“What is this…”

Nam Chae-hyun frowned as he looked at the mess. As he was grinding his teeth as if he couldn’t control his anger, Taoist monks approached him and stopped him. In the end, he sighed heavily and spoke calmly.

“Who was injured?”

“No. I almost got into big trouble because I missed one of the jiangshi, but fortunately, those people stopped me…”

Nam Chae-hyun’s eyes turned in this direction. He looked at me, tilted his head, and then asked.

“Huh. I’m sorry for not knowing you. My name is Nam Chae-hyeon, the owner of Changwoon Hall.”

“I am Yuwol, the guest of Seomhwachon.”

I gave him a thumbs up, and he looked puzzled for a moment and then sighed briefly.

“Huh. Please stay here.”

“Is there any problem?”

“No. nothing. Thank you so much for your help. If an innocent person was injured by their attack…”

Nam Chae-hyun stroked his white beard and sighed. And when I saw Hongryeon and Sayun next to me, I gave them a thumbs up as well.

“You also owe a debt to Hong Seong-moon. I would like to thank Nakilgeom.”

“No. Well, that could be it. It’s okay.”

“Hong Seong-moon does not receive compensation when he saves the powerless, but he knows that he receives compensation when he saves the powerful. We can’t just ignore this incident.”

After speaking clearly, he turned his eyes to the other warriors standing awkwardly.

As he approached and greeted me formally, I picked up the bell that the demonist had dropped earlier.

When I stared at it, Nam Chae-hyun was impressed.

“Hoo. You have eyes to see. That bell is a ghost. Used to control the ears.”

Sayoon was surprised by his words.

“If you control your ears… can you stop the ghosts of Hongseongsan Mountain?”

“Hahaha! The ghosts of Mt. Hongseong are famous. Well, even if not completely, it can be reduced to some extent.”

I held out the ghost to Hongryeon. As she tilted her head and looked at me blankly, I held out my ghost again and took her hand and placed it on top of her.

“What?”

“Take it. If it can be useful in Mt. Hongseong, it is better to use it.”

“Uh… but.”

“You were the one who actually caught the demon cultist.”

“Your words are correct in every detail. In the first place, it is right for the person who caught the trophy to take it.”

Not only Nam Chae-hyeon, but also the Taoists around me and even the martial arts people agreed with my opinion.

Although this ghost is a fairly precious item, it is true that if you make a mistake, you could have been in big trouble.

And it is also true that Hongryeon did the biggest job of catching the demonic cultists.

“If you do anything, I will clean it up. There may not be any magic in particular, but.”

“Uh…”

“Of course it’s not compensation. Compensation will be given separately.”

Nam Chae-hyeon spoke calmly and waved his hand at the monks. However, as the Taoist monks at Changwoon Pavilion began to remove the river poems and organize the corpses, Nam Chae-hyeon called us and Nam Gung-hwa’s group over there.

“Follow me.”

In Heavenly Moon, if you clear a repeat event like this, Nam Chae-hyun will come and personally give you a reward.

So I wasn’t particularly impressed, but Namgoonghwa and his group over there seem to be really excited.

I can’t hide the excitement from my face.

“Where am I?”

There was also an excited child next to me.

Hongryeon gently explained to Sayoon, who was looking around with a red face and wondering how to do it.

“This is the inner hall of Changwoon Hall. It’s a place where no one can enter.”

“Ambassador: Have you ever come in?”

“What am I? But you’re not that surprised, are you?”

I chuckled at Hongryeon’s gaze. I have been there a lot too. Of course, it was in the bright moon of heaven.

“Hmm… I’ve never seen you surprised before?”

“What. I’m a human too, so I’m surprised. But it’s just a building. What a great thing.

“Then what surprises you?”

“I would be very surprised if something went beyond my expectations.”

“Ah. Really?”

Hongryeon smiled and walked leisurely.

How long did it take to walk like that? Nam Chae-hyun came into the main hall and led us to a rather nice-looking building. She sat us down in what looked like a conference room and spoke calmly.

“When something like this happens, there are three types of compensation that we at Changwoon Hall provide. The first one is Danhwan. It is said that Changwoondan is used to treat internal injuries, so many martial people choose this.”

While saying that, he took out a box.

Did you know about Changwoondan? Everyone in Namgoonghwa’s group was just looking at that.

“The second one is called Changwoonbu. It is a special talisman that can only be made at Changwoon Pavilion. If you have it, you can prevent the intrusion of fraud. When I go to a secret place, I often get dizzy and can’t show my skills properly. It’s a talisman that can prevent it, so if anyone wants to go to a secret place, please refer to it.”

Confusion appeared in the eyes of Namgunghwa and his party. Changwoondan and Changwoonbu are both coveted.

While they were conflicting, Nam Chae-hyun lifted up another box.

“This is called Sinseongi… Honestly, I don’t want to recommend it to martial artists. Because it’s good for people working in production.”

What he took out was a small flag.

The effect is the same as the one I got this time, but you don’t need to install it, and you can use it just by plugging it in.

The best thing about it is that it does not overlap with the law.

So from my perspective, I want that one more than the other two.

“Now. If there is anything you want, take it one by one.”

“Uh…”

“The owner of Seomhwachon would want this, right? Because I will make various things in my guesthouse.”

“That’s right.”

Nam Chae-hyun immediately handed over the flag. Sayun groaned as she took it and put it aside, then looked at Hongryeon and she shook her head.

“Because this is what you use. Make sure you get what you want.”

“Um… me. Nam Gwanju.”

“Why but.”

“That flag. If I have two, is the effect double?”

“It’s not really like that, but it does increase the effect a little.”

“Then…”

Sayoon chose the flag right away. And Hongryeon also picked a flag and held it out to me.

“There is no need for that.”

“A. I should give you something like this.”

“Of course!”

That’s right. Just pick the things you need.

I saw Nam Chae-hyun, but he was cold.

No refund.

Even in Heavenly Moon, once you make a choice, the item you choose, the reward you choose, he will never, no matter what happens, change it, and it was the same here as well.

“A person’s choice is very important.”

It really looks like a knife.

In the end, I got three flags today.

“And the Nakil Sword that defeated the Demon Cultist. I’ll give you this extra.”

What Nam Chae-hyun held out was a small jade box. When I looked inside, there was a pill inside.

“Cheongunhwan?”

“Okay. If you take it, it will heal some of your internal injuries. And if you take it when your energy is low, it will restore you a little bit.”

Hongryeon probably already knew, so instead of putting it in her pocket, she held it out to me.

“Why are you giving it to me?”

“You never know when something like this will happen again, right? Keep it and use it in times of danger.”

I don’t know how dangerous I will be.

Wouldn’t it be better to use Hongryeon or Sayoon, who have more to fight with than me?

But she insisted again, and I had no choice but to take it.

“That. Thank you so much.”

As I came out of Changwoon Hall, Namgunghwa and her companions who were waiting at the entrance approached me.

“In fact, I was more thankful. Because I have only scratched the surface of martial arts. If there was another jiangshi, I wouldn’t have been able to stop it. If you hadn’t stepped forward and helped the Taoists without hesitation, there would have been great damage.”

I gave them a thumbs up, and they, too, panicked and gave me a push.

At the end of the simple greeting, Namgunghwa cut off the thread attached to his sword and held it out.

“If you happen to come to Hebi, please be sure to stop by our store.”

“Hmm…”

I don’t think I’ll ever go.

Still, how can you cold-heartedly refuse something that is given to you?

After receiving it calmly, the people behind them also gave out some tokens of their own.

“If you come to Towoldang…”

“When you come to Jinharyeong, please be sure to stop by our palace.”

“If you come to Yangju, I hope you will stop by Magajang.”

As she took the things they gave her and put them into her pocket, Namgunghwa turned her eyes to Hongryeon. After giving her a brief greeting, he looked at Sayun standing next to him and smiled.

“Because you’re still a junior. As a senior, may I say something?”

“Of course!!”

“Please be sure to maintain the spirit of political faction that Hong Seong-moon has. Um…and.”

He reached out his hand and lightly patted Sayun’s shoulder.

“You looked cool earlier?”

“Ah. Ahahaha…”

Sayoon’s face heats up.

It seems he was happy to be recognized by a warrior from another famous family.

When other people besides Namgung-hwa said something, Sayun’s face heated up as if it was about to explode.

“Let’s sleep. Our youngest will collapse. Let’s disperse now. And say hello to Se. Look forward to it when the Murim League comes.”

In the end, when Hongryeon came forward, they smiled and walked away.

“Ahahahaha… But, I’m so embarrassed.”

“You received the evaluation you deserved. When things like that pile up…”

I glanced at Hongryeon.

“It becomes like a falling sword.”

“A. You have to be greater than me.”

“…I need to work hard.”

I smiled at Sayun, who clenched her fists and strengthened her will.

you can do it

certainly.

When people left Palseonchon, it was around the time when people had been working for a while.

It took a long time because I went up to Changwoon Pavilion around sunrise and looked around here and there before coming down.

But seeing Sayoon, who seemed so excited, made me feel warm and at ease.

The journey back was not much different from the trip to Changun Mountain.

Rest in an appropriate place and move appropriately.

Of course, if you move like this, you will arrive around dawn, but so be it.

We moved leisurely like that when the sun set and the moon rose.

Sayoon must have been tired and began to nod off.

“Let me sleep for a while.”

“I guess so.”

I guess he felt sorry for me just sitting there and nodding my head. Hongryeon laid Sayun down on the floor covered with a blanket. Maybe he’s tired, but he doesn’t wake up even if he shakes it.

Hongryeon smiled at her and lightly got up and sat down next to me.

“Nakil Sword. If you’re tired too, why don’t you get some sleep?”

“Um…”

Hongryeon did not answer. Then he touched his lips as if he was thinking about something and shook his head.

“Us. Can’t you say we’ve become a bit closer now? We did a lot of things together. And we got to know each other for a while…”

“You mean to call me by my name?”

“Yes. I think it’s finally time for that to happen. You don’t call Chaejin by his nickname.”

That’s because Chaejin and I were in a contractual relationship. But Hongryeon seems to have been dissatisfied with that.

“That’s true too… I understand. Now go back…”

Because it won’t really be a problem.

I nodded roughly, but she didn’t go back.

“…Keuhum. Hongryeon. How about going back and sitting down?”

For a moment, Hongryeon stared at me in silence. and.

“…Ahaha.”

She nodded, letting out a low laugh.

“…Okay.”

And then, he spoke politely, using an honorific that he had never used before, and stared at me.

He immediately smiled and spoke in a soft tone.

“Are you a little surprised now?”

I was upset that I couldn’t deny it.

I never thought it would come out as an honorific term there.

With a smirk and a playful smile, Hongryeon giggled a few more times at my gaze and then turned her eyes to the night sky filled with countless stars.
