Chapter 475

Episode 475

‘How on earth did this happen?’

Chae Ho-gyeong could not come to his senses.

In the meantime, I was put in a position where I had to confront the local prefectural governor and explain how the incident occurred.

“I tell you again, I didn’t do anything wrong!”

“Okay, lower your voice.”

“The whole house was devastated! Please give them a punishment that suits their crimes!”

Beside him, Seokpo was giving an impassioned speech.

He says he feels unfair.

It is said that he suffered damage due to the Murim leaders who suddenly invaded the manor.

The expressions on the faces of the middle school students looking at him were not kind.

Everyone seemed to know that he was a dark figure in the past.

‘but.’

That said, if the gaze pouring on him was favorable, it was not.

Former head of the Black Island Sega and Gamsa Daeju of the Murim Alliance.

In the eyes of government officials, both sides were just martial artists who frequently caused accidents.

‘My side is at a disadvantage.’

The more I explained, the more I felt like I was sinking deeper into the quagmire.

It is an undeniable fact that the inspection team trespassed into the merchant’s house and ransacked the place as they pleased.

“I trust that you will make a reasonable decision!”

“You said you understood, didn’t you? “Just calm down first.”

I realized this intuitively when I saw the mayor listening to Seokpo-gun even though he was bothered.

That he had accepted bribes from Shakyamuni over a long period of time.

[I’m going to hear all kinds of strange sounds. When did the warriors of Seokgajang flock to the government office and surrender themselves?]

In the first place, it was strange that all of his subordinates were in prison, but only Lord Seokpo, the chieftain, was walking around outside.

I could only assume that he had been released after paying a huge bail.

‘Somehow, I felt like things were going to be resolved too easily.’

The unit he belonged to, Hwagakdae (火脚隊), was in fact a unit similar to the hands and tribes of the elder faction.

The immediate leader is a disciple of the Qingcheng sect and a follower of the spiritual dojo. How is it possible that the members under his command were not influenced by it?

When I was first selected as the head of the audit committee, I felt puzzled.

This is because the selection of personnel raises questions as to why the Cheonan Inspectorate did not object.

‘It’s not that they were unaware of the situation, but that they decided there was no need to raise an objection.’

I vaguely thought that the Cheonan Government Department had taken advantage of the confusion to pass the bill by snatching it, but it turns out that wasn’t the case.

I was hit in the back really well.

‘How on earth did the disciples of the Cheongseong Sect conduct their investigation...’

Chae Ho-gyeong, who was swearing inwardly, slowly narrowed his brows.

As the situation progressed, I had a question.

It was the disciples of the Cheongseong Sect who discovered the relationship between Shakyamuni and the Dragon King and reported it to the Youngseong Dojang.

However, the letter they sent was completely missing information about Shakyamuni’s changes.

‘Was the investigation insufficient, or was information intentionally omitted?’

I had no choice but to lean towards the latter.

Even if the disciples of the Amman Qingcheng School were Taoists who did not know much about the world, it was difficult to believe that they would be so incompetent that they could not even do the most basic research.

‘I don’t know right now. ‘Who on earth did this and why?’

* * *

“Whoa.”

Yu Song Dojang, a middle-aged Taoist monk, was sitting on a rock and looking up at the sky. He let out a long sigh.

I felt uneasy.

Younghwan and Yeongmyeong suddenly turned their heads at the same time.

Youngmin, who was quietly observing the atmosphere, quietly raised his hand and said.

“I agree with Younghwan Dojang’s opinion.”

“Youngmin! you!”

“Emotionally, I also want to take Yeongseong Dojo’s side. Who would want to push a close friend, with whom they have trained and developed a close relationship since childhood, into a corner? But what about the disciples?”

“.......”

“As Younghwan Dojo said a little while ago, it is clear that Yeongseong Dojo made a mistake. “What would the disciples think if we showed up here supporting injustice?”

Yeongmyeong Dojo’s mouth was tightly shut.

After tripping over his disciples, he was at a loss for words.

There was certainly a point in what Youngmin Dojang said.

“And if we surround the spiritual seal here, our relationship with the Dragon King will be completely ruined. Furthermore, the relationship with Noewang and Cheonangambu.”

“Anyway, what do you think? “An organization that will be disbanded when the war ends anyway.”

“The status of Cheonan Gambu in Danggeum Wurim is too high to ignore it like that.”

“.......”

“The world is on the Dragon King’s side. “Fighting with him now means that you have to be prepared to have the entire Qingcheng faction get criticized.”

“Who dares insult the Qingcheng Sect!”

A sluggish meeting followed with no conclusion.

There was a sharp conflict between those who supported the opinions of the Yeonghwan Dojo and those who supported the opinions of the Yeongmyeong Dojo.

Since this was a matter in which justification, practicality, and personal feelings were intertwined, a simple answer could not be derived.

bang!

How much time has passed like that?

Jang Mun-in, who decided that this was not going to end, tapped the table with his palm to attract the attention of the middle school students.

He said, putting down a letter on the table.

“The letter sent by the Dragon King the day before has reached the Qingcheng Sect.”

“yes?”

“The atmosphere seems to be overheated, so let’s calm down for a moment and read this again.”

The eyes of the old monks all turned to the letter.

There were some who showed interest and others who showed disapproval.

“Please read the financial notes first.”

“All right.”

Jaegyeonggakju reluctantly accepted the letter and quickly scanned its contents.

If we exclude the unnecessary greetings and rhetoric, the main point was, ‘I want to continue a good relationship with the Qingcheng faction in the future.’

He said that he views the Youngseong Dojo and the Cheongseong Sect separately.

No matter what decision the Qingcheng faction makes here, there will be no resentment.

‘That sounds plausible.’

Yeongmyeong Dojang snorted inwardly.

What does the Dragon King believe and accept this letter literally?

Above all, regardless of whether he harbored bad feelings towards the monk or not, the world’s view of the Qingcheng Sect would be the same.

‘There’s no need to read all the way through.’

I was about to pass the letter to the next person while laughing.

The words ‘P.S.’ written at the end of the letter caught his attention.

『As I said, I have no intention of involving the Blue Star faction in this matter. I hope that no situation arises where the Blue Star faction is harmed because of me.

If the relationship between the Cheongseong Sect and the Cheonbong Sang becomes soured due to the fall of the Youngseong Dojo, then I will build a bridge so that we can do business with the Hwayang Sang.』 ‘Huh?

‘

Yeongmyeong Dojo’s expression became blank.

It contained too much important information to be taken lightly.

‘Hwayang Sangdan?’
