Chapter 159

Episode 159: How frogs survive.

The courtier’s eyes changed when he heard the word servant.

If I didn’t know about him, I could have seen the sword dance. The contempt in his eyes. That unbearable, frivolous anger was conveyed, such as, ‘Why are you drinking with the person who will be my woman?’

‘He’s been like this ever since.’

Or rather, now that he was young, he was unable to hide his true nature. When he was older, Jo Shin was really good at hiding himself.

“You’re a person with a big heart, as rumored, to drink in a humble manner with a servant.”

Jin Ha-ryeong asked back what he said was good to hear.

“Do I have to have a broad mind to sit in the same place as the servant?”

Hasn’t the issue of sitting together with servants been a topic of discussion for her recently? Apart from the joint meeting, the word that occupied the most space in her mind over the past few days was not ‘Soryongjeon’ but ‘Secretary’.

“It means I don’t care at all about eating with servants.”

“Oh, I see. You have a great heart for treating your subordinates equally. “Well, there’s a banquet tomorrow. It’s going to be an obvious one, so let’s hold our young banquet here.”

It was an easy-going offer, complete with compliments, but Jin Ha-ryeong flatly rejected it.

“I’m sorry, but I decline.”

Honestly, Jo Shin is handsome. So I felt like sitting down and having a drink together.

But it was the sword that preceded those feelings.

If you drink together, you will have to send Geom Yeon out. However, if you drink it together, the courtier will get angry.

In both cases, I was reluctant. In particular, I don’t want to say things like, ‘We need to drink, so please leave your seat now.’

“This is my first time. Asking a woman out for a drink and getting rejected.”

“You’re going to see me tomorrow anyway, right?”

I didn’t see Jin Ha-ryeong, but I did see the sword dance. The moment she refused, Jo Shin’s eyes changed. How dare you reject me? Dark and cold emotions beyond that annoyance are blooming.

When Jin Ha-ryeong was about to turn around, Jo Shin sat across from him in front of the sword dance.

“I will have a drink with this attendant.”

Josin spoke to the startled woman.

“I can’t be there, but I want to find out what kind of charm this attendant has so I can be with him.”

The moment Jin Ha-ryeong heard those words, he became irritated. Jo Shin’s actions now mean that he will openly harass Geom-yeon. Are you going to act like this just because you won’t drink alcohol? The crush I felt because he was handsome disappeared in an instant.

‘Don’t you have any intention of impressing me?’

She didn’t understand. If his grandfather had mentioned marriage, this courtier would have known about it.

She sat down again.

I sat down because I was worried about the prosecution, but that stimulated Jo Shin even more.

“What a charming servant. “You made Soje Jin, who was about to leave, sit down again.”

Josin asked Geommugeuk.

“What is your name?”

“It’s a sword.”

“It’s a cool name, first and foremost.”

“thank you.”

“Do you know who I am?”

“You said earlier that you were Jinryongjang’s assistant Sohyeop.”

“I have a good memory. “Where did you get such a wonderful species?”

Her expression frowned slightly when she heard the word servant. Josin was looking into those emotions that could not be hidden, and Geommugeuk was looking into Josin’s emotional changes.

“Isn’t Jin Sozer beautiful?”

“Is beautiful.”

“Enough to think about it at night? how is it? “With her...”

Jin Ha-ryeong cut him off because it was obvious what would come next.

“Be careful what you say! “You keep crossing the line.”

“I thought you had a big heart when I saw you drinking with a servant, but it seems that your magnanimity also discriminates against other people.”

The two people made eye contact.

At that moment, an image appeared in Jin Ha-ryeong’s mind. It was a black poisonous snake raising its head and flicking its tongue. She was embarrassed because it was her first time seeing a person like this.

At that time, Josin smiled with a kind face.

“I guess my joke went too far, right?”

He tried to pass it off as if it was a joke, but Jin Ha-ryeong was in a state of low spirits.

‘Are you trying to show off your pride by treating the lord’s granddaughter carelessly?’

Josin asked Geommugeuk again.

“I have no idea. “What kind of person is our Jin Sozer?”

“I don’t know either.”

“You don’t know?”

“I am a valet, but I am not Jean Soger’s valet.”

“No?”

Josin was surprised.

“Then whose attendant are you?”

“Am I more dangerous?”

“Can you even compare? “It’s either something or it’s dangerous.”

Seo Dae-ryong laughed to himself as if he thought it was a funny joke.

“I will watch this fateful love and win.”

“Okay. “I’m going to take care of this while watching the fateful business.”

I was curious what Jin Ha-ryeong would do.

And the solution she came to the next day was something I had never thought of.

“Come to the banquet with me.”

I would like to go with you to the banquet held today. It was a banquet attended by the Murim lord and courtiers.

“I would have called you a coward and told you I couldn’t go.”

“Things are different between then and now. “I will take responsibility for your life.”

“how?”

“I’ll find out when I get there.”

Meeting the Murim Lord?

Will I be able to hide my existence from him? My level has already reached the point of returning to truth, and it may seem as if I have not learned any martial arts at all.

But would that work for the Murim Lord? Can I really hide the presence that I am as a person?

Probably not. Although you may be able to fool me with my eight-star martial arts level, you will not be able to fool me with my servant.

Meeting the Murim Lord means that I must be prepared to reveal my identity.

“What are you thinking about?”

“I’m thinking about how Grandpa Sozer will react after he finds out about me.”

Of course, she had completely different concerns.

“Grandpa won’t harm you because of your status. Even if you get angry, you will get it back at me.”

“Since you are a great person, you must treat your subordinates with respect, right?”

“sure.”

‘Then how will you treat the Heavenly Demon’s flesh and blood?’

It was something I couldn’t bear to ask her.

Of course, there is no way I will die in the Murim Alliance if it is revealed that I am the flesh and blood of the Heavenly Demon. Because if that happens, war could break out. In that sense, Murimmaeng is a safer place than our main school.

Instead, I will be expelled, and as I will be held responsible for causing problems with the Murim Alliance, this succession test will fail.

I thought about it for a while. Jin Ha-ryeong understood me and waited for me.

Eventually, I ended up thinking deeply about various situations.

“Okay, let’s go.”

“Oh, I thought well.”

“Let’s meet at the entrance to the Murim Alliance after halftime. “I’m going to a banquet and I need to prepare some.”

“great.”

After sending her away, he went up to the guest room and informed Seo Dae-ryong that he was going to a banquet held by the Murim Lord.

Seo Daeryong asked worriedly.

“Are you okay?”

“Are you going to be okay?”

“So far, Mr. Gakju has said that he goes to meet all kinds of dangerous people. Starting from the demon lord to the mazons. But now you are going to meet the Murim Lord.”

“how is it? A leader like this?”

“I would have hated it in the past.”

Every time they said they were going to the Magons, Seo Dae-ryong was scared and backed away.

“now?”

“Even if you step back because you’re scared, they won’t help you.”

We laughed together. The fact that we were alone behind enemy lines was bringing me and him closer together.

“Have a nice trip. “I will be training.”

I saw myself reflected in longing. Messy hair and cheap clothes. Instead, I messed up my hair even more and didn’t change my clothes.

Jin Ha-ryeong shouted when he saw me at the entrance to the Murim Alliance.

“You said you were getting ready to go to a banquet? “What on earth have you prepared?”

“Isn’t it better?”

“Not at all!”

“Shall I change and come?”

“No, then it’s late. song!”

When Jin Ha-ryeong and I entered the banquet hall, everyone’s eyes were focused on us.

Among the military leaders, the father’s presence appears alone in the black and white picture as red as blood.

The presence of the Murim lord was also the same. There were many people in the banquet hall, but I recognized who the Murim lord was at a glance.

Everyone looked black and white, but it felt like the Murim Lord alone was blue.

It is truly amazing the presence of the strongest martial artists.

Murim Lord Jin Paecheon, who was talking with the guests in the distance, slowly turned his head towards us.
