“How about slowly surrendering?”

What broke the silence was the voice of the person who created this silence.

Is that why? The startled people in black hesitated.

There was no way they didn’t know what the strong meant in a fight like this.

Moreover, the opponent is Chae-jin, who has been crushed to the point of playing with Chae-jeok-yo.

If so, surrender would have been wise, but they ultimately chose to take up arms.

“Huh?”

“He must have chosen wheel fighting because he judged that he would have used a lot of internal strength in the fight with Chaejeokyo. If we can take advantage of our numerical superiority and defeat you here, we can turn the situation around.”

“It seems stupid. I’d rather run away. Of course, I have no intention of letting you go just because of that.”

“Well, if I could have thought about that, I wouldn’t have come. By the way, can you fight any more?”

“Of course.”

click. She put the sword into the sword case and held out her fist.

I wasn’t particularly tired just because I caught one piece of hay.

Still, there was only one reason why she wanted to use Tai Chi.

To show Yuwol.

In fact, there is no training as good as actual combat, but watching martial arts performed properly is also educational, so I wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to watch it.

“Inhale.”

With a low level of energy, she grabbed the arm of the man in black who was running towards her, twisted it lightly, and then threw him away. And when you’re ready to face the next enemy. June approached.

“I will help you.”

I felt sorry for getting hit a few times during the fight earlier, so I wanted to let him rest for a while.

Still, I liked the way he took action on his own.

Of course, it still hurts to see him get beaten, but that won’t happen if you’re with him.

Chaejin grinned and leaned back against him, and he also leaned back against himself.

That feeling of stability made my heart warm to an absurd degree.

Before the feeling went away, Chaejin glanced at Changju and said.

“Please help me stay overnight.”

“Sure.”

She falls back with Yohwan and throws an amulet.

What the five amulets created was one small barrier.

Among the things she was talking about earlier, she said that when she was in the military, she survived a place full of monsters with a few amulets.

Of course, there may be some bluff involved, but I still thought that I would be safe until this fight was over.

“Ugh!!”

My body moves while I think.

As the stabbing sword was about to aim for Yuwol, Chaejin slowly put out his left foot.

Then turn your body using your right foot as the axis. When the flying sword passes in front of his face, Yuwol, who was moving according to his own power, taps his wrist, and the sword, which has lost its direction, plunges into the shoulder of another black-clothed man.

“Quaaah!”

Even though their backs are facing each other, movement is visible.

It makes me smile to see them grow steadily and steadily as I taught them.

Chaejin smiled at him with her back to him and raised her outstretched legs towards the three who were attacking at the same time.

I hit one person’s fist away with my foot, and the second person’s attack was pushed away with my elbow.

At that time, the power of Yuwol, who was fighting the enemy on the other side, pushed him away, and he used the recoil to change the direction of the club being struck.

-Pow!!

Chaejin hummed unconsciously as the spinning club hit the other guy’s shoulder.

“Ah.”

Suddenly, I remember the first time I learned martial arts.

When Cai practiced Tai Chi, guided by the hands of his apprentice, moving his limbs according to his teachings and feeling the energy of nature.

From then on, she may have fallen in love with martial arts.

However, after becoming Moon Woljeong’s great disciple, he forgot the pleasure of martial arts.

To maintain the position of great disciple.

To show competence.

But here I am feeling it again.

Now that I’m used to it, I can’t believe Tai Chi is so new and enjoyable.

I want him to know this joy too.

That’s why Chaejin lowered his power.

Because I am much stronger than Yuwol.

Balance is important.

Just as yin and yang must be balanced to achieve unity and create Taegeuk.

If you claim to be strong alone, you will only create confusion.

That’s why I lowered the power.

She attacked the secret area alone, confident in her own strength.

For him.

The sight of them working together to take down the people in black who are running towards them.

It clearly resembled the dance moves of a man and a woman.

***

Is it because Chaejin, who looks oddly happy, was with us?

It was not difficult to defeat all the people in black who gathered around.

Chae-jin, who was looking around at the people in black who were broken and broken all over the place, spoke to Chamo.

“Would you please go to Moonwoljeong Pavilion? Explain the situation to your father.”

“Yes. I understand.”

“Is it okay if I go alone?”

“I also learned martial arts at Munwoljeong, so I can at least protect my body. And if you go a little further from here, it’s a big road, so there will be government soldiers, so don’t worry.”

“But just in case, take this one with you.”

She received the amulet given by Changju and ran out, raising her thick arms as if to reassure her.

It is very impressive to see that he does not care even though he has suffered the worst of all things that can happen in a guesthouse.

With that, she left the guesthouse, and when the barrier around the window was lifted, Yohwan spoke in a voice full of fear.

“…I’m sorry about this. This incident is all because of me…”

“It’s not your fault, so don’t worry about it.”

What crime could Yohwan be guilty of?

It’s the fault of those who gave her away while trying to snatch her.

“Should I go if I come from Munwoljeong?”

“Probably so, right? This matter will be decided at the Moonwoljeong meeting, so I have to participate…”

“Are you okay?”

“Of course. Because what he did was a serious crime. And after going through something like this, shouldn’t I be compensated? I will work hard and receive a lot!”

She blinked one eye and spoke cheerfully.

“Then, when do you think Moonwoljeong’s meeting will be held?”

“As the matter is an issue… if the assistant manager brings in someone, it will start accordingly. I think they’ll probably do an investigation and interrogation as well. Since Ryeon is there, maybe we can investigate right away as soon as Chamo enters Munwoljeong.”

“I see. Let’s get things sorted out first. Yohwan. Even if you can’t use martial arts, you can at least capture it, right?”

“Ah. Of course.”

Chaejin headed to the guesthouse’s warehouse and brought out a thick rope. After tying up all the people in black and putting them in one place, Yohwan laughed bitterly.

“You must be hungry from all the effort, wouldn’t it be better to eat something? I wonder if I can use some ingredients…”

She spoke leisurely and entered the kitchen. Changju brought a bottle of alcohol, sat in the corner, and began to sip.

It’s quiet, as if the noise from earlier was a lie.

I took out a pack of tobacco from my pocket, sat on the steps at the entrance to the guesthouse, and put the tobacco in my mouth.

Let’s see… Hwaseopja.

“Oh my.”

Hwaseopja, who had been beaten during a fight earlier, was lying on the floor over there, in the spilled soup. When I brought it in, it looked like the end was broken and the soup had seeped into it, extinguishing the flame.

-Hwareuk.

At that moment, I saw a flame in front of me.

It was Chaejin. It seems like he used his inner energy to create a fire like last time.

Chae did Tai Chi to Moonlight Island and me, and must have been exhausted from defeating most of the people in black.

“This is okay.”

Chaejin, who spoke leisurely with a carefree expression, held out a finger. When I brought the end of the tobacco to the flame, it caught fire with a crackling sound.

Pale smoke flows out. After enjoying it, I went back to the entrance stairs and sat down, and Chaejin naturally squatted down next to me.

quiet. In a situation where there was still some awkwardness, Chaejin slowly opened her mouth.

“…I’m sorry. Disappointed… were you?”

“Hmm?”

“…This incident.”

Unlike the confident voice from before, Chaejin’s voice sounded timid.

It must have been quite traumatizing to her that Moon Woljeong, and also my disciple, committed such an indecent act.

I shook my head as she glanced at me.

“I wasn’t particularly disappointed. This incident was done by an individual. Is this the meaning of Moonwoljeong?”

“It can’t be.”

“Then that’s enough. I know that Chae So-jeo is a charlatan who values righteousness and cooperation. I also know that the apprentice will not ignore this matter. What is there to be disappointed about?”

I exhaled smoke. Hazy smoke spreads through the night air to the surrounding area.

I slowly looked away and saw that Chaejin’s gaze was focused on the tobacco pack in my hand as she lowered her head.

“Do you want to smoke again after doing that last time?”

I still have memories of that time in my head.

I smiled and held out the tobacco pack, but she gently shook her head.

“No. are you okay. Because now I want to try something other than that.”

Chaejin smiled cheerfully and sat down next to me without saying anything.

It was quiet.

But it wasn’t as awkward as before.

After a while, Yohwan came out and there were two dishes in his hands. As a servant who worked in the imperial palace, he seems to have been able to create quite an excellent dish in such a short period of time using ordinary ingredients.

“This is delicious. hmm. Can I continue to eat things like this in the future?”

Changju speaks while taking a sip of alcohol as a side dish from Yohwan’s food. Yohwan grinned at her.

“Pay money and come to the store to eat. Now I’m a guest belonging to a guesthouse.”

“Che.”

“He’s older than that. What martial arts did you learn at Amipa that makes Chaejeokyo so obsessed with you?”

Yohwan looked embarrassed at Changju’s question. And then he takes a quick look at me.

“It is better not to inquire about other people’s affairs until they reveal it themselves.”

“Hmm. I guess so.”

That was the end. Changju did not ask any more questions, and Yohwan smiled bitterly and mumbled his food. So I ate the food and sipped the alcohol. How many times did it go around like that?

By the time we finished eating and drinking, Yohwan muttered.

“It’s slower than I thought for Munwoljeong.”

” As Sojeo Chae said, wouldn’t it be because it also serves as an investigator? If they think the evidence may be lost, more weight will be given to investigating that area.”

At that time, the entrance to the guesthouse became noisy.

The four of us looked in that direction, and there stood a beautiful girl who looked a little more mature than Sayun, wearing clothes similar to Chaejin, accompanied by white-robed warriors and Wolgwangdae, Moonwoljeong’s elite.

Chaeryeon.

Like Chaejin, she is an impressive girl with beautiful long hair like the night sky.

She, the other main character of Heavenly Moon and Chaejin’s younger sister, was frowning at the devastation that had occurred in the guest room.

Then he walked straight towards us and bowed politely.

“This is Chae-ryeon, a disciple of Moon Wol-jeong. He is the younger brother of Chae Jin, the great disciple here.”

“My name is Yuwol, the guest of Seomhwachon.”

“Nice to meet you. Let me start with the main point. After receiving Cha Mo’s report, I immediately inspected Chae Jeok-yo’s room and some of the Byeol-e Mundos. And there we found some evidence other than the planning of your attack. There were also stories of other people saying that they tried to force Yohwan in…”

“Is that so?”

I did my research quickly.

When I was impressed, she explained in detail without me asking.

As soon as Chamo’s report was received, the doje personally accompanied the elders and members of the Wolgwangdae and properly inspected Chaejeokyao’s room within Munwoljeong and Byeokromun Gate located next to Munwoljeong, and in the process found evidence that Chaejeokyao had prepared an attack. Things I did to push Yohwan into a corner.

They also discovered some reports of pressuring her using the Byeolremundo, and caught a person who was running away with some evidence, and are investigating to find additional information.

At the same time, they captured and interrogated the Byeokromundo members involved in the matter and obtained their testimony as well.

After saying that there would be no problem as Chae Jeok-yo’s mistake would become clear if we combined the testimony that could be obtained by interrogating the people here, he bowed low.

“We apologize for any inconvenience caused by our Moonwoljeong incident. I have nothing to say. We, Moonwoljeong, will cover all damages resulting from this incident.”

“Hmm.”

“We will also make sure to provide proper compensation. So, could you leave the handling of this matter to us?”

Both Changju and Yohwan look at me. Are you saying you want to leave it to me?

I looked at Chaeryeon and nodded.

“I believe that your arm will not bend inward. But can I participate in that meeting? Anyway, I am also a party to this matter.”

The Chaeryeon I know wouldn’t just try to cover this up.

No, since Chae-ryeon was quite annoyed by Chae-jeok-yo and Byeok-ryeok-mun, a lower-ranking force of Moon Wol-jeong, wouldn’t he rather use this opportunity to end things altogether?

And the compensation will be neatly provided, and any possible consequences will be eliminated.

That’s why she smiled and nodded.

“Rather, this is something I wanted to ask for. I would like to invite all of you as guests of Moonwoljeong. Please don’t hesitate.”

“I accept the invitation.”

“Thank you. I won’t disappoint you.”

She greeted me and looked back. The Moonlight Team members who were waiting were busy moving around under the gaze.

Chaeryeon, who was watching this, smiled and spoke to me, perhaps to change the heavy atmosphere.

“I heard that you are my sister’s employer.”

“That’s right.”

“I’m worried that my sister might cause trouble. How long does that employment last? Since my sister has been indebted to me for so long, I think I should at least repay her…”

“Nothing to complain about. Rather, I am more indebted to you.”

“Oh my. Is that so?”

“And the problem is… Isn’t it as long as Sojeo Chae wants to do it?”

Because the contract was signed at an absurdly low price in the first place.

Maybe now that Dun has gained enlightenment, he might stick with Hongryeon… and Chaejin might leave soon.

If Chaejin goes, I’ll have to make plans again, so let’s take this opportunity to ask.

“Chae Sojeo. How long are you going to do this?”

Chaejin answered very seriously.

“Until the guest master has enough skills to receive my recognition…?”
