I Reincarnated as the Crazed Heir Chapter 255

Episode 255: Invitation from Jegalmun and others

Bang! Baekryo jumped up from his seat with trembling eyes.

"Hweju… Did I mishear just now? Who are you… holding hands with?"

"Is this your first time at Sacheonhoe?"

"Answer right away!"

"Baekryo. You trusted me."

"what……?"

"It's my eyes. It's the first time I've looked straight at someone with doubts. It doesn't feel very good, though."

"Amitabha……"

Baekryo recited the sutra with a flushed face, as if he had realized his own blatant behavior.

Ma Cheon-so looked at Baek-ryo, who had become somewhat depressed, and spoke indifferently.

"Baekryo. Reasonable doubt is an essential choice to preserve Sacheonhoe. So there's no need to hang your head as if you've committed a crime."

"Return……"

“There’s nothing to be thankful for. I don’t trust you either. It’s not just Cheongseong who has contact with the Manwol Sangdan.”

"that……!"

"I'm saying that you may have joined hands with Jegalmun."

"That's an exaggeration!"

"That's right. However, I am the leader of the Sacheonhoe. I cannot overlook even one thing. That's why I don't intend to explain everything in detail. I'm not that kind. So if you don't want to, tell me now. I will step down whenever you want."

Ma Cheon-so threw a torrential downpour. Baek-ryo's mind was filled with confusion.

'Was I being too sensitive? Did I try to judge the superman with the eyes of an ordinary person? Did he really act without any selfish motives?'

If there is no doubt about the process of creating Sacheonhoe, then it is false. But what is the result?

Sacheon celebrated, and Sado-ryeon had to swallow the bitter cup of defeat.

Everyone cheered, and the Sichuanhui successfully made a name for itself in the Central Plains.

Baekryo opened his mouth with a self-deprecating smile.

"Hweju! It seems that Soseung is at fault……"

"now."

Ma Cheon-so cut off his words and spoke.

"Enjoy it. There's still time for that."

He is a great man. He is truly a great vessel for drinking.

Although he was skeptical and doubtful, he tells them to empty their minds before the trials that await them at the Sacheonhoe.

Baekryo bowed his head to his consideration. He even felt ashamed of his own narrow-mindedness.

On the one hand, I was comforting myself for having elected him as the chairman.

He raised his head again and spoke. His face was bright. The foolishness of doubt had disappeared far away into the depths.

"Haha, not yet… I guess that's how it is. But don't worry. The path to nirvana that Buddhists walk is long and arduous."

"Then that's good."

Ma Cheon-so snickered. Baek-ryo also sat down calmly and smiled back.

And then other guests came in from outside.

"Hoeju! How can you not drink on a day like this? Haha!"

"Go! Why are you raising your voice so much in broad daylight? Keep your dignity."

"Sir, that's fine for now. Hmm? The headmaster arrived first? Wow, you were quick as expected."

Dang Jo-ha, Umu-ja, and then Dang Baek-su, Tae-gi-bang, and Su-han-seong. They went to Hae-woo-gak, carrying jars full of alcohol.

Baekryo muttered with a hollow smile.

"It seems I was the only one who was obsessed with guests."

"It was reasonable."

"It's comforting to hear Hweju say that."

"Everything."

Ma Cheon-so sipped his tea with a refreshing smile.

*

Before we knew it, the sky was turning red and the sun was slowly setting.

The atmosphere of Haewoogak was thick with the scent of alcohol.

Su Han-seong had already lost consciousness and was fast asleep at the end of the garden, while Dang Jo-ha and Yeom-no were drinking together.

Baekryo returned early with the words to drink moderately, and in front of Macheonso, Dangbaeksu and Umuja were listening to Taegibang's drunken story.

"That's right, that's what I mean. Huizhou. I'm really happy. Hehehe! I used to be useless, but when I first saw those Sado-ryeon guys in Yunnan, I felt a sense of duty in my heart…! Ugh…."

Judging by the way he was hitting his chest and gagging, he must have had quite a drink. But now, no one was ignoring him or stopping him.

I heard later that when Cheongseongpa was fighting the vanguard, Taegibang was the one who swung his sword at the forefront.

Thanks to that, the disciples also reported that they saw him again.

There was one more side story about Cheongseongpa.

"Our Jangmunin has made the Jeongilsimgong public so that all of his disciples can see it. My proud disciple. Our Jangmunin. I will change now. I will draw the last line of my life for Cheongseong……"

Thud! Taekibang couldn't shake off the cycle and fell to the floor, falling asleep.

"Your Majesty, it seems you've had a lot to drink. Haha… You've said things that you didn't have to say… "

Although Umuja blushed in embarrassment, it was certainly a great thing that he had opened up the Jeongilsimgong he had received from Amipa to everyone.

He said that the biggest influence in making this decision was Gyedalpung.

"Hoeju. If I had told Gye Sa-jil that I would yield Jeong Il-sim-gong, he might have thought differently. Maybe it was all my fault for not being able to trust me all this time……"

Wrong. Even if it weren't for that, Gyedalpung would have pointed his sword at Samun at any time.

But Ma Cheon-so didn't bother to deny it.

It was because I felt that Umuja was trying to move forward as a person of integrity and as the leader of the Daemun faction.

"Hansung must have been shocked too. It must have been the first time he'd seen so much blood on his hands… Even though he didn't show it, he couldn't sleep properly until yesterday because he was having nightmares. He must be sleeping like that now because he feels at ease because of Hoeju."

I glanced at Suhanseong and saw that he was sleeping like a mouse in the corner.

Not only that, but it was something that most people experienced when they first encountered war.

However, it was also a responsibility that had to be taken care of from the moment one set foot in the world of martial arts.

"He's a talented kid. He'll shake it off and get back on his feet in no time."

"Haha, I feel really good when the Lord comforts me like this."

Ma Cheon-so shrugged his shoulders. He had no intention of comforting her. He simply told her what he saw without holding back.

If it was Su Han-seong, he would definitely be a great person. He had a kind heart and innate strength and muscle.

So, everyone was changing little by little because of this war.

Some people looked back on their lives, some became more mature, and some built trust in Ma Cheon So.

The Sacheonhoe was thus becoming more solidly established.

and.

"Hweju-!"

The door to the pavilion opened wide, and Baekryo returned with an anxious expression.

Holding a piece of paper in my hand.

Everyone turned their attention.

Su Han-seong and Tae-gi-bang, who had been sleeping, rubbed their eyes and got up, and Dang Jo-ha and Yeom-no, who were in the middle of a masterpiece, also stopped their hands.

Everyone looked at her without exception.

"A letter has arrived from the Murim Alliance."

Martial Arts Alliance!

Ma Cheon-so accepted the letter she handed him and opened it wide.

【I wish the Sacheonhoe a bright future. If the Lord of the Huiju attends the martial arts competition for the later generations and brightens the occasion, there will be no greater joy in the Central Plains. I will be in charge of the acting leader and hold a small banquet, so I look forward to seeing you at the martial arts alliance. – Military Jegalmundeng Baesang (拜上)】

The corners of Ma Cheon-so’s mouth slowly rose.

Military commander Zhuge Liang.

The time has finally come to meet him.

* * *

Shanxi Wu Lin Alliance Rock Carvings

Zhuge Liang spread out a beautiful jade plate and drew a picture.

Whoosh! In one stroke, the leaf stem is carved as if it were alive and breathing.

It was obvious how well he was versed in calligraphy and painting. But today, he seemed to be dissatisfied with the work, and his brow furrowed with every brushstroke.

He put down his brush and tore up the unfinished painting.

Then the man sitting in front of me stood up in surprise.

“Why are you tearing that up? It was the most exquisite black orchid painting I have ever seen in my life.”

He was a man with bright eyes and a genius.

After Sacheonhoe won the battle, he received an order from Jegalmun and his men to go to the rock carving alone.

And it had already been two hours since I sat down and silently watched Jegalmun’s skills.

So I didn't understand it anymore.

You drew it so intently that you didn't even say anything, and then you tore it up right before you finished it.

Only then did Jegalmun glance at the genius statue and then approach the window and speak.

"Do you feel sorry?"

"Yes, a little bit. No, it's a shame. Whoever I showed it to, I would have bought it for a thousand dollars."

"No matter how much everyone wants a painting, if it is different from the artist's intention, it is a failure."

"What do you mean……"

"If unwanted leaves grow, it's best to start over."

He didn't express any genius, but I wondered what the hell he was talking about.

After Sacheonhoe defeated Sadoyeon, I began to wonder if he had finally lost his mind.

After thinking about it for a while, it seemed like what he said was referring to the current situation.

'Now that an unwanted leaf called Sacheonhoe has appeared… … Are you going to start over again?'

When I opened my eyes wide and looked at Jegalmundang, I felt that Jegalmundang was looking at me with a sullen look, as if he had been looking at me for some time.

Then, seeing that the genius' expression had changed, he came closer and sat down in front of him as if he was satisfied.

The genius award was creepy. Did he really check how smart he was?

Even if that were true, I didn't say anything, just looking at his expression…

It was an absurd fantasy even to me, but somehow I thought that it would be something like that for Jegalmun and the others.

"Sit down."

"Ah, yes……."

"I have to admit it."

"Me, are you talking?"

No. Why are you opening your eyes like that again?

"Sacheonhoe. I guess I underestimated them too much."

"Ah, yes. Even without that, with the news of their victory, everyone was busy praising them, putting the martial arts competition on the back burner."

The genius nodded his head in a dazed manner.

"That's right. So we must definitely have Sacheonhoeju attend the martial arts competition. Everyone will want that."

"Yes. If you don't attend, our position will only get worse."

But why am I telling you this story… … .

"I have urgently requested that you come to my banquet, so that I may hold a banquet for you."

"Yes, I heard. You have become the acting leader… Congratulations."

The genius got up in a hurry and bowed deeply. Then, Jegalmun waved his hand as if he was a genius.

"Treat me no differently than you do now."

"But… now that you've ascended to a position of omnipotence, how can you…?"

"Nothing has changed."

Ah. The genius nodded vigorously. Nothing would change if the military became the acting leader.

It's just a difference in title.

Why? He is already the top of the Murim Alliance.

It may have been for a justification that he maintained his military position while the leader was absent for two years.

The pretext of showing loyalty to the leader, Yang Tae-hong.

Jegalmun Deng briefly brought the story back to its original place.

"But… it's really frustrating as an artist. It's a painting that everyone wants, but it's not what the artist wanted."

"Yes. Now, the Murim Alliance can no longer ignore them, and Sacheon's influence will grow even stronger."

"……."

There's that expression again. The expression of someone who is just looking at you.

The genius rolled his head again.

The nobleman who is more reluctant than anyone to appear at Sacheonhoe is suddenly full of praise for Sacheonhoeju. He even called him blind.

Then he said that it wasn't the picture I wanted.

no way.

When Cheon Jae-sang made a face as if he had realized something, Jegalmun continued speaking.

"They say that Hoeju is a newcomer who is not widely known yet. It is because he does not belong to the Sammun that the Sacheonhoe can be maintained."

"Yes. It is said that he is someone whose name is not even properly known."

"I'm sure there's a lot of resentment in the Apostolic Union because they were treated like that."

"I guess his pride was really hurt."

"If you pile up resentment here and there, even the place you usually sleep becomes dangerous. That's the world of martial arts."

The genius spoke calmly with sunken eyes.

"Are you thinking of killing Hui-ju?"

I laugh. That fu*king tablecloth is getting more disgusting.

“Isn’t that how things work in the martial arts world? If you gain something through blood, you also lose something.”

It is a murder by disguise. Jegalmun and his men plan to kill Ma Cheon-so by fabricating a grudge against Sadoryeon.

The genius swallowed dry saliva and asked with sharp eyes.

"What should I do?"

"What would a merchant do? Since there's a vacancy in Sacheon, why don't you try doing some business?"

Zhuge Liang and his followers began to create a new version.

The idea is to put a genius, not a traitor, in Sacheon and return things to square one.

Calling Ma Cheon So blind is… … a trap.

The genius award was unbearable.

A smile slowly began to creep up from within me, and without me knowing it, a curve formed at the corner of my mouth.

Fortunately, in the eyes of Jegalmun and others, he only appeared as an opportunist soaked in greed.

The genius asked.

"Can I ask you just one thing?"

"Ask."

"Who can really face the Sacheonhoeju?"

"The more you know, the more you get to know someone."

"There is nothing more foolish than meddling in a business that the merchant does not know about."

Jegalmun Deng opened his eyes coldly. His gaze was so dry that it was suffocating. However, Cheon Jae-sang faced him without hiding these feelings.

Then, Jegalmun returned his gaze and wrote four characters on a jade tablet.

【Jongnam Samseong (終南三聖)】

It was them.

The real powers of the Jongnam faction who transported the corpse of Yang Jagak to Cheonsan.

Cheonra Gold Silk Udoha.

The weight of the ice breaking in the sky.

Their second encounter with the Macheonso was imminent.
