< Episode 29 Wi So-yeon (3) >
“I apologize, but I will politely decline that offer.”
I thought it would be accepted, but it was an unexpected rejection.
Wei Shao-yeon, Hui Zhou’s third disciple, raised one eyebrow and asked in an incomprehensible tone.
“Why?”
“There is no big reason.”
“Is there no reason?”
“yes. “If I had to look for a reason, it’s because I have a personality that hates conflict.”
“Do you hate conflict?”
She snorted at Mo Gyeong-un’s words.
Even though it is said that the owner of that kind of personality took the initiative, does he stick around to the end and take advantage?
In his judgment, this person named Mok Gyeong-un is not a person who dislikes conflict.
Depending on the situation, if a dispute arises, it can be raised.
But to refuse for this reason…
‘Are you trying not to get involved with me, who is the weakest among the successors?’
That’s what she decided.
The structure within the Cheonjihoe was already clear.
The great disciple, Na Yu-ryang, and the second disciple, Jang Neung-ak, secured nearly 40% and 30% of support, respectively.
In contrast, she is only between 10% and 200% at most.
If only due to inaction, he quickly rose to a level comparable to Jang Neung-ak with his incredible talent, but he is still pushed out of power.
‘Coming under my wing is the same as rejecting everyone else.’
It wasn’t that I didn’t understand.
However, it was not that long ago that she accepted power ranging from 10% to 200% like this.
That’s why Wi So-yeon was confident.
‘······At least as long as the neutral forces are united under one umbrella, there is a good chance.’
From that perspective, Mok Gyeong-un was a desirable talent.
Although I liked his inaction and cunning, I could say that his current situation was optimal.
Mok Gyeong-un is approaching the final gate of Sihyeolgok.
In this situation, if you pass the final hurdle as the top student, you will be given the option to become a disciple of any of the executives present that day.
What if Mo Kyung-un becomes his subordinate and becomes a disciple of an official who is not under his control?
The corners of Wei Xiaoyeon’s mouth twitched.
That was her real aim.
‘It’s an opportunity that doesn’t come around often.’
To this she said:
“Even if you hate conflict, there will definitely come a time when you have to make a choice.”
“······.”
“I am not of immediate use, but rather an investment for future growth, but there are already plenty of great talents by my side.”
“······.”
“Do you think the choice you make then will be a big opportunity for you?”
At her words, Mok Gyeong-un’s eyes lit up.
I have seen people qualified to become successors at a place called Yeonmok Geomjang, but there is no comparison to that.
Regardless of gender, she definitely had what it takes to become the head of a group.
Even if you don’t speak for a long time, you have the power to attract someone.
but,
“Wouldn’t it still be an opportunity for someone who desperately needs you?”
Hearing Mo Qingyun’s words, Wei Xiaoyeon let out a long sigh.
Even though he was still only a Sihyeolgok cadet and was not in a special position, he personally requested to be appointed, but he turned it down.
He was truly an unusual person.
But Mok Gyeong-un’s last words come back to me.
‘A person who is desperately needed even at that time…’
It sounds like this.
Even if it’s not necessarily now, you will be valuable at any moment.
When I hear that, the eyes looking at Mo Gyeong-un narrow.
Are you confident in yourself?
After looking at her for a while, she soon parted her lips and spoke in a slightly pouting voice.
“I think you are the first person, not even the executives, to make me resign without any results.”
“I’m even more sorry for saying that.”
“good. Let’s wait and see if it turns out as he promised.”
“We will do our best to meet your expectations.”
Mok Gyeong-un responded to Wi So-yeon’s words with a light nod.
“ah!”
Then she came close to Mok Gyeong-un, whispered something in his ear, and immediately jumped down from the upper floor onto the lightweight new type.
-Poof!
“I will talk to Danju Yang and the person waiting outside as promised, so I think another visitation has begun from now on.”
With those words, she left the report as if her business was over.
At this, Mok Gyeong-un chuckled and turned his head.
“You!”
There, Ye Weishen was glaring at Mu Qingyun with burning eyes.

Looking at his expression, it seemed as if he was jealous.
No, I was doing it.
‘Whispering to a guy like that?’
I’m really angry.
Ye Weishen gritted his teeth and said.
“······What did the young lady say to you just now?”
“If you thought it was okay to say it, you would have said it out loud, right?”
“what?”
“Why don’t you follow along? “I think I’m going to lose my master at this rate.”
Hearing Mu Qingyun’s words, Ye Weishen stood up and gave him his Tao that had fallen on the floor.
And then he said it, looking like he was going to swing it at any moment.
“bouncer. “I’m just going to see the young lady today…”
“Don’t say the cliché that you will regret it someday, but just go when they are being generous.”
“You bastard!”
Ye Weishen was so upset for a moment that he almost swung his sword.
I endured this with superhuman patience.
If there were any more accidents here, it would have been difficult to handle the aftermath, or even the damage to those non-critical departments, so I had no choice but to quietly retreat.
-Wow!
“You will regret not accepting her offer.”
-Sreung!
With these words, he placed the sword in the sword case and tried to retreat.
Mok Gyeong-un smiled and said to him.
“I forgot to tell you.”
“what?”
“Please pay me back later if you owe me your life.”
“······What nonsense are you talking about? “He poured his heart out and bargained to get the young lady’s identity card.”
“I just passed it on.”
“Go over? what···.”
“As expected, you are mistaken. “Even though the young lady went to great lengths to save you, including paying the price of her own life, there was no change in the fact that she said that if she opened her mouth, she would be subject to summary punishment in order to keep her word.”
‘!?’
At those words, Ye Wishen’s expression hardened.
* * *
After leaving the report to Ye Weishen, Mo Qingyun heard Qingling’s voice in his ears.
-Why didn’t you do as you told me to do?
“iced coffee. “Whether you’re serious or not, are you going to pretend to bow down and become the subordinate of that woman who seems to be the third disciple?”
Cheongryeong told Mok Gyeong-un to become her subordinate.
If you do that, you will be able to settle down inside more quickly and contact the upper levels.
-okay.
“well. “I don’t think it’s time for that yet.”
-at the time? Do you think an opportunity like this will come easily?
“Is there any guarantee that the opportunity that comes once will not come again?”
-If an opportunity seems like it will come easily, don’t call it an opportunity.
“It seems like you have a lot of regrets.”
-I’m not saying this in terms of regret, but because even if it’s difficult right now, if you take that sentient woman’s body, you can speed up the time even more.
She became greedy for Wi So-yeon’s body, which looked exactly like hers.
I even felt as if my dead body had been resurrected.
Mok Gyeong-un said this.
“As expected, I coveted that body. “But we don’t look much alike, but we look quite similar. Could it be that he is a descendant of Cheongnyeong?”
-······I have no descendants. In the end, the wedding didn’t go through, so what kind of nonsense are you talking about?
“How do I know whether Cheongnyeong is married or has children? “They always avoid talking about it, saying it’s not the right time.”
-joy!
She snorted at Mo Gyeong-un’s words.
The sarcasm was already offended that the opportunity was lost because he did not follow his words.
‘I guess it’s disappointing.’
Mok Kyung-un chuckled without revealing it.
In fact, I thought that Cheongryeong would naturally covet Wei Soyeon’s body.
She has an appearance that is most similar to hers when she was alive and has the strongest inaction among the women she has ever met.
What was even stranger was that greed did not arise.
However, Mok Gyeong-un did not do that.
‘I’m sorry, but it’s not right for me to lay my hand on it unless it’s a clear hand.’
The first goal Mok Gyeong-un wants to achieve is revenge.
The immediate goal was to find out whether the person named Gwigeom was the real culprit who killed his grandfather, and if so, to take revenge.
However, if you become a subordinate of the third disciple of the head of the Heaven and Earth Association right now, you will be at odds with the remaining successors and those who follow him.
‘Is there any need to go so hard?’
Sihyeolgokju Lee Ji-yeom said that the most likely successor was the great disciple Na Yulyang.
It is said that among the 40% of the forces, there are King Mujang Seouncho, a member of Palseong (八星), who is called the highest leader in the central plains, a member of King Wu, a member of Samjongju, and two executives of Sagokju.
It is said that the trend has tilted considerably due to this.
[If Great Disciple Na Yu-ryang gains the support of another member of the Five Kings who has received the title of Eight Saints and remains neutral, the position of successor will likely be solidified.]
In that case, there was no need to go under Wei Xiaoyeon’s control.
Mok Gyeong-un wanted a certain loss rather than a possible one, so he thought that if he had to go under someone’s control, it would be better to aim for Na Yulyang, who was the closest successor.
‘Island Dog King.’
He is currently in a neutral position, not supported by anyone, and is the only one within the Heaven and Earth Association who is still alive despite confronting the Ghost Sword.
Mok Kyung-un passed the final hurdle and attempted to become his disciple.
All you have to do is become a disciple of Baek Sa-ha, the king of island poisons, find out his secrets, and try to contact Na Yu-ryang, who is closest to Hoe-ju’s position.
This was the plan Mok Kyung-un had in mind.
Mok Gyeong-un whispered to Cheongryeong, who was feeling uncomfortable.
“So you’re not going to help me?”
-······Damn sentient being.
He only asks for help when he needs it.
Anyway, I really don’t like it.
* * *
Mok Gyeong-woon, who had earned one more city visit, leisurely looked through the non-critical books on the third floor.
The words were just skimming over, but I was in a trance, becoming one with the original characters in the handwriting, absorbing them at a rapid pace.
This could be said to be an incredible talent that other martial artists do not have.
As he read the secret books, Mok Gyeong-un’s insight and perspective on martial arts broadened, and his experience increased as if he had practiced numerous martial arts.
Here, Cheongryeong discovered something interesting.
‘This guy’s body…’
Mok Gyeong-un is in a trance.
I could see Mokgyeongun’s muscles changing little by little in real time.
It was a very subtle change, so you wouldn’t know it unless you watched closely, but Cheongryeong was able to discover it because of a phenomenon while Mo Kyung-un was in a trance.
It was sweat.
‘sweat?’
It wasn’t on the second floor, but sweat was rolling down Mok Gyeong-un’s face as he looked at the emergency report in the third floor report room.
Even my clothes got wet with sweat.
While I was wondering why, I suddenly noticed that the muscles in my wrist were shaking very slightly and their density was changing.
‘under···.’
It was amazing.
She too had heard it once.
A strong will and spirit sometimes have a great impact on the body.
For example, there is such an anecdote.
Water from a teapot was suddenly poured on someone, and the person got burned.
But what is surprising is that the water is not hot water but cold water.
As a result, I burned my body simply by thinking strongly that it was hot.
‘I can’t believe this has materialized to this extent. This guy is really…’
It doesn’t look like a human.
Just by immersing yourself in the secret book and becoming one with it in your mind, it has an effect on your body and causes changes in your muscles.
Is this possible?
There is a time limit, so the number will eventually be limited as well, but what would happen if this guy decides to take the time to read all the non-critical books here in Vigo?
‘I’m curious.’
It was at that time.
-Charak! widely!
Mok Gyeong-un finished reading the secret book and closed it.
And as he put it on the bookshelf, he immediately turned his head to the side.
-next···.
“wait a minute.”
-Why are you doing that?
“It bothered me earlier, but I think I can definitely hear it from over there.”
-excuse me?
The place where Mok Gyeong-un is looking.
There was another small cavity formed near the corner of the third floor.
There seemed to be bookshelves inside with non-critical books on them.
‘Red line?’
A red line was drawn in front of it.
[ah. And there is a place with a red line, and if possible, do not enter there.]
[yes?]
[It wasn’t like that before… You don’t need to know that much, but if you cross the red line anyway, you’ll see something very scary. So don’t ignore my warning.]
Reporter Yang Mu-won’s warning about sobriety came to mind.
I guess that’s the place he was talking about.
‘It’s a scary thing…’
-hmm. That red line doesn’t seem ordinary.
Mok Gyeong-un also agreed with Cheongryeong’s words.
When white rice and salt are ground together in red ink and used together, it acts as a barrier.
In that case, it is possible to disconnect around the line.
“I’m curious.”
-You seem to be curious.
“I heard a noise inside.”
-sound?
Inside the wooden doll, she could not hear distant sounds.
That’s why I asked.
-What are you hearing?
“You’ll find out when you get there.”
Mo Kyung-un secretly looked towards the common entrance below.
There was no one there.
In fact, he was the one who came inside earlier and looked at about 30 volumes of non-private books that had been cut in half by Ye Wei-shen, and went out with a half-fazed expression on his face.
Since there are no eyes watching, I think it would be okay to look around for a while.
-Sigh!
Mu Qingyun passed the red line and entered the small cavity.
-Kurrrrrrr!
-ah! Can you hear this?
The young man said as if he understood.
When she came inside, a bookshelf was shaking hard enough for her to hear.
At the very top of the bookshelf, there was no non-class book and there was a rolled up wooden box.
-Sneaking!
A strange energy was flowing from there.
This is exactly what Mo Gyeong-un saw in his eyes.
“······Here you go.”
-Hey?
It was not the energy of the dead.
The ominous energy emanating from that scroll was a magical energy that could only be felt from Immaemangryang.
Mo Gyeong-un approached it.
-Sneaking!
‘It’s bizarre.’
The average person wouldn’t feel it, but why were these items placed here?
Aren’t there even evangelists within the Cheonjihoe?
At that time, a voice came to Mok Gyeong-un’s ears.
-Jeong-ah. Jeonga.
‘!?’
The moment he heard this voice, Mok Kyung-un’s expression hardened.
It is none other than,
“grandfather?”
It was the voice of my dead grandfather.
What on earth is going on?
Why can I hear my grandfather’s voice coming from that box?
-Jeong-ah…Jeong-ah…Please help me with this expense.
“grandfather?”
-Jeong-a… It’s so frustrating.
This was a grandfather whose voice was undeniable, from the way he spoke his name.
At that time, words poured into my ears.
-conflict!
Mok Kyung-un immediately frowned.
-Come to your senses. I heard you say Grandpa, Grandpa earlier, and I think I’m hearing hallucinations.
“Couldn’t you hear the spirit?”
-at all.
“Ahhh. “Then I guess I’m hallucinating.”
-I guess it wasn’t just a hallucination or something?
“That can’t be right.”
Mo Gyeong-un was extremely rational.
The only thing I was curious about was that I didn’t understand how it could call my grandfather’s voice or my true name when I couldn’t even make contact.
-I don’t get swayed by auditory hallucinations like that for no reason…
It was right then.
-You damned ghosts are interfering with the main event!
This was clearly audible.
The young man, too, must have heard this and muttered in an expression of absurdity.
-A damn bastard? How dare you…
I was about to get angry when a voice came from the wooden box.
-Human. Open the wooden box. If so, I will grant the wish of the person who rules over the assassination.
At this, Mok Gyeong-un chuckled and muttered.
“You’re selling drugs too openly.”
