Episode 112
Sacheon’s best review index
While I was chatting with Danggon, suddenly there was a commotion around me.
“That person… … !”
“This is how I meet the best reviewers in Sacheon!”
“What on earth should we talk about?”
A group of people came toward me, pushing through the crowd.
Chucksasammwon.
And it was Lee Cheol-san.
The one who was called the best reviewer of Sacheon before I appeared.
Danggon quickly left the spot.
“I was wondering what you were doing, and what are you doing here all alone?”
Dang Gyu-jin tilted his head at my teacup on the table.
“I have a favor to ask.”
“A request?”
“Yes. Wouldn’t it be better to get a good score if you at least get a face painting on the instructors first?”
Dang Gyu-jin looked back at Dang-gon with a hollow laugh.
Hmm!
Danggon coughed lightly and shook his head in a serious tone.
“I was threatening to fire you without mercy if you continued to behave the same way in the exam room as you did at the branch office.”
“I said so. Sister, isn’t our Master Musa too unkind?”
“Anyway, you too… … .”
Dang Gyu-jin shook his head as if he couldn’t stop himself.
At that moment, Lee Cheol-san sneaked in.
“If it’s a request like that, what can I do? I want to look good to the instructors as much as possible-”
“Don’t do that to your superiors. If other people hear it, they’ll really misunderstand!”
Lee Cheol-san blinked his eyes, pretending to be surprised.
“Huh? A misunderstanding? I’m being serious.”
“Ambassador!”
“Hahaha. I get it, I get it. If you mess around any more, I’m going to get you eaten.”
“Be careful. You might get eaten. This is the Tang Gate.”
“Oh no! I forgot that!”
“Ambassador, Dang Yun-hwi!!”
When Lee Cheol-san chimed in with my teasing, Dang Gyu-jin’s face turned bright red.
Our older sister is someone who is just as good at hitting people as she is at teasing them.
Lee Cheol-san and I burst out laughing together.
The more this happened, the more Dang Gyu-jin’s fist trembled.
“Usually, the disciples of the Old School are very strict-“
“It’s strange that this guy isn’t like that.”
“Hmm! You seem more flexible than you look, and you don’t seem like a very closed-minded person.”
As the ghosts had assessed, Lee Cheol-san seemed to have a personality that was a little different from the first impression he had received.
As expected from a great disciple of the Old School, he was certainly upright.
Every little action showed that he had been properly educated.
But it seemed like his heart was also very open.
A bold and generous side was evident.
Even if it was his nature, it couldn’t have been easy to maintain this kind of personality, so I thought it was really amazing.
I always feel this way while living in the world of martial arts, but most people who are unmanned are just diehards.
Because every single day was a battle with the urge to rest and be lazy.
The fight with oneself is always lonely.
That’s why it was very likely that he would become absorbed in his own world.
What about a young man who had been on a roll while receiving praises like “the best swordsman in the world” and “the next best swordsman in the world” at a young age?
Even if you don’t want to, you will inevitably become arrogant.
An open mind will be even more difficult to create.
But Lee Cheol-san didn’t show that kind of appearance at all.
I think it was called Sangseon Yaksoo. It wasn’t just his attitude, but his sincerity was evident.
So I became even more scared of this person.
It was clear that he had a much stronger core than I had thought.
How on earth did Cheongseong accept such a talented person?
and.
Creepy!
As I continued to stare into his eyes, an inexplicable sense of discomfort ran down my spine.
‘also.’
My guess was right.
“Little Master, is this perhaps…?”
‘Oh. That’s right. It’s Yeonggeun.’
“That, that’s right!!”
“Then doesn’t that mean that Cheongseongpa has two owners of Yeonggeun?”
‘That’s what it is. There might be more.’

“… If it becomes known to the world, it might cause an uproar.”
The reason why I instinctively thought it wouldn’t be easy as soon as I saw Mt. Lee Cheol-san.
It wasn’t simply because he had a strong mind or was very talented.
It was because he had a lot of energy.
It wasn’t just any old Yeong-geun either.
It was clearly of the highest quality.
“What kind do you look like?”
‘I’m not sure, but I think it might be from the Seongsin-geun (星辰根) or Sansoo-geun (山水根) lineage. I’ll have to look at it from the side or open the purple tablet to find out more.’
There are several types of spirit roots, and both Seongsin roots and Sansu roots are of a rank that is considered one of the best in the Seondo (仙道) system.
In particular, the Seongsin Geun was known to grow very quickly and have clear spiritual power because it received and absorbed the starlight of the sun, moon, and stars.
A pure soul means one has an upright character and outstanding talents.
It was clear that Lee Cheol-san would have been successful even if he had come to the world of drinking rather than the world of martial arts.
‘furthermore-‘
“… Are there any more?”
‘It seems like it has already gone beyond the level of ‘roots’ and has sprouted into a ‘sprout’?’
「!?」
“Are you saying that the growth into a spiritual tree has begun?”
‘I guess so. It seems like Cheongseongpa put a lot of effort into it.’
“her…!”
“that!”
If the root is the root, the tree is the stem.
As the spirit tree grows, the spirit level also grows along with it.
And it was said that when the tree began to bloom and bear fruit, that person would become a god.
However, there were very few cases where the root grew into a tree.
It is known to be so difficult that in order to grow a spiritual tree, one must completely leave the secular world and cultivate oneself.
Even the cultivation method was passed down in secret and was difficult to obtain, and even if obtained, there was no guarantee that it would definitely grow a spiritual tree.
So, the owner of the spirit usually died with the spirit still in his possession.
If you have already been known to be smart since you were young and have become a talented person, you can live comfortably, so is there really a need to make it difficult for you to cultivate yourself in a way that is difficult to see the results of?
However, Lee Cheol-san sprouted even though he had not completely left the secular world.
If given enough nutrients, the tree will grow well.
I had a feeling that maybe it was because of me that the Dark Lord thought highly of him.
‘It seems that Cheongseongpa has an advanced method of training that deals with Yeonggeun.’
Doesn’t that mean that Dang Gyu-jin will also be able to grow a tree someday?
Just then, Onma’s voice pierced my ears.
“Your Majesty. If by any chance the spirit tree has really begun to grow-“
‘No. Dismissed.’
“Yes.”
‘Don’t even think about doing useless things, Onma. It’s a warning.’
“…I understand.”
Onma seemed to want to argue that it would be better to eliminate Lee Cheol-san in advance, regardless of the means used.
I guess he means that if Lee Cheol-san really becomes the leader of the political faction in the future, he will be a constant bother to me.
What he said made sense, but I didn’t really want to do it.
If I shake hands with someone in advance to remove them from my life because they seem to be a hindrance to the future, then how am I any different from those apostates of Cheonsan?
Moreover, there was a reason why Lee Cheol-san should not be touched right away.
Just look at the eyes of Dang Gyu-jin standing next to you.
It’s dripping with honey, dripping with honey.
The first thing I see when I open my eyes to Dang Yun-hwi.
Are you asking me to believe that they have nothing to do with each other?
『…Why are you looking at me like that?』
Dang Gyu-jin noticed my strange(?) gaze and furrowed his brows.
“Uh-huh-huh.”
“…you.”
『Ehhhhhhhhhhh!』
“I don’t know what you’re thinking, but it’s not like that!?”
『Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!』
“No!”
『I! Ehhhhhh! Not yet! Ehhhhhhh! Didn’t say anything! Hehhhhhh! Ehhhhhhh!』
“hey!!”
Oh my, the smile won’t leave my lips.
Dang Gyu-jin tried to say something while lighting the twin flames, but it ended in failure when Lee Cheol-san appeared in the middle.
“I am sorry for being a guest and am late in greeting you. It is a pleasure to meet you. I am Lee Cheol-san from Cheongseong.”
“I’ve heard a lot from my older sister. My name is Dang Yun-hui of the Guryong branch.”
“Hmm? From Samae?”
Lee Cheol-san opened one eye wide as if surprised.
I chuckled and glanced at Dang Gyu-jin standing behind Lee Cheol-san.
Brrrr!
Dang Gyu-jin’s fist was shaking.
I nodded my head vigorously as if in agreement.
“Yes. You said that there are many aspects of you that I can learn from. It is an honor to meet you here in person.”
“You heard about me from your sister-in-law. I’m worried that she might be saying bad things about you. Hahaha.”
Only Lee Cheol-san, who doesn’t know anything, laughs heartily.
Dang Gyu-jin came forward urgently.
“What did the Ambassador say… …! When did you say that I said anything harsh to the Ambassador?”
“Huh? Last time, from Father Woojin-”
“Oh, it’s time we stopped talking about that!”
“Okay, okay. Hahaha.”
“Tch, you really do this every time to try to get people to do something.”
Dang Gyu-jin’s face turned slightly red.
Just like I like playing Danggon, it seems like this guy also enjoys teasing Dang Gyu-jin.
Then I can’t just stay still either.
“Ah, it seems that that bastard Cheongseong has finally touched the little devil inside the cult leader…!”
“Following Dang-gon, this time Dang-gyu-jin is the prey of the So-gyo-ju.”
As the ghosts collectively shook their heads, the smile forming on my lips grew bigger and bigger.
“Sister, I have never once said a bad word to you.”
“Oh, really? That’s a good thing. I always felt bad for bothering you so much, you know.”
“Instead.”
I glanced at Dang Gyu-jin, trailing off.
Dang Gyu-jin’s eyes were gleaming.
Lee Cheol-san tilted his head.
“Instead?”
“The ambassador usually smiles brightly and plays around with the other brothers-”
“Waaaaaaah!”
“??”
Dang Gyu-jin barged in with a blush on his face.
Question marks gathered over Lee Cheol-san’s head.
Dang Gyu-jin turned his back to me and thrust his fist at me so that Lee Cheol-san could not see.
『Hey! Dang Woon-Hwi!! Do you want to die!?』
『Hey, you can’t die already. Even if you die when you die, you have to somehow connect the world’s best Cheongseongsin Sword with our older sister before you die-』
“hey!!!”
I decided to stop because I felt like if I went any further, Dang Gyu-jin would really pull out his sword.
“Not only that, he was kind to the new disciples without any reservations, and he helped my older sister a lot when she first settled down in Cheongseongsan. So she is very grateful for what happened back then.”
Only then did Dang Gyu-jin lower his hand that was reaching for the sword hilt.
Lee Cheol-san scratched the ball.
“I just did what I should have done as an ambassador. But I feel sorry for you, Sami, because you think of me that way.”
“Oh, no. I’m always grateful to you, Ambassador.”
Dang Gyu-jin lowered his head, perhaps in embarrassment.
It was to the point where I wondered if this was really the same person who had been running wild and threatening to kill me just a moment ago.
“It’s such a shame-“
“Why did I have to get caught by the cult leader?”
“Still, it’s a meeting between the owners of Yeonggeun. They’re both handsome and beautiful. Don’t they look good together?”
As I was quietly chuckling, Yoo Su-min and Sima Seon-yi were laughing in vain next to the ghosts who were clicking their tongues.
And then he looks at me like I’m some kind of monster… .
Why? I just wanted to bring the two of you together because you two look good together.
I decided to be as shameless as possible.
