Episode 33
It’s supposed to be messy
After the rain, I rolled down the window and was catching my breath when Danggon suddenly asked me a question.
“Madam, how long do you plan on continuing to rip me off?”
“Well, well. Forever?”
“You have to boil the bones until they are completely full of holes, or the water won’t flow out!”
“Oh, you have to skip it like that! That’s how you become a cult leader!!”
But Dang-gon’s expression was very dull.
This gentleman, this isn’t the reason you came here, it was for this.
“Why? What did the branch lord say?”
“That’s not true-”
Danggon hesitated slightly, which was unusual for him, and then sighed softly as he continued speaking.
“I really can’t figure out what Confucius is thinking.”
“Because I keep getting involved with the Madam?”
“There’s a rumor going around the estate these days. Even Confucius knows about it.”
“How don’t you know?”
Recently, a rumor about me has been floating around the manor like a ghost among the butlers and servants.
―It is said that Prince Yun-Hwi and the Lady decided to forget all about their past grudges.
―The lady’s side gave various gifts and support to Prince Unhwi, and Prince Unhwi was said to be grateful and touched.
But the biggest rumor was this.
―I heard that Prince Yunhui is planning to declare his renunciation of the succession during this visit to the family head office.
Of course, it was a rumor that came from Namgung Sanyoung.
Since I have been fed something(?) for a while, they are trying to influence public opinion in this way.
And actually, there have been some positive reactions towards her recently.
Rumors began to spread that he was trying to somehow support his illegitimate child, and there was even talk that he had personally gone to see Dang Yu-chang, whom he had defeated with a sword, and apologized to him.
“You have no intention of giving up your right of succession, do you?”
“Why? I might give up because it’s annoying.”
“I bet that’s true.”
Certainly, since he now knows my personality so well, he seemed to sense something strange right away.
“What are you aiming at?”
“There’s one thing I promised my father when I met him last time.”
At that moment, Danggon’s eyes lit up.
“What is it?”
“I decided to cut off the head of the white bone net.”
“Backbone mesh? Backbone? I think I’ve heard of it somewhere. Hmm?”
Danggon tilted his head for a moment, then opened his eyes wide.
“Are you talking about the White Bone Net of Heukgolguigok?”
“uh.”
Dang-gon certainly seemed to know a lot about Baekgolmangsa, as expected from a nobleman who had fought against the Shin-kyo on the front lines during his youth.
“That author must be in Cheonsan-”
Dang-gon continued speaking, then his eyes sank deeply as if he had remembered something.
“-It seems that he is an external force in collusion with the Grand Lady.”
“Didn’t your father tell you anything?”
“I’ve only heard the general idea. I hate troublesome things like political squabbles. But now it’s going to be hard to do that.”
Perhaps he only heard the main points related to the assassination of the Dark Lord and let the rest slide.
To begin with, before Dang-gon became my master, he was someone who seemed to exist but didn’t exist, so it was a natural reaction.
But the moment he heard the nickname Baekgolmangsa, his eyes changed.
As if he were a wild beast facing a life-or-death battle.
Originally, this must have been the real eye that the Wind Knight Danggon had.
“Then, by any chance, why hasn’t Princess Gyujin been seen at the White House recently?”
“I don’t know the exact details, either. But I noticed that the lady is working with someone to target me, and I’m investigating that separately.”
This is something I learned from the ghost that was attached to Dang Gyu-jin.
I thought something was strange when he talked about the past with me, but it seemed like he was trying to get rid of all the bad relations with Namgung Sanyoung, who had been suppressing ‘Dang Woon-hwi’ in the past.
Thanks to that, they are currently uncovering the truth behind Namgung Sanyoung at a frightening pace.
I thought it was only a matter of time before we found out the location of the shrine where the White Bone Net was.
“… If the princess finds out, she will be incredibly shocked.”
“I guess so.”
Dang Gyu-jin is a Taoist who has enemies in the Cheongseongpa.
If it’s a magic ramen, you can’t help but tremble.
How will she react when she finds out the truth?
And when you find out your parents are fighting with each other?
“The reason my older sister doesn’t show her face to me is because she feels sorry for me. She’s trying to atone for her own mother’s sins.”
What a truly foolish and kind person.
Even though I wasn’t a real ‘Dang Yun-hwi’, no, rather, because of that, I felt sorry for her.
That’s why I thought that I had to take care of her somehow even in this mess.
“Then how are you going to attack Baekgolmangsa? As you may know, the sorcerers of Heukgolgwigok decorate their base like a fortress, called the Ghostly Magic Camp. If you set foot there without permission, you will most likely be met with disaster.”
The Ghostly Faction is a Ghostly Faction, but the skills of the White Bone Mangsa are absolutely not to be ignored.
Even if the Suspension War is opened, it is difficult for me, who was on par with the 15th person who was a private investigator, to hunt right away.

“If you’re So, So-kyoju, you can obviously overcome such obstacles with your eyes closed, but if Soma were to cautiously add his opinion-“
“What do you know, you little brat who doesn’t even have any experience, and you’re acting so recklessly!”
“Oh my! I guess I can’t go in!”
“Number 14! Number 14! Can’t you manage your successor properly?”
“I, I’ll fix it! Hey you! I guess we’ll have to do some special training together tonight!”
“That, that, that!!”
‘Just leave me alone. Let me hear what you have to say.’
“Okay, I understand!”
“Your Majesty! What are you doing, Youngest? Don’t tell the Young Master!”
Fifteenth Ho stepped forward, trembling among the phantoms whose posture had changed dramatically.
“Master… no, Baekgol has been steadily gathering Dharma tools and developing the realm of the Illusionary Mirror since the disappearance of the Young Leader. With the addition of the Ghostly Sect, he is like a ghost.”
A ghost?
When people hear the word ghost, they may often think of it as being on the same level as a spectre or ghost.
But they too, although of a lower rank, are indeed a type of god.
He was in charge of one axis of the strong gods, so he was absolutely not to be taken lightly.
Of course, I am the King of Ghosts, so those ghosts cannot be manipulated as they please, but the problem is that I have not yet regained all of my abilities from my previous life, and Baekgolmangsa is not a ‘real’ ghost.
There is a huge difference between the expressions ‘like a ghost’ and ‘is a ghost’.
So, it was dangerous to just rush into the temple like this.
That was the reason I couldn’t strike the shrine right away even if I touched the stock ranches, and it was also the reason I took the time to shake up Namgung Sanyoung.
“Do you know what the most effective way to hit an enemy is?”
“Ouch! It’s that laugh again!”
“Adventure! Adventure!”
When I smiled with the corners of my lips curled up, Danggon flinched in surprise and took a step back.
“What… is it?”
“It causes the enemy to self-destruct. Then, the blade that grows inside will automatically start cutting itself.”
Danggon opened his eyes slightly wide.
* * *
All of Namgung Sanyoung’s anger was always directed at the poor furniture of the main house.
Wow!
“Bring it! Bring it!”
“No, not anymore.”
Even with Namgung Sanyoung’s chilling threats, the man didn’t even blink an eye.
His name is Muyeong.
In the Guryong branch, he was known as a bodyguard protecting the Red Warlord Dang Yoo-chang, but in reality, he was a middleman assigned by the Namgung family to control Namgung San-yeong.
It was he who introduced Baekgolmangsa to Namgung Sanyeong, who encouraged him to expel Yunhui, and who encouraged him to take over the Guryong branch and provided him with various support.
As a result, Namgung Sanyoung, who had run out of money, went to find Muyoung.
At first, Muyeongdo lent her money.
He was also aware of the changes that had begun to take place around Yun Hui, and he was considerate of Namgung Sanyoung because he had to somehow keep a hold on the Guryong branch in order for the great undertaking to succeed.
But even that amount grew like a snowball, so they could no longer provide funds.
Even the funds he had were starting to run out.
“Are you ignoring me too? I am the mistress of the Guryong branch house! I am the bloodline of the Daenam Palace and the mother of the one who will become the master of the Danggata!!”
‘It’s completely gone.’
Muyeong clicked his tongue inwardly.
She was a woman who was greedy beyond her means.
But I thought you would at least keep to a reasonable standard.
Now, I have even escaped from that and am now suffering from delusions of persecution.
‘I have to dispose of it as soon as this is over.’
But that can’t happen right away, so his eyes turned cold.
“I just got a call from my parents this morning.”
“…what?”
Namgung Sanyoung’s screams have died down.
The pupils shook.
‘As expected, it’s instant.’
This arrogant woman is nothing more than a mouse in front of Sega.
The corners of Muyeong’s lips twisted even more.
“No matter what happens, you have a strict order to make Princess Gyujin the successor of Danggata and Prince Yuchang the successor of the Guryong branch family. He said that this visit to the dark kingdom is the right time, so don’t miss it.”
“!!”
“I will share with you what will happen on that day.”
Swish!
Muyeong has disappeared without a trace.
Namgung Sanyoung muttered to himself, half-asleep.
“Namgung… Namgung is trying to abandon me… … Why… me… … .”
Namgung Sanyoung did not know about Amjon’s assassination plan.
But I knew for sure that Namgung Se-ga and the Demonic Cult were joining hands to plot something big.
Even the fact that he is using himself as a talking point for that.
So what happens after it’s all over?
Of course it will be thrown away.
Murderer’s den, toss-and-stick. Words like these weren’t created for nothing.
“How much I have lived for Namgung all this time… How much I… … How could Namgung…!”
After Unhwi and Baekgolmangsa, now it’s Namgung Se-ga.
Namgung Sanyoung felt that he had reached a dead end.
Still, she believed that her parents would protect her somehow, but even that was shattered. The moment she realized that what she had thought was a lifeline was actually a rotten lifeline, only one thought came to mind.
-We have to find a way to survive somehow.
And then another thought follows.
―The Namgung and the Demonic Cult, whom I trusted, are trying to use me as a mere pawn. If that’s the case, then how can I not do the same?
As he thought about this, Namgung Sanyoung’s eyes, which had been clouded for a while, regained their clarity.
It was called murder by borrowing a knife.
If you can’t deal with it with your own abilities, you’ll have to borrow another sword.
At about dawn.
When it seemed that all the watching eyes had disappeared, Namgung Sanyoung secretly left the main building and looked for Baeksikjeon.
The law of the non-religious.
It was the martial arts of Namgung Se-ga, who had never properly trained since getting married.
widely!
“But how can someone like you, the mistress of the Guryong branch, sneak around like a thief?”
Yun-Hwi chuckled as he got down from the bed.
An attitude as if one had been waiting.
Namgung Sanyoung realized that this was also Unhwi’s trick.
From beginning to end, she was nothing more than a plaything in Yunhui’s palm.
But I wasn’t angry anymore.
Rather, it just makes me feel empty.
‘Yes… laugh as much as you want. Right now, I’m giving you everything, even my underwear. But I’ll be the one laughing last. Whether it’s ten years or twenty years-‘
Namgung Sanyoung fell to his knees and bowed his head.
“Save me.”
“If anyone heard me, it would seem like I was threatening my mother.”
“If you tell me to bow down, I’ll bow down. If you tell me to crawl, I’ll crawl. I’ll do whatever you tell me to do, so just let me live.”
“What if I were to give up my position as successor?”
“… I will follow him too. I will persuade Gyujin and Yoochang. No, I will even give up all my rights while I am at it. If I want, I can even give up my title as a high lady and live in seclusion in the mountains for the rest of my life. So please, at least spare my life.”
It was a surrender.
In fact, it was as if the last bit of motivation that had been motivating Namgung Sanyoung had been lost.
But he knew that if he did not do this, both he and his children, whether he was his successor or not, would ultimately be doomed.
“It’s a little easier to talk now.”
Yun-Hwi laughed.
I finally got my hands on it.
A blade that can cut through bone mesh from the inside.
