Seo Mun-ryeon, sitting in the tea room chair, shouted at the chamber as if her anger had flared up.
"When you're done with the book, put it back in its place! Otherwise, I'll really kill you!"
"Okay!"
As Yuk Seol-jeong's answer was heard from the chamber, Seo Mun-ryeon shook her head and drank water.
Just then, a maid's voice was heard from beyond the tea room.
"A person nad Jin Sa-wol has co."
"Bring him in."
"Yes."
After the maid retreated, Jin Sa-wol entered the room a short while later.
Jin Sa-wol, seeing Seo Mun-ryeon sitting with a hand on her forehead and a look of anguish, sat down opposite her and asked.
"Is there a problem?"
When Jin Sa-wol asked, Seo Mun-ryeon was about to speak about Yuk Seol-jeong when her eyes t Yuk Seol-jeong, who was coming out of the door. A book was held in her hand.
"Look at this. I'll tell you the secret of the Hao Faction Master."
Yuk Seol-jeong held up the book and winked at Jin Sa-wol.
In that instant, Seo Mun-ryeon's figure rushed at Yuk Seol-jeong.
Thump!
"Hey!"
"Why!"
As the two got entangled and fell, 'Namnam-saeksaek' floated into the air.
Jin Sa-wol extended his right hand and unfolded the remote object manipulation technique. Then, the erotic book flew into Jin Sa-wol's hand as if it were a lie.
Seo Mun-ryeon's and Yuk Seol-jeong's eyes widened.
"No!"
The two shouted at the sa ti, and Jin Sa-wol turned the pages of the book.
Seeing the pictures that he could not bear to look at, Jin Sa-wol, who had put the book down on the table, frowned and looked at the two who were stuck together like a rice cake.
"Haa..."
Jin Sa-wol let out a sigh mixed with a deep lant. It seed to contain the words, 'What should I do with these crazy bitches?'
Seo Mun-ryeon, who had stood up awkwardly, arranged her clothes, swept her hair, and then scurried over to Jin Sa-wol and sat down.
Since her private life that she wanted to hide had been discovered, it was inevitable that her face would flush red.
She, who had gently extended her hand and hidden the book on the table with her sleeve, smiled and examined Jin Sa-wol's complexion.
'As casually as possible.'
Was it because she hadn't seen him in a long ti?
Seo Mun-ryeon was worried about Jin Sa-wol's pale complexion. Seeing him look like a person who had caught a disease in the ti she hadn't seen him, her eyebrows furrowed on their own.
"Are you sick sowhere? You don't look well."
"There was a big fight at the inn a while ago. You must have heard the news."
"Roughly."
"I got an internal injury then. If you make up your mind now, you can kill ."
A silence flowed at Jin Sa-wol's indifferent voice.
Seo Mun-ryeon shook her head as if asking what he was talking about, and Yuk Seol-jeong was startled and approached Jin Sa-wol.
"Are you still sick? You're weaker than you look."
Yuk Seol-jeong said, recalling his appearance when he had escaped from the Demonic Cult.
"I was injured recently."
"I see. By whom?"
"Cheon Yu-myeong."
As the na Cheon Yu-myeong ca out, Seo Mun-ryeon's shoulders trembled, and Yuk Seol-jeong also opened her eyes wide and retreated.
Seo Mun-ryeon asked, trembling her shoulders.
"What happened?"
Jin Sa-wol roughly conveyed the story of Cheon Yu-myeong appearing at the inn and trying to kill him. There was no need to tell him in detail.
It was enough to be on guard.
Seo Mun-ryeon had a face as if she would have a seizure just by hearing the na Cheon Yu-myeong.
She wiped her sweaty hands with her sleeve.
"I have to find a safe place."
Seo Mun-ryeon thought she had to leave here, thinking that Cheon Yu-myeong might co to her as well.
"Cheon Yu-myeong is targeting . So don't worry."
Seo Mun-ryeon ca to her senses at Jin Sa-wol's voice.
"I will kill him."
Jin Sa-wol, unlike usual, showed a strong killing intent and then looked at Seo Mun-ryeon with an indifferent face.
"What about the Demonic Cult?"
"Even so, I have news for you. Gung Ma-yeop sent it."
Swish!
Seo Mun-ryeon, who had taken out a letter from her sleeve, handed it to Jin Sa-wol and said again.
"It's a very secret letter. Besides the Mae Master, no one in our faction knows. And our family also doesn't know."
Seo Mun-ryeon emphasized that it was information that she had not reported to the Seo Mun family.
Jin Sa-wol took the letter and unfolded it.
-The Chung Pavilion Master is in the Thunder Prison. I can help, so co and find .
I am not an enemy.
"Not an enemy?"
Jin Sa-wol contemplated for a mont what it ant and then handed the letter back to Seo Mun-ryeon.
Seo Mun-ryeon burned the letter in the lantern and said.
"In my opinion, it seems like a trap to lure you in."
Jin Sa-wol was also already thinking it was a trap. If it was to capture Jang Cho and call him, it was not a bad thod.
Jin Sa-wol recalled Gung Ma-yeop, who had been by his side when he had faced Cheon Yu-myeong. He was a strong person with trendous internal energy.
"What about the inn?"
"The general manager and Miss Namgung are there, so you don't have to worry."
"You're going to the Demonic Cult together, right?"
"No. I'm going alone."
Jin Sa-wol answered with an indifferent expression.
Although it would certainly be helpful if Seo Mun-ryeon were there, he was more comfortable alone. Seo Mun-ryeon, as if she had a desire to go to the Demonic Cult, asked again.
"If you're thinking of becoming the Demonic Cult Leader, I would be a great help."
"No."
Jin Sa-wol refused flatly and then shook his head. Just then, Yuk Seol-jeong, who had gotten dressed, ca out.
"What about ?"
"Stay here. Because it's safe here."
At the words that she couldn't go, Yuk Seol-jeong, with a disappointed face, closed the door and entered the room.
Although the words 'annoying' were heard, Jin Sa-wol ignored them.
In the past, he would not have thought of going to the Demonic Cult alone. Because moving together with several people had more advantages than disadvantages.
But now, moving alone was much more comfortable and stable.
His martial arts had improved, and his perspective on the world had changed slightly.
There were often tis when people seed insignificant, and there were also tis when all these things happening now seed ridiculous.
In any case, if he made up his mind, he could kill everyone.
That was his mindset. Except for Jeokrin, that is.
'The reason to kill him.'
He thought that if Jeokrin were not there, he would have no enemies.
Jin Sa-wol put aside his useless thoughts and drank his tea.
"Going to the Demonic Cult alone is a very dangerous act. If you don't have a comrade to watch your back, it will be hard to co out alive."
Jin Sa-wol shook his head at Seo Mun-ryeon, who was speaking with a worried expression.
"It's okay."
"Make sure I don't have to clean up your corpse."
"I will."
Jin Sa-wol answered in a tone that showed no interest in Seo Mun-ryeon's worries. Although that was disappointing, Seo Mun-ryeon thought he was originally like that and said again.
"If you need my help, find the Hao Faction. I'll let them know in advance."
Jin Sa-wol just nodded without answering and then stood up from his seat.
"Go and see the Alliance Leader. You'll et him if you contact him."
"That's good news."
Seo Mun-ryeon also stood up with a pleasant smiling eye. As Seo Mun-ryeon soon went ahead, Jin Sa-wol followed her.
***
If one could live comfortably even for a day in this situation, there was nothing better.
When he opened his eyes in the morning, beautiful young ladies ca in, helped him wash his face, and also prepared a al.
When he returned with a sweaty body after practicing martial arts, they prepared a bath and also prepared lunch.
After practicing martial arts again and feeling hungry, they gave him snacks and also prepared dinner, so it felt as if all the worries of the world were forgotten.
They also got him the books he wanted and made the food he wanted.
As he lived this comfortable life, he was able to forget the deaths of his master and brothers-in-law for a mont.
But he still couldn't sleep well.
When he closed his eyes, the nightmare of that day was stuck in his mind like a nail and would not fall off.
"Keuk!"
Gwak Ji, who had opened his eyes in the middle of qi circulation, clutched his chest and coughed up a bowl of blood.
His heart's illness was deep, so it was not easy to practice internal energy.
It was a relief that he had not fallen into qi deviation.
"Are you okay?"
A maid who had just reached the age of majority, who was beyond the door, rushed in. She, who had her hair braided in two, was Wang Hong, who was in charge of Gwak Ji.
Although she was originally a gisaeng, she had now beco a maid who took care of Gwak Ji.
Since they had been together for over a month, Gwak Ji had also beco very close to her and had opened his heart a little.
"I'm fine."
Although Gwak Ji said he was fine, Wang Hong, as if she were worried, supported him and laid him down on the bed.
"I'll call a doctor."
"No. I'll be fine if I lie down for a bit."
Gwak Ji said to Wang Hong with the gentlest smile possible. Wang Hong's eyes reddened, and she shook her head.
"How can you just lie still when you're sick? Just a mont. If you don't let bring a doctor, I'll cry."
"Okay. Do as you please."
At Wang Hong's complaint, Gwak Ji showed a smile and gave his permission. Wang Hong quickly went outside.
A short while later, Wang Hong, who had returned with a doctor, wiped the cold sweat flowing from Gwak Ji's forehead.
The doctor, after taking his pulse and placing needles, said.
"The lung ridian of the hand taiyin was just a little blocked. You'll be fine after a good night's sleep. Are you still not sleeping well these days?"
"Yes."
"I'll prepare a decoction. You'll sleep well if you drink it."
As the doctor went out, Wang Hong held Gwak Ji's hand.
It was then. Seo Mun-ryeon entered the room.
Seeing her, Wang Hong was startled and stood up.
Seeing Seo Mun-ryeon, Gwak Ji also sat up.
"I greet the Master."
"There's a guest who ca to see Brother Gwak today. He's a person I had a hard ti getting. He might be the person who can grant Brother Gwak's wish."
"Really?"
Gwak Ji, as if he were surprised, jumped up and went out the door. Jin Sa-wol was sitting there.
Gwak Ji hurriedly sat in front of Jin Sa-wol. Seo Mun-ryeon went outside with Wang Hong.
As she left the room and entered a quiet garden, Seo Mun-ryeon asked casually.
"Did you find out?"
"Not yet."
"Not yet?"
At the words 'not yet', Seo Mun-ryeon frowned and wrapped her arm around Wang Hong's shoulder. As strength entered her arm, Wang Hong bit her lip.
"Don't tell you still haven't shared a blanket?"
"...Yes."
"Find out where the secret vault of the Jongnam Sect is within a month. If you don't find out, there's no reason for you to be here. Either beco a prostitute or find out."
Hearing Seo Mun-ryeon's cold voice, Wang Hong nodded with a pale face.
"I'll keep that in mind."
Cold sweat flowed down Wang Hong's back.
"It is a thousand years of regret that I acknowledged such a devil-like bastard as my brother-in-law. I will not forget him even after I die. So please kill that evil villain."
Gwak Ji raised his voice with a very angry face. While speaking, his shoulders trembled, and he could not unfold his fist.
Jin Sa-wol was silent.
He just looked at Gwak Ji with an expressionless face.
The reason Jin Sa-wol had t Gwak Ji was to confirm how the Na Hyeon-gi he knew and the Na Hyeon-gi Gwak Ji was talking about were different.
From what Gwak Ji said, he could tell that Na Hyeon-gi's martial arts had improved by leaps and bounds and that he had beco a great master.
"If you kill him, I can do anything."
Gwak Ji was speaking with the feeling of grasping at straws.
Jin Sa-wol could not understand his heart. He just looked at him with emotionless eyes.
"I haven't accepted. So don't expect it. I just ca to hear Brother Gwak's situation."
"Thank you."
Why was he thanking him?
