Chapter 150

Episode 150

After leaving the after-party drinking party, I and Dang Sang-jin moved to a nearby tea bar.

Even though he drank a lot of alcohol, Tang Sang-jin’s complexion did not change at all.

I was able to realize once again that he was a master who had reached the absolute level.

‘It’s not like I produced alcohol poison through luck.’

How much internal energy is in your stomach?

I was the same as not getting drunk, but that was because of the supernormal ability of the White Thunder Divine Gong, not because I had incredible internal energy like Tang Sangjin.

“First of all, I want to say thank you.”

“If it’s a thank you, I think I’ve already heard it.”

“Before, I didn’t have any sense of relief because I wasn’t in a good mood. “That was on my mind the whole time.”

“.......”

“Thank you for helping my granddaughter overcome the wall.”

Tang Sang-jin bowed his head in a restrained manner.

As I was watching Kangho’s senior, who was far away, politely showing respect, I felt a bit unfamiliar.

“From the beginning, Tang Sojeo was on the verge of reaching its peak. “I just provided the opportunity.”

“They simply provided an opportunity, but not only did the total amount of internal energy increase to an absurd level, but they also achieved a transformation? “You are talking nonsense.”

“.......”

“I have no intention of digging into the details. “The fact that Yuna didn’t answer my question probably means that there is a secret that can’t be revealed to others.”

“Senior, unlike what is known to the public, you seem to have a very affectionate personality. If you look at how he treats the party leader and the people around him...”

“You mean the rumors going around in Gangho? Those are largely true. He was so crazy about martial arts that he didn’t pay attention to other things, and he also neglected his wife, whom he took in at a late age. When I think about it now, I was really immature. “I couldn’t come to my senses until my wife passed away from a chronic illness.”

“.......”

“As I got older and looked back on my past life, I felt pathetic. “It made me wonder how a person who was indifferent to his own family would become the head of the family after hearing such a big deal.”

“.......”

He suddenly started telling me stories about his past without even asking.

Has your sensitivity become richer as you get older?

Or, contrary to his seemingly sane appearance, was he drunk and feeling emotional?

Whatever it was, it seemed clear that he was regretting his past.

“A selfish, self-righteous and stubborn old monster. “It wasn’t until I was able to look at myself from an objective perspective that I decided to change.”

“.......”

“It wasn’t easy. Changing the impressions in other people’s minds isn’t as simple as you think. “At that time, it was Yuna who first approached me and extended her hand.”

“.......”

“Yuna was a special person to me, but at the same time, she was a sore finger. Although he didn’t show it on the outside, that child had been hurt quite a bit by the looks and reactions of people around him. “It was such a pity, but thanks to you, I have one less thing to worry about.”

“I also received a lot of help from the party leader. Moreover, my life was saved by my senior. “Excessive formality is burdensome.”

“Even so, being thankful is being thankful. “I hope we can continue to have a good relationship with Yuna in the future.”

“I think so.”

Tang Sangjin nodded with a satisfied expression and held the teacup in his hand.

He cleared his throat once, stared at me with narrowed eyes, and spoke.

“Let me get to the point soon. “Recently, Yuna expressed her intention to join.”

“yes?”

“He said he wanted to take the official exam and become a blind swordsman.”

“Why is Sojeo so...?”

I asked back with an expression that I didn’t understand.

She, a direct blood relative of the Tang family, is so sorry that she applies to the Murim Alliance.

Of course, it would not be surprising if she, who was not interested in the family, turned her attention to the outside world.

However, it was wartime.

There was no way she didn’t know that there was nothing good about joining the club at a time like this.

Excellent skills, great identity, and a solid background.

She was a talented person who had everything.

He even had the irreplaceable distinction of being a member of the Tang family.

I was wondering what the hell this was all about.

You might feel strange that the person who just a moment ago was urging you not to join the alliance has suddenly changed his attitude.

“First of all, let me point out one thing: Even if Sojeo joins the union now, he will not be able to work with me.”

“What does it mean?”

“We are saying that it is impossible for Sojeo, who is from Sacheon and is a direct blood relative of the party family, to work at the Sacheon branch.”

“...!”

“You may not know that Sujeo, who is not interested in Maeng’s affairs, is not affiliated with Maeng’s branches.”

It was a kind of unwritten rule.

No monks from the Kunlun Sect are assigned to the Cheonghae branch, no monks from the Shaolin Temple are assigned to the Henan branch, and no monks from the Nangong family are assigned to the Anhui branch.

If it was natural, it was natural.

Shouldn’t a branch of the Maeng Alliance be allowed to collude with a specific martial arts faction to accommodate their convenience?

Let’s look at a simple example.

What if a dispute arose between the Wudang faction in Hubei and the Zhuge Dynasty, and the leader dispatched to mediate was from the Zhuge Dynasty?

Regardless of whether the matter was handled fairly or not, problems were bound to arise.

To prevent such a situation, members from the relevant region were not allowed to work at the branch of the Maeng.

It may not have happened, but if Tang Seo-yeon was assigned to the Sacheon branch, the Cheongseong faction and Ami faction would immediately rise up.

‘Of course, even with these measures in place, there are still branches that collude with local martial arts forces and commit corruption.’

For example, like the Hanam branch that caused a big stir some time ago.

Tang Seo-yeon narrowed her eyebrows slightly and asked.

“But isn’t the cooperative working at the Sacheon branch?”

“I am an exception after all. “My hometown is not Sacheon, and although I studied martial arts at Hwangryongmugwan, I did not graduate. I have no contact with the three martial arts forces representing Sacheon, and above all, I chose my own workplace as a privilege of being the winner of the Yongbong branch.”

“.......”

“Anyway, what I want to say to Sozer is this. If you want to join the political party, delay it a little. Until one day, I work at Maeng’s headquarters. At that time, we will make a place for Sojeo and make a formal recommendation.”

“Really?”

“yes. “I promise.”

Tang Seo-yeon, who had been thinking in silence for a while, nodded heavily.

“Well thought out.

I drew a faint smile on my lips.

He granted the poison king’s request and left room for Tang Seo-yeon to be taken under his command.

I thought this would be a pretty good result.

“Of course, the fact that I said this is a secret from Lord Taesang.”

“All right.”

Lee Jajang (彛家莊).

Lee Kang-hak and Pang Moon-hwan, who were sitting around a round table, started drinking in broad daylight.

As I was drinking and enjoying the events that happened in Gwiju, the large wine jar filled with fire wine quickly ran out.

“Please eat this too, brother.”

Lee Kang-hak’s granddaughter, Lee Soo-yeon, sat right next to him and constantly offered him food and drinks.

It was so sincere that it felt a little burdensome.

I took the drink she handed me with a faint smile on my face.

“Anyway, it looks like you’ve gotten quite healthy while I haven’t seen you.”

“It’s all thanks to my brother.”

Lee Kang-hak, who was looking at me and Lee Su-yeon with a disapproving expression, immediately responded.

“It’s still impossible to go outside in the sunlight, but there’s no longer a need to stay locked in a sealed stone room. “If you are under the shade, you can live a normal life like an ordinary person.”

“Good. “I think it’s okay to announce it now.”

“What do you mean?”

“All the patients who suffered from mental illness due to Demonic Cultivation were cured. “There is no longer any need to hide the fact that Sojeo has been completely cured.”

In Lee Kang-hak’s eyes, Lee Chae was young.

“That’s a really nice story.”
