“Don’t worry. The subordinates will be waiting at a distance, so they will not ruin the friendly atmosphere.”

What kind of guy’s atmosphere is an atmosphere.

Those words rose up into the companions’ throats, but they barely swallowed them.

“Hmm. You seemed confused, but you came to a decision quite quickly?”

Dokgo Yi-seol smiled at Tang So-yeol’s direct question.

“Yes. When I thought about it, it was a really simple story. Originally, no matter who Yong-maeng was or what his circumstances were, I wanted to keep him by my side at all costs.”

There was quite a bit of sincerity in Dokgo Iseol’s remarks.

In the end, I knew that Yong-maeng Yong-maeng was hiding the story in some way. And in order to take that story into account, didn’t you increase your strength and promise yourself that if that doesn’t work, you will somehow keep him by your side?

The fact that Yong-maeng Yong-maeng had a lover with the truth that he was a swordsman was a shocking event that surpassed even the determination of such a theory.

In the end, didn’t he run all the way to Xinjiang, pledging countless times to take over Yongyongmaeng no matter what the odds?

“He was a brave and courageous person… I was shocked and felt betrayed, but when I thought about it carefully, it wasn’t necessarily a bad thing. It’s attractive to have Yong Yong-maeng, an unknown warrior and my personal friend, by my side, but wouldn’t it be a bad thing to be next to Noegeomnang-in, a great knight of the world and an expert in the art of fireworks?”

The fact that Yong Yong-maeng was a black man was shocking, but there were also elements that could be viewed positively.

Isn’t there a saying that it is a red skirt?

It was a theory that Yong Yong-maeng itself was the goal, but if such Yong-maeng actually had military power, fame, and connections, it was something to be happy about, not something to hate.

Lee Seol had to give up a lot to connect with Yong Yong-maeng, but by connecting with Noegeomnang-in, Lee Seol was also able to gain a lot.

Heukmyo, Yeo Il-ye, and Hyuk Kirin’s complexions hardened at the declaration of war on the Dokgo Yi theory.

Dokgo Iseol smiled and looked at the reactions of his companions.

“So what do you plan to do?”

In response to Yeo Il-ye’s question, Dokgo Iseol looked at Yeo Il-ye and Heukmyo. Those who connected with Noegeomnangin yesterday.

‘These are not easy opponents.’

A beauty that is considered the best in Yunnan. A black cat with a beauty that shattered my inner confidence that no one would surpass me in terms of beauty.

Also, Yeo Il-ye, a famous thief and swordsman throughout the central region. The magnitude of the prayer that was implicitly exuded was truly astounding.

‘In addition…’

Dokgo Iseol’s gaze reached Hyeok Kirin.

I don’t know yet about Dang So-yeol and Dang Do-yeon, who are keeping their distance, but judging from the situation so far, it seems almost certain that they are potential competitors.

The competitors were too strong to win Ho Cheon-an’s heart just by rushing in.

And the situation wasn’t good either.

Dokgo Iseol looked at Ho Cheon-an, who was weighed down by the current situation.

‘Even if you bring the world’s greatest bastard, you have no choice but to be cautious.’

The two become lovers, and not long after, he accepts another woman into his heart.

‘If Yongjimaeng was such a libertine, I wouldn’t have given him my heart in the first place.’

I needed time.

Time to sneak into Hocheonan’s heart.

Therefore, the Dokgo theory chose a long game.

“We know what you are most concerned about. If the behind-the-scenes fight between Jeong-cheol and Noegeomnang-in is revealed, many troubles will inevitably arise.”

When Dokgo Iseol directly mentioned the part he was most worried about, tension appeared on the faces of the group.

“However, I came all the way here with the single thought of loving Yong-maeng. I have no intention of causing trouble to the person I care about.”

“Keu…”

“Hmm…”

Black Cat and Yeo Il-ye’s complexions were colored with discomfort, but they could not do anything and just let out a groan.

It was extremely annoying to hear that he adored Yong Yong-maeng, but it was also nice to hear that he had no intention of causing trouble for Ho Cheon-an.

“My appearance must have been sudden both for Noegeomnangin and for all of you who traveled with us. It’s the same for me too. So…let’s take our time.”

Dokgo Iseol looked at Hocheonan and smiled.

“Time to get to know each other rather than just pushing each other away.”

*** ***

“Um.”

Wi Seo-ryeon, who visited the campsite, was saddened by the changes in the camp that she could see at a glance.

A group of people with uncomfortable expressions and Dokgo Iseol smiling brightly, sandwiched between them.

Dokgo Yi-seol, who noticed Wi Seo-ryeon’s visit, stood up and started attacking her.

“I was late in saying hello yesterday. It is said to be Dokgo Iseol, the small head of Amryongmun in Yunnan.”

“Is this a Dokgo conflict theory called Yunnan Jeilhwa? You don’t have to introduce yourself.”

“Of course. How could I not recognize Socheonma Wi Seo-ryeon, having seen and experienced those eyes, hair, and the power just as rumored?”

“You should keep quiet about your coming and going here.”

“Yes.”

Wi Seo-ryeon dragged Tang So-yeol out as a gambling partner without paying any attention to the party members.

Tang Xiaoyeol, who was dragged into the gambling room, looked at Wei Xulian with astonished eyes. Party members also live without worrying about what others think, so they don’t bow down to anyone, but this is a move of such foolishness that even those party members are appalled.

“Well, um…what is it? Is it okay to end it like that?”

“What do you mean?”

“No, I’m talking about silencing the Dokgo-I theory.”

“Hmm. Do you need more than this?”

Wi Seo-ryeon looked at the goal card and muttered at the same time.

“I told him to keep quiet, and Dokgo Iseol recognized that if he didn’t keep quiet, he would have to pay the price. If you don’t follow it, you will pay a price. What else is there?”

Tang Xiaoyeol felt a slight chill down his spine.

If you don’t listen, they will trample on you.

Any decent person would laugh it off as just common bravado, but if the person who said those words was Socheonma Wi Seo-ryeon, it became a threat that could never be laughed at.

Moorim is wrapped up in various justifications, but ultimately returns to the logic of power.

In Tang Xiaoyeol’s mind, the fact that he was one of the strongest men in the vast martial forest of Wei Shulian suddenly occurred to him.

and.

Dokgo Yi-seol’s eyes also lit up when he saw Wei Seo-ryeon gambling with Tang So-yeol.

“Noegeonnang-in, you have a wide network of people.”

“…”

“The connection with the Podalap Palace is surprising, but the network that mobilizes the imperial special forces also has ties to the Heavenly Demon Church.”

Hyeok Kirin, the royal family’s personal connection, broke into a cold sweat.

Ho Cheon-an and his group have no choice but to begin an uncomfortable cohabitation at the suggestion of Dokgo Iseol.

However, because he only reluctantly accepted it and did not welcome it to his heart, there was an uncomfortable silence, but Dokgo Iseol smiled brightly and looked back at the group.

Since I was forced to squeeze in between the group, I was fully prepared for this kind of situation.

‘Maybe it’s because they’re from a political faction, but they’re not that cruel.’

Rather, I thought the Dokgo Yi theory was worth a try.

Because deep down, I was prepared for a black cat, a female soldier, and even bloodshed.

It was an uncomfortable atmosphere, but it was no big deal when I thought back to the time before running out to the base, when sharp words were exchanged with each faction due to the competition for successor.

Therefore, the Dokgo theory was dug into more actively.

“I heard your name is Hocheonan.”

“…Yes.”

“Then, can I call you Hocheonan from now on?”

The Dokgo-bi theory hits you right away.

“It’s okay if you call me Gaga.”

It was Yeo Il-ye who put a stop to the Dokgo-disease theory.

“You are truly rude.”

“What do you mean?”

“A person who witnessed with his own eyes that I and Eunkong were connected would act in such a frowned upon manner?”

Dokgo Iseol smiled at Yeo Il-ye’s criticism.

“Isn’t the Ho family now a person who has made a name for himself throughout the world? Of course, many women are bound to follow.”

“Don’t call me Gaga!”

I still call him Eunkong, but I can’t believe I’ve already started calling him Gaga!

It was supposed to be the beginning of a sweet love life, but when Dokgo Iseol, who had disrupted the relationship, mentioned that title, Yeo Il-ye’s stomach turned.

However, Yeo Il-ye had no choice but to stop at the continued words of Dokgo Yi Seol.

“Or, do you, Yeo Il-ye and Sojeo, plan to take over Hogaga together as ‘the two of you’?

Yeo Il-ye’s eyes turned towards Hyuk Kirin without realizing it. Dokgo Iseol’s smile became even brighter when he saw that.

‘Is it as expected?’

Heukmyo and Yeo Il-ye made moves to push Hyuk Kirin.

A group of people who have been traveling together for a long time. It wouldn’t be strange if people with a connection formed an alliance of their own.

However, the two have already achieved the result, and Hyuk Kirin is still in the process.

Yeo Il-ye, who had Hyuk Kirin in mind, could not open her mouth without permission.

“Seeing that you didn’t have an answer, didn’t you think it was too much to do? Then, there is no need to get so worked up, is there? My martial arts skills are not bad and my background is also outstanding.”

“Kkkk…!”

Yeo Il-ye looks angry and Dokgo Yi-seol smiles triumphantly. The black cat who was watching this sighed.

Seeing Dokgo Yi Seol getting into trouble as soon as he joined the group, it seemed difficult to ignore.

“Wake up, senior.”

“Huh? Huh?”

Black Cat stood up the obnoxious Ho Cheon-an, who was just watching with bated breath in the current situation, and threw him to the seat next to Yeo Il-ye.

Wow.

And the black cat who took the remaining seat next to Hocheonan locked arms with him.

“Hey, hey…”

“Why? Even though we are lovers, we can do this much. What do you do?”

At the sight of the black cat, Yeo Il-ye also blushed and linked arms with Ho Cheon-an. A smile that couldn’t be hidden was revealed on Yeo Il-ye’s face as she shyly snuggled up to her.

After confirming that Yeo Il-ye had her arms crossed, Black Cat turned his head towards Dokgo Iseol.

Dokgo Iseol’s smile had disappeared everywhere.

The black cat that made eye contact with Dokgo Iseol looked at Dokgo Iseol with a calm expression. Dokgo Iseol was able to fully read the intentions engraved in the black cat’s beautiful eyes.

Don’t run wild.

A transaction is just a transaction, and I will not let you do whatever you want.

Dokgo Iseol bit his lower lip and looked at the black cat.

‘Okay, I admit it. That I was impatient…’

But that acknowledgment was only an acknowledgment of the indiscretion of the moment.

‘I will definitely take the position you are enjoying now.’

Dokgo Iseol looks at the black cat with passionate eyes, and the black cat looks at Dokgo Iseol with transparent eyes as if observing it.

It happened on the first day of our uncomfortable cohabitation.
