Episode 971
The time has come (1)
The appearance of Yeonhojeong, sitting cross-legged with a light dragon on one side, was full of majesty that no one could easily touch.
It feels majestic, yet strangely comfortable. It’s not easy to say, but it’s a prayer that doesn’t make those around you uncomfortable.
“Something…”
Oh Gu-moon muttered as he looked at Yeonhojeong located under a large tree.
“Something is different from before.”
This is the disciple that Zhong Libai, the disciple of the world, took aside countless talented people and raised him. Ogumun’s level was amazing, but his senses were not usually outstanding.
Wu Gu-wen glanced at Tang Sang-ah.
Tang Sang-ah was trimming a tree branch with a dagger.
“Dang sojeo.”
“yes.”
Tang Sang’er didn’t even look back at Ogumun. Still, it didn’t seem like it was against etiquette. This is because they became friends through many fights.
“How long have you known Sobuju Yeon?”
“It’s been a few years. why?”
“Have you received any teachings from Sobuju Yeon?”
The corners of Tang Sang-ah’s mouth rose.
“I learned a lot about life wisdom and attitude rather than martial arts.”
“He’s a young person.”
“I still have a bright future ahead of me, but having lived to this age, I realize that age is not everything.”
“Well, that’s true.”
“why? “Do you want to talk to Lord Xiao?”
Ogu-mun quenched his appetite.
“I am not an expert who has achieved equal skill with my teacher. “There must be something special about him, but since we are not close friends, it is difficult to talk to him easily.”
Dang Sang-ah put down the dagger he was cutting tree branches with and looked at Ogu-mun.
Ogumun’s profile as he looked at Yeonhojeong was tinged with vivid regret.
‘This person is also amazing.’
Since they have the best midfielder as their teacher, it is not strange that they are proud of being the best among the midfielders.
However, even though he sees a strong man of similar age who overpowers him, he does not feel jealous. Rather, I am wondering if there is something I can learn from talking with him.
Tang Sang-ah was impressed because she knew it was sincere. I thought that if the bloody martial forest was full of people like that, at least the number of local wars that would break out due to pride would be reduced by 70 percent.
“Go…” Tang Sang-
ah, who was speaking, soon closed her mouth.
I was going to just go and talk to him, but now that I think about it, Ogumun probably doesn’t know that either.
Dang Sang-ah’s gaze landed on Yeon Ho-jeong.
The figure of Yeonhojeong, sitting cross-legged and with his eyes half-opened, looked like a stone Buddha carved out of stone.
‘It feels strange somehow.’
Together, they carried out an operation to infiltrate Sejak of the Mukryongbu. Even though we didn’t do much, we felt a strong sense of familiarity and kinship with each other through that operation alone.
The name of the era at that time and the name of the era heard through rumors were the same. Yeonhojeong was always Yeonhojeong.
But now?
‘Is it because my name was put on the throne? I don’t think he would be someone who feels pressured or swayed by such a title.’
I didn’t say it, but when I first found out that Yeon Ho-jeong had been crowned Seongcheon, I was so surprised that I blacked out. It was because he could not have imagined that there would be someone of similar age to him who had already reached that level.
It felt awkward for someone I was quite close with to fly to a place so far away. Tang Sang-ah smiled bitterly and cut the tree branch again.
It was then.
Mo Yong-woo, who was standing at the edge of the cliff and watching the enemy’s movements, walked steadily towards Yeonhojeong.
The people who were pretending not to care about Yeon Ho-jeong looked at Mo Yong-woo in surprise. Because everyone felt like they shouldn’t touch him.
Of course, no one could raise their voice and stop Mo Yong-woo.
“Tsk.”
Mo Yong-woo, who sat down next to Yeonhojeong as if he had come to a familiar place, leaned his arms back and placed them on the ground. It was a posture that felt comfortable.
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes, which had been indignant, returned to their original state.
Mo Yong-woo said calmly.
“Are you okay inside?”
I don’t know the circumstances, but I know it’s different from usual.
Yeon Ho-jeong said with a smile.
“Honestly, it’s not okay, but it’s not bad either.”
“That’s enough.”
Mo Yong-woo did not ask what happened.
Instead, I blurted out this one word.
“There are more people who give for you than you think.”
Yeon Ho-jeong chuckled.
“I didn’t care before, but I’m feeling it a lot these days. “I’m just grateful.”
“It’s okay to feel grateful, but there’s no need to push yourself into a corner because of other people’s worries and expectations.”
“Of course I will. In fact, it is like that. “I’m not really a cheesy person.”
“haha.”
“You don’t deny it.”
“….”
Mo Yong-woo cleared his throat and continued calmly.
“My brother contacted me a few times.”
The older brother he spoke of meant Prince Moyong.

“What happened?”
“No, nothing is wrong. “It was hard, but I felt relieved because I was taking care of myself well.”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes widened slightly.
“Was it a call to say hello?”
“okay. “It was just a message to say hello.”
Yeon Ho-jeong was truly surprised. It was because I never thought that Prince Mo Yong would send a letter to Mo Yong Woo simply to check on his well-being.
In the first place, he had only heard that Moyong-gun had changed greatly, but as he had never seen it in person, it was difficult for him to realize the changes in Moyong-gun.
“People can change so much.”
Yeon Ho-jeong did not say that it was in front of the same Mr. Moyong. Rather, it was because he was considerate and knew that Mo Yong-woo would feel uncomfortable if he said that.
Mo Yong-woo laughed.
“That’s right. To be honest… at first, I was nervous too. “I wondered if there was something he wanted from me or something he wanted me to do.”
“If you say that, I have nothing to say.”
“But it seems sincere. The letters at the beginning of the letter were trembling slightly. “It’s clear even without looking at what kind of feeling he had when he wrote it.”
Yeon Ho-jeong imagined it. The appearance of Prince Moyong writing a letter.
He probably hesitated several times before writing the letter with a brush that left him feeling awkward. Then, as you gradually get used to it, your handwriting may have lost unnecessary force.
‘People really change this much.’
Yeon Ho-jeong, thinking of Prince Moyong, felt bitter for a moment.
‘I was hoping for that choice from you.’
More precisely, I hoped that they would join hands and use their wonderful abilities to destroy the three religions.
Of course, we are still making efforts to deal with the three schools in the long run. However, if they are with someone as powerful as Prince Moyong, the movements of the Murim League will be much sharper.
‘Well, that’s why I could trust it.’
Even if he changed his mind, he would have been suspicious if he had remained in the Murim Alliance until the end.
However, Prince Moyong chose to leave.
In a way, it was an obvious choice. He may have wanted to start anew, but as he regretted his past, it would have been difficult for him to be active in the Murim Alliance due to his pride.
“The last letter said this. “I will go to the Murim League in a month.”
“…!”
“If you don’t have anything else to do, how about we join you after this fight?”
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.
“Yes, you say so.”
“Okay, I thought well. ah!”
Mo Yong-woo’s face suddenly became serious as he remembered something.
“Did you hear about what happened at the imperial palace?”
“I heard.”
“And that Lord Yeonga, Lord Paengga, and Lord Mukryong have gone?”
“yes.”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s voice was calmer than expected.
Mo Yong-woo asked without measuring things like Yeon Ho-jeong.
“Aren’t you worried about your father?”
“As a child, I am naturally worried. But…”
Yeon Ho-jeong looked up at the sky.
“It is an insult to him to worry about his military rank.”

How long did it take to walk?
Yeonwi, who was heading to her residence in silence, opened her mouth.
“How do you feel?”
Yaharuk looked at Yeonwi.
“What do you mean?”
“It is truly fortunate for us, but in fact, as the leader of the church, I think this choice by the leader can be quite confusing.”
Yaharuk’s eyes deepened.
“It’s not the cult leader, it’s the cult leader.”
“I’m sorry. “I will call it that.”
Yaharuk looked straight ahead again.
How long has it been?
“We just follow.”
“You mean the leader?”
“exactly.”
“I guess so.”
It is God’s word and I will follow it.
I did not feel the madness of a fanatic that is commonly talked about. There are many people in the midfield who absolutely trust the leader.
“This is a bit of a sensitive question. Can I ask it?”
“….”
“What kind of person is Su Jiaoju?”
Yaharuk flinched without realizing it. I didn’t know that Yeonwi would ask about Su Jiaoju right away.
This guy is looking at me because he wants to know something.
“No matter how well parents raise their children, they are the ones who don’t really know what’s inside their children. “I don’t know how the leader raised his son, but if he had that level of ambition, it would have been quite noticeable.”
“….”
“Now that I have met the leader of the cult whom I had only heard about through rumors, he is now a high-ranking leader whom I would not even dare to deal with. Of course, he will be stronger than Xiao Jyoju. “Even if you don’t know the child’s true intentions, you can recognize the military man’s true intentions, but didn’t you take action against it before it was closed?”
Yaharuk’s eyes grew cold.
“As you said, it’s a sensitive area.”
“I apologize if the question was too sensitive to answer. Anyway, I thought that if you lived here with the religious leader, you would be able to have this kind of conversation.”
“We just follow. But that doesn’t mean I have any intention of becoming friends with the people on this continent.”
“That’s a bit sad.”
“Also, if I wanted to answer that question, I couldn’t. “It is forbidden to reveal the mythological bloodline to outsiders, and it is because they do not know much about it in the first place.”
“I made you mad with pointless words. “I will apologize like this.”
Yaharuk took a slightly deep breath. When the story about the mythical bloodline came up, I became excited without even realizing it.
So they moved on again in silence.
“It’s out there.”
The place Yeonwi pointed to was east of Jay Palace.
“Now we are there. “As it is the imperial palace, it may not be a place where we can laugh and talk excitedly, but let’s have a simple drink and relieve the tension between us.”
There was no answer from Yaharuk.
Yeonwi smiled and nodded to the guards. Then the garrison members bowed briefly and then disappeared. Since we are all here, we will go and see.
When the guards disappeared like that.
“It’s strange.”
Yeonwi said while looking at the backs of the guards walking in the distance.
“We can only follow… That’s what Master Hogyo said.”
Yaharuk frowned.
“Is there a problem?”
“I don’t know if it’s a problem, but there’s something strange.”
“Are you saying it’s strange?”
“Even if I were an ordinary person, if I had this level of loyalty, I would definitely have mentioned the religious leader directly.”
“…?”
“We just follow the sect leader. I just believe in and follow the sect leader… Wouldn’t you normally say this?”
“…!”
Yaharuk’s face suddenly hardened.
Yeonwi looked back at Yaharuk. Because I had my back to the moonlight, I couldn’t see Yaharuk’s face, only his colorful eyes.
“Who are you following? “What do you want?”
“….”
“Are you following the Shinhwa cult leader or the Xiao cult leader?”
“….”
“Is the object you follow a person? Or a will that is difficult to explain?”
