Genius Martial Arts Trainer Chapter 55

◈ Weight loss (1)

The next evening. When the assemblyman had finished all his work, Ryu Ji-gwang came to visit the assemblyman.

“Welcome. “Sangangju City Lord.”

“Nice to meet you. Monk Hyemin.”

After briefly exchanging greetings with Hye-min, the general manager of the clinic, Ryu Ji-gwang gestured to the servants behind him.

thud!

When the servants who followed Ryu Ji-gwang placed a box on the floor, a noise that made one feel the weight of it was heard.

“This time, Mujin Dongja caught Sejak, who was operating secretly in our upper tier, and I received a reward accordingly.”

“We, Shaolin, do not want this kind of return.”

“ha ha ha. As I said last time, it is human duty to repay kindness. “If you are uncomfortable with this money, can’t you use it to save sentient beings?”

Hyemin, who had no reason to refuse Ryu Ji-gwang’s words, eventually accepted the gift.

“ah. “And I’m sorry, but I wish I could have a little chat with the Mujin boy separately.”

Hearing Ryu Ji-gwang’s words, Hye-min looked at Mu-jin.

“I will.”

When Mujin responded, Hyemin shook her head and glared at Ryu Ji-kwang.

“I will make sure to use the gift from Cheonryu Sangdan for good causes.”

Likewise, Ryu Ji-gwang, who had taken control of Hye-min, headed to a high-end facility with Mu-jin.

Because it was a time when there were no patients, the luxury facility became a large secret room with only Mujin and Ryu Ji-gwang.

“Why did you come looking for me? “Sangangju City Lord.”

Mujin asked as he gave us a ride in an expensive car that was originally used to treat patients who came to high-end facilities.

Instead of answering Moo-jin’s question right away, Ryu Ji-gwang put his hand into his sleeve and handed Moo-jin the item he had been hiding.

“It was Mujin Dongja who caught Sejak, so we can only give the reward to Shaolin. ha ha ha. A symbol of our Cheonryu Sangdan, Mujin Dongja. “It will be kept secret in Shaolin, so you can use it without anyone knowing.”

The slip I handed out as if it was nothing special had the amount of 100 gold nyang written on it.

Since it was an amount equivalent to the annual food expenses of the entire Shaolin Temple, it was a considerable amount of money for an individual in Mujin to spend.

Ryu Ji-gwang handed over the slip while hiding his true feelings, wondering how Mu-jin would react when he saw this money.

“thank you. Sangsanju City Lord. I will use this work to help less fortunate sentient beings. Amitabha Buddha.”

Mujin accepted the money in a very calm manner.

Of course, the sentient being that Mujin was talking about was himself.

He has been confined to the mountains for decades, unable to even date and living only as a vegetarian. If that is not an unfortunate sentient being, what else is it?

‘Good.’ ‘This is the money to use when escaping Shaolin!’

Mujin was inwardly elated at the thought of having a source of funds to use in the future.

Ryu Ji-kwang thought as he looked at Mu-jin, who immediately accepted the slip without even a single rejection.

‘No matter how much I think about it, it doesn’t seem like a child who should be around the fire.’

It certainly didn’t seem like he was overtly seeking money. However, judging by the way he made business plans and the way he did not feel uncomfortable about money, I did not get the feeling that he was a Buddhist. Also, that strange hairstyle.

While Ryu Ji-gwang was thinking of such thoughts, Mu-jin, who had put the slip between his sleeves, opened his mouth.

“But why did you come here in person? “If it was simply to deliver a gift, you could have sent servants or a general to offer donations.”

“This morning. “The woman who was caught for her actions lost her life.”

“!!!”

Ryu Ji-gwang delivered shocking news in a very calm tone.

“It is said that during the interrogation, she became mentally and physically weak and died suddenly.”

“… … “This is a strange thing.”

Naturally, Mujin suspected that Ryu Ji-gwang was intentionally trying to remove traces, but that suspicion was resolved thanks to Ryu Ji-gwang’s subsequent words.

“Actually, this is not the only strange thing happening in our Cheonryu Sangdan.”

As Mujin looked at Ryu Ji-gwang with a puzzled look, Ryu Ji-gwang took a sip of the cooling Yongjeong tea and continued speaking.

“Recently, I have been feeling signs of subversive movements among local buntas.”

“When you say it is a disturbing movement, what specifically do you mean?”

“To be honest, I don’t have any specific information. It’s just that everything happens so naturally that it feels rather unnatural. It’s just a feeling that comes from long experience. In the midst of all this, Mujin Dongja caught that Sejak.”

“… … .”

“At least I thought there was no problem in my family’s home, but Mujin Dongja prevented what could have been a very big disaster.”

“One, the throne to catch the three people has already disappeared, right?”

“Of course, she is dead, but at least we can sort things out to some extent through what she stated and what she did in the meantime.”

It was Ryu Ji-gwang, who answered in a calm but confident tone, as befits the head of the Five Great Merchants of Heaven.

Mujin looked at Ryu Ji-gwang’s face and organized his thoughts in his head.

‘Is there no need to be suspicious of the upper management?’

It may have been an attempt to deceive himself, but the probability that it was not was much higher.

‘Whether it’s true or not, the question is how much we can clean up the inside.’

Sang Sang-ju speaks with confidence, but if you didn’t know until now, it would be difficult to organize everything no matter how anxious you are.

Just as you can’t burn down all thatched roofs to catch fleas, if you dispose of all those who are even slightly related to Hong So-hee, who has worked for ten years, the top will not be able to return immediately.

During the selection process, one or two rats might survive. However, she cannot interfere with each of the Cheonryu tops on her own.

As Mujin was thinking about what to do about this, a person suddenly came to mind.

“ah. What happened to Lord Seolhwa?”

At Mujin’s question, a look of bitterness appeared on Ryu Ji-gwang’s face for an instant. Like a seasoned merchant, he quickly controlled his expression.

“As that Sejak acted as Seolhwa’s successor and stole information from Shaolin and our leader, we have also begun an investigation into Seolhwa.”

“… … Was there a connection?”

Ryu Ji-gwang shook his head in response to Mujin’s question.

“There was no connection. As a result of the investigation, it seems that Sejak used a folktale.”

In response to Ryu Ji-gwang’s answer, Mu-jin thought to himself, “As expected.”

“One, punishment for Seolhwa was inevitable. “For those who stand on top, there is no excuse for ignorance.”

Mujin could also feel the bitterness that he had tried so hard to hide.

‘Is it to set an example to others?’

Mujin, thinking of such thoughts, quietly asked a question.

“If you don’t mind, could you tell me what kind of punishment you gave to the Lord Seolhwa?”

“I ordered you to be on probation.”

“… … .”

Mujin almost burst out laughing, wondering if something serious had been punished.

And the feeling that came after the absurdity was discomfort.

‘Isn’t he being used again?’ I feel uncomfortable doing this.

When I think back to the few times I’ve seen her recently and the scenes she’s seen in novels, she had extremely low self-esteem.

It was said that if Sejak was still left at the top of Cheonryu, it would be a perfect situation to target.

‘wait? Then wouldn’t it be better for me to approach them?’

Although the word ‘approach’ is quite negative, Mujin had no particular purpose to do anything to Cheonryu Sangdan through her.

All I had to do was approach her, offer her help, and later receive a gift in return.

It’s like receiving 100 nyang of gold as a gift from Ryu Ji-kwang this time.

‘There’s nothing to lose by becoming friends with the daughter of a chaebol.’

It was Mujin who was thinking of such thoughts in front of the father of the chaebol’s daughter.

* * *

next day.

Mujin was in trouble. How do I approach her, get to know her, and gain her favor?

Actually, I had the big picture in mind.

All you have to do is teach her exercise and help her lose weight.

If she could just lose weight, there would be many positive effects.

First of all, in the process of helping her lose weight, the time we spent together would become longer, which would strengthen our relationship with her and, conversely, make it easier to block the approach of the underworld.

Additionally, losing weight could boost your self-esteem.

The biggest reason why body management through exercise has a positive effect on self-esteem is that the appearance is not only good, but the biggest reason is that the appearance was ‘acquired through one’s own efforts.’

Exercise is hard. If you work hard and sweat under that obvious premise, and taste the results that are slowly revealed through long-term efforts, you will naturally develop the confidence that ‘I can do it too.’

Well, in addition to that, there are also physical effects that come with gaining stamina and vitality.

In many ways, teaching her about exercise had many positive effects.

The only problem was that her self-esteem was very low right now.

And if a person with low self-esteem was told by someone they are not even close to, ‘I’ll help you lose weight,’ they would likely take it as ‘You little pig, lose weight.’

How can I encourage her to exercise without hurting her self-esteem?

That topic lingered in Mujin’s mind.

However, regardless of such thoughts, we cannot neglect the hospitality of those who visit high-end facilities.

“Thank you for visiting our clinic today. Lord Jihyeon.”

Ahn Hee-seung, who has now become a regular customer, came to the clinic alone for some reason today.

Today, only about twenty days have passed since I opened the clinic, but it was already the eighth time that Ahn Hee-seung came to visit.

It was said that they kept coming every two or three days.

However, Mujin continued to treat regular customers without showing any signs of concern.

After completing basic acupressure, manual therapy, and muscle lengthening surgery, I began full-scale rehabilitation exercises. And after completing some exercise movements, I was taking a short break.

Ahn Hee-seung asked an unexpected question.

“Mujin-dongja. “There is something I want to ask you.”

“Please speak in peace. Lord Jihyeon.”

“Doesn’t this place accept female patients?”

“Are you referring to the city lord?”

“That’s right. “After coming here with other people to entertain me several times, my wife naturally came to mind and I’m asking.”

From Mujin’s perspective, it was an absurd question.

“I am the only one who provides treatment at this luxurious facility. It seems that the woman’s treatment will be difficult. As Lord Jihyeon knows, my treatment involves frequent physical contact, so there are many potential problems. Amitabha Buddha.”

Even in modern times, there is a lot of potential for problems when male trainers make excessive contact with female members during PT or Pilates.

However, the world in this martial arts magazine was a world where the words “men and women for all ages” were not a joke or nonsense from old people.

Because the people who came to the free facility were all patients, most of them were elderly and poor people, and Mujin and Lee Dae disciples were monks, they could turn a blind eye to this.

Yeon Ga-hee was also an old man and considered Mu-jin like her grandson, so she just turned a blind eye to it.

But what if Mujin touches a woman whose family is high enough to visit a high-end facility?

It was hard to even imagine what terrible consequences would occur.

Ahn Hee-seung also seemed to have reached the same conclusion as Mu-jin, and ultimately accepted Mu-jin’s words.

“hmm… … . “I guess so.”

However, a thought passed through Mujin’s mind as he expressed that it was impossible.

How to proceed with treatment of women in high-end facilities. In addition, there is a way to approach Ryu Seol-hwa and lose some of Ryu Seol-hwa’s weight at the same time.

“However, it seems that after a few months, we will be able to receive female lords as patients as well.”

Mujin came up with a plan to solve those three problems at the same time.

* * *

Did I tell you to remove the ox horn as soon as possible?

Around evening. By the time the assemblyman’s work was finished, Mujin headed to Cheonryu Sangdan and was able to reach Danjujeon through the guidance of General Yang.

“I think I saw you yesterday too, what happened? Mujin Dongja.”

In response to Sangsangju’s question, Mujin didn’t bother to spin his words around but got straight to the point.

“Sangdan lord. Did you know that there is a problem when accepting patients at high-end facilities?”

“Hmm. “I need to know first whether the problem is the same as the problem I am thinking about.”

Mujin was able to understand intuitively the answer of Sang-San Joo. The fact is that the merchant owner is already aware of the problem.

“The problem is that high-end treatment facilities cannot accept women as patients.”

“Hehehe. “If you have realized the problem, have you also thought of a solution?”

Indeed, the owner of the merchant had already noticed the problem.

And Mujin willingly shared the solution he came up with when asked by Sang-Sang Joo.

A solution to get the woman to a high-end treatment facility and approach Ryu Seol-hwa at the same time.

“All you have to do is for Lord Ryu Seol-hwa, the daughter of Lord Sangdan, to learn my treatment method.”

That was, Ryu Seol-hwa learned Mujin’s treatment method. He can even exercise under the pretext of learning treatment methods.
