Episode 124
Moment of Decision (6)
Autumn has passed and winter is just around the corner.
“Slowly…”
The blowing wind was very cold. Now, even though I was wearing fur clothes, my stomach felt cool.
“I guess I should get ready.”
Mo Yong-woo’s eyes, looking up at the sky full of dark clouds, were filled with some kind of determination.
“This.”
“Yes, branch manager.”
“Please take good care of the branch until I return.”
Egan’s eyes lit up.
“Are you sure you want to go alone?”
Mo Yong-woo smiled.
“I lived alone and lonely my whole life until I met you. “It’s nothing new.”
“okay.”
“Furthermore, I declared that I would overhaul my family, but that does not mean the Zhejiang branch cannot do its job. “If we do something wrong, many people will starve.”
“….”
“Please take good care of it.”
“I will do my best to manage it well before you come back.”
“Your administrative skills are much better than mine. “I have no doubt about it.”
Mo Yong-woo picked up the treasured sword hanging on the wall.
‘…’
I felt a faintness in his eyes as he looked down at the sword.
“See you later then.”
“Please take care of your body.”
Mo Yong-woo, who left the branch alone, went straight to the overland route.
Why? I know it’s faster to go by boat, but my feet told me so, so I chose the land route. And Mo Yong-woo did not try to change his choice.
After half an hour of traveling by land, he was able to confirm that his judgment was correct.
“I never thought we’d meet on this road.”
There was surprise in Mo Yong-woo’s eyes.
“Yeonje (燕弟)?”
Yeon Ho-jeong frowned.
“Let’s talk about the naming convention again later. “It’s been a while since I heard it, so it doesn’t seem real.”
A look of joy appeared on Mo Yong-woo’s face.
There are people you don’t become attached to no matter how many times you meet, while there are people you become attached to even if you only see them once.
For Mo Yong-woo, Yeonhojeong was strictly the latter. Maybe it was because he was reflecting on his past self while looking at Yeonhojeong.
“Did you have anything to see in Zhejiang? “Coincidences happen like this.”
“What is there for me to see in Zhejiang? “Except meeting you.”
Mo Yong-woo’s eyes widened.
“Are you here to see me?”
“okay.”
“Haha, you said you would meet us when our first operation was successful, so how did you come without contacting us?”
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.
“If you still haven’t made up your mind, I came to tell you something. Even if you make up your mind, you still have something else to say.”
“What should I say?”
Yeon Ho-jeong looked into Mo Yong-woo’s eyes.
His eyes were shining like morning stars. The sky was dark, but the determination that radiated from his body and his unique caring atmosphere had a charm that made those who encountered him feel good.
“I’m thinking of going under Lord Moyong.”
“Yeah, I think so.”
“Thank you for following my thoughts.”
“I should be more grateful. After meeting my brother, I realized how passive I had been living. “It’s all thanks to you.”
Yeon Ho-jeong shook his head.
“You just needed a trigger. He was a person who could make the right decision at any time. “I wish I had more confidence in myself.”
Mo Yong-woo burst into laughter.
“Why are so many good things being said today?”
“What’s wrong with seeing it a few times?”
“ha ha ha!”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s sharp tone of speech is truly endearing. Mo Yong-woo felt his heart become lighter.
“So, do you have something to say to me?”
“….”
“Yeonje?”
It was then.
Bullfight!
With a roar like the sound of a drum, Yeon Ho-jeong’s body was crushed at a frightening speed.
Mo Yong-woo’s eyes sparkled.
Hahaha!
The huge light dragon was blocked by Mo Yong-wu’s treasured sword.
The response speed was dazzling. But Yeonhojeong’s attack did not end there.

Yeon Ho-jeong, who gathered his strength in the Gwangryongbu with his mysterious movements, mercilessly attacked Mo Yong-woo.
Whirly! Damn it!
Mo Yong-woo repeatedly retreated and blocked Yeon Ho-jeong’s attack.
Mo Yong-woo’s martial arts ability to block all the attacks with a single sword was truly miraculous, as his attack power was so strong that rocks were split with a single blow and even stone walls collapsed due to destructive winds.
How long did the attack last?
Flash!
Mo Yong-woo’s eyes sparkled.
‘has disappeared?!’
Yeonhojeong disappeared in an instant. It was completely lost from sight.
At that time, I had the illusion that strong sunlight was pouring down from a sky full of dark clouds.
‘stomach!’
Mo Yong-woo raised his head.
‘…!!’
Yeon Ho-jeong’s body, which was descending at an alarming speed, was brimming with red flames. The gorgeous and eerie firearm was spread out like a curtain behind Yeon Ho-jeong’s shoulder, making it look like a pair of wings.
Overwhelming firepower. A terrifying life.
Mo Yong-woo’s sword instinctively moved according to the sword’s direction.
Blah blah blah!
It was a tremendous feat.
I was swinging that heavy weapon like a master of the quick sword, but if I made a mistake, I would have almost lost the sword.
Wooooow!
Mo Yong-woo’s sword unleashed a fierce sword strike.
Flash!
The blue sword spirit gathered the pouring fire and threw it high into the sky.
Sarah.
Yeonhojeong’s new brother stepped down ten steps in front of Mo Yongwoo.
‘hmm.’
Mo Yong-wu felt the hand holding the sword tremble slightly. The shock was not fully resolved.
That wasn’t all.
My back was stiff and my knees were sore. Because he received a series of fast and heavy attacks, the strain on his body became extreme.
‘It’s an amazing martial arts skill.’
This was the first time I actually hung out with Yeon Ho-jeong.
It was truly a great feat. No, it was a much more powerful martial arts attack than I thought.
The reason is because I knew that Yeon Ho-jeong did not use his full power.
“Did Woo-hyung make a mistake with his younger brother?”
Yeon Ho-jeong chuckled.
“I didn’t make any mistakes, but after exchanging a few moves just now, it’s a bit frustrating.”
“Are you feeling frustrated? why?”
“Why don’t you attack once when you can easily counterattack?”
Mo Yong-woo smiled.
“How can an older brother point a sword at his younger brother?”
“Tsk.”
“However, my brother’s martial arts skills were so strong that I had no choice but to draw my sword. “I don’t want to die either.”
Yeon Ho-jeong, who was quietly looking at Mo Yong-woo, nodded.
“Looking at it, it doesn’t seem to be rusting.”
“Was it because you were afraid that Woo-hyung Lee’s skills could not be trusted?”
“How long has it been since we had a proper fight?”
“Are you talking about actual combat?”
“okay.”
“Well, I don’t remember.”
“For a martial artist, there is no study better than actual practice. “No matter how much I looked, I couldn’t sense the prosecutor’s unique spirit, so I tried to swat him away, but luckily he didn’t have the skills to get me anywhere.”
Even if you have strong martial arts skills, you can go to the next world with a single sneak attack.
Mo Yong-woo was different. Although it had been a long time since I experienced combat, my intuition was still usable. Even if it is not actual combat, the years spent practicing martial arts every day are what made Mo Yong-woo what he is today.
“It’s not very good, but it’s not bad either. “It’ll be okay.”
Slurp.
Mo Yong-woo caught the sword.
“So what do you want to say to this brother Woo?”
“Hold on tight. “If you’re going to become Moyonggun’s person, be sure to do so.”
“I don’t think that’s what I came here to say.”
Yeon Ho-jeong nodded.
“I too am going to the Murim Alliance.”
Mo Yong-woo was surprised.
“Yeonje is also going to the Murim Alliance? Are you sure you want to join me?”
“Illusions are also common.”
“if?”
Yeon Ho-jeong looked far to the northwest.
It was in the direction where the Murim League was located.
“Early in the new year, the heads of the nine factions and the six generations will gather to discuss the creation of the Murim Alliance. “I decided to leave in five days.”
“then?”
“Yes, I will go to the Murim Alliance with my father.”
A look of joy appeared on Mo Yong-woo’s face.
“Then again…”
“I’m sorry, but my family is not as cold-hearted as yours. It’s peaceful. Do you have time to meet in that big place?”
“…Okay.”
“Well… we can meet, but most likely we will face each other as enemies.”
Mo Yong-woo’s face, which was full of laughter, suddenly hardened.
“The enemy…”
“Yes, the enemy. Of course, you can only become a worthy enemy if you truly fall under Moyonggun’s control.”
“Right.”
“okay.”
The two people looked at each other with their mouths closed.
The person who broke the silence was Mo Yong-woo.
“Did you hear what the Moyong family warned me about?”
“okay.”
“Yeonje was right. “If I hadn’t thought of going directly to the head of the family, he would have been watching me constantly.”
“Because Mr. Moyong is not a fool.”
“And thanks to Yeonje, who read my brother’s personality and intentions, I was able to enter the world like this.”
“I don’t want to hear another compliment that doesn’t work.”
“Be nervous.”
Yeon Ho-jeong blinked.
“I didn’t know you would say something like that? “Be nervous.”
“I am a person who makes many mistakes. “I will try not to, but I think there will always be a moment that surprises you.”
“You’re laughing. When you work, mistakes are bound to happen. “Of course you have to be that nervous.”
“Just know this one thing. From now on, even if I make a mistake, I don’t plan on apologizing to Yeonje. “Because it is more beneficial to move forward while feeling sorry for Yeonje.”
“Hoo?”
“So I apologize in advance. “I’m sorry.”
Yeon Ho-jeong grinned.
“What a wonderful mindset. “I hope that your heart will not waver.”
Mo Yong-woo took the reigns with moderation.
“Thank you so much. “I hope you continue to do well.”
“Me too.”
So Mo Yong-woo set off first.
The sky was full of dark clouds, but somehow the sun seemed to shine on the path Mo Yong-woo was walking along.
Yeon Ho-jeong, who was watching his back from afar, quenched his appetite.
“This is it. I think I understand why my father is angry at me for not sending him a greeting letter. “It’s like looking at a three-year-old child.”
At that time, Mukbi appeared from behind a large tree.
Unlike in the past, she looked very healthy with her hair tied up.
“I heard you are ten years older than the senior. “But what kind of kid is he?”
“You’re five or six years older than me, so you’re like a kid.”
“What makes me look like a kid?”
“You always seem like a child.”
“Tsk.”
Mukbi took something out from his belt.
“Eat this.”
“What?”
“It’s a rice ball.”
“Don’t you have beef jerky? Beef jerky? “I want to eat meat.”
“Who are you calling a kid?”
“You would have to have choked on rice balls before you could say something like that. “No, but on a journey that takes several days, why did you pack rice balls instead of beef jerky?”
“Because the rice tastes better.”
“You have unique tastes anyway.”
“So you’re not going to eat it?”
“Give it to me. hungry.”
“You’re being picky when it comes to eating.”
“You’ve really grown up a lot.”
“That’s not what you say to an adult.”
The two ate the rice balls, laughing and chatting for a while.
* * *
“Where are you going again?”
“….”
“That b*stard is getting more and more tricksy. “Why don’t you come out right away?”
“Oh please. The former ten-style and the latter eight-style! “You have mastered all of the Eighteen Chapters of the Strong Dragon!”
“I just learned it, but I didn’t practice it properly. not there yet. “Come in right now.”
“no, I do not want.”
“You’re really going to die.”
“Master! The world is facing upheaval, so why should we stay here and die? “I should go out now and see what’s going on in the world!”
“The kids ask for information on their own. “Stop talking bullshit and come back quickly.”
“no, I do not want. “I will go.”
“You keep telling me where you’re going, you crazy b*stard!”
“I’m going to the Murim Alliance!”
“You go there and do something!”
“Go and join the Murim League… Huh? But Master isn’t going?”
“Hmm. “I called to say I wasn’t going.”
“….”
“uh? what? hey! Where! Don’t you come out quickly?! When did that b*stard learn the Wanli Chufeng to that level? her! “Now that I’m older, I can’t even keep up. When that damn b*stard comes back, I’m going to make him a cripple.”
