Lee Sam, the village councilor, was yawning in the seclusion when he was startled by Namgung So-yeon who came out of nowhere.

When the sword-wielding warrior told him to look at the person, he felt In-ho’s pulse in a very scared state.

Lee Sam, who observed his condition, explained that he had a fever and that he needed to rest for two to three days.

“There’s a long way to go… Can I carry you on my back?”

“If you don’t mind arriving as a corpse, then so be it.”

“Can I stay here?”

She quickly changed her stance and handed out the money, and Lee Sam opened a room and guided them to it.

” Confucius Kang, cheer up.”

Next to In-ho, who was making a weak sound of pain, Namgung So-yeon wiped his forehead with a wet towel and said.

Perhaps thanks to the herbal medicine prescribed by Lee Sam, In-ho’s breathing stabilized and his sweating decreased.

Namgung So-yeon, who was watching his stomach rise and fall, opened the door and came out into the yard of the medical room.

– Hwiik

When I put two fingers to my mouth and made a sound, a white fowl flew in from afar, clapping.

“There is no way the spirit demon will stay still just because you told it not to follow… If you can’t resist the chase, the only way is to call someone here.”

Namgung So-yeon, who sent a letter to his colleagues on the Yunnan front, looks around.

“I know it’s hiding there. Come out.”

I tried talking to someone, but there was no answer.

The only sound I could hear was Lee Sam brushing his hair in the distance.

“Ehehe, I tried it just in case. Looks like it doesn’t exist.”

Biting her tongue slightly, she scratched her head a few times in embarrassment and went back to her room.

On a tree a little far away.

“……”

Yeongma, who had tensed his whole body at Namgung Soyeon’s call, sighed in relief and muttered.

“The brain… Sometimes, it looks like the head is made of muscles.”

– Throbbing

An unpleasant sensation is felt in the abdomen, and pain rushes through you.

The internal injuries she suffered had not yet recovered.

“I’ll just have to keep watch here for the time being.”

***

The White Tigers of the Murim Alliance.

This is an organization where promising young leaders who will lead the political faction in the future are gathered here.

They were facing off in Yunnan with the forces of the Demonic Cult who were advancing toward the Murim Alliance.

Recently, the forces of the Demonic Cult, led by the Sword Demon, began to move in earnest, and those in charge of the front lines were so busy that they could not even bat an eye.

Meanwhile, Noegeom’s letter made them worry.

– If Noegeom is serious enough to send a letter like this, shouldn’t he send reinforcements?

She left alone on a mission to assassinate Cheonma, but it was already a failure as Cheonma was seen on the Yunnan front.

She clearly said she would join Yunnan, but even they, who had been together for a long time, did not know why she was in Sacheon.

– You said you were protecting someone who ran away from the Demonic Cult. You don’t really know what kind of person he is, do you? Due to the nature of the brain sword, the possibility that it may have saved ordinary people should not be ignored.

Opinions of the White Tigers were divided between those who should and should not be sent to Sacheon, and after intense discussion, an opinion was reached that two White Tigers and 20 regular troops should be taken.

So four days later.

A village in Sacheon that I arrived at after running all night.

Namgung So-yeon greeted colleagues she hadn’t seen in a long time with socks.

“Yes, Noegeom. Who on earth were you thinking of calling in the White Tigers to protect?”

As Namgung So-yeon’s cheeks stretched out and the girl from the Tang family shot out, Namgung So-yeon clapped her hands and introduced In-ho behind her.

The expressions of the twenty colleagues and subordinates of the Baekho Unit who heard his introduction became increasingly hard.

After Namgung So-yeon’s words ended, Dang’s daughter-in-law let out a deep sigh.

“Ha… Brain sword. Currently, it is difficult to maintain the front line in Yunnan due to the Sword Demon’s offensive. But they call in major forces just to protect the general public.”

“But… If he runs away from the Demonic Cult and the Spiritual Demon chases him, isn’t he an important person?”

Namgung So-yeon spoke in a voice that was not friendly to the atmosphere.

“A spirit demon chases an ordinary person who has not learned even a single martial arts skill? It’s such a strange situation.”

“Umm…”

“I think it would be more reasonable to think of it as a trick by the Demonic Cult to place spies in the Murim Alliance.”

“Be careful what you say. Prince Kang is not a spy for the Demonic Cult.”

When the atmosphere of accusing In-ho of being a spy began to arise, Namgung So-yeon stopped him.

However, despite her strong claims, the suspicion that had bloomed did not seem to subside.

“The world is not as beautiful as Noegeom thinks. Come out. I’ll have this guy interrogated.”

Pushing Namgung So-yeon away, Dangga Yeosik’s hand touched In-ho’s collar.

No, I tried to reach it.

“!!!!”

In a sudden panic, I withdrew the hand that was reaching out to Inho.

“Who are you!”

As if occupying the space, life spread out and filled the room.

The sound of footsteps on the dirt floor can be heard from afar.

– Jeopuk Jeopuk

Above a small fence made of fir trees, a woman can be seen.

Everyone’s eyes widen at the sight of her.

“All you are!”

Eventually, the woman standing in front of the door of the medical room furrowed her brows when she saw the crowd surrounding In-ho.

The intangible energy is weighing them down.

Everyone in the room was thrown to the ground, and Namgung So-yeon resisted the force and held on.

“??”

And In-ho, who was not affected by any energy, looked around in confusion and made eye contact with the woman.

“Ah….”

Brief eye contact. A deep smile appeared on the woman’s lips.

“Found it.”

Exhaling excitedly, the Heavenly Demon said so.
