When two masters of martial arts decide to run wild, it’s already closer to a natural disaster.

If two peerless swordsmen, who have formed a family with swords, fight each other, the radius of the sword fight that is formed will be as much as several dozen swords.

It goes without saying that even the most skilled practitioners would have a hard time surviving in there.

If people are like that, it is only natural that the surrounding buildings and objects would be reduced to rubble. However, the Cheongryongpyo Kingdom was never reduced to rubble.

“Gasp, gasp, oh, I almost died… … .”

Cheongyeon clutched her chest, leaned against the pillar, and breathed heavily.

It was unbelievable that a master of her caliber would be out of breath. It must be proof that she really used all her might, mustering up all her energy to avoid all attacks.

“… … .”

On the other hand, Yu Ye-hyang was still looking down at Cheongyeon with cold eyes, so the surroundings were a somewhat normal sight, except for the slight aftereffects of her raising the level of her magic to the extreme.

Since there was no collision, there were no traces of destruction.

“Oh, it’s better than I thought.”

And during the not-so-short period in which Cheongyeon devoted herself to dodging Yu Yehyang’s attacks with all her might, Yeonjin, who had finished unpacking and organizing her luggage, let out a soft exclamation.

I expected it to be a mess, a total destruction.

To this extent, it could be said that it was a good sight, but as Yeonjin calmly unpacked her luggage and came out, the words that she blurted out made Cheongyeon’s round eyes filled with resentment.

“You! How could you go in with your face hidden when I called you like that! I called you like that! Stop me! It’s not that hard to talk, how could you!”

“Even if you say that to me… … .”

Actually, it’s a bit difficult. Yeonjin, who swallowed her words, shrugged her shoulders with an expression that showed no apology at all.

A master of great skill who is in a position that is beyond imagination. However, such dignity and prestige had long since been thrown into the gutter.

“What’s so hard about saying a word? If you had stopped me, even the cult leader would have listened… … .”

“Are you still hungry? Stop tormenting poor Jin-ah and go away. Jin-ah, you come here.”

As Cheongyeon trailed off with a gloomy voice, Yu Ye-hyang dismissed her with a sharp voice in contrast. Then, as she gestured for Yeonjin to hide behind her, Cheongyeon let out a sigh.

“Love is a scary thing. I never thought that the leader of the cult would show such a behavior. Just look at the way his voice became softer when he called that friend.”

Cheongyeon muttered and straightened her disheveled clothes.

These were traces of Yu Ye-hyang trying to avoid the half-sincere killing. In contrast to her, Yu Ye-hyang was fine, without any disturbance in her demeanor.

Cheongyeon gestured with a weak voice.

“Now let’s talk about something constructive. Come inside, both of you.”

After the heated atmosphere, mainly due to Cheongyeon’s cube equation, had calmed down to some extent, Cheongyeon, sitting in the seat of the leader, brought out some warm tea.

“Explain in more detail. Stop spouting off your nonsense again.”

“That’s too much. I’m sure I said something really cool, but instead of being impressed by my eloquence, you attacked me with the intention of killing me.”

Cheongyeon grumbled and let out a loud noise at Yu Ye-hyang’s words, which cut straight to the point.

Although Yeonjin was waiting quietly, not in a position to say a word or two, she tilted her head.

No matter how you look at it, it doesn’t look like he’s worth his age at all. As I thought before, he doesn’t have the dignity of a peerless master.

Up until now, the only masters I’ve met at a similar level are Yu Ye-hyang and Cheong-yeon, but maybe it’s because they’re a bit different from what I imagined.

Regardless, Cheongyeon coughed loudly and opened her mouth.

“Of course, your movements were reported to the school.”

“Did you follow the girl?”

Yu Ye-hyang’s expression immediately frowned.

It’s not like he moved that fast to keep up with Yeonjin’s pace, but he really was following him from outside his own area of influence.

As soon as the discomfort appeared on her face, Cheongyeon waved her hand.

“No, how could that be? I didn’t follow him, I just secured his path. No matter what, the leader of the Great Heavenly Demon Sect came out without any proper escort, so I couldn’t just let him go. I had to follow protocol.”

“You’re talking about protocol. In the first place, it’s harder to meet your opponent in the Central Plains, so do you have time to leisurely discuss such things?”

“Aside from that, the school was quite noisy because of what you did in Sacheon. Oh, don’t get me wrong. It wasn’t a problem that you killed a few trash guys, but that Dongcheon Sword King bastard caused a mess.”

“You’re trying to get rid of the empty feelings, but what does that have to do with us? Can you even find it in the first place?”

Cheongyeon clapped her hands and responded to Yu Ye-hyang’s words, which were directed at Cheongseong.

“That’s right. Still, it’s not bad to be prepared. The leader didn’t have much to say, and Manoe was just going to put it on hold. As you know, the General Military Department doesn’t like having more work to do.”

“But?”

“But my strong argument! If it’s a factor escort, shouldn’t it be handled by our court of guardians? Besides, if an emergency were to occur, we would need to send out considerable experts from the court of guardians to help you.”

Cheongyeon, who had come this far and was speaking quickly, smiled faintly.

It was the kind of smile that made it seem like a little girl was up to something because of her appearance.

But Yu Ye-hyang’s return reaction was serious.

“If you say that you came out to the Central Plains to get some fresh air after a long time, I will continue what I couldn’t finish earlier. It’s not a matter of life and death. ”

“No! The defense court is already short on manpower, so what if they draft such a skilled person? Of course, as the head of the defense court, I, a great law firm, should personally take charge of this matter!”

“… … How is the court’s work?”

“I left everything to the left-wing law.”

Cheongyeon answered with a bright smile.

“Oh.”

Yeonjin, who had been listening silently, let out a soft exclamation of admiration. And then she was convinced.

It wasn’t that Cheongyeon didn’t have the skills to live up to her age. It was just that her head was definitely like a flower garden. It was to the point where I couldn’t figure out whether the head that learned martial arts was a separate thing, or how she even got to that level.

After rubbing her throbbing forehead, Yu Ye-hyang managed to utter a few words.

“Ma-noe must have really liked it.”

“How did you know? As you know, Manoe and I are close. He asked me several times if I really had to go, because he didn’t want to send his friend away. However, since the religious affairs are important, I earnestly declined and came all the way to Ye in person. Hehehe!”

Cheongyeon burst into a hearty laugh that didn’t match her appearance.

“I don’t think that’s what it meant… … .”

Regardless of whether Yeonjin muttered or not, Cheongyeon, who had been laughing alone for a long time, suddenly stopped laughing. And unlike a moment ago, her sharp gaze turned to Yeonjin.

“Well, that’s all for now… … This is the first time I’ve seen you in person, despite all the rumors about you.”

“Was I known to be a rumor?”

“Why didn’t I know?” Yeonjin answered with the same expression.

But Cheongyeon nodded vigorously.

“Of course. There was a rumor going around that the leader of the cult, who had been treating men like stone, was crazy about one guy. Well, it died down when he found out he was a disciple.”

“Don’t talk nonsense.”

Yu Ye-hyang frowned, crossing her arms without even touching the teacup.

Regardless, Cheongyeon seemed excited and started spouting out her characteristically fast-paced words again.

“Looking at it this way, you do have a face value. As I said before, I’m quite interested in stories about men and women. You have the kind of face that older women would like.”

“This is the first time I’ve heard of that.”

Yeonjin replied, sipping her teacup.

Since it was a light atmosphere rather than dealing with the great guardian method of the Cheonmasingyo, Yeonjin was able to speak quite comfortably.

“The instructors told me not to worry. I told them that since my face was half-asleep, I should just smile and pour drinks, but this was the first time I received such an evaluation.”

Ugh.

Yu Ye-hyang ground her teeth slightly at the words that were said so casually.

When I return to school, I will definitely find the instructors who were in charge of the training at that time and tear them to pieces, tens of thousands of pieces. Even while making that grim pledge, Cheongyeon giggled as if she found it amusing.

“Well, if I may be being harsh, that may be true. Anyway, I came here and temporarily took on the title of Buntaju, but what else could I do? So for the time being, I plan on teaching you some martial arts. Have you learned anything else?”

“Even if I learned it separately… … I learned Donggong (動功) through the Yeokgeunseoseo-gyeong to protect my body, and other than that, I don’t think I have anything special. I mainly use a sword, and I learned the Muhonkyo sword, but before I was assigned anywhere, I became my sister’s disciple.”

“A first-class review, early peak. I see. I can tell just by looking at you that you are a swordsman who mainly uses swords, and your martial arts skills are probably around that level.”

Yeonjin took a sip of her tea and nodded her head in agreement.

Cheongyeon clapped her hands as if her heart was pounding.

“Okay, I have some work to do here. I don’t know how much time I’ll be spending here, but I’ve heard that you’re incredibly talented. Don’t worry, I’ll take responsibility and make you stronger.”

“Who cares?”

However, Yoo Ye-hyang poured cold water on Cheong-yeon’s excited mood.

Yu Ye-hyang, who had been silently listening to the conversation with her arms folded, raised her head crookedly and spoke in a voice as cold as frost.

“Jin-ah is the disciple of the main woman. Who is saying that she can teach martial arts as she pleases?”

“Shouldn’t you do your share of training too! You have to break the wall of extreme evil! If you stop me from teaching you to pass the time, what am I supposed to do? This is tyranny!”

Cheongyeon immediately puffed out her cheeks in discontent.

However, Yu Ye-hyang’s attitude did not change, so Yu Ye-hyang, who had been staring blankly at the sight, blurted out a word.

“Jin-ah has already learned the Heavenly Demonic Skill from the main woman. She is just now starting to set the stage, so don’t interfere and get in the way.”

“Phuuut!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Yeonjin turned her head away and spit out the tea from her mouth.
