Whenever three people gather in the Central Plains martial arts world, there is a story that always comes up.

-Who are the three best people in the world?

The third person in the world.

It may sound absurd and you may wonder if it is really necessary to choose one, but since the two people above are so unwavering, the conversation ends up going back and forth about the third person in the world.

-The best in the world is the swordsman.

Blacksmith Mo Yongcheon.

This is beyond dispute.

Because he subdued Cheonma, who claimed to be the best in the world at the time and actually showed that side of himself.

So who is the best in the world?

-Coincidentally, Cheonmaji.

Every thousand.

This is also beyond dispute.

Because Cheonma was defeated by Geomseong, not by the martial arts world or the government.

Once the absolute ruler is defeated, those below him will begin to rebel or be greedy one by one.

However, Cheonma suppressed all rebellions of the Demonic Cult.

What about the coffin then?

Even though Tian Shan is very far to the west, even further than Qinghai Province where Kunlun Sect is located, would the government remain silent when so many of its soldiers have been killed?

I had no choice but to stay still.

After the defeat of Cheonma, the Lord of Cheonghae Castle disobeyed the imperial order and led 20,000 elite soldiers to attack Cheonma, but was once again annihilated by Cheonma alone.

Some say that the tail of the Lord of Cheonghae was cut off in the palace, and others say that the palace’s military personnel were included in the Lord of Cheonghae’s punitive force, but the truth is unknown.

However, although Cheonma has shown off his overwhelming power, he seems to be having difficulty rebuilding the organization in many ways, and the current reality is that the Demonic Cult is slowly declining.

That’s why, whenever these three people with ties to the martial arts world gathered together, they would immediately start talking about who would be the next successor to Geomseong and Cheonma.

Some people cited the Shaolin monks.

Some people have cited the female attendants of the palace.

Someone else mentioned the inspection of Haedong Geomgak.

Others cited the Taoist monk of the Habuk Peng family, the sword master of the Namgung Se family, or the wise Taoist monk of the Mudang faction.

Since the leader of the martial arts world was firmly established as one of the ten best martial artists in the world, the rankings of those above him were bound to fluctuate from 3rd to 9th place.

But that was all people had doubts about, and there was no way to actually know.

When will the experts of the current situation fight each other again?

When they reached that level, there was no need to hurt each other’s feelings, and since they knew their positions as adults in the martial arts world, they did not act rashly.

If you want to re-establish the rankings, you can guess the rankings by gradually defeating the new high-level players from the bottom, one by one, like breaking a dojo, with the new high-level players appearing among the later indexes.

I heard someone fought a young woman and won.

I heard that someone fought with the sword and lost.

In that case, it is natural that Yeocheong would be considered inferior to Geomhu.

If not, there would be no way to know their rank unless the parties fought directly.

If that’s not the case, then no.

“The criminal’s eyes can’t catch up.”

I went to the place where the commotion happened, but all I saw was sparks created by two swords of different colors clashing.

Just like fireworks in an unarmed space, the clash between the two martial arts masters was an overwhelming battle that was invisible to my eyes.

“…….”

Mo Yong-seol, standing next to me, was clearly following the fight between the two with his eyes.

Whether it was because he walked the path of the sword or because he was so talented, Murong Xue was watching the two Xianjing masters duel with their swords with his own eyes.

A quick attack that the culprit cannot see.

But within it, I could hear clearly.

“You’re being rude…!”

“No!”

Even if you are a master of the current situation, when you are having a conversation or speaking, you may speak a little faster than usual.

“You should be ashamed, Black!”

“It’s Sword Hee, Senior!”

“Twice as old as me!”

“I’m seventeen, half younger than you, senior!”

I could clearly hear the two men talking as they exchanged swords.

So thanks to that, I was able to guess well how the two ended up together.

“You didn’t accept it.”

As Geomseong said, the Imperial Swordsman Yeocheong poured cold water on Geomhu’s ‘sword play’.

When everyone in the Murong family thought of Geomhee as the secret disciple of Geomhou and brainwashed themselves, only the Imperial Sword’s First Sword, Yeocheong, revealed Geomhee’s true identity and brought shame upon herself.

Perhaps the reason why he started the fight in the first place was-

“It was unpleasant that a swordsman stronger than him had turned younger through the half-life transformation, but he was also angry because he was shown an ugly appearance.”

As the swordsman said, it was because jealousy was triggered.

It made some sense that Geom-hu was stronger than Yeo-cheong, and it was understandable that he felt jealous.

The only thing I can’t understand is the urgency and impatience I can sense in their voices –

“Father.”

“Yeah, Seol-ah.”

“In my opinion, it seems like Geomhee… is losing against Yeocheong?”

And as Mo Yongseol could see with his own eyes, Geomhee was clearly being pushed by Yeocheong.

“Isn’t Geomhee’s sword skills…better? And her talent too.”

“That’s right.”

“Could it be because of the extreme positive energy…?”

“You could say it’s because of the physical changes caused by the extreme yang ring, but you can’t say that the extreme yang ring is the direct cause.”

The blacksmith turned his eyes towards me.

“Rep. Seok. You must know the reason. The reason why Geumhee is being pushed.”

“……Even if they’re pushed back now, if they fight a week later, Geomhee will win. Because Geomhee is weak now.”

Although the person was not visible, I occasionally caught a glimpse of a slightly subtle expression as he straightened his posture or stopped walking.

“I heard that female masters can’t show their best skills when they are suffering from menstrual cramps.”

“That’s it.”

Geomhee suffered an internal injury.

That internal injury is the root of why Yeo-cheong is being pushed around and why Yeo-cheong is indignant.

“I think it will be difficult if I leave it any longer-”

“I—know!!”

Khoo-woog!

Between the two female swordsmen’s duel, a huge strike struck like lightning, accompanied by a loud noise.

“What are you doing now!!”

“Ugh, Emperor…!”

The Emperor intervened.

Even though his hair, which was as lush as a cloud, swayed in the dust and shock waves, and some of his hair was cut off and fluttered by the sharp blast of the two swordsmen, Do-hwang paid no attention.

“What are you doing in such a careless manner in front of your juniors!”

Even if it’s cut, it’s still plentiful.

“Yeongcheong, put down your sword! And you too!”

“…….”

“Come on!”

The two people retreat at the emperor’s rebuke.

Then, both of them started to look at Do-hwang with complicated gazes.

As if he couldn’t understand why Do-hwang looked so fine, like he was fine except for his hair being slightly cut and fluttering.

“Senior, you’ve gotten stronger too.”

The blacksmith muttered briefly.

“Did you gain enlightenment while regaining your self-esteem?”

“…….”

“The effects of the extreme positive energy are shown in various places.”

Although Do-Hwang’s martial arts skills may have been relatively low compared to the two before, he may have regained the vigor of his youth by regaining his hair.

Both the Emperor and the Emperor of Geom have changed so much from before.

As someone who was sent by the palace to inspect the Murong family, there was no way that Yeo-cheong, who had the best insight, would not know about it.

“Yeongcheong Gong.”

“…Black.”

“Calm down, and won’t you have a detailed conversation with me and Assemblyman Seok in the courtyard? For now, please bear with me and Do-hwang.”

When Geomseong sent a sharp gaze at Geomhee, Geomhee hesitated and stepped back, lowering her head.

“I’m sorry. I have to stop because of the pain.”

“So, what I’m saying is… ”

I understand.

For some, menstrual cramps that come after decades can be a blessing and a happiness, but for others, they may be distressed by the pain not coming when it is supposed to, and may cry and sob in places where no one can see.

“Follow me, Yeo-cheong. And have Assemblyman Seok and Seol-i follow too.”

Geomseong sorted out the situation and invited Yeocheong, who was somewhat genuine, to the inner garden of the manor.

* * *

A little later.

“The timing wasn’t very good. Sometimes, when the inspector is being reckless, I can’t handle it. Please understand.”

“…It’s okay. It’s not something you should apologize for. I don’t know what kind of miracle happened to the old man, but it’s wrong for him to act rashly without thinking about his age.”

Yeocheong answered Geomseong in a calm voice.

But Yeo-cheong’s momentum was still sharp, and at the same time, she did not take her intense gaze away from me.

“Ugh….”

Even though Mo Yong-seol was clinging to me and raising his gaze towards Yeo-cheong, he was holding on tightly to me, gritting his teeth at the sincere warning and momentum of Hyeon-gyeong Go-su.

me?

“Rep. Seok.”

To me, this young woman in front of me just looks like a ‘patient’.

“Treatment of the nine-syllable pulse, recovery from the half-life, and recovery from hair loss. Up to this point, I can understand. However… the fact that menstrual pain occurred when the person who had the test became the person who had the test, means that the person has a body that can give birth to a child.”

How would the person who desperately hoped for that feel when he or she sees someone in the same situation, even if not with the same illness, get a miracle after being prescribed medicine?

“I would like you to give me a clear answer to what this young woman thinks. Representative Seok.”

“Before I answer, there is one thing I really want to ask you.”

“What is it?”

Fortunately, the female student treated me as a member of parliament.

In that case, as a doctor who cures illnesses, I just treat patients with sincerity.

“Do you wish to regain your body so that you can have children, or do you wish to regain your body so that you can carry and raise a child in your womb?”

“That’s how you answer.”

Yeo-cheong put one hand on her chest.

“I do not wish for the injured lower abdomen to be healed as an unmanned person.”

The woman’s abdomen was attacked, and her lower abdomen was partially damaged along with her child-bearing organs.

“I’m sorry to say this to the royal family, but I’d rather lose all my martial arts skills.”

What is it that a being who rose to the rank of Imperial Sword with the power of the middle and upper tens despite having some of his lower tens damaged, is trying to gain by giving up martial arts?

“I just want to have a child for my beloved husband. Not by adopting another concubine’s child, but by giving birth to a child of my own.”

“I understand!”

At Yeo-cheong’s words, Murong Seol jumped up and shouted.

“Congressman!”

“The decision has been made.”

I stood up from my seat and bowed to the swordsman.

“Since Lady Mo Yong has given permission, I will do my best to treat Lady Yeocheong.”

Since he is a member of the royal family, he won’t be treated by a martial arts doctor?

“If a miracle happens, it must be because the God of Medicine made it happen based on Yeo-cheong Gong’s earnest wish and love.”

That’s not a congressman.

“I will make it happen.”
