Episode 15
Danghosan Mountain
Wind and rain
Magic Wind Spear
It is not ‘腿’ meaning thigh, but ‘槌’ meaning hammering. The downward strike that uses all the force of the twisted body to thrust downward like a thunderbolt is already a terrifying weapon in itself.
That was why it felt like the atmosphere was splitting apart.
A hammer blow carrying the devil’s wind.
For Dang Gyu-jin, who had lost his sword, the situation was unavoidably disadvantageous in many ways.
Climbing the Dragon’s Legs Method
Ascension Pavilion
I plan on using the Cheongseongpa’s swordsmanship, but there’s no way that the Baekta of Cheongseongpa, famous for its swordsmanship, will be strong.
However, with his genius idea, Dang Gyu-jin succeeded in creating a completely different martial art by mixing in the Doban Samyang Guiwon Gong of Sacheon Dangga, which has the characteristic of instantly amplifying yang energy.
Ascension Pavilion? Explosion
Yang energy itself has explosive power.
So, I guess they thought that was the only way to stop the Ma-pung-tui.
In fact, Dang Gyu-jin showed a level of skill that was by no means shallow, as he did not neglect the training of the Dang family’s martial arts students in addition to the Cheongseongpa’s swordsmanship.
Naturally, the newly transformed Seungcheon-gak looked very fierce.
I can’t even guarantee victory.
However, one thing was certain.
After the match is over, whether the winner or loser, there will definitely be some serious injuries.
But the reason they give it their all, even at the risk of injury, is because they can’t stop this excitement.
It was at that moment when a collision was about to occur.
“I think this is enough fun-“
Suddenly a loud voice rang out from the sky and something fell between us.
Kwaaaaang!
A middle-aged man standing with his right hand lightly blocking Dang Gyu-jin’s leg, which was being kicked down, and his left hand lightly blocking Dang Gyu-jin’s leg, which was being kicked up.
“Father…?”
A face that looks like a mix of Dang Gyu-jin and Dang Yu-chang.
It was the appearance of Dang Ho-san, the master of the Guryong branch.
Dang Gyu-jin was startled by the appearance of an unexpected being and stepped back to show respect.
The blue devil that had been surrounding her had also disappeared as if it were a lie.
“Meet the Lord of the Bunga!”
“Meet the Lord of the Bunga!!”
The audience also all jumped up from their seats and bowed in respect.
It is a natural attitude that must be shown now that the King of the Garden has appeared.
“They say six years have passed, hmm!”
“I guess that was a lie when you said you didn’t train and just lived in seclusion. To think that you had this level of skill.”
The ghosts who had met Danghosan seemed a little surprised.
Actually, I was a little surprised too.
No matter how legendary the Gwangpungdae is, isn’t it just a single armed force?
So, I thought that even if he was the head of such a place, he would be at the level of an elder of the new religion at best.
It seemed like the prediction needed to be corrected.
Service.
It seemed like they would be the next in line after the cult leader.
Even if ‘Yeon Yun-hwi’ returns right away, it is not possible to guarantee victory.
Why did someone like this remain as a mere branch leader?
“Do you have anything to say to me?”
Danghosan received greetings from his family members and then quietly turned to look at me.
It was because I had been standing there blankly without any manners.
“… I meet the Lord of the Bunga.”
Of course, I couldn’t reveal my true feelings, so I tried my best to hide my nervousness and be polite.
“But, what are you doing here?”
“This is Kowloon Branch. Is there anywhere I can’t go?”
“Of course, there is no place the owner of the estate cannot go. However, I am telling you this because I am worried that our lack of skills may be tarnishing the eyes of the branch family owner.”
In other words, what I meant was that your arrival had cooled down the excitement here.
“Hmm.”
“?”
But you don’t answer and just stare at me blankly?
Even Dang Gyu-jin and other family members were looking at me with their mouths wide open.
It was only then that I realized my mistake.
During that time, Danghosan only gave one-sided orders and listened to answers. No one had ever asked such detailed questions.
What would it be like for Dang Yun-hwi, who couldn’t even look his father in the eye?
I even kept my distance from him by not calling him father and just calling him “branch head.”
I think it was because I was still a little excited that I was a little slow to make a proper judgment call.
I’m trying to roll the roller coaster hard, wondering how I can make up for this mistake –
“It looks good.”
…Why is the reaction so unexpected?
“I heard that your personality has changed, but it’s more than I expected.”

I thought he would be angry, but I couldn’t figure out why he was acting like this.
“As you said, the two of you’re poor skills didn’t inspire me at all.”
Oh my, look at this talking bird.
“One child in particular was so disappointing.”
Then, the gaze directed at Dang Yu-chang was unusually cold.
“Ah, bu-”
“This is a public place. Be careful with your speech.”
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry-”
“The day when the Lord will visit is not far away.”
Dang Yuchang’s voice did not reach Dang Hosan.
Complete disregard.
It was the exact same posture as the one shown to Dang Yun-hwi before.
Dang Yu-chang was frustrated.
“Your Majesty wants to personally select the talented people who will become your hands and feet. To this end, blood relatives with the Dang surname are flocking to this estate at any given moment. In the meantime, should we worry the Majesty with minor or major injuries?”
Danghosan looked around while holding onto his backpack and shouted.
“Until the visit of the head of the household, any kind of intense training or martial arts will be prohibited. Everyone, disperse!”
The command to separate is absolute.
The families began to scatter in all directions.
“You guys should go back now.”
Finally, Dang Ho-san’s gaze turned to me and Dang Gyu-jin.
He answered, holding the lottery ticket, “I will do that.”
Until the very end, Dang Ho-san’s gaze did not reach the despairing Dang Yu-chang.
* * *
I still don’t like it.
That was my first impression of Danghosan.
When ‘Dangunhwi’ was useless, he just watched without paying attention, but when he started to show signs of improvement, he started to take interest again.
It was an absolutely impossible situation to avoid treating children as simple, disposable tools.
Look at Dang Yu-chang.
Now, I don’t even pay attention to it because I think it has no value.
The guy didn’t come to his senses until he returned to the red zone.
He was so shocked that he looked like he had lost his country.
That means that his father’s approval was the most important thing to him.
Otherwise, you may think that you have completely lost the position of branch head that you have been aiming for.
Well, I was aiming for this situation from the beginning.
“… It seems like Father doesn’t see how hard we worked. The results are the most important thing.”
After all the non-combat activities were over, Dang Gyu-jin and I moved to Baeksangjeon.
As I followed the dragon’s path, the black spirit disappeared again.
However, all that remains on my lips is bitterness.
A father who just ignores his children and goes outside.
On the other hand, there are mothers who force their dreams on their children.
What would be the feelings of the eldest daughter, who was born to two parents and tried to bring harmony to her family, but was ultimately unable to do so and ended up leaving home?
I don’t know. How I feel.
Actually, I don’t even want to know.
But I think so.
How precious and special was the affection that my Master gave me.
He loved and cared for me more than his own flesh and blood, so I knew for sure that the favor he gave me was so great that I could never repay it all in my life.
So I had to work even harder.
“… … .”
I took a sip of tea in silence and then quietly put the cup down.
“There is a saying. When a person suddenly changes, it is a sign that he or she will die.”
“you-“
“You’re always the same, Lord Bun-ga. Didn’t you think the same way, Sister?”
“… … .”
“It’s something that happens all the time, so I recommend that you don’t worry about it too much.”
Dang Gyu-jin stared at me intently.
“Why are you doing that?”
“… No. Nothing. I guess in the end, you were no different from your mother or father.”
I just answered with a laugh.
Even Dang Gyu-jin must know for sure that this family is full of beans.
“More than that, the excitement has died down, so what do we do now?”
“Shouldn’t we do as the Lord of the House of the Branch Lord instructed? For now, we should get enough rest and finish the match during the visit of the Lord of the House of the Branch Lord.”
Dang Gyu-jin smiled brightly at my gaze.
“Then let’s really do it right? With all our might.”
“sure.”
“good.”
Dang Gyu-jin and I laughed together.
I’m so excited for the upcoming match.
* * *
Cheongpung Guesthouse was filled with a smile today thanks to me.
On the other hand, I was annoyed.
“Your Majesty, Your Majesty! Please give me just a moment-”
Yeah, no.
“Hmm! I’ve known for a long time that it was the second prince, not the third prince, who was the vessel-”
Yeah. Just know it. Just know it.
“What do you need support for? If it’s money, my wife’s family-”
You’re telling your blood relatives about money?
“Would you like to see my daughter’s portrait? Although she is my daughter, it is no exaggeration to say that she is the most beautiful woman in Sacheon.”
Just looking at your face, I don’t think I need to look at it at all?
A sea of people.
Cheongpung Guesthouse was literally bursting with people.
People who want to give me a try at least once.
He is single and has no family as he is not married and does not have a wife. He does not even have a teacher-student relationship, so he has no background.
It’s a bond that’s sure to skyrocket if you hold on to it now, so you’ll want to hold on to it no matter what.
But the carriage has already left a long time ago.
“It’s annoying, so don’t let them come this way.”
“That is a given! I will guard tightly so that no one will be disturbed by your Majesty!”
The innkeeper gave me the entire top floor, bending down to his waist.
Even if I empty one floor, there is no problem at all because word has spread that I am a regular here and the place is packed with customers.
Rather, it would be a huge loss if I were to be moved to another guesthouse because I was noisy, so I personally hired special ronin to block the entrance to the top floor.
This gentleman, the more I look at him, the more I see that he is really good at business.
Thanks to that, I was able to have a drink with Dang Gyu-jin as promised without any major interruptions.
“Can I order this much food?”
Dang Gyu-jin was now standing with his jaw wide open in shock at the endless barrage of water.
“Yes, it’s okay. I always eat like this.”
“What? Always like this!?”
Dang Gyu-jin suddenly grabbed both of my hands with a serious expression.
Thud!
“Whoa, you-”
Oh, your expression is so serious? It’s like you’re going to nag me about not leaving food behind-
“You were rich.”
“… … .”
Wasn’t that it?
“Let’s stay friends. And always will. We’re like inseparable siblings, okay?”
“… Doesn’t Cheongseongpa provide good food?”
“Give it to me.”
“But why-”
“It’s a Taoist temple.”
“……ah.”
Dang Gyu-jin’s expression became liberated.
Here, I had nothing to say.
“How can a person have strength if they only eat grass all day long! Since they are growing rapidly, they should be fed more filling food… …! If you feed them that kind of food all day, they will always be weak and emaciated!”
It seems like there’s a lot that’s been piling up, pouring out like a machine gun.
“People, huh? Sometimes you should grease your mouth a little? Huh? Drink some grain wine, huh? That’s how you can enjoy life, but you guys are just being petty and mean-”
But this isn’t all my money, it’s on credit to Dang Gyu-jin’s mother.
Well, I guess I don’t really need to say it, right?
