Let’s say that a person called the Ark of Openness suddenly appeared.

The main character of Tuseonhyeophaengrok is not that beggar, and he could just happen to be passing by by chance.

‘But trying to recruit me as a beggar is crossing the line.’

Are you making a terrible proposal to turn a person with a bright future into a beggar from the start of his life?

If it had been his original nature, he would have immediately taken out a gun from his inventory and showed off the spicy taste of modern land style.

Whether it was possible to kill a martial arts expert with a gun was not a consideration.

At least, they were putting up with it for now because they were a group that helped Baek Geon obtain the treasure in the original work based on their unique information power.

It was also problematic to kill one of the leaders of the political faction while Namgung-hyeon and Baek Geon were watching.

‘But is it true that openness is closely related to Uiseon?’

[Yes that’s right. Due to the nature of the group, there are many people who die suddenly after suffering from residual illness. Jeondae Ark, who felt sorry for this, negotiated with Uiseon to continue regular exchanges.]

‘It’s not a proposition that you just pass up and look at.’

What Jang Jo-gang was worried about was that my body could not handle the various constitutions I had, but there was no way that could happen.

In the first place, they are not constitutions defined in this world, but souvenirs obtained through the power of the ticket.

Not only did they not conflict with each other, but since the performance was based on ability, there was no reason why my body couldn’t handle it.

There is no possibility that the abilities gained in that way will harm me.

In any case, it is true that he is greedy for me, but in the end, it is an offer that comes from good intentions to help me avoid an early death.

Still, he was a character who helped the main character in the original work, and since he was a true fan, it was fortunate that he did not have malicious intentions.

If you send it back with a reasonable understanding, they will feel sorry but will not harbor any grudges.

However, if you don’t give a proper reason, all the good impressions you made will disappear and you will look like a brat who just wants to go to the Namgung family.

All the eyes of the people in the room were focused on me.

I took a deep breath for a moment and then opened my mouth.

“Thank you for giving me such a great suggestion.”

“Cluck cluck…”

“However, I think it will be difficult to accept Ark’s offer.”

“……Why? I will not deny that Bonno made the offer because he was greedy for your qualifications. However, everything said so far is true. Although Ui-seon is not a person who chooses patients, the opportunity to receive treatment from him in this large central area is like a mirage for the common people. Since it is a good life and a good life, the child will have to choose carefully.”

‘What does that mean?’

[It means that even a hard life is better than an honorable death.]

It is very difficult to say that this life is good even if you roll in a dog poop. Even beggars seem to be able to write because they are martial people.

I shook my head lightly.

“I’m not saying that the Lord lied. However, I have never felt discomfort due to my constitution in my life until now. Although I did not eat well and lived in a harsher environment than others, I was able to stay healthy without suffering from minor illnesses. If you had such a dangerous constitution, you would have felt it many times already.”

Then I looked at Namgoonghyeon.

” It is probably true that I have a unique constitution, as Mr. Namgung-hyeon felt when he gave me a pulse. However, due to the unknown danger, we cannot betray Namgung-hyeon, who saved us first and gave us a suggestion. Although he is just a guy who lived in a slum, once he says something, he cannot change it back on the spot.”

I heard that ‘A man is a fool, a man is a fool’ is not a proverb used in China, but I added it to make it seem as relevant as possible.

“Although I am lacking in learning, I have heard very well how great the Namgung family is. I believe that if a problem arises in the future, there will be several ways to help me, even if it is not the will.”

I gently rejected Jang Jo-gang’s proposal based on my experience.

In the meantime, perhaps because he made a comment praising the Namgung family, Namgung-hyeon also nodded with a satisfied expression.

“So, I won’t worry about my constitution. I’ve been living on the streets for a long time, so I’m sorry to Bangju, but I’d like to accept Mr. Namgung-hyeon’s suggestion.”

In the end, Jang Jo-gang, who had the offer rejected, clicked his tongue.

“Tsk… For that matter, I don’t remember seeing it around here. Where on earth did this guy come out…”

‘Because old people are quick to notice.’

“I understand! They say a man’s words are worth a thousand gold… I don’t know where you picked up a similar proverb, but your skill in using your tongue is excellent! I won’t ask any more questions.”

Then he looked in his direction towards Baek Geon, who was half-hidden behind me.

“Then that one is…”

“That’s it. In Minho’s case, he didn’t stop him because he was going to introduce him to Uiseon, but Baekgeon has a balanced constitution and has five elements. It is unacceptable to hit a player with the same excuse as just before. No matter how much it is an ark, there are rules that must be followed.”

Nam Gung-hyeon cut off Jang Jo-gang’s modification with a firm voice.

Clearly, the status itself was higher for Ark than for the elders of Sega. However, this only applies to businesses of a certain size.

The Odaesae are the most prestigious family in the vast midfield. Among them, when he became an elder of the Namgung family who was competing for the throne, his status was higher than that of the elders of a well-known sect.

It is a position that is respected to that extent.

Namgung-hyeon, who proposed first, has already given enough to Bang-joo just by being patient this long.

Jang Jo-gang, who knew that fact, also obediently took a step back.

“Cluck click… I understand. As an apology, I will tell Euiseon the story about that boy named Minho. Maybe Uiseon, who is interested, can go to the Namgung family in person.”

“Hmm… that will definitely help.”

Seeing Namgoonghyeon’s face soften with understanding, I also lowered my head.

“Thank you for your consideration, Ark.”

” done! It’s uncomfortable to see a guy who grew up on the streets already showing signs of manners! A slum orphan is less interesting than most martial arts people. Ugh… tsk tsk.”

Jang Jo-gang, who said that, disappeared outside the window as quickly as he had appeared.

“If you change your mind, find me in Wuhan, Hubei! Cluck cluck……”

Finally, the voice he left behind slowly dispersed in the air.

There was an awkward silence in the room where Namgung-hyeon, I, and Baek Geon remained.

“Hmm… Okay. I guess I should dress neatly first.”

Is it because the Ark of Openness rejected the recruitment offer directly? Namgoonghyun said, looking more comfortable than before.

Sigh ㅡ

We cleaned ourselves up in the shared bathroom located in the backyard of our guesthouse.

Namgung-hyeon left for a moment to buy clothes at a nearby market.

Since I didn’t have any soap, I wet the top of the clothes I was planning to throw away and used it as a shower towel to wipe myself.

As I was pouring cold water, Baek Geon, who had been washing with me, came up next to me.

“Hey… you said it was Minho, right? Thanks for your help.”

From his perspective, I must have looked cool for stopping the vicious thugs.

Unlike me, he was really a child, so his bright eyes were almost burdensome.

“It’s no big deal. If you go to the Namgung family and learn martial arts in earnest, those guys will find it funny even if a cart attacks them.”

“Oh…!”

This guy is very excited, as if he is looking forward to it.

I used this ability to pour lukewarm water on him.

Sigh ㅡ

“Ugh! Cha cha cha… isn’t it cold?”

“You’ve got a better life now, man.”

“……?”

Still, I was glad that things ended well.

If I did something wrong, my plan to just stick to the main character and drink sweet water would have been ruined from the start.

So we washed up and changed into the new clothes that Namgung-hyeon brought.

“Then let’s find a way to return to the Namgung family.”

According to Tuseonhyuphaengrok, the place where the Namgung family was located was Hebi, which can be said to be the center of Anhui.

Hebi is a large city with Soho next to it.

If we walk from the corner of Huangshan Mountain, where we are, to this destination, it will take about four days or more.

However, that was the standard of the martial arts people, and it could be said that it was quite a distance to travel with two people carrying a lot of luggage.

In the original, Namgoonghyeon moved quickly carrying Baekgeon on his back, but now he carries me too, so the load has doubled.

There were many inconveniences in running with two people at the same time or stopping to rest whenever you got tired.

So in the end, the best option was to find a nearby port and board it.

Coincidentally, there was a pyoguk of a certain size in this village.

Seongheungpyoguk (成興镖局).

Namgung-hyeon walked briskly past the gate, which even had a hanging board.

Seeing Nam Gung-hyeon entering his home proudly with his back straight, the master who was working approached him and asked.

When he saw the sword sheath on his waist, he seemed to think he was not of ordinary status, and his attitude was cautious.

“Elder, what brought you to Seongheungpyoguk?”

“He is said to be Namgunghyeon, the elder of the Namgung family. Can I meet the head of the country for a moment?”

At the appearance of a larger-than-life figure, Pisa’s face instantly turned white.
