    Tweet. Jack. Tweet!

    Around 5 or 6 in the morning, chirps that cried like ghosts came to visit. I was concentrating hard, but thanks to that, my concentration was broken, and thanks to that, I realized how much time had passed.

    The candles that were lit in the new banquet hall were bright as usual.

    When I looked next to Sama Yeom, I saw an empty liquor jar. At some point, I started making my own and drank it all.

    To stay up all night with your body upright like a bamboo, without even a blush, does this have to be the case for you to eat well. In the world of government offices, the saying that those who can’t drink will die is gradually becoming more and more true.

    “So, have you organized your thoughts?”

    “Yes.”

    All night long, Sima Yan and I exchanged various opinions. Most of the time, I was the one asking questions, and Sima Yan only answered.

    [Murim World] is a martial arts game after all. Well, it’s not that there isn’t an imperial route connected through Hyeok-gi-rin, but it’s only a sub-topic and it’s a story about the martial arts faction.

    So, I asked countless questions to check how far Gwan’s power and the governor’s power and authority extend, and also to what extent I can help and how much risk I can take… things like that. .

    Sima Yan accepted all the questions without showing any displeasure.

    “I have one last question.”

    “Oh, this is finally the end of the question and answer. What is it?”

    “Is it okay for me to lead this work? Why are you showing no signs of stepping forward?”

    “The law sounds the alarm and makes people reason.”

    Sima Yan said as he poured out his last glass.

    “However, cooperatives touch people’s hearts and ignite their passion. I was just wondering which one would be needed to get rid of the old poison in Sichuan Province.”

    Besides that, I had many questions about Sama Yeom. What does a mere Sichuan ronin see that he believes like this? If I mess up, is there an alternative? Well, these little questions rose up in my throat, but I pushed them all down.

    It is enough to tell such useless stories as an afterthought at the banquet hall after everything is over.

    “We have brought you a guest.”

    “A lowly merchant meets the governor.”

    “Woah, this way.”

    “…Hocheonan?”

    Yu Sa-yeon, summoned like dawn through Sama-yeom. Then, the black cat beat Hyeok Kirin, who was unconscious, to wake him up and brought him back, as well as Yeo Il-ye, whose face was all swollen and swollen from crying all night long.

    “There is a way to solve the current situation.”

    Hyeok Kirin is holding his head and groaning due to a hangover. A black cat that was giving water to the white giraffe. Yu Yu-yeon looks confused as to what the situation is. And everyone, even Yeo Il-ye, who had dead eyes, paid attention to me.

    “You can defeat Jambongmun and Gaemyeongbu, who destroyed Tangsumun. A way to subdue the bandits, a way to reveal the connection between the bandits and the Golden Line, a way to tie together the culprits of the Blood Death at Yeoga Lodge, and a way to ensure the independence of the Sichuan clans and even the Sichuan gangsters to survive.◦ #◦

    “…a shameless person. Could such a convenient method exist?”

    Hyuk Kirin refuted in a very hoarse voice.

    There is “”

    I looked around the audience. Sichuan governor Sima Yan. Hyeok Gi-rin, the great ruler of the Jeomchang sect. Yeo Il-ye, a superb master. And the head of Wolbokdang, Heukmyo… and I, a top-class expert, Ho Cheon-an.

    When I put my name in front of the person in front of me, something seems missing. But what can I do? My current level is top-notch. I just have to pour out everything I have.

    Anyway, it was possible if everyone worked together and used their capabilities.

    I explained my plan. A plan that took over an hour just to explain.

    When I finished explaining everything, no one opened their mouth.

    “I know I can’t please everyone. From Yeo Il-ye Sojeo’s point of view, she would want to capture all of her enemies herself, and from Yoo Yu-yeon’s point of view, she would want to avenge her enemies entirely on her own. From the perspective of Hyeokkirin Daehyup, the benefits gained by the Jeomchang faction are not great, so they may be dissatisfied. It’s a plan that will require a lot of hardship for the Black Cat… and the Governor may also have to bear a political burden.”

    “….How can you say that?”

    Hyeok Kirin said as if it was absurd.

    “What does Ronin have to gain from this plan? Isn’t it just a loss-making role?”

    “Why do I lose money?”

    I get a wood-based elixir and cider.

    “When everything is done, I feel refreshed inside and can practice comfortably.”

    “Hahahahaha!”

    Suddenly Sima Yan laughed.

    “Hahaha! This is true. okay. That is correct. That’s really important. Yes, this Sima Yan will cooperate with the Great Council’s plan. What about other people?”

    Everyone nodded.

    “Okay, let’s get started.”

    There was an uncomfortable tension in the clan meeting hall of Golden Street. The person with the highest distribution in Moorim is Cheongheo Zen Master. The person with the highest level of martial arts was also Master Cheongheo.

    However, the ‘Hujeok’ disciple of the Jeomchang sect to which Zen Master Cheongheo belonged caused an uproar in Golden Street, and if the Jeomchang sect pretended to be crazy and attacked the bandits, the rest of the sect would be threatened, so they had to work together to stop the Jeomchang sect’s rampage.

    ‘No, isn’t it a foul that Zen Master Cheongheo, who can be said to be a Sentai expert, appears…’

    ‘I can’t say anything about this since I don’t have an official title in the store…’

    Usually, martial artists who have reached a level where they can represent their sect are given an honorary position. If you give them at least a superficial title, they will feel a sense of responsibility or obligation to their clan. However, there was no need to draw in fortune telling.

    Even though he is a former master, he is always willing to take action when his disciples are at stake or when it comes to important issues for the sect.

    “Primitive Cheonjon…Do you mind if this old man says a word?”

    “Of course. Zen master.”

    Master Cheonghe stroked his beard and gazed intently at the conference hall. Those who wear the same attire as those who fought against Sapa to return smiles to all people living in Sacheon, bearing the banner of the Death Demon. Thinking about their age now, they must have spurred on their martial arts training with a big heart after hearing about the achievements of their seniors at the time.

    ‘Time is fleeting.’

    As time passed, these people became intoxicated with peace and intoxicated with the scent of gold.

    Hwang Bose. Cheongseong faction. Jongnam faction. Amifa. Master Cheonghe thought of his old colleagues who had displayed their spirit of cooperation together with Tang Guangryeol in defeating the Four Sects.

    ‘You’re old so you’re probably farting in the back room. Ugly guys. If the sect is wrong, you should at least raise your old body and make a hole in your soul.’

    Because Cheongheo was good at fortune telling, he did not think that Hwangbo, Cheongseong, Jongnam, and Ami faction were maintaining their lost political stance. It’s just that the spirit of the clan was preserved because the previous generation’s masters actively handled major and minor affairs of the clan.

    Therefore, if Hwangbo, Cheongseong, Jongnam, and Amipah lost some face due to this incident and an environment was created where the former leaders would use the cane, it would have been possible to have a self-purification effect.

    The adults of the clan have to do their job even if it hurts. If you manage your clan properly, you will not suffer when you grow old. Thinking like that, Master Cheongheo thought of Hyeok Kirin.

    ‘Now that he’s grown up, it’s time for this old man in the backroom to retire.’

    Cheongheo smiled happily as he thought of Hyeok Kirin, who had made a bold request this morning with sparkling eyes. In the way he confidently spoke of ways to not harm the clan, help his disciple Yeo Il-ye, and protect people, Cheong-he saw not a cute disciple, but a charlatan.

    “I just sent an apology to the head of the Golden Family.”

    “What do you mean…?”

    Cheonghe burst out laughing as he saw the faces of those who came as representatives of the four places brighten.

    “If you have caused such a great inconvenience to the Golden Street and created anxiety among merchants, how can you set foot in Sichuan Province? Yeo Il-ye also applied for a leave of absence, but she will return to Jeomchang someday. As an adult in a clan, I am worried that if that child meets a bandit now, there will be too much blood on his hands.”

    “Indeed…the Zen Master’s thoughtfulness is full of mercy.”

    “I will at least make sure that Yeo Il-ye never goes outside of Sichuan Province and never crosses the threshold of Golden Street without any reason like today. Of course, I believe that Hwang Bo-sega, Cheongseong, Jong-nam, and Ami faction’s liaisons will handle the matter of the bandits who mentioned Yeo-il-ye in a fair and fair manner.”

    “Please leave it to me! Offering! We will come together clearly and without any motivation!”

    “Of course! I will do my best in this Hwangbo Sega!”

    The representatives of the Segawa clan felt like they wanted to cheer inwardly. How can the Jeomchang faction retreat so obediently? It was a matter of establishing a branch within Sacheon Province. In fact, Jeomchang received almost no share in the profit agreement, so it was put in a very disadvantageous position in the competitive structure of Sichuan schools.

    Therefore, they thought that they would remain even if they had to resort to all kinds of unreasonable means, and that is why the distribution and reputation of Zen Master Cheongheo were burdensome, so I never thought they would decide to retreat so easily.

    “I just have a request for you.”

    The delegates swallowed dry saliva. Well then. Is there any way he could just step down?

    “At the request of the Golden Sun family head, a decision was made to adjust the timing of the subjugation.”

    “Keohum. Master. It’s just a matter of looking at their face for a moment as the cooperation between the Sichuan Province clans soared through the sky…”

    “Hehe. That’s right. I have to leave the care of Yeo Il-ye to my student, Hyeok Kirin, and go back… but wouldn’t there be a risk of misunderstanding if I go back alone when all of you are still here?”

    “Um.”

    “So, I would like Hwangbo, Cheongseong, Jongnam, and Amifa to issue a statement. Until some time passes, I will respect the spirit of the Sichuan clans.”

    If things continue like this, it looks like Jeomchang is running away, so he wanted to create a just cause for him to step down.

    If the major literary factions in Sichuan make an official statement that they will not intervene, there will not be much controversy even if Jeomchang steps down.

    “It is…”

    “Hmm…”

    The delegates were lost in thought.

    There is a very big difference between tentatively drawing a conclusion and actually announcing it. First of all, there was no big problem in issuing a statement like that. Fortress, there was a rumor going around in Sacheon Province that the clan factions in Sacheon Province were desperately opposing the intervention of the old factions.

    The problem is that if this statement is made, it will damage the relationship with the clans that have formed partnerships behind the scenes.

    “I understand your concerns. But wouldn’t the aftermath be minimized to some extent if it were announced in a joint statement? Above all… if Jeomchang also steps down, his relationship with the Sichuan clans he was affiliated with will be dealt a blow.”

    “Um.”

    The delegates thought carefully.

    There were enough corners to get out, and it was a cheap price to pay to be able to get rid of a bomb like this. All you had to do was promise sufficient compensation to the affiliated factions.

    The affiliated clans of Sichuan Province would also have no choice but to accept the proposal.

    “I will follow the Master’s wishes.”

    On that day, notices were written all over Sacheon revealing the position of the great sect.

    “This is how it happened.”

    “Huh.”

    With a gloomy expression, Hyeok Kirin gave a hand to the owner of Gwangyangmun. Gwangyangmunju wanted to sigh as the ground fell, but he couldn’t help it. After all, the high priest of fortune telling is visiting and apologizing in person.

    “ Due to lack of power, the main government had to withdraw first, which brought shame to Gwangyangmun, which could be considered an ally.”

    “There is nothing we can do. It’s just that something went wrong and it wasn’t the Jeomchang faction’s disdain for our faction… so I just have to bow down and wait for the right time to come.”

    Still, Gwangyangmunju’s feelings have softened considerably.

    There is a strange rumor that the Sichuan Province’s factions are desperately opposing the intervention of the old factions. The official position of the Old File Party was announced as if confirming the strange rumor. The sects connected to the Hwangbo, Jeomchang, and Cheongseong Ami factions were overturned at once. Gwangyang Munju was also very angry and tried to leave the visit, so before that, a letter from Jeomchang arrived, followed by Hyeok Girin.

    ‘Jeomchang’s retreat is also bad news…but it might be better than getting stabbed in the back…’

    Gwangyangmunju, who was soothing his sore stomach, stopped his actions when he saw Hyeok Kirin making tea.

    [A very good opportunity will come soon.]

    Hyeok Kirin checked Gwangyangmunju’s stiff complexion and wrote the letter again with tea.

    [It may be an unfamiliar thing, but I hope you hold on to it with all your might.]

    Gwangyangmunju nodded and wiped the tea with his sleeve. My sleeves were soaked, but that wasn’t something to worry about.

    “I have to deliver news to other factions as well, so I’ll be leaving now.”

    “…Please be careful.”

    While the representatives of each sect calm down the angry sect leaders by promising compensation or scolding them.

    Hyeok Kirin quietly went around the clans that had ties to the Jeomchang faction.

    And that time.

    Food duck.

    “Huh? Hmm…this smell is from the return band given to you…”

    A Jeon Seo-gu flew towards Dang Do-yeon of Dangga.
