Chapter 95

Episode 95

‘What an interesting sight.’

A Taoist master of the Jeomchang sect who closely resembles the Cheonwoo Dojo of the past.

Cheonwoo Dojang looks at him from a third party’s perspective.

I suddenly became curious.

What is Cheonwoo Dojang thinking now?

“Seeing as there is no answer, it seems like he is aware of his mistake.”

“What on earth are you talking about that is wrong?”

Dojang Cheonwoo took a step forward and protested.

The smile on Changin Dojang’s mouth grew even deeper.

“Why does the Taoist of the Volcanic Sect support the author?”

“Our group is being unfairly persecuted, but it is not natural.”

“Unfair? “It is not the author who feels unfair, but the other participants who stand in line at the outdoor reception area, sweating profusely and anxiously waiting for their turn.”

“You said that, didn’t you feel comfortable registering here?”

“I just enjoyed the privilege I deserved. “I’m sure you don’t know how much influence the Jeomchang faction has on the Murim Alliance.”

I barely held back from almost bursting into laughter.

A guru who is consumed with a sense of privilege and uses absurd logic.

I glanced at the Cheonwoo seal and muttered.

‘It’s literally identical.’

Even though they look alike, aren’t they too similar?

The late indexes lined up behind the Changin Dojo showed a variety of reactions.

Some people nodded in agreement, some yawned as if they were not interested, and some frowned as if they had seen an unpleasant scene.

“Such sophistry.”

“It’s not like sophistry. I know what the Dojo had in mind when he brought the group here, but he shouldn’t have done that. Discrimination in treatment based on the presence or absence of personal connections. How do you think other participants will feel if they find out about this?”

“.......”

What do you feel?

Whether they are from the privileged class or those who rely on them to eat the beans, they will all be considered unlucky.

The only source of conflict is a cheater from Hwangryongmugwan.

Watching Changin Dojang cleverly turn around and talk as if he wasn’t the object of envy made me feel nauseous.

This is why people from political factions are called hypocrites.

“I didn’t bring you here.”

“......?”

“I think there is some misunderstanding, but it was not I who prepared the recommendation to submit to the reception desk, but the cooperative here.”

“Do you mean to believe that?”

“If you don’t believe me, go ask in person.”

“It would be meaningless to ask. It looks like the small cooperative over there has some kind of relationship with the receptionist...”

“I can’t listen to you any more. “We’ll just go and see.”

“How simple is it?”

“I don’t plan on wasting any more time on meaningless arguments. “Let’s go to Yeon Sohyeop.”

“We can’t just send it away.”

“Do you mean to say that you will try to stop us?”

“Shouldn’t we correct what is wrong?”

“her... ... .”

Dojang Cheonwoo could not hold back any longer and placed his hand on the sword soldier.

As if Changin Dojang had been waiting for him, he placed his hand on his waist.

A sudden moment.

I asked, pulling on Cheonwoo Dojang’s uniform and holding him back.

“What do you want?”

“Didn’t I tell you? “I intend to correct my mistake.”

“So, I’m asking specifically how you plan to correct it. “Can I at least apologize to everyone here?”

“The person I should apologize to is wrong. And an apology that is only verbal is meaningless.”

“if?”

“How about something like this? In return for taking unfair advantage, the small cooperative donates 100 gold coins to the Murim Alliance. Since the prestige of the alliance is at stake, it can be said to be a cheap price.”

“It’s a hundred gold coins.”

A laugh escaped me.

“If you can’t come up with a price, I’ll let this story never happen.”

I made a joke as if I was provoking my opponent.

The sound of teeth grinding, ‘Ugh’, pierced my ears.

I was worried.

Should I accept the bet or give up and step down?

I could tell by looking at it.

That the Taoist in front of me was no ordinary person.

A person who is a disciple of the Jeomchang sect is a late Jisoo applying to the Yongbong Branch?

Isn’t the gap between age and status too great?

Like the Cheonwoo Dojo, it was probably in a special position within the sect.

It would not be impossible for someone with that level of standing to come up with the appropriate compensation.

Of course, it will not be easy to make a decision as the risk you have to take has increased significantly.

‘Well, I’ll accept it in the end.’

There are a lot of eyes watching, so we can’t just curl up and retreat like this.

Because hypocrites of political factions hate bending their pride.

“Are you sure you can’t offer a price?”

“No way.”

“If you do, I understand you accept the bet.”

“...Don’t regret it.”

Changin Dojang presented the wager with a note.

I nodded with a satisfied expression.

The same goes for Cheonwoo Dojang, Hwang Bojin, and the Changin Dojang in front of you.

I don’t know why the latter-day exponents of political factions like to bet so much.

Is it because the underlying confidence is that there is no way you can lose?

Fishing was a lot of fun as there were a lot of bites as soon as I threw the bait.

If it were a demonic religion, the bet would never have gone through with such a light provocation.

The Demonic Cult was a place where the loser lost everything he had, including his life, to the winner.

“That’s enough.”

Changin Dojang, who swept this direction once with a fierce look, left with his companions.

I waved them off and went to the dorm with Cheonwoo Dojang.

Dojang Cheonwoo asked me with an expression that revealed his complicated feelings.

“Did I do that too?”

“what do you mean.”

“Are you saying that I was also like that?”

“Do you know that now?”

In response to my answer without the slightest hesitation, Dojang Cheonwoo’s shoulders slumped.

It seemed like he felt quite a bit through this incident.

“I think I now understand why Master forced me to accompany the Sohyeop.”

“I’m glad you realized it late.”

“I feel like I want to find a mouse hole.”

“I don’t know about the mouse hole, but if it’s a place to be buried, I can dig it for you.”

“You’re trying to bury someone alive without any reason.”

“Everyone makes mistakes. All you have to do is not repeat it.”

“...I never thought the day would come when I would hear such words from Sohyeop.”

Dojang Cheonwoo smiled and stretched.

“Anyway, I have a question.”

“......?”

“What did Changin Dojang offer in return for the bet? “If the small cooperatives agreed right away, it wouldn’t have been a great product.”

I twisted my mouth and smiled.

To be honest, I was a little surprised too.

I was truly afraid of pride.

I never thought that Changin Dojang would go to such lengths.

“It’s a secret.”

“.......”

As he answered by putting his index finger to the corner of his mouth, Dojang Cheonwoo’s face was distorted in a strange way.

I left him behind and walked briskly.
