Episode 160. return, and (6)
“what?”
Seo Liang narrowed his eyes.
“What do you mean by that?”
“therefore… … hmm.”
After clearing his throat a few times, he continued.
“The special escort wants to see Gongja. However, the special escort target cannot leave their current residence… … Anyway, I told you to tell me… … .”
“Why are you so muddled?”
“Oh, sorry.”
“Okay, what is a special escort?”
Ma Dong-pil straightened his back.
upright posture. At this moment, it is not Xi Liang’s personal escort, but has become the proud triad of the Ho Court.
“Special escort is literally… … .”
“He must be someone who needs a special escort.”
“… … .”
“no?”
“No, that’s right.”
“What I’m curious about is how much meaning the person in need of that special escort has to the school.”
“The person subject to special escort is the person the Ho Court should be in charge of first and foremost.
Of course, they are also big guests at our school. So, when escorting the target, masters from the cabinet of the court are sometimes mobilized.”
Seo Liang tilted his head.
“What else is the Cabinet? Was there another organization like that in the Ho Court?”
“Ah, Confucius didn’t know.”
You probably lost your memory rather than not knowing.
Ma Dong-pil was no longer surprised by Seo-liang’s words and actions. At least as far as Protestant work is concerned.
“The Cabinet of the Court of Ho means the hidden masters of the Court of Ho.”
Ma Dong-pil explained in detail the guards that make up the cabinet, the former masters.
Seo Liang had a grim expression on his face.
“Seondae master? Not only the previous law guards, but also the previous generation of demons and demon masters?”
“That’s right.”
A subtle pride was seen on Ma Dong-pil’s face as he answered.
It deserves it. If this is true, the Ho Court is the strongest organization in the school that is infested with monsters from the past.
Seo Liang stuck out his tongue.
‘You’re crazy. You mean he’s not just retiring, he’s living his last years as a member of the Ho Court’s cabinet?’
Usually, they spend their leisurely lives, but when a special mission falls, they rush in and solve the situation.
It is truly an amazing organizational system.
Although they are seniors from the previous generation, they are usually retired, so they will not be able to interfere in the slightest with the work of Hobeopwonju, who is a junior.
Doesn’t it mean that it stays so quiet and acts as a tool that is only used occasionally when needed?
‘They didn’t do it because the headmaster ordered them to do it, did they voluntarily choose it?’
Where the hell does this loyalty come from?
Seo Liang shook his head.
“So it was.”
“yes?”
“I’ve seen it fleetingly a few times before. The Lord of the Ho Court.”
“Ah, yes.”
“He was a very strong man. There was no shortage of comparisons with the top ten masters. In other words, it means that he is a master of the same level as the old master.”
“of course. He is a person who does not usually reveal himself, but even the headmaster acknowledged his martial arts.”
“I thought it was an organization filled with strong people, but somehow lacking, but that wasn’t the case.
There was a reason for the large gap in martial arts between Hobeopwonju and the members of the organization. You must have the skills to wield such monsters.”
“That’s right.”
A small smile appeared on Ma Dong-pil’s face. He was glad that Confucius was valuing Wonju so highly.
Seo Liang shook his head.
“I thought the Shinjangbu was the strongest group of masters in the school.”
If there are several masters from the previous generation, it means that there are several more masters who have reached the extreme level in addition to Wonju in Ho Court.
There is no one who does not know how terrifying power one absolute master can become.
One person can easily handle 10,000 troops, and the true meaning of Manbubudang is the ultimate master.
‘It was the Ho Court, not the Senate. Undoubtedly, the strongest organization of the Heavenly Demon Church is the Ho Court.’
The sage’s eyes sparkled.
‘It seems that the best shield of Protestantism was also the best spear in the end.’
In terms of the number of troops, it is difficult to compare the Cheonma Shinkyo to the Maengseong. Nevertheless, the reason why it is counted as one of the three great powers is because a large number of absolute masters are ‘collected’ like this.
“Ah, so anyway?”
“Yes. That’s why the special escort wants to see Gongja.”
The sage’s face turned grim.
“I don’t know who it is, but I’m not interested. I’m still busy, but I’m dying. And what is it, tell me to come or go? If you want to see it, you should come and knock on the door yourself.”
“It is. It’s disrespectful. But I can’t go out of my living quarters… … .”
“You can’t go out of your living quarters?”
“If a person subject to special escort enters our school, we are prohibited from going out to prepare for any unforeseen circumstances.”
“Do I need to do that? Safety is guaranteed the moment you enter the school. What kind of big guy would send a samurai or an assassin to the main school?”

Seriously, when he said that, he felt a little uncomfortable. Because he was the one who almost became the assassin sent by someone else.
“I think so too, but I don’t think the superiors think so. No matter what, there is nothing wrong with doing your best.”
“That too.”
After emptying the cold tea, Seo Liang stood up.
“Anyway, I’m not interested.”
“Ah, yes. If you do, I will tell you that.”
“okay. Ah, but how did you hear about it from the special escort or something?”
“I haven’t met in person. However, I heard it through the head of the Ho Court.”
“I see.”
Seo Liang shrugged his shoulders.
“Anyway, hurry up and go. I have a gift for you too.”
“A gift?”
“There is such a thing, man.”

three days later
Seo Liang, who was sweating at the gymnasium, suddenly heard the sound of a carriage.
Seo Liang sighed.
“Sibal, who else are you?”
It was the time when he was about to start earnestly by grabbing the cornerstone of the Demon Emperor’s Reign. Hearing the sound of the carriage, it was clear that it was coming this way.
Well, it’s a place far away from the original body, so if you hear the sound of a carriage, it’s bound to be here.
After a while, there was a knock on the door.
“Sam Gongja-nim, I… … .”
“Come on in. The door is open.”
“yes.”
profit.
The person who appeared through the open door was none other than So Yeon-sim.
So Yeon-sim politely bowed her head.
“Wonju Hwanhee sees the Three Gongja.”
“Long time no see.”
So Yeon-sim had a unique beautiful smile.
“I’m sorry, was my greeting too late?”
“I know that the work has been busy. There is no need for you to visit us like this just because you returned home.”
“That’s a bit embarrassing… … hmm?”
“Why is that?”
“… … .”
“… … ?”
“Confucius.”
“Yes, please.”
A look of astonishment crept over So Yeon-sim’s face.
“little… … You have changed.”
Seo Liang smiled.
“yes. It’s a little different.”
“… … how?”
It’s been a long time since she played in real combat, but she still has a sharp sense of humor as a transcendent master.
As soon as Su Yan-shim met Xu Liang, he noticed a change in him. At first, I thought it was a little unfamiliar since I hadn’t seen him in a few months, but now that I see it, it’s not that.
‘Extreme!’
Seeing Xiliang’s eyes, his hands naturally energized. The black and white clear eyes are still the same, but the composure and dignity that dwells in them are causing subtle tension.
“How long are you going to stare at me like that?”
“yes? Ah yes.”
Soyeonshim sighed softly.
“The person I’m looking at right now is really Sam Gongja, right?”
“Is there anyone else as handsome as me?”
“… … .”
“You still don’t respond to bullshit.”
“How did you get to the extreme?”
Seo Liang tilted his head.
“It’s not something that can be explained in words.”
“Of course I would.”
“I was lucky.”
“It is natural.”
“I know what you want to hear, but I can’t really give you an answer. You can think that it is just like that.”
Even though he reached the highest level, his personality remained the same.
“But why are you here?”
“Why are you here? I heard the news that Confucius had returned to school and came to see him.”
“Ah, did you just come to say hello?”
“Yes?”
“You’re naturally good at lying.”
“If I’m really trying to cheat, even Confucius won’t notice, right?”
“I admit it.”
Xi Liang pointed to his room.
“Please wait a moment. I’ll just finish what I’m doing and go in. It won’t be long.”
“Is it training?”
“yes.”
“hmm. Can I take a look?”
“Whether or not.”
Responding sincerely to the words thrown as a joke, I was rather surprised by the small heart.
“Can I really take a look?”
“What else can’t be done?”
“No, but… … .”
Murim people do not want to show their training scenes to others. It is because he is worried that his weakness will be known to others.
I wonder if this was too timid, but in a world called Moorim, where one knife cut is directly related to life, it was a matter of course.
All Murim people implicitly respected the rules, not those rules, even if they had different pursuits and factions.
Said Liang sullenly.
“If you are afraid of showing weakness, you shouldn’t go out into the world with a knife in the first place. If you’re really worried about it, don’t make a weakness.”
“It is, but… … .”
“Anyway, please wait a little bit. Because it looks like it will end within this angle.”
“Ah yes.”
As soon as So Yeon-sim’s answer was finished, Seo-ryang moved.
Move one step at a time smoothly. Xu Liang’s face, engrossed in an instant, was serious and reverent like that of a seeker.
So Yeon-sim couldn’t help but admire.
‘I’m concentrating. already.’
A concentration that completely immerses you in yourself before you even have time to drink a sip of tea.
That kind of concentration wasn’t something anyone could have. A strong personality can be innate, but concentration is an acquired ability.
It was only now that I could understand how strong the Three Gongja’s longing for martial arts was.
‘I must have been able to reach the peak at that age because I built the foundation with that outstanding concentration.’
A faint hint of envy crept across So Yeon Shim’s face.
‘To think that he has already become a master who discusses the world at an age where he can’t move away… … That’s amazing.’
So Yeon-sim did not know how great the grand duke, who was still in closure, had reached.
However, I was sure that he would not have shown explosive growth at least as much as Samgongja. The growth of Sam Gongja was so fast that it made the viewer doubt their eyes.
‘It’s only been two years since I lost my martial arts skills.’
Come to think of it, there is no such thing as a monster.
‘Maybe really… … .’
Soyeonshim’s eyes deepened.
‘Will I be able to seize the next presidency?’
Regardless of how great the achievements he has accumulated so far, the mere fact that he reached the peak at an age when he could not move away was enough to qualify as a Samgongja.
I know that the religious leader of the time, Lee Chun-sang, was in the middle of the migration and reached the extreme end. Nevertheless, Lee Cheon-sang was evaluated as one of the three monsters in the history of magic.
How should the Three Gongja, who reached the peak ten years earlier than the two heavenly statues, be evaluated?
It was a time when Soyeonsim was locked in thought for a long time.
Kurleung!
The sudden sound of thunder startled her.
“Whoa.”
Seo-ryang exhaled as he held out his fist. Suddenly, his body was covered with sweat.
“done. We can do it this way.”
“Confucius.”
“yes? Ah, yes.”
“Could that be… … .”
Soyeonshim swallowed his saliva.
“Is it the Heavenly Demon Thunderstorm?”
“uh? Do you know?”
“I have to know.”
A mysterious expression cast in surprise.
“Because my main skill is thunderclap.”
“… … uh?”
“… … .”
“Have you mastered the lightning fist?”
“yes.”
Seo Liang narrowed his eyes. Judging from the slender body and flexible magic, I thought Jang Gong (掌功), who is good at linking ceremony, was the main weapon.
How did you learn such strong and heavy martial arts?
“Today’s conversation must be interesting in many ways.”
Soyeonshim’s eyes sparkled.
“Would you like to play lightly after I explain the reason for my visit?”
