Episode 538Strong self-respect (6)
âHahaha! âYou said that?â
âIs that so funny?â
âMan, I have no such thing as a recluse. âI have been dealing with the world alone without any alumni.â
âI think I understand. âWhy is your personality so dull?â
âDark? âThere is no one more generous than me!â
Even though someone had arrived, the two people were laughing and clinking their glasses.
Yeon Ho-jeongâs expression suddenly became shocked.
âNo matter if theyâre strong in Seongcheon or something, theyâre just the same old guys when theyâre drunk.â
Both of them have achieved so high a level that they only appear to be middle-aged. Yang Cheon was already over sixty years old, and Mak Won was also well over fifty.
Isnât it a really strange feeling to see older people giggling with dull faces?
âuh! âIs Deputy Yeon here?â
Yang Chen waved his hand.
âCome and have a drink, too. âOh, but there are no snacks?â
Yeon Ho-jeong shrugged his shoulders.
âThere is no need for snacks.â
âAs expected, I like youth.â
Yang Cheon asked, filling a new glass with alcohol.
âHow was it? âWhat about first?â
Yeon Ho-jeong emptied his glass and laughed.
âRumors travel really fast.â
âHey man, I donât know where this is, but? âAll sensitive information comes to my ears.â
âBut I didnât expect it to be this fast.â
âSo what did he say to you? âI have a rough guess.â
âHe asked me to stand on his side?â
Yang Chen frowned.
âYou really said that?â
âyes.â
âPathetic guy. Even if you grit your teeth and train hard during that time, youâre just playing politics. And that too to a dispatcher from the Murim Alliance? âThe house is running well.â
âOthers may not know, but you shouldnât say things like that.â
âwhy me?â
âArenât you the Vice Master who managed his disciples like that?â
âIâve never managed anything?â
âI couldnât manage the indifference. âNo matter what, itâs all the vice-masterâs fault that the disciples are like that.â
Yang Chen grinned.
âWell, he is like that too.â
Makwon was inwardly surprised.
âIt must be quite a sensitive topic.â
It is so easy to criticize your students for being incompetent and say that you are the reason for their incompetence.
What was more surprising was Yangcheonâs reaction. Looking at his expression and voice, it seemed like he was not offended at all by Yeon Ho-jeongâs words.
âAre you saying this is the path you chose yourself?â
No matter how much it was, I felt like I would feel bad if it were me.
âItâs definitely not an ordinary bowl.â
Whether it was his unique personality or his great courage, it was clear that Yang Cheon was not an ordinary person.
âStop talking about the boring stuff.â
Yeon Ho-jeong asked Mak Won.
âI heard you had something else to say to me?â
Mo Yuan looked at Yang Chen.
Yang Chen cleared his throat and filled the cups for both of them.
âAdjutant Yeon.â
âPlease speak, my lord.â
âDo you know that this personâs body has been pickled in poison?â
âI know. No matter how you look at it, it doesnât look like itâs been pickled.â
âIt was being handled properly. âBut I still havenât found a way to get rid of it.â
âokay.â
âIâll ask you straight. Do you know what kind of poison is in the body of your junior soldier?â
Yeon Ho-jeong shook his head.
âI do not know.â
âis it?â
Makwonâs expression as he looked at Yangcheon became strange.
Yang Chen ignored Mo Yuanâs gaze.
âI donât know, but it could be deciphered, right?â
âAny poison can be detoxified if you find a way. Even if the members of the Mukryongbu stick to it, it will be deciphered, right?â
âI already got a checkup. Of course, they said it wasnât an ordinary poison. âIâm handling it well because Iâm a junior in the military. They say itâs the most deadly poison of all poisons that even a supreme expert canât withstand for five days.â
âIt would have to be that much of a poison to poison the worldâs hundreds of evil spirits.â
âI guess so.â
Yeon Ho-jeong emptied his glass again and spoke.
âI donât know what kind of poison it is, but I can tell the type of poison that the Three Churches sprayed.â
âAs expected.â
Yeon Ho-jeong looked at Mak Won.
âAre you upset?â
If you had decided to use words other than that and tried to decipher the poison, you might have figured out how to decipher it by now.
But Yeon Ho-jeong didnât do that. It was because Makwon did not bring out everything he had.
In that case, there is no need to do everything you can. It may be trivial and petty, but at the center of this relationship is war. Of course, I had no choice but to go out.
Of course, that assumed that Makwon had the ability to withstand the poison. If Makwonâs condition had been critical, Yeonhojeong would have also gone out of his way to find a way to detoxify it.
Makwon asked in a calm tone.
âWere you planning on waiting?â
âThatâs right.â
âI see.â
âOf course, I donât have much time, so I couldnât just wait. âI was planning on making a hint when my patience reached its limit.â
âItâs not a very good picture.â
âIsnât that why the Vice Lord came forward because he knew that?â
Yang Cheon burst out laughing.
âIâm also very good at noticing things like that.â
âIâm trying to be polite.â
Yeon Ho-jeong asked comfortably.
âSo have you made up your mind now?â
Makwon smiled.
âYou mean to tell me the story about my asceticism and my execution?â
âThatâs right.â
âThe decision has been made. But before that, I want to ask you something.â
âIâm keeping my ears open.â
âIf by any chance my brother-in-law is going astray in your opinion, do you plan to kill him then?â
âIâm not sure what kind of road this is.â
Yeon Ho-jeong said as he poured alcohol into Yang Cheonâs glass.
âIf he takes the side that harms the Central Plains in this war, we will kill him by any means necessary.â
ââ¦.â
âThey will probably assassinate him before the war begins in earnest. âThat way, your back will be comfortable.â
It was an honest answer.
On the contrary, upon hearing those words, Yang Cheon made a stinging expression. I wondered if there was any need to give such an honest answer.
Yeon Ho-jeong read Yang Cheonâs expression.
âSenior Makwon is ready to open his heart and speak his truth. âIf thatâs the case, then I, too, should risk my life and reveal my truth.â
ââ¦Who said what? Anyway, heâs handsome.â
âThank you for the compliment.â
Yeon Ho-jeong, who silenced Yang Cheon with a few words, asked Mak Won again.
âHow about you, senior? âIf we have to kill him, will you stop us?â
âThat kind of situation will comeâ¦â
Makwon closed his eyes for a moment.
The atmosphere suddenly seemed to sink. When I thought about the topic of conversation, it was even more strange that it didnât become heavy.
After some time, Makwon opened his eyes.
âMy shrine is in Liaodong. Itâs located in a place where no one knows. âIt was like that back then.â
âYouâre saying itâs different now.â
âEvery time the clan lord changes, the clanâs residence also changes. âIn the first place, we donât build a foundation like the powerful martial arts sect.â
âWhat kind of sect is this?â
âMujongmun.â
At that moment, Yangcheon and Yeonhojeongâs eyes widened.
Makwon laughed bitterly.
âIt seems like you both have heard of it.â
ââ¦You just heard about it?â
Yangcheon looked at Yeonhojeong with a sullen face.
âThis fraudster even tricked me into taking the position of head of the Mujongmun?â
âyes?â
Makwon looked at Yeonhojeong with a puzzled expression.
Yeon Ho-jeong scratched his head.
âWell⦠something like that happened.â
âSomething like that?â
âI once tried to rob the Inkryongbu. âThe identity he presented at that time was that of the great brother of Mujongmun.â
Yang Chen tilted his head.
âWere you the ambassador?â
âI guess so? To be honest, I donât remember much right now.â
âItâs worth it. Tuwangâs name isnât as great as you think, right? âItâs easy to forget little things.â
âAre you upset?â
âYouâre so noisy, you idiot!â
Although they were grumbling, both Yangcheon and Yeonhojeong were very surprised on the inside.
Mujongmun. It is truly a legendary sect.
Some say it was built over a hundred years ago, while others say it was built hundreds of years ago.
What is important is that Mujongmun was a group formed by the best experts from various fields.
Other than that, there is no information. In fact, even in the black island, which is said to be more than a hundred islands in terms of information, I did not know anything about the residence of the Mujongmun or the martial arts or mungyu used by its members.
Therefore, when Yeon Ho-jeong came to Mukryongbu as Sejak, he borrowed the name of Mujongmun.
At that time, Yeon Ho-jeong and his group all had different skills in martial arts. Even if they try to hide their martial arts skills, you can tell that each person has learned a completely different martial arts skill just by their temperament and gait.
Even though they are the same monk, there are not many cases where people learn martial arts with such different temperaments.
That was the reason why the name Mujongmun worked so well.
But here is a real descendant of the Mujongmun.
âI see. âWell, I donât know the exact circumstances.â
Makwon nodded.
âThatâs right. âI and my brother-in-law, the person who Wulin calls King Chang, are all descendants of Mujongmun.â
Yang Chenâs face became serious.
âItâs called Mujongmun.â
Isnât this a really great sect?
Even the six major factions of the Baekdo political faction, one faction of the nine factions, failed to properly produce a strong player from Seongcheon. The political faction groups that held power in Seongcheon were Shaolin, the shaman Namgung, and the Tang family.
However, Mujongmun had two names listed on the Seongcheon Thirteenth Place without any external activity.
How on earth did this faction come into existence? He has such incredible potential that he has produced two of the best players in the midfield.
âTell me in detail. âAbout Mujongmun and your execution.â
The conversation continued for over an hour.
Perhaps because it was the first time in a while that they talked about the past, Makwon said he was tired and left. It seemed like he had a lot to think about.
In the end, only two people, Yang Cheon and Yeon Ho-jeong, remained in Daejeon Mukryongwon.
âWhat do you think?â S~eaÊá´h the nôᴠel Fire.nÑt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
âWhat do you mean?â
âSo Hyeon-rip.â
Yeon Ho-jeong sighed.
âFirst of all⦠I have to see the manna.â
âokay?â
Yeon Ho-jeong also had a lot of thoughts. Yangcheon was no different.
Yeon Ho-jeong stood up.
âFirst of all, get some rest today. âJust to organize my thoughts.â
âokay. âLetâs do that.â
âIâll go first.â
Yeon Ho-jeong turned his back.
At that time, Yang Chen raised his glass and said.
âI am confident that I will not cross the line.â
Yeon Ho-jeong stopped walking and looked back at Yang Cheon.
Yang Cheon emptied his glass and continued speaking.
âYou are a good person. I donât think youâll cross any lines while staying here. âUnless itâs something serious.â
âWhat do you want to say?â
âSecondly, did you think that Baekdo would not be provoked after the war?â
âI donât know what youâre talking about.â
âThe older one made a fool of himself first, but there was no need to tell the second one about it.â
Yang Cheon smiled and looked at Yeon Ho Jeong.
His eyes were not smiling.
âI like the second one. âUnder the current circumstances, the second one has the highest probability of becoming my successor.â
ââ¦.â
âBut when you become my successor, it will be very different from what you think now.â
Yeon Ho-jeong said with a smile.
âPeople can always change.â
âOf course it is.â
âIâm going. See you tomorrow.â
âRest in peace.â
Thatâs how Yeon Ho-jeong left Daejeon.
Yang Chenâs face, holding the glass, was as cold and chilly as ice.
âItâs the difference between ambition and beliefâ¦.â
