Chapter 118

Episode 118:

Cheonhwaru (千華樓).

Sichuan Province’s number one tower, known as the sacred place of the red light district.

‘Is this my second time setting foot here?’

The warriors guarding the entrance stopped him with a grim expression, but when he showed them the jade tablet he had taken out of his pocket, their attitude quickly became polite.

As I stepped inside, the faint scent of flowers tickled my nose.

I was guided by a courtesan who rushed out after receiving the call, and headed to the top floor of Giru.

As I entered the innermost room, the sight of a beautiful woman wearing only a thin acupuncture gown and quickly smoothing her hair came into view.

Baek Hye-un from Cheonhwa Cheonnyeo (天花天女).

The best courtesan in Sichuan Province.

She was the branch leader of the Haomen Saints branch.

“I’m sorry for coming to you suddenly.”

“I meet my benefactor. “Please come over here and sit down.”

Is it because I visited without contacting them in advance?

Unlike when I saw her before, she looked very disheveled.

It seemed like he was trying to relax without having any guests today.

Even her disheveled appearance was beautiful, befitting her reputation as the best beauty in Sacheon.

‘Anyway, he’s a benefactor... ... .’

Judging from what he was saying, it seemed like he knew that I was the masked man who fought the Viper Sword before.

Because the situation was urgent, I walked around with only my face covered, so it wouldn’t be surprising if my identity was discovered.

“Did you know?”

“yes. “It might sound like I’m bragging, but I have a better sense of perspective than I look.”

“It looks like you weren’t promoted to branch manager for nothing.”

“I will definitely repay you for saving me.”

While we were chatting, the courtesans brought out a table and tea utensils.

The angel asked as she poured tea into my cup.

“So what brought you to see me?”

“There is something I would like to request from Hao Wen.”

“okay.”

A look of regret appeared on her face for a moment.

Was I expecting something different?

“Please gather information about the members of the Sacheon branch of the Murim League. “If possible, I would like to focus on digging into what kind of corruption and crime was committed.”

“All right.”

“one more. Please forward my letter to the Shandong Yue family.”

I placed the letter I had taken out of my pocket on the table, and the girl picked it up and nodded.

It was really nice to see her faithful to her role.

If it had been Cheon Ga-ryeong, he would have been curious as to why he was making such a request.

The angel asked, fiddling with the steaming cup.

“Is there anything else you would like to request?”

“doesn’t exist.”

“If you do, please wait here for a moment. “We will provide you with the information you want soon.”

“......? “Is there no need to conduct a separate investigation?”

“In fact, the leaders of Haomen knew that the small association would request this information. That’s why we dispatched people and completed the investigation in advance.”

“.......”

In all likelihood, it was something ordered by Cheon Ga-ryeong.

Whatever it was, it was clear that he was a capable person.

“Anyway, it seems like your skills have improved even though we haven’t seen each other.”

“yes. Through a connection, I was able to meet a great teacher. “Thanks to you, I was able to achieve a lot.”

“Is that teacher, by any chance, Hao Wenju?”

“...!”

“I guess that’s right.”

I smiled as I stared at the angelic girl who had become as hard as a stone statue.

When I last saw it, the heavenly maiden’s level was clearly second-rate.

But now it was nearing the end of the first class.

The prayer that came out was noticeably different from before.

The appearance of the woman held in the man’s arms was familiar to my eyes.

At first, I thought she was a courtesan, but upon closer inspection, I found that there were many things that matched the description of Mo Yong So-ran’s appearance given by Hao Wen.

‘The guy called the branch leader got involved with a gangster belonging to the branch.’

Actually, the fact that the two kites got together wasn’t that big of a problem.

Because the Murim Alliance does not specifically prohibit romance between members.

The problem was that Moyong Soran was a type of human being who visited gambling dens during working hours in the name of working outside whenever he could.

‘This makes it clear.’

The scene unfolding before my eyes explained everything.

The source of funds used by Moyong Soran for gambling.

Why do other monks pretend not to notice her habitual misconduct?

It was the moment when the information obtained through Hao Moon turned out to be true.

Damun said, scratching the back of his head.

“Total difficulty is what we are talking about in this situation.”

“........”

“What do you want to do?”

“Isn’t it obvious?”

I sighed softly and held the edge of the bed with both hands.

The branch leader and Mo Yong So-ran clung to each other, letting out soft moans.

Things that are said to be unmanned in name are asleep without even noticing people entering the room.

It was clear that he had been drinking to the point of insanity the night before.

“We have to turn it over.”

I lifted the entire bed and turned it over.

Kwadangtang!

“Aaaah!”

Moyong Soran, lying on the floor, screamed and covered his naked body with both hands.

On the other hand, as soon as the older man opened his eyes, he moved nimbly and dug into my blind spot.

Even though he was rotten, he seemed to have some skills as a branch leader.

I pressed the head of the branch with the top of my foot and muttered.

“First, cover up that rattling thing.”

About a quarter has passed since then.

I was so frightened that I left the room, leaving the hiccupping noise behind, and took a deep breath while holding on to the railing of the stairs with both hands.

Then, with all his might, he exploded the Lion’s Roar.

“Everyone gather together!”

* * *

“.......”

All the bandits gathered in the training hall looking like they were dying.

Everyone stared at the podium with fearful expressions.

The branch manager’s expression darkened as they asked for an explanation.

Because he didn’t give the summons because he wanted to.

I climbed onto the podium with confident steps, sat down on the chair prepared by Damun, and glanced at the disciples with an arrogant look.

A loud noise filled the training hall.

After seeing that everyone’s attention was focused, I rested my chin on the back of my hand and said.

“My name is Yeon-woon, and I am newly assigned to the Sacheon branch.”

“newcomer?”

“A new person has arrived?”

“What kind of person would welcome a new member like this?”

The faces of the already grim thugs became even more grim.

Although they were unable to refuse the branch leader’s order to convene, everyone was quite dissatisfied.

Then, a young new recruit appears and acts arrogantly as if he were a superior, so I can’t help but feel angry.

“Didn’t you know? “The headquarters must have sent an official document.”

“I don’t remember ever hearing a story like that...”

I said ‘pick’ and laughed.

There was no way the official letter would not have arrived.

Isn’t the person being assigned the winner of the Yongbong Branch and not someone else?

It was probably one of two things.

Either the official document has not been confirmed yet, or the person who confirmed it has not reported its contents to other followers.
