*** ***

It’s already been a few days since Ho Cheon-an lay down.

“Can I place it here?”

“Yes. Please.”

Seo Mun-yeon looked at Hyeok Kirin, who was following her around and helping her with various tasks. An unconscious smile appeared on Seo Mun-yeon’s lips.

I couldn’t help but feel that it was amazing to see him trying so hard to do anything with his bright eyes.

“This bowl is right here, right?”

Seo Mun-yeon, who was happy to see the proud expression on her face as if she could do it without being told, went ahead and took care of the household chores with Hyuk Gi-rin.

As expected, as the number of people increased, many things happened.

Seo Mun-yeon, who turned her head to ask Hyuk Kirin where she put the wide bowl she used yesterday, stopped when she saw Hyuk Kirin looking at Hocheonan.

Anyone can see that there is love in Ho Cheon-an’s eyes.

Seo Mun-yeon’s heart became heavy when she looked at Ho Cheon-an and saw him nodding his head as if he was resolute.

Seo Moon-yeon liked Hyuk Kirin.

I couldn’t help but wish I had a little sister like this.

I was angry at Ho Cheon-an’s reckless actions, but when I thought about Hyuk Kirin, I was able to give enough of a fight.

It’s a shameless act of a novice, but I’m filled with anger.

It wasn’t a level that couldn’t be overcome even if the compensation was very generous.

however.

Because she liked Hyuk Kirin, Seo Mun-yeon was even more unwilling to give up Jinbeop.

If it were a normal formation, I could hand over any number of them, but the formation that Hocheonan and his group needed was by no means a general one.

Seo Mun-yeon looked at Hocheonan, which was attached to Dokgo Iseol.

It was an unpleasant person to see, but it was located in the middle of the house, so even if you didn’t want to see it, you couldn’t help but see it as you moved around the house.

“Um.”

“Hehe, why are you doing that?”

Dokgo Iseol gently grabbed Ho Cheon-an’s sleeve. And Ho Cheon-an looks embarrassed at Dokgo Iseol’s behavior.

“There’s no need to hold your sleeves, right?”

“It’s surveillance work, so it can’t be helped, right?”

Dokgo Iseol’s eyes glowed dangerously.

“I feel like I want to suppress it with my body so it won’t go anywhere.”

“…”

Seo Mun-yeon watched the two people’s love affair as if it was absurd.

Hyeok Kirin is trying hard to be helpful to Ho Cheon An, but is he actually flirting with another woman in front of such a person?

Seo Mun-yeon turned her head when she saw Ho Cheon-an avoiding Seo Mun-yeon’s gaze and Dokgo Yi-seol calmly giving him a quick glance.

It was because I was very annoyed to see a shameless person lying in someone else’s house feeling embarrassed that his love affair was discovered.

He had a great talent for changing people’s clothes.

In a soaring quarter, Seo Moon-yeon visited the workshop.

bang!

Seo Mun-yeon lit a fire in the workshop’s brazier and struck the iron. Usually, the reason Seo Mun-yeon grabbed the hammer was to make a tool to replenish the energy of gold in the battle, but today it was just to vent her anger.

Because you can’t hit someone with a hammer just because you’re angry.

‘it’s annoying!’

bang! bang!

Seo Mun-yeon, who cut down the stake instead of cutting down Ho Cheon-an, sighed when she saw the iron stake whose shape was unrecognizable.

What is this doing?

Seo Mun-yeon sat down and sighed.

I was confident that I was one of the few in the world in terms of my fighting skills, but was I just a helpless woman who could not drive out a single uninvited guest?

Seo Wen-yeon recalled Zhuge Yingming, who sent Ho Tian-an and his party here.

And at the same time, one person comes to mind.

Seo Mun-yeon’s heart throbbed. Painful memories that she had barely filed away in a corner of her mind came back and attacked Seo Mun-yeon.

This thought occurred to Seo Mun-yeon, who was trying hard not to be buried by the waves of memories.

…What makes Jinbeopsa one of the best in the world?

He was just a cocky brat who didn’t even know why taboos were taboos and thought that if it was me, or rather, just the two of us, we could overcome even taboos.

She was just a weak woman who couldn’t even manage her wounds properly.

“Ho, is this your workshop?”

It was Tang So-yeol who rescued Seo Mun-yeon from the quagmire.

Party Soyeol invades other people’s workshops without any hesitation. Seo Mun-yeon looked blankly at the Tang So-yeol.

“Do you use these things? The equipment is not very good compared to your skills.”

Tang So-yeol, who was looking at the stake shaped like a taffy stick made by a three-year-old child and the fighting tools piled up nearby, put the stake into the brazier without hesitation and stepped on the bellows.

Hwaaa!!

Seo Mun-yeon’s eyes opened wide. It was a furnace I had worked with until now, but I had never even imagined that it could produce this kind of fire power.

A stake that instantly turns bright red. And Tang So-yeol, who naturally holds a hammer and raises such a stake to the anvil.

Taaang! Taaang!

The pile, which quickly finds its own shape, falls into a bucket of water and cools down.

Cheeek!!

Seo Mun-yeon lightly placed her finger on the completed stake.

A pile with open veins, as if it were alive and breathing. A single stake made by Tang Xiaoyeol right now would be more effective than driving several piles piled up in one corner of the blacksmith shop.

“…I knew he was good with his hands since he was from a party family, but I didn’t expect it to be to this extent.”

“If you were born in a Tang family, you had to be good at either memorizing and using poison or using metal well. Well, martial arts just wasn’t my cup of tea.”

Tang So-yeol burned the tobacco in the fire and responded as if it was no big deal.

Tang So-yeol continued speaking while sucking on the tobacco.

“I’ll make you various tools, so why not give me your Jinbeop?”

“Not possible.”

Seeing Seo Mun-yeon speaking clearly, Tang So-yeol grinned.

“I am one of the best craftsmen in the world and I think it is not a bad deal, but why are you so stubbornly refusing?”

“….”

Seo Wen-yeon closed her mouth and Tang So-yeol just nodded while looking at her.

“Yes. If you change your mind, tell me at any time.”

Seo Mun-yeon, who was watching Tang Xiao-yeol leisurely leaving the workshop, fiddled with the stake that Tang Xiao-yeol had made.

Am I wrong?

Seo Mun-yeon looked at the yard through the gap in the door that Tang So-yeol had roughly closed. Ho Cheon-an was seen silently listening to Hyuk Kirin chattering.

“Haaa…”

If I explain why I can’t teach you the true method, will they just leave?

Seo Mun-yeon guessed the answer.

Probably not.

They would rush even further, saying they could do it.

Just like Seo Wen-yeon and Zhuge Yingming’s older brother, Zhuge Shengchan.

Even though there are many things in the world that are beyond imagination, and there are things whose weight you cannot know until you experience them, you will rush into them confident of success.

Seo Mun-yeon prepared dinner with a heavy heart.

Seeing this, Hyeok Kirin, who had been chattering, stood up. It was a bonus to look at Hocheonan with regretful eyes.

Seo Mun-yeon, who was looking at Hyuk Kirin like that, opened her mouth without realizing it.

“Is that person that good?”

Hyeok Kirin’s face instantly becomes bright red. Seo Mun-yeon was filled with jealousy as she looked at Ho Cheon-an rolling around behind Hyeok-gi-rin.

“The need to pass the test means that you will be hunting spiritual creatures. Is there a need to go on a dangerous spiritual hunt for a guy like that?”

“Oh, will you listen to the story?”

Seo Mun-yeon felt like it was a mistake as she saw Hyuk Kirin’s face brightening. Up until now, I had done a good job of keeping my mouth shut about the story of Ho Cheon-an and his group, but as my heart was shaken, the gap was revealed.

‘It’s Kim, my friend.’

Seo Mun-yeon thought things went well.

Because we can’t just stand against each other like this forever.

Above all, as my bond with Hyuk Kirin grew, the current situation was becoming more and more uncomfortable. A guy named Ho Cheon-an is just lounging around, but in reality, Hyeok-ki-rin and the other Sojeo are the only ones doing this because they are exhausted.

Even if the child wears out, the author, who is a brainiac, must wear it out. Why do other people worry about it?

“In order to deal with blood religion, a true strategy is necessary.”

“…What?”

Hyeok Kirin only mentioned the matter of the Moyong family, hiding the details of Hocheonan’s origins and the messenger of blood, but even to that extent, Seo Mun-yeon could not help but be surprised by the content, which was much more serious than expected.

Among the rumors about Ho Cheon-an, the brain swordsman, there was also a suspicion that he had become stronger at a suspiciously rapid rate, and Seo Mun-yeon also heard the news.

After meeting Ho Cheon-an, Seo Mun-yeon attributed Ho Cheon-an’s rapid growth to the dedication of other small authors.

Two people born with the energy of stars. There were disciples of the Tang family and the Jeomchang school. And even Hyukgi-rin, who, apart from being cute, has a noble spirit. Since these people were gathered together to take care of Ho Cheon-an, it was bound to be achieved quickly.

Therefore, Seo Mun-yeon guessed that the reason Ho Cheon-an and his party needed Jinbeop was to assist Ho Cheon-an’s achievements through hunting for spiritual creatures.

But that prediction was wrong.

Among the numerous rumors surrounding Noegeomnangin, the part that needs to be noted is also wrong.

The rumor about Seomseobunta appeared in Seo Mun-yeon’s mind.

There is a rumor that a person from the Mo Yong family fell into the magical arts of a blood religion and became a monster.

Seo Mun-yeon, who heard the rumor, was surprised that a blood cult was active, but that was all.

Although it is shocking news that a character from the Mo Yong family fell into demonic arts due to blood religion, incidents of learning demonic arts for strength occur frequently in this martial arts world.

I thought the part about people turning into monsters was an exaggeration typical of rumors.

It is rare for a person to mutate after learning magic, but it was quite possible, and it would naturally be a threat if an expert mastered magic and went berserk.

But that monster was an attempt to turn people into spirits.

And the reason they attempted to turn people into spirit creatures was because the blood religion knew how to control spirit creatures.

Seo Mun-yeon approached Ho Cheon-an with a stiff face.

“Is it true that you are intertwined with a blood cult?”

“That’s right.”

When Ho Cheon-an stood up and answered, Seo Mun-yeon’s face distorted.

“Are you sane? The opponent is thinking of confronting the blood religion, which can be said to be the end of the left path.”

“…There are circumstances.”

“Ha….yeah. There must be circumstances. There are circumstances I don’t know about, and you must have thought it through carefully and made a plan, but no matter how many times I think about it, I still can’t understand it.”

Seo Mun-yeon let out a long sigh. Yes, due to circumstances, he must have made an unsane choice to confront the blood cult.

However, it was not something that could end with just one word, “circumstances.”

“With this number of people, even their backgrounds are completely different, they are going to form a phalanx and deal with the spirit creatures of the blood religion? If you’re being targeted by a blood cult, you should have at least relied on the giant breakwater. There must be more than one sect that wants to embrace you, so why are you thinking of taking them with you? What should we do about their danger?”

No matter how great the party was, confronting the blood cult was like hitting a rock with an egg.

Not only because of the power of spiritual creatures, but also because blood religion had great potential as a left path.

To think that he would involve all his companions in something like that.

Ho Cheon-an could not properly respond to Seo Mun-yeon’s justified anger.

“…that is.”

Although Ho Cheon-an decided to join the group, he fully understands the dangers of confronting the blood religion.

Ho Cheon-an, who was harboring a sense of guilt for getting the group involved because of his own circumstances, could not refute Seo Mun-yeon’s words.

When Ho Cheon-an could not bear to answer, Yeo Il-ye, who was next to him, opened his mouth.

“I am determined.”

“….Be prepared.”

Seo Mun-yeon sighed as she looked at Yeo Il-ye’s single eyes shining with determination. There was a time when Seo Mun-yeon had such intentions. There was a time when I thought I could overcome any obstacle to be with my lover.

Seo Mun-yeon looked at Hyuk Kirin. He looked sorry that the argument had started because of him, but I could see through his eyes that he would never back down.

“Good.”

Seo Mun-yeon nodded.

He obviously kept his mouth shut and did not want to tell the truth. In the world, there are times when not knowing is the best, there are things you will never know unless you experience them, and imagination and reality are different things.

however.

‘If I keep my mouth shut like this, the worst thing will happen.’

Without a method of formation, the party is exposed to the danger of blood sect without any countermeasures.

Seo Mun-yeon looked back at Hyuk Kirin and then at the group.

It was a shame that they were all caught by such a crazy libertine.

Therefore, Seo Mun-yeon changed his mind and decided to teach him the true method.

I didn’t want to cause them great pain, but it was better than letting them die.

“Starting tomorrow, I will tell you the way to completely unite your unique energies.”

Seo Mun-yeon looked at everyone in the group and glared at Ho Cheon-an and said.

“Don’t regret it.”
