Chapter 162

Episode 162: Time to peel off the bean pods.

The second finals have begun.

As 32 to 16 people remained, the excitement of the Xiaolong battle became even hotter. Now, only the late exponents who are famous not only in their own town but also in the surrounding area are left.

“Now then, I will win for the Murim Lord!”

Seo Dae-ryong said it as a joke, but it also contained his determination.

This time’s opponent is Lee Hyu (李烋) from the Shandong Lee family.

A battle between projection and projection.

Rather, Seo Dae-ryong was more confident in this dance than in the previous dance.

“Strangely enough, I feel more comfortable dealing with Taoism than with other martial arts. “Why is that?”

Since he was being taught the Taoist method of the Hyeolcheon Doma, his understanding of the Taoist method was probably high. Therefore, the projection method feels relatively more comfortable.

“Our master is letting his guard down.”

“no. Absolutely not.”

Seo Dae-ryong waved his hand. The term “let down one’s guard” is unfair. Because he was working hard like he was born for this competition.

“Hey, did you see the fight? This is not an easy opponent. “Don’t let your guard down.”

“All right.”

Having said that, I expected Seo Dae-ryong to win this match. This is because the opponent’s sword method was disadvantageous compared to the sword method that Seo Dae-ryong had learned.

As expected, Seo Dae-ryong won without difficulty.

Seo Dae-ryong came down from the off-stage, waving to the cheering soldiers.

“I’m finally in the top eight!”

Now Seo Dae-ryong will be selected as an elite organization of the Murim Alliance.

“It’s a shame. “Now I have a chance to live a new life.”

“Do you want to stay? “If you want to remain as Sejak, Tongcheongak will welcome you with both hands.”

“Sejak?”

“You work while hiding your identity behind enemy lines. The genius brain of Hwangcheon-gak’s senior admission! Moreover, the best Sejak with martial arts skills! how is it?”

“I heard that the Murim Lord already knows the identities of Lord Gakju and me?”

“Did you remember?”

“Don’t even dream of leaving me behind! The only thing better than winning is losing your right hand. “Even if I win the world’s best martial arts competition instead of the Xiaolong fight, the right-hand man position is good.”

“Is that really true?”

“sure.”

“Now then, imagine! You have become the best person in the world. All the martial arts people respect you. “Do you still like my right arm?”

“yes.”

“Even the mazons you are so afraid of smile at you. You may have accidentally stepped on the toes of the evil Soma. Would you please step on these toes as well? Say it. Now, what if it’s like this?”

“yes! “But the right arm is better.”

“Gangho’s beauties are lining up to meet you just once. “Even if it’s like this?”

“Mr. Gakju would be cool even if he were a one-armed warrior.”

I burst out laughing and Seo Dae-ryong laughed along with me. Since he was more into martial arts than women these days, this joke was actually funny. Where would you send such a cute Seo Dae-ryong?

“Just go! “If you’re not here, Prince Jang will take that right-hand man position right away.”

“ah! “I’m worried about giving it to someone else.”

With the splendid feat of advancing to the Palgang River with Seo Dae-ryong, we left unarmed.

The next day, Chuho, the bodyguard, asked Jin Ha-ryeong as he was about to go on stage.

“Are you feeling unwell at all?”

Jin Ha-ryeong turned his head at his concern.

“no. why?”

“You look in a bad mood.”

“don’t worry. “Nothing happened.”

In fact, her mood was down.

After the banquet held by my grandfather, I did not meet with either Geom Yeon or Jo Shin.

If someone like a courtier harbored a grudge, it would not be a problem to kill a single person. If you kill him without leaving any evidence, you can’t hold him guilty even if you feel bad. And in this world, no one will be interested in the death of the attendant.

If I really feel like it, I want to destroy the courtier until he asks me to save him. The reason I can’t do that is because of my grandfather. As long as your grandfather is the leader, if you cause an accident, your grandfather will have to take responsibility for fixing it. Yes, hold on, hold on.

I can tolerate courtship, but there are some things I can’t tolerate. People’s hearts are so strange that I didn’t think much of it when I was watching them, but now that I couldn’t meet them, I felt like I wanted to see them for no reason. What’s so good about a cocky servant who always embarrasses people?

As she stepped onto the off-stage, cheers were heard from all directions.

“One taste of Hubuk! Jin Ha-ryeong! Hubuk one taste! Jin Ha-ryeong!”

“Cheer up, Jin Sozer!”

“I love you Jean Soger!”

“Let’s win!”

“Let’s eat noodles!”

“Win, Jean Sozer!”

She heard clearly. Strange yet welcome words mixed in with the cheering.

Her eyes turned to Gunwoong. Cheers erupted wherever she looked. Those who were touched by Hubei Ilmi looking at them chanted her name at the top of their voices.

She found sword dance in them. She looked at him and nodded once. It was a signal to eat noodles together.

That day, contrary to Chuho’s worries, she showed off her skills better than ever. Her sword was fast and accurate, and her steps were extremely elegant.

She also advanced to the Palgang River with a brilliant victory that thrilled everyone.

“You’re friends with the lord’s granddaughter!”

“You’re friends with a servant!”

After shaking my hand vigorously, she said:

“Wherever you go and someone is bothering you, tell them that my friend is the Murim Lord’s granddaughter! “Okay?”

“Of course.”

“I’ll go somewhere and brag about it too. “The most special attendant in the world is my friend.”

“Next time you need that servant friend, please call me. “Maybe that special friend will do something you never thought possible.”

Jin Ha-ryeong looked at the sword dance.

“Weird. you are.”

It seemed like this man would never die. This man didn’t seem to be in trouble. If I keep doing this for no reason, I don’t know how much I will regret later when this man dies at the hands of the courtiers. What should we do then?... After

returning from Dongho, the two people parted ways at the entrance to Wuhan to avoid attention.

Geommugeuk was returning alone when someone blocked his path.

The poisonous snake was none other than the courtier.

“Did you enjoy the outing?”

Geommugeuk looked at him with a very frightened expression. I planned to wait and see how he behaved until I found out whether he was just here for a wedding or whether he had some connection with Cheonmyeonghoe.

“You were so confident when you were with her, but why did you drop it when you were alone?”

“If you touch me, Jean Sozer won’t just stay.”

When Geommugeuk acted like he was scared, Josin’s face was filled with ridicule.

“Only about hiding behind a woman.”

Josin walked forward and grabbed Geommugeuk, who was retreating, by the collar.

“Jin Soje has been tainted because of an insignificant person like you.”

The courtier raised his hand to strike a blow. Geommugeuk closed his eyes tightly and deliberately looked afraid.

“If you thought I couldn’t kill you just because I did that in front of the lord, you were very mistaken.”

“Please save me!”

The courtier lowered his raised hand.

“I won’t kill you. It’s no fun if you just kill them. I have to see Jin Soje regret. I have to take the pods out of your eyes and see how disappointed you are. “You’ll end up clinging to me later.”

Geommugeuk knows that it is not just because of that reason. If he dies or goes missing, Jin Ha-ryeong will never marry him.

Since he was planning to get married while using the expression “defiled,” I could tell what the married life would be like without even looking at him.

“If you don’t do as I say from now on, I will rip off all your skin and throw you in a salt shaker. Do you understand?”

“yes!”

“Tonight, we will invite the later leaders to a banquet. I also invited Jean Sozer, so you can come there too. Then, clean your hair and shave your beard. “You should use this money to buy the most expensive clothes possible.”

The courtier believed that Jin Ha-ryeong’s simple appearance played a role in his liking for this guy from start to finish. It’s like a young woman’s fantasy. A man without makeup looks more confident. When I open it, there is nothing. I was planning to break it today.

If this guy from beginning to end wears expensive clothes that don’t suit him and dresses up for the sake of dressing up, it will have the opposite effect. In the end, I realized that this person is no different from any other person trying to please me. Today I will completely shatter the girl’s illusions.

“If you cooperate as I say, you will be spared. “I will give you a lot of money later.”

“How much will you give me?”

“100,000 nyang.”

Geommugeuk widened his eyes greedily at the unexpected amount.

“You must give it to me.”

“I always keep my promises. So, please do as you are told.”

Joshin was in a good mood.

‘What a piece of trash!’

So it will be much easier to use.

As Josin left with light steps, the sword dance that had been imitating cowardice returned to its original form.

“Seeing as they’re giving me 100,000 nyang, I guess they plan to kill me once the job is done.”

Although he said it to himself, it was what the hiding warrior told him to hear.

“Report the conversation that took place during this meeting to the Lord, without leaving out a single word. “It is very important to Jin Soje and Lord Meng.”

Just by hearing this report, the Murim Lord will be able to know the inner thoughts of the courtier.

“And please tell me this too. I’m willing to take care of Jo Shin when this matter is over. This is a guy who will harm Jin Soger for a long time. However, the Murim Alliance cannot treat the successor of a prestigious political faction carelessly. In the end, interests will be intertwined. “Don’t do that, just leave it to me.”

The hidden warrior still had no answer.

* * *

That night, Jin Ha-ryeong entered the manor.

All the invited later exponents had already gathered in the manor. She never wanted to come, but Josin invited her and said:

“I invited that servant, so make sure to come too.”

When Geom-yeon came, he had to come too. Because he was no longer her servant, but her friend. I couldn’t send him to the viper’s den alone.

The courtier welcomed her with a kind face.

“The reason I called you two today was to apologize.”

“Apologise?”

“exactly. That day, my pride kicked in and I unintentionally made a mistake towards the two of them. “I’m sorry.”

Jin Ha-ryeong looked at him with suspicious eyes, but the courtier treated her with a gentle expression. Snakes did not come to mind today.

‘Yes, it would be better to solve it in a good way.’

There would be no need to upset this person even for the sake of prosecution.

It was right then.

The entrance began to buzz, and Jin Ha-ryeong and Jo Shin’s eyes naturally turned in that direction.
