Anhui, where the original family of the Namgung family is located.

The place was more chaotic and noisy than ever.

This is because people flocked from all over the central plains and the world.

They were mourners.

A huge number of mourners.

It was worth it.

Because someone worthy of that has passed away.

Namgung family head Changcheon Sword King Namgung Myeong.

The head of the Odae family, one of the two major factions of the martial arts faction along with Gupa Ilbang.

He is one of the greatest masters in the world, so much so that he is even called the King of Swords.

The weight of his status and prestige was clearly enough to attract mourners to Anhui.

However, the atmosphere in Anhui was a bit strange for it to be simply an atmosphere filled with mourners.

It may be right to say that it is confusing.

This is because the head of the Namgoong family passed away too suddenly.

There are very few things that a master of that level would do.

Therefore, unconfirmed rumors and speculations were rampant.

“Now that the investigation is over, you’ve started receiving condolences, right?”

“It’s over. They say it was a natural death.”

“What? Natural death? Does that make sense?”

“It doesn’t make sense. Who is the head of the Namgoong family? It’s the sword king, the sword king. Would it make sense for a master of that level to die of natural causes a little after his 60th birthday?”

“Now, wait a minute. So, are you saying that the Namgung family is intentionally trying to hide the true cause of death?”

“Maybe so.”

“Uh huh, how can the Namgung family in the world try to hide the cause of death?”

“That’s right. This is a remark that insults our Anhui martial arts group.”

“Think whatever you want. Because I just made my own judgment.”

“I agree with that statement. It is quite possible.”

“No, these are the people! What possibilities are there?”

“Yes. Not only. For example, how about this? If the head of the Namgung family in the world were to say that he passed away due to a horse attack, it would be something that would crack the pride of the Namgung family. So, of course you won’t try to hide the cause of death?”

“State, don’t buy coins?”

“Well, that seems plausible! It’s really plausible!”

“What nonsense!”

A guesthouse in Anhui filled with mourners.

Even now, heated words were being exchanged there.

These were rumors and speculations that they spread as they pleased.

It was probably not just here.

Because the same things are probably happening all over Anhui.

This is something that the Namgung family is never happy about.

Still, no action could be taken now.

It would be hectic just to pay for the portrait of the deceased matriarch.

however.

“I think it would be wise for everyone not to say unnecessary things.”

A woman’s voice suddenly came from the door of the guest room.

Even though it was noisy, it was a voice that was strangely clear to my ears.

Everyone’s eyes automatically turned towards the door.

A woman wearing mourning clothes.

Are you wearing mourning clothes in Anhui now?

It was definitely someone from the Namgung family.

There was bewilderment on the faces of the mourners in the guest room.

Because I unexpectedly heard a warning from the owner of this portrait.

However, the mourners are all martial arts people who act a bit bossy in their own rooms.

It was a wound to my pride to keep my mouth shut without even saying a word.

furthermore.

‘The portrait is in full swing and you’re walking around outside now? It is natural to be a direct descendant and not a collateral relative. He must have been running errands ordered by his superiors. Wow, how powerful is this person?

Most likely, he is a low-ranking warrior of the Namgung family.

A quote stood out in the eyes of the mourners.

Even so, there was no doubt that he was a person who had enemies in the Namgung family, so he could not confront him directly.

So the choice is.

“Oh, that’s a misunderstanding. We have never exchanged unnecessary words.”

Instead of immediately closing his mouth without making a sound, he saves face by speaking politely but without being subservient to the power of the Namgung family.

It was the choice of the man who first said that natural death made no sense.

“That’s right. It was just a constructive conversation about Danggeum Moorim.”

The man who claimed that there was a possibility of coin poisoning also spoke.

“Oh, that’s right?”

The mourning woman nodded.

A grave expression.

That’s why people weren’t aware of it.

That her words were shortened to informal language.

But I soon had to realize it.

Rather than being convinced and walking away, the mourning woman continued speaking informally in a cold voice.

“Are you saying my ears are wrong now? I heard that the main family was hiding the cause of death, and I even heard clearly that the cause of death was coin-fed.”

The sound of pressure on mourners.

But there was no way the mourners would admit it now.

If we all deny it, there is no evidence.

“Sojeo misheard that… … .”

Swish.

Before she could finish speaking, the mourning woman’s hand took off the black veil covering her face.

That moment.

Some mourners who recognized the face of the mourning woman moaned in horror.

“Ugh, Ugh, the Galaxy Sword Grand Hyeop?!”

“Huh, huh?!”

The reaction was telling.

The identity of the woman in mourning.

Galaxy Sword Namgung Biyeon.

A direct descendant of a direct lineage who is a master of Transcendent Jeong and the youngest brother of the deceased matriarch.

He was a magnate who could not even be compared to the martial artists who wielded power in their own rooms.

“… … .”

“… … .”

The faces of the mourners, who had been spouting absurd rumors and speculations, turned pale.

Of course, I couldn’t even make a sound and kept my mouth shut.

Tap, tap, tap.

Namgung Bi-yeon approached the two men who were saying it was a misunderstanding.

Two men who looked like they were about to lose their composure and urinate at any moment.

My body was shaking like crazy.

thud! thud!

Then, as if he had promised, he went down and hit his head on the floor.

The survival instinct was exerted.

“I’m in mourning, so be thankful to heaven that I can’t see the blood.”

“Ugh, uhhh… … .”

“Uh, uhhh… … .”

The two men let out strange, frightened groans as if they were idiots.

Namgung Bi-yeon looked down coldly at the two men and spoke clearly.

“Wash your ears and listen carefully. The head of the family died of natural causes. There are no doubts whatsoever. What?”

“Well, well, well, natural death! It’s a natural death! It’s a natural death! Is it a natural death? … .”

“Lord, I have committed a mortal sin, I have committed a mortal sin, I have committed a mortal sin, I have committed a mortal sin… … .”

Two men banging their heads on the floor and shouting continuously like crazy people.

That was the only sound that could be heard in the guest room, which had been noisy like a street corner just a moment ago.

Namgung Bi-yeon’s gaze turned to the faces of the remaining humans.

People quickly lower their heads and close their mouths like clams.

Namgung Biyeon’s dry voice struck their ears.

“I will not accept condolences from those here. Don’t wait your turn and go home on your own. It doesn’t matter if there are people who are unfairly treated. The person who is most upset about the rumors in Anhui right now is the family.”

The mourners who had been waiting for their turn inside the guesthouse were greeted at once.

***

The rumor spread quickly.

To Zhuge Qinghe and his party who set foot on Anhui.

“Ho, have you heard, soldier Zhuge?”

Gokwigang, who had gone to check on the sympathy of the streets filled with mourners, rushed up in a huff and said.

“Of course I heard it. The commotion that happened last night.”

Zhuge Qinghe calmly received the words.

“Huh, you’re really quick as expected. How can you hear the news so quickly?”

“It’s not that difficult for someone who keeps their ears open.”

“… … .”

Qu Yugang knew that he wouldn’t be able to understand this odd soldier if he continued his conversation, so he quickly moved on to the topic he wanted to talk about.

“How on earth did this happen? No matter what, the world’s Namgung family kicked out the mourners. And that’s not just one or two… … .”

“It’s a warning.”

“Warning?”

“A warning that no one should make a fuss about the matriarch’s cause of death.”

“Does that mean that what happened yesterday was not a personal action of the Galaxy Sword Grand Association?”

“Of course. Of course, it must be the will of the family. Even if the Galaxy Sword Grand Hyeop is the younger brother of the late head of the family, there is no way he would kick out a mourner out of impulsive emotion.”

Zhuge Qinghe’s unstoppable confidence.

I couldn’t help but understand the exact logic right away.

Military positions in the Murim Alliance were never obtained for free through bloodline.

Rather, his brain was such that he stood out like a genius among other soldiers.

“Well, in that case, shouldn’t you, Zhuge Commander, also be self-respecting? If the Namgung family is displeased… … .”

Qu Yugang had already figured out that Zhuge Qinghe had not come to Anhui just to pay his respects.

That he had come to confirm with his own eyes any doubts that had arisen in his mind.

“Don’t worry. I’ll take care of it.”

“… … .”

However, if you say that, you have no choice but to keep your mouth shut.

In many ways, she was a woman with no social skills.

He was the type of person who would obviously have difficulty in social life, but it could be said that he was born into such a status by luck.

Even if you curse, there will be many people in the world who will be pleased.

‘Well, even if I worry about you, what kind of reaction will you get?’

Gokwigang grumbled inwardly.

“Then, please register for the Gok Daehyup and come. I will arrange the accommodation for you.”

“Oh, I understand.”

The Gogwi River moved again.

***

“Surin, please go to Namgung House and register your turn.”

A woman covering her face with cotton thread.

However, just by her outline, one could sense that she was an unusual beauty.

“Yes, manager.”

The female warrior who was accompanying the woman lowered her head.

It was clear that the lady’s face was Yeon Su-rin, a single-hearted girl.

Then, the identity of the Myeonsa woman called Bujangju was also obvious.

Hwang Bo-seol, the deputy commander of Geumryong Battlefield.

She, the best beauty in Gangnam and now more famously known as Madame Saengbul, has finally set foot on Anhui.
