episode_0269

After the succession ceremony, Hongryeon, who became the new chieftain of Hongseongmun, went down Hongseongsan Mountain with the Hongseongmun disciples as scheduled.

After announcing that Hong Seong-mun has become the new Jangmun-in, he takes a walk around Seomhwaseong Fortress and returns.

“Then what will Geomseong do now?”

When Chaejin, who was watching Hongryeon and Hongseongmun’s disciples go down, asked, I turned my eyes to Geomseong.

“If it is a normal clan, you can hand over the position of Jangmun-in and stay in the clan as Taesangmunju, or you can wander around the world.”

Geomseong slowly looked around. Most of the guests followed Hong Seong-mun’s procession down, and there were not many people left.

“Hong Seong-moon is not much different. Just because you are a former scholar, it does not mean that you lose ties with your clan. Therefore, I guard Hongseongmun Gate alone until the procession ends, and when the procession returns…”

“When you come back?”

“If a problem arises due to a lengthy replacement for a few days, he or she will stay and leave to provide support. But in my case, I can leave right away.”

The role of Jang Mun-in is not simply to teach students.

The operation of the sect, relationships with other sects, linkage with the Murim Alliance, and even calculation of the sect’s income or consumption costs.

Therefore, some say that if you become a long-time writer, you will spend more time holding a brush than holding a sword.

Therefore, in the case of the next Jangmun people, before the succession ceremony, they study the operation of the clan with the Jangmun people, stay with them for about a month, and provide support when problems arise, Geomseong said confidently.

“But I don’t need to!”

Hongryeon has been in charge of running the sect as the Minister of Swords for a long time.

Since she is like that, there is no need for Geomseong to remain behind.

“Then where do you plan on going… uh.”

Chaejin’s expression hardened. She looked at the Sword Saint with an expression full of trepidation, and she smiled confidently.

“Now I’m thinking about moving in and living there. And from what I heard, Chaejin. I heard you are also trying to become the owner of Moonwoljeong Pavilion? No, even if it weren’t for that, he would be very busy to fulfill his role as branch manager. How can I entrust Yuwol’s protection to you every time?”

“……”

“So, for the time being, I will take on that role!! alone! Let me take charge of it!!”

Geomseong spoke confidently, as if bragging, and Chaejin looked at her with his mouth wide open.

“Hehe. How do you feel? Are you surprised?”

“Uh. yes. oh my god. The Sword Saint’s head turns so quickly that he can use this move.”

“…You want to fight me now?”

“Haha… Anyway, I am grateful, but Yuwol gets anxious without me and can’t sleep.”

I sleep well.

“And he told me that Cai is learning Tai Chi? Also, I am learning about paperwork from him. So suddenly changing the exclusive escort is a bit…”

Chaejin smiled sweetly and raised her finger.

“Ah. Come to think of it, Sword Saint stayed only at Hongseongmun for a long time, right? There are a lot of good places these days, so why not go there as a sightseeing trip? It will be fun.”

“Hmm. I’m thinking of going on a cruise to a place that seems fun. haha. It’s really good. It’s not that far from here. The food is delicious too. The bed is comfortable too. Not only is there a hot spring there, but it has also recently been designated as a famous spot. The best thing is that there are good people. I plan to stay there for a long time. Hahaha!”

“Ohhohoho!! That would be great! I also want to go and stay right away? No. Should I go right away?”

The mouth smiles, but the eyes do not smile. I shook my head at the fierce fight between the two.

“Stop fighting.”

“Heh.”

“Just think of it as strengthening your friendship. If you’re really fighting, don’t fight with words.”

Chaejin leisurely asked, “Why would you fight with words and leave your good fists alone?” After looking at her like that, Chae-ryeon sighed, shook her head, and looked at me.

I couldn’t help but smile bitterly when I read her eyes apologizing for being an embarrassing sister no matter what I put out there.

It didn’t take long for Hongryun and Hongseongmun’s disciples to return.

Hongryeon, who said she had stopped by all the places she had to stop by, saw me, Geomseong, Chaejin, and Chaeryeon sitting sipping tea, then sent the other disciples away and came towards us.

“Master. Thank you for your hard work.”

“Okay. From now on, you will have to suffer. Now I…”

Geomseong tried to speak in a light tone, but Hongryeon smiled and interrupted her.

“Master says he has stepped down from his position as Jangmun-in, but he is still Hongseongmundo. So, as a Jangmun person, I will ask Taesang Jang Moonin. Please remain at Hongseongmun for the time being and teach the disciples.”

“Huh?”

“If you follow Hongseongmun’s regulations or precedents, the previous generations of scholars did not necessarily go to Hongseongmun. Also, when there was a crisis in the world, the former general would come and help.”

“Um…”

“No way! Master?! You don’t plan on breaking up right away just because you stepped down from your position as Jang Moon-in, right?!”

“Uh…”

“Sa-yoon, Yu-hee, Ryu-hyeon and Hyeon-hwi also want to learn more from their teacher. Master, you resigned from your position as a scholar, but you did not end your relationship with the priests, right? So isn’t it ‘common sense’ that we should teach our students?”

“Yeah, that’s right.”

“Hehe. Well, I guess I’ll have to change rooms for the time being. For now, stay in my room. and. There is a place and something to do. Hey~! You can’t go anywhere for a while!”

“…our student. It’s so amazing. How can they make their teacher do this much work?”

“Hihi! I can’t go!”

Hongryeon, who was smiling mischievously but with serious eyes, spoke clearly, and Chaejin, who was next to her, smiled brightly and helped.

“That’s right. And I talked to Hongryeon before, and I would like to hold more exchange meetings between Moonwoljeong and Hong Seongmoon. It is said that among the Wolgwangdae members, there are some who want to learn Hongseong Shingong. I would like to formally propose an exchange meeting.”

“Uh. But, with the apprentice’s permission…”

“I received it.”

Chaejin quickly took out a piece of paper. The letter with the apprentice’s seal had the words “Exchange Meeting Proposal” clearly written on it.

“Apprentice….!! That guy!!”

“You can’t miss a good opportunity to improve your students’ skills. I was sorry that we went alone last time. How are the Moonlight Team members’ skills?”

“Great.”

“Okay. In that case, as Hong Seong-moon’s long-time writer, I will give permission.”

The two who usually growled worked together to block the Sword Saint.

It was nothing else but an exchange meeting to improve the students’ skills, and it was true that the students’ skills needed to be improved further in preparation for that.

That’s why Geomseong looked at me sullenly.

“Hahaha… You should just accept this.”

It’s not that I don’t like Geomseong staying in my guesthouse.

We have escaped the clutches of the Iron Blood Order, and the Demonic Cult may be calm for the time being, but that does not mean it is the end.

If you can become stronger, you should become stronger.

“It won’t be that long.”

“Queuuu…”

Sword Saint also knew this, so in the end, after moaning for a while, she glared at Hongryeon and Chaejin.

“We’ll see…!”

“Hehehe.”

“Hohoho.”

I’m glad that the three of them seem to get along so well.

“Still, I want you to stay with me today.”

Geomseong quickly said that he couldn’t give up on this much, and I smiled and nodded at her.

“You should do at least that much. Because the burden that had been weighing on my shoulders for a long time has disappeared. It’s natural to celebrate it. Hongryeon. I wish Hong Seong-moon’s disciples would also celebrate together…”

“Hehe. Thank you for your words, but it seems difficult right now. There’s a lot to organize and a lot to check. And I think everyone will be busy today to prepare certificates and gifts for the guests who came today.”

“I see. It’s a pity. Well then, let’s do it together next time. Would it be okay in about three days?”

“That’s enough.”

Normally, when the editor changes, it takes up to a month to sort out the confusion, but she calmly said that this is enough for her.

and. It’s amazing too.

“Then let’s see what happens then… Sojeo Chae. Are you…”

“Ah! Of course you should participate!”

“What does participation mean? We have a lot to do too, right? You also have a lot to do to sort out the change in Hong Seong-moon’s name and prepare for the exchange meeting.”

“Oh?! But!”

“And I will understand for today.”

When Chae-ryeon defended herself, Geom-seong’s eyes sparkled.

“No way. That guy raised his child very well. Please continue to be friends with our Sayoon.”

“Ahaha…”

“And is there anything you need?”

“I’ll tell you later. ruler. Then we will leave, so have a good time.”

“Aaaah… let go…!”

“Noisy.”

In the end, Chae-ryeon dragged Chae-jin down, and Hong-ryeon, who was watching them, held Geomseong’s hand tightly.

“I always believe in Master.”

“Haha. of course. A disciple should trust his teacher, but who should he trust?”

It’s very noble of you to say, don’t beat a player. I laughed at Hongryeon’s cute jealousy and she looked at me with a pout on her face.

“Nothing serious will happen, so don’t worry.”

“Hehe. Then I will believe it.”

After finishing the story, I went down Hongseongsan Mountain with Geomseong. Hongseong Mountain, which was so crowded earlier, was now very quiet.

Geomsung was not saying anything as he went down the mountain path.

“foot. Hehehe. Hehehe…”

“Do you like it that much?”

I couldn’t stop laughing.

“It’s something I’ve always thought about. I hope that someone who is more talented, smarter, and has more qualities as a writer than me will become Hong Seong-moon’s writer. It hasn’t finally come true. So how can you hold back your laughter?”

“Haha. okay. Congratulations.”

“Hmm. So today I’m going to drink a lot of celebratory liquor. So we need to stay together. Do you understand?”

Geomseong, who was pampering me by poking my cheek with his finger, playing with my lips, gently hugging my arm and leaning on my shoulder, smiled brightly.

When I arrived at the guesthouse like that.

“You’re coming so late.”

“I was drinking first. Should I have a drink today? Baby. Will you join too??”

“Okay. come. It’s been a while since I had a drink.”

She frowned at the offer of a drink from the two adepts who took her seat.
