The martial arts competition was over, and the ice and snow sword, which was safely stored in my safe, was delivered to Hongseongmun.

I could see that Hongryeon was happy when I congratulated her on winning, but I could only smile bitterly at the thought of having to recuperate for a few days with bandages all over my body and internal injuries.

Of course, Chaejin wasn’t all that well either. She also suffered serious injuries, including broken ribs, and internal injuries, so she had to recuperate for several days.

But what can you do? It is said that he learned something through that confrontation.

All I can do is congratulate him.

When I sighed, remembering what happened a few days ago, Geomseong seemed to have sensed what I was thinking and smiled.

“They are truly reckless.”

“Hahaha…”

Hongnyeondo, Chaejindo.

Perhaps because we both needed to rest for a while, Geomseong continued to guard me in the guesthouse.

“Still, if you recuperate at Hongseongmun, you will get better quickly… so it’s probably a good thing that it’s like that.”

Geomseong slightly nodded while sipping the tea I gave him.

After the dance competition and staying at the guest house for about a day, Hongryeon and Chaejin were moved to Hongseongmun.

The intention was to use Hongseongsan’s spiritual energy to speed up recovery.

Additionally, due to the effect of the Bodhisattva statue that Sayun currently has, staying at Hongseongmun increases the recovery speed, so it is definitely better to stay there until the body fully recovers.

The two of them were in tears as they moved to Hongseongmun, but this was something that could not be helped.

“The Sword Saint must be having a hard time.”

“Why should I suffer? You have suffered more.”

It’s hard work…

After the martial arts competition ended, the number of martial artists coming to Seomhwachon increased.

It was not simply because Seomhwachon became known for the dance competitions held in Seomhwachon.

“Sinsanjara. It’s a nickname that really suits you.”

A few days after the dance competition ended, a letter arrived from the pavilion.

What was written there was that the government eventually decided to give me the nickname ‘Sinsan Seonja.’

When it became known that a fairly high-ranking person in the royal palace who was close to Duke Mun Ha-gong decided to personally acknowledge it, the martial people often visited my guesthouse.

Recently, the locations of monsters in the world have changed, and monsters that have become stronger or changed have been appearing.

While their locations were changing, they may have eaten each other, increased their strength, and become stronger by adapting to the new terrain.

As such, the monster hunters who wanted to safely catch monsters by getting information from me found the guesthouse where I stayed, and as it was known that they easily caught monsters several times in the process, the number of people increased even more.

“Now that there is a special issue, the number of people is definitely increasing.”

“The results of what you have done are shown in a star sign. So don’t hate that nickname too much.”

Geomsung nodded slightly.

Well, there were quite a few benefits to having a star name in Heavenly Moon. Things like getting more rewards when you do an event or being able to easily talk to high-ranking people when you go to another area.

But it’s really burdensome.

Shinsan Seonja. If this goes astray once, won’t it just go to hell?

“Hehe. Are you feeling burdened?”

“I can’t say no.”

“What…”

Geomseong looked around. Sayoon can be seen practicing in the backyard.

While Geomseong stayed in the guesthouse and guarded me, the students who were supposed to learn from her came down and trained here, and today it was Sayun’s turn.

Geomseong looked at her with warm eyes, and after confirming that there was no one in the guest room, he came over to the seat next to me, sat down, and gently kissed my cheek.

A warm, soft sensation against your cheek.

When I looked at Geomseong, his face was red and he gently held my hand.

“Don’t worry. I am next to you.”

“Hahaha…”

“Like the fact that you will be by my side even if I lose…”

“Thank you.”

Sword Saint’s eyes become a little hotter. As her body approached.

“Master!”

“Ugh, huh?!”

In an instant, Geomsung stood up from his seat. Sayoon, who was practicing in the backyard, smiled brightly and said.

“Can you please take a look?!”

“Yeah, yeah.”

Geomseong licked his lips as if he was slightly disappointed at Sayun’s call and smiled at me.

“So don’t worry.”

“Haha… Yes.”

Sayun, who came down for training, decided to sleep with Geomseong today.

Geomseong seemed a little embarrassed, but what could he say when the youngest disciple said he wanted to be with the master?

She said she wanted to learn more and find peace of mind by being with him, so she eventually agreed.

I almost knew why Sayun was doing that.

What Sayun showed at this martial arts competition was not simple. In the coffin, and in the Murim League.

In Sapa, maybe he came disguised.

Sayun’s skills were revealed to the world.

As the reputation of Hong Seong-moon was growing day by day, the Murim Alliance would give Sayun a special title, so he felt burdened and wanted to rely on Geomseong.

Not only that, but maybe sooner or later an unarmed weapon will fly to Sayoon. It is a characteristic of the martial arts people to try to raise their name or confirm their skills by dealing with masters who suddenly gained fame.

I glanced at the room where the people from Hongseongmun were staying. In a place hidden by a cloth, the sound of Sayun and Geomseong talking can be heard.

As I was looking at it, I heard a knock on the window.

” Thank you for your hard work. Seonja Shinsan.”

“Hahaha… That’s a burden.”

“You’ll get used to it soon.”

It was a postal inquiry.

He handed me a whole box containing dozens of letters.

“Ah. And there is also a letter sent by our Lord Moon.”

What is the cost of a postal inquiry?

I looked through the box and found that there was a rather special type of sign inside.

“What is this?”

“It’s like a business proposal. Due to the nature of our mail, it travels between many regions. And we are figuring out the location of the monsters. I will tell you about the forms and locations of the monsters you discover in the process, and I hope that Seonja Shinsan will tell you how to avoid them. If that were there, people walking on the street would be safer.”

“Haha. That would be fine. Please let Moonju know that you will think positively.”

“Yes. Then I’ll leave.”

After the mail door went out, I put the box on the desk.

Let’s see… Most of them congratulated me on getting the title of Shinsan Seonja and asked me to visit their sect soon.

Among them, there was even a comment that said that their daughter or younger brother was really nice, so why not introduce them to them?

Accepting a person of high reputation into the family through marriage and using that to increase the power of the family or clan was not a particularly special story, so I just laughed and put it to the side.

As I was checking the books, I saw a box with familiar letters written on it.

It was sent by Sayun.

The weather continues without a single cloud. It’s a peaceful time as always, but that’s not the case in Seomhwachon now.

I don’t know if you’ve even heard of it.

They say there are a lot of stories about Seomhwachon in Moorim these days.

Perhaps because of the dance competition that was held not long ago, there were a lot of people coming to Seomhwachon.

I’m sure you would have heard it, right?

Hehehe. Actually, I was quite worried when I first competed in a martial arts competition. Since more people came than I expected, I wondered what I would do if I tarnished Hong Seong-moon’s name at the dance competition.

But I couldn’t give up because there were many people who had expectations of me.

I’m sure you supported me too, right?

I hope so.

I don’t know if you know the result. I got good grades in this competition.

lol. I beat senior Myojae, who even has the nickname “One-Eyed Dragon” in martial arts.

Of course, that victory was possible thanks to senior Myojae’s concessions and consideration.

Still, I felt a little relieved when my teacher and sisters told me that a win was a win.

And in the end, I was defeated by the Hongryeon ambassador.

hmm. Well, it was an expected result.

Still, I felt a little relieved because I was showing what I had achieved and what I had received so far in front of so many people.

ah. I heard that I will soon have a star name. Although it will be reviewed by the Murim Alliance… I’m looking forward to seeing what kind of stars it will receive.

But getting a star means you have to do more, right? I need to work harder in the future.

Next time, I will be able to beat senior Myojae without making any concessions!

If I become that strong, wouldn’t I be able to confidently say that I can protect you?

It reminds me of it because it has a special nickname.

The owner of Seomhwachon’s Yuwol guest house was given the nickname Shinsan Seonja. After seeing this, many people come from all over to meet the guest owner, so why not meet him too?

Not because he helped our Hong Seong-moon, but because he knows a lot and generously uses his knowledge to do good deeds.

I’m sure you’ll get along well with him.

And if you have time, I hope you’ll come visit us at Hongseongmun.

anyway! The duel with Cheonhwagung will soon begin.

I hope to see good results then as well.

So much so that I’m not embarrassed to tell you!

P.s.

The enclosed herb is called Cheonjicho. Even just chewing well-dried Cheonjicho is said to help increase physical strength. It may be a little bitter, but it’s good for your health, so chew it thoroughly before eating it!

I saw the herbs in the box. It was one of the herbs I received from a store some time ago.

I heard that Sayun grew it himself, so I thought I would get it separately, but I got it like this.

I carefully packed the herbs in the box, which were as gray as her hair, and then opened the safe.

Sayoon’s letter was placed in a small box inside the safe that was larger than the one used before and also had a sealing effect.

Then, he slowly turned his head towards the room where Sayun and Geomseong were and smiled.

Enjoy this.
