Chapter 84: Laziness, Confrontation (2)

“Did you say you were a manager?”

“If it makes sense, wouldn’t you at least pretend to hear it?”

Jongnam's eldest son, Yeo Il-gi, glared at Shin Gi-su with cold eyes.

The new investigator smiled faintly.

Considering the relationship between Jong-nam and Hwa-san, who have been ostracizing each other for generations, it was understandable why Yeo-il-gi would find fault with such nonsense.

but…….

'How dare you find fault with such an obvious place.'

It seems that the peace has been too long. How can there be a standard for a sect when a person who is the head of a sect is so easygoing?

“There are more than one or two people who have been watching. Are you saying that they are all lying now, Lady Jang?”

“That’s not true, but isn’t that such an absurd statement?”

“What are you saying is absurd?”

“I heard that the child is only in his prime. But isn’t it unreasonable for a child of that age to show such ability?”

The new detective sighed softly.

“Even if you look at the history of martial arts, wasn’t that a common occurrence? For example, Sam Bong Jin-in, a shaman, realized the Way at a young age and became a shaman.”

“Are you saying that the child you are talking about is comparable to Sam Bong Jinin?”

It was a sensitive question.

The figures of the Taoist sect glared at the new investigator with slightly unpleasant gazes.

“Of course, how could that child attain the Way? He would never be able to compare to the profound realm of the Three Peaks True Man.”

“That goes without saying.”

“I don’t think even the greatest Sambongjin in the world would have been as strong as Wi Yeon-ho at the same age.”

“What?”

“I’m just stating the truth. Yeonho, that child has already been on par with the Lord.”

“…….”

Yeo Il-gi opened her eyes wide.

“Are you talking to an adult who is very good at talking?”

“Yes, that’s true.”

Actually, Kwon Geuk did give it a little bit of leniency.

That alone was a huge deal, so I couldn't really say I lied. I just hoped for a more dramatic reaction.

“At that age, he is on par with Kwon Geuk…….”

Yeo Il-gi said as if she was amazed.

Of course, it cannot be said that Kwon Geuk is the best in the world at the moment. In Yeo Il-gi’s opinion, there are at least three warriors stronger than Kwon Geuk. However, it was an undeniable fact that Kwon Geuk was one of the strongest warriors in the world.

Doesn't that mean that even Wei Yanhu, who is on par with Kwon Geuk, is among the best martial artists in the world? At that age, there has never been anyone who has reached that level.

'But why on earth did such a person emerge from the political alliance?'

From the perspective of the old faction, which desperately wanted to escape from the shadow of the Jeongmu Alliance, it was inevitable that it would be regrettable that such a person came from the Guangdong Wei faction, which was practically a member of the Jeongmu Alliance.

A strong person like Wisanho may take honor, but he cannot destroy the balance of power. However, the mere existence of a strong person like Wiyeonho increases the influence of the Jeongmu Alliance.

The fact that such a person was born in Jeongmu Alliance at this time could only be seen as heaven helping Jeongmu Alliance.

If Yeo Il-gi had known what kind of person Wi Yeon-ho was, he would have thought that Heaven hated Jeong Mu-myeong, but Yeo Il-gi, who had no idea about Wi Yeon-ho's character, could not help but think that way now.

“I can vouch for his abilities.”

Everyone's attention was focused on Cheongyeongja's words. Surely, he was the only one here who had met Wiyeonho face to face.

“The ability is certain. The ability! Only the ability!”

It was a subtle statement, but most people understood it as meaning that his abilities were certain. In reality, it meant that only his abilities were certain and everything else was a mess.

“Amitabha.”

Ambassador Hye-jeong sorted out the increasingly subtle atmosphere.

“It is a blessing for the world of martial arts that such a talented person has emerged at a time like this.”

Everyone nodded.

In a situation where the Demonic Cult might once again cast darkness upon the world, it was a welcome thing that even one more expert had appeared. Even those who did not want the Jeongmu Alliance to become stronger here all acknowledged this fact.

“So where is that Wei Yan Ho now?”

“I am in Beijing now.”

“Beijing?”

“Yes. Something like that…….”

The new detective trailed off, as if Wei Yanhu was playing a very important role in Beijing. Everyone seemed to understand and let it slide.

'I just sent you to Beijing because you said you were going home.'

But that doesn't mean we can say that outright.

That's what politics is all about. You have to know how to use the right amount of medicine, and how to make something trivial seem like something great.

“Hmm, a young hero… Honestly, I’m interested.”

“Furthermore, if he is the son of that nobleman and the younger brother of Wisanho, then you can guess what kind of person he is.”

'Don't expect anything, you idiots!'

Seeing that the disciples of the old faction were still talking like that even though they were already entangled with Wei Yanhu, it was clear to see how little information the old faction had.

In the warm atmosphere, only Shin Gi-su, Cheong Yeong-ja, and Chil Ji-shin-gae of Gae-bok were making subtle expressions.

It wouldn't be too difficult to explain to them what kind of seed Wei Yan Ho is… … .

'It'll be faster if you feel it with your body.'

It wasn't a symbol of 'I can't be the only one who suffers'. How could someone do something like that when you never know when the situation will become urgent?

However, although Shin Gi-su could explain Wei Yan-ho, he was not confident that he could make him understand. It also took him a long time to accept what kind of person Wei Yan-ho was, and it seemed unlikely that the old guard of the closed-minded people would be able to understand Wei Yan-ho just by listening to his words.

In the end, you have no choice but to experience it and learn it for yourself.

“I already sent you a letter, so he will be here soon.”

“To here?”

“Yes. Since the matter in Beijing has just been resolved, I have given the order to return immediately. You will be able to see him in person soon.”

Even after being treated like that, Shin Gi-su still didn't know about Wi Yeon-ho.

“Sure, that would be fun. But that’s not what’s important right now.”

The new investigator nodded.

“It may be a bit of a surprise, but we have already experienced how terrible the consequences can be when we are confronted by the devil without any preparation.”

Everyone seemed to agree.

Everyone here has experienced the war with the Demonic Cult in the past. There is no one who does not know how miserable it is to deal with them.

“But we have learned from the past. This time, we will not be easily defeated. In that sense, I ask that you gather the best of each faction into the Jeongmu Alliance as a member of the Jeongmu Alliance military.”

“Umm…….”

It was something I had expected, but it was a statement that left me feeling suffocated when I actually heard it.

In the past, during the invasion of the Demonic Cult, the old faction transferred the command of their disciples to Jeongmu-myeong under the pretext of unifying the command system. As a result, they had to watch their disciples, who were as good as life, die on the orders of others.

Wasn't the accumulated resentment at that time the driving force behind the effort to escape from the shadow of the Jeongmu Alliance? But then, at this very moment, the Demonic Cult broke out again and I had to see that sight again. It was a feeling of turning my stomach inside out.

“……It’s something that needs to be done. I guess I should do it.”

Ambassador Hyejeong carried the heavy burden for me.

“I will follow the military’s orders.”

But Shin Gi-su was not satisfied with that.

“While we are gathered here today, I would like you to decide which people you would like to send.”

“Listen, soldier. We also have some matters to discuss.”

“That’s why I gathered you, Elders. Have you forgotten? The invasion of the Demonic Cult was lightning. If you wait for them to move, it will be too late.”

A boring, chaotic debate began.

Chiljishin-gae leaned back in his chair and sipped the wine from the bottle while watching the scene.

'These things haven't changed.'

Even in the midst of all this, it was disgusting to see him yelling with blood running down his throat, trying to save even a little bit of food. Of course, you could also say that it was a beautiful sight, showing his passion to save at least one more of his disciples.

'And then they all die.'

The peace was too long.

Time takes everything away: memories, recollections, and even fears.

Even though they suffered such a terrible defeat at the hands of the Demonic Cult in the past, they are still trying to preserve their faction's power. It's as if they are completely unaware that if they were to clumsily divide their power and lose, everyone would die.

'That's what it's like to be human.'

Chiljishin-gae, who was watching the long-winded people arguing with the new investigator, turned his head away. It was good for his mental health not to see dirty things.

'By the way, is that Wi Yeon-ho coming?'

The eyes of the Chiljishin dog sparkled.

What kind of accident will he cause next?

These days, just following Wei Yanhu's footsteps made him feel young again. Moreover, thanks to his foresight and the presence of a young beggar at his side, he was able to figure out Wei Yanhu's footsteps faster and more accurately than anyone else.

I became curious about Chiljishin-gae again.

Will the pure Wi Yeon-ho be able to maintain his purity while becoming entangled with the Demonic Cult?

Pure white cloth tends to dye faster than dirty cloth. When he met the dark dye called the Demonic Cultivation, he was a Chiljishinkai who couldn't help but wonder what color it would turn into.

'Will you be the hero who saves the era, or the hero who rules the era? Or… . . . '

The Chiljishin dog laughed out loud.

It was something that could have possibly destroyed an era.

“Let’s stay silent!”

“There is no rest.”

“Hey, you crazy bastard! If you pass through here, you won’t find anything for a while! You have to stay here and buy food!”

“If nothing comes out, just keep going until you do! Those unmanned things are so weak!”

“We’re okay, we’re okay! But what about Lady Jin?”

Wi Yeon-ho frowned and looked at Jin Ye-ran.

Although she was pretending to be fine, her face was filled with fatigue. She had not mastered martial arts, so it would be difficult for her to withstand the forced march of the unmanned forces.

“Then why did you follow me!”

At Wei Yanho's irritated words, Wei Sanho unknowingly kicked Wei Yanho's cheek.

Wi Yeon-ho, who had been rolling on the ground after being hit by a strong blow, opened his eyes wide and jumped up.

“Why are you hitting me!”

“Apologize.”

“No, what did I do wrong…….”

“I apologize.”

“…….”

Wi Yeon-ho flinched at the lowered voice of Wi San-ho and awkwardly bowed his head to Jin Ye-ran.

“Mom, that was harsh.”

"no."

Everyone except for the two of them opened their eyes wide.

'Is it under control?'

'I was scared?'

It certainly seemed like he was his brother. If anyone else had done something like that, they would have been thrown into the opposite mountain by now, but Wisanho was showing off his majesty by subduing Wiyeonho with just a look in his eyes.

Of course, the mouth stuck out a little bit.

“You should always be careful of the crowd.”

"……huh."

“Let’s go in. I think it would be better to take a rest before we go.”

Wi Yeon-ho followed Wi San-ho, pouting as he walked into the guest house ahead of others.

“Not putting it in your mouth?”

“…….”

It was the first time in a long time that I felt that kind of persecution.
