“Hmm…”

I looked back on the Sichuan incident from Hyeok Kirin’s perspective. The Sichuan incident… was like an all-out attack. I was angry too, so I just tried to manage my reputation and attacked them all.

People from all over Sacheon rolled up their hands and feet and stepped forward.

The people of Sichuan Province put all their effort into preparing for the festival, and all the warriors of Sichuan Province ran out to catch the bandits.

And the people of Sichuan Province rejoiced by holding a festival, and the warriors of Sichuan Province also straightened their shoulders and boasted about their achievements.

Everyone had a role to play, showed off their skills, was happy, and had fun.

Hyuk Kirin’s role in it was…well, honestly, it was minimal. Compared to his performance, Hyuk Kirin endured a lot. He endured humiliation in the golden district and went around asking merchants for favors.

I held back a lot, but I didn’t really have a chance to show off.

It seems like those things were eating away at Hyeok Kirin, whether he knew it or not.

“It was the first major event I encountered beyond the prose of the fortune-telling school. And I was helpless. Will I be able to handle these incidents well in the future?”

Hyukkirin muttered with a heavy expression.

“Brother told me to come back home. And then he declared: This is the way you can be happiest. I wanted to retort. But my mouth didn’t drop. Will I be able to do well in the future as I ran out of the mountain gate and did nothing to help Priest Yeo Il-ye? ”

“Hyeok Kirin Daehyeop is doing well.”

Yes, Hyeok Kirin was doing well. How many people in Moorim are doing as well as Hyuk Kirin? This was sincere, but Hyuk Kirin just smiled bitterly.

“I am just grateful that you give such an evaluation. I am also proud of my hard work. But…the reality is that I have nothing to show my brother. This Hyukgirin is doing so well. I still wasn’t sure which path to take, but since I’m doing so well, I’d like to ask you to support me…”

is it.

There were no results for Hyuk Kirin. It could be said that it is the fruit of martial arts. What was the reason why the warriors of Sichuan Province were so happy with their chests open even though they literally buried five hundred bandits using humane tactics?

This was because they proved their martial arts for the first time in a place where there was a justification and where martial arts had to be used.

evidence.

Hyeok Gi-rin wanted to show her older brother Yu-gyeong the fruits of her life, but there was no evidence.

In fact, the Murim people were a people who did not need such proof. Because the martial people have a sign of state. Reaching this point was a testament to one’s efforts.

However, the part that Hyuk Kirin was worried about was a bit different.

Do you think you want to be recognized as ‘Hyeok Kirin’ rather than ‘Yuya’?

Does he want to show his brother proof of his life as a martial artist, Hyeok Kirin, rather than as a master of the Jeomchang school?

“I see…”

Me and Hyuk Kirin were lost in thought and that was how the day’s tea time came to an end.

*** ***

The day dawned a week after entering the imperial palace.

“Phew.”

As I warm up with simple gymnastics, I am reminded of my days as a Sichuan ninja. To be exact, the days when I was stuck behind the wall of being at the edge of second-rate and just maintained the status quo every day.

Because I was doing my best to improve my fortune every day as much as my mental ability allowed, there was significant progress in my spiral ceremony.

My life as a Sichuan ninja has been over seven years, and it has only been a few months since I broke through the second-rate stage and my life changed. Life as a ronin changed many parts of me.

The same goes for the habit of doing gymnastics.

There is actually no need to do gymnastics anymore to maintain your abilities. Because I train myself to increase my abilities every day. To be very blunt, you could say it is an unnecessary habit.

And he also left behind mental habits.

Should I say it’s a habit of managing reputation…? It might be appropriate to say that I was under pressure. Even I, a 10-year veteran of the martial arts world, couldn’t get an accurate idea of how much fame a second-class person could handle.

You could say it’s a habit of maintaining anonymity.

Fame leads to fame. Can it be compared to compound interest?

Because I was involved with Yeo Il-ye, Hyeok Kirin found out about me and came to visit me.

Because I was involved with Hyuk Kirin, Sima Yan paid attention to me.

As Sima Yan and Sichuan Province were overturned, the news reached the ears of Emperor Yu Jing, and he entered the imperial palace with Hyuk Qilin.

Strictly speaking, the reason I am staying in the imperial palace can be said to be the result of my reputation.

Suddenly a bitter smile appeared.

Although I told Hyuk Kirin to be confident, I was also hesitant and scared. My reputation is going down? Then just get stronger faster than that.

Hocheonan If this bastard has rested for a long time, he should run faster and think about raising his level. He thinks about getting out and resting first.

With that in mind, I opened the window.

Perhaps out of fear of being caught by Hyeok Kirin, I looked towards the eerie pavilion strangely stuck in the corner. I usually drank tea there when I met Yu-kyung.

When I looked to the other side, I saw the building where Hyeok Kirin’s residence was located. I usually met and chatted with Hyuk Kirin in Hyuk Kirin’s room.

“After all, it’s the imperial palace.”

This is all because of the imperial palace.

Not Princess Yuya, but Hyeok Kirin, a martial artist. There will be plenty of people out there who can prove the trajectory of their lives.

Hyuk Kirin had that kind of power.

It was not the power he had because he was a top expert in the fortune-telling school.

Hyuk Kirin’s unique charm that softens Yeo Il-ye’s heart and makes even black cat, a loner who doesn’t know how to treat people, feel good about her.

This is also the reason why I held a magic show for Hyeok Kirin, who bowed his head in his guest room on the day I returned from warning the bandit union.

Hyeok Kirin said that he had achieved nothing on his own.

She captured Yeo Il-ye and became friends with Black Cat. He gave affection to the disciples of the Jeomchang faction and was indignant for the people suffering from banditry.

Hyeok Kirin was a sufficiently remarkable person.

There are no achievements or evidence to prove Hyeok Kirin’s life, but there are probably plenty of witnesses. It’s an imperial palace, so you can’t go in and out.

So…I’ll have to prove it for you.

“Could you please pass on a message to Mr. Dujak?”

The court lady clearly looked embarrassed by my words. In fact, from the point of view of the court lady who knows who Dujak is, it is like a guest of the imperial palace calling the emperor, so she would be at a loss as to what to do.

“Don’t tell Hyeok Kirin Daehyup.”

The court lady must have sensed something in my smiling face, and after quietly saying goodbye, she retreated. After a while, a middle-aged court lady appeared and asked for a message.

“Could you send a message to Inquirer Dujak that you would like to have a nice chat in the performance hall of Gungcheongjeon Hall?”

“I would like you to apply for use of the training hall before then…”

The court lady, who was looking at me with a stern gaze, nodded.

“I will pass on the message to Mr. Dujak. We also permit the use of the training hall.”

“Yes. Also, could you please give a message to Hyeok Kirin Daehyup that we will meet at the training hall?”

“…Of course.”

The middle-aged court lady looked at me for a long time and then expressed her consent.

First, I walked to the training ground. There was a sword with a dead blade in the training hall. It’s been almost a week since I picked up the military flag, but the feeling is somehow unfamiliar. When I leave the imperial palace, I will have to practice my sword skills hard.

As I was holding the sword and moving it little by little, Hyeok Kirin appeared with a puzzled expression on his face.

“Ho Rongin, what is happening all of a sudden?”

“I just want to sweat. Please take it.”

Hyeok Kirin, who caught the false sword I threw, looked at me. I laughed as I looked at his worried expression as to what was going on.

“Try to fight purely with physical strength!”

After saying those words, I rushed at Hyuk Kirin. Hyukkirin raised his sword even though he was taken aback by my attack, which I didn’t know whether to call it a fight or a surprise attack.

Cough!

Because it was a false sword, a rough collision sound rang out, and Hyuk Kirin also took a nose-dive. Hyeok Kirin began to parry my attacks by using a sword technique other than the four-point sword technique.

In order to control the excessive aggression of the Four Sword Techniques, internal energy is essential. Should I consider this as an acceptance of my intention to limit internal power?

Hyeok Kirin was a woman and small in stature, and I was a strong man with a well-trained body, so it was right for me to have the upper hand, but even if I didn’t use my inner strength, I was only a first-class player, and Hyuk Kirin was a top expert.

Differences in physical capabilities are made up for by differences in technical capabilities. No, despite his physical disadvantage, Hyuk Kirin’s technical capabilities overwhelmed me.

Well, I didn’t even expect to win in the first place.

After exchanging words like that for a while, I became out of breath and stopped the sword. I could feel sweat running down my face. Hyeok Kirin was also catching his breath and sweating.

“Hyeok Kirin Daehyup is doing very well. It’s enough to feel proud of yourself.”

“Is this an extension of yesterday’s story?”

Hyeok Gi-rin looked embarrassed, perhaps because my story felt sudden. But soon he smiled bitterly.

“Hehe. Did you set this up to give me confidence? It looks like you’ve worried too much about Warrior Ho.”

In fact, hesitation still remained in my mind. Are my actions right now or not? I wonder if I can handle my actions now.

I felt a little more confident when I saw Hyuk Kirin looking at me with an apologetic expression.

The phrase of enlightenment also pushed my back.

Um…well, okay. If this happens, isn’t it actually fate? When I thought of this, the last lingering regrets and worries that remained in my mind were washed away.

“Hyeok Kirin Daehyup always worried about, respected, and loved someone.”

“Warrior Ho…?”

“That is enough. The life of a person named Hyeok Kirin corrected and enriched the lives of others.”

Okay, now my mind has been cleared up.

Yeo Il-ye was given enlightenment for survival. Tang Do-gyeong was given enlightenment to resolve the situation. Master Unjong was completely coincidental.

During Tang Do-gyeong, even an excuse was good.

Giving Hyeok Kirin enlightenment was my inestimable will.

So let’s just admit it out loud.

I wanted to give Hyuk Kirin enlightenment.

I also didn’t know what path Hyeok Kirin would choose and what conclusion he would reach with Yu Kyeong.

I hoped Hyuk Kirin’s inner self would be filled with pride, not emptiness. I thought that was the minimum compensation that Princess Yuya, who left the nest at a young age to avoid conflict in the imperial family, and Hyeok Kirin, who loves her brother-in-law and resents others, should receive.

“Hyeok Kirin Daehyup has lived for the benefit of many people. He corrected Yeo Il-ye Sojeo’s deviation, resented the behavior of the bandits, and loved the disciples of the Jeomchang faction. If a person knows how to care for others, other people will also like him and care for him.”

Hyukkirin’s eyes opened wide.

“So don’t blame yourself for your shortcomings. Because Hyukkirin Daehyeop is already loved by many people.”

“Ah..!”

Lover, lover, love, love, no giving, no giving, no giving.

Hyeok Kirin’s enlightenment began.
