Chapter Index

    Wolhajeong (月下庭).

    It was the finest garden that Sacheondangmun boasted, created with a huge amount of money.

    Only special guests were allowed to enter Wolhajeong.

    Of course, the guests who attended the Yongbong branch were also special guests.

    That’s Wolhajeong.

    As its name suggests, the garden under the moonlight, it was a garden with a dreamy yet bright beauty.

    Dianthus and bouillon are spreading out their brightly colored petals.

    Numerous prickly pear flowers lined up in a linear fashion are vibrantly pulsating like the scales of a fish.

    The green leaves of the Japanese jacaranda seemed to love harmony with the red flowers of the Japanese jacaranda, which were in full bloom, hiding their upright branches.

    Cattails, cherry blossoms, and other flowers whose names I don’t know were all showing off their various forms and enjoying the warm midday sunlight to their heart’s content.

    That dazzling flower garden.

    Beyond there was a pavilion built with six pine trees.

    Uniquely, it was a pavilion connected on all sides by bridges.

    It is a gracefully curved stone bridge made of tuff rock.

    Below, the artificial pond was shining clear and blue.

    It must have been created by pumping hot spring water, and steam rose like foggy rain.

    Like a piece of the moon hanging in the night sky, a group of daffodils floating on the waves of the pond swayed to and fro in the wind.

    It was truly beautiful.

    Even humans who are weather-beaten by the world cannot help but sigh when they see that scenery.

    The same was true for Bang So-woon and Jang Il.

    “You made it really well.”

    Bang So-un let out a short sigh as if he had no choice but to admit it.

    “It feels like a space far away from what people think of as Sacheondangmun.”

    Jang Il also blinked and muttered.

    “Heh, that would also be a way to show family status.”

    “Equity?”

    “Okay, what do you think people who visit this place think? Don’t you think it’s a great family?”

    “Ah.”

    “No matter what, it’s the perfect place for young men and women to chat.”

    Bang So-un laughed.

    Of course, they didn’t come to have fun.

    However, there was no need to rush.

    This is because it is not something that can be done just because you are in a hurry.

    For now, all you have to do is relax and participate in the Yongbong branch and observe what kind of people there are.

    That was also important.

    Because the people here were humans who would clearly become an obstacle to conquering the martial arts, which was their true wish.

    “Let’s go.”

    Bang Soun walked again.

    Jang-il followed him.

    How long did I walk along that beautiful path surrounded by flowers?

    Someone stopped them in their tracks.

    Danga was unmanned.

    “From here, attendants cannot enter.”

    “Hmm, I see.”

    Bang So-yun nodded.

    It was what I expected.

    There is no way that practitioners would be allowed to join in a peaceful gathering where high-ranking people share sad stories.

    A thorough distinction of class.

    It’s natural.

    This is a place for the dragon and the pole.

    There was no room for other bycatch in the water they lived in.

    “Then?”

    “Over there.”

    The place where Danga Muin points.

    There was a pavilion there too.

    However, no matter who looks at it, it is a corner place.

    It was small and compact.

    A place that cannot be considered a place for special guests.

    It was natural.

    Because it is not a place for special guests.

    “Go and rest.”

    Bang So-woon tapped Jang Il on the shoulder.

    “Yes, I hope you have a good time.”

    Jang Il also bowed his head casually.

    Because I know.

    There is no reason to get upset over something like this.

    “I will guide you.”

    A Danga warrior disappeared to the other side with Jang Il.

    “Let’s go in.”

    “Sure.”

    The road opened and Bang So-un started walking again.

    alone.

    A body alone, unable to use any abilities.

    However, Bang So-un was neither nervous nor intimidated.

    Because I know.

    That I am not alone.

    Because there were not one but two faithful tools that no one knew about.

    Bang So-un, with a thin smile, finally saw the pavilion in the center.

    A large and splendid pavilion built with great effort.

    That place would be a place for special guests.

    Jump and jump.

    ‘Hoo?’

    Bang So-un’s eyes lit up as he crossed the stone bridge connected to that place.

    Because it was discovered.

    The vertical composition formed in the place right in front of you.

    Young men and women naturally gathered in the center and chatting.

    On the other hand.

    There were also people wandering around the outskirts, looking somewhat intimidated.

    Even if they try hard to pretend they are not, you can tell with just your eyes.

    ‘That’s interesting.’

    Bang Soun noticed it right away.

    Those who are proudly gathered in the center like the protagonists of this event are the late exponents of the old faction and the five generations, and those who do not fit in properly and wander around are the latter exponents of the lower class faction.

    Even if they are attendees of the same Yongbong branch, they are not all the same attendees.

    Those who were kicked out without even being able to make a sound would be extremely envious, but this place also has heaven and earth.

    ‘Then my place is… … .’

    Of course it is land.

    There is no way that Geumryong Battlefield is a munpai that can be placed on the same level as the nine factions and the five major clans.

    However, like Geombong, he did not have martial arts skills that could be considered one of the greatest martial arts figures of the late era.

    So Bang Soun’s place is the land.

    As if to prove it, as they crossed the stone bridge and got closer to the pavilion, the eyes of the people who were big people but were small children here lit up.

    “The author… ?”

    “Didn’t you hear what I said, Seo-moon? There was a bit of a fuss at the party gate in the morning because of Geumryongjangju.”

    “This is my first time hearing this.”

    “Well, I don’t know for sure, but it seems that he was officially recommended and qualified to join the Yongbong branch.”

    “Geumryongjangjura. Well, even though my status as a samurai is far down, I still have a lot of money.”

    “Haha, that’s right. They say money can control ghosts, but there’s nothing it can’t match, right?”

    “Hmm, I still don’t like it.”

    “Ah, shouldn’t we continue to improve our internal stability? That way, I’ll stop acting like I’m showing off… … .”

    “What little brother Yang said is right, Brother Seomun. If you want to stand on top, it’s not the time to cover anyone’s hand.”

    These big-name small talkers are already talking freely about Geumryongjangju.

    They didn’t seem to have any doubts.

    Of course, Geumryongjangju would come to where they were.

    Because that is the position of Geumryongjangju.

    ‘Hmph, you’re talking very openly.’

    Bang So-yun sneered inwardly.

    Anyway, thanks to you, I now know more clearly.

    What is your position in this situation in the eyes of others?

    Everyone will think that they will clumsily watch and move to where those big fish are.

    Of course, Bang So-un had no intention of doing so.

    ‘Do you think I’m the same type as you guys?’

    With a cold snort, Fang Xiaoyun walked majestically to the center.

    “Huh?”

    “What, what, going that way?”

    The sounds of embarrassed big fish.

    but.

    Soon they clicked their tongues as if they could see a clear future.

    “Jang Sachi doesn’t know reality.”

    “Even if you say you’re a Jangju, you’re still just a kid.”

    “Well, most people have to experience it themselves to come to their senses.”

    “I can already picture my face turning red from embarrassment.”

    “Hehe, and he will come running here with sweaty feet.”

    they know

    That the Golden Dragon Commander would be ignored.

    Of course, this is not complete disregard.

    At least a formal greeting is accepted.

    But that’s it.

    Words don’t flow properly, and we can’t share even the slightest deep conversation.

    It’s about drawing a line.

    You and we are not equals who can have a sad conversation in the same place.

    That they are not equals who can mix beyond a business-like or superficial relationship.

    Nevertheless, the reason I couldn’t give up on Yongbongjihoe was because I knew that just by setting foot here, I was breathing much better air than the numerous human statues on the floor.

    ‘Talk as much as you want.’

    However, Bang So-un did not feel any tension or agitation.

    I walked on very confidently.

    To the place where the reviews that Old File Room and Odaesega are proud of are located.

    ***

    There was not even the slightest movement in the atmosphere.

    Because this isn’t the first time something like this has happened.

    Someone who doesn’t even know the topic is trying to get along by crossing the line.

    ‘Aha, is that person the Golden Dragon Lord?’

    A woman twitched the corner of her mouth as if she had found a toy to play with.

    A woman who is beautiful, but somehow gives off a cold, knife-like aura.

    That woman was Hwanhondokbong Dang Se-hwa, the golden jade leaf of the Tang family.

    She is more ruthless and devious than anyone else, taking after the personality of her grandfather, King Dok, rather than her father, Tang Cheol-gun.

    That was the reason the King of Poison cherished and looked forward to it.

    And it was the same for Dang Se-mun, the heavenly-armed poisonous dragon next to Dang Se-hwa.

    -I am shaking because I have rotten money.

    Dang Se-moon frowns and mutters in a loud voice as if he is displeased.

    -Hehe, isn’t it only natural that the Golden Dragon Lord is here?

    Dang Se-hwa also spoke in full voice.

    -Does money make people unaware of the subject?

    -You mistakenly believe that once you receive a letter of recommendation, everything is over.

    Qualifying and getting along with Yongbong were completely different issues.

    This is because the status itself is different.

    There is no Yongbong who really wants to hang out with someone of inferior rank.

    Because the air we breathe is different.

    -Hmph, I would have bought the recommendation letter with money anyway.

    -Hehe, that’s right.

    Dang Se-moon and Dang Se-hwa were convinced that Bang So-un obtained the letter of recommendation through money.

    The majority of humans would think that way.

    -Anyway, the person who wrote the letter of recommendation probably doesn’t even have the slightest intention to suit you.

    Tang Se-hwa sneered.

    Well, it doesn’t matter anyway.

    Thanks to that, I have a toy to play with.

    how?

    First, talk to him in a friendly way.

    The other person will be greatly relieved.

    But that relief is only the beginning of the enormous shock to come.

    From then on, if you pretend to be someone who doesn’t exist and ignore the person, the other person will be embarrassed and don’t know what to do.

    I was sweating profusely, my body was shaking, my pupils were shaking like crazy… … .

    Phew.

    ‘Okay, then.’

    It was when Dang Se-hwa was about to start work with a smiling face.

    “Here it is, Lord Geumryongjang.”

    Someone raised their hand and called out Jinryongjangju first.

    Jegal asked.

    Something completely unexpected.

    Tang Se-hwa’s expression hardened for an instant.

    Hard.
