When Dang Mu-jin readily agreed, Hwayeon Shin-ni, as if she had expected this, gave Dang Mu-jin a role.

“I will take charge of this work and support Nanhyang. You will manage Ilnam. Women will be women, and men will be men. Do you understand?”

“All right.”

Dang Mu-jin nodded. And then he immediately felt lost. He had no idea what to do or how to do it.

In the end, Dang Mu-jin called out to Hwa Yeon-shin-ni, who was about to leave.

“Elder.”

“huh?”

“Now that I think about it, things have gotten a little tricky.”

“What’s the problem?”

Dang Mu-jin scratched his head awkwardly.

“People think I’m good at dealing with women because I’ve caught two of them. But the truth is, I’m not that good at romance.”

Hwa Yeon-shin actively agreed with Dang Mu-jin’s opinion, and made an expression that said, ‘But you know the topic.’

But Dang Mu-jin’s story is not over yet.

“All I have to offer is my natural charm, looks, and manly behavior. I’m the type of person who naturally attracts women, so I’ve never thought about intentionally capturing the opposite sex. I’ve never felt the need to. It’s not much different from a fish not learning how to swim.”

“···.”

“There’s a saying that not all experts are good teachers.”

A fierce murderous desire rose up in Hwayeonshinni’s heart.

However, Hwa Yeon-shin took a deep breath and controlled her emotions. It was impossible to ruin something before it even started.

Instead, Hwa Yeon-shin pressed her throbbing temples and waved her hand toward Dang Mu-jin.

“Mujin-ah. I was wrong. You just go and call Hyun-gong. I’m sure he’ll be of help.”

When Dang Mu-jin heard that story, he was horrified.

“That won’t work.”

“why?”

“Hyun-gong lost his lover not long ago. How dare you discuss relationships with him? You really don’t know the human mind.”

As Dang Mu-jin spoke, he looked at Hwa Yeon-shin-ni with a slightly pitiful expression.

It was only then that Hwayeonshinni realized that Seolhwa was nowhere to be seen.

Of course, Hwayeonshinni didn’t know the whole story. But because of that, Hwayeonshinni lost the initiative.

“That… no, that’s okay. Let’s just pretend that the Hyun-gong story never happened. Forget about the idea of ​​each person taking charge of one person.”

“Then how should we distribute roles?”

“There’s no need for us to split up and do the work. I’ll take care of the important stuff, so you just faithfully play the role of my assistant.”

“All right.”

Dang Mu-jin readily answered, but in reality, Dang Mu-jin did not trust Hwayeon Shin-ni either.

Although it is true that Hwa Yeon-shin-ni has a lot of indirect experience, wasn’t her own experience in love only once? In addition, unlike Dang Mu-jin, Hwa Yeon-shin-ni has never been married.

That’s why Dang Mu-jin became a little arrogant.

“I guess I’ll have to listen to the story first. How do you assess the current situation, Elder Hwayeonshinni?”

“Nanhyang is clearly interested in Ilnam. However, Ilnam’s feelings are not known exactly. If we have to be specific, it seems closer to not harboring feelings for him.”

“Elder Wijinanhyang… No. Lady Wiji… Are you sure about your feelings?”

Dang Mu-jin had not yet decided on a clear name for Wi Jin-nan-hyang.

Elder was forbidden, and the expression ‘big sister’ was a good way to get slapped if used to refer to an unmarried woman.

The only titles that can be used are Sojo or Nanhyang.

Of the two, Lady Wiji was the least burdensome.

Hwayeonshinni answered Dangmujin’s question confidently.

“That’s for sure. How can a woman wipe away the tears of a man she doesn’t love?”

“Hmm. I understand. So what should I do now?”

Hwayeonshinni thought for a moment, then answered clearly.

“A relationship between a man and a woman begins with each person revealing their charms to the other person, whether intentional or not.”

“That’s true.”

“Yes. Nanhyang’s charm is certain. If I were to add more, it would feel excessive. But the problem is Ilnam. In my opinion, Ilnam needs to show himself a little more actively. So that Nanhyang can actively rush in.”

“Could you please get me some nice clothes?”

Hwayeonshinni shook her head.

“No. It’s the opposite. Ilnam has put down his sword, but doesn’t he still often practice with a wooden sword?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“When Ilnam practices, you should subtly hint at him or create a situation so that Ilnam takes off his top and practices. If he doesn’t take off his top, you should at least get him to unbutton his front. This is the most important task given to you.”

“···yes?”

Dang Mu-jin looked at Hwa Yeon-shin-ni with eyes filled with suspicion.

Could it be that Hwayeonshinni is trying to satisfy her selfish desires?

But there was no such expression in Hwa Yeon-shin-ni’s eyes.

“The most certain way to show off a man’s charm is to show off his solid muscles. If it’s the shoulder muscles and the muscles that lead to his lower back that have been built up from swinging a sword for a long time, it’s even better. Il-nam must have trained for a long time, so he’ll definitely be able to show off his cool appearance.”

“···Hmm. Is that so?”

“It’s even better if you sweat a little and your muscles shine. It makes you look much more dynamic and manly.”

“When you sweat, doesn’t it stink? It can also make you feel a little dirty…”

Hwayeonshinni answered Dangmujin’s objection firmly.

“No. I think it’s okay up to a moderate level. If it’s not excessive, it can actually be a positive factor.”

Dang Mu-jin became a little suspicious of Hwa Yeon-shin-ni. This was because he felt that Hwa Yeon-shin-ni’s tastes had changed significantly from before.

‘Muscle. I think I know why you chose the elder Sam-an-bul···.’

And then suddenly, a thought crossed Dang Mu-jin’s mind.

How on earth did Hwayeonshinni become a pair with Samanbul?

The party decided to immediately resolve the issue.

“Elder.”

“why?”

“Can you tell me how you and the elder Samanbul came to have a ‘close relationship’?”

Hwayeonshinni looked a little nervous, then continued her story hesitantly.

“That… what kind of celebration was it? I think it was your father’s birthday.”

“Ahem.”

“Samanbul was really drunk that day. He couldn’t control his body and kept staggering, so I decided to support him and take him home.”

It was extremely suspicious from the beginning of the story.

First of all, as expected from someone who was once a monk, Sam-an-bul did not drink much alcohol.

However, since I am not a light drinker, even when I occasionally drink alcohol, I don’t get drunk unless I drink a considerable amount.

What on earth happened that made Sam-an-bul so drunk that he couldn’t control his body?

‘···Did you force feed it to me?’

Reasonable doubt.

Furthermore, the story that Hwayeonshinni supported the Samanbul alone was also suspicious.

The difference in physique between the two people was very large. It was impossible for the others to leave Hwa Yeon-shin-ni alone to support the Sam-an-bul.

Dang Mu-jin thought of a hunter dragging his prey down the mountain after it had stepped on a trap.

Hwa Yeon-shin-ni continued her story slowly, unable to read Dang Mu-jin’s true feelings.

“Coincidentally, that day happened to be the day when Ilnam was out of the house.”

“okay.”

As far as Dang Mu-jin knew, Jang Il-nam was a person who rarely left home.

A person whose life consists of taking care of children all day, practicing a bit while swinging a wooden sword, and then returning home to sleep.

The probability that Jang Il-nam would have left home voluntarily was not high.

It was more likely that he would have been kicked out of his home, or that he would have been unable to enter the house.

“Samanbul got drunk and started telling old stories. He must have let down the wall in his heart while drunk. I guessed that it was an unusual thing to do, so I listened to his story for a long time. After listening to his story for a long time, Samanbul suddenly opened up his heart.”

“You must have been very surprised.”

This part wasn’t completely impossible.

But the problem was that I had lost too much trust in the first part of the story. Now, whatever Hwa Yeon-shin-ni said sounded like a lie.

“I was greatly embarrassed, but in the end, I decided to accept the mind of the Three-Eyed Buddha. Coincidentally, the Three-Eyed Buddha and I had a lot in common. Our lives were not smooth, I once devoted myself to Buddhism, and eventually turned my back on Buddhism… I thought that such a life was rare, and that if not for me, there would be no one in the world who could understand the mind of the Three-Eyed Buddha.”

After thinking about it calmly, I realized that this was most likely a description of the positions of Sam-an-bul and Hwayeon-shin-ni being reversed.

As Dang Mu-jin nodded without showing his reaction, Hwa Yeon-shin-ni finished her story.

“After staying up all night talking like that, we realized that we had become a little closer to each other.”

Hwayeonshinni’s ears turned slightly red. Dangmujin thought that the timing of Hwayeonshinni’s ears turning red was very suspicious. Was it right that they only talked?

Instead of questioning him and revealing his suspicions, Dang Mu-jin accepted his story.

“Thanks to a stroke of luck, you two have someone you can rely on.”

“Yes. I hope Ilnam and Nanhyang can rely on each other. So, you help them.”

“All right.”

The moment he answered, Dang Mu-jin instinctively realized.

No matter what the process was, the situation would end with Jang Il-nam getting drunk.

*

The next day, Dang Mu-jin and Hwa Yeon-shin-ni secretly hid and watched Jang Il-nam and Wi Ji-nan-hyang’s movements.

The first step to doing anything is to thoroughly understand the target.

However, there was hardly any contact between the two people.

Around lunchtime, Jang Il-nam started wearing neat and tidy clothes instead of his usual comfortable clothes.

Dang Mu-jin whispered.

“It seems like you’re thinking of going out somewhere.”

“It seems so to me. Are you trying to enjoy a secret meeting with Wi Jinan-hyang?”

Of course that wasn’t the case.

Jang Il-nam was walking around the annex and appeared with Dang Mu-jin’s three daughters: Dang Yeong, Dang I-ryeong, and Dang Hae-won.

First, Dang-yeong is already six years old this year, and Dang-i-ryeong and Dang-hae-won are three years old. They are at the age when they can walk well.

Jang Il-nam left the Danggajang with his three children and began walking, searching through the surrounding alleys. Dang Mu-jin, who had been watching them for half an hour, yawned.

“It looks like he just came out for a walk.”

“Don’t break my concentration. Wait a minute. It looks like you’re trying to do something.”

Jang Il-nam began to quietly look around. Then he took out a small pouch from his bosom and took out a silver coin.

Jang Il-nam moved slowly, approached a nearby merchant, and bought a lot of sweet candy.

And holding the children’s hands, they moved like the wind and hid in a deserted alley.

Dang Mu-jin said.

“Seol-yeong used to grumble that kids don’t eat well these days… So that’s why.”

Dang Mu-jin unintentionally discovered one of the Dang family’s hidden secrets.

Then, Hwayeonshinni, who was watching Jang Ilnam and the children from the side, asked Dangmujin.

“But isn’t that your role, not Ilnam’s?”

“···I always feel sorry towards the children.”

“Just in words?”

While Jang Il-nam watched with a pleased expression, the three children quickly finished the candy.

Jang Il-nam walked around the streets until the children had digested the candy, and then headed to the candy store.

“There are some minor deviations, but… it’s healthy.”

However, it was not the case that there was no information at all.

Hwayeonshinni made a displeased expression.

“There are more women who flirt with Ilnam than I thought.”

“I was a little surprised too.”

There were quite a few women who would talk to me in a subtle way, come close enough to be uncomfortable, or even try to give me a small snack. There were quite a few of them, including older women and young women who looked to be in their twenties.

“I told you, if a man is handsome and capable, age doesn’t really matter. In fact, there are quite a few women who are attracted to men of that age who they can rely on.”

“But, it seemed like Elder Il-nam didn’t even know that it was flirting. Could it be that he didn’t notice when Lady Nan-hyang showed her feelings because he was too tactless?”

Hwayeonshinni stared at Dangmujin intently and then answered.

“Don’t worry, I know how to deal with that.”

“All right.”

Not long after Jang Il-nam returned to Danggajang, Wi Jinan-hyang also left the Danggajang gate.

Her clothes were the same as her everyday clothes, and of course she didn’t wear any makeup.

However, a completely different scene unfolded for Jang Il-nam.

Wi Jinan-hyang walked down the street with a cheerful and confident attitude.

However, unlike Jang Il-nam, who naturally blended in with the crowd, Wi Ji-nan-hyang was unable to blend in with the crowd.

There is one reason. Wi Jinan-hyang had an aura and appearance that overwhelmingly attracted the attention of those around her.

Most people in the streets didn’t know who Wi Jinan Xiang was. Most people didn’t even know that he was a martial artist.

However, people were reluctant to approach the area surrounding Wei Zhennanxiang. This was the case even for men.

Every man instinctively realized that this man was no ordinary man, and that he could not mix with ordinary people.

Wi Jinan-hyang also seemed not to find such people’s reactions strange.

Dang Mu-jin muttered softly.

“···It won’t be easy. These two are such opposites.”

“It’s more meaningful because it’s difficult. Just trust in me.”

“But where is Lady Nanhyang going?”

Wi Jinanxiang cautiously looked around, then quietly entered a dark, deserted alley. It was a dark alley where hardly any sunlight could penetrate, even though it was broad daylight.

But at that moment, something dark and huge moved in the darkness.

‘what?’

Dang Mu-jin opened his eyes wide and looked at the place.

And I quickly realized what the dark thing was. It was the Three-Eyed Buddha.

Sam-an-bul and Wi-jin-nan-hyang looked at each other and nodded friendly, then quickly disappeared somewhere.

“I···.”

Dang Mu-jin looked to the side.

And then I discovered the eyes of Hwa Yeon Shin Ni that were burning like hellfire.
