“How did you recognize it?”

“No matter how much you wear masks while doing this, there is a problem with not knowing the Lord of Cheonhwa Palace. Even if you go to another larger guesthouse, you will recognize everything.”

There are many people who cannot recognize people and suffer major nose injuries.

In order to prepare for this, the owners of larger guest rooms or kiru remembered the faces of most important figures in the martial arts world.

There was nothing particularly strange. And even if you cover it with cotton thread, it doesn’t mean that your face can’t be seen at all.

“I see… But this isn’t a big guesthouse.”

“We have prepared it because it is expected to grow in the future. They say it’s Yubi Muhwan.”

She chuckled.

“You’re definitely not an ordinary guest drinker.”

I admit it.

In the first place, would an ordinary country housekeeper become known to the Murim Alliance and political factions?

And I was deliberately not stopping the rumor from spreading.

In the first place, I was aiming for that to carry out the next scenario.

Before I knew it, I saw Hongryeon and Chaejin next to me.

These two must have known her since she came in. Seeing as I’ve been staring at it since a while ago.

She smiled bitterly as she received both of their gazes.

“It’s been a while.”

“Yes. It’s been a while.”

“It’s been a while.”

Cheonryuyeong, the lord of Cheonhwagung Palace.

Although he is not a superhuman who can freely use strength like a sword saint or apprentice, he is a strongman right in front of the wall of superhumanity.

The warrior, who, although clumsy, could draw out strong energy, looked around.

Among the several martial artists sitting for consultation, some seemed nervous.

Originally, the martial arts people, especially bounty hunters and monster hunters, had many people holding grudges here and there.

In such a situation, the fact that the Queen of Cheonhwagung came out in person could mean that she came out after receiving a request.

“Looks like there are people getting stabbed?”

At Cheon Ryu-yeong’s calm words, the feet of a martial artist who was trying to sneak out of the guesthouse stiffened. Cheon Ryu-young smiled at him.

“The wheels are also good. Not long ago, you were tracking down an item at a request from Hyeongilgwan, and after getting it, you ran away, right?”

The man called Yang Gwe gritted his teeth. Cheon Ryu-yeong spoke calmly to him, who was standing calmly without drawing his weapon or running away.

“Hyeongilgwan has decided to forgive you as long as you return the Chowan sword you took. therefore. How about leaving it behind?”

“…This guesthouse is protected by Hongseongmun Gate. You don’t plan on fighting here, do you?”

She smiled and stood up.

“You don’t plan on living here for 1,000,000 years, do you? You don’t want to get your head cut off the moment you leave the guesthouse, right?”

“Qu.”

Yang Gue let out a groan, then sighed and took out a dagger from his pocket. He put it on the table and went out, and Cheon Ryu-yeong took the dagger.

“What is that?”

“Chowan Sword is a dagger used by a thief called Muyeongmatu in the past. That in itself doesn’t have much of an effect, but it is said that you can find traces of Muyeongmatu by using the Chowan Sword.”

“Oh… If it’s Muyoungmatu, then…”

“That’s right. He is a thief who infiltrated the Shaolin Temple and stole the Daehwandan.”

Gando is a rare thief who greatly harmed the Shaolin Temple. Muyeongmatu succeeded in stealing here and there, and eventually even touched the Shaolin Temple.

The man who stole the Daehwandan, a treasure of the Shaolin Temple and ran away, became a public figure of the martial arts faction, and was later caught by the Cheonrajimang, led by the Shaolin Temple, and eventually executed.

However, he did not reveal where he stored the stolen items until the end.

In the end, no one knew the whereabouts of several treasures, including the Daehwandan, and there were rumors that the location of Bigo, where he had hidden stolen goods, could be found using the items he had recently used.

“Wow… a great welcome.”

To be honest, I also wanted the Great Hwandan, but the process to obtain it was too complicated, there were many forces that had to be enemies to obtain it, and there was a lot of work to be done, so I wasn’t putting my hands on it right now.

Our scenario was also a negative opinion about finding it now.

“Do you want it?”

“Well… In the end, Daehwandan is also an elixir to increase resistance, right? I don’t really want it that much.”

“Haha. It is difficult to call Daehwandan a simple elixir. This is especially true when you think about the materials used to make it. When highly virtuous monks attain Buddhahood, the prayer beads imbued with the energy of the Buddha that they radiate become the material. That is why the Shaolin Temple considers the Great Hwandan as their history and proof of their Buddhist faith, not as an elixir.”

“Wow. Then it must be really valuable.”

“As expected, you know a lot.”

“Isn’t this a story from the Shaolin Secret History written at the Shaolin Temple? haha. This is a story that everyone who is interested in that field knows.”

Cheon Ryu-yeong returned with the Chowan sword and sat down.

Then he asked with his characteristic relaxed expression.

“Then, do you know where Muyoungmatu’s remark is?”

“If you knew that, you would have been looking for it already.”

Actually, I know that.

Nothing good will come of saying that, so why say it?

I shook my head and she narrowed her eyes and shrugged.

“I’ve heard a lot about your story. For a single guest, he has a lot of knowledge. And he is providing a lot of help to Hong Seong-moon. Also, the consultation is great. Then I think you know what I meant earlier.”

“I have heard about the situation at Cheonhwagung. I heard that in the past, one of Cheonhwagung’s disciples betrayed the palace and committed suicide to the Demonic Cult?”

It was such a famous story that everyone knew it, but Cheon Ryu-yeong’s face turned red with shame.

Well, it is said that a disciple of a righteous sect committed suicide to the Demonic Cult. Even if she had nothing to do with him, as the head of that sect, he would inevitably feel embarrassed.

This is especially true if you have Hongryeon, the great disciple of Hong Seong-moon, and Chae-jin, the great disciple of Moon Wol-jeong, right in front of you.

“Keuhum. Well, we’ll talk about that later. Anyway, can you find it? Of course, I’m not asking you to do it for free. I will pay for that.”

“It would be faster to request it from Gaegaong or Haomun. If you are looking for someone.”

“I have made several requests to the opening.”

“But you probably didn’t request it from Haomun.”

It would be unwilling for the political faction to request Hao Wen.

She sighed, as if my words had hit the nail on the head.

“You can entrust the request to Hao Wen on your behalf.”

In the end, you’ll have to close your eyes and say nothing. Cheon Ryu-young thought for a moment and then shook his head.

It looks like he doesn’t want to get Hao Wen’s help either.

“Then how about doing it like this?”

She took out a small pouch from her bosom. When it was opened, there was a jewel inside. There are as many as ten precious jewels worth at least twenty gold coins each.

She placed it on the table and spoke calmly.

“The fact that this guest is under Hong Seong-moon’s protection means that you do not have a normal relationship with Hong Seong-moon.”

“Oh my.”

Hongryeon blushed. Then, he twisted his body as if he was embarrassed, and Chaejin frowned.

“You don’t have a normal relationship with Moonwoljeong, right?”

“Uh, yes. anyway. Then, if Hong Seong-moon wins this sparring, I will give you this and a few other things you want.”

“What if Hong Seong-moon loses?”

“We would like you to take this and help us.”

“The information I get is generally through Haomun. So it won’t be much different from just requesting it…”

“Of course, it’s not just that information.”

She said seriously.

“I heard that many people respect your knowledge and judgment and call you ‘Teacher Yu’. So, I would like you to stay at Cheonhwa Palace until we catch her. of course. I will also pay the cost here.”

So, if Hong Seongmun loses, are you asking me to work at Cheonhwagung until they catch Cheonhwagung’s disciple who committed suicide to the Demonic Cult?

It’s not bad.

“Of course.”

“June!”

“Because I don’t have the slightest idea that Hong Seong-moon will lose. And can I choose what I will receive at Cheonhwagung?”

“Well, unless it’s something like the treasures of Cheonhwagung. What are you planning to ask for?”

“Please give me 10 pieces of Heavenly Flower Goddess and the seal, if you have one.”

The Cheonhwa Shrine is an elixir that can be made at Cheonhwa Palace. It is a precious elixir that can be obtained by completing all events related to Cheonhwa Palace.

Yesterday, I spoke to Geomseong and found out about the current status of Hong Seong-moon’s disciples, and I heard that some of them have achieved enlightenment and have grown to a higher level.

If so, now is the time to practice and increase your inner strength.

In addition to the Ami cluster, Hyeonhwi and Yuhee have the elixir they obtained from Amipa, but it may not be enough.

Therefore, the Cheonhwa Shrine of Cheonhwagung would be of sufficient help to Hongseongmun.

“You have great confidence.”

“Shouldn’t we do this?”

There is silence for a moment. Among them, it was Cheon Ryu-young who eventually nodded.

“Let’s do it that way.”

I guess there was nothing more to talk about. After putting on the cotton yarn, she glanced at Hongryeon and smiled leisurely and said to me.

“Next time we will meet at Cheonhwagung.”

“Yes. I’m not shameless enough to ask you to bring me the Heavenly Flower Goddess. I’ll go get it later with Hong Seong-moon.”

She burst out laughing and left.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when she, who had caused a storm in the guest house, left, and Hongryeon held me tightly and asked me seriously.

“No, is that okay?”

“What wouldn’t work? I’m not confident…”

“There is no way!”

Hongryeon’s eyes sparkled. I patted her shoulder and said with a smile.

“It’s a good opportunity. If we get the elixir this time, Hong Seong-moon will be able to become stronger.”

“Isn’t that what you want to write?”

“Even if I had it, where would I use it? ah. And Chaejin. If I get it, I’ll give it to you too. So, I would like you to help Hong Seong-moon with his training.”

“Um… well. great. But if Hong Seong-moon is defeated.”

“I don’t care.”

“You said what if. Anyway, even if I lose… I’ll go with you, right?”

Moon Wol-jeong is not involved in this bet, and she is my escort. Even at Cheonhwagung, there won’t be any complaints.

The consultation was roughly over and it was time to close the guest room. I closed the guest room door and headed to the office, smiling and saying to Hongryeon who followed me.

“Are you nervous?”

“It would be a lie if I said no, right?”

There’s no need to burden yourself like that.

Even if we lose at Hongseongmun, all we have to do is go and help with that event and come back.

Of course, I will ask for help from not only Chaejin but also Hong Seongmoon.

Anyway, the event was planned to involve Sayoon and a few members of Hong Seong-moon, so there was no problem.

In other words, it is a situation where it is beneficial to win, and it is okay to lose.

But Hongryeon didn’t seem to think so.

Tsk. I can’t help it.

I walked up to her and hugged her lightly.

Hongryeon, who was slightly stiff as if embarrassed, stopped and gently hugged me.

A sweet, pleasant scent tickles your nose.

“There is no need to feel burdened.”

“It’s a burden. You’re going somewhere else…”

“It’s not like we’re going forever.”

“Still…”

Kuuk. Hongryeon’s strong body came closer. She put her face on my shoulder and sighed.

“And that the elixir is also given to us.”

“After all, aren’t you in the same boat as Hong Seong-moon? If Hong Seong-moon does well, then I will do well too, so don’t feel that pressure.”

After patting Hongryeon on the back, I relaxed my arms and she slowly fell away from me with regret.

“…Never. Because I won’t lose.”

“I’m looking forward to it.”

Hongryeon went in and a little while later, Chaejin came into the office.

“What’s going on?”

“Just like that. Would you like to wake up for a moment?”

I stood up, and Chaejin hesitated and came in front of me.

There was a lot of anticipation in the eyes looking up at me.

So I gave her a light hug, and then Chaejin smiled and hugged my waist tightly with both arms.

With a nice scent different from red lotus tickling my nose, she slightly raised her tiptoes and whispered in my ear in a confident tone.

“Don’t worry even if Hong Seong-moon loses. Because I will be by your side.”

That’s really reliable.

Still, the best result is for Hong Seong-moon to win…

“I hope you can help me a lot.”

“Don’t worry.”

A smile appeared on Chaejin’s lips.

“When the Sword Saint is here, I will visit Hongseongmun and spar with him. I’m not here for a moment… but it’ll be okay, right?”

Of course it’s okay.

If Chaejin spars with you, you will become stronger.
