Since it was too late to leave, I decided to stay at Murimmaeng for the day.

When I was about to make a small donation to the Murim Alliance to buy a gift, Sayun came next to me.

“Where are you going?”

“I have to see you for a moment. What about you?”

“I also want to take a short walk.”

“Really? Then, let’s go together.”

As we talked briefly and were about to walk away, we heard footsteps heading towards the garden where we were.

“Hehe. Siju Yu. Where are you going?”

The owner of the relaxed voice was Shinseung. I wondered if the Murim Lord could walk around like that, but he just smiled empty-handed.

“I’m planning to go to Gwibojeon.”

“Hmm. When you say Gwibojeon, you are talking about a place that sells souvenirs. Do you have something to buy?”

“Haha. yes. There are some things that can only be obtained from the Murim Alliance…”

It was the same in Heavenly Moon. There were costumes and items that could only be obtained from the Murim Alliance. In general, the products sold by Murimmaeng had good performance, so everyone used them well.

“Then go. I will guide you.”

“You must be busy…”

“Haha. The other people in the team are working hard, so what do I have to do? If you just do a good job of welcoming guests, other people will like it too.”

He spoke leisurely while rolling the prayer beads. Well then, let’s accept the favor.

“Would you like to go with us?”

“Yes. thank you Lord Maeng.”

Is it because of his position as the Murim Lord? Sayoon walked with a stiff expression, as if she was slightly nervous. Shinseung smiled at her and calmly continued speaking.

“Anyway, it looks like the buyer is worried about something.”

“Um… yes.”

“About martial arts?”

Sayun nodded slightly, and Shinseung twitched his white eyebrows as if he was surprised.

“There are so many superhumans around you, but you are considering martial arts yourself. You are great.”

“Ahaha… Master or Master Hongryeon. And you can ask Chaejin… but I still want to try it on my own.”

“The mindset to move forward on one’s own is admirable.”

“Thank you. Uncle.”

A smile appears on Sayun’s face. Shinseung, who looked at Sayoon and me alternately, spoke with a much softer expression.

“Living alone is wandering in the dark. There is nothing to be afraid of if there is a light that illuminates the way forward.”

“Um…”

“There are many people who can brighten the donor’s future path. The same goes for Lord Yu, who is right next to me.”

“How can I be of help since I know very little about martial arts? Haha.”

“They say there is something to be learned from even a five-year-old child on the street, but how can the path suggested by Seonja Shinsan be said to be the words of someone who does not know martial arts?”

“Yes. Your teachings really help me a lot.”

When Sayun spoke with a wide smile, a part of my heart felt proud. Because this proves that what I and we have done so far has not been wrong.

I patted Sayoon’s head and she smiled brightly.

“This is Gwibojeon.”

There were already several Murim people at Gwibojeon, where those who came to the Murim League came to purchase goods.

As I was looking at their faces, I tilted my head.

“Hmm? Are you…”

“What is it? June. Is it you? And… oh. You are the junior who defeated this one-eyed dragon.”

The One-Eyed Dragon Myojae was standing there. She recognized Sayun and I and came over, but when she saw Shinseung standing behind us, she moaned.

“Kek.”

“Hehe. Donating to the grave. Long time no see?”

“Grunt.”

“I heard that the Ministry of Defense is very busy… The Minister of Defense is also busy. But is it okay for the couple to walk around like this?”

“Oh, no, I came to buy a gift. Gift.”

Myojae hurriedly held up what was in his hand. Well packaged decorations and a few daggers. Shinseung, who was watching, laughed empty-handedly again, and Myojae scratched his cheek.

“The assistant manager gave instructions. I have to go to the Murim League branch in Seomhwaseong Province soon, so don’t go empty-handed.”

“What brings you to Island Hwaseong?”

“To celebrate. Anyway, I’ve known Hongryeon and Chaejin for a long time, and it’s something I can’t ignore… And the vice-lord also said he would send a separate gift. ah. And I heard that the Namgung family has something to send you?”

“Is that so?”

“How about asking your assistant manager for more details? Anyway, that’s enough for me!!”

As she was watching Shinseung’s thoughts, she just said what she had to say and quickly disappeared. Shin Seung, who was chanting Buddhist prayers and rolling rosary beads while watching this, looked at the people sneaking out and sighed as he watched them.

“Being strong and rising to the top is also a lonely thing.”

“Hmm… Master, Ambassador Hongryeon, and Chaejin didn’t look that way…”

“Hehe. That may be because there is a special person named Lord Yu.”

“Is that so?”

Sayun’s eyes are warm. Feeling the back of my neck itching for no reason, I approached the middle-aged woman who owned Gwibojeon.

“Hello.”

“Welcome. I never thought I would meet the famous monk Shinsan.”

I greeted her politely and looked at the items hanging on the wall.

You must be able to enter the Murim Alliance through a special event, and you must have a certain level of fame and a high level of intimacy with the Murim Alliance to be able to purchase items from the Murim Alliance’s treasure trove.

Even in the bright moon of heaven, it wasn’t easy to purchase items from the Murim Alliance’s Guibojeon, but I felt like it was possible for me now.

“Are you looking to buy a gift?”

“Yes. Can I take a look?”

“Of course.”

She calmly unfolded the items. Costume designs, weapon manufacturing methods, and even healing potions and accessories such as bracelets and anklets.

While I was choosing things that could be used as gifts, I turned my eyes to Sayoon.

“Why are you doing this?”

“Ah. That one…”

What she was staring at was a set of clothes hanging on the wall. I sighed while looking at it.

It was a ‘hyeopsa’, one of the costumes of the Murim Alliance and one of the costumes that fit Sayoon well in the bright moon of heaven.

A beautiful piece of clothing that looks like a kind of China dress.

When making it, you can specify various colors, and it is quite pretty, so it was very popular in Heavenly Moon.

“Do you want it? If it’s Hongryeon, you can make it. It’s a bit complicated to get the ingredients, but…”

“Um…”

It’s not that there was no exposure, but as it follows CheonSangmyeongWol’s worldview, other clothes were generally exposed, and people didn’t think it was strange.

No, in the first place, there are many more obscene things among the conquests of the Black Lotus and other sects, so why not?

I suggested with a smile, but Sayun, who was staring at the clothes, shook her head.

“No.”

And then he smiled.

“Mr. This isn’t a place where anyone can come in, right?”

“What… right?”

Of course, Sayun defeated Myojae and became known, but she did not have enough fame to be able to enter the Murim Alliance.

Also, I don’t have a relationship with the Murim Alliance to the point where I can purchase items from Gwibojeon.

“I want to get that myself.”

“Uh. Is it really burdensome for me to do it or something?”

“That’s not true. But… um. I just want to do that.”

So what can I say? I just nodded slightly and Sayoon stared at the Hyeopsa sample again.

Shinseung, who was looking at me and Sayoon alternately, smiled slightly and spoke leisurely.

“If you’ve bought everything you need, would you like some tea? If you don’t mind, I’d like to invite other people as well.”

“Ah. yes. Let’s do that.”

I bought everything I could buy as a gift. I headed to my room with the items in the box and ran into Chaejin who was waiting in the room.

“Where have you been?”

“I went to Gwibojeon for a moment. I came all the way to the Murim League, but I didn’t want to go empty-handed, so I brought some gifts.”

“Aha. Now then…”

“The leader said he wanted to have a cup of tea. Would you like to come with me? No, let’s go together. Hyeonhwi and Sayun too.”

“Hehe. Yes.”

I had tea with Shinseung and talked about the wedding and what to do after marriage.

In addition to what Geomseong did not long ago.

Shinseung listened quite carefully, and when it was time to leave the next day, he came out to see us off and spoke seriously.

“I hope that Lord Yoo will continue to negotiate. We also know righteousness and cooperation, so we will ensure that no problems arise.”

“Haha. All right. Don’t worry too much. And thank you always.”

“Tree Amitabha Buddha. And since the way back might be a little dangerous… I decided to provide an escort.”

“You don’t have to do that.”

“Please do not decline. It is also something that came directly from the Ministry of Justice.”

As soon as he spoke, armed warriors of the Murim Alliance came out. Leading them was a face I knew.

“Long time no see.”

“It’s been a while.”

Namgung Seongyul.

He was the deputy head of the Murim Alliance’s Defense Department and the head of the organization that had regained its power after allying with the Inspection Department.

And, although he was a collateral of the Namgung family, he was also a famous person.

“I heard the story of Lord Taesang.”

“Is that so?”

“Hmm. Thanks to this, the Namgung family will grow even bigger.”

“Haha. I hope so.”

“Anyway, we will escort you to Seomhwaseong Fortress, so Mr. Yu and the others can ride comfortably in the carriage.”

“I have to go a little fast so the carriage is a bit…”

If you want to meet the wedding date, you’ll have to ride hard. When I looked confused, he chuckled and shook his head.

“Haha. Don’t worry, this carriage is the Ministry of Defense’s carriage and it doesn’t move at all compared to riding on horseback.”

Was there something like that in the Ministry of Defense? I looked at Chaejin and she nodded slightly.

“In that case.”

We got on the carriage right away. Is it because it’s a new carriage? The interior was large and comfortable, with enough room for four people.

“And…”

Before closing the door, he thought for a moment and smiled at me.

“Congratulations on your marriage. The Namgung family has decided to send a separate gift, so please do not hesitate.”

If you give it to me, I should accept it gratefully.

It seems like there are a lot of things to accumulate in just one event.
