#Should I stay still?

– Wolha Village Chwiseonru.

“As you have commanded, I have taken steps to ensure that the world praises Mark.”

The 8th floor of the Chwiseonru building. Luju’s room, also known as Geumnam’s domain.

A man of ordinary appearance sits crookedly, putting down his glass with a worldly, carefree expression.

Then, Hongran, the owner of the glass, smiles and fills the empty glass again.

There is only one man in the world who can enjoy such luxury.

“great job.”

The real owner of this place, Chwiseonru, was Jang I-seo.

After all, who else but him would dare to provoke the Archduke?

As expected, he was behind this rumor.

It wasn’t a difficult task.

Where is Chwiseonru? It is the symbol of Wolha Village and the most talked about attraction in Cheonsan recently.

The number of people searching for it every day is uncountable.

It’s not like I’m making up facts that don’t exist, it’s just a matter of changing direction and blurting out the words, it’s as easy as dotting the dot.

“The Archduke must be feeling quite bitter. He may seem bold, but he is actually timid. If he has been sufficiently excited, then slowly divert his attention to avoid being caught. Divert his attention two or three times so that no one knows what was said.”

“Yes. I heard that there has been an increase in missing people at the main temple recently, so I have already sent them back there.”

“Excellent.”

As expected, it’s Hongran. She relieves my worries even without me asking her to.

Jang-seo took a sip of his drink with a much more relaxed expression. Then she swallowed her breath carefully. Now I could tell what she was trying to say just by listening to her breathing.

“It’s okay, just ask.”

“Did you get teased?”

There were a lot of questions. I waited for a few days without asking anything after returning to Chilsogung Palace, so there were bound to be a lot of questions.

“You can ask.”

Even though it was nothing special, Hongran was so moved that she opened her mouth, wrinkling the tip of her nose.

“What on earth happened at Doksan Pavilion? I really didn’t know that the Demon King would be staying at Chilsogung. And are you feeling better now?”

How curious must you be to keep talking? He smiled and nodded, dismissing it coolly.

“I met you by chance.”

“Is it fate?”

Hongran’s eyes opened again, cutely like a rabbit’s.

“Yes. That too is a very precious relationship.”

Jang Yi-seo explained in detail the events that took place at Doksan Pavilion.

Every time she heard it, Chu Hongran was greatly surprised and listened with admiration.

Of course, I kept my mouth shut about the demon who swallowed the internal energy of the poisonous demon and my master, the brain god Han Mu-yeong.

It’s not that I don’t trust Hongran, but it’s because finding out about it would only put her in more danger.

“As it turned out, Dokma took a liking to me, and thanks to that, he taught me the art of poison.”

“How is that possible?”

Of course not.

“They say I resemble the child I lost.”

“Ah! Such a sad story… … .”

I’m sorry, Sa-suk. I made my child die. Instead, if Gwang-ui is still alive, I will definitely catch him and bring him back. I will also step on the blood sect.

“I can’t believe it.”

That would be the case. Sa-suk’s last recorded activities were several decades ago, and he is now a hundred years old.

There was a moment of silence, and then Hongran suddenly asked with a startled look as if an idea had occurred to her.

“Wait a minute. Then the master is the master of Doksan-gak… …!”

“Well, that’s what happened.”

“oh my god.”

Thump thump. Hongran’s heart was so shocked that it didn’t calm down easily. Every time she went out, she would bring something this big with her.

‘If this continues, I might really become the master of the Demonic Cult.’

It sent a chill down my spine, but somehow I felt like it could be true. And on the other hand, I was worried.

‘Master, you are becoming stronger and stronger. Now, it is hard for me to even look at you.’

I feel like I’m falling behind more and more, even though I’m the one who should be supporting others.

He shook his head from side to side, trying to forget his gloomy thoughts, and changed the subject.

“So that’s why you were able to win against the Heavenly Swordsman.”

“Uh, what.”

Actually, that’s not true. But since he had nothing to say, Jang-seo just smiled awkwardly.

The swordsman of the heavens, Dan Ri-yeong.

When I think back to when I dealt with him, I still get chills.

The devil that had taken up residence in my chest. Because I vividly remember being almost eaten by that guy.

‘And I clearly saw the swordsman of the heavens.’

The day I left Maga.

Before going to the bamboo forest where Milesung was located, Jang Yi-seo first sought out the swordsman Dan Li-yeong of the Heavenly Swordsman.

Because his last moments were so terrifying and frightening.

And upon arriving at his place… … .

‘Are you feeling better?’

‘Eeeeeeeee!’

I only asked him how he was doing, but he was so shocked that he went crazy. I sent away the surprised servants and approached him.

Okay then.

‘Please, save me!’

He got down on his knees and begged for his life.

What on earth did you do? No, what did you see?

The answer was easy to figure out with just a little thought.

‘… … I saw it.’

It was a difficult situation. The Heavenly Demon was the symbol of the Heavenly Demon God. There was nothing good about it being known. Of course, you could see it and not know it. But.

‘I will never… never open my mouth. Even if you ask me, I will give my life to keep my mouth shut!’

Unfortunately, the swordsman of Buncheon knew.

What he saw.

Originally, it would have been right to kill him and shut his mouth. The white lightning-bearing Usu was trembling.

One, this is Maga. And he is a top-notch expert.

It is obvious that if the surprise attack fails, things will get even more awkward.

After much deliberation, I decided to remain silent.

‘… … .’

I just stared at him blankly, without saying a word.

Then Dan-Ri-Young began to shed tears.

This was never a lie out of fear or an expedient to escape the moment.

It was the cry of a weak demon who had been defeated to the core by the absolute evil spirit known as the Heavenly Demon.

He cried like that for a long time, and then I blurted it out and turned around.

‘… … Don’t forget. Heavenly Demon is always watching over us.’

It was just a thrown-out remark, but the effect was clear.

‘I will keep quiet and keep quiet again. May the Heavenly Demon Lord be blessed!’

‘… … I will test your loyalty to the church. Respond to the call immediately.’

‘I will be loyal to you, Little Heavenly Demon… ‘

In that way, I ended up having a very dangerous relationship with the swordsman of the heavens.

When he came out, he turned around with a serious expression like a madman, but inside he was burning with anger.

If at any time his mouth opens wrongly and the leader’s ears hear… … .

‘Die.’

You will die unconditionally. It is a terrible thing to even imagine. It is a completely different matter to inherit a part of the Heavenly Demonic Power and to pretend to be a successor.

If we have to charge him with a crime, it’s treason.

Besides, would the Confucius just sit still? They would be desperate to kill and get rid of them somehow.

So, the Swordsman of the Heavenly Kingdom had to be dealt with sooner or later, one way or another.

‘But what’s more urgent is this guy.’

I lowered my head and looked at my chest. I didn’t know when I would be eaten by this devil sleeping peacefully in my heart.

‘Even the Yin-Yang One Circle was useless. Last time, I was barely able to escape thanks to the Demon Brother… … .’

If you faint or get seriously injured and meet the Demon King again, then you really won’t be able to escape.

I don’t know what will happen in the future, but it’s something I absolutely don’t want to experience.

‘In the end, to defeat the Heavenly Demon, I have no choice but to become strong enough to eat it in return, or to find and learn the true art of Buddhism or Taoism that can withstand it. And that is only possible if you have martial arts skills that are at least as high as the Divine Power.’

But by any means. Neither path is easy.

But being blocked doesn’t mean there’s nothing to do. If you can’t come up with an answer right away, you can take care of something else first.

Then, there will definitely be a moment when a new gap appears.

If not today, then tomorrow. Because that’s the market.

“But, Master, will the Archduke just stay still? He must have a huge grudge against you after being hit twice.”

Hongran’s worried question brought him out of his thoughts. He soon swirled his glass around on the table and spoke.

“maybe?”

“Yes… …? You’re going to stay still?”

“huh.”

No, for that to be the case, all the things you have done to the Grand Duke up until now… Hongran blinked her large eyes.

“The Archduke has a bad temper, but he is a careful man. He is not a moth that jumps in in a fit of anger, but a man who lights a fire and waits quietly.”

“then…….”

“He must be really angry because of me. However, I have seen the power of the Chilsogung with my own eyes. Moreover, Chilmuwi has not even come forward. He knows that he is not an opponent to be taken lightly. So, he will try to find out more about us first. What I am saying is that he will not come forward first until he has someone who can grab his leash.”

Hongran nodded with bright eyes as if she was being taught by her teacher.

“Besides, Chilsogung is no longer the abandoned palace that was once ignored like a stone on the roadside. People will come to visit after hearing rumors. That means there will be more eyes watching. He will probably be even more careful. If he were to be counterattacked in front of everyone, his position would be greatly shaken.”

Perfect reasoning. Hongran clapped her hands without realizing it.

Of course, it wasn’t that there was nothing uncomfortable. On the way back, I felt a strange gaze. I’m not sure exactly, but it was different from the usual gaze. It was persistent, and almost like an interrogation.

‘And the moment I looked, it disappeared.’

I’m saying that he’s not the type of guy who usually has a sense of humor.

“Then can we just leave it like this?”

“No, that can’t be. Even if the Archduke doesn’t move, he’ll be watching us with his eyes wide open. That in itself is tiring. We need to look away.”

“then…….”

“The way to take your eyes off the fire is simple. Just make it bigger.”

“Oh, fire?”

“All the major shareholders I have had a relationship with so far. Hand them all over to the Three Princesses.”

“… … !”

Hongran’s eyes widened. She looked at Jang Yiseo, who was smiling menacingly, and muttered to herself.

it’s crazy.

Of all the people I’ve met so far, there were only twelve who had worked hard. Most of them were in charge of the outskirts and were hungry for power and money.

He had been continuously providing them with money and entertainment, and now they could not refuse even a small request as long as he gave them a little pocket money.

But I have to hand them all over.

“Anyway, the three princesses won’t be able to use the money they took from me last time. They want to increase their power, but it won’t be easy. They’re people who can’t give up even if they break down, whether it’s Narak or that woman.”

So I like it more though.

“So, sooner or later, make a place for the three princesses and the grand lords. The grand duke will notice it, so don’t worry about it.”

“yes.”

Jang Yiseo chuckled. Then he drank the full glass in one gulp and stood up.

Hongran then stood up and took a respectful stance.

“I’m going to go.”

“I’m going to visit the Bulmun-gaek-jan. I’ve been having a grudge against someone recently. I was wondering which one to start with, but I think it’s easier to repay the favor first. That way, I can calm down and kill my enemies.”

Grace is Doksan-gak. And the enemy is Jo Yang-ak, who sent assassins to me.

Now, we will start by looking for the main enemy of Doksan-gak, Gwang-ui.

“Oh, by the way, while I’m out, take care of a few things. It won’t be difficult.”

Hongran nodded slightly. She didn’t understand. She had given up on understanding. She just…

“I hope you are safe.”

I just hope and hope that you return safely.
