< Episode 100: We Met (4) >
Was it possible that I didn't know much about these women?
I was extremely bewildered by the results that came about so quickly and in an instant.
It was incomprehensible that even that stubborn father-in-law and Sima Ying had no objection to taking another woman as my wife.
Unlike me who was dumbfounded, Seolbaek's face was bright.
[Did you see it?]
She sent me a message in a triumphant voice.
He was extremely pleased that his tactic had worked.
How should I accept this?
“I will treat you like my older sister.”
Seol Baek showed his respect to Sima Young by taking a lottery ticket.
She is a thick-skinned woman.
From her perspective, having lived for over three hundred years, Sima Ying was no better than a baby, but she didn't care at all about that.
I guess it's good to be recognized by those women.
She is a woman who sometimes seems like a fox, and sometimes seems innocent and naive.
At that moment, I heard my father-in-law's voice in my head.
[Just listen without showing it.]
'……?'
[I said I would only tell you about that goldsmith if I tied the knot with you, so now ask for the information.]
under?
For a moment I almost showed my feelings.
If you do that, isn't it true that you didn't really accept the snow white, but rather that you were deceiving it?
Then, did Sima Ying also pretend to receive her according to his father-in-law's rhythm?
I didn't know that my father-in-law could use his head to come up with such an ingenious plan.
So I asked my father-in-law.
[What will you do after she tells you?]
Could it be that they are just trying to get information from Seolbaek and then kill him?
If it were just a while ago, I would have killed her without a second thought, but knowing her lonely life and her sincere feelings for me, I hesitate a little.
My father-in-law answered my question in a voice.
[Huh. I guess you had that in mind.]
[that…….]
[If you really didn't have any feelings for that woman, you wouldn't be asking me this question.]
[…….If Young-i doesn't want it, I don't plan on accepting it from anyone.]
This was the truth.
Even if someone has feelings for someone, if Sima Ying doesn't want it, no one will accept it.
My father-in-law shook his head as if he was displeased with my words.
Then he sent me a telegram.
[Be prepared if your mind changes even a little.]
[I swear to you, that will never happen.]
My father-in-law looked at me intently at my sincere words and then sent me a message.
[…….Keep it by your side and watch over it.]
[yes?]
My father-in-law spoke to me over the phone, as I was wondering.
[There is a saying that you should keep your enemies close. If you really judge that woman to be sincere to you, the spirit of that child will make a definite decision.]
After hearing these words from the craftsman, I realized something.
From the beginning, the craftsman also wanted to watch her a little longer rather than kill her.
In the end, the key was how much Seol Baek trusted Sima Ying, so the result wouldn't have changed much.
-What about you?
what?
-There's also Baek Hye-hyang, that fox.
I let out a faint sigh at Sodamgeom's words.
Let's just move on for now.
If we bring up that issue now, it seems like it will cause even more trouble than it already has.
-What a difficult situation.
The Sodam sword crackled like someone fanning a fire.
At that moment, Young-young's voice rang in my ears.
[Brother…….How should I accept this situation right now?]
Yeong-yeong was looking at me with an embarrassed face.
I blinked when the craftsman and Sima Ying suddenly barged in.
Yeong-yeong, who knew nothing, watched the situation with pity, unable to do anything, while looking at the mood of those around her.
[Young-young. Look into my eyes.]
[eye?]
Yeong-yeong was puzzled and wondered what on earth he was talking about.
But when you mentioned eyes, I unconsciously looked into your eyes.
"ah….."
At that moment, Young-young's eyes became blank.

They say seeing is believing.
He showed Yeong-yeong the vision of leaving Shaolin Temple and talking to Jang-in and Sima Ying through Jeong-yo Hwan-i-an.
At that time, there were many conversations about the truth, including the fuse and the gold medal.
This might be better than explaining it in words.
The fantasy was only a fleeting moment for Yeong-yeong.
Yeong-yeong's pupils returned to normal and her face became astonished.
“What the heck is this…..”
[fizzle.]
I told Young-young to calm down.
It's going to be very confusing.
It was the same with seeing illusions through Jeongyo Hwanui-an, and also with learning the truth through them.
I sent a message to that person.
[It's a type of illusion.]
[Illusion?]
[What I just showed you are things I've experienced.]
[Is this all true?]
It may be hard to believe that these things have happened to me.
Even though it was shown as a fantasy, the things I experienced and the things related to the Golden Emperor were so enormous that even the people of the martial arts world would have a hard time accepting them.
[I was going to tell you.]
But I didn't know that my father-in-law and Sima Ying would suddenly appear.
But since it has come to this, Young-young must know everything too.
I need to tell you this so that you will understand why I am trying to become the leader of the Martial Arts Federation.
[Forever….!?]
For a moment I stopped what I was saying.
[Brother, what's wrong?]
I want to answer Young-young's question, but my mind is elsewhere right now.
Now, I was focused on the gaze of the four-legged sword in my head.
Three figures with their faces covered by bamboo hats and black robes appeared in the office of General Bang Deok-hyeon.
'Are they those guys?'
As the Battle of Mengzhou was approaching, I thought there would definitely be someone trying to contact him.
The voice of the swordsman rang in my head.
-They suddenly barged in without saying a word. What should I do if neither the illusionary mirror nor magic works?
It seems that the swordsman had already tried to cast an illusion spell.
But that didn't work for them.
All three were not ordinary experts.
'Just buy some time.'
-okay.
* * *
The sword possessed by General Bang Deok-hyeon looked at them.
Three people entered the office.
They all had their faces covered with bamboo hats and black robes.
The fact that no one in the military stopped them when they appeared means that they were in the same group as them.
It was a tense situation, but Saryeongeom spoke calmly through Bang Deok-hyeon's mouth.
“You’re here.”
It was a line that Jin Yun-hui told me.
If you don't respond calmly here, they'll get suspicious.
At that moment, the one standing on the left among those wearing black robes opened his mouth.
“What are you thinking? Brain.”
As expected, he didn't call him General Bang Deok-hyeon.
Saryeongeom shrugged his shoulders and said.
“What does that mean?”
“I clearly told him to exclude the Sogeomseon, so how did that guy become a candidate for the Mengju War?”
At those words, Saryeongeom spoke with a blank expression.
“I used the swordsmanship to provoke the leader of the clan and have them fight.”
“Are you provoking the Vice-Chairman?”
“That’s right. Even if the old man suggests the elders’ recommendations and tries to instigate public opinion, what can we do when the leader of the clan falls for the provocation and fights him in advance?”
The answer was pretty much perfect.
The man nodded at this answer from the swordsman.
And he said with a laugh.
“That was unexpected.”
“What do you mean?”
“Brainju. You betrayed him.”
'!?'
At those words, Sa-ryeon-geom, who was possessed by General Bang Deok-hyeon, narrowed his eyes.
There was nothing particularly wrong with his answer, but he spoke as if he was certain that he had betrayed him.
Sa-ryeon-geom followed Jin-un-hui's resonating instructions.
“What on earth does that mean? How could an old man betray him?”
“To ignore the truth.”
“What?”
“Do you think we don’t know what happened at that meeting?”
'Huh. Looks like I've definitely been caught.'
At his words, Saryeongeom let out a faint breath.
It seems that some of these elders who attended the meeting were their concubines.
When I listen to Jin Woon-hui's voice, it seems like he is someone I didn't even know existed.
-Sreung!
The man pulled the sword from his waist.
And he said, aiming the tip of his sword at the four-legged sword.
“I don’t understand. Brain Lord, you said you would never betray me.”
“It’s always the case that unexpected troubles arise from unexpected places.”
The swordsman took a step back and grumbled.
Since I was certain that it was a betrayal, the only answer was to waste as much time as possible.
Sa-ryeon-geom spat out the words that Jin-un-hui had recited.
“You say you trust him, but at this age, you haven’t even received the treatment of a golden limb. How can an old man trust and follow him?”
“If you keep harboring such thoughts in your head, you will not be able to do so any longer.”
The sword of the bamboo man moved quickly.
The sword moved the body of General Bang Deok-hyeon and hurled him backwards.
However, Jukripin's sword pierced the left chest of General Bang Deok-hyeon even faster.
The swordsman pretended to be in pain and spoke to the man.
“Ugh. No, if Nobu dies, all of our plans will be ruined. Is that okay?”
At those words of the swordsman, Jukripin laughed and said.
“Unfortunately, the plans have changed.”
"correction?"
“It’s not something a dying man would know.”
With those words, Jukripin forcefully pulled the blade of his sword and tried to cut straight down to the heart of General Bang Deok-hyeon.
At that moment, the bamboo man in the middle opened his mouth.
“Stop.”
“Why are you doing that?”
The bamboo man who was trying to apply force to his sword asked with a puzzled look.
Then, the man in the middle pointed to the thick staff held by General Bang Deok-hyeon and spoke.
“Even though he is in pain, he does not let go of the cane.”
The thick voice seemed to have been distorted.
“What does this mean?”
As soon as he finished speaking, the man in the middle kicked the staff.
Saryeongeom moved his hand urgently to avoid being struck by his staff.
But it was impossible to do so while stabbed by a sword.
-Quazik!
The staff shattered, revealing the true form of the four-leafed sword within it.
The man who was stabbing the sword muttered.
"knife?"
At his words, the man who had broken the cane let out a snicker and said:
“As expected, it was a four-leaf sword.”
“A four-learned sword?”
At those words, Saryeongeom couldn't hide his embarrassment.
I recognized myself right away.
The man who broke the cane folded his arms and spoke.
“I had some idea when someone so loyal suddenly betrayed me.”
“What does that mean?”
“The Four Swords, one of the five magical swords, possess the magical power to bewitch people and control their flesh.”
'This is difficult.'
Saryeongeom bit his lips tightly.
I don't know who that person is, but he knows me too well.
The man with the sword said.
“Does that mean that the brain is under the control of this demon sword?”
“Yes.”
At these words of the bamboo man, the only one who was still not moving let out a small sigh.
As if it were a pity that he had to find out the truth.
On the contrary, Jukripin, who found out that the sword was a four-leafed sword, spoke in an excited voice.
“Hahahaha. This is truly a blessing in disguise. I already had no idea where he was, but now I’ve found him.”
-Whack!
With those words, Jukripin cut off the body of General Bang Deok-hyeon.
Then he reached out his hand towards the fallen sword on the floor and tried to pull it into the empty water.
“He will be pleased.”
The four-leafed sword rose upward, shaking.
It was that very moment.
The sword that had risen up flew not to Jukripin's hand but towards the window of the office.
“Huh?”
-Bam!
At that moment, the window sill and frame broke and someone burst into the office.
And the four-leafed sword was sucked into the hand of the one who had intruded.
* * *
-It was close.
I agreed with what Saryeongeom said.
If I had been just a little bit later, they would have taken my sword away from me.
"Tch."
When I suddenly barged into the office and took back the SaRyeon Sword, JukRipIn, who had been holding out his hand, seemed embarrassed and grabbed my open hand as if nothing had happened.
I looked through them one by one.
They were no ordinary people.
The one who tried to take the Four Swords was a master of the highest level, and the other two people were even concentrating their energy, so it seemed like they were masters who had overcome the wall.
-This is a real hit.
I looked at the bamboo man on the far right.
It is so sharp, as if looking at a well-honed sword.
The strongest of these.
Perhaps it was Noe Jang, the strongest of the three confidants that Seol Baek had mentioned.
At that time, the man who had his sword taken from me said:
“Who are you?”
Since they noticed the Four Swords, I was glad to use the Body Transformation Technique to change my face so that they wouldn't recognize me.
“I don’t know that, but you guys are gold medals…”
At that moment, I had no choice but to stop what I was saying.
It was because of the two golden eyes visible beyond the black robe at the moment when the one in the middle lifted the bamboo stick.
The man who had lifted the bamboo stick quietly looked at me and opened his mouth.
“It’s been a while. Descendants of the Sword.”
