Episode 131
The price of greed (1)
“What do you think? “Does it taste good?”
“Yes, good.”
Moyong-gun burst into laughter.
“Fresh seafood from the beach would have been pretty good too. However, I still like meat more than seafood.”
“I see.”
Prince Mo Yong looked at Mo Yong Woo with proud eyes.
Even while Mo Yong-woo ate this delicious food, his expression did not change at all.
I wasn’t pretending it didn’t taste good. For Mo Yong-woo, food was nothing more or less than intake for the proper functioning of the body.
Mo Yong-woo was ‘trained’ like that. Keep your body in tip-top shape at any time.
Even while serving as the head of the Zhejiang branch, he did not lose his warrior attitude. Prince Mo Yong thought that Mo Yong Woo was amazing.
“By the way, are you still learning the Sohwangjingi (燒荒眞氣)?”
“That’s right.”
“Tsk, looking at your energy, it seems like it’s been quite a while since you became prosperous.”
“A martial artist must continue to persevere even after achieving great success. In that respect, even the lesser emperor was far away.”
“Of course it is. However, Xiaohuangjingi is a martial art that cannot fill even half of four bowls. “You have come this far because of your outstanding qualities and efforts. If it had been anyone else, you would not have grown to that level.”
Moyong, who was impressed, took out four thick books from under the table.
“I wrote this myself this morning. From now on, practice these martial arts skills.”
“What is this?”
“I know it when I see it.”
Mo Yong-woo looked at the brochures.
After a moment, his eyes widened.
“Isn’t this the Jiangon Wuhai (乾坤武解)?”
“Yes. It’s the main family’s knowledge. “It is a teaching that is not even taught in the first half of the book except by a few selected geniuses other than successors.”
Mo Yong-woo’s eyes trembled.
Moyong-gun burst out laughing as he saw his youngest child like that. Even though he was always gentle and polite, he was still an unmanned person.
“You said it? “When I become the Murim lord, I will hand over the family name to you.”
“….”
“With your talent, you will be able to reach greatness within ten years. “No one in the family will be able to object to you taking over the family throne.”
“…thank you.”
Mo Yong-woo gathered his pounding heart.
“I will make it mine within five years.”
“what? ha ha ha!”
Moyong liked the youngest’s generous answer.
Of course it has to be like this. The will to outpace rather than chase is easy to say, but only a handful of people actually do it.
Prince Mo Yong had no doubt that Mo Yong Woo would achieve success in Gaju Science faster than anyone else.
“And I have something else to tell you.”
“Please speak.”
“You’re getting married…”
That was then.
“Matriarch. “It’s Baekpung Danju.”
“Um, what’s going on?”
“It is said that the eldest son of Byeoksan Yeonga came to see the head of the family. What should I do?”
Mo Yong-gun’s eyes sparkled.
“Yeonhojeong?”
Mo Yong-woo was greatly surprised. And he didn’t even try to hide his surprise.
Mo Yong asked.
“Do you know Yeonhojeong too?”
Mo Yong-woo answered calmly.
“Isn’t this the late Jisoo of the recently famous Wall Coral Lake?”
“Late index…. Yes, late index.”
“But why did he tell my brother…?”
Prince Moyong shook his head.
“You should know by now. “What a scary guy he is.”
“…?”
“Although he is young, his martial arts skills are already above that of the elders of the six generations of the nine generations of one party. And he has the will and resourcefulness to rival mine.”
“…!”
“Martial arts, resourcefulness, guts and execution skills. He is another genius who is not lacking in any aspect. “I’ve met countless talented people, but I’ve never seen a monster as big as him.”
It was extremely highly rated. Mo Yong-woo was purely surprised that such an evaluation came from his brother’s mouth.
Moyong-gun smiled.
“In a way, I might be a good match for you. “Of course, if you are ruthless enough.”
“….”
“Wow, that was a lot of pointless talk. “Let’s talk about the rest later.”
“All right.”
Mo Yong-woo stood up and bowed his head.
“I received the military service gratefully.”
“okay. “I have great expectations.”

Moyong-gun shouted out the door.
“Please stop by.”
Sigh.
The door opened and Yeon Ho-jeong came in.
For a moment, sparks flew from the eyes of Yeon Ho-jeong and Mo Yong-woo as their gazes collided.
Yeon Ho-jeong slightly lowered his head. Then Mo Yong-woo also slightly bowed his head and passed him.
“It’s been a while.”
“okay.”
“Sit there. “I guess I’ll have to get back in the car.”
“it’s okay. “Drink a little while ago and come back.”
“Huh, is that so?”
thud.
As soon as the door closed, Yeon Ho-jeong asked.
“Who are you?”
“hmm?”
“The one who just left.”
Moyong suddenly became curious. What is Yeon Ho-jeong’s first impression of Mo Yong-woo?
“What do you think? Does it look okay?”
“How can you know someone you haven’t even had a conversation with?”
“Hehe, I’m just curious about what your first impression was. “I’d like you to answer.”
Yeon Ho-jeong tilted his head.
“I don’t think I’m a person worthy of sitting with the matriarch.”
“hmm?”
“He’s very good at martial arts, but his personality seems a bit soft.”
Indeed, this guy’s eyes are not ordinary.
Moyong smiled and spoke honestly.
“Good to see. “He is a child with outstanding talent in many areas.”
“That’s surprising. “I thought he was someone who valued a ruthless mind more than talent.”
“Hehehe! “Isn’t that up to me?”
Moyong-gun, who quenched his thirst with tea, asked.
“So, what brought you to visit me in broad daylight?”
“You know, right?”
Moyong grinned.
“why? “Are you so suspicious that I recommended you to be the head of a combat unit?”
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.
“It was so outright suspicious that I was worried that it might be pure favor.”
“Hehehe!”
Yeon Ho-jeong asked directly.
“What position have you been promised?”
“hmm?”
“Once the Murim Alliance is established, what position will the head of the family occupy?”
“Huh, I don’t know about that either. “At least I don’t think I can become a leader.”
“Do you intend to serve as the head of an organization that oversees combat units?”
Moyong just smiled.
Although both eyes were bright blue.
“….”
After a moment of silence, Yeon Ho-jeong shook his head.
“There’s no need to overdo it already, right?”
“Is it impossible?”
“You made a great contribution to ousting the Myeong family, so it seems like you literally have the luxury of riding a horse, but what would you do if you ran without looking left or right and stumbled over some weeds?”
“I haven’t lived a life so easy that I stumble over weeds.”
“So do you plan to keep pushing forward like this?”
“Of course. “My dream is just beginning.”
“Are you confident?”
“The future is something no one can know. “I can only do my best in my position.”
Moyong-gun chuckled.
“Isn’t that what life is like?”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes deepened.
‘There is a part of me that believes in it.’
Mr. Moyong is not alone. It was clear that he had joined hands with some of the six great powers of the nine factions.
‘Already in this short period of time? It’s not normal either.’
Moyong-gun tilted his head.
“Why are you looking at me so intently?”
“….”
“If you came here to find out the truth about me, I have nothing else to say. “It’s just a shame that talented people are wasted.”
“Now, you are trying to forcefully place a young man who has not yet reached his terms and is in a position of great responsibility.”
“Age and skill are two different things. “You have fully proven your abilities by dealing with the Nine Zhou Ming family and capturing Ming Heo-lin.”
“….”
“Is there nothing more to say?”
“well.”
“If you have nothing to say, let’s just leave.”
“Independent army.”
“hmm?”
Yeon Ho-jeong relaxed his expression.
“You’ve already recommended me, so you probably won’t be able to remove me again. “Even if I think about my father’s reputation, I don’t think I should do that.”
“What do you want to say?”
“The combat unit that I will head will operate as an independent army. Although they belong to the Murim League, they are not allowed to be used as flowers in greenhouses. They are free to roam the fields, but when a major incident occurs in Gangho’s martial forest, they take on the character of an independent organization that operates under the judgment of the leader.”
“…?”
“Of course, excessive neglect is no different from self-indulgence. The only person who can give us orders is our leader. “If a separate decision-making body is established, it may be possible to move according to the opinion of the majority.”
“Hehehe!”
Moyong-gun laughed as if it were absurd.
“Did you really think I would grant your request?”
“Why not?”
“Of course not. Even if I had such feelings, I am only the head of a single family. “I can’t proceed with such a thing on my own.”
“This is our third meeting, but we know each other pretty well. “Right?”
“I’ve thought about it for a while, but I think your mannerisms are too rude to just tolerate and listen to.”
“Please take off that cumbersome mask and talk.”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s pupils turned blue.
The color of Byeoknajingi, which was normally so beautiful, looked particularly eerie today.
“You can do it, right?”
“….”
“You and I don’t know each other’s limits yet. But you know this one thing. “I’m not so incompetent that I can’t even use that much power.”
Mo Yong-gun’s expression became cold.
The true face of the ruthless and ambitious man was there, shown to Yeon Ho-jeong for the first time.
“There’s nothing you can’t do if you put your mind to it. But why should I give you such power? “I am not a philanthropist who does good things for others with good intentions.”
“That’s why it’s like this.”
“Let’s bounce the abacus one more time, shall we?”
“What is your relationship with the Jeomchang faction?”
Mo Yong-gun’s expression hardened.
“What do you mean?”
“I may have told you before. “If you want to use someone, use someone with a big mouth.”
“…?!”
“If your intention was to raise awareness, you succeeded brilliantly. “Thanks to you, I stayed indoors for a couple of months and did nothing but swing an axe.”
“….”
“Don’t you say, Saeongjima is the master of life? You hit me hard, now I have to hit me too. “If I polish that arrow you shot well, I think I can try firing it again from here.”
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled brightly.
“Is it okay for me to shoot an arrow named Dream in your chest? Or can I just use the Jeomchangpa as a target and shoot it? Order according to your taste. “I’m in charge of cooking.”
Mo Yong-gun’s eyes trembled.
He realized that Yeon Ho-jeong was not lying. Even if it is a lie, it cannot be ignored as long as the name ‘Dream’ is mentioned.
“Are you holding on?”
“They are kept in prison. “It was very damaged.”
Mo Yong said in a cold voice.
“Even if we send him to the fortune-telling faction, will he be able to have any influence on the country? “If he was that kind of guy, I wouldn’t have sent him.”
“I heard you are using the tried-and-true Four Blades technique?”
“…!!”
“I guess you didn’t know. “Why don’t you tell me?”
Prince Moyong’s face was noticeably distorted.
Yeon Ho-jeong said in a cheerful tone.
“My stake is ready. Bring the abacus.”
