#The test of the heavenly horse?

Meanwhile, in the empty Biryongdang, two people who still had lingering feelings were keeping their seats.

The three princesses are Sa Hae-ryeong and the two princes are Mu-han-seong.

“Third. Did you see it?”

“… … What.”

“I really like the assistant leader. No, the vice-chairman… … Ugh!”

Sahae-ryeong stepped on Muhanseong’s instep and turned around. Crazy bastard. Is that what you call talking?

But there was something I was grateful to him for. Thanks to him, I came to my senses.

‘Jang-seo. Now there are too many reasons for me to catch you. Your ability, your position. And… … .’

Thump, thump.

Suddenly, I looked down and my heart started pounding.

It was still spring.

* * *

Jang Yi-seo and his party arrived at Cheonmajeon without realizing it. The attack they had been worried about did not occur.

If I think about the people I came with, I’ll probably turn back even if I do come.

“Meet the Lion of Light!”

At the entrance, the left and right guards greeted us at the same time.

“Those who are not permitted.”

“Just go back.”

Even the elders and the head of the clan could not enter beyond this without permission.

In the end, those who had accompanied us said goodbye with regret.

“Take care on your way back. Never be stubborn toward the Most High.”

“Yes, brother.”

After the devil’s greeting, the door to Cheonma Hall opened.

Zhang Li, Mao, and Qi Wuwei entered together.

But their companionship ends here.

“Your Majesty, please follow me.”

The left and right guides stood at different intersections as if they were guides.

“No, sir, just a moment! There is a market in Manma Bunchong… … .”

“There is no reason to do that anymore.”

The indifferent and unparalleled force of the left wing fell. If we interpret it, it means that Jang Yi-seo is no longer your assistant.

“Jang I-seo… … .”

Mao lowered his head. He seemed shocked. Why wouldn’t he be? He was the guy who kept telling me to be both an assistant and a vice-chairman.

He took a shallow breath and opened his mouth to try to soothe her.

“Sir, it’s nothing. For now, go ahead and practice. Then, when I’m done… … .”

“What is it that is not true!”

Mao raised his head. What’s wrong with this kid?

“I know everything too?!”

“Your Majesty… …?”

This kid, are you crying?

“On the way here… … I was just trying to make a fuss, kid. Am I stupid? If you’re the vice-chairman, you can’t be an assistant.”

“no…….”

It’s obvious, but… … Honestly, I thought you really didn’t know.

“Wow, sir. This is hard! What the hell are you? Is it this hard to send one of you away?”

Mao said, wrinkling his nose and looking at the ceiling.

“Hey, Jang-seo. You said you’d make me a cult leader.”

That’s treason. Not the leader, but the sub-leader.

“No matter where you are, don’t forget that promise. Got it?”

Mao turned his back and continued speaking in a voice that sounded like his throat was choked up.

“Vice-Chief Hae. I’ll send you. You deserve it.”

Jang Yiseo swallowed hard. Was this guy this big? He even knew how to send someone away when he didn’t like them.

How many worries must have been there for you. Thinking about how you must have suffered alone made me laugh for no reason. I also felt a sense of the times.

“Since the day I first met you, you’ve been singing about wanting to rise above the rest. Like a power-mad man.”

Hey, that’s just a roundabout way of saying things. And when did you always do that? You only did it twice! I was so shocked that I was about to refute you.

“That’s right, hyung… … . If not hyung, who else would take on such a position? It would be right to go… … .”

“Over-evaluation.”

“I always feel sorry for not being able to properly fulfill my duties. Thank you.”

“I know.”

Two people added with trembling voices. The remaining Seven Martial Arts also lowered their heads.

“you…….”

But do you really have to send me off crying like this? I can see your shoulders shaking. If someone saw you, they’d think you were going to die.

“trough.”

Jang took a shallow breath and called out to the only person who was looking at him.

And he said it so that everyone could hear.

“Go and get proper training. There’s no such thing as half-assing. I’ll check everything when I get back.”

“hmm?”

“I’ll go home first. My house. Chilsogung.”

Jang Yi-seo said with a sly smile. Then, everyone’s trembling shoulders suddenly froze like stone statues.

“Huh. Huh?!”

And Mao, who understood the meaning of the words, turned around. His face was covered in tears and snot.

“The only thing I can trust is your face, so what is that? Wash up before you go.”

“Okay, Jangseo… … . Jangseoeeeeeeeeee!”

Mao rushes in. No, Gwapyeong and Asin. And all of the Seven Martial Arts Commanders rush in.

“Huhhhhhh!”

These are dirty! These big things are crying and swarming, this is a terrible nightmare.

But strangely, I don’t feel like stopping him.

In the end, Jang-seo let out a hollow laugh and raised both hands.

And then he patted Mao’s back, who was hugging him, and said:

“Going to the Manma Shrine is not an opportunity that comes often. You never know what kind of martial arts you might gain. Be strong.”

“Are you sure you’re not going anywhere? You’re not going to be the vice-principal, are you?”

Dude. He’s just getting older. Hey, hey, hey. And can a spy be the vice-chairman?

“Yes. I will talk to the leader and then go first.”

“huh.”

The two people finished greeting each other. They stood in front of each other’s paths, smiling at each other.

The sergeant clicked his tongue with a displeased expression and guided Mao and Qiwuwei to the Manma Bunchong.

“Jang-seo! We’re meeting at Chilsogung! It’s a promise!”

Mao waved his hand and looked back as he walked away. Zhang Yi remembered that scene vividly.

And when he had completely disappeared, Usagi said.

“egg plant.”

“Thank you for your understanding.”

Although his tone was stiff, he waited silently and was considerate. Jang Yi-seo expressed his gratitude by taking the lottery ticket from behind his back.

Usagi stopped dead in his tracks, glanced around, and then started walking again.

“You don’t have to thank me. It was the leader who gave me the time.”

I see. Well, I guess I can’t avoid his aura while I’m inside Cheonmajeon.

It must have been because Cheonma tacitly approved that the Right and Left Squads gave them their time. But they were grateful.

“Thank you anyway.”

When Jang I-seo greeted him again, Woo-sa stopped walking again and frowned.

Then, taking a shallow breath, he said something he normally wouldn’t have asked.

“Are you not going to follow the leader’s orders?”

That’s an unexpected intervention. It must be because Jang-seo likes it that much.

“Yes. It’s too big a seat for me to sit in.”

Jang-i-seo revealed his intentions honestly. Woo-sa walked silently for a while, and when they were almost there, he spoke again.

“The Supreme Being does not test just anyone. He gives opportunities only to those who show potential. Also, a position is not something that ends with rejection. So think wisely and make a decision.”

Jang Yiseo’s eyes narrowed. Then he stopped and looked at him. Hana Usa glanced to the side as if she had nothing more to say.

It was a room.

The room of Cheonma is blocked by a large stone gate with all kinds of ornate patterns engraved on it.

“I wish you good luck.”

Squeak!

The stone gate opens, and a path between the braziers unfolds before your eyes.

And at the end of it… … .

“Are you here?”

Cheonma Jinwookwang.

He was there.

*

Creak, thud!

As Jang Yiseo entered the room, the thick stone door closed.

No one had touched it, and yet it opened, and this time it closed.

The principle didn’t matter.

The only thing that matters is whether or not the Heavenly Demon has given permission.

“Come.”

At Cheonma’s command, Jang Yi-seo took a step forward.

Even though it was not a very long distance, the time it took to get to Taesa felt very long.

The two braziers placed every five steps seemed to burn especially brightly, and the path between them was like a tightrope walk on a cliff.

And after twelve steps,

‘what……?’

For the first time, Jang felt something was wrong.

As time went on, my feet became heavier and cold sweat poured down my forehead. It wasn’t just psychological pressure.

Jin Woo-gwang, the Heavenly Horse who sat on the throne of the Grand Master.

The magic that spread out from him like a shadow was weighing down my body.

‘Why on earth?’

You told me to come, but you blocked my way. What kind of strange thing is this?

As I looked at him with confusion, a vicious murderous intent poured out from his smiling eyes.

‘Huh… …?!’

My body started to stagger along with my pounding heart. I quickly lowered my head and trembled.

‘Not human. It’s God.’

Could this be the life force of a snake that has starved for a thousand years? It was even more brutal and vicious than the dragon that lived in the abyss of Kunlun Mountain.

I feel like I’m being eaten just by looking at it.

Jang Yi-seo had a gut feeling at that moment.

‘You’re testing me.’

I don’t know why, but it felt like they were trying to test my qualifications.

As if he would only engage in conversation if he reached the front.

‘Let’s calm down.’

I slowly took a deep breath. Then I turned my head back towards Cheonma.

Thud! I feel a strong pressure as if my heart is being crushed.

But the more Jang Yi-seo thought about it, the more determined he became.

Woohoo!

Then, a faint green energy like that of a blue field rose from my chest.

The power of the Namcheonneungga-gyeong Simgung!

This is something that only shines when you face your opponent and try to overcome him.

After a while, the sweat that had been flowing disappeared, and Jang Seo’s shaking legs resumed walking.

And the Heavenly Horse who saw this… … .

‘Is this your innate will to go against the flow? Your will to come to me, the executioner.’

I was truly touched.

I wasn’t seeing things wrong. Jang had clearly broken through his limitations and become stronger.

Aren’t you still walking on, having overcome the will to live? The will to live that even the elders and the Grand Duke could not overcome?

Although I didn’t show it, I felt a shiver run through my whole body.

The limitations were clear and I had turned a blind eye to them, but now I had to admit it.

‘You are the child who resembles me the most.’

That he resembled himself more than any other child. That he was born with a true destiny to go against the flow.

Those were the days I lived standing on the top of a cliff and indifferently looking down on those hanging from the cliff.

I didn’t think or even expect anyone to be able to reach my position.

But I never thought there would be such a shining being.

For the first time in my life, I even thought, “This is what family love is like.” Of course, it was as fine as dust.

So I made a pledge again.

‘You are not a child who should be next to Dokma. You are a child who should be next to me. I will raise you up.’

Jang Yi-seo thought it was a grand test, but in fact, Jin Woo-kwang was half and half.

Half wanting to see how far he could go. Half wanting to tease the priest.

But now that I look back, I think I did a good job. No, I feel like I want to do it properly.

‘Show me your will to come to me.’

If Jang Seo had known, he would have been horrified, but that didn’t matter.

Cheonma had a plan, and it worked out.

Hwaaaaah!

The braziers that had been burning brightly began to go out one by one, as if a ghost had passed by.

And when I reached the market place at the crossroads.

“Cough!”

He fell to his knees, coughing up blood. Jang Yiseo’s pupils shook as if there was an earthquake.

‘Oh, crazy… … .’
