The five people who will participate in the Cheon Seon Battle with Cheonmu Hakkwan were decided, and a week passed.

Pungwoon, me, Seolyeong, Jeongseon, and the second Gwando Namgunghyuk, who was defeated by me.

There were five people like this.

In conclusion, the senior jockey did not receive the right to participate.

Ironically, the person who grew the most during the past week was Poongwoon, who had already grown enough.

“So… While trying to catch a two-headed snake, I fell into a cliff and found an unknown cave, which was also the tomb of the Sword King of the past?”

“Yes, haha, it’s really a coincidence.”

Yes, it’s a coincidence.

In the inner circle of the spirit creature called the Two-Headed Warrior, the King of Swords’ martial arts level, and even the Thousand Year Hasuo in the tomb.

I had no choice but to admit that the main character of this martial arts story was Pungwoon.

What kind of martial arts magazine would think of giving two Giyeon at the same time?

I felt like the gap with Poongwoon had narrowed a lot, but now it’s completely gone.

“Unfortunately, I couldn’t find anything that could cure Seolyoung’s illness.”

I was hoping for more from there, as expected from a protagonist.

To put it simply, I had no conscience.

For reference, Seolyoung directly told the five people participating in the non-army combat and instructor Cheolwoong about Seolyoung’s illness.

Only then could I make Seolyoung understand that she couldn’t use Ice Ball.

It was an inevitable choice.

Anyway, Pungwoon’s performance was greater than I expected.

Just in case, I needed to master this solar mind method as soon as possible.

Since Poongwoon knew about Seolyeong’s illness, he didn’t know what kind of person he would meet and find a way to treat Seolyeong.

As always, after training with Poongwoon, I returned to the dorm and sighed.

I didn’t expect that the level of Taeyangsimbeop would not rise so easily even with Jeongseon by my side helping me.

Of course, I knew it well.

The growth rate so far has been strangely fast, and the current rate is normal.

Still, I was greedy.

“They say too much is too little, so even if you don’t rush your mind, you can achieve greatness within a year, right?”

Jeongseon, who heard my concerns, said that to me.

1 year.

If other martial artists had heard this, they would have all gaped.

It is said that Geukyang’s Neigongsimbeop was achieved in just one year.

But that wasn’t important to me.

[Remaining period: 2 months, 3 weeks]

I don’t know what this remaining deadline means.

Is this the period in which Poongwoon heals Seolyeong?

Or maybe it was the time when Seolyoung’s physical condition reached its worst.

If it’s the former, I don’t know, but if I think about the latter, I had to raise my level of meditation a little faster.

“…Did you learn that solar mind method because of Seolyoung?”

I nodded to Jeongseon’s sharp question.

Then Jeongseon’s mouth popped out.

“Everyone is infatuated with Seolyoung. …Is it because of the white skin and big breasts?”

There are a lot more than that, but those two are definitely the big ones.

“Seu-eup…”

After hearing Jeongseon’s words, I smiled bitterly.

If you’re a man, you can’t help but wonder why you’re in love with Seolyoung.

Since the wall is like that, it’s natural that they don’t understand it.

And then, a loud knock was heard outside the door.

But no one came to visit us when all work was over.

“…Instructor Cheolwoong?”

I called the name of the person with the least chance, but there was no response.

Instead of answering, the person on the other side of the door quickly inserted a note into the crack under the door and disappeared with the sound of hurried footsteps.

On this moonlit night, he gave me a neatly folded note and disappeared.

It was clearly a love letter or a threat.

Then Jeongseon calmly picked up the paper and started reading.

“Aha…”

Then he nodded with a strange smile.

“I found it, a way to raise the level of Taeyangsimbeop more quickly.”

“What? No, how?”

I asked, confused by Jeongseon’s words.

I’m sure the method was delivered to me through that note.

Who on earth delivered that note, and how did the person who delivered the note know how?

It was full of things I couldn’t understand.

Jeongseon smiled as if he was troubled and then asked me.

“…Okay, then I’ll tell you. Instead, everything we say from now on is our secret?”

“…”

I closed my mouth and nodded with a serious expression.

Then, Jeongseon seemed satisfied and spoke.

“I’ve actually been living in a back alley.”

back street?

A thief… or something from the open world?

Since I had no basic knowledge about this world, I tried to understand what Jeongseon meant with a puzzled expression.

“Have you heard of Giru?”

Stoma.

It was a place where women called courtesans entertained the guests by dancing or pouring drinks for them.

…Depending on the location, I did more sticky work.

“My mother was a courtesan belonging to Giru.”

It was a bit of a deep story.

Because I didn’t know that something like this would suddenly come up, I didn’t answer hastily and just calmly listened to Jeongseon’s words.

“Then my mother met my father, who was a famous expert, and gave birth to me.”

It seemed that the vast amount of internal strength was also inherited from the expert.

At first, I thought I would get out of trouble by meeting Go Soo.

I can’t let people know that a famous Taoist sect visited Giru and even gave birth to a child.

In the end, the story was that his mother had to take charge of him and raise him in Giru.

It is said that although there was support from his father, he could not see his face.

The only bond I had with my father was that I practiced the Neigong Shim method that my father gave me.

“…”

I looked a little distraught.

I had no idea how to react to this story.

It was even more difficult to react because Jeongseon’s expression was calm as he spoke.

My father’s support wasn’t limited to stipends or money.

Afterwards, for some reason, Rouge gave up her position to her mother, and her mother became Rouge, who runs Giru.

At the same time, it is said that with Rouge, another new job was created.

“…New jobs?”

Now that I am in the position of Rouge, do I really need a new job?

That was puzzling.

Then Jeongseon came up with an unexpected name.

“Yes, have you heard of Hao Mun?”

“…”

I heard it.

According to various martial arts magazines, it was an intelligence organization that had a lot of information comparable to the open one.

As with openness, it was an organization that used its position to listen to and collect information from various places, and to buy and sell information.

The difference was that Gyeonggi was made up of countless beggars, and Haomun was made up of the most undervalued professions.

Among them were coachmen, boatmen, Jeomsoy, porters, and courtesans.

Another difference from openness is that, compared to handling countless amounts of information, the force itself was not very strong.

Considering that there were a few experts with enormous military power who were part of the opening, the pure intelligence group was closer to Hao Moon.

There was another reason why Jeongseon’s martial arts skills were disappointing compared to his internal skills.

If he had learned martial arts from his father since he was young, or at least obtained a martial arts level, he might have been at Cheonmuhakgwan by now.

“Then the note is…”

“Yes, I received it from Hao Wen.”

“…How did it come all the way here and deliver it?”

“Haomun is everywhere.”

“…”

Those words didn’t feel like a lie at all.

“…Okay, what is a method?”

Now that I knew where the information came from, it was time to ask how to get it.

“What is your ideal type?”

“…suddenly?”

I didn’t think this timing was right, but I answered because they asked me that it was important for training in the solar mind method.

“What is your ideal type?”

“Woman.”

I answered Jeongseon’s question about my ideal type.

As if it wasn’t a very satisfactory answer, Jeongseon dug a little deeper.

“Are all women okay? Be specific and honest.”

“…If possible, a woman who likes someone else more than me.”

“Hmm… it’s difficult.”

It wasn’t a lie.

Because I have a strange tendency to get even more excited when I target women who like people other than me.

But, why is Jeongseon saying this to me?

“But I’m glad it’s not that difficult.”

Slurp.

I could hear the sound of fabric rubbing against skin.

It sounded like taking off clothes.

“What are you doing…!”

I was shocked and turned my head away.

I didn’t want to see a man taking off his clothes.

What, are you going to target me in exchange for information?

Cold sweat ran down my back.

“Previously, a master stopped by a certain giru. That expert must have had extreme endurance.”

I was saying something, but I couldn’t concentrate.

In between those words, there was the sound of clothes being taken off and a thud. And I could even hear the sound of clothes falling on the floor.

Should I subdue it by force?

“The person said. He said he came to Giru for training.”

“…For training?”

What does Giru and Suryun have to do with each other?

Was it simply an excuse to hang out with a girl?

perhaps…

Is the stoma a place full of yin?

No, it could perhaps be seen as a place where both yin and yang energy abounded.

Because I thought so.

It seemed like there was no better place to practice Geukyang’s inner gongsim technique.

…I don’t know what that has to do with suddenly taking off your clothes.

“The person said. Being sexually excited is a great help in training.”

“…are you sexually excited?”

“Yes, your own positive energy will be released and you will be able to contain more negative energy?”

“…I see.”

…Could it be that the reason you took off your clothes was to arouse me sexually?

Hearing those words made me even more afraid.

However, Jeongseon slowly approached me while I turned my head.

The sound of footsteps reached my ears.

Okay, let’s fight.

Jeongseon spoke when he was convinced that there was no other way.

“Now look, your ideal type.”

“…What?”

“Because I’m a woman, and I still like Instructor Cheolwoong a little more than you. Is that your ideal type?”

When I turned my head, I saw Jeongseon, whose chest was covered with a bandage, looking down at me sitting there.

Jeongseon, who took off her clothes, looked completely different from before.

The slender body and narrow waist depicted curves unique to women.

Yes, Jeongseon looks like a ‘woman’ right now.

At that moment, various emotions passed through my mind.

In the end, there was only one thing I did.

“…Phew…”

“…What, why are you sighing?”

Jeongseon might be upset, but this sigh was a sigh of relief that he was alive.
