Episode 34
“First of all, let me say thank you again. “Thanks to you, my life was saved.”
“Have you become familiar with the Taeeulshin Gong (太乙神功)?”
“You get used to it. I trained to death. “Thanks to you, I have completely overcome my mental illness now.”
“It’s been worth teaching hard for a month.”
“I’m asking this now, but how did you know the correct form of Taeeul Shingong?”
“It’s a little different. “It would be correct to say that he did not know the correct structure, but that he had the knowledge to detect the wrong structure.”
“So how did you acquire that knowledge?”
“There is no reason to tell you.”
“Stop being petty.”
“If you’re curious, find out for yourself. “Isn’t he the head of the intelligence community in name and name?”
“I shouldn’t say anything.”
The woman grunted and poured tea into a cup.
She carefully picked up the teacup with both hands like a mother-in-law and asked as if throwing it.
“So, have you thought about it?”
“What do you mean?”
“You’re not asking because you don’t know, right?”
“If you were asked whether I intend to continue friendly relations with Hao Wen, I would say yes.”
“I thought so.”
“I just need to receive an apology and compensation for what happened in the past.”
“I apologize on behalf of Hao Wen. “I will prepare a sufficiently satisfying reward for you, so won’t you put the past behind you?”
“All right.”
“And speaking of future transaction methods, I will now be in full charge of all matters related to you from now on.”
“yes?”
“I have become your exclusive handler and have been following you around.”
“What is that?”
“Why do you think I showed my face to strangers?”
“······Are you saying there is no reason to hide it since we will continue to see it in the future anyway?”
“answer. “You understand quickly.”
“her.”
“I know it’s an honor. “It’s not a huge power, so it’s almost impossible for an individual to be in charge.”
“Is there any benefit to having a dedicated person in charge?”
“Of course there is. First of all, convenience will increase to an incomparable level compared to before. “You will be able to get most of the information directly from me without having to go to the Haomun branch and ask for it.”
“That’s definitely a good thing.”
“I don’t know why, but Lord Moon seems to have decided that you are someone worthy of special treatment. “If you look at the fact that they dispatched me even at the risk of internal opposition.”
“Is there a reason you sent Sozer? “I’m sure there are many others.”
“Because I am the most qualified person. Our faces are already known, and we are somehow close friends. “I guess this means regaining some of the sense of place that I lost while I was lost in my thoughts?”
“I don’t remember making any particular friends.”
“We’ve been face-to-face for two days, is that how you say it?”
“Except for the first day, I don’t think I’ve ever done anything more than touch Myeongmunhyeol.”
“It’s true that we touched each other.”
“Even though the words are the same, they are different laws.”
“Anyway, there’s no need to feel too pressured. If you want to refuse, just refuse. If you feel uncomfortable because you feel like you are being watched…”
“It doesn’t really matter.”
It was a story I had no reason to refuse.
I don’t know what Hao Wen-ju expects or what he is trying to do by attaching his disciple to me.
What mattered was whether it was a proposal that would benefit me.
‘I’ll use everything that’s available.’
I uncrossed my arms and picked up the kettle filled with tea.
As she filled the glass with water and drank it in one go, her eyes widened.
“It must be hot.”
“I thought the entire roof of my mouth was peeling off.”
“You said earlier that you don’t drink.”
“It’s a sign of my own sincerity.”
“I’ll trust you for now, is that okay?”
After looking at this with an expression of bewilderment for a moment, the woman burst into laughter.
She said, tapping the table with her index finger.
“I will tell you, the special treatment will not last forever. “He also told me to return immediately when I decided it was no longer worth watching.”
“It sounds like you are saying that if you want to continue to receive special treatment, you should take action to match it.”
“I understand.”
“What should I call you?”
“Title?”
“We will continue to see each other face to face from now on, but we can’t just call each other that forever.”
“That too. My name is Cheon Ga-ryeong. “From now on, just call me Sojeo.”
“Are you Jinmyeong?”
“Of course it’s a pseudonym. Is there a problem?”
“doesn’t exist.”
I poured tea into the empty cup again.

This time, instead of drinking it all at once, I took my time and savored it little by little.
“Please tell Lord Moon.”
“······?”
“No matter what you thought, you will see results beyond that.”

A fortnight later.
A girl took the transfer exam and was admitted to Hwangryongmugwan.
The girl, whose appearance was so outstanding that she captivated half of the students just one day after entering the school, was selected as Dokgo Woojin’s second disciple on the fifth day and no longer participated in general classes.
Many students shed tears, blaming Dokgo Woojin.
The girl who was actually involved didn’t care about it at all.
The girl, Cheon Ga-ryeong, approached the boy who was practicing silently alone in the empty training hall and spoke to him with a bright smile on his face.
“Please take good care of me in the future, death.”
“What is the death penalty?”
“First of all, it’s known that way around people, right?”
“I don’t remember having a priest like you.”
The boy, wiping the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, responded bluntly.
* * *
“······There are no such monsters. “Are you really the same age as me?”
“you’re right.”
“How on earth can you become that strong at that age?”
Dokgo Woojin’s personal training hall.
Cheon Ga-ryeong leaned back against the wall, breathing heavily.
I sat down next to her, rubbing my face with a dry towel.
“What were you thinking when you suddenly asked for help?”
“I just wanted to hang out for once.”
About half an hour ago, she came to the training center out of nowhere and asked for a dance.
I needed someone to spar with, so I readily agreed, and in exactly thirty seconds, I knocked her out and laid her on the floor.
Has something gone wrong?
She asked for a massage again, and I knocked her out again.
There was no such thing as assuming that the other person was a woman.
In the Demonic Cult, those who had such thoughts were the first to lose their lives.
After a total of seven rounds of dancing, Cheon Ga-ryeong could not hold on any longer and fell down.
If it weren’t for sparring, the result probably wouldn’t have been so one-sided.
Even putting aside the differences in capabilities between them, this was a condition that had no choice but to be advantageous from the beginning.
If she had used her organs to plan a sneak attack, it would have been a very difficult fight.
However, the person involved did not seem to think so.
“My pride is hurt. “If the opponent was a warrior of the same age, he was confident that he would not be defeated by anyone.”
“They say that’s not confidence, it’s pride.”
“And you?”
“······?”
“Do you think you could lose in a fight with a warrior of the same age?”
“It’s not out of the question. “Unlike sparring, there are many different variables in actual fighting.”
No matter how talented a person is, depending on the situation and conditions, he or she can be defeated by a lower level opponent.
I have seen countless such cases in my past life.
The demons, eager to defeat the strong and gain their wealth, status, and power, did not choose any means or methods in their fights.
“Then what if there is a prerequisite of sparring?”
“Then at least I won’t lose to a warrior of the same age.”
“Didn’t you say that’s conceit?”
“It’s confidence.”
Even in my past life, there was no one of my age who could compare to me.
There was nothing to say about it in this life.
“I have nothing to say.”
“If you have had enough rest, please go home.”
“Are you going to kick me out right away?”
“Isn’t it impossible to practice in front of outsiders?”
“Don’t you think the brothers are too cold to each other?”
“It’s not the real death penalty, is it?”
She only sought Dokgo Woojin’s cooperation to easily forge her identity, but she did not truly become Cheonleimun’s disciple.
In the first place, there was no way that she, who had Hao Wenju as her teacher, would have anyone else as her teacher.
“Aren’t you tired of practicing like that all day?”
“I’m not particularly bored.”
“Yes, I guess so.”
“If you want to dance again later, please come by anytime. “I will deal with you.”
“······.”
After driving out Cheon Ji-ryeong.
Standing in the center of the training hall, quietly catching my breath, I closed my eyes and focused my consciousness inward.
‘I think I know a little bit.’
Fifteen days have already passed since the foundation was completed.
In the meantime, I worked hard to harmonize the White Thunder Godkung and the Wolyeonggeom, while also spending time meditating and contemplating my inner self.
I didn’t realize it at first, but now I feel like I vaguely understand it.
What should I do to achieve thunder spirit?
‘It’s definitely not a skill that can be learned with the help of a teacher.’
The internal energy accumulated through the use of the White Thunder Godkung basically contained the attribute of thunder.
Whether or not one could pull it off was entirely a matter of the practitioner’s own capabilities.
‘First of all, let’s recognize it clearly. Bringing out brain energy is next.’
The tips were the same as when I first learned the Naegongsim method.
First, I had to feel it and adapt.
Drawing out the energy and using it as intended was a matter of later.
“Whoa… … .”
When I finished meditation and opened my eyes, the sky was dyed red.
I think I closed my eyes for a moment and then opened them, but it seemed like two hours had passed in between.
Grumble!
The beggar in his stomach fluttered loudly, showing off his presence.
I grabbed my hungry stomach and left the gym.
Instead of heading to the restaurant inside the military complex, I went back to my lodgings to wash and change clothes.
Today was the day I promised to have a meal with Dokgo Woojin and his wife.
Originally, I was going to refuse, but I couldn’t after being offered several times.
Even Cheon Ga-ryeong accompanied him there.
Although it was a fake identity, she was known to those around her as Dokgo Woojin’s disciple.
It was no wonder Seo Moon-hye was interested in her.
“What were you thinking when you accepted the offer for a meal? “It must be an uncomfortable position for Sojeo.”
“Isn’t this a good opportunity to uncover the identity of our fearsome master?”
“Was the purpose of collecting information?”
“You never know. “Stories that you haven’t heard from the person involved may come out of the family’s mouth.”
“Should I call this Haomendo-style?”
“Why don’t you tell me clearly right now? What is Master’s identity? “Why is it that someone of such skill is acting as a bridgehead for a mere military officer?”
“Hear directly from the person concerned. “I can’t tell you with my own words.”
“I knew you would say that. “Anyway, why are there so many secrets between two priests?”
I ignored Cheon Ga-ryeong, who was glaring at me with a pouting expression, and kicked the ground hard.
“Let’s hurry. “It’s late.”
“Do you know who made you late?”
“It would be better to postpone judging right and wrong until later.”
“If you can’t even talk.”
