Humans are creatures that do something called learning.

I am also human and I have learned.

The family motto of the Tang family. [Return favors twice and resentments tenfold].

It can be said to be a truly impressive family motto, so let’s look back on it. Why on earth was this phrase designated as a family motto?

Tang Dao-gyeong traveled all over Sichuan just to perfect one martial art.

Dang Do-yeon locked the guest of the house in the carriage and drove down the hill at top speed.

What about Dang Gwang-ryeol? Their eyes often sparkled with admiration at my lecture that lasted for a week. During breaks, I would sometimes touch my forehead and look at my black lips.

To be precise, he was aiming for the desirable forehead hidden behind my black lips.

The more I met and experienced people from the Tang family, the more I felt it.

Ah, these bastards are just grudges, grudges, naivety, and people who do whatever they want!

So, by establishing such a family motto, we are emphasizing the concepts of grace and grudges!

Hey, look at the eyes of the matriarch Dang Gwang-ryeol.

I taught him gambling techniques without hesitation for a week, and thanks to that, he won. And the matriarch herself clearly understands that fact.

Is that it? When Dang Do-gyeong showed signs of controlling the stakes, he even admitted with his own mouth that he was addicted to gambling.

In addition, he even personally expressed his gratitude.

Still, his eyes are unusual.

Even though I am congratulating him on his victory, Dang Gwang-ryeol’s eyes are only looking at one place.

forehead!

Eyes aimed precisely at my forehead! The forehead is in a defensive posture by raising the eyebrows as hard as possible and creating wrinkles! Even if he was beaten for a long time, he was clearly determined to hit even a single blow.

Dang Gwang-ryeol was also a member of the Tang clan, and those from the Tang clan were people who had to do what they wanted to do.

The eyes are crazy because they want to hit Eunhye, Nabal, and Takbam!

Let’s say you give the head of the house a nice slap.

What does Dang Gwang-ryeol, who is aiming at Takbam, think? It’s a pity that I received only one blow after being hit ten times. Should I hit it a little harder? Yes, even though he is a second-rate ronin, he should be able to withstand a little bit of inner strength.

Yes, I got hit as many as thirteen times, but one hit was a bit hard.

In a situation where Tang Gwang-ryeol wants just one item so desperately, can he strike Takbam while considering his life? I don’t think so.

You believe in people from the party? Do you believe in Dang Gwang-ryeol’s self-control? I would rather change my temper than trust someone from the party.

If I believe the people of the Tang family, it is not Hocheonan but Nyangcheonan.

It seemed like Dang Gwang-ryeol was going to challenge me to a Takbam match, so I opened my mouth in a hurry.

“The head of the family has not finished everything yet.”

As I said before, learning about people is something I, too, have been victimized by party members, so I have prepared countermeasures.

“…Teacher?”

Dang Gwang-ryeol looked perplexed at my words.

I looked at Dang Gwang-ryeol with the most proud look in my eyes. I must have gained confidence from my battle with Dang Do-gyeong. It wouldn’t be strange if he asked me to gamble while he was away.

I slowly moved with my back to the gambling table. Not only Dang Gwang-ryeol’s questioning gaze, but also the gazes of Daeju Pung Yeong and Dang Do-gyeong followed suit.

This body Hocheonan. Sacheon Nangin is a director with 7 years of experience.

Although he specializes in villain roles, he is also capable of directing other characters.

Today, I am ‘a teacher who rejoices with his students’ accomplishments but gently points out things they missed.’

A gentle smile and leisurely gait. However, the entire body and hand gestures are filled with certainty and confidence.

Dang Gwang-ryeol’s eyes showed as much doubt as determination in my actions.

“You have to finish it.”

On the gambling board where I gently placed my hand, there were memorized cards that Dang Gwang-ryeol had chosen today.

“Hmm…of course, it is urgent to return the memorization to immediate superiors. But first…”

“You’re giving memorization ‘back’? Huh… matriarch.”

When I spoke in a reproachful tone, Dang Gwang-ryeol also stopped.

“As an outsider, I am cautious about discussing the laws of the Tang family, but just as the head of the family gave memorization to my brother, are you going to just pass it on to other members of the Tang family?”

“Shouldn’t we do that? Of course, discipline must be given.”

I asked back without wiping my smile? It’s like a teacher throwing a hot topic at a student in the hope that he or she will find the right answer.

“Are you sure you want to do that? The matriarch worked hard to retrieve the memorization from Do-kyung through gambling.”

Dang Gwang-ryeol laughed bitterly at my words.

“Hehe, are you saying that memorization should be distributed through gambling? There’s no guarantee that those kids can win… Most of the immediate kids are serious about competing with Do-kyung. There is probably no memorization that cannot be wagered with stakes.”

“Yes. Hey Ronin. Since most of them do not even have any memorization left for memorization training, the direct lineages are gathered outside this Gajujeon.”

Great Lord Feng Yeong added his words.

“The head of the family. What did the head of the family request from me?”

“It was…a request to teach me how to gamble.”

“Yes. But wasn’t the request to teach gambling really the problem that the head of the party wanted to solve? Beating Do-kyung at gambling was only the first problem.”

“…hehe.”

It seems that Dang Gwang-ryeol still has no idea what I am talking about.

Yes, your mind is probably filled with thoughts of having a battle with me, so how can my story be heard?

“Isn’t Yabawi a gamble that anyone can win if they are lucky?”

Dang Gwang-ryeol nodded while staring at me with an expression that was still unclear.

“With luck and stakes, it is possible for anyone to win.”

“Hehe, that’s right. Hey teacher…I am…”

He was probably trying to say, ‘What on earth do you want to say?’ I quickly cut him off before the words came out.

“The head of the family said that ‘discipline’ is needed for direct descendants. I somehow feel like I showed you the means on the first day.”

I curled my fingers and made a circle. Tang Dao-gyeong looked at me with an expression of ‘What is that?’, but Tang Guang-ryeol and Feng Yong-daeju’s eyes widened.

“…Ha…Haha…”

Dang Gwang-ryeol burst into laughter.

“Hahahahahahaha!”

Dang Gwang-ryeol is one of the best masters in martial arts and is also the head of the Dang family. But getting hit on the forehead? Of course, I have no choice but to keep it in mind.

No, if you go and sleep and it’s the night before, of course you’ll be upset.

But who am I to let go of Takbam? What did you do for me? This body Hocheonan. The person who instilled the essence of gambling in me for a week. Thanks to that, he won a brilliant victory over Dang Do-gyeong, improved his gambling skills, and even recovered all his memorization.

Dang Gwang-ryeol may have wanted to leave me alone, but he knew very well that it would be shameless to do so.

So, I couldn’t say anything at once and just glared.

“It may be shameful, but I asked Great Lord Poongyeong to gather all the immediate descendants who said they were harmed.”

“That’s right! Anyway, the rumor spread, and the immediate descendants who had lost their memorization were gathering at Gajujeon, and Yaronin asked for it. Please gather all the direct relatives who have been affected…!”

Did I realize my big picture? Lord Feng Ying spoke in an angry tone and looked at me with awe in his eyes.

“How far ahead did you see…!”

okay. If you want to hit Takbam, you have to hit him.

So I collected it.

The victims that Dang Gwang-ryeol has a justification for beating Takbam without any remorse.

“Whahahahahaha! okay! Hey, what the teacher said is right! What you lose through gambling must be returned through gambling! And even discipline me! Hahahahaha!”

The head of the family bets on memorization, and the direct lineage gambles at night. The immediate family receives a harsh life lesson from the dead of night and memorizes it while rubbing their forehead.

Rather than feeling remorse while thinking about benefactors, I would like to give it to those who deserve it… no, I teach them a lesson.

Grudge against me?

No, there was no resentment in the first place! It was just a misunderstanding!

I am the gambling teacher who designed this part and delivered Takbam to the head of the family as a means to set things straight.

Everything was an action and advice for the head of the family.

It was merely a means of physical therapy and a message that predicted the current situation.

Now that I’ve realized that I never meant to put a chestnut on Dang Gaju’s forehead and think, ‘Oh, that was fun,’ all the resentment I harbored will fade away.

As if my prediction was correct, Dang Gwang-ryeol’s eyes were clear and bright as he stared at me while bursting into laughter. Looking at his eyes that showed no trace of resentment, I gave him one last satisfied look and smile and then pulled down my black lips.

“Great Lord of Fungyeong!”

“Yes, matriarch!”

“Bring all the immediate descendants gathered outside Gajujeon inside!”

“Honorable name!”

I tapped Dang Do-gyeong’s shoulder, who was looking puzzled because I couldn’t understand the situation.

“Do-kyung, let’s leave. It looks like the head of the family and the Great Lord Poongyeong are a bit busy.”

“Hmm… I’m not sure what happened, but I feel like things are going well.”

Dang Do-gyeong smiled kindly.

“My brother, it’s been a long time since he stayed at our house, but it bothers me that I’ve never treated him well. Would it be okay for my wife to treat me to a meal today? Father, mother, and Ryeo all seemed to want to meet older brother.”

Are you sure you want to meet me? You’re not very observant.

These words rose up in my throat, but Dang Do-gyeong’s suggestion was exactly what I needed, so I smiled and nodded.

“Yes, I also wanted to have a drink with Do-kyung.”

Lastly, he held the head of the family by the black lip and bowed his head slightly. Dang Gwang-ryeol nodded to me.

“Well, I guess I got permission from the head of the family. Let’s go.”

“Hahaha! I lead the way!”

I left Gajujeon, shoulder to shoulder with Tang Do-gyeong.

I could see the direct descendants rushing into the family hall.

Now sparks or blood splatter from their foreheads.

It was a story that had nothing to do with me.
