episode_0306

After the shocking meal, I returned to my job as a doorkeeper.

I calmed down my burning face and organized the situation in my head.

Although I suffered a completely unexpected humiliation, I was able to understand the current atmosphere of Sacheon as per my original purpose.

Jeong Cheol.

Jeong Cheol gave up his apostolic training and went into hiding. The organization known as the Apostolic Association had lost much meaning, and he must have thought that it would be better to become lighter for his own purposes.

In the process, in order to weaken Sacheon, he disbanded the Apostolic Alliance and announced additional justifications. To refute that justification, the party issued a statement, and because of that statement, my story spread throughout Sichuan Province.

Could it be that this caused a repercussion in Sichuan Province?

The elements for a repercussion were already in place. The Sichuan people who became calm due to personal secret radio, and the production that was revealed by the appearance of the real Sapa, etc…

With the addition of a statement detailing my whereabouts, could it be that public opinion toward Sichuan people has begun to tilt?

Well… I guess the Ronin at the Ronin Gaekjan didn’t just sit around and play. When the water comes in, you have to row at the right time to move forward. They must have worked diligently to reach the current situation.

The reason there was such a long line in front of Ronin Gaekjan was because it had such a good track record.

They hurriedly rushed to ensure the safety of the Sichuan people, and found that they had made all the necessary preparations, including walls and shelters.

“Hmm…”

Anyway, once I figured out what was going on, my mind started to become more organized.

The situation was not at all what I expected, but it was not a good situation. In the end, the fact that the area in front of the Ronin Guesthouse was so crowded means that there were so many people who wanted to protect the Ronin… Could this mean that the activities of the political factions in Sacheon Province were reduced?

I’ll have to check this out some more.

I can’t believe I was lost in thought like that.

Also, the surrounding air began to stir.

The rags that were next to the guy who looked like a peak expert earlier came back as is. The guys’ faces were full of confidence, and it was definitely worth it this time.

“Who touched Baekho and Hogyeong’s younger brothers!”

The person they brought with them, Ho-kyung, was the best.

“That person…is the Hogyeong of the White Tiger Sect called Transcendence…!”

“They say he killed several people in Honam…!”

Upon hearing the spirit of those around them, the henchmen who had quietly folded their backs and disappeared earlier gained momentum.

“Brother! It’s him!”

Ho-kyung’s smile cracked when he saw me.

Well, I guess so.

Since they said it was Sacheonangin, I would have thought it was the peak and ran with a light heart, but I couldn’t help but be embarrassed to see Chojeoljeong standing in front of the dry goods store.

However, the boy’s stiff expression gradually softened.

The reason was also simple.

It was because I controlled my internal strength.

Right now, that person named Ho-kyung probably feels like I am half or a level lower in skill than he is.

When I was learning how to strengthen my hearing and how to control my internal power, I honestly thought it was a waste of time, but they are quite useful.

As expected, the unknown elder had his own thoughts.

As I was secretly admiring the usefulness of the catching technique, the guy opened his mouth.

“It’s amazing. I’ve never heard of a talented person like you among the Sichuan people.”

“If it’s the best, I’ll be living in my hometown by beating the butts of your subordinates. Why did you come all the way to Sacheon just to have something to eat?”

“How dare he!”

To show their loyalty, the subordinates drew their swords and pretended to rush at him, but he stopped them and said,

“Hehe, there’s no need to say much. I have business to do at this store today, so get out of the way.”

“What if you don’t like it?”

“Are you going to give up Gwinju and drink Beolju?”

The guy exclaimed and placed his hand on the handle of the sword. I thought while watching his reaction. In the end, it seemed that top experts were starting to come to Sacheon Province one by one.

Justification.

In Moorim, nothing is more important than a cause. This is because if you do not keep this cause, you will not be able to receive the protection of the cause when a warrior of a higher level targets you.

In that sense, Chojeoljeong can only survive if it upholds its cause well.

The position of Chojeongjeong can be seen as a top rank among the very few in the entire martial arts world, but there are definitely Hwagyeong masters above Chojeongjeong.

Normally, you may be powerless to ignore justification and do foolish things, but if you do such foolish things without justification, you could have your head ripped off by a Hwa-gyeong expert you may meet someday.

That is why the top practitioners of Sapa have a strong tendency to follow the trend with a clear justification.

They follow the trend because they like what they say, but it is burdensome to hunt desirable prey directly and they want to eat meat, so they act like hyenas.

The first justification Jeong Cheol raised, revenge, was not enough to move the supreme leaders of the Sa Sect, but the second justification he raised, of disrupting the law of non-aggression against government affairs, seems to have been enough to move the supreme masters of the Sa Sect.

After returning to Sichuan Province, my confused mind began to clear up little by little due to a series of completely unexpected situations.

The elderly people were living better than I expected and the public sentiment among Sichuan people was friendly, but that did not mean that there were no problems in Sichuan Province.

Lake view before my eyes.

This is because top experts of the Sa Sect, like the author, were flocking to Sichuan Province.

In this vast province of Sichuan, there are at most two top experts.

It will be difficult to block the extreme experts who are flocking to just the two gates of Sichuan Province.

As soon as I thought about it, it became clear what I had to do.

The extermination of the supreme experts who are targeting Sichuan Province.

You kill two birds with one stone by gaining practical experience and securing the safety of Sichuan Province.

“No matter what you say, it’s work and I have no intention of getting out of the way. So that you know.”

But today wasn’t the day.

Today’s request was to protect the dry goods store.

“Hahahaha! Are you even scared!”

“Of course, in front of my brother’s majesty, it’s no use calling me a Sichuan ronin!”

The henchmen scratched my nerves, but I picked my ears calmly. Although the henchmen were trying hard in their own way, honestly, I heard countless instances of swearing and provocation while making a living doing the Sicheonang thing.

I don’t know if these cheap provocations work from the outside, but it would take 100 years of training to make Sichuan Ronin angry.

“Go drink more of mom’s milk!”

“He has no balls!”

Aren’t you guys so conscienceless? How can you move people’s emotions with such poor swear words? Ah, tsk tsk, these days, they never even think about doing something called “no effort.”

When you think like that in your mind.

Things started to turn a little strange.

“Hey, those idiots…!”

“If Sacheon Ronin had not been receiving requests, these beggars who would have already gone out are talking too much!”

“I saw you running away just now!”

“I saw it too! These lousy bastards!”

Aren’t the crowds that have nothing to do with me getting angry at the provocations the henchmen are throwing at me and attacking the henchmen?

Suddenly, ridicule and jeers poured out towards the Sapa group!

The faces of the henchmen who had run away with the peak masters who had passed out without being able to do anything in the morning became red. As the surrounding atmosphere became unusual, Mr. Ho’s face hardened.

I also stopped picking my ears and pulled up my Gyeongun Musimgong so that I could go out at any time.

“…The people of Sichuan Province don’t know how scary drones are.”

The sound of people criticizing Mr. Ho and his group died out instantly due to the heavy heating.

Live!

This was because the crowd was overwhelmed by the vitality exuded by the supreme master.

“There are people who have to see blood to come to their senses. Today I will have to taste the blood of the Sichuan people.”

The henchmen also became fierce and drew their weapons.

“I should set an example by cutting off some guys’ tongues! Catch me!”

“Yes!”

The henchmen’s eyes glowed menacingly and they glared at the few people who had raised their voices earlier. Looking at people hiding among the crowd with pale complexions, I sighed and opened my mouth.

“Stop.”

Although the henchmen paused for a moment, they soon gave a wry smile and tried to move again, this time accompanied by a display of skill.

“[Stop]”

My voice, imitating Yeo Il-ye’s inner strength, oppressed the entire area.

It didn’t have the transcendent power of the real Yeo Il-ye, so it wasn’t enough to completely dominate the son-in-law like the original, but my power wasn’t the type to be overlooked either, so it had a heavy flavor in its own way.

What power he lacked compared to Yeo Il-ye was made up for by releasing sutras. The complexions of the subordinates, who were immediately subdued by my strength and power, turned pale.

The henchmen secretly hid behind Hoga, and Hoga seemed satisfied that he had elicited a reaction from me, so he laughed and provoked me.

“Hehehe, why was this guy who couldn’t stand it even a little bit so arrogant?”

When I saw this guy who was nothing special making a fuss, I started to get angry.

…What’s the request? Should we start by pestering this guy?

Honestly, if it weren’t for my desire to continue the record of being number one in customer satisfaction and number one among brokers’ preferred ronin, I would have made rice cake in one go.

While I was contemplating whether to kill this guy or save him, Hoga spoke.

“I know your identity! Isn’t he Sacheon Nangin No. 28, who flew like a thunderbolt without even recognizing Jeong Cheol’s deep intention to revive Sacheon Nangin?”

Roaring! Roaring!

The crowd around began to murmur. Roughly so! It was that ronin! Somehow the inaction was unusual! The sound of words like that got stuck in my ears.

“Perhaps because the climax was just around the corner, he couldn’t tell the difference between heaven and earth and went on a rampage! Most likely, he hid like a rat for a year, pioneered the realm of transcendence, and returned to Sichuan!”

Roaring! Roaring! Roaring!

….The surrounding area became noisy. I felt a bit of a sense of crisis as I watched the crowd constantly buzzing around me.

It was a sense of crisis that these people might expand and distort the story that that Hoga bastard freely told and spread it throughout Sichuan.

“No…”

“There is no denying it! You can’t deceive the sensation of this body, which is at its peak! I’ve never heard of a Sichuan ninja who has reached the pinnacle of perfection, so you must be the twenty-eight bastard!”

“I…”

“Although it seems incredible that he has pioneered a state of transcendence, it would be a million years too early to try to fight Jeong Cheol with that level of skill! Nevertheless, since you are acting like you are the hero of Sichuan, I will let you know that there is a heaven above the heavens!”

Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz!

I sighed as I looked at the crowd buzzing like a swarm of bees. It’s already too late to correct the rumor.

I’m already sighing, wondering what kind of strange rumors will torment me starting tomorrow morning.

I looked at the powerful Hoga with disapproving eyes.

This is all because of that bastard.

I think I’ll feel better if at least that guy gives me a bowl of muksabal.

While I was holding the handle of the chamam sword with that thought in mind, the guy continued talking.

“Kkeukkeuk, it’s not bad to compete against each other in this place, but it’s not a good place.”

“…What?”

“I will apply for a secretary position from you! Twenty-eight people from Sacheon!”

The surrounding noise suddenly stopped.

and.

I can’t believe there was such a talented person in politics. He was an unusual director who could control the audience’s reaction completely. It’s a pity that directing is no longer needed for Sacheonangin’s work.

“These arrogant bastards who trusted you will have no choice but to give in if they see their hopes shattered so badly on the off stage!”

This guy was ambitious. His intention is to completely imprint his name on Sichuan Province by defeating me on the official stage.

As expected, they are quick to understand the situation and are good at improvising, unlike the rigid political faction members.

It was a time when I was so amazed.

“This guy! Do you think the Sichuan Ronin will lose to villains like you!”

“This guy is not even a fist away!”

The crowd got excited and started responding in their own way.

No, look. It’s all well and good to defend me, but why are you talking on the premise that they will accept the duties as they please?

“Hahahaha! good night! I’ll send you Bimuchup with my guest’s cup, so that day will be your birthday ancestral rite! Hahahaha!”

The guy arbitrarily decided on the dance and disappeared while bursting into laughter.

…While the crowd was hesitating about how to respond to the unprecedented situation of taking the Sichuan Ronin’s side, the matter was already over.

“Cut down that guy with a single sword!”

“No, what is a single knife! Please beat me up very well!”

“You should never be allowed to set foot in Sacheon again!”

The crowd couldn’t control their excitement and kept making demands while looking at me. To be honest, I was only just beginning to understand what was going on, and I couldn’t say I had a complete grasp of Sichuan’s atmosphere yet, so I had no idea how to deal with them.

Still, it’s a bit of a complete inaction…

After thinking about it, I silently nodded my head once.

Wow!!

“Sacheonnang, Twenty-eight Tigers, said that he would cut down the White Tiger Sect’s Hogyeong with a single sword!”

“The Twenty-Eighth declared that it would wipe out all the Four Sects in Sichuan Province!”

When did I do that, you bastards?

It was dumbfounding to see the celebrities running proudly and spreading false rumors in front of the parties, but… the situation wasn’t that bad.

If he loses to me in a battle that attracts the attention of all Sichuan people, that Hoga bastard will have no choice but to leave Sichuan.

As I stood in front of the dry goods store thinking about various things, the dry goods store also began to prepare to close.

“Thank you for your hard work. Twenty…um. Sacheonangin.”

Ok Kyung-sang bowed his head. I also lightly held my hat and said hello. I looked at the store owner who was moping around behind Okgyeongsang.

“What, what?!”

“Didn’t you have something to say? That’s the kind of expression.”

The score muttered for a moment and then burst into laughter.

“I don’t have anything bad! I think I cursed for no reason! Those Sacheon nangs have been misbehaving in front of my store several times!”

“Father!”

“Did I say something wrong! At that time, I thought it was all like that!”

I chuckled. The store owner was startled by my laughter.

“Who said what?”

“What? What..?”

“Today’s Sichuan Nangin is different from Jeongcheol. I started this thinking that people would point fingers if we all became Sichuan ronin. And it is true that he committed various gangster acts. Even I used to wear the baskets of people who were doing business.”

I thought as I looked at the store owner in front of me.

These are people who have lived their whole lives cursing the Sichuan Longin and believing that the Sichuan Longin are evil.

But what is Sichuan Province like now?

People are scrambling to hire Sichuan Longmen and defend Sichuan Longin.

It is not unreasonable to feel confused by the sudden change in reality.

“Still, don’t lose your temper at the people who came to protect my store. Because Ronin is also a human being, his motivation to work is very low. Wouldn’t a merchant know this? If possible, people flock to stores that welcome them with a smiling face or give them a bonus. In that sense, the bonus lunch my son gave me wasn’t bad.”

Ok Kyeong-sang lowered her head, and the store owner became dumb and just looked at me.

Looks like I’m done talking. The store is all closed and I can go home from work now.

That was when I turned around.

“Hmm, hmm… Would you be willing to accept a request?”

The store owner caught me.

“Well.”

I thought for a moment and said.

“I think it would be too much to smile, so I will think about it if you prepare a good bonus.”

With only those words left, I walked towards Ronin Gaekjan.

Sichuan Province returned after a long absence.

It was the first time in a long time that a request was resolved.
