*** ***

Important matters at Podalap Palace cannot be decided by the palace owner alone. Since Podalapgung is basically a guardian monastery that guards secret monks and lamas, it was necessary to meet lamas of each sect and obtain their consent to Podalapgung’s actions.

Asking for consent itself was not difficult. This is because secret monks and the lamas who are their teachers do not particularly try to exert influence on Podalapgung unless he does something that goes against the rules. Although this work was done in a far away place, there was no reason for them to object as it was to reduce blood loss.

However, lamas and hermits were people who repeated various practices like breathing.

Silent meditation, wall practice, fasting, meditation…etc.

It wasn’t difficult to ask for consent, but since you couldn’t disturb the lamas and emissaries involved in their practice, meeting them was a task in itself.

‘Thanks to that, I had no choice but to postpone my martial arts practice with Sarah today.’

Lanojingbu smiled and hid the gift for Sarah behind his back.

[Perhaps because of the magician Yeo Il-ye, Sarah seems to be interested in swords. Yeo Il-ye definitely has many elements that kids Sarah’s age would consider idols. Sarah will be happy if you give her a sword as a gift.]

Following Chai Rang’s advice, Ranojingbu chose Sarah’s gift and waited for Sarah to return soon.

How much would Sarah like it? He might hug me tightly and say, ‘I like you, Dad!’ If you do that, I will be able to give you a hundred or a thousand swords.

Chai Rang looked at Rano Jingbu, who was laughing heartily while hiding his sword behind his back, with an expression that said he could not stop him. I promised to spend my evenings with my family even if I played outside. I didn’t have to wait long before Sarah came into the house sulking.

“Are you here? Sarah.”

“Mother~”

Sara fell into Chai Rang’s arms. Chai Rang thought as he patted Sarah’s back, who seemed to be in some kind of heartache. Maybe the response to the gift might be better than expected?

From the corner of my eye, I saw that Rano Jinbu was also thinking the same thing and was taking out the sword he had hidden behind his back with expectant eyes.

“What happened outside?”

“Hyuyu, I’m worried about what to do with magician Hocheonan.”

What does this mean? While Chairang was blinking, Ranojingbu was finally organizing the thread of the sword to give to Sarah. Ranojinbu waited for Sara to look in his direction. Rano Jinbu smiled as he imagined the surprised expression on Sarah’s face that he would soon see.

“Hey, mother.”

“Why are you doing that?”

“What are some ways for a woman to look good to a man?”

Cheer up!

The short sword that Lano Jinbu was holding fell to the floor.

*** ***

“I’ll be back!”

“Yes. Have a nice time.”

“….”

Sara rushed to the lodgings where Ho Cheon-an and his group were staying, holding the small sword she had received as a gift yesterday. As soon as Sarah saw the short sword her father dropped, she thought this was it.

‘This is it!’

The idea of killing two birds with one stone – ditching and catching crayfish – came to mind.

‘I’m asking Yeo Il-ye to teach me how to use a sword!’

Sarah revised her evaluation of Lano Jinbu in her mind. Thank you for giving me such a timely and helpful gift! I thought my tear ducts were so weak these days that I was tired of dealing with my father, but it seems I was mistaken.

After all, my father is strong!

With this in mind, Sara arrived at Hocheonan and her group’s lodgings with brisk steps.

The timing of their arrival was just right, just as Ho Cheon-an and Yeo Il-ye were about to start dancing. Sarah’s eyes lit up and she stepped in between the two.

“Wait!”

Sarah held out her short sword while receiving everyone’s puzzled looks.

“Oh, I guess I received a practice sword as a gift.”

Sarah snorted and nodded at Yeo Il-ye’s words.

“Sister! Today you will teach me swordsmanship!”

“Mmm. But…”

Yeo Il-ye looked at Hu Cheon-an and Sara alternately as if he was troubled. Ho Cheon-an chuckled and took a step back.

“It’s okay. It’s enough to practice alone, so please watch Sarah’s swordsmanship today.”

“But…”

“I want to learn swordsmanship from my sister! yes? Please~”

Sara clung to Yeo Il-ye and made a mockery of her. Yeo Il-ye’s face, which had been tinged with embarrassment as Sara rubbed her face with cuteness, cleared up.

“Hehehe, I understand. Today I will show you some sword skills!”

“Wow, I’m excited!”

it’s okay! Sarah cried out in joy. He had the opportunity to learn the stylish swordsmanship of Yeo Il-ye and separated Yeo Il-ye and Ho Cheon-an, so it was a truly divine plan to kill two birds with one stone.

“Ho Rongin, then shall we check out some secret techniques for the first time in a while? Didn’t you tell Soyeol that you’re learning how to make rain these days?”

Dang Do-yeon, who was cutely looking at Sara’s sudden pampering, intervened. These days, Hocheon-an is laying the foundation together with Yeo-il-ye. I held out my hand because I thought it would be better to check my sword skills today since practicing swordsmanship on my own could lead to bad habits.

“Hmm. I guess that wouldn’t be bad either.”

“Then…”

Dang Do-yeon, who was speaking up to that point, made eye contact with Sara. Sarah is opening her eyes and making a wink!

“…?”

Dang Do-yeon couldn’t understand why Sara was doing that, but she took a step back when she saw Sara giving her a desperate glare. Except for the part related to the raincoat, Dang Do-yeon, who was quite quick-witted, changed his words when he saw Sara’s eye signal.

“Well, when I think about it, carriage maintenance…”

Dang So-yeon, who confirmed that the answer was correct by looking at Sara’s wide expression, decided to match Sara’s rhythm for now.

“Sorry. Ho Rongin. I need to do some maintenance on the carriage later…”

“Okay, okay.”

Ho Cheon-an gave Dang Do-yeon a strange look at her sudden change of words, but did not think it was too strange. Sara, who defeated Dang Do-yeon with a glare attack, smiled and clapped her hands.

“Ah! Then, Hocheonan magician, you can practice together with Black Cat!”

“Hmm?”

“Because Black Cat was busy taking care of me all the time! It’s not bad to rub together!”

“Hmm.”

Ho Cheon-an scratched his chin. Come to think of it, is that right?

Hocheonan often went out for activities such as magic performances, medicine inspection, and teamwork training. In the meantime, the only things he took care of were martial arts training with Yeo Il-ye and blacksmithing with Tang So-yeol.

‘I’ve seen a lot of sparring between the palace lord and a black cat, but I’ve never actually danced with a black cat that possesses oral energy.’

I had been fighting with the black cat endlessly during the winter last year, but the current black cat was a person who used a completely different martial arts technique than the black cat back then.

It’s not a bad idea to experience ice ball.

With that thought in mind, Hocheonan looked towards the black cat.

“I get that job!”

Suddenly, Lano Jinbu appeared.

“Oh, would you please?”

Ho Cheon-an was delighted and delighted. You can dance with a black cat whenever you want, but the opportunity to mix hands with Rano Jingbu, the lord of Podalap Palace, did not come easily.

Lano Jingbu glared at the delighted Hu Tian-an with gloomy eyes and twisted the corner of his mouth.

“Yes. It’s been quite a while since I’ve seen you face to face, but I’ve never shown you my skills.”

Immediately, the dance between Hocheonan and Ranojingbu began.

“Then let’s begin.”

Lano Jingbu thought as he lightly dodged Hao Tian’s attack. It was true that he was definitely a talented young man. Although it had only been a few days since I realized the sword energy, I was realizing the basic principle of interrupting the flow of sutra through sword energy.

How can fabric defeat metal?

This common sense is broken the moment you enter the climax. In a fight up to the highest level, a person with a weapon has an unconditional advantage over someone with bare hands, but the moment the fight reaches its peak, its meaning begins to fade.

From the climax, the gap between weapons was important, but the conflict between light and light had to be taken into consideration.

Ho Cheon-an diligently swung his sword and tried to cut off the flow of light that Lano Jingbu was spreading.

‘I lack practical experience.’

Lano Jingbu skillfully pushed Hu Tianan. In order to cut off the guard, select only the path that will inevitably reveal a loophole in a physical fight and apply pressure, threatening to attack Jangbeop at any time.

Ho Cheon-an’s hands and feet instantly became dizzy due to Lano Jingbu’s skillful use of the light. As he dug into the gap revealed by Ho Cheon-an, Lano Jingbu recalled the events of last night.

[Is there a way for a woman to look good to a man?]

The moment he heard those words, the sky turned yellow, his pulse relaxed, his hands and feet became weak, and his whole body trembled.

Sarah…Sarah…! You’re already conscious of men!

Even though he is only 15 years old, he is still an untainted child who has not experienced the world yet!

Three years, no, five years, no, it’s too early!

Although he somehow escaped the shock and listened to Sara’s story about the story of Hocheonan and the Black Cat, Lano Jinbu’s alertness had already been extremely stimulated.

‘I said it was Yubi Muhwan!’

There are only two men(?) who could be a threat to Sarah right now! Corn and Hocheonan! However, since corn was not particularly a threat, it was Hocheonan that had the potential to become a problem.

Strictly speaking, Hocheonan was Sarah’s lifesaver. Of course, Sara also has no choice but to have feelings for Ho Cheon-an. Although the crush wasn’t love… it was a good story for Rano Jinbu, who was already on high alert.

Lano Jingbu took advantage of the gap and looked at Hu Tian-an’s wide-eyed face. This guy gets my daughter’s attention, right? I suddenly remembered the shock of yesterday and felt moved.

‘So you’re setting your sights on Sarah? In that case, I must not forget that this Rano Jinbu is behind Sarah!’

A daily story filled with the emotions of a father who is a fool for his daughter! Ho Cheon-an was amazed at the unusual funeral and immediately rolled on the floor.

Quang!

Jangbeop left deep marks on the floor of the training hall. Hu Tianan swallowed dry saliva and looked down at the mark, then looked up at Lano Jingbu again.

“…Palace lord?”

“Ha! Hahaha! Why! Practice is like practice, practice is like practice! Here we go again!”

“Kyaaaak!!”

bang! Quagwang! bang!

Hocheonan screamed and rolled on the floor, and Lano Jinbu smiled grimly and poured merciless attacks on the rolling Hocheonan.

“Ugh.”

Ho Cheon-an rolls around the training ground while screaming for his life, and Rano Jin-bu chases after him and fires a banner. The group blinked their eyes and watched the two people with a puzzled expression, unable to understand what was going on.

Sarah looked at that and touched her forehead as if she had a headache.

‘Dad, you idiot!’

Lano Jingbu’s rating, which had rebounded once when he received the sword as a gift, has plummeted.

Lano Jingbu, who had no way of knowing that fact, just rolled his Hocheonan hard.

*** ***

Ho Cheon-an entered the blacksmith shop and blinked.

Jomulrak. Jomulrak.

‘what? ‘What’s going on?’

When I came to take a blacksmith skills class, Dang So-yeol sat Sarah down and massaged her cheek. Sarah, who gave her cheek, had a face full of dissatisfaction that looked as if it would explode at any moment, but it was a strange situation where she calmly sat on the chair even with that face!

“Hey, Master?”

“There is no class today.”

“Yes? No, I told you to come today because I would teach you the technique of maintaining the center of your body, didn’t you?”

“Is it my business? Anyway, there is no class today.”

Ho Cheon-an let out a long sigh. It wasn’t the first day or two that the party members were so reckless, but it was the first time they were so reckless like today.

“How about doing the dance with the black cat that you couldn’t do before?”

“Ugh, my stomach is still sore from being treated so cruelly by the palace lord earlier. What kind of bastard is this? I’m sick and need to lie down now.”

Sarah flinched at Ho Cheon-an’s grumbling. Tang So-yeol, who was looking at Sarah with a blank expression, continued speaking while making Sarah’s cheeks bounce even more violently.

“Don’t you know the difference between heat and fierceness? You should relieve your aching body with a massage. You will feel better after taking a cold compress while using a cool ice bath.”

“Oh my, the person who doesn’t even teach is very worried about his students. Yes?”

Ho Cheon-an, who was grumbling, eventually walked towards the black cat as Tang Xiao-yeol said.

Tang So-yeol made Sarah sit on his lap, nuzzling her cheek and stroking her head, as if he was about to start massaging her in earnest. Sarah’s cheeks were swollen, as if she was quite dissatisfied with Tang So-yeol’s douche.

Tang So-yeol poked Sarah’s cheek and laughed.

“Uh-huh, I kept my promise, so why am I making this face?”

“It hurts!”

“Hmm. Then, I will massage it gently.”

Sarah’s face also straightened slightly as her hand movements became softer. Sarah insisted that Ho Cheon-an skip class today, and Tang So-yeol demanded Sarah’s cheek.

“It looks like the black cat is pretty good.”

It was Sarah, who had been caressing her cheek roughly once before and was keeping her distance like a wary cat. But I never thought he would approach me so voluntarily and even sacrifice his cheek for the sake of Black Cat and Hocheonan’s time.

Sara looked up at Tang Xiaoyeol with wary eyes. In Sarah’s view, party affiliation was also a potential obstacle. Tang So-yeol, who sensed the meaning of Sara’s gaze, slightly raised the corners of her mouth and her cheeks stretched out.

“Uuuh.”

“Cute thing.”

Sara remembered the black cat while being toyed with by the ruthless(?) hands of Tang So-yeol. Since there was a lot of blood given to the tyrant Tang So-yeol indefinitely, there will definitely be results.

‘Sister, cheer up!’

“How…”

Sarah massaged her cheek in Tang So-yeol’s hand and cheered for the black cat.
