Geomseong’s heart was pounding. That’s because there’s something he’s hiding in his arms.

Of course, there was nothing strange about it.

Isn’t Aewoldam Giyeon not a spring book, just a novel that tells the pure and beautiful story of a scholar and a scholar from a certain sect?

Of course, there were some scenes like that in between.

Still, I hadn’t done anything wrong, so even if I got caught, it wouldn’t be a problem at all.

There was just one thing: it was a little embarrassing.

He is a swordsman who already thought that he was undignified and unqualified as a scholar. After breaking away from the mental state, such thoughts have diminished a lot, but she still wanted to be a great teacher and writer to her students, so this disheveled appearance was not something she wanted to show.

“I’m glad that Master looks good these days.”

“Uh, so?”

“Yes. You look good too. I’m glad you’ve found some peace of mind.”

I don’t think so. But if that’s what Hongryeon said, then that’s probably what it is. Geomsung nodded slightly. Hongryeon smiled at her and calmly walked away.

“By the way, Master. What are you doing these days?”

In the past, before he was freed from his mental demons, Geomseong would always meditate to calm his mind.

However, I heard that with Yuwol’s help, I was able to relieve a lot of the burden on my mind and meditate less.

There was also a story that if you go to the garden where she always sat, it is often not there.

When Hongryeon asked with a smile, Geomseong thought for a moment and then smiled brightly.

“I’ve been reading some books these days.”

Hongryeon was impressed by Geomseong’s words. As expected, Master. Even though he has overcome the barrier to becoming a superman, he reads the books of martial arts and tries to teach them to his disciples.

“Aren’t you reading too many uneducated books? Master also said that before. You should always chase after radish, but if it goes too far, it becomes an obsession and you become even more distant.”

“…I did… right?”

“How about reading a book like this sometimes?”

As Hongryeon shook the book in her hand, Sword Saint’s eyes trembled. When she was about to respond after her lips were quivering for a moment.

“Master! Ambassador!”

It was Sayoon. She came running with a smile on her face full of innocence and said out of breath.

“Are you here?”

“Yes. What’s going on?”

“I’m going to have tea with my other sister-in-laws right now. If you’re not busy, how about eating together?”

Come to think of it, I still have the Cheonil Plum Tea I made last year. There are also snacks that Yohwan made that are perfect for spring. Hongryeon looked at Geomseong.

“Master. Are you going?”

The two disciples were looking at him expectantly. Geomseong could not ignore that gaze.

Aren’t they both disciples who are extremely precious to him?

Therefore, Geomseong could only nod his head even as he felt the book in his arms.

Hyeonhwi and Hwiho were waiting for tea.

“What about the other kids?”

” Resting separately… No, Ambassador. What if you bring it with you…”

Hyeonhwi, who was always blunt, looked at the book in Hongryeon’s hand and sighed. Although I respect Hongryeon like my own sister, I have nothing to say every time I see her like this.

Especially when there are children like Hwiho and Sayoon who are still young.

Hongryeon shrugged her shoulders at her scolding.

“What are you doing with this much? Hwiho. Are you okay?”

“Ah. eww. that. Yes, yes…”

Hwiho, who is very shy, turns his face red to the point where it contrasts with his blue hair. Hongryeon saw that and put the book next to her.

“Don’t do that next time.”

“Okay. okay. But the kids will have to figure it out eventually.”

“Just try dating once and say that.”

Hongryeon kept her mouth shut at Hyeonhwi’s words. There’s someone I like now, and I confessed to it, but I can’t say I’m in a relationship yet.

As such, I couldn’t refute her words.

“…that. Don’t you have to try it to be able to say that?”

Then, when Geomseong added another word, Hyeonhwi opened his eyes and looked at Geomseong.

Geomseong spoke cautiously, staring at the book Hongryeon had left with a trembling gaze that was unusual for her.

“Truth can be found anywhere. There is enlightenment in the small movements of a child walking on the side of the road, and there is enlightenment in the flapping of a butterfly’s wings. So hwiya. Please don’t think there’s a problem with books like that.”

Hearing Geomseong’s calm words, Hyeonhwi closed his eyes for a moment and thought.

Of course, I don’t think there is truth in those Spring Books, but these are still the words of the teacher.

If so, it might be worth reading for yourself too.

“Yes. All right. Hmm… Then, Ambassador. Can I take a look at that too?”

“Huh? Doesn’t it matter?”

I hadn’t read it until now, and I wasn’t interested, so I didn’t pay any attention to it.

The romance novels I recently secretly read, one or two at a time, were much more interesting than I expected.

Of course, there were some parts where the level was high, but I wondered if there was any problem since I wasn’t a kid.

Every time I saw it, my heart pounded, but I didn’t think it was bad.

And sometimes, it was quite fun to imagine myself and June being substituted in there.

In that situation, when Hyeonhwi said that the book was bad, he got angry without realizing it and said something.

And it wasn’t particularly wrong.

Things that happen between people were also an opportunity to gain enlightenment, and since men and women represent yang and yin, enlightenment could be achieved through achieving harmony.

Therefore, Geomseong felt proud that Hyeonhwi showed interest. It was a time when I felt like I had somehow spread a novel.

“Then, Master. Can I see it too?”

When Sayun asked with sparkling eyes, Geomseong smiled.

“I think it’s still too early for you.”

Sayun became sullen.

The conversation didn’t stop even while we were drinking tea. Of course, it wasn’t a story related to spring books or romance novels.

This is the location of Geomseong, the chief seal of Hongseongmun. So what we need to talk about here is just talk about martial arts.

In particular, Sayun, who was showing results from her recent training, had quite a few things she wanted to ask in the presence of her teacher and ambassador.

“I sparred with Chaejin not long ago. They say that Yu’s enlightenment is important. But we value enlightenment in lectures, right? Which one is better?”

Geomseong thought for a moment. Yu and River. Which of them was better was a topic of discussion for many martial artists.

“Because of the term “competent steelmaking,” many people think that steel is weak. But reality is not necessarily like that.”

“Yu and Kang can be seen as having a relationship where they cannibalize each other. It is not important which enlightenment is better, but what is important is how much stronger the person who accepts it is.”

In the end, you have to do your best. It was a pretty basic answer, but it was also the correct answer.

Whether enlightenment or martial arts, in the end, if the person using it is not correct and strong, it is nothing but a struggle.

Following his explanation, Geomseong looked happily at Hongryeon, who explained it to Sayoon.

What a great disciple.

Recently, I like the fact that he is showing his desire to become stronger even more.

“Let’s look at a simple example. Think of June.”

“Ah.”

Sayoon nodded.

Yuwol’s martial arts skills are weak. Although Chae is said to have learned Taijiquan, Oh Geum-hee, and Gunwangbo, he is weak as a martial artist to the point where Sayun can overpower him in ten seconds.

But is he really weak? If asked, Sayoon could firmly say no.

“A person’s strength cannot be measured simply by strength alone. It’s like that. In the end…”

Hongryeon thought for a moment and spoke calmly.

“I guess what’s important is how strong your mind and will are.”

“Hmm. I admit that too. By the way, Ambassador.”

Hyeonhwi smiled at Hongryeon.

“The Ambassador thinks very highly of the guest.”

“What. Because we meet often. Shouldn’t we admit what needs to be admitted?”

“I think so too.”

Geomseong nodded. He was quite happy that his favorite student recognized him and viewed him favorably.

“Master too?”

“Oh! I also think the owner of the house is great!”

“Well, me too…”

It’s so popular with everyone. Hongryeon chuckled.

“Anyway. You have to let go of thoughts about what kind of realization is important and think about becoming stronger.”

“Okay.”

“Now. Then will it happen soon?”

All the snacks were eaten and the car was empty. When Hongryeon spoke, Geomseong stood up immediately.

“Oh. Master.”

“Uh, huh?”

“I was curious about something while training earlier. Can we spar for a moment?”

Geomseong thought about Hyeonhwi’s question for a moment and then smiled.

“Of course.”

In the end, it was toward the end of the night training that Geomseong obtained the lower volume of Aewoldam Giyeon.

For some reason, I couldn’t read the book because I had so much work to do.

But now that the night training is over, I can spend my time freely, so I can read a book.

Or should I just come and see his face for a moment?

Geomseong, who was smiling and thinking about how to spend the night, noticed Hongryeon entering the room.

Geomseong put the book in his arms and headed to Hongryeon’s room.

“Ryeon. Don’t go in for a moment.”

“Oh. Yes.”

Geomseong opened the door. Then what caught her eye was the clothes being made on the desk.

“Do you make clothes again?”

“Ah. yes. Hehehe.”

Hongryeon smiled brightly. He’s really talented and kind. and…

“…Men’s clothes?”

“Ah. yes. I’m going to make a spring outfit for Yu Guest. Because I received a lot of things.”

A soft smile appears on Hongryeon’s lips as she holds the clothes being made. Geomsung tilted his head and looked at her face.

“Hmm? Why are you doing that?”

“Uh… no. It’s nothing. But… are you just making his clothes?”

“No. I’m planning to make one for my sisters and one for my teacher…”

“I see… Hehe. okay. Work hard.”

“Yes. By the way, what brought you here?”

“No. just. Do something.”

With a grin, Geomseong walked out of Hongryeon’s room.

Then, he closed his mouth as if thinking for a moment and then shook his head.
