Chapter 1

1 time. Waryongjang’s Honored Guest

Waryongjang is the greatest shaman in the eastern prefecture of Luoyang. The owner of Waryongjang, located in the Yeon family’s jipseongchon, was a swordsman named Yeon Mu-ryong.

Yeonmu-ryong’s nickname known to the Gangho is True Moon Swordsman.

It is a special nickname given to the rare witch who cut down the moon.

By the time the name of the swordsman of Chamwol began to be known little by little in Jiangsu, he suddenly returned to his hometown, built Waryongjang, and went into seclusion.

He was thirty-four at the time.

Despite the family’s opposition, Mu-ryong Yeon did not go to Gangho again. It wasn’t long before his name faded from people’s memories.

the first day of May.

Waryongjang, which was normally quiet, became noisy.

This is because Baek Mi-joo, the hostess of Waryongjang, is standing in the middle of the yard, giving orders to the servants non-stop.

“You guys will use the yard again. And the commander-in-chief?”

“yes.”

Commander-in-Chief Yeon Moo-dok stepped in front of Baek Mi-joo at a quick pace.

“Please find the children immediately and send them to the main house.”

Baek Mi-joo asked politely, even though the other party was the commander-in-chief. Some of them are older than her, but it was not easy to deal with her because she was the cousin of her husband, Mu-Ryong Yeon.

“Everyone?”

Haze poison looked at Baek Mi-joo with meaningful eyes.

Yeon Mu-ryong had three children, one male and one female. The top three of them are Baek Mi-joo’s children.

However, he was the youngest of the six-year-olds, a concubine and the child of Baek Mi-joo’s handmaid.

Since he was a white rice wine who did not usually take care of the maid’s child, it was necessary to check the haze poison.

Baek Mi-joo nodded with a calm expression.

“Yes, it should be. If there is even a rumor that Waryongjang disrespects bastards, it will harm his reputation.”

“All right. Brother-in-law.”

Haze poison gave a light nod and then withdrew.

Baek Mi-joo bit her lip and looked at the back of the haze poison.

He himself has no intention of calling Yeon Jeok-ha on a day like today.

However, I don’t want to hear the whispers behind my back saying ‘I’m narrow-minded’.

“ha!”

A thin sigh escaped from Baek Mi-joo’s mouth.

Today is the day I want to stay away from Yeonjeokha more than ever.

It is because it is the day when Namgung Byeok, the sword king, the head of the new sword family, decided to visit Waryongjang with his family.

Singeomsega is a name that exalts the Namgungsae of Namjikryeseong. People referred to the five strongest shamans who influenced Danggeum Murim as ‘Sega’.

The Namgung family is the best among them.

Just that name alone is enough to resolve most disputes.

Suddenly, Baek Mi-ju turned her head and looked around the manor.

The view of the small Waryongjang came into view at a glance.

small.

Today’s Waryongjang is one of the countless shaman songs.

‘Not yet...’

Baek Mi-joo wanted to make Waryongjang into a ‘Sega of Murim’.

The first person who had the dream was Yeon Mu-ryong.

But that dream was shattered.

The person who shattered that dream was Lee Bu-yong, the mother of Yeon Jeok-ha, who was his maid.

Yeonmu-ryong was fortunate to make a connection with Namgung Byeok, the Sword King, during the short period of his travels to Gangho.

It was found by Namgung Byeok passing by Yeon Mu-ryong, who was struggling against a cult called Myung-gyo.

In the end, Yeon Mu-ryong defeated Yumyeong-gyo with his help and even earned the nickname of True Moon Swordsman.

After that, it developed into a relationship of brotherhood with Namgung Byeok, the sword king, the origin of Murim.

that was six years ago That’s it.

After returning home and treating internal and external injuries, Yeon Moo-ryong fell for his maid Lee Buyong, who was running errands.

Sadly, he fell in love with a woman and abandoned his grand dream of establishing the Moorim family.

“....”

The lively Namgungcheon replied loudly.

On the other hand, Namgoongyeon, who is usually silent, only nodded.

Unlike Namgungcheon, who was full of curiosity, Namgungyeon’s expression was calm. Still, the black and white eyes were fixed on Namgung Byeok’s face.

“Uncle Yeon had two aunts. My great aunt and little aunt are here now. But Uncle Yeon had a deep bond with his little aunt. The reason I went into seclusion was because my little aunt was not in good health.”

“ah! Is your little aunt well?”

Namgungcheon, who has a friendly personality, asked urgently.

In comparison, Nam Gung-yeon, now eight years old, still has a face that does not show her heart.

‘Tsk tsk!’

Namgung Byeok shook his head excitedly as he saw the expressions of the two children who were so different.

A grown man chatters like a little girl, and a young girl is silent like an old man who is well versed in life.

For a moment, ‘How good would it have been if the personalities of the two children had been reversed?’ The imaginary Namgung Byeok soon burst into a shooting ceremony.

“ha! My little aunt had died in childbirth six years ago. After that, Uncle Yeon said he lost the fun of living in the world.”

Namgung Byeok looked out the window.

The story written in the letter from Mu-ryong Yeon a long time ago ended there.

“So, even if you go to Waryongjang, try not to bring up the story of your little aunt. For the sake of Uncle Yeon and great aunt, it’s better to pretend you don’t know. got it?”

“Yes, I will be careful.”

“....”

Namgungcheon, who had the same sensibility as a girl, replied with a sad face, while Namgungyeon nodded her head with an old man’s eyes.

Namgung Byeok gently stroked the hair of his young daughter, Namgung Yeon.

This child resembles himself as a child.

Now he lives so radically that he is called an eccentric, but he lived with his heart closed until he was over 20 years old.

If she hadn’t lived bumping into people with a knife, she might have looked just like her daughter even now.

However, in the process of learning martial arts and reaching the state of transcendence, he broke his ego countless times.

Then, the new personality that was formed is now full of confidence.

‘There will be a day when you will come out of your shell someday.’

Namgung Byeok felt sorry for Namgung Yeon, who was precocious for his age.

On the other hand, his wife, Jang Ha-eun, who is sitting across from him, is having fun from earlier.

Her husband, who has visited all over the world and even has the nickname ‘King of the Sword’, is asking her to ‘be careful in Waryongjang’.

It means that the husband sincerely respects Yeonmu-ryong.

Why had I not visited such an important person for six years?

“I find it strange that a picky person like you has formed a brotherhood with Yeondaehyeop.”

“Am I picky?”

“Huh, isn’t that so? I met the family head of the Seonwu family so often, but we didn’t become sworn brothers. But you met Yeondaehyeop just once and formed a bloody brotherhood, right?”

“You only met once? Who said that...”

“You quarreled with the family head of the Seonwu family over and over again. I guess you can’t remember?”

“That’s a word made up by the family head Seonwu. I’ve been with Yeon-young for seven days.”

Jang Ha-eun smiled and said.

“But you’ve known the family head of the Seonwu family for more than twenty years. Still, the two of them always call each other ‘Patriarch’ and keep their distance.”

“Because there is a difference between getting to know each other and communicating.”

“Oh, I think you seem to have a good connection with the head of the Seonwu family, right?”

“It is qualitatively different to connect with Yeon’s younger brother and Seonwoo’s family head.”

“how?”

The eyes of the whole family were focused on Namgung Byeok.

At the attention of the family, Namgung Byeok cleared his throat with an awkward face.

“To put it simply, if exchanges with Yeon’s younger brother are life and death... In the case of Seonwoo’s family, it can be said to be about sharing the joys and sorrows.”

“Tsk! Since you have such a mind, the head of the Seonwu family is displeased.”

“omg! You say you don’t deserve it? There is nothing else to be greedy for.”

Namgung Byeok said it was nonsense.

The relationship between life and death is not what one side wants. That is a relationship that comes from the sky. Namgung Byeok was proud that he and Yeonmu-ryong had such a relationship.
