Shanxi, and Shaanxi.

Naturally, it takes more than a month.

 

 

‘Come to think of it, it doesn’t make sense that they don’t have any money to use even after coming this far? How did they get here?’

 

 

If it’s a short distance, you can somehow load up on food. But it would have been a schedule that lasted more than a month, so did they carry all that food with them?

Even if they did, how did they manage to look so clean and refreshed, as if they had just come out of the house?

 

 

To wash and eat while passing through so many provinces, they would have needed to exchange money, so it’s normal for them to have money now.

Or maybe they’ve been solving everything like this until now? By freeloading?

 

 

Once I started to doubt, every corner was questionable.

 

‘I’ve never even heard of a Harem Palace in the first place. Even if it’s a Goryeo sect…if it’s big enough to call itself a ‘Palace,’ I would have heard of it at least once.’

 

 

There are countless sects in Goryeo, and some of them are so powerful that they exert influence even in the Central Plains.

Representatively, ‘Hanyang Yi family’ and ‘Hae Dong Sword Sect.’

 

 

In the case of the Yi family, they have a huge financial power that operates trading companies throughout Goryeo and crosses over to Shandong and Hebei in the Central Plains, and even Shaanxi, so they have a strong influence in the Central Plains.

Moreover, there are rumors that they have a huge collection of branches, bought elixirs, and martial arts books that were planted here and there when Goryeo ruled the Central Plains, and they occasionally show their faces at martial arts competitions, so they are known as a major sect.

 

 

Also, ‘Hae Dong Sword Sect,’ which has produced countless Goryeo generals for over 400 years, was also quite famous.

However, Hae Dong Sword Sect had a bad reputation because many of Goryeo’s generals were from Hae Dong Sword Sect, so naturally, many of their soldiers were also from Hae Dong Sword Sect, and they were often mobilized for Goryeo’s frequent expeditions to the Central Plains.

 

 

Whenever Goryeo came to the Central Plains for expeditions, the Ming Dynasty confronted them with the government army and the Martial Alliance, so in a way, they were mortal enemies.

Even the Namgoong family alone lost over a thousand disciples due to the expeditions of Greater Goryeo during the past history, and dozens of direct descendants died as a result.

 

 

Thanks to this, in the orthodox martial world, ‘Hae Dong Sword Sect’ is almost as hated as the Demonic Cult.

 

 

 

Anyway, sects of this size tend to have their names known even beyond the border.

But Harem Palace?

I’ve never heard of it.

 

 

‘Could it be…’

 

 

Then a thought suddenly occurred to me.

 

‘Are they vanguards?’

 

 

The past 200 years have been a time of peace.

The Demonic Cult didn’t run rampant, and the orthodox and unorthodox martial worlds didn’t bother to provoke or touch them.

The Xiongnu occasionally came down, but their power was weak.

 

 

And above all, Greater Goryeo was unusually quiet.

 

 

But would the nature of a country change easily?

Greater Goryeo was a very combative country, and it was a complete gangster state that treated the Xiongnu, who Ming was struggling with, almost like younger siblings, and if even one Japanese bastard landed on the island country, they would invade the Japanese mainland and turn it into a wasteland.

 

 

But that Goryeo was quiet.

 

 

Then…looking at history, wouldn’t it be time for them to invade now?

Maybe they sent them on reconnaissance for that purpose.

 

 

‘Yeah. They said that woman is the Gungju, but…no matter how I look at it, the superior is that man. Is he a Goryeo general?’

 

 

He didn’t look muscular, but it’s okay if I think of him as a martial artist who handles internal energy. I heard that Goryeo often promotes martial artists to government positions.

 

 

‘Maybe he’s actually from Hae Dong Sword Sect.’

 

Hostility lingered in her eyes.

As a daughter of the Namgoong family, Hae Dong Sword Sect is an enemy. I can’t forgive them.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

.

After a simple meal, Yoo-i quietly called out to So-hong, who was trying to talk more with Yoo-eun.

 

 

“…Team leader-nim, what’s wrong?”

 

 

She doesn’t seem to be in a good mood.

She looks like she’s about to commit an act of insubordination if you touch her. Her eyes are very sharp.

 

 

‘She’s completely fallen for him.’

 

 

Yoo-i sighed and took her into the room.

And just in case, she gestured to talk with telepathy, then suddenly went in.

 

-Hong-mae, do you admire Yoo-eun Gongja?

-Yes, yes?? Wh, what suddenly!

 

 

So-hong was startled and jumped up.

Her face is already bright red.

 

Namgoong Yoo-i, who was watching her with a complicated expression, pursed her lips.

I have to say it, but it’s not easy to say.

It’s going to be a big shock….

 

 

Although it’s only been a few months, she’s still my team member. If she experiences something sad, shouldn’t the team leader also be sad?

 

 

But for the sake of the greater good, I had to say it.

 

 

-It seems…those people are likely to be vanguards of Goryeo.

-…What are you talking about?

 

So-hong, who had been excited, suddenly felt down.

Yoo-i often said random things, but this was a bit much.

She immediately felt like she was falling into hell.

 

 

Yoo-i looked directly at her expression and continued to speak gently.

 

Still, as a team leader, So-hong listened to her until the end.

Soon after, she bit her lip tightly.

 

 

Yoo-i’s words were not without flaws.

Among the things she said, ‘They’ve been traveling for a month and they don’t have any money, but they look very clean’ was a question that applied equally even if they were vanguards of Goryeo.

 

Nevertheless, she couldn’t rule out the possibility that they were vanguards of Goryeo, given the timing.

 

-It’s true that it’s about time for Goryeo to come….

 

There is a saying, “The sky is high and the horses are fat.”

It means that the sky is high and the horses are fat, and this time is exactly the harvest season, and usually the Xiongnu or Greater Goryeo would invade at this time.

Of course, the Xiongnu’s purpose is just looting, and Goryeo’s purpose is conquest, so the scale is incomparable, but anyway, Goryeo’s continuous invasions were a headache for Ming to the point where a four-character idiom was created.

 

-And as Hong-mae can see, Yoo-eun is the superior of those people. The Gungju named Eun So-ryeong is probably just a shell for the mission.

-Ugh….

 

 

So-hong groaned sadly.

If that’s true, then she can’t be with Yoo-eun!

 

-Then Iㅡ,

 

 

The moment she was about to say something,

 

 

 

 

-Haaak!

 

 

 

 

A woman’s voice was heard from the next room.

 

 

“”?””

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

+++

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“What’s with the sudden noise. You startled me.”

“Well, you could say it’s a role-playing game.”

“You could have told me in advance, you motherfucker.”

 

 

With So-hong’s help, Yoo-eun’s group rented two rooms at the inn.

Yoo-eun and Eun So-ryeong used one room, and Seo-hyun, Seiko (sex toy), and one cum dumpster used one room.

 

 

Of course, Yoo-eun is planning to take Eun So-ryeong’s virginity today.

It’s a virginity he’s been keeping in front of his eyes for two months.

Eun So-ryeong had a hard time, but Yoo-eun also had a hard time.

 

 

As soon as she entered the room, she scolded Yoo-eun.

The reason is related to the Harem Palace.

 

 

Introducing herself as Gungju without consulting him, it couldn’t have gone well.

 

 

“I think we’ve been caught.”

“Maybe.”

“Idiot.”

 

 

So-ryeong, who scolded him like that, sat on the shabby bed and spread her legs to the left and right.

She was wearing a modern cheongsam, so it was sexy in itself, but when she sat down and spread her legs, one of the cheongsam’s fabrics subtly covered her crotch and fell down between her white thighs.

 

In that state, she took out a cigarette from her pocket and lit it.

 

 

“Okay, just fuck me.”
