Dok-ui took Mak-i out to do some chores. I arranged for a reformed labor force to work for him, but Doki, who realized the convenience of being an errand boy, was taken away and left. Doki, who woke up to the taste of running errands because he was afraid of the late wind, was literally ready to use the Twelve Sijin Makgi.

If you keep doing this, won’t you take me with you when we break up later? Then I leave.

I decided to think about it then and moved my body little by little inside the cabin.

“Phew.”

After recuperating for a full day, my body was almost back to its original state. It seems that Dok-ui is a doctor because the internal wound that was leaking blood from his mouth healed in just a day and a half. It is said that I will be able to have normal luck tomorrow, so I will try to have luck in earnest starting tomorrow.

When I moved my body for the first time in a while, my stiff bones loosened and I screamed.

“Senior! Are you feeling okay?”

“Ugh, it seems almost all better.”

“The bandits have already brought the wagon. It’s really fast too.”

In case there were bandits observing us from afar, we decided to just pretend to be a critically ill patient for the next three days. The black cat also seemed to feel burdened by facing Dok-ui, so he would sneak in and talk to me only when Dok-ui was not around.

“So, what is your senior’s physical condition?”

“So…I had a problem with my body that I didn’t even know about, and Dok-ui solved it. First of all, the prescription is over as a temporary measure, and I think I will have to study my body with Dok-ui for a while.”

“Hmm… So you decided to help Yeo Il-ye as well?”

“Well, there’s nothing bad about it, right?”

“No, senior, don’t you know that Yeo Il-ye throws a mug bowl whenever she sees a ronin?”

“An opponent who even gave you a silver medal? In addition, he cooperated in front of Golden Street. He even gave me his beloved sword, so I guess I can help him to this extent. Also, if you are an expert of Yeo-il-ye level, there is no harm in becoming friends with you.”

“No…hehe…that’s true.”

The black cat patted its wide chest in frustration and continued speaking.

“Senior. First, let’s look at the problem at hand. Gaewangchae in Hyeongguisan Mountain right now! There are as many as two Chojeoljeong masters in that Gaewangchae! As such, the remaining bandit forces may be unsightly, but their numbers cannot be ignored.”

This is kind of surprising. The person who is so desperate to get something to eat by stealing is not even a creditor, but is doing it as a second-in-command. When the peak has reached its peak, it is normal to split the house immediately.

“No matter how much Yeo Il-ye is a disciple of the fortune-telling school, she cannot deal with two supreme masters and all sorts of bandits.”

“Well, it’s definitely unexpected.”

“Unless Dok-ui helps, it is difficult for Yeo Il-ye to deal with Gae Wang-chae alone. This wasn’t something to be handled with such a light heart.”

I understood Black Cat’s argument. Yes, in fact, they were worried that sparks would fly since Sanchae and Yeo Il-ye, who are two supreme masters and have a lot of subordinates, are going to have a fight.

“But that’s okay.”

“What is it? Are you saying that your senior will come up with a plan to solve the current situation?”

“No, that’s not it…Yeo Il-ye can handle at least one Gaewangchae by herself.”

“What?”

The black cat asked back as if he was dumbfounded.

“No, there must be peaks among many top-notch experts, so does it make sense that you can handle two mountain vegetables with transcendent peaks all by yourself? Yeo Il-ye is now at the beginning of her peak!”

“Yes, that is correct. Still, it is possible.”

Yeo Il-ye is not just a transcendent expert.

It is a transcendental level with transcendental level characteristics and abilities.

“Are you feeling well? Silver ball.”

“Thanks to your concern, I feel much better.”

Yeo Il-ye and Ho Cheon-an took off their cotton and bamboo robe and faced each other for the first time. Yeo Il-ye thought while looking at Ho Cheon-an. A person who really doesn’t know what’s going on.

An immeasurable super expert who uses the Twelve Flying Dragon Swords and a mystic with a story. That was the Hocheon plan that Yeo Il-ye had been thinking about.

Even in Golden Street, he showed dexterity by clearly deceiving Yeo Il-ye, Heuk Myo, and Tang Do-gyeong. When we met at the entrance to Mt. Hyeonggui, he said he was a second-class warrior and showed off his appearance by subduing and capturing a first-class warrior without a single wound.

Until yesterday, when she defended Ho Cheon-an, Yeo Il-ye firmly believed that Ho Cheon-an was an absolute master whose identity was hidden.

However, the appearance of the Hocheonan shown when taking the elixir yesterday was truly that of a second-rate warrior. Reactions depending on the level of the elixir consumed. And he suffered internal injuries due to his lack of ability to control his energy. Clear evidence that Yeo Il-ye was truly second-rate was unfolding before her eyes.

After that, Yeo Il-ye’s mind was filled with doubts about Ho Cheon-an.

Was using the Twelve Flying Dragon Swords a trick? Even if that is the case with the Flying Dragon Twelve Swords, how did they pass on enlightenment?

‘I don’t know his identity, but it doesn’t change that he is a benefactor.’

“First of all, there was something I always wanted to say to my benefactor. Firstly, I wanted to apologize for attempting to take her life, and secondly, I wanted to thank her for giving enlightenment to this lady.”

“Aren’t those dots already replaced with silver won cards?”

“But I’m not sure if the silver plaque really helped the benefactor.”

The reason Yeo Il-ye publicly presented the silver medal was because she judged that it would be most helpful to Ho Cheon-an. Yeo Il-ye, who considered Ho Cheon-an an absolute expert, decided that what Ho Cheon-an needed most was influence in Yangji.

What use would the help of a supreme expert be to Ho Cheon-an, a master so ardent that he throws away the principles of martial arts upon sight? Therefore, he publicly handed over the Silver Won Plaque so that he could borrow the reputation and authority of ‘Jeomchangpa Disciple Huye Shishi Yeo Il Ye’.

‘I think handing over the silver plaque at the guesthouse may have put the benefactor in trouble.’

“I’m just worried that you may have experienced trouble because of me.”

“It’s okay. I will replace it with the one that suits the rock on the rock in front of the golden house.”

At those words, Yeo Il-ye smiled and put her hand in her arms. It was a slip worth five gold coins.

“ Now that I think about it, how could I have come all the way to Mt. Hyeong-gwi to deliver this? ”

Ho Cheon-an accepted the voucher and smiled, and Yeo Il-ye also laughed when he saw that. What kind of relationship should I attribute this to? He gave enlightenment to a person he met in a back alley and was trying to kill him, and in front of Golden Street, he dragged someone who was trying to help him into a barracks and stole his beloved sword. I descended Mt. Hyeonggui, prepared to have my identity discovered by the enemy, but the situation was already over.

Then, thanks to Ho Cheon-an, he was given the opportunity to express his opinion to Dok-ui, and he was able to lure Mak Yeo-ju through a plan planned by Ho Cheon-an. It was a relationship that was truly indescribable.

“Yes. You have let go of your hatred for ronin.”

“Yes. When I was young, my mountain cabin burned down and I hated the world.”

Yeo Il-ye calmly confessed her feelings at that time. A time when it was just burning.

“Thanks to the teachings of the recluse, I learned how to live without hating the world, but the pain in my heart did not go away and I hated the ronin. The topic given by the benefactor helped me break free from the bondage of hatred that this woman harbored. .”

“Only after I escaped from the blinding flame of hatred did I realize that there was truly an enemy who had harmed the lodge. From now on, shouldn’t we appease the vengeful spirits of our wronged family members so that we can go to the afterlife and see them with our faces raised?”

Yeo Il-ye said with a bitter smile.

“You asked whether you still have any hatred toward ronin. To be honest, it still is. In any case, they would have entered the mountain lodge through any disguise, and they intellectually understand that the disguise of being a ronin is just a means they chose.”

“But…but. If the people called ronin in the world were closer to charlatans, wouldn’t they have kept the rogues alive for a more realistic camouflage? If people had shown a good side of themselves so that people could evaluate them more positively, wouldn’t they have raised more suspicions about the leisure mountain lodge and dug into it? I can’t shake those thoughts.”

Yeo Il-ye looked at Ho Cheon-an’s frozen expression and gave a long look.

“Sorry. Silver ball. I apologize for speaking negatively about the means of making a living.”

“No. Thank you for being honest.”

For a moment, there was silence in the cabin.

“Eun Gong, do you have any intention of using my Eun Won Plaque?”

“So far, we haven’t decided on a specific use.”

“When I catch the truth about Hyeong-gwi-san… the true nature of my enemy will be revealed. Even if Makyeo is not my enemy, I will find out how he obtained the Seven Jewels of Jade… I must now go to avenge my family.”

“The moment the identity of my enemy is confirmed, this woman wants to inform the clan of revenge and receive a blood bond. It’s just my guess, but I think the lodge’s enemies will be difficult opponents. I have no intention of throwing away my life easily, but I may fail in my revenge.”

“How can you say that?”

“As long as this woman’s life is at stake, even if she is seeking revenge, she will give priority to the benefactor’s silver trophies… Please take that into consideration. If you have decided on how to use the silver medal, please send a letter to Jeomchang. We will rush to you as soon as we confirm.”

Ho Cheon-an nodded.

“W I understand what Sojeo means. I will think carefully.”

“Thank you for your understanding.”

The first conversation we had together.

Yeo Il-ye was able to sort out her feelings about Hao Tian-an, and Ho Tian-an was also able to understand a little about Yeo Il-ye.

“Oh my! Oh my!”

“Hehe. Why does a guy called Ilryu cry just because he carries that much of a burden?”

A commotion coming from outside.

“It looks like Dok-ui has returned.”

“Hmm. See you next day.”

Makgi packed Dok-ui’s things and put them in the cabin, and Dok-ui hurried to get ready to move. Yeo Il-ye pulled out her beloved sword and cleaned it. Ho Tian-an was thinking about his martial path to becoming a first-class player, and Black Cat was repeating what Ho Tian-an had told him.

So, we each spend our own time together.

The morning of the day we had to leave Hyeongguisan Mountain dawned.
