#Everything is just the beginning

When I returned to Chilsogung after a long time, many things had changed.

A magnificent gate. A smokescreen on one side. A pond and garden filled with lotus flowers. And a side table in front of it where several people can sit.

As if they had grown further and returned, this place had also developed.

What was most unique was the patterns carved everywhere, starting from the main gate.

A shape with rings densely packed on the outer surface of a circular circle. Is this the sun?

“Hahahaha! Brother, do you see this? If the Grand Duke is a flame, we are the sun! Isn’t it amazing?”

Yongtae pointed to the patterns here and there as if he was excited. It’s not bad. It seems like it will help increase a sense of belonging.

Above all, Mao liked it very much.

“Oh, Yongtae, this kid! He’s quite the character. After all, I’m saying that the genius Mao is the sun.”

“Hahahaha! That’s right. Rouge and I have prepared this with great care. Hehe. When it opens in the future, it’s just dazzling. The kids will go crazy. The clothes, the weapons. We’ll give you everything.”

“Good. I like it. When I become the leader of the sect, you will be appointed as the seamstress of Wolha Village.”

“Hey, Bongsu?!”

What the heck? It’s just a sewing shop.

“Hahahaha! Let’s go in!”

As they entered the Chilsogung Palace, Maoooooo! Chilmuwi gave a powerful greeting in front of the main gate, then took the girl and returned to the village.

The family gathered around the naturally expanded garden table.

We have new family members, and now that we have returned from our trip, catch-up conversations are a must.

Mao sat in the center, of course, and next to him were Ma Yi, Guyu, Gwa Pyeong, Asin, Hong Lan, Yong Tae, and Megi.

Zhang Li sat behind Mao, and although he was repeatedly told to sit down, he refused, saying that it was more comfortable.

In this way, the first proper palace meeting of Chilsogung began.

“This is how it is without Master Zhuge Liang. Yongtae and Meggi. You have had a hard time.”

The beginning was naturally filled with praise for the Black Dragon Workshop.

Others may have continued to see it, but Jang-seo felt it more because he hadn’t been back for over a month.

“Considering the favor I received, isn’t it only natural? I’m currently working on something proper, so please look forward to it. I also have someone I want to introduce to you. Hehe.”

Yongtae smiled confidently, showing his gums. It’s probably not time to brag yet, but it’s not a bad thing to be willing to try anything.

“But is there anyone you can introduce me to?”

“Yes. He is a young man named Guhaun, but he is a very useful field officer. I will formally greet him next time.”

I nodded, moved by his words.

Who among the martial artists wouldn’t have feelings for a skilled general? It’s a good thing in many ways to be close to one.

“Look forward to it.”

“yes!”

As Yongtae answered forcefully, Ma-ui muttered next to him with her brows furrowed.

“What, you even let that kind of rascal in? That’s why you make fun of Chilsogung. Tsk tsk.”

“That bastard?! When was it that he was liquidated?!”

“You are a magician.”

“If you act like a brat, you’re a dragon. If you act like a brat, you’re a dragon.”

Tsk! Ma-ui clicked his tongue and turned his head, and Yong-tae, who was lying face down, sat back down with his turtle neck hunched over.

Jang Yi-seo glanced at me, cleared his throat, and spoke.

“… … As you all know, we won the battle against Maga. We defeated Maga Chilgak, and the Seven Princes defeated Muhyeolgong and regained their pride. It is something to be happy about and proud of.”

Everyone, including Mao, looked pleased. Zhang Yi hardened his expression and declared.

“But that’s only until today. Now, more people will be watching us than before, and they will try to get close to us. There will be many dangerous moments. We must become stronger. We must not rest on our laurels. There are only two things for us: the beginning and the end. Until the Seven Princes sit on the seat of the Young Leader, everything is just the beginning.”

Such realistic and tragic words.

right.

Becoming a cult leader means reigning over all. To do that, you have to go harder than anyone else.

“Your Majesty the Seven Princes.”

“huh.”

“We are all people who have gathered to see the Seven Princes.”

Mao’s expression hardened somewhat. In the past, he would have smiled and said it was good, but he saw the determination of Chilmuwei and Zhang Yishu in Maga.

“I know that too.”

As Mao answered seriously, Zhang Yishu continued with a faint smile.

“These are the pillars that will soon form the Chilsogung Palace, and in the future, they will be the ones to let the whole world know about the Chilsogung Palace. So from now on, Your Majesty the Seven Princes must use them properly.”

“hmm?”

“If you have to protect, you have to think about who to assign. If you have to cut down, you have to think about who to send. Also, what kind of work you will assign in the future. What kind of work you have to do. Think deeply about everything.”

“I think I know what you mean… … . You’re telling me to use it properly, like I would treat a general.”

That’s roughly what it means.

“Okay. Then, since there are a lot of truths in Chwiseonru, let’s send Yongtae there. Also, he likes drinking. It’s a good match.”

“Who would send someone there to protect whom? If Hongran had put her mind to it, it wouldn’t take even a second to point it out.”

“Right. Rouge isn’t exactly ordinary. Then let’s go to Asin. There’s something women have in common. Hahahaha! I’m a genius after all?”

“Well, if there are two beauties, wouldn’t there be more truths? It’s best to leave the truths alone.”

“Oh, really… …? Then let’s do it with Guyu. Alright, that’s it!”

“Isn’t he protecting the Seven Princes?”

“No, wait a minute. Then… …the six elders?!”

“Does that make sense?”

“Over-evaluation.”

“That’s great.”

What the f*ck… … ? I feel so f*cking weird.

“It would be good for Gwa-pyeong to stay at Chwiseonru from now on, and for Wolha Village to have the Chilmuwi patrol the area in three shifts, with five people per group. Also, since His Ma-ui is a guest and not a member of the family, it would be difficult to ask for help publicly.”

If not, everyone will try to use external forces, and eventually, we will end up going all the way to Cheonmajeon to decide who is right and who is wrong.

“Okay. Okay. As a doctor, I guess it’s okay for me to voluntarily treat the injured people in front of me.”

As I nodded, Mao waved his hand as if it was enough and said,

“Just do whatever she says. Well, you’ve done it before. But you can’t compromise on this one thing.”

“What are you talking about?”

“I see. You stay next to me.”

what?

“No, there’s no need for that… … .”

“It’s noisy. Can you go around alone as an assistant? It’s only natural to have a signal receiver.”

What sticks to a spy is not the receiver, but the watcher. It’s a cumbersome job in many ways.

“it’s okay.”

“It’s okay, isn’t it? You know, you have to be there and protect him no matter what. Don’t even try to leave him. This kid always falls over with a nosebleed? So even if he’s sleeping or taking a shit, you have to protect him no matter what.”

“When did I get a nosebleed… … .”

“Be quiet. This is my disobedience.”

It must be an order. I honestly wanted to refute it, but Mao’s expression was so resolute that I ended up nodding.

“Please take care of me.”

“I will follow.”

I tried to assign separate escorts to Yongtae and Heukryonggongbang, but he stubbornly refused.

“Hahaha! Don’t worry. I’m Yongtae. I’ve been holding out on my own up until now. Even if I had escorts, it would only cause misunderstandings, so I’ll take care of it myself.”

“If you think there’s a problem, tell Hongran right away.”

“Yes, bro!”

Then, it was decided that the funds and information would be handled by the Chuseonru. In this way, each person’s role was assigned.

“Okay! Then let’s do it properly from now on! Ah, let’s rest for today.”

Hahaha! Mao’s ambition caused a cheerful laugh to spread.

After that, Chilsogung had a smooth day. Of course, it was a little noisy.

“No, you’ve been running around like this all this time?!”

He had only taken off his upper garment to do some back massage. The demon was shocked at the countless wounds.

“Have you seen these crazy guys? Follow me now!”

“Hahahaha! Goodbye, Jang.”

“Do you think that the Seven Princes are an exception?”

“No, me too?!”

“You too! And Guyu, you too. Everyone gather in the annex!”

“No, even if you are an elder, I am still the seventh son. Be careful with your words.”

“Gosh! There’s no such thing as family background for patients!”

“F*ck?!”

For several days, we lay side by side and received treatment from the magician.

His skills were clear.

“Gu-yu, this guy was like that last time too, and he doesn’t have a separate body every time! If you want it so badly, why don’t you just die? And you, Lee Seo, you weren’t even cut by the swordsman of the Heavenly Swordsman, so what are all these wounds? Who did these things?”

It’s because you nag a bit too much.

“But Jang-seo. Why is Yuk Jang-ro your older brother?”

“Didn’t you know? You have a lot of wrinkles, but you look younger than you are, hyung.”

“Was that it?!”

I guess so. That’s how Chilsogung slowly adapted little by little.

A truly cozy peace.

Of course, the situation outside the fence was not so quiet.

‘The Seven Princes defeated the Bloodless Prince!’

Because this simple and short line made Cheonsan burn like an active volcano. The first reaction that came out the most was just three words.

‘how?’

The greatest mystery of all time. Countless additional explanations followed in an attempt to understand that one sentence. Of course, at first, no one believed it.

‘It must be because of the medicine.’

‘I let my guard down.’

Most people attributed all the reasons to Mycin’s problems. But this did not last long, because the new news was so shocking.

‘His Majesty the Bloodless has achieved great success in Bukmyeongsingong!’

Oh my! This is something that can only make you gasp in amazement. Having mastered Bukmyeongsingong meant that you had reached a completely new level.

This is the birth of the second demon lord in Maga.

‘Then who defeated him is the Seven Princes…?’

Cheonsan was once again confused. Where on earth was he supposed to believe?

Everyone was curious about the truth, but Chilsogung and Maga kept their mouths shut as if they had made a promise. Perhaps because of that, the leaders also kept quiet.

Thanks to this, everything led to Maga’s praise.

‘No matter how much they say he’s a loser or a drug addict, there’s no one who can help him.’

‘Two suns rose in Maga!’

And this trend turned into bad news for the Grand Duke.

“Say it again. The elder rejected my offer?!”

An unexpectedly long curve was drawn on the Grand Duke’s drawing. It was an expression of Iljangro Maileong’s refusal to strike Chilsogung.

The ghost lord swallowed hard and answered.

“I may be presumptuous, but it was a friendly match, and the world praised it as two rising suns… … . If Maga were to hit the Chilsogung, it could easily look petty… … .”

Crunch! Before he could finish his words, the brush in the Archduke’s hand shattered into pieces.

I was really angry when I thought of him cherishing his stationery like a darling.

“Two suns? Who would dare say such a thing-!”

Pfft pfft!

The fragments of the brush he threw flew like a dagger and pierced through the wall.

Truly a tremendous feat.

One thing that was understandable was the anger. Before the mood could be stirred up by the disgrace of Maga, the rumor of two suns suddenly started to circulate.

“What kind of a bastard goes around spouting such nonsense? Go and catch him right now!”

At the Archduke’s shout, the Ghost Army hurriedly lowered their heads and went outside.

One… … If you catch someone you want to catch, how can you be a spy?

That’s right. The source of that rumor is Jang I-seo.

To be precise, behind this swirling orchid, there was a fast-moving red orchid.
