The Party Will Not Fall - Chapter 103



Only Krnovel

Around that time, Dang Bi-hyeon and Chae Se-yeon turned their heads at the same time.

The time when the light of the sunset softly fell on Hubei.

Na-gyeol appeared in front of the finalists gathered in the wide open space in front of Daejeon, where the Murim League’s general meeting is often held.

Many participants adjusted their posture at his unexpected appearance.

Hwiiing.

There were not many people at the scene who could sense his sloppy walking technique accompanied only by a gentle breeze.

He counted the number of participants, and instead of adding, he grinned.

“From now on, we will draw the finals.”

Nagyeol looked around the empty space where all the finalists were gathered and called people by name first.

Chae Se-yeon’s name was included.

“That’s it, the bye winners. Please come forward.”

Dang Bi-hyeon looked back at Chae Se-yeon.

As if she hadn’t heard anything before, she narrowed her eyes and stepped in front of the participants.

Na-gyeol, who had lined up the bye-winners for the participants to see, shrugged his shoulders.

“These are the byes we randomly selected. Their skills are such that they can advance to the finals no matter what opponent they face, so I decided that it would be better for everyone to exclude them by default, so I chose them… .”

While Na-gyeol was speaking, Dangyeong appeared without a sound.

Like Na-gyeol, she appeared so secretly that some of the entrants did not notice at all, and the guests in the audience came running in a huff behind her.

They were carrying four barrels.

“According to the rumors, some of you are very dissatisfied.”

“Isn’t it obvious?”

Everyone’s heads turned.

The woman with both fists on her hips glared at Na-gyeol.

Thanks to the narrowing of her eyebrows, her dark eyebrows were concentrated in the center.

“You have to fight to know who is stronger, but I don’t understand why you decided on that and then fell for it.”

“… … .”

“In the eyes of the general military, does the combat power of the unmanned people seem like a number?”

Nagyeol recognized her.

He smiled as if he were looking at a pitiful person and parted his lips.

“An Soger, from now on I’m going to explain it to you.”

Nagyeol radiated energy.

The intangible energy that spread out in an instant tightened around her neck.

The feeling as if the wind had turned into a sharp blade and had been pressed against the skin.

The participants nearby instinctively raised their hands to the sword.

“So, don’t interrupt me carelessly. Do you understand?”

“… “Tsk.”

Dangyeong moved his arm, which had been resting still, and turned his back.

The sound of fluttering sleeves alerted Na-gyeol.

The next moment, the energy that had dominated the space disappeared everywhere.

Nagyeol stared at Dangyeong.

Dangyeong tilted his head with a strange expression.

It meant that he didn’t know why he was looking at him.

“Please proceed.”

“… “Sure.”

Nagyeol continued talking about what he had finished.

“So, before drawing the sixteenth-strong match, we decided to give you a choice.”

Nagyeol pointed to the winners by default.

“I don’t know why this person got a bye, if I get it, I’ll win. If you think so, please come forward and point out your opponent.”

“… … .”

“I will gladly join you as an opponent.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Dangyeong called the participants in the martial arts competition finals.

“For martial arts matches where there is no winner by default, the lottery will begin immediately.”

Namgung-tae, who greeted Dang Bi-hyeon, left for the other side of the vacant lot.

Dang Bi-hyeon, who was left alone, stared at Gyeong.

She had an innocent smile on her face while carrying a large sword on her back.

‘It’s best to avoid the light.’

She was famous from the preliminaries.

It was able to surpass countless martial arts fighters and be given the nickname “Tekken.”

Most people would have seen Gyeong’s fight, where he decides the winner with a single blow with a quick and powerful blow, so probably no one would step forward.

That’s what I thought.

“joy!”

Everyone must have had the same thoughts as Dang Bi-hyeon until the woman called Eon So-jeo came forward.

“Get out of the way!”

Eon Sojeo, who passed the participants and came forward, stood in front of Gyeong.

“I’ll reveal that it was just luck.”

“You picked me!”

Kyeong held out his hand to shake my hand.

“i look forward to!”

In this way, the opponent of Gyeong, the bye winner of the box fight, was decided.

Dang Bi-hyeon clicked his tongue as he saw her smiling and talking to him even though her request for a handshake was ignored.

I could not possibly imagine that this was Wi Ji-gyeong, whom I met on the day that Min Nam-geon was killed.

She was perfectly disguised in a very different way from Dang Bi-hyeon.

Someone began to step forward in front of the bye winners of the unlimited competition, but Dang Bi-hyeon’s interests were elsewhere.

‘Gongsunhee.’

Gongsunxi’s group was a participant in the later Jisu battle.

It might be tempting to look down on Chae Se-yeon, who didn’t show much dramatic skill, but not one of them stepped in front of her.

Only a few people who had nothing to do with them were growling in front of Chae Se-yeon, telling each other to give in.

Looking more closely, I saw that Gongsunxi was blocking the others.

“Be careful.”

“Polite Soje, but…” .”

“This is by no means an easy opponent. “Everyone, please stay still.”

Dang Feixian looked at Gongsunxi’s expression.

Even the person who said that seemed like he wanted to leave.

Looking at that expression, there was only one correct answer.

Dang Bi-hyeon shifted his gaze to Na-gyeol.

He looked at Gongsunxi with cold, as if innocent eyes.

‘Did I warn you not to think about going forward if you want to advance to a high place?’

In fact, it seemed like he could give me a tip.

For most of her peers, Chae Se-yeon’s decision to win by default is an incomprehensible decision.

On the same level, her fight was nothing special and monotonous.

However, those with sharp eyes saw things differently.

By calmly attacking without leaving any gaps, we achieve a stable victory.

That is probably why Chae Se-yeon received the highest evaluation in the late index match and was selected as a bye.

“Daeju Chae is very popular.”

Nagyeol stood in front of the late indexes.

“In this case, I think you’ll have to choose.”

“okay.”

Chae Se-yeon looked at the four reviewers in turn.

These were people who looked down on her and approached her.

Coincidentally, they all looked younger than Chae Se-yeon, but she didn’t care about anyone and chose the boy who looked interesting.

“I’ll take this one.”

“Is there any special reason?”

Chae Se-yeon spoke calmly in response to Na-gyeol’s question.

“I think they look down on me the most.”

“Child, looking down means looking down on someone. Well, it’s just that it seems the easiest.”

Na-gyeol let out a small laugh and patted the shoulder of the boy chosen as Chae Se-yeon’s opponent.

“You chose well. Of course, I wonder if it would be that easy for the martial arts leader, the Murim Alliance’s great master of Chusal… “I don’t know.”

“yes?”

“Surely you didn’t know?”

“No, that’s… .”

After hearing his words, the boy looked at Chae Se-yeon with an expression of regret.

Until now, I just saw him as a lucky rookie.

However, when I heard that she was in charge of a military unit even though she was a later index, I had a premonition that I had made a wrong choice.

Chae Se-yeon took a stab at the boy with a stern expression.

“Thank you, Sohyeop.”

At that time, Nam Gung-tae returned to Dang Bi-hyeon’s side.

“Is that boy Chae Dae-ju’s opponent?”

“huh.”

“The author should aim for the next Hubei Festival, hehe.”

Dang Bi-hyeon looked down at his left hand and responded.

“I know.”

That night.

Nagyeol’s office.

“You missed it today too?”

“I told you. “My identity has already been discovered.”

The sword demon protested.

It had been a long time since Namgung Seobaek had noticed the Sword Demon’s following.

Moreover, since I knew who the Sword Demon was, I had to increase the distance to avoid being caught.

And if you widen the distance and follow carefully, it was a common occurrence for Namgung Seobaek to disappear before you knew it.

The same routine was repeated almost every day.

When Na-gyeol, who was worse off, attacked him and asked him why he was wandering around so much, Namgung Seo-baek gave a listless answer as if it was no big deal.

‘When you get older, the pleasure of life is to wander around and see things.’

‘That’s not the right reason.’

‘Nope. General, if you live to my age, you will understand.’

Nagyeol clicked his tongue.

“Tsk, then just stand closer to the public. “That will do.”

“I was going to kill you if you followed me so shamelessly. “I don’t want to die before I get my memories back.”

“ha… .”

Rather than letting the midfielder roam freely, it would be much better to tie him down to the elders of the Murim League.

However, this means placing it closer to the center of power.

Nagyeol had to admit that, like the Murim lord Lee Yeop, it was not that easy to figure out all the moves of Namgung Seobaek, who achieved anti-Rohwandong.

He asked the Sword Demon.

“Aside from activities outside, what does Namgung Seobaek do inside the house these days?”

“I spend a lot of time with Galwan, who recently returned as an elder of the Murim League.”

“Ah, that bastard.”

By the time Nagyeol became the commander-in-chief, Galwan had already retired from his position as a senior officer and was in the process of closing his training.

However, there were some things I heard from colleagues who had been in the Cheonglimbu for a long time.

“I indirectly suggested that you join the Cheonglimbu, but they said you were so stupid that you didn’t understand what it meant.”

“It seemed like he had no interests other than martial arts.”

If you hold a high-ranking position such as a senior for a long time, you can vaguely sense the existence of the Cheonglimbu, but Galwan was extremely ignorant of the circumstances around him.

It is said that when Galwan returned from training at the closing ceremony, he became close to Namgung Seobaek.

“So what do Namgoongga and Galga usually do?”

“Discussing martial arts.”

“Is that it?”

“That’s it.”

“hmm.”

Nagyeol let out a sigh.

Even if we say that Galwan is just full of muscles in his head, Namgung Seobaek is a different story.

Judging by the stories from his youth that he had many accidents due to his inability to tolerate injustice, it was clear that if he knew about Cheonglimbu, he would most likely be hostile to them.

‘Doesn’t this guy know the Cheonglimbu? or not… .’

Are you pretending not to know even though you know?

It was difficult to figure this out using current methods.

After much deliberation, Nagyeol gave an order to the Sword Demon.

“Sword Demon.”

“What’s going on?”

“I will take care of everything, so you can join Namgung Seobaek’s self-defense position starting tomorrow.”

The Sword Demon frowned.

“Why does Hyeon-gyeong need a self-defense committee?”

“It’s frustrating. “I really don’t mean to just be an escort!”

“Ah, it means to watch closely.”

The Sword Demon nodded.

“i get it.”

* * *

Same time.

Namgung Seobaek entered the hiding place.

He closed the door as soon as he got inside, in case anyone saw him.

A hideout without any light.

It was simply dark, but a black fog-like energy filled the space.

While Namgung Seobaek narrowed his eyes and raised his senses.

The sound of a wave came into my ears.

Whirling!

Then his sword moved like a thunderbolt.

Shhh!

Sparks flew and the bullet hit the floor.

Namgung Seo-baek criticized Dang Bi-hyeon.

“It’s a bad way to say hello. Would you like to have a taste of the Changgung Muai sword technique?”

“I’ve already tasted enough from your eldest grandson.”

“Ha, it’s done.”

Namgung Seobaek asked.

“But what are these dark clouds?”

“This is a newly acquired artifact.”

“… “Even though you got something amazing, you don’t seem very impressed.”

Tang Feixian came out of the fog and smiled softly.

“There is a lot to talk about. “Let’s go down to the basement and sit down.”
