It should be like a blade.

In any situation, you must never forget your sharpness.

Remember.

You are the only disciple of Hong Seong-moon, and the only disciple of Hong Seong-moon.

That you have a duty to revive Hongseongmun.

That is.

Because it is your job as the only survivor of Hong Seong-moon.

When I opened my eyes, I could see the sky.

The beauty with navy blue hair slowly stood up and looked around.

Is it because of the already overflowing amount of blood and flesh? My sense of smell has long been paralyzed by the scent of blood that irritates my nose.

Slowly standing up, she munched on the beef jerky she had taken out of her arms.

-Caw…!

A crow that has flown in to eat the corpse is bouncing around and wandering around. Is it because he sees himself as prey even though he is stained with blood?

She threw a piece of beef jerky to me with a solemn expression.

She watched in silence as the crow dexterously caught it and flew into the sky.

The bird flies freely into the sky, but I am still tied here.

She chewed her beef jerky again and looked around at the view she had created.

Corpse, corpse, corpse.

Among the countless corpses, he is once again the only one left alive.

That’s why she lowered her head.

Because memories of the past come to mind.

Because it reminds me of Hongseongmun Gate full of corpses.

-Yerin…

I hear auditory hallucinations. When she slowly raised her head, a beautiful woman with a soft expression was smiling before her eyes.

Holding a large sword.

Just like back then.

Just like back then.

“Hey.”

It was a low voice. When I turned my head, I saw a middle-aged man and an old man holding a black sword approaching.

Doge, and Namgungcheon.

They, being superhumans like themselves, looked around with frowns and spoke to her.

“Did you kill them all?”

“Yes.”

“Okay then. These are people who studied evil secret arts. Even if you’re alive, it won’t help you.”

Nangong Cheon spat and muttered coldly.

The reason why the three adepts with different personalities and strong pride moved together was because of a secret order from the emperor.

A group of cultists moving beneath the surface.

It was to catch the cultists who were practicing human sacrifice called ‘Swinging Light’ who followed chaos, one of the evil evils.

“There’s a terrible guy down there.”

“They say it’s a child of chaos.”

“I see.”

“They were the ones who tried to resurrect him into chaos… No. done. You don’t seem interested.”

Namgungcheon stopped explaining as he put the journal he found there in his arms.

It’s fine if you do it, but it’s going to go down the drain anyway, so what’s the point of doing it?

“Let’s go.”

“Shouldn’t we burn this place and go?”

” That’s how it should be.”

The apprentice raised his hand. As his hand shakes, the corpses around him fly through the air and begin to gather in one place.

Namgung-cheon, who was watching, unleashed his inner energy, and at the same time, blue flames enveloped the corpses.

Using the method of samadhi evolution, the corpses are burned, and the disciple destroys the passage leading underground.

The woman stared at them as if she had no interest in them.

Na Yerin, a swordsman and superhuman of Hongseongmun, looked at the flames.

-Yerin…

Amidst the flames stood the woman she could not forget, smiling.

“What do you plan to do now?”

Ultimately, the reason for receiving secret orders from the emperor was because of the price. Doje is for the benefit of Moonwoljeong, and Namgungcheon is for the Namgung family.

And Geomseong is to resurrect Hongseongmun.

You can disperse from here, but it is more profitable to receive another secret mission from the emperor and carry out your mission, so you can head to the imperial palace.

“Well.”

“If you have nothing to do, let’s go together.”

The apprentice smiled and held out his hand. No matter how rude he was, he was the disciple of a woman, and although his teacher and his disciple were equally mean, he was still a member of a sect that was his rival.

Since he did not want to see the sect that had been Moon Woljeong’s rival for a long time collapse in vain, the governor hoped that Hong Seongmun would be revived as much as possible.

“I’m worried that he might get into an accident again.”

Even before the extinction of Hongseongmun, Geomseong was somewhat unique. It was correct to say that it was unique and eccentric.

Because he looks younger than his age, and has reached the point where he looks like an ordinary person, and is also small in stature, he often gets into fights here and there.

And, every time, Geomseong did not hold back.

So, if you send it alone, it will definitely cause an accident and cause trouble.

Also, since he is a superhuman and cannot be stopped by anyone other than a considerable expert, it might be better to take the two of you with him as you are not strangers.

Last time, when he was sent alone, he destroyed two factions of the Four Sects and even clashed with the armed forces of the Four Black Lions.

“Seeing someone in trouble.”

“You little one. You are less than half my age.”

Nangong Tian snorted and the emperor nodded.

“Hey. Thunder Sword King. Just because you’re older doesn’t mean you’re an adult.”

“I’m talking about the truth, but it makes me angry. Damn kid. And be respectful to adults. Or even use Haoche.”

“I do not listen to orders from those weaker than me.”

“You damn brat. Will it be a hit?!”

It’s starting again. The apprentice sighed, holding his throbbing forehead.

” Stop talking nonsense. Let’s go now.”

After all, they are superhumans with strong pride. If you stay together needlessly, you’ll only get upset, so it’s better to just stop talking about useless things and just go to work.

So the three superhumans returned to the capital, received compensation for their request, and decided to stay at the imperial palace for a while.

Geomseong looked around the room assigned to him and let out a low sigh.

Luxurious beds, wooden furniture. It’s a nice car to just smell. Even an incense burner with the scent of ink.

They are all just high-end items.

It was a nice room.

It doesn’t suit me.

For her, who is used to Hong Seong-moon’s life of moderation and frugality as virtues, these things are very uncomfortable, like wearing clothes that don’t really fit.

So she climbed out the window and headed into the garden.

But even though it was a garden, it was no different.

Its name is the garden of the imperial palace. This is a place where even a single stone is precious, so where can you feel safe?

‘I want to see a thousand plum blossoms.’

It is said to be for the revival of Hongseongmun, but it did not return for too long.

Shall we go back once we finish this mission?

If I finish this job, I will be able to raise enough funds to take on disciples and run Hongseongmun.

and…

On the way, destroy a few of the annoying Sapa factions and increase your reputation…

It was time to think about the future.

“Woe, wilderness. You shouldn’t go there! The Sword Saint stays there!”

“Eight! What’s with the Sword Saint? After all, isn’t he a long-time member of a ruined sect? Just by this body visiting me in person…”

“Well, you shouldn’t say that!”

Suddenly, my teeth are grinding.

The ruined Hong Seong-moon.

These were words she should never hear.

“Ha! What does Hongseong Shingong say? After all, isn’t he a martial artist who killed his own classmate? If you have a martial arts skill suitable for killing and killing each other, I will prepare a battlefield suitable for you…”

After hearing that, there was no reason to endure it.

A man was held by the collar, panting and begging for his life. There were masters around her who tried to stop her but fell away, and her arms were held by Doje and Namgung-cheon.

“Stop it.”

“The royal family.”

Hearing their serious voices, Geomseong slowly let go of his hands.

Geomseong spoke quietly as he stared at the crying man who said he was alive and survived.

“No one.”

“……”

“You cannot insult Hong Seong-moon.”

Geomseong left those words and turned around.

Even the gathered members of the Geumwiwi and classmates had no thought of catching her.

Because no one knows what an angry superhuman will create.

I returned straight to Hongseongmun Gate that way.

I wasn’t particularly scared. If you want to fight, stop fighting.

Geomseong was sitting cross-legged at Hongseongmun Gate, where thousands of plum blossoms were in full bloom. How much time had passed?

The apprentice came.

“It’s old.”

“…What.”

“It came from the imperial palace. They said they would give you a government position.”

“…Is the emperor crazy?”

You destroyed the royal family?

“Well, old man Namgung said that it might be because he doesn’t want to deal with superhumans. And they told me to give them the compensation I didn’t receive last time and various other things.”

“Hmm…”

“And you just live with your temper down. So, would you ever meet a man?”

“…I will live alone for the rest of my life.”

“My eldest daughter said the same thing. Those kids get married quickly.”

The apprentice snorted and walked away, leaving a woman smiling softly in his wake.

-Yerin…

Geomseong slowly closed his eyes as he stared at her.

okay.

I am.

You will have to be alone for the rest of your life.

I will have to carry this task alone for the rest of my life.

.

.

.

I looked at Geomseong, and her face was so red that it felt like it was going to explode.

“Did you do that?”

“…Well, it was a time when I was a bit energetic.”

After a long time, Geomseong and the two were drinking and the conversation came up. A story about her past.

Even what happened at the imperial palace and how she wandered around alone.

While listening to various stories, I smiled and asked the Sword Saint.

“Lonely all my life…”

“Da, you…”

After hesitating, she grabbed the hem of my clothes.

Is it because she still looks young even though she is now a mother of one child? Her charm stood out even more.

As I wiped away the tears from her slightly watery eyes, she leaned her head on my arm.

“…Because I didn’t know we would meet.”

While saying that, I smiled and gave the swordsman who was leaning forward a little kiss.

“Well, the old days are just the old days, right?”

“That’s right! It was a long time ago! Not now!”

She spoke confidently and held my hand tightly.

“Because I have someone to catch me now.”

“I see.”

“So…”

Geomsung smiled as he slowly brought his face into my hand and rubbed it.

“Please never let go.”

“Don’t even think about running away.”

“Haha…”

Geomseong smiled and kissed my palm and then spoke softly.

“I will never do it.”
