***

The next morning, after finishing my training as usual, I sat in the garden.

Even if you build a new guesthouse, it doesn’t mean there is no work at all, but just stopping the guesthouse operation gave me a lot of free time.

“Seeing you so relaxed makes me feel at ease.”

I was out in the garden, idly making out, when Chae-jin came up to me with a fresh face, as if she had just finished her morning training, and said,

I’m eager.

In fact, even if I entered the realm of superhuman, I couldn’t stop training. No, I had to do more.

Because handling strong energy is a very dangerous task.

Of course, a person of Chaejin’s level would never make a mistake and go crazy, but it wasn’t easy for her to polish it and make it more refined.

“By the way, shouldn’t you go to Munwoljeong?”

“Yes?”

Chaejin’s face, which had been smiling brightly, hardened. Chaejin, who was shaking with her eyes wide open as if she couldn’t believe it, looked at me as if she was about to shed tears at any moment.

“Are you… going to throw me away?”

huh?

What are you talking about?

“No. No matter how much you learn from the Sword Saint, your martial arts are those of Moonwoljeong. So, I think I need to receive some teachings from my apprentice.”

In addition, it was known through the Murim League that Chaejin had risen to the rank of superhuman, and Munwoljeong continued to send letters to her.

They too will be hoping that Chaejin, who has become a superhuman, will come back at least once.

“Uh… Well, it was something like that. Ahahaha…”

Chae-jin sighed, perhaps feeling relieved only then. Then he gently sits down next to me and naturally leans his head on my shoulder.

“It’s definitely not wrong. The Sword Saint is teaching me the basics of how to use strong energy… but if you want to properly learn the Moonlight Blade, it’s better to learn it from your father.”

As he says, he doesn’t seem to have any intention of going.

I grabbed Chaejin’s hand, which was on my thigh and was stroking it. Chaejin, who was smiling softly and playing with my finger with hers, looked at me with a coy gaze.

“…If you have to go, can’t we go together?”

Come together.

“That wouldn’t be bad either.”

“Really?!”

“Why are you so surprised?”

I can’t run a guest house anyway, so it wouldn’t be a bad idea to visit for a while.

“Huh? Ugh?! When should we go?! Shall we go now? huh?! Let’s go right away!”

“You can’t go right away.”

I have to go once the appointment letter comes out.

“Guest guest!”

At that time, a servant came towards the garden.

“Someone from the Murim Alliance has arrived.”

person? I saw a woman walking behind Jeomsoy.

Ya Joo-hee, was an architect who belonged to the Murim Alliance.

“Hello. I came here to help with the construction of the guesthouse.”

I patted Chaejin, who was wary. I was already planning to ask the architect for a favor, but he came at the right time.

“Welcome. ruler. Let’s go inside.”

As soon as she went inside, Joohee Ya took out several drawings. After checking them, I let out a groan.

It’s always been like that, but if anything, illness makes people devastated.

Especially in situations where you can afford it.

“Ummmm…”

The guest house she proposed was a four-story building with many rooms and an annex, so it could accommodate many guests.

And on the first floor, there is also a restaurant like last time.

However, when I tried to choose only that, there were one or two things that I regretted.

Especially since I was given a choice like this. I held up one of the drawings she brought.

“Can you make a hot spring using ley lines?”

“Yes. However, the cost is a bit high and the ley line must be stabilized using internal energy during monthly operation.”

I was worried after checking the design drawing that Ya Joo-hee showed me.

Certainly, even in the Heavenly Moon, outstanding Taoists used ley lines to erupt lava or cause earthquakes.

I didn’t know I could use it like this.

“If you request it from Changwoon Hall, they will dispatch monks. They could identify the ley lines and cause hot springs to gush out here. To me, the ground here doesn’t seem to have any major problems. However…”

There is a well used in the guesthouse, and there is abundant groundwater, so lava flows underneath it to heat the groundwater.

“You won’t have to pay for firewood when taking a bath, but the initial cost will be high.”

“Yes. Still, if you use additional facilities, you can build a separate bathhouse. As you know, when a hot spring is built, it becomes a local tourist attraction. We can add more guests to our guesthouse.”

“Hmmmm…”

It’s not a bad suggestion.

As she said, anyway, having a hot spring means it becomes a famous place.

The problem is that it is not easy to manage as it involves forcibly moving the ley lines to produce hot springs…

“What level of master must be to use internal skills?”

“Well… it will be difficult at a moderate level. Among the hot springs created in a similar way, there is a hot spring operated by the Tohwan Sect, and it is said that the master of the place infused his energy into stabilizing the ley lines and suffered for several days.”

“When do I have to decide on this?”

“I hope you make a decision within a month at the latest.”

“Hmm. I understand. What about other facilities?”

“I think we could build the sponsorship side a little bigger and make another one. Also, the annex was expanded…”

It’s not a bad suggestion. Because I want to make sure I make it right.

I nodded while watching the drawings of the newly created guest cups being added.

To get it to the level I want, I think I’ll have to use up almost all of the remaining land around here.

“Then let me ask you a favor.”

“Yes.”

I said I would think about it, but it was as if I had already decided.

It is true that if a hot spring is built, the business of the guests will be better.

Of course, compared to the money I earned, the guest’s income was actually not that large.

Nevertheless, the reason I tried to build a proper guesthouse was to easily obtain information through the people who visited my guesthouse.

Anyway, there will always be a crisis.

To do that, it would be better to have a lot of people come.

“Are you there?!”

It was when Ya Joo-hee left and I was thinking about things to add to the new guesthouse and new workers to hire.

I heard a loud shout outside and I immediately got up and left.

There was already a swordsman as an escort at the door. While I was talking to Ya Joo-hee, Chae-jin must have already gone up.

When Geomseong found me, his expression brightened for a moment, then his expression returned to his usual expression, he looked outside and spoke.

“Who is it?”

“Oh? Sword Saint!”

He was a military officer in Seomhwachon. When I saw the Sword Saint and bowed to him, I approached him and asked, puzzled.

“Are you looking for me?”

“Oh. yes. It’s no different…”

He swallowed his saliva and spoke with a tense expression on his face.

“Someone came from the center.”

“In the center? Why?”

When Geomseong looked puzzled, I grabbed her shoulder.

“It’s time to take up a government position.”

I took a clean bath and changed my clothes.

Not the black long clothes that I usually wear, but the clothes that Hongryeon made me a while ago.

When I came out, dressed properly, Geomseong flinched and took a step back.

“Why are you doing that?”

“Oh, no…”

As she glances at my face, her cheeks turn red. I took a step closer and Geomsung hesitated and took a step back.

“That… those clothes.”

“It was made by Hongryeon.”

The Sword Saint’s expression was so strange that it was difficult to explain.

After moaning for a while, she let out a small sigh.

“Well… it suits you.”

“Thank you.”

“…He is my student, but he is very dexterous.”

“Right?”

“…I’m like that too…”

“To that extent?”

“I can’t… but… ah. This is the only way to gain dignity as a teacher…”

I felt like I knew roughly why Geomseong was worried.

After grunting for a while, I approached the Sword Saint, who had slumped his shoulders and had a downcast look on his face.

“Na Yerin.”

“…Yes.”

“No matter how Hongryeon becomes a superhuman, the fact that you are her teacher remains the same. It is also true that you were a great help and guide for her to get there. So don’t be disappointed by it”

“….Yeah, right? Ahaha. After all, you are amazing. You always make me feel relieved!”

Her face sparkled, as if the glumness from earlier was a lie. I patted Geomseong’s back.

“Now. Then go.”

“Hmm!!”

I went outside with Geomseong. Several villagers and martial arts people who spotted me heading to the government office greeted me, and I greeted them face to face.

“It’s amazing how a great person called Shinsan Seonja gets along so flawlessly with the village people.”

“It’s not particularly surprising.”

There are many people like that among the people I know. In the case of Namhae Noong, he is just like a neighborhood grandfather.

“When people gain authority, they tend to try to live a life worthy of that authority.”

“Hahaha.”

It’s not wrong. They say that a place makes a person. It would be human nature to become arrogant when one ascends to a high position.

“But there are people who don’t do that.”

I looked at the Sword Saint, and she looked up at me.

“Who?”

you.

Although she is a member of the Hongseongmun clan and one of the most powerful women in the world, she appears to have no authority at all as she gets along well with her students, runs errands, and even becomes sullen when they grumble.

Maybe that is the original form of the Sword Saint.

I thought that Geomseong might be even more pampered when he wasn’t a Jangmun man.

“It’s okay if you don’t know.”

“U. Are you trying to hide it again?”

Pat pat. Geomseong punched my arm and puffed out my cheeks, and I just smiled once.

After talking with her, I arrived at the government office and saw a fancy carriage and quite a few soldiers waiting in front of the government office.

After receiving their greetings and going inside, a well-dressed old official was waiting.

“Your Majesty’s people! June, obey the command of the emperor!!”

I got down on one knee in front of the old official. He looked at me solemnly and immediately unfolded a scroll with the emperor’s name written on it.

“Up until now, Baekjeong Yuyue has done many things for the world and the empire, and his outstanding knowledge is…”

Your voice is good too.

He read the appointment letter according to the imperial order without changing his expression, and only after chatting for a while did he roll up the scroll.

“Case Summary June, follow the Emperor’s command!!”

“Thank you, Emperor, for your grace.”

I received the scroll with both hands. I saw it in Moonlight Moon as well.

There were cases where government positions were given when experiencing events in the imperial palace.

Of course, it is an official position that is almost an honorary position with no restrictions as it requires active work in the martial arts group.

But the treatment changed greatly depending on whether it was there or not.

Now it’s in my hands.

“This means that we must live by the sword of His Majesty the Emperor!!”

And a treasured sword is given.

It was proof that I had become an official belonging to the military.

“Case summary Do not forget that Yuwol must protect the world, protect the imperial family, and carry out righteousness!!”

“I will obey His Majesty’s orders.”

I lowered my head, and he smiled in satisfaction.

After finishing his business, the old official left.

I told him to take a break, but he said he had a lot of work to do.

Officials are usually busy.

“This is true. What a case study. It’s a pretty high seat.”

Well, that’s right. Although it is an honorary position, it is no different from the lord of a castle in terms of rank and file.

“He is single, has a lot of money, and holds a high official position…”

The wise man grinned.

“The threshold will be worn down by the hawks. I think there will probably be hawks not only from the martial arts companies but also from famous companies and large conglomerates.”

“Hahaha. Is that really true?”

Of course it seems like that, and a lot of it was already coming in.

Of course, I was cutting it all out.

That’s why I laughed, and the wise man also laughed.

And Geomseong did not laugh.
