Episode 110
You have to raise your head to see the sky (4)
Even as his body froze in surprise, Mo Yong-woo was sure of one thing.
He is a difficult person to deal with.
He was not a great man to be looked down upon because of his young age. The spirit radiating from his voice and his brilliantly shining eyes proved that he was a great master.
An indescribable shock was etched on Mo Yong-woo’s face.
‘Why am I only seeing this now?’
An honest question occurred to him, and at the same time he found an answer.
‘Because he is the grand duke of Byeoksan Yeonga.’
Gwangpungsa Temple’s wall coral reef.
A passionate young master who tried to take on the Kuju Myeongga, once renowned as the best family in the world, single-handedly.
A rare warrior who withstood the military power of a famous family with a fiery spirit and bravery as outstanding as a tiger.
That was the impression Yeonhojeong had on the world. And as Mo Yong-woo heard rumors about him, he was able to picture him in his head even though he had never met him.
‘Wrong.’
Yes.
It was wrong and completely different. Only now did Mo Yong-woo realize that the Yeonhojeong he imagined and the real Yeonhojeong were worlds apart.
‘He is an extraordinary person. It’s so extraordinary that it feels out of place!’
To what extent is it extraordinary?
He was an extraordinary great man who even seriously said that he was the best in the world.
“Standing at the pinnacle of Baekdo martial arts? “What does that mean?”
“Literally.”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes deepened.
“The White Island Murim Alliance. “I want you to become the leader of the Murim Alliance and take control of the world.”
Mo Yong-woo gaped.
This is a person who comes to you unexpectedly and is prone to spouting shocking words. Mo Yong-woo realized that his cognitive ability was having a hard time keeping up with Yeon Ho-jeong’s words.
Looking at Mo Yong-woo’s face stained with shock, Yeon Ho-jeong smiled without even realizing it.
‘That’s naive.’
The facial expression is overwhelming. Although he possesses a wealth of wealth and wealth, and has an eye for seeing through people’s shortcomings, he has a gentle personality.
People like this are hard to find. While serving as the head of the Zhejiang branch, he must have been exposed to a lot of the chaos of the world, but he maintains an honest and honest personality.
His nature is gentle and kind. Although he lacks decisiveness, he is too attractive to turn a blind eye to that one lack.
“Suddenly… even if you say that…”
Yeon Ho-jeong nodded.
“I’m sorry for embarrassing you. “It was a joke.”
Mo Yong-woo said with a face that said yes.
“It was a joke. Are you not interested in becoming a Murim lord? It’s an overly dangerous statement, so if you go somewhere else…”
“What are you talking about?”
“…?”
“The reason I said it was a joke was that I would receive Prince Moyong’s apology through you. “There is no change in my opinion that you should become the Murim lord.”
Mo Yong-woo said in a shocked voice.
“You really meant it?”
“exactly.”
At first, I tried to approach it slowly.
I tried to build friendships and work through various issues. I planned to naturally create friendship and fuel his curiosity to become the Murim lord.
But Yeon Ho-jeong gave up that idea.
I am not a person who can be influenced by forced friendships or anything like that. Furthermore, it was something that did not fit Yeon Ho-jeong’s personality.
In any case, if they had identified him as the leader of the Murim lord, they would just run after him, even if it meant grabbing him by the hair.
When you think you can’t do anything, when you think there will be more harm than good.
It doesn’t matter if you give up right away.
‘If you look at various things, you will only miss out on good talent. Now is the time to be bold.’
Mo Yong-woo shook his head.
“I’ll pretend I didn’t hear anything.”
“Don’t you like it?”
“It’s not a matter of whether you like it or not. Murim lord? That’s nonsense. “I think he was playing a serious prank to lighten the mood.”
It was then.
Tsutsutsutsu.
Mo Yong-woo flinched.
Wooooow.
A shimmering aura emanated from Yeon Ho-jeong’s body.
It was a frighteningly powerful force. An energy as hot as fire, as daunting as a storm, and as desperate as an overflowing flood, ensnared Mo Yong-wu.
‘Sigh!’
Mo Yong-woo’s eyes trembled.
Yeon Ho-jeong said in a cold voice.
“Do I seem like a leisurely person who would run a thousand miles away to play pranks?”
“…!!”
“If it really looked that way in your eyes, I don’t have anything more to say. “I think I saw the wrong person.”
It emits a terrifying aura and says that it looked at the wrong person.
Since the content is so shocking, it would be better to leave it as is. Mo Yong-woo thought so.
But he couldn’t turn his head away from the look in Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes.

Because of the look of disappointment cast in the blue-blue eyes of lightning.
Because he knew what it meant for a person to be disappointed by another person, Mo Yongwu could not help but open his mouth.
“I… am not the kind of person who deserves to sit in such a grand position.”
“I think so too.”
“Then why?”
“It is like that now.”
“…?!”
“Let’s stop talking about trivial things. I see potential in you. “If you are weak enough to ignore the mistakes of your flesh and blood, but tolerate them not because you are afraid, but because you are flesh and blood, I think you are perfectly suited to the position of Murim Lord.”
Mo Yong-woo’s face was full of shock.
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes deepened.
“I’ll tell you one thing. “I cannot be sure because the times have changed, but tribulation will occur in the Central Plains within the next twenty years.”
“Tribulation…?”
“Yes. The tribulation is so great that it sweeps away the entire central plain. Blood will flow like a river and death will pour like a shower. “Their power is that strong.”
Mo Yong-woo’s eyes deepened.
‘Within twenty years? them? Tribulation?’
It was just something that was difficult to understand.
If it weren’t for Yeon Ho-jeong’s confident eyes, I might have dismissed it as nonsense.
“Even just one of them is that much. If all three decide to run out, no one will be able to stop them. “At least we can’t stop it with the power of the current martial arts team.”
“three?!”
“The Three Religions of Gwangsin (狂信三敎). Those who will be the central enemy are called that.”
It was a name I had never heard of before.
Mo Yong-woo suddenly felt dizzy.
“It’s up to you whether to believe it or not. Just know this one thing. “If we don’t prepare now, I guarantee you we will never be able to stop them.”
“That…”
“Can you tell me more clearly? “It means your family will die too.”
“…!!”
Mo Yong-woo’s eyes turned blue.
Yeon Ho-jeong continued speaking in a calm voice.
“I am not a good person. I don’t feel any disturbance at the death of someone I don’t know. “But it’s a different story if my family’s life or death is at stake.”
“….”
“That’s why I came to you. “Because I know that you would be better suited to the position of Murim lord than anyone else.”
I talked about the death of my family. Now I can no longer end this conversation as a joke.
Mo Yong-woo, who was lost in thought for a moment, soon opened his mouth.
“Let’s summarize.”
“….”
“The purpose of you coming to me is to make me the Murim lord. The reason is because I am suitable as the leader you think of, and it is also to prepare for the enemies who will invade the central plains in the future. Is that right?”
“Good summary.”
“Then I hope you understand that I cannot help but feel absurd at this summary.”
“I understand. But I’m serious.”
“I know. “If you hadn’t come out so seriously, I would have broken off this conversation right away.”
There are ears everywhere in the world. The same goes for the Zhejiang branch here.
You made them all your own, but what if that’s not the case? What if an expert who is good enough to deceive one’s senses is eavesdropping on the current conversation?
Then things get complicated. Mo Yong-woo didn’t want that.
“And as you might have guessed, even if I believe you, it’s something I can’t help but worry about.”
“That’s it.”
Yeon Ho-jeong adjusted his posture.
“If you truly understand that I am serious, then that is enough. Furthermore, I just want you to know that I’m not crazy.”
“…He’s a man of harsh words.”
“I have no intention of asking you to do something that doesn’t come from your heart anyway. “I’ll just show you the world.”
“Show me the world? “What does that mean?”
“A world you don’t know. And it will show you the skills of a person who will make you a leader.”
“….”
“Make your choice later. I just want you to think about it seriously. “Think about why I came all this way and suddenly brought up something dangerous.”
Mo Yong-woo, who was watching Yeon Ho-jeong with complicated eyes, sighed.
“It’s like I’m possessed by a ghost.”
“I couldn’t help it. In the first place, I didn’t intend to meet in such a hurry. “If it weren’t for Mo Yong Yeonhwa, I would have had more time.”
For a moment, a look of surprise appeared on Mo Yong-woo’s face.
“Do you know Yeonhwa?”
“Isn’t it obvious? “They are descendants of the same six-generation family.”
“No, you mean….”
“Mo Yong-Yeonhwa is in Hangzhou. “We met at Hoseondaeheeru.”
“ah!”
“And I thought. “I was curious why Moyong Yeonhwa came here.”
“….”
“I don’t know for what reason, but there’s no need to let it interfere with what I’m doing. “That’s why I came so quickly.”
Yeon Ho-jeong read Mo Yong-woo’s expression.
“Looking at your reaction, it seems like you came well. You decided to stop by the Zhejiang branch of Moyong Lotus, right? Of course, I’m not coming to have fun. “I guess he asked me to come and see the situation in which Prince Moyong was going.”
He’s scary.
Mo Yong-woo was surprised by Yeon Ho-jeong’s insight. As if he was watching his past from the side, he was able to grasp the unfolding situation like a ghost.
An eye for martial arts and resourcefulness.
A person who has acquired everything that could not be obtained at a young age.
‘Where on earth does this monster come from?’
Yeon Ho-jeong spoke plainly.
“Do you have any thoughts of correcting your family before becoming a lord?”
“…!”
“I don’t know when Moyong Yeonhwa will come. It will take time to think about it and make a choice. “Don’t waste time and answer the questions clearly.”
“…exactly. “If I can fix my family, I can do anything.”
“Even if I have to fight against my own flesh and blood?”
“…!!”
“I’ll ask again. Do you want to set your family straight even if it means fighting with your blood relatives?”
“If that’s possible…”
Mo Yong-woo nodded with a heavy face.
“If I could, I definitely would have done it.”
The reason why we had no choice but to secretly support them, holding back tears of blood even as innocent people were dying.
It was because he had no power.
The world is scary. You cannot fight the world with only your martial arts and justice.
No matter how talented Mo Yong-wu is, he cannot face the family alone. Regardless of kinship, they are no match for power in the first place.
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled with satisfaction.
“You seem determined. “That’s a good thing.”
“But the main family…”
“How do you think I dealt with the famous family?”
“…?”
“Do you really think I am strong enough to handle all the power of the famous family? “That is only possible if you have the Thirteenth Place of the Holy Heaven.”
“Then?”
“Instead of matching my strength to my opponent, I should make my opponent match my strength.”
Yeon Ho-jeong stood up.
“Depending on how you handle the power you have, you can either take control of the situation to your liking or have it taken over by others.”
“Lord…”
“Put aside your thoughts about the leader for a moment. Anyway, if you can’t overthrow the Moyong family, it’s dangerous to sit in the position of leader.”
Yeon Ho-jeong held out his hand.
Her long, yet moderately thick fingers, like those of a woman, were covered in calluses at every joint.
“I will ask you one last question. “Do you need my help?”
Mo Yong-woo, who was looking at the hand, shook his head.
“I don’t need any help.”
“okay?”
“If it’s just a deal, I’ll do it.”
The corners of Yeon Ho-jeong’s mouth rose.
Mo Yong-woo spoke confidently.
“You can’t survive with just help. “If you help me, I will help you in return.”
“Do you really want to do that when you can get free food if you just stay still?”
“It’s nature.”
Yeon Ho-jeong nodded.
“good night.”
Only then did Mo Yong-woo hold his hand.
“Please take care of me in the future.”
“Me too.”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes lit up.
“Didn’t I tell you to get rid of the bull’s horn and give me trouble because of the Trade Federation?”
“exactly. Their representative is scheduled to come visit us around noon today…”
“What are you looking for? “I told you not to come.”
“What?”
“Aren’t you trying to coordinate between them?”
“…That’s right.”
“Instead of making them ask you to give them food, you should make them apologize and beg for forgiveness.”
Yeon Ho-jeong picked up the axe.
For some reason, Mo Yong-woo felt an eerie feeling.
“I’m waiting for you. “I’ll chase down the prey before noon. When you think you have the chance, bite the leash.”
