#Are you curious?

The next day.

Man-kwang’s worries became reality.

“Is this all?”

“that is…….”

As Jang Yi-seo entered the court, only the three people holding the flag were standing there with a look of reluctance on their faces.

The flag read:

Great Demon Zen Master Jiseung.

The daughter of Heavenly Longevity, Seong So-gyeong.

Lee Ji-san, a maniac who is not afraid of fighting.

They were all the leaders of Dotapsa, Gwangcheonru, and Hangwoobang, representing the Cheonghae branch.

of course!

‘Just by looking at their shabby appearance and disheveled behavior, you can tell they’re not real… … .’

Is this a proxy? A smile naturally spread across my lips. This is a story of someone who has decided to try it out.

“Greetings. The teacher is busy with some business, so I have come in his place.”

“Hello. Rouge said the sun was too strong today. Her skin is a bit weak.”

“Hang Woo-bang, come.”

The three people took turns greeting each other.

Horse statue, rat statue, dog statue.

Animal statues that are hard to find anywhere else were found in abundance.

When I glanced to the side, Man-kwang put his hand on his forehead and lowered his head.

Even I thought about it and was ashamed of the poor technique.

But it was all expected.

‘Those humans wouldn’t come easily.’

This was a common battle of wits. Although they were inspectors in rank, they were veterans who had been through a lot in Cheonghae.

They were not the type of people who would easily respond to a call.

Even if you went there in person, there was a high chance that they would make up all sorts of excuses and treat you coldly.

Besides, the matter of selecting a branch manager is currently at stake.

No matter who was chosen, they would not acknowledge it, and they would not even allow intervention.

How long? Until Jang-seo collapses from exhaustion.

This is literally taming a superior in a greenhouse.

But… … .

“If you’re busy, there’s nothing you can do.”

Jang Yi-seo was indifferent, not knowing whether he knew or not. The three people who came in his place were… … .

‘The little fool is here!’

He nodded vigorously, swallowing a laugh inside.

‘저런 개새끼들.’

The only thing that makes me frown is Man-kwang.

“Anyway, can we consider the three people listed there as the executives?”

“Yes, our will is their will.”

The man on the horse answered with his hands clasped together.

“Really? Then that’s good.”

Look at that guy’s speech. He’s so young and green, he’s acting like an inspector and talking big.

“The reason I called you today is simple.”

It’s obvious. The matter of selecting a branch manager. The three people furrowed their eyebrows with disapproving eyes.

Whatever you say, I’ll just let it go in one ear and send it to the gutter.

But they too, and Man-kwang too.

I didn’t know Jang Il-seo at all. He smiled and said this.

“Dotapsa Temple, Gwangcheonru, and Hangwoobang. Starting today, I would like to expel these three places from the Cheonghae branch. Are there any objections? If so, speak now.”

“yes?”

A bolt from the blue has fallen! An expulsion! If I didn’t hear it wrong, it means that you will be expelled from the Demonic Cult as of today.

“Gah, I suddenly don’t understand what you’re saying… … ?”

The horseman was so flustered that he even stammered.

“What I don’t understand is your circumstances.”

“But if you say something like that all of a sudden… … .”

“Five counts. One.”

“100 million!”

My breath caught in my throat and beads of sweat formed.

What on earth are you protesting against? They are just ignorant fools.

The horse, the rat, and the dog looked at each other and radiated confusion.

This is all they knew.

Being expelled from the Cheonghae branch means losing your membership.

And the Cheonmasingyo religion never spares those who leave, regardless of the reason!

therefore…….

‘Aren’t you telling us to all die!’

The faces of the three people turned pale and thoughtful.

“Now, please wait a moment! This doesn’t seem like something we can do!”

The horse is appealing.

“two.”

“I’ll go back and ask Rouge!”

The rat statue bows deeply.

“three.”

“Please! Just a little more time… … !”

The dog is lying down.

Hana Jang has no mercy for such things. He blurted out with cold eyes.

“four.”

“Right now. I’ll bring you right now!”

Paaat! Then the three of them threw down their flags and ran away without looking back.

Man-gwang watched this with his mouth wide open, and Jang-i-seo turned around, snorting.

“They said they’re coming.”

“No, that’s… … yes… … . That’s right.”

Man-kwang nodded with a blank expression. And then he thought.

Maybe this guy really has the potential to be a hit.

*

Jang-i-seo headed towards the room in the inner quarters with great pomp.

Knock knock!

Then he walked around as if it were his own home, sat down in front of the table and spoke.

“Man-kwang. Can you bring me some tea?”

“Yes? Yes.”

Man-kwang, who followed behind, looked around and quickly went out.

Jang Yi-seo rested his chin on his hand and closed his eyes, as if lost in thought for a moment. Then, an irritated voice flowed in from beside him.

“What are you doing right now?!”

A sick tiger lying on a bed. Long live the swordsman Paegeummunju.

Jang-i-seo glanced at me with squinted eyes, then closed his eyes again and said.

“You can’t tell by looking at it. It’s not resting.”

“Why are you doing that in my room!”

“I’m an inspector by name, so I can’t stay in the guest room. There are a lot of eyes watching me.”

What kind of kid is this? When Manseok looked at him in disbelief, Jang Yiseo frowned and said.

“I woke up from a deep sleep.”

“Is that the kind of thing you say in front of a patient who is about to die?”

Manseok shouted. Jang Yiseo slowly opened his eyes and looked intently as he spoke.

“Unlike yesterday, your clothes are neat and tidy.”

“… … !”

“The window that was locked is now open.”

“Wh, what?!”

“I see you’re sitting on the hastily made mat, so I guess you were eavesdropping.”

“You crazy bastard. This is truly outrageous! You say I overheard you? Am I the one who is cheering?! Hahahahahaha!”

No? When I asked with my eyes, Manseok answered with a smile on his face.

“That ghostly guy.”

Yeah. I overheard. If you’re not curious, how can you be human? You’re causing a ruckus in the front yard in broad daylight.

“If you overheard, you would know. Let’s stay here for a while until the executives arrive.”

“Do you know when the executives will come? It takes four hours (8 hours) to walk from here to Cheonghae Lake where Gwangcheonru is located. Well, what does someone who has been stuck in Cheonsan know and talk about?”

When Manseok tried to turn his head away with a laugh, Jang Yiseo answered with a laugh instead.

“It won’t take long. They’ll all be gathered nearby anyway.”

“… … !”

What is this?

“The three of them hit it off in one day. At first glance, you might think they get along well, but it’s actually the opposite.”

“what?”

“Rather, I don’t trust them. I’m afraid someone might betray me and join me. After all, it’s a matter of the branch manager position. That’s why they’re all gathered nearby. They keep each other in check.”

“Hahahaha! Are you just imagining things while stuck in Cheonsan? Did you really think the Cheonghae branch would be that easy…?”

“I heard from the government officials before coming that three people entered Seonyeong together at dawn.”

“These crazy guys!”

The roar of cheers erupted. What kind of pride is that for a position as branch manager… … !

No, what was more shocking was that the government troops didn’t say anything to me.

I heard that everyone was going to die, so I decided to treat them coldly.

‘Wow, his fate in his later years is really strange. More than that, this guy is not only gutsy, but also very smart.’

The more I got to know him, the more bizarre he became. I couldn’t understand him anymore. I spoke frankly.

“Let’s say they are here, as you said. But what on earth were you thinking when you committed such a provocation?”

“The provocation was done by those who used shallow tricks.”

“You say you’re expelled from the Cheonghae branch. Do you think they’ll leave you alone after hearing that? No way! They’ll come at you without even looking. Don’t you think so? If you think so, you’re making a fool of Cheonghae.”

In short, it’s a story about a smart guy who did something without thinking about the consequences.

But… … .

“You have to have that much spirit.”

“What is that… … !”

“Are you curious?”

Jang Yiseo asks with a big smile. Manseok frowns at his unnecessary pride and answers.

“What else can I do when my fate is already dying? I’ve already stepped down as branch manager. Whether I die or not, it’s up to me… .”

“I didn’t come here because of the Cheonghae branch.”

“What does that mean?”

“Are you curious?”

Oh. Manseok realized his mistake too late and turned his face away with a blush.

Jang continued with a sly smile.

“I came to stop the conspiracy that is unfolding in Cheonghae.”

Conspiracy?! Manseokgeuk’s eyes widened.

“And we are looking for people to stop it together.”

“Ugh… … !”

“Maybe everyone here will die. They are that dangerous.”

“That can’t happen as long as there is a Cheonghae branch!”

“Even if it’s a blood relationship?”

Jang Yiseo smiled brightly again. On the other hand, Manseok was dizzy from the bold story. Blood sect.

“Are you asking me to… believe those words?”

“Believe it or not, it’s true.”

It was a truly shocking story. Manseok thought about it for a while and then asked.

“Is it perhaps related to the Nengga Sutra?”

As expected, the branch manager wasn’t chosen lightly. Jang-seo answered with the corners of his lips curled up.

“There are already countless people in Cheonghae. In other words, all of them could become sacrificial lambs.”

“… … !”

Manseok opened his eyes and mouth wide. If this is true, it is a crisis not only in Cheonghae but also in the Central Plains.

“… …What is the reason you are telling me this now?”

“I already told you. I’m looking for someone to block it with.”

“That crazy guy. He’s trying to get rid of an old man who’s dying.”

“Do your best and leave the rest to fate. If you really want to help Cheonghae, wouldn’t it be right to do your best while you still have life? If not, then I’ve made a mistake.”

“What can I do with a body like this?”

“It’s not for you to decide. It’s for me to decide what I need.”

“… … !”

Manseok was speechless. Then the door opened with a creak and Mankwang came in, shouting urgently.

“Man! The executives are coming!”

“egg plant.”

Jang I-seo smiles and goes out.

And Manseok, left alone, repeated his last words with a blank expression.

‘It’s not for you to decide. It’s for me to decide what I need.’

Could it be a coincidence?

I clearly remember hearing the same thing decades ago.

The day when the Black Swordsman horde invaded Seonyeong and turned the village into a wasteland.

‘Do you want to protect it?’

That day, when I lost my family and shed tears of blood and anger due to injustice.

‘Then go and fight.’

He appeared and said.

‘How can we, mere third-rate people, deal with them!’

‘That’s not for you to decide. It’s for me to decide.’

And on that day, Manseokgeuk and the cadres fought fiercely to protect Seonyeong and were reborn.

“Oh my God… … .”

Cheonma Jinwookwang.

That’s why.

“Who the hell are you… … !”

It was a day when Manseok’s sorrow deepened even more.
