I Reincarnated as the Crazed Heir Chapter 19

Episode 19 I’ll go see you now

“however…….”

Yal-Tak looked around carefully and spoke.

“Why are you listening to this now?”

My senior sighed and looked at me. He was asking me why I hadn’t explained it yet.

“I said I was bored.”

“It’s not fun at all.”

“It’s going to be fun.”

I motioned to Senior Zhuge Tong to continue. Then he shook his head and opened his mouth again.

“The secret palaces sometimes seek cooperation with each other, but at other times they compete with each other. If that weren’t the case, Myeonggyo would have already welcomed a new master.”

“Excessive greed only invites trouble. Even if you deny orthodoxy, there is no way the Gwangmyeong Palace will allow it.”

The senior nodded in response to Eul Tae-sik’s rebuttal.

“That’s right. That’s why the Seven Great Palaces temporarily joined hands and tried to solve the problem of the leader’s absence. If that were to happen, the next leader would be selected at the Myunggyo Daecheonje, and only then would they be able to compete for the winner. A temporary alliance was formed. The majority of the elders had already agreed to this. However… … .”

Sunbae and Eul Tae-sik’s gaze fell on me.

The leader of the sect, Ma Cheon So. My very existence has created a new situation.

If you deny the existence of the cult leader, I will take over as your proxy. But we don’t trust each other enough to be unreasonable.

“Some people will try to kill the cult leader, and some will try to embrace him.”

“No one can harm you as long as I am here.”

“I would appreciate it if you would do so. I would also be in a difficult position if the leader of the sect disappeared. Hehe… … . However.”

The senior looked around the room and continued speaking in a lower tone.

“You will never be able to stop them on your own. So the only way for the young sect leader to survive is to step into their shoes. In return, go into their arms… … .”

The expressions on everyone’s faces hardened at the blatant and dangerous remark.

“Choose a spot, choose?”

Except for Yul-Tak.

“You can either collect them or… kill them. You can do one of the two.”

When I said this with a smirk, Yaryul-tak responded with a sad face.

“until when……?”

“Of course… …until you ascend to the position of cult leader.”

“Are you offering a memorial service to make me die?”

“It is a means of survival. Also, the young sect leader is fully qualified to ascend to the throne.”

“Isn’t this just a banger going against the trend?”

“It’s a dragon.”

“If things continue like this, the dragon head will die.”

It must be a dragon’s head and a snake’s tail. And who is the banger? I don’t want to be a cult leader either. If it’s the cult leader’s last breath, then I don’t care.

“Your Majesty.”

Yaryutak spoke to me with worried eyes.

“why.”

“Your Majesty, Yaultak. I beg you.”

“sun.”

“Please go back to Cheonma-dong… … Ugh!”

It’s not worth listening to any more.

I touched his bloodshot eyes. Then he couldn’t move and just blinked.

The senior started explaining again.

“There are currently three people closest to the next leader: Blood Palace Lord Yal Yulchon, Sal Palace Lord Guyangryong, and Elder Hongraksa.”

“hmm…….”

When their names were mentioned, Eul Tae-sik swallowed his breath for the first time.

“These are absolute masters who have reached the extreme, and they are the biggest obstacles to the leader of the small sect. The only good thing is that they are just keeping an eye on each other. Also, on the surface, it looks like Sangjae Palace supports Hyulmu Palace and Hwanhee Palace supports Sal Palace, but in reality, it is different. As their power grows, even small things are bound to cause divisions.”

Senior Zhuge Tong slowly raised his brush into the air and waved it around between the portraits as if opening up a path.

And when the brush reaches its peak.

“If you dig into that gap, it might not be impossible to climb up.”

Eul Tae-sik frowned at his confident words and accepted his words.

“The owner of Gwangmyeongseo-gwan talks as if he knows everything.”

“Your Majesty, there is no way you wouldn’t know about our Gwangmyeong Library. What are you curious about?”

“There is no need to do anything in a place like this in the first place. Your Majesty should just head to Gwangmyeong Palace.”

Eul Tae-sik simply had to have his legitimacy recognized by Gwangmyeong Palace.

but.

“It would have been like that a year ago.”

“What are you talking about… … ?”

“The moment the Gwangmyeong Palace supports the Sogyoju, Cheonsan will split into four pieces and go down the path of self-destruction.”

“How could that be?! As long as the Gwangmyeongcheonmadae exists… …!”

“Do this.”

Senior Zhuge Tong interrupted him and held up two fingers.

“what……?”

“Even if Gwangmyeong Palace and we join forces, the possibility of stopping them is only this much.”

Reactions to the grim words were mixed.

First, Eul Tae-sik and I swallowed our saliva, and Yaryul-tak’s eyes widened… … .

Bam. He released the demon blood again.

“Wow, sir. Is this old man joking? What the hell? This is going to happen! How long has it been since the medicine for Gwangmyeonggung ran out? And the leader isn’t even here, so how can he stop all this! Who’s going to stop him?”

“This is it… … . I can’t believe it.”

When Eul Tae-sik continued to answer, Yaryul-tak clapped his hands together in agreement.

“That’s what I’m saying!”

“Their power has grown that much?”

“So! Uh… … What?”

It’s a different dream.

“If Gwangmyeonggung had fought alone, it wouldn’t have been possible.”

“hmm…….”

“What? Then which one of us should step up to do this? Who? Could it be you, the old man with the big head? Ugh!”

It’s noisy.

I touched his acupoint again and gently put down the hand that had been poking me.

“That’s how much their power has grown, and the power of the Gwangmyeong Palace has weakened. You have to look after the vessel and fill it, but since there’s no one to control it, it’s bound to become too much.”

“What will become of Myeonggyo… … .”

It’s the calm before a storm, just like the Central Plains of the Demonic Cult.

There was a moment of silence, and I released Yaryultak’s magic blood to lighten the mood.

“Wow, really… …! No, what I mean is… . Do you really have to do this? It would be better to just quietly wait for the leader to come. What’s the point of making a big deal out of it? If you’re not careful, you could end up dead.”

I understand, but I have my reasons for doing it.

“excuse me…….”

Eulharyeong, who had been silent, spoke carefully.

She nodded, coughed a couple of times, and continued speaking.

“I don’t know much about it… … but I lived in Birugol for a long time, following in silence. I thought there was no other way.”

Eulharyeong paused for a moment as if recalling the past days. But soon he pulled himself together and opened his mouth firmly.

“But as time went by, my father became thinner and thinner. I don’t know for sure… … I think it’s better to face it at least once if it’s going to happen anyway. I’m sorry if I overstepped… … .”

It’s just as she said.

If you don’t change today, tomorrow will just be a continuation of today.

I answered affectionately, drawing a line at the corner of my mouth.

“Enough.”

“Go, thank you.”

She averted her gaze, lowering her head slightly with a red face.

I looked around again. It seemed like everyone was waiting for me to speak.

I opened my mouth slowly.

“There is only one thing I wish for. It is to make this place a famous school.”

“This is a famous school.”

No. It must be the devil’s cult.

I smiled and walked forward.

And he held out his hand to his senior, Zhuge Tong, and asked for a brush. The brush cap wrapped around his palm.

Without hesitation, he drew a circle around one of the portraits and said:

“Let’s start with interest.”

A middle-aged man with a mustache that is stylishly curled up.

The twelfth place in the Records of the Most Excellent Schools.

Princess Sangjae, Cheon Semin.

Wait. I’ll go see you right now.

*The famous temple of Somyeonggung.

Two days passed. The heavy rain that had been falling suddenly cleared up and a cool, sunny day greeted us. It felt good to see such a clear day even though it was the rainy season.

I practiced the Cheonma Shingong while sitting cross-legged.

Woohoo-!

My tinnitus rang, and an incredible heat rose from my lower abdomen to my upper abdomen, slowly enveloping my entire body.

Reason. Samsung… … . Chilseong.

Kwaaaaaaah!

A demon draped around my back and my entire body was enveloped in darkness. At the same time, a dark evil spirit mixed in my mind.

‘Even though it is only the Seven Stars, it reaches the peak of transcendence. With the Eight Stars, it reaches the realm of fire and breaks the limits of the physical body. And when it goes beyond the composition… … .’

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The devil disappeared like smoke, and I stopped breathing.

He shook his head.

This is a martial art that should not be used carelessly. This is not only because it is the magic of the Heavenly Demon.

It was an incomplete martial art unless it surpassed at least ten stars. The moment he struck the composition, Baekhoehyeol was enveloped in magic energy and an unknown emotion surged out.

Moreover, the celestial demon is the symbol of the celestial horse. Revealing it is no different from making myself known to the world.

Phew. I sighed and opened the door, walked down the hallway, and went outside.

As I went out to the garden and looked at the flowers in bloom, the corners of my mouth naturally curled.

“Did you cough?”

A graceful voice came from behind me.

Eulharyeong. It was her.

I nodded silently and was once again immersed in the scent of flowers.

“excuse me…….”

“What’s going on?”

When I turned around, I saw her standing at an angle, not knowing what to do.

“I’m sorry, Your Majesty. I misunderstood.”

It looks like you heard everything from Eul Tae-sik.

I waved my hands and said it was no big deal.

“There is no need to explain.”

“But… … You even gave me and my father a separate building… … .”

“It’s nothing.”

“yes…….”

I smiled affectionately and said to her, who was looking gloomy.

“From now on, you can do whatever you want. Somyeong Palace is… … that kind of place.”

“… … Thank you so much. If you have any requests in the future, please leave it to me! I will repay you until the end of my life.”

Is it a story of father passing down the legacy to daughter?

“Okay.”

She smiles bashfully, says hello politely, and disappears.

“I would like to see the Little Leader at Sangjae Palace!”

“I would like to see the Little Leader at the Palace of Hwanhee!”

At that moment, a loud shout was heard simultaneously from outside the temple.

* * *

There was an unexpected commotion in front of the south gate of Somyeonggung Palace.

People passing by stopped and were captivated by the rare sight.

What caught their attention were two groups.

One group was wearing a tan robe and a sack full of bundles, while the other group was made up in bright colors and wore flowered shoes.

On the surface, they may have looked like just a bunch of women out for a drink, but no one watching would take them lightly.

This is because they were the Geumgi Unit of Sangjaegung and the Biryeong Unit of Hwanheegung, which were the armed groups representing the secret palaces.

“Huh, you said it was full of dirty odor, so what are you doing here instead of going to the pub and wagging your tail?”

“Oh my, you’re the toad that tried to harm the cult leader and got dragged to Geumcheon-dong? You managed to escape? Haha!”

“Ji Ha-mi (池夏美). Shut your filthy mouth. It stinks. Who was trying to harm whom?”

And the ones who led them out were Lee Nam Cheon A-mu, the daughter of the Crown Princess Sangjae, and Ji Ha-mi, the successor of the Crown Princess Hwanhee.

The relationship between the two was one of bitter rivalry known to all.

Even within the palace, the Hwanhee Palace and Sangjae Palace, which prioritize capital and information over force, have similar personalities, so the competition was originally particularly fierce.

So, even at the regular meeting of Myeonggyo Ise, the fights between the two were so common that the word ‘again’ was naturally added.

But this time, things were different. It wasn’t a fight between the reckless later index, but between the Geumgi-dae and the Biryeong-dae.

If even a clash had occurred, it could have led to an all-out war between the palaces.

That’s why even Cheon Ah-mu and Ji-ha-mi didn’t leave their seats.

Of course, my mouth is not closed.

“Get out when I say nice things. When things are going well, I’ll invite you over for drinks sometime. Hehe.”

“Haha, are you okay? The alcohol you sell to toads is expensive.”

“That bitch is like a pack of thieves.”

“Yeah, your balls.”

As the two exchanged bitter words, the atmosphere gradually became more intense. Tension was rising.

Right then.

Creak.

The south gate of Somyeong Palace, which had been tightly closed, opened.

And then, on the left and right, a middle-aged man with a dangerous air and a disgruntled, thuggish man appeared.

“Yalutak… … .”

“Oh my, who is that over there? Is this the first time I’ve seen your face?”

Before I knew it, all my nerves were focused inward.

Softly.

Just then, a warm breeze blew under the bright sunlight. For a moment, everyone’s mouths became silent and their senses widened.

Thud, thud.

At the same time, the refined footsteps of a gentleman lingered in my ears. Even though it was nothing special, I was strangely drawn to it.

“What are you doing?”

A sharp, low-pitched voice.

Long, fine hair in a black robe. Demonic eyes that seem to swallow up the souls of all people, regardless of age or gender.

Not small stature with pale skin that shows no blood.

He was someone who exuded a sense of decadence.

“Young leader… … .”

The devil has appeared.

* * *

The Palace of Hwanhee and the Palace of Sangjae.

A smile formed inside me. But I hid my expression completely and said it coldly.

“How cheeky.”

Okay then.

“What are you doing? Aren’t you going to greet the cult leader? These bastards… …!”

Yul-Tak steps forward and lets out a growl.

“I would like to meet the young sect leader!”

First, Cheon Ah-mu ran out and bowed deeply. It felt like he was learning properly because he was sincere.

“I come to see the young sect leader!”

“I come to see the young sect leader!”

From broad daylight, a loud shout swept through the area in front of Somyeong Palace.

Of course, there were still some who had stiff necks. Women with thick makeup and upturned eyes who were full of anger.

She walked towards me with a lilt, brushing past Cheon Ah-mu.

“Huh, you little toad with no balls.”

“Jihami? What are you doing here?”

Yul-tak spoke bluntly, as if he knew them well.

“Yalutak. You have nothing to do, so would you mind stepping aside? Nice to meet you, Sogyoju. It’s been a while. This is Jiha Mi. I hope you’ve been well.”

It must have been nice. But is she a woman you’ve met before?

She stands at an angle, bending over to reveal her cleavage. It looks like she’s covering her chest, but she takes her hands off her collar, revealing them naked.

“Jihami. Where are you getting your tease from?”

“Yalutak. I just realized today that you and I may have the same thoughts. No, maybe I already knew that.”

“Hey, you little toad. You’re talking to yourself instead of looking at the wall.”

I glanced at them as they bickered silently.

Suddenly, old friends come to mind.

Namgung Ye-na, Chun-gae, Dang Pyeong-san, Mo Yong-hui. How are you all?

“Yalutak.”

“yes?”

“Come inside.”

After I finished speaking, the hazy feeling of nostalgia disappeared and I turned my steps into the Somyeong Palace.

Eul Tae-sik also followed me silently.
