92. Run, Rabbit (3)

“What is all this?”

“yes?”

Mukhwiyoung looked at Cheongyi with innocent eyes, as if he knew nothing.

“I mean the people out there.”

“Ah. They are blacksmiths, lumberjacks, and herbalists. They are not people you find on the streets, but people who are treated as craftsmen.”

“Even if the food last time was unavoidable, I think this is a bit excessive.”

Cheong-ui said sternly. He had let it go when it was time for food, but he felt he couldn’t let it go this time.

If this had passed without a word, Mukhwiyoung could have turned the once quiet Mudangpa into the bottom of the market in an instant.

“Yes. Of course, it is a good thing that we invited the craftsmen who sharpen our swords and repair our uniforms. However, if we had received permission to act, wouldn’t the hierarchy of the shamanist faction be straightened out?”

Cheong-ui-do knew why Mukhwi-yeong had brought those people. It was to show the shamans the sweet taste of change.

I wondered when he had prepared something like this, and I thought he was really cunning, but this time he seemed a bit hasty. I could understand it once, but as a long-suffering person, I couldn’t tolerate acting rashly twice.

Apart from that, Cheong-ui also found Muk-hwi-yeong a bit cute. Muk-hwi-yeong, who always moved without showing any openings, was giving her something to nitpick about like this.

“If you knew, bring those people back… … .”

“Permission has been granted.”

Cheong-ui and Mukhwi-yeong’s words overlapped. Cheong-ui was at a loss for words for a moment.

“what?”

“I gave my permission. Long sentence execution.”

At that moment, someone’s voice was heard from behind. Cheong-ui turned around and saw his priest, Gokjeongakju Cheong-su, there.

“Isn’t the Gokjeongak originally in charge of merchants entering and leaving the sect?”

“Ugh.”

The moment he sighed, Cheong-ui saw a sly smile cross the corner of Mukhwi-yeong’s mouth.

“Still, this is… … .”

“There is no problem with the rules. Jang Moon-sa-hyeong. Hwi-yeong reported to me and I gave him permission. I didn’t even bring him into the sect, and he said he wanted to settle down outside the sect, so I couldn’t refuse permission.”

There was no way Cheong-ui didn’t know about it. If he had reported it to Cheong-su, there would have been no procedural problem. Jang-mun-in didn’t supervise all the outsiders who entered the Mu-dang-pa right away. He was just surprised at how Muk-hwi-yeong had boiled Cheong-su.

“What on earth did Whiyoung promise you that made you give permission?”

“There’s nothing like that. Although Whiyoung recruited the craftsmen and reported on them, I was the one who planned it.”

Cheong-ui was shocked by those words. Then it was Cheong-su, not Muk-hwi-yeong, who created this situation.

“… …Why?”

“Why?”

Cheongsu’s tone of voice was unexpectedly filled with passion.

“Think about it, Death Penalty. I am the head of the Gokjeon-gook family in charge of the finances of the former Mudangpa. I have no choice but to talk and interact with the finance officers of other sects and families.”

“Yes, yes.”

Meanwhile, Muk Hwi-yeong was making a mean remark from the side. His tone of voice made me clench my fists without realizing it.

“Every time I listened to the stories of other financial managers, I thought to myself, if only we could provide that level of support, our students would be able to grow much faster.”

“The right path is difficult.”

“Your Majesty, you have heard from your private tutors and tutors that money is a pervert thing, so that is why you say that. That is why you think that spending money is not right. Money is not a pervert thing. People are a pervert thing.”

“Right!”

“You be quiet.”

“yes.”

In the middle, Mukhwiyoung got excited and tried to intervene, but was immediately crushed by Cheongsu’s suppression.

“Unlike the other brothers, I am not very talented in martial arts, so I am in charge of Gokjeongokju. Everyone looks down on Gokjeongokju. But why do I have to be looked at like that by the brothers?”

“… … I guess I didn’t pay attention to that.”

Cheong-ui was right. Gokjeongak was bound to be excluded from the shamanist faction where martial arts were the main focus. It was undeniable that he was looked down upon, as Cheong-su had said.

I thought it was just Cheongsu’s personality and I would just let it go, but he also had something like that in a corner of his heart.

“I don’t want to receive such an apology. It’s not the death penalty’s fault. The death penalty is like that, and so am I. We were taught that way. But now it’s different. Money is like a sword. Depending on who handles it, it can save or kill a person. I didn’t know that either, but I found out after sitting in the position of the head of the Gokjeon branch.”

“You’ve been thinking like that all along.”

Cheong-ui lowered his head. It was not Mukhwi-yeong who was short-sighted, but Cheong-ui himself.

The person who wanted to change the Mudangpa right now was not only Mukhwiyeong. Cheongui overlooked that fact. And it was quite predictable that the person who was most thirsty for change was Gokjeon Gakju, who had been quietly doing the dirty work up until now.

Cheong-ui looked at Muk-hwi-yeong. Muk-hwi-yeong was smiling brightly. He thought to himself, “How amazing!”

Cheongsu would never have said such things openly. So, Mukhwiyoung noticed Cheongsu’s feelings and lit a fuse. However, how could he see through people’s hearts at that age? The more I looked at him, the more I found him fascinating.

“… … Okay. Got it.”

Cheong-ui had nothing more to say. As soon as Cheong-ui gave permission, the merchants who had been watching the situation until then started to shout.

“We can repair your uniform!”

“I will sharpen your knife!”

The voices of merchants have a magical power that attracts people.

They weren’t ordinary merchants, either; they were craftsmen carefully selected by Mukhwiyeong.

The disciples also observed him closely and gave him a sword and a martial arts uniform one by one.

Certainly, sharpening swords and repairing martial arts uniforms were not easy tasks for the disciples of the shaman sect. As Mukhwiyeong said, they were only done when they had time while traveling the martial arts world. Even the prices were the lowest, so the quality could not be good.

The blacksmiths and timber merchants that Mukhwiyeong brought with him truly showed his disciples a new world.

At first, the disciples were reluctant to approach him because they felt uncomfortable with the idea of ​​interacting with merchants, but when they saw the sharpened swords and the well-tailored military uniforms, they went down to the main gate one by one, and the same was true for the distribution of the porcelain.

From the elders’ perspective, there was no reason not to sharpen the knife with a good whetstone. It was even free, as if it was some kind of service. Naturally, Mukhwiyoung paid all the costs in advance.

“Elders who agree to the cooperation between the Mudangpa and the Whiyoungdan, please raise your hands.”

in result.

There were only three elders who did not raise their hands. Even though Gokjeon-gakju Cheongsu gave a passionate speech at the end, it was surprising to Cheong-ui.

There were so many elders who thought positively about change. Of course, it was also the result of Mukhwiyeong’s numerous efforts in advance.

‘The wind of change is blowing even in shamanism.’

Cheong-ui decided to admit it.

It was a trembling thing. I was trying to change the shamanist faction, which had been as upright as bamboo, with my own hands.

Clearly, this change would not only benefit the independents, as there would certainly be forces that disliked the independents jumping into the bargain.

“From now on, the Whiyoungsangdan is the shaman’s cooperative group.”

The Qing government declared.

It was the moment when the Hwiyoungsangdan Shaman Branch was newly established.

***

In fact, the establishment of the Hwiyoungsangdan Shaman Branch was an inevitable trend. Although Cheongui had set a temporary rule, meat-eating and drinking still occurred intermittently even after it had been normalized.

The reason the elders couldn’t stop it was because when they relaxed the strict regulations, the disciples’ concentration and efficiency in training actually increased. The shaman’s disciples were not the type of people who would go astray just because the rules were relaxed once.

“My skin feels a little ticklish. Isn’t this cheap?”

Myeong-gyeong, wearing a new uniform, put her hand inside her clothes and scratched her body. Not only Myeong-gyeong, but the other disciples did the same. They all looked at me with suspicious eyes.

I was dumbfounded. In terms of the quality of the clothes, the previous uniforms and the current uniforms were three levels apart.

“It’s not that the clothes are cheap, it’s that the body is cheap.”

“what?”

The executioners’ eyebrows rose. I was just telling the truth.

It must have been a shock to wear a silk uniform made of silk after wearing a plain silk uniform.

Then I felt a dull pain in the back of my neck.

“What kind of habit do you have towards the death row inmates?”

“100 million.”

I grabbed the back of his neck and turned around. There, like the other executioners, was Cheonghwa, who looked uncomfortable in her silk clothes.

“Master.”

“These clothes look nice, but they’re awkward.”

“That’s Master’s body… … I’ll stop here.”

“You eat knights as easily as eating rice.”

“Oh, I remembered that you were cooking rice. Did the attendants and ingredients arrive?”

“Yes. It’s currently under inspection at Gokjeongak.”

Originally, the shamans cooked and ate among themselves. Even though the shamans didn’t cook anything particularly special, cooking and cleaning up took longer than expected. I tried to replace all of that with outside personnel.

Now, the disciples of the Wudangpa no longer had to cook or clean, repair buildings, or pull out overgrown branches and grass. They could just focus on practicing martial arts.

“To this extent, it is not a change, but a transformation.”

“It’s time for the independents to change too.”

“I wonder if I am committing a needless sin against the sages.”

“You will be amazed.”

I glanced at Cheonghwa. Cheonghwa’s eyes were trembling.

The shaman landscape, which has remained the same for decades, is changing rapidly, so it may feel unfamiliar.

In fact, I was hiding it too, but I was still trembling. In my previous life, the Hwiyoungsangdan tried to keep their distance from the martial arts world as much as possible.

But now, they have joined forces with the non-partisan faction and become a community of shared destiny. This change was a cataclysmic change not only for the non-partisan faction but also for me.

The reason I neglected the martial arts world in my previous life was simple. It was because there were too many variables when martial artists got involved in commerce. In reality, many of the merchants who grew up closely intertwined with martial artists ended up failing without anyone noticing.

However, the union between the Whiyoungsangdan and the Mudangpa was inevitable. I already had a deep connection with the Mudangpa, and in the process, I even fought against the Zhuge Se family. From my perspective, it was the best move.

“What are your plans now?”

“yes?”

“Since you’ve entangled the neutral and the opposition parties, you must have a plan for the next step.”

“There isn’t any?”

My answer made the tendons on Cheonghwa’s temples stand out.

“You are throwing the nonpartisan group into this whirlwind of change and you have no plan?”

“What’s the point of planning by myself? Now I have to work with the non-partisan group to make plans.”

“… … Really, I’m just a word from a stream.”

Phew. It went well. To be honest, I said it out of the blue, but it wasn’t that wrong.

“I can’t really call it a plan, but I do have a goal.”

“What is your goal?”

“The Whiyoung Group will become the best group in the world.”

“It’s the best in the world. It’ll be difficult.”

“It’s easy.”

“Easy?”

“Because the only thing that matters is making the most money. The criteria are very simple.”

“I don’t think simple and easy are the same thing.”

“It’s a simple and easy story for me.”

Cheonghwa laughed in vain. She probably thought he was bluffing.

As the martial arts world became entangled, variables arose, but there were many things that were not there in the previous life’s Hwiyoungsangdan. The existence of shamans and the power and connections of the people of the country.

In the first place, in his previous life, he had to become a second-generation idiot to create the upper class, so he was ten years ahead of his previous life.

“Just watch how fast I run.”

“okay.”

I couldn’t help but laugh at the answer that didn’t even feel like it had any hope of its own.

The nonpartisan faction would change even faster in the future. The changes now don’t seem like changes at all. But if I told you that now, you’d be surprised, so I decided to keep quiet.

I looked down at the foot of Mt. Mudang. The wind was blowing strongly from the foot of the mountain. It was a cool wind that made me want to run.
