‘Yoon-ah. You must listen carefully to what the adults say. Okay?’
‘What about your brother?’
‘Hyung… … will go somewhere for a bit and come back to find Yoon later.’
‘when?’
‘Um… when Yoon-i got stronger?’
‘More than my brother?’
‘I’ll come when you’re at your strongest in the place where you’ll be staying.’
‘Then I want to become strong quickly. So I want to live with my brother.’
‘Okay. Let’s do that.’
‘promise.’
‘promise…….’
One day when a warm breeze was blowing.
After saying goodbye to my younger brother, I went out of the shabby house.
But I already knew.
If I leave like this, I will never come back.
So, foolishness held me back. I wanted to hug my little sister one more time. I tried to go back home.
but…….
‘Never forget that wherever you are, your roots are in the degree.’
I had to stop in my tracks when I heard a familiar voice behind me.
‘Park Agent 103.’
Bam! A strong impact hit the back of my head, and my mind became dizzy.
And when I woke up again, I was here.
Here in Tian Shan, a place full of lofty peaks in distant Xinjiang.
Become a member of the Demonic Cult, not the Murim Alliance.
And now… … .
“Jang Yi-seo-!”
“omg!”
I opened my eyes wide, gasping for breath at the thunderous roar.
I felt the excitement of sweat on my palms. Only then did I come out of the dream and the sense of reality seeped into me like air.
I quickly turned my head to the side and saw a handsome, idiotic guy standing there with a sad expression on his face.
“Ma… … oh?”
“Hey, it’s me! Are you awake?”
“……okay.”
“Hey kid. I can tell you’re alive now that you’re speaking informally!”
I think so. I have a bit of a headache though.
“huh?”
At that moment when I was pressing my temple, Mao suddenly ran over and hugged me.
What the heck, this kid. I completely forgot about the headache I was feeling from being so flustered.
“What are you doing now?”
As I try to push away, I see his shoulders shaking slightly.
No way… … Are you crying? This is it, oh my… … .
No matter how strong he pretends to be, he’s only nineteen years old. Jang-seo patted his shoulder with shallow breathing.
“Are you crying? I’ll cry.”
“Shut up. You really… … .”
Mao stands up with a jerk and wipes away his tears.
I looked at him and smiled, then looked around. Then, a familiar sight came into view through the wide open window.
Chilsogung.
That place had now become home.
“What happened?”
Clearly, my last memory is Kowloon Castle.
As I blurted out what I usually had to say, Mao frowned as if to ask when I had ever cried.
“Don’t you remember? You were really close to death. How on earth did you survive with that body?”
“How long was I in a faint?”
“Ten days. According to the devil, it was a miracle that his internal organs did not melt.”
Ten days. It’s been a long time.
The moment I woke up, I had a rough idea of what would happen.
The poison of the immortal was more severe than I thought.
I was addicted and stopped it from spreading further by puncturing the acupuncture points early, and then I used harmony techniques to control the poison as much as possible.
But the poison that first spread gradually ate away at my body and mind. And the moment I thought I couldn’t endure it anymore after finishing everything, I relaxed and lost consciousness.
“Guyu. What happened to the Huns?”
“You’re curious about that now? You almost died.”
“I know.”
“You know? A kid who knows that… …!”
“Because there’s no one in there who wouldn’t risk their life.”
“Oh my, you can’t even speak. You’re not even fully recovered yet. You’re terminally ill. You don’t know when you’ll die.”
Limited time… …?
Mao’s words suddenly made me look at my hands.
The fingernails have already broken off and disappeared, but the skin color is fine, except for being slightly tanned.
The inner self seen through one breath was different.
‘The poison… has spread.’
The immortal poison lived up to its name, not dying, but living. And it was poisoned to the core, including all of its internal organs.
It’s a blessing in disguise that the poison that was clumped together is now scattered into small pieces.
‘Did the magician take emergency measures?’
That’s the only way I can think of it. Anyway, at this point, it wouldn’t be strange if I died at any time.
“Are the Huns still there?!”
“Is this the time to be worrying about others?”
Because it’s a promise. Mao answered, beating his chest as Zhang Yishu looked at him resolutely.
“They weren’t. They only consumed a small amount of poison and recovered quickly. But you were completely devastated.”
Yes, I did. I didn’t know that you would jump off the Guryongseong Fortress with your own feet and cut the temple.
‘Your inner strength is mine! It’s all mine! Hahahaha!’
Even thinking about it now, it really makes my mind dizzy.
“Anyway, are the Huns safe then?”
“Oh. Everything is fine.”
Thank goodness. I was really thankful. Well, there’s no way the magician would have said he would cure me without my confidence.
“Are you laughing? Are you laughing? If you look closely, you’re really evil. You bastard. You look like you’re going to die!”
“Usually, that kind of thing is considered to be a good personality.”
“Don’t say that with your own mouth! Anyway, when the demon wakes up, I told you to bring him to Doksan Pavilion right away. Until then, absolutely no use of internal energy is allowed. You never know when the poison will strike again.”
“Should I also forbid internal energy?”
“Oh. If you want to die, you don’t have to do that.”
Broadly speaking… … The gift he gave me was quite large. I took him for granted.
“Let’s go straight to Doksan-gak. Go there now and get treatment first.”
Mao grabs her arm and lifts her up.
“I just woke up. So. What happened after that?”
“Wow, have you ever seen such a stuffy fox?”
“Answer the question.”
Mao opened his eyes slightly, let out a long sigh, and recalled his memories.
“You collapsed like that back then… … .”

Kowloon City was plunged into silence.
‘… … going back.’
And the third elder, Maeng Cheol-yong, turned around with a serious face. Myo Chae-gyeong trembled as she showed her murderous intent towards the fallen Jang I-seo… … .
‘Aren’t you going?’
‘Iiyik… …! I have to go. I’m going! What are you doing instead of going!’
Because the elder, Ma-ui, was standing firm, I had no choice but to turn around.
What followed was a series of treatments.
There was a shortage of medicinal herbs, but Soo, who had suddenly disappeared, miraculously brought them back, so I was able to focus on treatment without any problems.
After that, Soo just said hello and disappeared.
‘Your Majesty, I have been away for too long. I will come to the palace to see you after finishing my business at the guest house.’
‘Okay. Thank you.’
‘Haha, next time, please remember my name. It’s Soo.’
‘Go, you son of a bitch.’
After three days of treating the Huns, everyone returned to their hometown after another day.
‘I’ve taken a temporary measure, but I won’t be able to last long. This guy’s only way to survive is at Doksan Pavilion… … . When he wakes up, be sure to come find me. Be sure to.’
And Ma-ui left after giving Jang-seo some serious advice.
Five more days passed.

“… … I heard that Maeng-Hwi entered a closed-door retreat. It seems like things didn’t go well. But he said he would definitely come back. Until then, take care.”
Mao finished his explanation and showed a bitter expression. Zhang Yi also spat lightly.
Although he succeeded in saving Maeng-hui, he was unable to free her from the shadow of Maeng-ga.
but.
‘… … Then, how can I not? Zhang Bozhu and Mao are my friends. And they are innocent. So. No one should blame them.’
It wasn’t all bad. Maeng Hui was the first to firmly express his intentions to his father, and also to his father, Maeng Cheol-yong.
‘Who is the one who touched the body of the sixth prince?’
It seems that he is not a cold-blooded person with no denial as rumored.
Perhaps one day the crooked rich will come face to face.
“Well, anyway, the ending is that everyone is safe.”
Mao laughed heartily. Zhang Yi also laughed in return.
And then a familiar low-pitched voice flowed in from behind.
“Are you awake?”
When he turned his head, the three figures came into view. Jang Il-seo’s eyes were wide like crescent moons.
“That’s fortunate.”
Dragon of the battlefield, Guyu.
“I’m safe… … I’m so sorry… … .”
Asin, a female warrior with ponytail, bows her head in an unfamiliar, awkward tone.
and.
“Hey, hey… … . Brother… … sir.”
A guy who lowers his head and hides his reddened eyes, Gwapyeong.
They came together to this Chilsogung Palace. Jang Yi-seo smiled and said.
“Isn’t it a bit much to call him ‘brother’ with that face?”
“I’m still twenty-seven!”
“Oh my god. I’m the older brother. Come here.”
Gwapyeong approached him, hesitantly. Jang-seo extended his hand and greeted him.
“Thank you for being alive. This is Jang Il-seo.”
“It’s over… … . Thank you for saving my life, brother.”
“The son of a bitch is crying.”
“Wow, who’s crying? I’m just glad that you’re okay.”
When Gwapyeong rolled his feet with a bright red face, everyone burst into laughter. Then he turned his head to Asin. Judging from the way he avoided eye contact, it seemed like there were still many things that were awkward.
“Make yourself comfortable. Let’s get along well.”
“Okay… please. I know.”
“It’s Jang Seo-da.”
Only then did Asin meet his eyes and bow his head. He is a quiet person with great ability, so he is truly dependable.
And the last one is… … .
“It’s a guy.”
Dragon of the battlefield, Guyu.
I have taken him into my arms, who can be called the sleeping dragon of the four seas.
This was the greatest harvest of this campaign, and it was like establishing the first solid pillar that would support Mao in the future.
In this way, new members were added to the Chilsogung family.
“But wouldn’t it have been a bit too small for all the Huns to live here?”
After the warm greeting, Zhang Yi brought up a thought that suddenly occurred to him. Mao responded with his shoulders raised.
“I already told Yongtae. Guyuman will stay in the palace, and the rest of you will all have places to stay in the village. It’s a kind of security measure, because we don’t know when assassins will come again? Well, there’s a lot of chaos in the world, like people bringing a group of thieves. How’s it going? Did you do well?”
Why? It’s not a bad idea.
If Gwapyeong and Asin are protecting the village together with Cheolmajeok, there is nothing more reassuring than that.
“Well done.”
“Hahaha! Okay, let’s go to Doksan-gak now. You need to get treated quickly.”
“Before that.”
“uh?”
“Please leave, I have something to say to you for a moment.”
“suddenly?!”
“yes.”
Wow, sir. You spicy bastard. Mao made a sour expression at the sudden ban.
What can I do?
We must follow the patient’s words. Mao took Gwa-pyeong and Ah-sin outside.
And soon, when only Gu-yu and Jang-seo were left, Jang-seo got out of bed.
“ah.”
The world suddenly spins. If you just put your feet on the ground and wait, things will get better soon. Gu-yu came over and asked, perhaps worried about the sight.
“Are you okay?”
“no.”
“To be honest. How about lying down more?”
“There’s a lot to do for that.”
“I heard that the treatment isn’t completely finished.”
Gu-yu’s expression filled with regret. Jang-seo saw this and smiled, then passed him by and said.
“Let’s go out. Let’s get some fresh air.”
“… … Okay.”
Two people came out.
