Episode 32. Necessity named coincidence (4)
“I wanted something.”
It was a strange word. So Yeon-sim tilted her head.
“You mean you’ve changed your mind now?”
“Mmm.”
After stroking his chin for a moment, Seo Liang nodded.
“Actually, I’m worried, but I’m just going to put it down.”
“Then, what Confucius said is that you tried to get something instead of handing me the mysterious martial art, but now I won’t.”
“That’s right.”
“Are you saying you’ll give me this precious ballot for free?”
“yes.”
He said it as if he couldn’t understand it.
“Why are you doing me this favor?”
“hmm… … It’s really complicated to tell you.”
Seo Liang scratched his head. It was a face that left embarrassment, relief, and a little regret.
Even in the midst of surprise, So Yeon-sim did not miss his expression. And even the sincerity of that expression.
Seo Liang asked after thinking for a while.
“The one with the coin infestation.”
“yes.”
“Since he is a precious person to Won-ju, he must have tried to get a chrysanthemum.”
So Yeon-sim did not answer. It was an unspoken affirmation.
“Well, I wouldn’t have done this if he had harmed me or if he was a garbage person, but Wonju isn’t that kind of person.”
“What is that… … .”
“If I didn’t know, I wouldn’t know, but since I did, I don’t want to trade with people’s lives.”
“… … !”
“I feel like I’m losing a bit, but as I said, I left out the core structure. therefore… … .”
Seo Liang licked his lips.
“Well, I’ll pray for the recovery of my precious person.”
“… … .”
So Yeon-sim’s face was stained with embarrassment. I couldn’t tell whether this was a conversation with the Three Gongs of the Protestant religion or a newbie merchant with a weak heart.
Xi Liang sighed inwardly.
‘Damn it, what kind of stupid thing is this?’
The human mind is a very strange thing. Even if reason says it shouldn’t, if you feel bad about it, you keep stopping.
So is this case.
It is a life that has lived the rest of its life and died without leaving anything behind. Unsurprisingly, he hated his job deeply.
My life is more important than anyone else, but I have no desire to destroy other people’s lives. I pursued individualism, but I did not want to be a selfish person.
There was a decisive reason why I hated the job of salsu. Because I had to extend my life by hurting someone I didn’t even know the name of, let alone a grudge against.
One such experience is enough. I don’t know if I’m in danger right now, but I didn’t want to play with the life of an unknown person.
‘It’s embarrassing anyway, so it’ll remain in my heart.’
Let’s go as our heart tells us, even if it’s regrettable right now, rather than constantly getting caught in our heart and suddenly becoming distressed.
“Confucius.”
“Tell me.”
“Are you serious?”
“On a moonlit night, I even laid out alcohol, so would you tell a lie that would be caught anyway, then?”
He said it with a face that didn’t understand.
“You’re doing me this kind of favor because you’re not feeling well?”
“That’s right, because it is.”
“If you don’t like the deal, shouldn’t you just not do the deal at all?”
“… … uh?”
For an instant, Xu Liang’s face went blank.
Seeing that face, So Yeon-shim smiled without even realizing it.
“uh… … That’s right, but… … .”
“… … .”
“Right. I see.”
Xu Liang looked down at the glass with a shy face, 8! It was emptied with a sound.
“It’s okay, so take it.”
“Are you not feeling well? Confucius-nim, have you never seen that person?”
“It’s a world where even people you’ve never seen are killed, so how about saving them?”
It’s not wrong, but I didn’t expect that words like that would come out of the mouth of the Sam Gongja, who was called a tyrant.
Xu Liang smiled.
“And, thanks to Wonju, I feel a lot better.”
“Are you feeling better?”
“I didn’t know you were sitting with him. It must be cool to have a blow to the face of the guy who was sharpening a dagger behind him.”
So Yeon-sim’s face hardened.
Fighting bloody battles in the dark between successor candidates was a natural thing in the magic arts. No, it will be similar anywhere in the world.
But if you have an idea, no candidate will openly say it. Because if you don’t do it, the words will spin around and become an arrow to yourself and fly away.
In the previous position, one could think that it was a war of nerves between candidates, but now there are no similar candidates.
‘What the hell… … .’

Is it mindless, or is it a trap?
‘trap? Highly calculated?’
So Yeon-shim’s eyes narrowed.
‘Is there something else I’m aiming for?’
Come to think of it, there were a couple of strange things.
Even if people change, there is a degree. Although she never held a private position, she was well aware of the nature of the three princes.
A cold, vicious, and unforgiving temper. The owner of a terrible desire that is never satisfied unless it is first place.
Such a person is now showing all the loopholes that are loopholes. People always change when there is an opportunity, but isn’t this a bit harsh?
“Are you anxious?”
My heart flinched at the sudden question.
Seo Liang smiled.
“It seems that you have never received an unconditional favor.”
“… … It’s not like it’s not there, but it’s never been so out of the blue.”
“Well, I guess so too.”
Seo-liang continued talking as he filled his glass.
“If you feel uncomfortable, please spread plain side dishes often in the dining room. Isn’t Hwanheewon also managing food materials?”
“… … .”
“It tastes good, but the smell is too strong. Please think about people who eat lightly.”
So Yeon-sim hurriedly came to his senses.
As he emptied his glass, Seo Liang’s face was calm. His prayers were quiet and his eyes were clear.
So Yeon-sim, who had been staring at him blankly, sighed.
“It is inconvenient.”
“It seemed so.”
“To avoid inconvenience, I should hand over something too, right?”
“If you say that, I hate to receive it.”
“May I ask why?”
“It’s embarrassing because it’s just disgusting.”
I really don’t know. His tone is light, but his expression shows sincerity. However, it was unlikely that someone who would be a disciple of the religious leader would do such a favor without reason.
“I want to hear it first. What was Confucius trying to ask of me?”
“I’ve already closed the business, so what’s the point?”
“Because there may be ingredients left.”
Seo Liang scratched his head.
“I was just trying to get a school organization chart and personal relationship chart.”
“… … ?”
So Yeon-sim tilted her head.
“Organizational charts and character relationships… … Are you talking?”
“yes.”
“Why… … ?”
“Because they have their own reasons.”
So Yeon-sim asked the question differently.
“Of course, there is a need for it, so you want to trade, but… … I wonder why you thought you would ask me for that.”
“You can’t go to the military department, can you?”
So Yeon-sim agreed with that one word.
And he seemed to know why the Three Gongja wanted it.
It was to obtain information from a third person’s perspective on how this religion was seen through the eyes of others rather than one’s own.
“It’s okay, so please prepare paper, pencil, and ink. Or will you just memorize it? I don’t care anyway.”
So Yeon-shim, who had been looking at him, turned her head.
Then, a masked man appeared from afar. It was Yeon-il (蓮一), So Yeon-shim’s best confidant.
“Prepare the paper, pencil and ink.”
“yes.”
Squeak.
As the days passed like smoke, Xu Liang smiled.
“It’s a stealth skill of a considerable level.”
“I was lucky enough to get some decent stealth.”
“Are you also cooking the cow?”
“no. I have to… … .”
“Good job. It’s like a stealth technique that came from the north. It seems useful right away, but as time goes on, it will make the demonia muddy.”
“… … yes?”
Seo Liang shrugged.
“The original city stealth technique itself is not a martial art that goes well with magic. Fundamentally, stealth is the martial arts of contraction, and magic arts is the martial arts of expansion.”
“… … !”
“A high-level stealth technique contracts Jinki very delicately. Of course, it suppresses the magic power that is frantic to expand and diverge. Would you be able to digest it if you wore a tight waistband and ate rice?”
“that… … .”
“If you care about your subordinates, tell them to throw them away right away. It’s a hundred times better to train magic at that time.”
So Yeon-shim clenched her lips. She had never heard of a group like that before.
Xu Liang frowned and set the glass down.
“Well, I’m not even drunk, but it feels like stabbing my stomach. I can’t even drink a hundred weeks now.”
The constant grumbling of Seoryang.
A subtle demonic energy soared from So Yeon Shim’s body, who was staring blankly at him.
Margie can’t even read one or two moves above. However, Xi Liang was able to read the flow of demonic energy she shed.
‘He’s sending an electric tone.’
After a while, Yeon-il brought paper, pencil and ink and a thick bundle of papers.
So Yeon-shim spread a piece of paper in front of Seo-ryang and said, grinding ink.
“How can there be any flaws in the martial arts bestowed by Confucius, but the situation is not going well, so I have no choice but to go through the verification process. We ask for your understanding.”
“That’s what’s normal.”
“And from my point of view, if, as Confucius said, maximizing martial arts is correct… … .”
Squeak.
She placed the inkstone next to the paper and touched the pile of papers next to it.
“We will provide classification documents for the organization chart and relationship chart of the school.”
Xi Liang’s eyes deepened.
“It’s not an ordinary sheep.”
“It has no choice but to be. The reason is that the Hwanheewon side investigated the characteristics and secrets of each person in detail by item.”
Seo Liang was surprised.
“You said you did your own research?”
“yes.”
“There’s no way he did it secretly every time… … Did people allow it?”
“If you want to run a household, you have to know the basics of what a person likes and dislikes.”
“Hoo.”
“There is also quite a bit of false information, such as what I inferred and what was just a rumor floating around. You may find it difficult to see.”
That’s what he said, but it was the content written and decided by the Lord of Joy in the world. It could be said to be a treasure of considerable value.
That is to say.
‘It must mean that the person trying to save is someone who can take this level of risk.’
I tried to finish with a good heart, and I received this treasure. I felt strange.
Seo Liang, who had been quietly gazing at Soyeonsim, raised his brush.
“I’m not blackmailing you, so you don’t have to worry.”
* * *
So Yeon-sim looks at the back of Seo-ryang and Ma Dong-pil, who are moving away.
Day after day, he quietly expressed his concern.
“Lord Won.”
“huh.”
“It could be dangerous.”
If that information is passed into the hands of others, it may be subjected to political pressure, if not attack.
So Yeon-shim smiled.
“I got a much bigger gift than that. We need to show sincerity on this side as well.”
“… … .”
“and… … .”
So Yeon-sim, who had opened her mouth a few times, quickly turned around.
“You are tired. I need to rest for today.”
“yes.”
she looked up at the sky The thick full moon seemed much brighter than usual.
Could it be that the light is cold? Her eyes narrowed thinly.
“How are you going to move?”
I thought I knew everything about the main characters in the school, but I met a person who destroyed that confidence.
A person who has a hard time recognizing something. That’s why she took some risks and made the information public. It was because it seemed that the three-gongja would be understood only when this level of hand was shown.
After that, the contents of the three Gongja written in that document will be completely revised.
“Oh, and every day.”
“Please tell me.”
“I’d better throw away the stealth skills I’m learning now.”
“yes?”
“It has nothing to do with it other than to surprise anyone anyway.”
“… … I take orders.”
