*** ***

The Tang family and Sichuan people do not have much in common. Sichuan Province was an area that the Tang family did not pay attention to, and the Sichuan ronin used to solve more than 90% of requests within Sichuan Province. External requests required a ronin, not a [Sacheon ronin], and there were many such ronin outside of Sichuan Province.

Even though they are in the same Sacheon, they are like cows and chickens.

“[That ronin] won the bet with Dan Do-kyung?”

“No, wasn’t that brother incapable of gambling?”

“I also heard that people get robbed and robbed inside the guesthouse, so they gamble outside.”

“Yes, I have been caught using clumsy techniques more than once.”

I can hear it all, kids.

To protect my anonymity from Dang Do-gyeong, I said he was the ronin, but in reality, he was referring to me. But what the ronin people were whispering about was true. In the early days when I was learning gambling skills, I also trained at this roningaekjan. Basically, even if you are not good at roningaekjan, you start from second-rate, first-class is the mainstream, and there are quite a few experts.

Transcendence? If you’ve reached that level, why are you a ronin? All the rogues who have reached the peak stage take off their black lips and leave.

Anyway, although they are rogues with no gambling skills, they are basically martial arts people, so among those who could train as beginners, they tended to give a lot of skill level.

At that time, I was truly a novice in gambling, so I was caught more than once while playing tricks with rogues. Nevertheless, the reason I was able to get over it without much fuss was because I ended up losing all my stake.

The fact that Ho Cheon-an was a well-liked figure among ronin people may have had a great influence on those times. If you only gambled, if you saw a vending machine pouring money out right in front of your eyes, showing off your tricks and acting funny, you would naturally be seen as a pushover, or rather, as a person.

As gambling skills reached a certain level, it became necessary to gamble with professional gamblers, and naturally people began to go to outdoor gambling halls. However, from the point of view of gamblers, it would be natural to think, ‘I can’t afford to lose, so I’m going outside.’

It was normal for the Sichuan people to have no idea about the identity of the god Hocheonan.

I thought it would be nice if the Ronin would just shut up.

This was because the cross blood vessels on my forehead were dilating in real time while listening to the conversation of the Ronin people. How upset must Jindang Do-gyeong be when he hears that the person he robbed is a bigot?

It would already be a shame to be robbed by a second-rate ronin.

Countless whispers of ronin pouring over it!

“Keuhm, well, even if you are from a party family, you may not be able to gamble.”

“No, no matter what, losing to him is a little…”

“Even if he is your opponent, wouldn’t you still be able to lose at least one game?”

“Hmm…”

Quick!

An ominous sound was heard from one of the tops of the table where Dan Do-gyeong was resting his arms. His clenched fists were shaking, so it didn’t seem like he was usually angry.

“…So, what does the Dangdogyeong Daehyup want to do?”

Yu Yu-yeon was only halfway through at most, but it seemed like half of her vitality had gone out. Even if I were the guest, I would feel dizzy if Dang Do-gyeong turned on the light in front of me.

So I tried to tell him, but he said I was guilty because I was trying to get annoyed.

I was now secretly hiding among the people. It was good luck. If Dang Do-gyeong had come in while sitting at the same table as Black Cat, he would have been caught right away. As soon as I saw Dang Do-gyeong, who was arguing with Yu Yu-yeon, I hid in the tent of the ronin and listened to their conversation.

“I’m looking for the ronin who took the blood jade monument from me. That person who was with Sojeo yesterday.”

“The principle of anonymity is fundamental for Sacheon nangin, and if you carelessly step into this nangin guesthouse unless you are an official, it will in itself damage the anonymity of the nangin. But, as if coming into this ronin’s guesthouse isn’t enough, you’re telling me to find a ronin and invite him/her?”

Yoo Yu-yeon looked at Dang Do-gyeong with quite a fierce spirit.

“Although I am a small business owner who runs a humble inn, I have my own sense of pride and pride. I think the Daehyup needs to respect that a little more.”

“Of course. This Tang Dao-gyeong, I will never, on behalf of the Tang family, reveal what I saw when I entered this guesthouse.”

Yu Yu-yeon was unable to refute Dang Do-gyeong’s words about his surname. Although he was a bit crazy about fighting to begin with, he was basically a manly man. If the topic of fighting is brought up, people will turn away and it will be a problem. Other than that, there is nothing wrong with the character of Dang Do-kyung.

“I understand the guests’ concerns. I didn’t come here to force you to return the blood jade monument.”

“..Then what do you want?”

Dang Do-gyeong’s eyes widened as he saw Yu Yu-yeon starting to listen to the story.

“ I’m the kind of person who can’t sleep when I lose.”

Yes, everyone in Sacheon knows that.

“That’s why I got the nickname ‘fighting dog’. Because if I lost, I tried again and again without hesitation. However, I have lived my life upholding the good of being a member of a political faction. It’s a cause.”

That’s an honest admission.

A person of Tang Do-gyeong’s level would be someone who could get through to people even if he was rude to me and forced me to do it the moment he lost. For example, forcibly taking away the Blood Jade Monument or saying that it was a plan between the three of them.

There was at least half of the justification. Anyway, he may be criticized for being a rogue who practices witchcraft and is a force, but most people will say, ‘No, in such a situation, the treasure of the Blood Jade Monument is taken away?’ One would have thought, ‘The country also acts like the leader of the party.’

However, Tang Dao-gyeong was so angry that he just walked away even though his eyes were bloodshot.

And when Yeo Il-ye and Black Cat were fighting in front of the Golden House, he intervened but did not attack. If, as a guest of Golden Street, he had insisted that he could not forgive those who were making a fuss in front of Golden Street, it might have been an illegal act.

He is a true partisan person who is on a different level from people like Kang Jun, who are only partisan people.

widely!

Tang Dao-gyeong took out a piece of paper and placed it on it.

“A voucher worth 100 gold nyang. I came here to make another bet with that guy and get my blood jade money back rightfully!”

“….”

“As a member of my Tang family, I am more interested in the recommended angles than in the dark techniques, so I also admit that my eye power techniques are inferior to those of a Tang family of my level. However, I am also a member of the Tang family, and when it comes to cancer technology, I am the best family in the world!

Eye power is inseparable from cancer technology! I will win my rematch with him and restore my honor as a member of the Tang family! I swear here that I will not use any external pressure or violence in the process!”

“Hmm…”

“It’s really worth it. It is a spirit that can be called a political faction.”

You crazy bastards, what are you agreeing to now? Doesn’t he know what he’s talking about? Isn’t this a declaration that you are disdaining me, your colleague?

I was so frustrated that I wanted to scream, but when Dang Do-gyeong caught me right away, I just beat my chest in secret.

However, for the people of Sacheonang, the proud appearance of Dangdo-gyeong seemed to be quite inspirational.

There are countless people in Sichuan Province who call themselves political factions, but those who call themselves political factions are people who play tricks, extort false victories, and act as charlatans.

If you are a Sichuan person, you cannot help but feel a deep resentment toward the Jeongpa people.

So, I can understand why you would be impressed by the image of Tang Do-gyeong, a manly man who invades enemy territory and confidently announces his aspirations.

What kind of guy are you just now? The bastard who left me behind.

When I turned around and glared, Yeo Jin-sang and Jeong-sam were not leaving and their eyes widened as if asking what they were doing.

‘Did you guys turn around? Are you pushing your classmates, etc.?’

‘Why aren’t you going out?’

‘Are you unimpressed even after hearing such cowardly words?’

Because we clashed and interacted here and there for 7 years, we could read our emotions at a glance. I can’t believe I thought of these kids as my classmates. They are idiots who have never helped anyone in their life.

“What kind of situation is this?”

In the meantime, a familiar yet cool woman’s voice was heard.

“Yeoilye…!”

“Here again..!”

“I am not interested in you guys. I just came to comply with the outcome of the bet.”

The ronins parted like the ebb and flow, and Yeo Il-ye frowned as she looked at Dang Do-gyeong and Yu Yu-yeon.

“Were you here too?”

“…You came too.”

Yeo Il-ye’s eyes narrowed.

“Could it be that you came because of Hyeok-bi’s work?”

“Don’t misunderstand. I just came here to ask for a fair fight.”

The snowball fight between Yeo Il-ye and Dang Do-gyeong continued for a while. Yu Yu-yeon’s complexion had long since turned pale, and her expression looked like she was on the verge of fainting. A fight between Yeo Il-ye and Dang Do-gyeong takes place here? If a battle between transcendents takes place inside a guesthouse, the guesthouse will literally be devastated.

“Guest of the house, are you Yusa-yeon?”

“Yes…I am Yoo Yu-yeon..”

Yeo Il-ye tilted her head at Yoo Yu-yeon’s confused voice and held out a sword wrapped in cloth.

“This is something I promised yesterday. I would like you to pass this on to the owner.”

Oh, is it so complicated?

“Phew.”

I was planning to receive money in exchange for Yeo Il-ye’s sword through Yu Yu-yeon. Well, it’s about 5 nyang gold, just enough to get away with it. Since she already has the silver medal anyway, there is no point in ripping off anything more from Yeo Il-ye. A silver medal is essentially the same as a blank check.

Yeo Il-ye’s sword may also be a bit expensive, but it is better for me to just return the sword for free rather than losing my beloved sword and lowering Yeo Il-ye’s power.

Yeo Il-ye is a person who we don’t know where or how we will meet if she leaves now. In the first place, it is unknown whether he will ever set foot in Sacheon Province again. But if I send you away now, how will I return that sword?

Above all, if you receive the sword from Yeo Il-ye, your reputation will increase again.

I’m really dizzy.

“How about replacing that sword with this much money?”

So, I had no choice but to step into the scene where Dang Do-gyeong was wide-eyed.

*** ***

“I lost.”

Tang Do-gyeong looked at me with wide eyes and held out a slip.

The Yabawi match that lasted for one hour has come to an end.

Of course, Tang Dao-gyeong was completely defeated.

I tried to lose on purpose. Although I could fool Tang Dao-gyeong by gambling, hiding the fact that I did not do my best was another problem.

“Are you insulting me!!!”

He said, “I caught him like a ghost, but if I tried one more time, he was going to kill me, so I had no choice but to do my best.”

After hanging out for an hour, I realized what kind of person Tang Do-kyung was.

That man doesn’t just want a simple victory. I want to fight and win.

So, you beat me by chance. He is a truly crazy man who does not admit to actions such as achieving victory even if his capabilities are lacking.

Even if I succeeded in deliberately defeating him, it was obvious that he would come after me until his strategy surpassed my foolishness.

This is my friend. Are you saying something like that can’t happen? uh? I’m a god and I can’t lose to you, really.

“Even if you are a Sichuan ronin, you probably have a routine, so I will come to Jinsi tomorrow. If you run away, I will follow you even to the end of hell.”

I handed out the slip again with a frown on my face. If you receive this, your reputation will increase as if you received 100 gold coins.

“That is the price of today’s confrontation.”

“Then the Daehyup is admitting defeat?”

“I admit defeat today.”

“No, he asked me if I would admit defeat.”

Tang Dao-gyeong did not answer. Since I am training my techniques every day and think that I am an opponent who will beat me someday, of course I cannot come up with an answer.

“Then I will accept this money after you admit defeat to me.”

“Ha….”

Dang Do-gyeong looked at me.

“Hahahahahahaha!!!”

I started laughing like crazy.

What’s wrong with this guy?

During one visit, he used eye techniques so hard that it strained his eyes, so he glared at me with bloodshot eyes and burst out laughing like crazy. It was so scary.

“I thought he was just a swindler and a swindler! There was such a strong spirit of cooperation within it! I realized this in a big way today!”

“No…”

“There was no way that a person who could use a second-rate body to deceive the supreme master of the Tang Dynasty by performing a divine skill could not have been a minor or a minor! I guess I made a mistake.”

“I’m not that great of a person…”

“Humility! However, it is said that ceremonial rites are proportional! hahahahahahahaha! I’m looking forward to tomorrow’s showdown! Wahahahahaha!!”

He smiled arrogantly and left.

“Ha…”

I feel like I was caught in a storm and barely survived. I was exhausted both physically and mentally, so I was lounging on the chair, and the Ronins slowly crawled out again.

“No, Ho, when did you become so good at roughing it?”

“Humans are evolving creatures. After becoming a ronin, I continued to gamble for several years, but of course it only increased. If you do something like that, it will increase.”

“For all that, Ho-hyung’s martial arts skills have improved…”

“What kind of child are you?”

I wanted to hunt down the child who was using factual violence, but it was a crime to have a second-class level. With second-class hearing, it was impossible to pinpoint which of the rogues surrounding it came from which snout.

If I had been first-class, I would have been able to catch the guy who slandered me by saying I was second-class!

No, if it had been top-notch, there would have been no slander in the first place.

“Oh…”

Even though I was in a position where I would have to meet Tang Dao-gyeong every day from now on, I somehow made the best choice when it came to managing my reputation.

Now that the gamble of 100 nyang of gold versus the blood jade rain is in progress, the increase in reputation that I gained by winning the blood jade rain will probably stop to some extent. Reputation value ultimately reflects people’s perception of the situation in some way.

The rumor that ‘a Sichuan ronin won the blood jade monument from Tang Do-gyeong!’ will now turn into a rumor that says, ‘a certain ronin is fighting with Tang Do-gyeong for the blood jade monument!’

All the reputation points that have increased just because I won the Blood Jade Monument will not disappear, but it is a much better situation than if a rumor spreads just because I won the Blood Jade Monument.

I was thinking of giving up on managing my reputation to break the trap, but that was because I was prepared to give up on managing my reputation in order to get a clue, not that I was just going to increase my reputation through ignorance.

I couldn’t stand by and watch my reputation level rise in a situation that had nothing to do with my advancement.

Measures.

We had to come up with a plan to deal with Tang Do-gyeong.
