I Reincarnated as the Crazed Heir Chapter 281

Episode 281: Dong-soo

Shanxi Wu Lin Maeng Ming Jiao

The third day of the martial arts competition.

Ppieeaeaeaeaeaaak-! The cry of an eagle spread long across the clear, sunny sky.

Ma Cheon-so put down the brush he was writing with and straightened his clothes.

Because I felt a presence approaching the garden.

I closed my eyes tightly and listened. Thump, thump. I felt unstoppable footsteps.

It wasn't Chun-gae. If it had been him, he would have dragged his feet.

It was not even a flash. His steps were light, like treading on clouds.

Of all the people he knew, there was only one whose gait carried such weight.

"Gaaaaal-!"

An old man who replaces greetings at the door with a harsh rebuke.

Dokjeol Dangjoha. That was it. Ma Cheon-so raised the corners of his lips and opened the door.

“Why are you so angry this morning?”

Even at first glance, he looks very angry as he is crossing his arms and snorting.

"How long has it been since you came to the Murim Alliance and you haven't shown your face even once?"

I was busy. Ma Cheon-so shrugged.

"Go! Now that you're in the position, do you find private tutoring funny?"

Ah. Is that why? Ma Cheon-so burst out laughing. There was a slope to the top of the Ambassador's office, but it was clear that he was very upset because he didn't tell anyone about it.

They say that as you age, your intestines get smaller and smaller. It seems like you're the perfect person for this kind of thing.

"Private school."

Ma Cheon-so opened his mouth in a rather serious tone.

'Huh! This time, you have nothing to say. Why don't you try talking again?'

Perhaps because he had been through something, he snorted as if he had decided to correct the reckless and wanton habit of the party leader.

But.

"Do you want Sacheon to be looked down on by others?"

Instead of apologizing, he shamelessly looks up and down as if he is disappointed.

"What the hell is this?"

"Isn't that the case with the position of Huizhou? The steps of one person are the steps of ten thousand people. It is easy to take a step forward, but I was worried that the countless gentlemen of the four thousand who would follow me would be looked down upon."

"Huh! Are you saying that you are ashamed of your old man right now?!"

"I can't believe it sounds like that… Am I allowed to be a little surprised?"

"What?!"

"The nameplate hasn't even been properly issued yet. But if someone like Hoeju is so obsessed with the title of Daesaboo that he runs around bragging about it, others will criticize him. Sacheon will say that Hoeju is shallow and reckless."

What kind of guy is this… … . I was speechless.

I want to say something, but when I hear it again, it's true.

Ma Cheon-so smiled affectionately as if concluding the conversation and spoke in a soothing tone.

"Obviously, if the nameplate had come out, I would have greeted the private tutor first. Now, please come inside."

"Ugh, hm!"

Dangjo-ha coughed in vain with a red face and went inside with his luggage behind his back.

Ugh, I really thought that he was a guy who couldn't be defeated with words. When I saw his smiling face, my mouth became dry for no reason.

As I walked along with a shaky gait, I reached a desk where brushes were placed and lowered my head. There was a divine script written there, as if it had been written by a famous calligrapher.

【Eternal Unchanged】

"I can't sleep, so I'm just writing this in my lonely mind."

"Are you saying that you wrote it?"

He was so flustered that his beard trembled. He is not only good at talking, but also very dexterous.

"Is there a problem?"

"Huh, if you do this twice, I'll go wild and say I'll take you to the palace. Is that something you learned from your brother?"

"It's a leftover talent."

"I may not have held a paintbrush in my life, but I know how to draw. I guess I can compete with that cocky guy."

What else are you going to fight with the brush for? Ma Cheon-so replied with a hollow laugh.

"Who are you talking about?"

"Huh, you're a soldier who treats me like an old man in the back room. If you're holding a banquet, you should have told the news yourself. Why are you sending a letter when you're only a few steps from the rock carving?"

"Was it so?"

I thought he didn't come because he was worried that he would look like a pimple, but it looks like he's been lying around in the garden all day.

"That's why I didn't go. But now that I hear you've been promoted to ambassador, I wish I had gone."

Dang Jo-ha smiled with genuine pride. My nephew was recognized by the Murim Alliance as well as Sacheon. That was so great.

"It was a place with nothing to see. You did well."

"Ugh. Of course. What fun would it be to have a gathering of old people just looking at each other? But…"

He continued talking, sitting in a seat with a clear view of the willow trees outside the window.

"Ambassador… Even though it is a position that is only sham, it is a position that grants you the authority to directly hold alliance meetings, so it is an unexpected luxury."

"That was expected."

"hmm?!"

"I've defeated the Sado League without any help, so I'll have to show some courage now. What could be easier than a government post to give up without any loss? I didn't know that there would be a vassal like Pungryongdae."

"Well… he showed the face of a great man by appointing a newcomer like you to the position of ambassador, so it's obvious that everyone will praise him. But is that okay?"

"What are you talking about?"

"Wasn't there a condition attached to taking charge of the Pungryongdae?"

Yes, that's right. But why?

"So?"

When Ma Cheon-so answered nonchalantly, Dang Jo-ha clicked his tongue and said.

"That's the problem. Let me ask my child……"

Just as I was tilting my head and listening, a polite voice was heard from outside, cutting me off.

"Hoeju, are you inside? I have come to convey the message of the acting leader."

This is the messenger of the leader, Jegalmun.

When Ma Cheon-so looked at Dang Jo-ha, he nodded as if telling him to go out.

Knock knock. As I opened the door, a warm breeze came out, as if I was being greeted by the sunlight for the first time in a long time.

Then, when he lowered his head, he saw a large number of warriors from the rock carvings gathered and prostrating themselves.

'You're doing something useless.'

The corners of Ma Cheon-so's mouth drooped and he examined the warriors closely.

The grandeur that filled the garden was truly magnificent.

The spirit that flowed smoothly and without hesitation was sharp like a famous sword, and his consistent expression that showed no emotion even had a hint of murderous intent.

The Dark Dragons are the exclusive warriors of the Dark Dragons, whose skills are comparable to those of the Saryongdae.

"Tell him."

Ma Cheon-so gave the order without showing any fear, as if he was used to it.

However, it was the warriors of the Dark Dragon Corps who showed signs of wavering.

'That little guy is no ordinary guy.'

I thought that there must have been a clear intention behind Jegalmun sending dozens of his elite soldiers to convey a single message.

There is a strong intention to kill the spirit of Mr. Ma, who appeared like a comet with the fame of the Sacheonhoeju on his back.

So, he showed more of his jealousy. Among them, there was murder.

But how… … .

"How rude."

As Ma Cheon-so recited absentmindedly, Dang Jo-ha coughed loudly as if he was beating a drum.

Only then did Musa come to his senses and look inside.

It's so poisonous.

My thoughts were too deep. Didn't I end up just spewing murderous intent without even greeting the great elder of the Central Plains, the 10th Heavenly King?

Musa shouted urgently.

"I would like to convey my regards to the elder of the Dokjeol. The acting chief has requested that I stop by the rock carving for a moment as the nameplate of the ambassador has been found."

"Go! Did you come all this way just to say that?"

When Dang Jo-ha scolded him as if he was being ridiculous, Musa bowed his head deeply.

The timing was bad. Of all things, I didn't expect the poison to come.

The original reason was that if you caught one, you would lose three. In the current situation, if you pressed on with the threat of Katabuta, it was clear that you would be pushed back.

Hana Ma Cheon So ended the situation like a savior.

"Tell him I'll see you in an hour."

Yes! The warriors replied, “Get out of this world!” and quickly left the place.

Then, from behind, Dang Jo-ha clicked his tongue as if he was displeased and said.

"Why did you just let him go? He must have been trying to seize the initiative by using a trick. You should have shown him an example. Didn't it just end up being ridiculous?"

"That's right. I should have just beheaded him as a gesture of retribution."

Why are you going that far again… … . Huh?

"Are you really criticizing this private school right now?"

"Haha, yeah."

"Gooooooo!"

Ma Cheon-so burst into laughter and continued speaking as if to calm him down.

“Aren’t you just warriors who follow orders? You are not someone to vent your anger on, and there is nothing to vent your anger on.”

"Huh, I guess I never knew you were such a nice guy."

I know you don't think so. Ma Cheon-so smiled and explained affectionately.

"The authors did not send you to discourage you, but to test your numbers."

"You're looking at the numbers?"

"He doesn't know me very well."

What does this mean?

"If you were pushed by the momentum, you are an empty-handed person. If you got angry, you are a low-level person who got carried away by emotions. They just doubted me for becoming a leader at a young age and left me alone."

"Huh… Are you saying that you were trying to measure yourself through those guys? And yet you reveal your murderous intent? Isn't that really a cheeky guy?"

"Whether it was a threat or a courtesy, only the one who ordered it knows."

Dangjo thought deeply about his words, then clapped his hands in response.

"What if we make a fuss about it? If we say it wasn't that military guy, we'll just end up looking ridiculous, right?"

Ma Cheon-so smiled brightly and nodded.

"There is nothing more vain than wasting time on empty promises. So there is nothing to be angry about or relieved about."

Huh! I let out a sigh. Although he was my son-in-law, I realized that he was a guy who couldn't be known even if I knew him.

Even though he seems quite human to me, he gets angry at times like this and is calculated.

"Wow, the nickname 'World's Best Brain' is not an empty one… Even if you do just one thing, it contains such evil plans."

Jegalmundeng. He was definitely that guy. The more I thought about it, the more chills went down my spine. I even tried to recall if there had been anything similar in my memories.

Dang Jo-ha suddenly asked with shining eyes, as if he had become curious.

"What was the answer you gave, knowing so well?"

If Jegalmun and his followers were trying to measure Ma Cheon-so, how would they view today's events?

Instead of answering, Ma Cheon-so showed a cold smile.

A threat is a threat.

A scarecrow is a scarecrow.

The answer is simple.

It's the same hand.

Shanxi Wu Lin Alliance Rock Carvings

"ha ha ha!"

In the office where Jegalmun and his disciples were staying, a loud laughter like never before erupted.

The warrior who was reporting felt his heart pounding because the sight was so unfamiliar.

'Have I committed a mortal sin?'

He just laughed, but it was understandable to think that way. The one who laughed was none other than the owner of the rock carving, Jegalmun.

"I just sent you away like that. Is that what you're saying?"

"Yes… That was strange. I clearly said it was rude, and I could have used that as an excuse to scold him… But I just told him to leave. If that was the case, then why did I say something like that…."

"Haha… You're shaking like a scared dog. You have nothing to lose or gain, so there's no reason to come forward."

It was truly an insulting remark, but Musa did not ask questions and immediately lowered his head.

At first, he couldn't understand what was being said. But all he needed to know was whether the man in front of him was angry or not.

"Go out and see."

At Zhuge Liang's words, the warrior sighed in relief and took a step back.

"How is it?"

Jegalmun asked with a smile still on his face.

But there was no one around. But it didn't feel like I was talking to myself.

After a while.

"A foolish move can be poisonous. I think it would be best to end this experiment now."

Surprisingly, a completely different tone flowed into the space where I thought there was no other tone.

A man's voice, indifferent and without any highs or lows.

“For you to say that… Mr. Ma, the more I see you, the more I like you.”

"……."

"The one who answered me as your equal… Hehe. It's like seeing you from before… I hope he is someone I can have a conversation with like you."

Jegalmun looked unusually sentimental as he reminisced about the past.

This kind of appearance had never been seen before, not even in front of the loyal subject Jeoksamun, nor in front of the genius who discussed strategies.

This means that the person who hides his appearance is trusted.

It's just amazing that he, who is full of distrust towards others, can do this.

"I always cherish the smart ones. Woo Do-ha and Yoon Jae-sang. They are definitely not lacking. One."

Jegalmun stopped talking and turned around.

Geuggeuggeuk. Then, the wall that had been blocking the way split left and right, revealing Biro.

There stood a white-haired man wearing a pure white uniform.

"I love you more than anyone else. Do you know why?"

If Ma Cheon So is the pinnacle of beauty steeped in devilry, then Iza is the perfection of beauty.

"Isn't it obvious why you can't betray me? That's why we can communicate like this. Hehe… You came."

Yuljin.

Jegalmun Deng patted his shoulder and welcomed him.

Pfft! Pfft!

The roar of Baek-eung that shook the sky echoed throughout the Murim Alliance.

He was the eldest son of the Myunggyo Blood Palace and had left for Daeyomun.

He appeared here in a new identity.

He became a loyal subject and military swordsman, Amryongdaeju, who came running at the call of Jegalmun and others.
