    “I…I’ll be better. Did the ronins come to visit?”

    “Ah, thank you. I’ll go out soon.”

    In response to Jeomsoi’s notification, Hyeokkirin used Baekgeon and refined his clothes.

    ‘Priests..’

    Okryong Credit Union’s Hyuk Kirin depicted his first meeting with Yeo Il-ye.

    ‘He had eyes full of venom and hatred.’

    From then on, Hyuk Kirin was always worried about Yeo Il-ye. Because I went through enough things to hate the world itself from a young age. Hyuk Kirin did his best to embrace Yeo Il-ye. Was it a result of its own accord? Yeo Il-ye still pretended to listen to what Hyuk Kirin said.

    Hyuk Kirin’s efforts prevented Yeo Il-ye from hating the world itself, but they could not stop her from hating the ronin.

    That part always bothered Hyuk Kirin.

    The day when I threatened to give my soul a hole so that the tears would completely drain if I had an accident again. Yeo Il-ye returned with completely different eyes.

    ‘I want to avenge my true enemy.’

    Hyeok Kirin blocked Yeo Il-ye’s path, but was unable to make up her mind. Is it really right to block the path of Yeo Il-ye, who wants to punish the real enemy out of her hatred for the rogues? Is it really the way for Yeo Il-ye to hold her in Jeomchang, telling her to forget all the family grudges floating around in Gucheon?

    Hyuk Kirin’s sword, which was confused, could not stop Yeo Il-ye, who had become stronger due to enlightenment.

    Hyeok Kirin walked towards the temple.

    In front of the provincial hall, there was Yeo Il-ye wearing a pure white long robe.

    Take a leave of absence.

    Yeo Il-ye, who arrived at Jeomchang with Mak Yeo-bu, immediately applied for a leave of absence. A conduit that serves the descendants of Jeomchangparan. Each and every disciple of the Jeomchang Sect is a Taoist. By putting your name on the list of thieves of the Jeomchang sect, you become an official disciple.

    Taoists are people who are inherently supposed to shake off all worldly affairs and pursue their own way, but how can a person’s affairs be tied together like a string?

    Even if you are a Taoist, you are still a human being, so you still have a connection to the secular world. Therefore, you can apply for a leave of absence once in your life at Jeomchang.

    An opportunity to throw off the status of a Jeomchang sect disciple and finish worldly affairs.

    Yeo Il-ye was waiting to perform the 10-day ceremony.

    “Are you here? Ambassador type.”

    “…Okay.”

    Hyuk Kirin felt a little awkward about Yeo Il-ye after he achieved enlightenment. Yeo Il-ye always sharpened her teeth and confronted Hyuk Kirin whenever she saw him. Because Hyuk Kirin was in charge of controlling Yeo Il-ye.

    Hyeok Kirin was much more familiar with Yeo Il-ye, who was always full of frustration and anger, than she is now.

    “Metabolic type.”

    “Huh?”

    Since “ came to Jeomchang, I have been indebted to the great brother indescribably. Other executioners also supported me, but I knew very well that it was the executioner who supported me most actively. Even before I gained enlightenment from Eungong.”

    Yeo Il-ye smiled softly. Hyuk Kirin held his breath at the gratitude and affection in Yeo Il-ye’s eyes.

    “ Although it was Eunkong who provided the topic that woke me up from this long dream. I have now realized that what supported me in that long dream until I met my benefactor were these fortune-tellers, the executioners, and the death penalty.”

    Hyuk Kirin could clearly feel that Yeo Il-ye had changed. I just didn’t know until now because I kept going in and out of the clan in passing and never had a chance to have an in-depth conversation.

    “Are you planning to punish all your enemies?”

    “The heads of our enemies will be taken down. Reveal their evil deeds to the world. We need to resolve the grudges of our relatives. However, we will do our best to prevent the blood of innocent people from flowing any more.”

    After the heavy topic was over, the two began exchanging updates. Yeo Il-ye did not know what was going on at the store while she was away, and Hyeok Kirin was curious about what Yeo Il-ye was doing outside.

    “This time, Changnyeong was closed. I went in determined to complete Mangungsiroe.”

    “Hehe, isn’t this already the third time?”

    “…I remembered.”

    Yeo Il-ye also told us about her current situation.

    “Do you know who I met at Hyeonggui Mountain? I met Dok-ui.”

    “Do you mean the one of the Three Great Masters?”

    “That’s right. And by chance, I also met Eun-gong.”

    Hyuk Kirin was immersed in a conversation with Yeo Il-ye. There were many times when Hyeok Kirin tried to grab Yeo Il-ye and talk to her, but Yeo Il-ye had never told her story so voluntarily.

    From meeting the poison of the three great gods to meeting Ho Cheon-an by chance and what happened after that.

    Everything was just to stimulate Hyeok Kirin’s interest.

    “I think it’s about time.”

    “I see.”

    Has time passed before you know it? Hyeok Kirin, who had even forgotten the passage of time while listening to Yeo Il-ye’s story, blushed and cleared his throat. Yeo Il-ye, who smiled slightly as she looked at Hyuk Kirin, erased her expression again.

    “Then it’s the ambassador type. May you be blessed.”

    “…I hope you come back.”

    During the period of leave, the relationship between Yeoil-ye and the Jeomchang faction is severed. Until Yeo Il-ye’s name is listed as a thief again after the military retreat, Yeo Il-ye and Hyeok Kirin are not subject to the death penalty.

    Therefore, the ceremony is held in a small conduit outside the Jeomchang sect’s enclosure, and the clothing is not that of the Jeomchang sect. Until the ritual was held again at the main building of the Jeomchang sect, he was completely a stranger.

    The door to the small conduit closed. Hyeok-ki-rin, who was staring at that scene, walked down the path to the temple of the Jeomchang sect.

    ‘Bandits have appeared in Sichuan Province.’

    This became clear after talking with Yeo Il-ye. Yeo Il-ye did not mention the specific names of her enemies, but she did not hide that they were powerful people. The leisure mountain lodge of 15 years ago was also a mountain lodge that had amassed enormous wealth. These are the people who swallowed up such a mountain lodge. There was no way he was the underdog in the first place.

    I would have grown further if I had used the wealth of the leisure lodge as a stepping stone.

    ‘This must be a warning aimed at Yeo Il-ye.’

    Hyukkirin’s eyes became sharp. It wasn’t that the Sanchae were exterminated, but at most, four Sanchae came forward to capture one Chaeju. This was impossible without someone’s influence. Confidence, not doubt, arose in Hyeok Kirin’s mind.

    Because Hyuk Kirin was one of the people who knew in detail about the behavior of those in power.

    Thinking over the conversation he had with Yeo Il-ye today, Hyuk Kirin felt a fire rising inside him. Yeo Il-ye was a calm person who could laugh easily. He was not just a person who used evil out of hatred and anger.

    Yeo Il-ye remembered everything.

    I wonder how far the executioners have mastered martial arts and how many times they have closed the coffin. What kind of thoughts did Hyeok Kirin have when he stood in front of Yeo Il-ye?

    It was just that Yeoga Lodge’s blood poison, which was too much for one person to handle, had swallowed up every part of Yeo Il-ye.

    ‘I can’t forgive.’

    Hyukkirin thought while controlling his rising anger. Was it not enough to kill the family members of the leisure lodge and swallow their wealth? The method of stealing the wealth of innocent people and holding them hostage in order to shake up Yeo-il-ye was completely unacceptable.

    Yeo Il-ye’s revenge was Yeo Il-ye’s. As long as the retreat was in progress, Hyeok Gi-rin was no longer Yeo Il-ye’s grand brother. Therefore, we cannot and should not participate in that revenge.

    However, punishing the bandits who flocked to Sacheon Province was something that could have been done without any connection to Yeo Il-ye. Because it was the right thing to do as a disciple of Jeomchang to condemn the bandits who harassed and exploited the innocent.

    ‘The problem of bandits settling down on Mt. Jeongnam… must be resolved!’

    With that firm determination, Hyeok Kirin left the guesthouse.

    [Samru Musa: First of all, the Taoist monks and the Taoist monks are all eliminated. What can I do if my martial arts skills are so strong that I can’t confidently enter and exit Giru?]

    [Why is there nothing better than me? Why are you so sincere about the content where you cover yourself with a blanket without exposing yourself while saying it’s sexy?;;]

    [Ho Cheon-an: Haha, if you don’t have anything to say, you should start talking.]

    [Mangeomchangpa: ㄹㅇㅋ]

    [Poonglim Gaekjan: Well, if you’re talking about martial arts, it’s Shaolin. Even the presence or absence of an expert in the type of force or martial arts.]

    [Pacheon Sword Demon: Shaolin is an enemy recognized by the throne.]

    [Samrumusa: Then why does my hair disappear?]

    [Netherworld: Ah… stop…]

    [Ho Cheon-an: So what exactly is the topic of discussion now?]

    [Mangeomchangpa: Mani Pingppa? Just upload it yourself and come see it!]

    [Cheongsam garter: Mol?ru]

    [Sacheon Sweet and Sour Pork: If you were to possess the martial arts world, which of the nine groups would you be in? This was the question.]

    [Mainland censorship target: Was it?]

    [Ho Cheon-an: Oh, then something has been decided.]

    [Soyo Kang-ho: ㄹㅇ It was a useless discussion.]

    [Jangsam passing by: Mite. I don’t know because I’m a newbie. Let me know.]

    [Hwangcheondanglip: Oh man, it smells like rotten water;]

    [Mainland censorship target: Is there such an overwhelming faction among the old factions?]

    [Ho Cheon-an: Haha, you don’t know that?]

    [Hwangcheondanglip: Haha, I really don’t know this haha]

    [Yeonhwa Pants Thief: Haha, hurry up haha, log into the game and find out haha]

    [Mainland censorship target: vicious gangs;]

    [Soyo Kang-ho: I’m going to cry and tell the newbie to stop teasing me.]

    [Soyo Kangho: If you are truly possessed by the martial arts world, the faction you should listen to from among the nine factions is predetermined.]

    [Mainland censorship target: So where is it;]

    [Soyo Kang-ho: That’s right.]

    [Soyo Kangho: Will be released in 5 minutes!]

    [Hocheonan: Hahahahahaha]

    [Netherworld: Hahahahahaha]

    [Jangsam passing by: Hahahaha]

    [Yeonhwa Pants Thief: Haha, really]

    [Poonglim Gaekjan: You act polite, but suddenly you lose your senses because you’re Meg, right?]

    [Soyo Kang-ho: I just said this for a laugh and it is a fortune telling.]

    [Mainland censorship target: Gurachine.]

    [Soyo Gangho: No, it’s really fortune telling.]

    [Yeonhwa Pants Thief: This is correct.]

    [Mainland censorship target: Jeomchang martial arts is nothing special. The Sail Sword Technique One Tool is not particularly influential in Sacheon.]

    [Hwangcheondanglip: Actually, it is true that it is at the bottom among the old file rooms.]

    [Samrumusa: But if you go back, it’s fortune telling.]

    [Mainland censorship target: What does this mean?]

    [Soyo Kang-ho: Looks like he’s the type to just follow the strategy.]

    [Soyo Gangho: The strategy book only picks teachers with good personality, so you don’t know the difference.]

    [Samrumusa: Wow, if you meet a teacher with a temper tantrum, you’ll be in trouble.]

    [Samrumusa: When a negative incident occurs during an event, there are many people who, instead of helping, excommunicate them for causing an accident.]

    [There’s nothing better than me: Other old school groups select students based on talent rather than personality, so there’s a good chance they’ll meet a teacher with a great personality, but Jeomchang selects them based on personality, so they’re all nice.]

    [Hocheonan: ㄹㅇ]

    [Mainland censorship target: ?]

    [Mainland censorship target: Is this because a member of the clan is nice and joins the fortune teller?]

    [Soyo Gangho: When you are in trouble or make a mistake]

    [Soyo Gangho: Compared to other old file rooms, you receive much more support from your faction and your mistakes are easily forgiven.]

    [Mainland censorship target: Ah;]

    [Hwangcheondanglip: Jeomchang says that selecting disciples is really a political faction in the Taoist clan. Please accept the princess who is actually a bomb, and accept the woman whose family was massacred.]

    [Jang-sam passing by: I think it was another old file room. If you cause trouble like Yeo Il-ye, you will be immediately excommunicated.]

    [Pacheon Sword Demon: I do not cut Jeomchang’s sword.]

    [Soyo Kangho: ㄹㅇㅋ Even if you play a celestial game, you have to save the fortune-teller disciple.]

    [Mangeomchangpa: Ah haha, if you look at the other students, there are a lot of them with stories. How can we beat up kids who have overcome their unfortunate past and are practicing martial arts soundly?]

    [Samrumusa: Even though the average quality of disciples is significantly lower than that of other nine-file groups, isn’t maintaining the top rank of the nine-file members in itself a proof of Jeomchang’s class?]

    [Yeonhwa Pants Thief: But everyone.]

    [Yeonhwa Pants Thief: There is no need to possess the world of martial arts anyway, so why are you getting so worked up?]

    [Yeonhwa Pants Thief: I’m selling the raid room, so come in quickly.]

    *** ***

    I had a dog dream.

    It seems like I had a strange dream because of Hyeok Kirin who came to visit yesterday.

    Hyeok Kirin nominated me and the black cat and made a request.

    Guide and escort in Sichuan Province.

    I wondered what it meant that a disciple of Gupa Ilbang in Sichuan Province would use a Sichuan ronin as an escort, but Hyeok Kirin’s intention was firm.

    Hyeok Kirin’s request was a good thing from my perspective. What is the reason why Hyuk Kirin has now appeared in Sichuan Province? Of course, it was probably because bandits appeared in Sacheon Province.

    If you stay close to Hyeok Kirin, the great disciple of the Jeomchang Sect, there is a higher chance that you will be able to obtain advanced information related to the bandit situation, so you should stick around at all costs.

    In Hyuk Kirin’s nature, there was no way he would harm me, Yeo Il-ye’s benefactor, so he had no hesitation.

    “Phew.”

    When I woke up from a dog dream, I practiced the Cheonwonsimbeop. Now, all the internal energy of the Three Sources of Mind has been converted into the Heavenly Sources of Mind Law, and a sense of stability has emerged.

    First-class swordsmanship also needs to be trained, but it has been pushed down the list of priorities.

    In fact, whether it is first-class swordsmanship or second-class swordsmanship, the practicality is there. The only difference is whether or not there is a remoteness like the Gyeongryun Nakilsom that Jeongsam showed.

    Certainly, the training methods and theory of prowess that Yeo Il-ye taught me were of great help to me.

    In particular, the theory of loyalty taught by Yeo Il-ye. Among them, focus on strengthening your legs. It was simple advice, but very effective. There is no need to learn first-class martial arts because the techniques that Yeo Il-ye taught me allow me to achieve effects similar to those of the martial arts I have learned.

    Is this the level of the old faction, which is considered the pinnacle among countless factions?

    Even though I spent two days at Tangga, and I didn’t even practice martial arts, I just discussed martial arts, and my arm skills improved greatly.

    hmm.

    If I solve this request well, will I be able to hear at least a word of advice from Hyeok Kirin?

    After thinking about this and that, I came down to the first floor and found the black cat already prepared and waiting.

    As I was preparing to go out on the request, Yoo Yu-yeon appeared. I must have been through a lot these past few days, so I have large dark circles around my eyes.

    “If you follow Hyeok Kirin and come up with any information, please tell me.”

    “Don’t worry. Because I have that much sense.”

    “Yes…I believe it.”

    Yoo Yu-yeon seemed to have no time to argue with me, so she got ready and quickly went outside. After completing this request, I will try to exchange information with Yusa Research Institute.

    Me and the black cat got ready and went to the guesthouse that Hyeok Kirin had told me about yesterday.

    “I see you came. Please take care of me for a while.”

    “Nice to meet you. Hyuk Daehyeop. By the way…are you sure you’re okay?”

    I said, looking around partly. The people in the guesthouse were talking loudly as they looked at me, the black cat, and the white giraffe.

    Rumors were being heard as to why Hyuk Kirin, the leader of the Huyesipshi, was hanging out with the ronin.

    “Going around with the Sacheon ronin will be quite an arduous task for Hyuk Daehyup.”

    “It’s okay.”

    In fact, unlike Tang Tao-gyeong, there is no major problem with Hyeok-ki-rin traveling with Sichuan ronin. Hyuk Kirin’s reputation may be tarnished, but Tang Do-gyeong’s reputation and Hyuk Kirin’s reputation are incomparable.

    “Are you familiar with the bandits located near Sacheon Province?”

    “I know as much as others.”

    “Please explain.”

    I gave roughly the information I knew. With the union of four mountains, there are only five hundred people under four peaks. There are already a lot of merchants who have lost their goods, and only those who have their own armed forces, such as Pyoguk, have managed to return to Sacheon, having lost a lot of toll taxes.

    “Hmm. I wonder if you can guess the reason why Hyeok-mo came to Sacheon Province.”

    “Well, isn’t it because of the bandits?”

    “That’s right. I’d like to stop by Sanchae, but maybe I can get some horses.”

    Stop by the mountain vegetables. Are you thinking of having a conversation or negotiation? After thinking for a moment, I quickly shook my head to shake off my thoughts. For now, let Hyuk Kirin do what he does and I will just get the information I can get quietly.

    My current request is route guidance and escort. All you have to do is faithfully provide directions and escorts. Telling Hyeok Kirin to do this or that is not treatment as a client.

    I never thought I would be renting a horse at a stable as a Sichuan ronin. We set out to Sacheon Province riding three horses rented in the name of Hyeok Kirin.

    Hyeok Kirin asked me various questions.

    “Do you know the name of the merchant who suffered damage?”

    “Have you ever heard of Seongju’s reaction?”

    After answering to the best of my knowledge, Hyuk Kirin became lost in thought. In the meantime, I breathed a sigh of relief.

    Ah, it’s difficult. It’s difficult. We all know that she is a princess and a woman dressed as a man, but it is not easy to pretend not to know.

    [senior. Is that person really Hyuk Kirin from Okryong Credit Union? There’s something strange…]

    Yeah, it might be a little weird. Because she’s a cross-dressing woman. The black cat is an expert in disguise and disguise. Since he has learned how to hide himself all his life, it is not surprising to feel something strange about Hyeok Kirin’s appearance.

    This body Hocheonan.

    As I became a first-class player, I learned how to use electric sounds, but first-class electric sounds tend to leak air. It takes ultimate skill to send a message without even a mouse or a bird noticing.

    In particular, due to mixed blood, I have a rougher control of my internal energy than other first-class players, so if I used Jeon-eum, it was noticeable right away. So, I expressed my opinion by slightly nodding my head.

    There are times when it breaks down and sometimes it struggles because it is unable to recognize its own emotions, but basically, the black cat has survived this difficult world on its own. As soon as he felt uncomfortable with Hyuk Kirin, a sharp tone began to appear in his entire voice.

    Doesn’t Black Cat know that Hyeok Kirin is of imperial lineage?

    It is not a widely known fact that Hyuk Kirin is a princess, but that does not mean it is a completely kept secret either.

    I thought Wolbokdang knew about Hyeok Kirin’s birth… I guess we’ll have to talk about this again.

    When I gave the black cat a hand gesture indicating that it was okay, the cat reluctantly nodded. I glanced ahead and saw Hyuk Kirin still deep in thought.

    What can I say? It’s amazing just watching it like this. I guess that uvula is the result of reverse use. Looking at the fair face and the ears that are clearly exposed with the head pushed into the gun, it gives the impression of a woman.

    Would it be possible to hide the fact that she is a woman with such force? Even though she looks like a girl, I don’t think she’ll be suspected of being a girl.

    No, it may seem that way because I am convinced that I am a woman.

    [Well, I guess they hired a Sichuan ronin for some reason… but he’s suspiciously handsome. The character ‘ok’ may be included in the nickname.]

    The black cat began to criticize Hyuk Kirin’s appearance in earnest.

    [The lines of your body shape are truly unrivaled. It’s normal to be disgusted when a man has long eyelashes and big eyes, but this also makes you attractive.]

    It is said that it is normal for a woman to be liked if her eyelashes are long and her eyes are big.

    There has never been a day like today when I felt frustrated about not being able to use the full sound properly. When I really reach the peak, I learn the whole tone first.

    [The neck is really like that of a deer. It’s a deer. Even at a glance, she has slender arms, but it’s surprising that even with arms like that, she can become a reviewer representing the old group.]

    Yes, it’s because she’s a woman. I sent various hand gestures with that meaning… but the black cat seemed to be tilting its head as if it wasn’t receiving it properly. Hmm… that’s frustrating. When I made a gesture to stop talking, the black cat suddenly laughed.

    [senior. Are you jealous because I am praising Jade Dragon Credit Union?]

    Then I started having strange misunderstandings.
