Where on earth did Wei Seo-ryeon go?

I was able to answer that question when I encountered Wei Seo-ryeon while practicing early in the morning the next day.

“Where did you go out yesterday?”

“Ah, I came after doing some gambling with the Tang family. To be more precise, I came here competing with a person of the same age as Tang So-yeol, called Carrot.”

It seems that while I was away, party members came into the guesthouse.

I wondered if he had sneaked outside and caused an accident, but perhaps he had made friends with people from the party under the guidance of Tang So-yeol.

“As expected from a Tang family, he has excellent gambling skills.”

Looking at Wei Seo-ryeon, who was happy like a child before going on a picnic, it seems that she really enjoyed yesterday’s gambling.

Well, in the Heavenly Demon Church, there was no one with whom he could compete properly due to the gap in status, and since coming to the central plain, he has only been able to deal with gamblers who were weighed down by the prestige of the Black Dragon and the Small Heavenly Demon.

I don’t know the level of skill and martial arts level of the person named Carrot, but since he is a direct descendant of the Tang family, he must have been excellent in martial arts and gambling skills. So, for Wei Seo-ryeon, he would have been the best opponent he had ever encountered.

“We promised to meet at the gambling house again today, so I plan to go out and learn something.”

Do you plan on hanging out together in the future?

In that case, it would be better to meet at least once and see each other face to face. I also wanted to take a look at what Wi Seo-ryeon is doing.

With a light heart, I headed to Tangga’s gambling house with Wei Seo-ryeon, and the moment the door opened, I realized something was wrong.

Sharp gazes shoot through the slowly opening door of the gambling house!

Even though it was early in the morning, there were dozens of Dang people at the Dang family gambling hall. No, it wasn’t that he was sitting there… it was more like he was waiting for the male priest to be summoned.

And when Wei Seo-ryeon looked at the Tang family, she made the same expression she often showed when dancing with me.

Unable to control his excitement, a fierce smile twists the corners of his mouth.

What kind of situation is this?

No, didn’t he go gambling with Dang So-yeol’s friend yesterday and come back after eating with friends?

What on earth did you do to make the party people so angry?

“I’ll start right away.”

“The sea I hoped for.”

However, as if my embarrassment had not been taken into consideration, the Tang clan members moved quickly to prepare the table, and Wei Seo-ryeon sat down at the table without even the slightest hesitation.

As I was blinking and staring at the scene in bewilderment, someone felt my shoulder.

It was Tang Do-gyeong.

“It’s been a while. Ho Hyung.”

“No, brother. What is happening?”

Dan Do-gyeong smiled bitterly and opened his mouth.

Only then was I able to understand the whole story.

*** ***

emergency! Super emergency!

Socheonma Wi Seo-ryeon has passed on the secret memorization of Dangga!

As soon as the party members finished gambling, they headed to the carriage management office to catch Party So-yeol, the culprit of this incident.

It was to catch Tang So-yeol, who had been caught by Dang Do-yeon and was repairing a Bicheon carriage, and had committed the grave crime of handing over the secret memorization of Dang songs to an outsider.

Tang So-yeol, who was repairing the Bicheon carriage, was immediately captured and surrounded by Tang clans. Even Tang Do-yeon was unable to stop this with such a vicious force that it would not be surprising if he killed a single person.

“This colt is causing a major accident!”

“Know that you can’t just ignore this time!”

“To hand over the secret memorization of the Tang family into the hands of outsiders! Are you out of your mind?”

However, Tang Xiaoyeol, who was trapped, opened his mouth leisurely despite such an ugly situation.

“Ah…I’ll take that.”

“…What?”

“It’s not because of the advanced memorization box given to Wei Seo-ryeon. It’s a fake that only looks good.”

FALSE? It’s fake?

The Tang clans who had not opened the advanced memorization box that Wei Seo-ryeon had hung were in confusion. Was it really fake?

“No matter what, do you think I would hand over the party’s secret memorization machine with my own hands? Are you saying they made it just for the sake of raising the stake? Even I can’t make a non-memorizing machine with the equipment of a simple blacksmith shop that can be used while traveling.”

The party members who were confused by the following words from the party gradually came to their senses.

What kind of action is it to pass over the secret memorization in this party? As for other sects, it is closer to leaking objects or martial arts that symbolize the sect.

No matter how much of a troublemaker the party members were, it was not something that could be done easily.

“Then what about the advanced memorization box that Carrot bet on yesterday?”

“That’s no problem. Although I filled it with advanced memorization, I prepared it only by gathering things that would not cause damage even if they were leaked.”

The party members breathed a sigh of relief. In the end, the emergency situation that the party’s secret memory machine was leaked was just an illusion.

The tense tension was relieved and a sense of relief took over.

“What kind of trouble is this at night because of this colt!”

“Oh my, I’m so sick of it. I don’t have the energy to get angry, so I guess I’ll go to sleep.”

The party members, who had experienced extreme emotional labor all day, were complaining of fatigue and were about to disperse in all directions.

“Well, in the end, they lost and were robbed of their memorization, so they did a good job.”

Those who were about to disperse stopped at the mutterings of the party.

The Tang family was shocked and their noses were stuffed. What is the cause of this commotion now? It was because of the Party Soyeol who handed over fake memorization to Wei Seo-ryeon.

They said the guy who farted got angry, and the current situation was exactly like that.

“What, what? What did you say just now?”

“No, did I say something wrong? That’s correct. In the end, if he had defeated Wei Seo-ryeon, nothing would have happened. But because the uncles lost, the memorization of the Tang song was passed on to Wei Seo-ryeon.”

Afterwards, the Party members ended up saying things they should not have said.

“I thought I was really good at gambling because I was always gambling, but I was really bad at it.”

Blood vessels suddenly appeared on the Tang clan’s forehead.

“…So this is the situation now?”

The Party members who were told by Party So-yeol, ‘You’re not good at gambling.’

The Tang clans were extremely angry, but unfortunately, it was a clear fact that they had lost the gamble to Wei Seolian.

So, there must have been only one way for the party clans to recover their scratched pride.

It’s about winning against Wei Seo-ryeon.

So, in order to defeat Wei Seo-ryeon, many Tang clans flocked to the gambling hall from early in the morning.

I shifted my gaze to the gambling table.

While Dang Do-gyeong was explaining what happened yesterday, the relationship between the direct lineage and the superior world had already passed several times.

Rattling! Rattling!

Yeon-yang’s trick was definitely unusual. Well, since the reputation of the entire party is at stake, he is probably the strongest dice player among his age group who can compete with Wei Seo-ryeon.

widely!

Naturally, he put down his glass with confidence, as if he had chosen the desired number. Wei Seo-ryeon thought for a moment about missing the dice, then held out an appliance and said a number.

“Hmm. I’ll bet on 7.”

Geez, if it were me, I wouldn’t have bet the middle move even if I missed the die.

Wi Seo-ryeon’s judgment could be said to be standard.

It is true that in dice gambling where two dice match, the probability of getting a number around 6 is high.

It’s not a bad choice in a normal gambling game, but now you should have taken the opponent’s skill into consideration.

Naturally, he is skilled enough to gouge out Jan’s eyes as he intended. The fact that such a person put down the glass with confidence meant that there was a high probability that he had chosen a low number.

For example, numbers like 2 or 12.

Normally, that would be the case, but since the pride of the party was at stake, I think they would have twisted it and come up with either 3 or 11 instead of such an extreme move.

The glass was raised and the dice shown were 2 and 1.

The party spectators gained momentum at the natural victory.

“Good! You’re doing great!”

“Push it like this!”

Looking at the home appliances on the board, there are 60 for Yeondang and 40 for Wiseoryeon.

Although Yan Yan was steadily gaining the upper hand, the expressions on Yan Yan and the Tang clan’s expressions were far from words such as leisure or superiority.

I understood the feelings of those party members.

Yesterday, they must have witnessed with their own eyes what a monstrous talent Wei Seo-ryeon possesses.

A learning speed that the criminal could not even imagine. When you witness explosive growth that confirms that your skills are improving on the spot, it is no wonder that you become fearful of such ridiculous talent.

“Hmm.”

Wei Shu-lian looked at Yan Yan as if he was dissatisfied. Certainly, from Wei Seo-ryeon’s perspective, he would not like Yeon-yang’s gambling method.

Of course, Wiseoryeon was not given room to grow.

Wei Shulian uses high-level techniques that are difficult to immediately understand and uses only those techniques to a persistent extent to solidify his superiority.

It doesn’t give Wiseoryeon any room to climb over anything.

however.

As the ship goes around, Wi Seo-ryeon manages to see through Yeon-yeon’s moves. No matter how advanced the technique was, it was used over and over again, so in the end, it could not escape Wei Seolyeon’s eyes.

“This was it.”

Yan Yeon’s response, realizing that Wei Seolyeon had completely guessed his technique, was simple.

Brings out another technique.

Wei Seo-ryeon is in a position to think again, and in the meantime, Yeon-yang widens the gap between home appliances again.

Once a technique is discovered, another technique is brought out.

Naturally, he continued to gain the upper hand by consuming technology, and his odds of winning were seven to three. Considering that it was a dice gamble with a strong random element, it had to be completely crushing.

“grunt.”

Wei Seo-ryeon’s home appliances have almost run out.

There are at most five home appliances left.

Even in a situation where the defeat was so strong that the game was almost certain, Wei Seo-ryeon’s will did not break, but it was not a difference that could be overcome with will alone.

Well, it must have been a good lesson for Wei Seo-ryeon, who tends to focus only on detecting the opponent’s skills.

It is true that Wei Seo-ryeon has crazy talent, but in gambling, it is fundamentally difficult to detect the opponent’s skills. To the extent that it is common sense that victory or loss cannot be guaranteed when the variable called luck comes into play.

That is why psychological warfare is important in gambling.

Sometimes, just understanding the other person’s intentions can produce the same or better results than detecting a technique.

Wei Seo-ryeon, who was so focused on detecting technology that he neglected psychological warfare, fought by throwing away more than half of his chances. In such a situation, it was impossible to defeat Yeon-dang, who had the upper hand in terms of skill.

Unlike Wi Seo-ryeon, who gambled as she pleased, out of enjoyment, Yeon-yang was thorough until the end.

Although Wei Seo-ryeon could not detect the technique currently being used, he brought out another technique.

I felt a thorough determination not to tolerate even the slightest change.

Rattling! Rattling!

widely!

As Yan Yan put down the glass, Wei Seo-ryeon pushed in all the remaining home appliances. This may be because they decided that this technology could not be grasped with the remaining home appliances.

However, unlike the hand that swept home appliances without hesitation, Wei Seo-ryeon could hardly say numbers.

Probably because of regret.

However, it seemed that Wei Seo-ryeon’s appearance seemed a little different to Yeon-dang.

Even though Wei Shulian was defeated, what was the process like? We have reached this point by defeating each and every one of the best techniques that Yeon-dang can deploy.

You never know when it will catch up.

If you run out of prepared skills, you will definitely lose.

I must have felt like a prey being chased by a predator, and my heart was racing throughout the game.

Because Yeon-dang was a skilled gambler, he had kept those feelings well hidden until now, but at the end of the game, he ended up revealing some of his feelings.

Despite Wei Seo-ryeon’s actions of wasting time and wasting her time with regret, Yeon-yeon’s expression remained firm, but she could not even stop the cold sweat seeping from her forehead.

Wei Seo-ryeon looked at Yeon Yeon’s forehead and sighed, perhaps realizing the pressure Yeon Yeon was feeling.

“Ha, is that so…”

Wei Seo-ryeon muttered that, and a rare expression of regret appeared on her face.

From Wei Seo-ryeon’s point of view, perhaps he thought that he would not feel psychological pressure since he had the stake and technological advantage.

“There was a possibility I didn’t know about.”

While listening to Wei Seo-ryeon’s muttering, this thought suddenly occurred to me.

Isn’t the peak something all too familiar to Wei Seo-ryeon?

Perhaps Wei Seo-ryeon did not understand the nervousness and pressure of the person being chased. Perhaps he grew up under the hands of the Heavenly Demon, aimed at reaching the peak, and never even imagined a life other than the peak.

For her, the weight of peak is something she has carried her whole life, so perhaps she is not even aware of it.

“Twelve…no, I’ll bet on two.”

Well, in the current situation, it’s a useless story.

Because Wei Shu-lian now realized that he had to look into people’s hearts. So, there is no need to know why Wei Seo-ryeon gave up psychological warfare.

Yeon-yang’s upper lip twitched, and Wei Seo-ryeon closed her eyes.

A winning smile that even Wei Seo-ryeon, who has finally begun to examine people’s hearts, can recognize at a glance.

The glasses were raised and the numbers that appeared were 5, 6, and 11.

“Won!”

“Of course! I knew you could do it!”

Yan Yan let out a long breath and looked at the ceiling as if to relieve the tension that had built up so far, and the party members patted her on the back and rejoiced.

The honor of the party has been restored!

As expected, the Tang family’s gambling skills are the best in the world!

Even if such words were to come out, it was a joyous atmosphere that was not strange at all… but the joyous atmosphere was broken the moment Wei Seo-ryeon opened his mouth and placed a memorization box on the gambling table.

“This makes it one to one.”

The party clans were agitated by the Wiseoryeon’s declaration of one-on-one. Since they clearly won against Carrot and lost to Yeon-dang, wouldn’t the match between Tang Ga and Wi Seo-ryeon be said to be a draw?

Wi Seo-ryeon clearly shows her will to decide the winner by mentioning that it is a draw. In response to Wei Seo-ryeon’s will, the Tang clans’ gazes diligently crossed and messages were exchanged.

Yeon Yeon, who had competed just a moment ago, spoke as the representative.

“First of all, I have to apologize to Socheonma. The memorization received from Tang So-yeol of the main family is actually… fake.”

“Um.”

“This Dangga gambling hall is a place where those who have the memorization and poison of Dangga gather to determine ownership. Unfortunately, Socheonma does not possess the memorization of the Tang song…”

“Is that really the problem?”

“Sorry. Socheonma. If you want to enjoy gambling, send someone to the guest house…”

“No, I liked the gambling here.”

The party members are taken aback by the sudden pressure of Wei Seo-ryeon. Wei Shu-lian looked at the Tang family, raised the corner of his mouth, and presented to Yan Yan the memory he had just lost.

Yan Yeon accepted the memorization with a puzzled look. This is definitely the memorization box that Carrot lost yesterday, right?

“Try to open it.”

….no way?

Yan Yeon hurriedly opened the carrot memory box. Then, he looked at the memorized box inside and opened his eyes wide.

“This is…!”

“Nonsense!”

I didn’t know what the memorization of the Tang song looked like, and I didn’t know what kind of memorization the carrot was robbed of yesterday, but I was able to fully understand the situation just by the Tang family’s reaction.

Mixed up!

Wiseoryeon is a combination of the fake memorization of Dangsoyeol and the real memorization of carrots in the memorization of carrots.

While the Tang clan was shocked by the completely unexpected situation, Wei Seolian leisurely opened his mouth.

“I thought about it after seeing your reactions yesterday. Although I am obviously close to the Tang So-yeol, is it possible for me to give away my knowledge, which can be said to be the treasure of the family, as a stake in a gambling table? So I thought it might be fake.”

It is clear that Wei Seo-ryeon is immature and a mite in the gambling world, and is a troublemaker and a cheating colt in the martial arts world.

But at the same time, Wi Seo-ryeon was the pinnacle of the Heavenly Demon Church, a Heavenly Demon, so he was by no means an easy person.

The party overlooked that point.

“I was worried that you might just try to retrieve Carrot’s memorization box since it wouldn’t be difficult for you to hear the truth from Tang So-yeol’s mouth during the night… I guess it wasn’t a needless worry. As expected, I did a good job mixing memorization.”

I was fooled!

That was exactly the look on the faces of the party members when they realized that the victory they had gained was only half.

On the other hand, Wei Seo-ryeon got up from her seat and smiled like a winner.

“I will come back tomorrow.”

I guess.

It felt like the gambling battle between the Tang clan and Wei Shu-lian would continue for a while.
