“You came first.”

Bang So-woon naturally listened to the conversation and approached where Jegal Cheong-ha was.

There was no room for Tang Se-hwa to interfere.

Tang Se-hwa’s expression, which had stiffened for a moment, relaxed again as if nothing had happened.

However, her lip-biting behavior indicated that she was not in a good mood.

That’s because it’s a habit that comes out when you’re feeling down.

-You said that it was Jegal Qingha who wrote the letter of recommendation for the author?

-I heard that.

-Ha, that’s ridiculous. If you’ve made a profit, why don’t you just let it go? Why are you making such a fuss about trying to take advantage of it again?

Tang Shihua chewing on Zhuge Qingxia.

Tang Shihua seemed convinced that Zhuge Qingxia was doing such things in order to steal more of Jinlongjangju’s money.

It had to be that way.

In her mind, the direct lineage of the Five Great Dynasties and the Golden Dragon Emperor were entities that could never be placed on the same level.

No, it wasn’t just her, most of the Gupaebang and Odaeseaga probably thought so.

So, it was perhaps natural that Zhuge Qingxia’s actions appeared hypocritical in Tang Shihua’s eyes.

Zhuge Qingxia, who has a more cool-headed and clever mind than anyone else, is determined to steal the Golden Dragon Sword.

‘No, wait.’

Tang Se-hwa blinked quickly as if she suddenly realized something.

-That girl, that… … .

-Why are you doing that?

-Ha, really. Who would say that he is from Zhuge Liang’s family? He is incredibly clever.

-What are you talking about?

Tang Se-moon looked at his younger sister as if he didn’t understand.

– It’s obvious. I’m talking about money, money. Why would the world’s five great powers throw away their pride and try to please Geumryongjangju to get his money? Why not now?

-Why now of all times…? Wait, really…?

Only then did Tang Se-moon open his eyes wide to see if he had caught something.

-No way. If it weren’t for the fact that the Namgung family is shaking, would they have to bend their pride and need urgent funds like that? It’s obvious that it’s military funds to inflate their power.

-Ugh, these guys, Jegal Se.

war chest.

It was a complete mistake.

But it was a clever situation where such an illusion was not strange.

Why is it that at this time when Namgung Se-ga is not normal, Jegal Se-ga even writes a letter of recommendation for Geumryongjangju to the Yongbongjihoe and hangs out with him?

As the saying goes, when a crow flies, a pear falls, so it was inevitable that people would look with suspicion.

-I can’t just leave it alone.

Knock knock.

Tang Se-moon snapped his fingers.

For the Tang clan, which was always aiming for the position of Namgung Se-ga, Jegal Se-ga was naturally one of the competitors.

It was only natural that I couldn’t just sit back and watch.

-No, let’s just leave it for now.

However, Tang Se-hwa’s thoughts seemed to be somewhat different.

-Huh? What does that mean?

Tang Se-moon casts a questioning look.

Dang Se-hwa answered with the corners of his mouth slightly twisted.

-Anyway, there won’t be anyone here who will respond. It’s obvious that the rivals, Odaese, and even Gupa Ibang, won’t be able to play around with a merchant who isn’t even a military man, and it’ll look disgusting.

-Aha, indeed… … What you said is so right.

Tang Se-mun’s eyes lit up.

The only one who wants to take advantage of the Golden Dragon is Zhuge Shi.

It was obvious that the sight would be an eyesore to other prestigious schools.

Especially in the eyes of the other five great powers who are openly competing in the chaotic power structure.

That’s right.

-I guess I’ll be blatantly ignored anyway.

-Huh, yes, it will be a very interesting sight. The Golden Dragon Master will be completely ignored, and the Zhuge Liang family, who are trying to get along with him, will be in an awkward position.

-Haha, that would be quite a sight.

Dang Se-hwa and Dang Se-mun looking forward to what’s to come.

In this way, the Yongbong branch was caught up in the turmoil of political fighting even before it started.

***

“Hey, what happened to that?”

Meanwhile, the big shot side was surprised by Zhuge Qingxia’s action of personally welcoming the Golden Dragon.

Because it was a scene I was seeing for the first time.

“Seo, really?”

“Huh, what are you talking about.”

Someone cut it with a single knife.

“Do you really think they’ll get along? We all know from experience, right? They don’t think of us as fellow human beings.”

Bitter words from experience.

The expressions on the faces of the big shot’s lackeys became dry.

“That’s right… … .”

“They are the ones who never cross the line.”

“That’s right. You’re naive, perhaps because it’s not your own business. You’ll just take the bait and keep your distance anyway.”

“Tsk tsk, this author has too little experience.”

Even the big shot minions now completely looked at Bang So-woon as a foolish man who was being used because he was naive.

***

‘… … Cheongha like that?’

Zhuge Jing seemed not to have anticipated his sister’s recent actions.

It was the first time that my younger sister, who was more intelligent and clever than anyone else but far from being friendly, had greeted someone by raising her hand, so it couldn’t be helped.

‘Are you saying it was that noticeable?’

If that’s the case, I understand.

But being able to understand and feeling bad were two different things.

Especially if the man is known to be a debaucher.

“Ahem.”

Zhuge Jing coughed to calm his discomfort.

Anyway, he was a man who was in the eyes of his younger sister, so he couldn’t be treated coldly.

“I was out of my mind earlier, so I couldn’t even say hello properly.”

As soon as he arrived, Bang So-woon first greeted Jegal Gyeong politely.

But he still has some basic manners, thought Zhuge Jing.

“I heard a lot from General Zhuge Liang.”

But I couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable when my younger sister was mentioned.

“I’ve heard a lot of things too.”

Bang So-woon and Jegal Gyeong exchanging greetings.

It was a greeting that seemed ceremonial in itself.

Still, there was nothing particularly strange.

The problem came next.

dump.

Bang So-woon sits next to Jegal Qingxia as if it were a given.

It’s strange.

It was such a strange thing.

No, it was more than just strange; it was shocking behavior.

In this situation, people will sit across from each other if they are one hundred.

That was a given.

however…….

“Ker, keruk?! Ku, kuluck, kuluck?!”

Zhuge Jing let out a panicked cough, his eyes widening in shock.

That’s not all.

Others also looked very surprised.

Tang Se-hwa and Tang Se-mun-do.

-What, what? Now that I look at it, that Cheongha girl was having an affair with Geumryongjangju?

-No matter what, there’s no way that’s possible…

Dang Se-mun shook his head.

-How could that be? It looks like this now… … .

-He’s a married man. He’s not even a collateral relative, but the eldest son of the family. Do you think that makes sense?

-Oh, right. That’s right.

The head of the Zhuge family and the person in charge of the funeral, Cheon Gi-ja, Zhuge Ja-un.

There was no way that a reporter like that could tolerate his favorite daughter having an affair with a married man.

-After hearing that and looking again, I see that you weren’t sitting completely glued together.

interval.

A subtle but definite gap existed between Bang So-woon and Jegal Qingha.

The others also noticed the gap and their surprised expressions calmed down a little.

They realized it too.

That Geumryongjangju was a married man and that he could never have that kind of relationship with Zhuge Qingxia.

“Ker, kehum.”

Zhuge Jing finally came to his senses and let out an awkward cough.

But he was still anxious.

Because I know well what kind of personality my younger sister has.

Did that younger sister even allow you to come next to her?

Even though I told him it wasn’t rational, I was still extremely anxious.

-You, aren’t you too close… … .

“Are you feeling okay now?”

Zhuge Jing’s message was lightly ignored by his younger sister.

Zhuge Jing’s face rotted away without a trace.

“I think things are getting better thanks to the concern of many people.”

“That’s fortunate.”

“How is General Zhuge Liang?”

“Yes, Lord Golden Dragon.”

They exchange greetings from an appropriate distance, as if it was the first time they had seen each other in a long time.

That put Zhuge Jing’s mind at ease a little.

There are also titles that give a sense of distance.

‘It seems that it’s not as close as I thought. Well, being in the eye and being close are two different things.’

A comforting Zhuge Jing.

But of course, I couldn’t let my guard down.

As he had thought before, Zhuge Jing planned to thoroughly observe what kind of person Geumryongjangju was here.

If I ever found out that he was as evil on the inside as his reputation as a debaucher suggested, I was determined to cut off the relationship no matter what.

and.

There was another gaze observing the Golden Dragon.

It was Tang Se-hwa and Tang Se-mun.

-Nothing has changed. Let’s watch. The Golden Dragon Master is being completely ignored.

-Yes, Zhuge Liang will never achieve his goal. No one will respond.

The fact that they noticed means that others are likely to notice too.

With the Namgung family in a state of turmoil, it was impossible for anyone here to not notice that the Jegal family was colluding with Geumryongjeonjang to get money to expand their size.

And things seemed to be going according to their plans.

The Golden Dragon Master appeared in front of everyone, and although he was chatting with the people of the Zhuge family, no one approached him readily.

In particular, the other five great families, Peng and Murong, were looking at Bang So-yun and the people of the Zhuge family with cold eyes.

‘Haha, if we do this well, we could use Peng Ga and Murong Ga to keep Zhuge Ga in check?’

It was when Tang Se-hwa smiled inwardly.

A sudden change occurred in the intestines.

“Can I join in too?”

A young woman speaking with a gentle smile.

-What, what, what are you doing? Is that girl crazy?

Tang Se-hwa’s eyes widened in bewilderment.

There is only one reason.

Because the young woman was Namgung Hwaran of the Namgung family.

In this situation, Namgung Se-ga first approaches Jegal Se-ga, one of the opponents who threatens his position?

In a situation where he clearly showed his ambition by even dragging in the Golden Dragon?

It was impossible.

-Ah, no, wait. Oh, come to think of it, I think I heard that Namgungga also wrote a letter of recommendation to Geumryongjangju.

-Tell me about that quickly!

The Tang Dynasty Emperor shouted out loud in a loud voice.
