***

It could truly be said to be Hong Seong-moon’s auspicious event.

Of course, it was a bit unusual for a teacher and a great minister to be the wives of the same man.

What is it like? Anyone who was dissatisfied could just tell them to come and complain.

That’s why Ryu Hyeon felt quite good.

“Ahaha~! Drink~! Drink~!”

For today, I was able to smile and drink happily. She said with a sad face while pouring alcohol into Hyeonhwi’s glass.

“Black. Finally, the Ambassador…”

Really. Looking at Hongryeon’s behavior until last year, I wondered if the ambassador would actually be able to get married.

Of course, it wasn’t that he didn’t respect Hongryeon. Isn’t it natural?

He became a disciple of Geomseong from a young age and was the ambassador who took charge of all operations of Hongseongmun by himself.

When we first met, he saw how much she was struggling, and he felt sorry for her, so he helped Hongryeon too.

After that, things got a little easier as the number of students increased one by one, but Hongryeon still had a hard time.

I wondered if Chun-seo was always saying strange things because of that difficult time.

Other than that, it was a truly wonderful residence.

Such a great magistrate eventually found his partner.

“Ah. The guest should not be disappointed.”

I may pretend to be calm now, but if I relax a little, won’t Hongryeon make strange noises again and make people around me angry?

Ryu Hyun’s mood, who had been happily shouting and sipping his drink just a moment ago, plummeted to the bottom, and Sayoon smiled and shook his head at her.

“You are not the kind of person to get angry about something like that.”

“Right? yes? okay. Sayoon, who knows the guest well, I should believe what you say, right?”

“Ahahaha…”

Ryu Hyeon stroked Sayun’s head and raised his drink again. Hyeonhwi lightly clinked his glass with her, took a sip quietly, and then continued speaking.

” Although I am the Ambassador, I was also worried about you.”

All disciples of Hong Seong-moon would know this. About the mental pain and despair that the Sword Saint has.

Geomseong, who had to kill someone who was like a family member with his own hands, became stable after meeting him, and was eventually able to successfully pass on the position of Hongseongmun’s chieftain.

That’s why, for the first time in a long time, Hyunhee’s expressionless face relaxed and she drank happily.

“You are such an amazing person.”

“Hehe. Right?”

Is it because of a compliment to my uncle? Sayoon felt better for no reason. While she was fiddling with her glass, Chae-ryeon approached her.

“Sayun. Why don’t you drink it?”

“Huh? huh. I’m drinking.”

After pouring a drink into her empty glass, Chae-ryeon sat down next to her and sighed.

“Ugh. Because even my older sister, whom I would be embarrassed to show anywhere, has gone. after. Hehehe…”

“Why?”

“No. As I thought about it, the term ‘outcast’ came to mind. It’s not like you wouldn’t know if your brother-in-law came to pick you up as your son-in-law, right? So, my sister went away…”

“Ahaha. Do you think you can easily take over as the owner of Moonwoljeong?”

“Hmm. Well, it won’t be easy though. I don’t think my brother-in-law will tie my sister down completely. Well, given her personality, she would hate having a string tied around her neck.”

Actually, I really like having a leash tied around my neck.

Chae-ryeon, who couldn’t figure it out that far, clicked her tongue briefly and took a sip of her drink.

Anyway, it was a happy day. To Hong Seong-moon and Moon Wol-jeong.

Chae-ryeon lightly clinked her glass with Sayun and then looked around.

Renowned people from both Wulin and Gwan came to congratulate him.

In particular, the fact that the Namgung family, the most powerful family among the martial arts families, came to congratulate him was something that could be considered quite special.

“Will Yugajang be created separately?”

If that happens, enormous power will be created in Moorim. Because it becomes a force that possesses as many as three superhumans.

When Chae-ryeon spoke with a serious expression, Sayun shook her head.

“I don’t think that’s the case.”

“Of course, isn’t it?”

It was just as Sayun said.

Will Yuwol try to establish a family and influence the world at the same time? To that question, Chae-ryeon was also able to answer no.

If that were the case, I would have done it already. To begin with, the Yuwoldo she knew was not very interested in power.

“No! Why are you looking so serious on this nice day?”

At that time, an old man came up to me. The only Safa people in this place where there are many sectarians. It was Hano.

Although he seemed intimidated in a place like this, he smiled and approached them holding a bottle of alcohol.

“Ah. Hano. Welcome.”

With a grin, Chae-ryeon picked up the bottle. Hano giggled at her and sat down, clinking the bottle with her and taking a light gulp.

“Puha~. Good. After all, it is the liquor of Seomhwachon. The faint scent of plum blossoms that lingers at the end of this drink cannot be felt anywhere else.”

“This is a liquor that Grandma Yohwan carefully prepares. Is Hano okay?”

“Me? What am I?”

“No, there are only a lot of political factions here and there.”

“Haha. If Hao Wen Dao cares about such things, would he use it? Anyway, there wouldn’t be a crazy person pulling out a knife in a good place.”

Some political faction members flinched when they heard his words.

I was already bothered by Safain being here, but saying it out loud like that stung me.

Hano glanced at them and smiled, then poured a drink into Sayun’s glass and then spoke seriously.

“Rather than that, have you heard anything about what Yuwol will do next?”

“Not really?”

“He is an amazing person who has three superhuman wives… There are many people here and there who are curious about his actions. Look over there.”

“?”

At the place he pointed to, there was a man who said he had come from the top in the distance. Hano spoke calmly to him, who was drinking here and there and talking calmly.

“That person is a classmate named Ga Haengdu. It’s disguised as Yeongwangsangdan… but Yeongwangsangdan is actually a branch of Dongchang.”

“Ah…”

“And over there… is Cheonimun, and over there is Toryongdan. We also participate in places that handle information.”

“You don’t know?”

“You know? Because they didn’t really hide it. He may have hidden his identity only as a classmate, but he is a Shinsan sage. There is also General Cheon Il-hwa. Of course you understand.”

Actually, it didn’t seem like Yuwol didn’t know. Sayoon looked at them seriously and sighed.

“Why are you so interested in others?”

“Because everyone is naturally interested in treasures. Since I’m close to Yuwol, I can just go and ask, but those who don’t have that trust have no choice but to look at me from afar.”

“Protecting your brother-in-law is probably not normal.”

“Probably so. But whatever. It’s not like Yuwol doesn’t know that much. I’ll take care of it.”

“Ahaha. Do you trust me?”

“If you don’t trust Seonja Shinsan, who can you trust? ruler. Then should I go somewhere else?”

Hano stood up, looked at Chae-ryeon and Sayun alternately, and then spoke leisurely.

“But the need for you to become stronger also hasn’t changed.”

At those words, Sayun nodded slightly without realizing it.

She, too, has been training and thinking about various things recently in order to become stronger.

However, I still couldn’t use space charm, and I couldn’t get one level stronger from my current level.

So I had no choice but to keep thinking about it.

While she was fiddling with her glass and lost in thought, her apprentice approached her holding a bottle. It seems that Namgung Cheon came to talk for a moment while he was talking with Namgung Seongyul.

“Doje senior. What does it mean to be strong?”

“Hmm. That’s a difficult question. It’s different for each person. The old man in Namhae probably thinks that reaching the level of goodness is the only way to become truly strong. The members of the Demonic Cult will think that gaining half of the Heavenly Demon’s power, which they may not know about or not, and holding the power of the Heavenly Demon in their hands will make them stronger. The younger members of the Namgung family will think that they will become stronger by surpassing the old man. At Hongseongmun…”

“We believe that having the power to protect ourselves makes us stronger.”

At Ryu Hyeon’s polite answer, he nodded and looked at Sayun.

“Becoming strong like this has many different meanings, and there are many different methods as well. So Sayoon. To find out how to become stronger for you, wouldn’t it be better to ask your ascetics rather than me?”

“Um… Is that so?”

“Still, the martial arts must be strong, or the power must be great. Having a lot of money is not the same thing. Finding meaning in your own actions is a wonderful thing. Because you can move forward just by remembering that consideration and always thinking about it. okay. You have to think over and over again. Because it will lead you to a higher state.”

The apprentice grinned and looked at Chae-ryeon next to him.

“If it is difficult to find that meaning on your own, it might not be a bad idea to find it by living with others. Otherwise, it would be good to experience a new environment. Just like Chae-ryeon went to the Murim.”

“I see. Thank you for teaching me.”

“That’s it. Well, with something like this. ha ha ha. As an adult, I have to do this much. Later, tell the young Geomseong well. I taught you this.”

“Hehe. yes. Okay.”

Smiling with satisfaction, he headed toward Seongju and Cheon Il-hwa. Sayun smiled at Chae-ryeon who approached her and raised her drink.

It was a truly happy day.

The next day came. Some of the sisters groaned, probably because they drank a lot at the banquet yesterday, but Sayoon was still okay. Because I didn’t drink that much.

That’s why I was able to smile brightly when I met my teacher who returned to Hongseongmun.

“Master! Are you here?!”

“Huhuhuhu. Yes.”

The swordsman has a much better expression than before. Sayun welcomed her cheerfully and walked with her through Hongseongmun Gate.

“But I didn’t know you would come up right away. What about Ambassador Hongryeon’s residence?”

“He went straight to the government office because he had work to do. So today I decided to teach you. ah. And Sayoon.”

“Yes?”

“You said you were going to use the Heart Sutra this evening, right? Before that, shall we take a look at your skills?”

Have you been thinking about it and found an answer, or come close to it? When Geomseong asked with a smile, Sayun thought for a moment and nodded.

Unfortunately, I haven’t found the answer yet.

I thought I might be able to get an answer today by using the Heart Sutra and facing my own mind.
