< Hebei Peng Family 1 >
My father-in-law ran into the temple and was about to head towards my quarters, but then something came to mind and he was about to turn back towards the medicine hall.
Judging from the shout just now and the current situation, it seemed like he didn’t know where I was or what my condition was.
“Master?”
“Huh!? Son-in-law!?”
When I called out to my father-in-law, who was walking away, to confirm that I was okay, he opened his eyes wide with a surprised expression when he found me sitting in the pavilion.
And then he looked at me with his eyes wide open.
“Little Dragon, are you feeling okay? I heard that you were not in your right mind, so I came running here in a hurry!”
“I heard that you came to your senses in front of Gujinmun, but is it okay for you to be wandering around already?”
The craftsman first grabbed my arms with a surprised expression and looked around my body.
I heard it from my older sister.
It seems that something big happened in the family, so they sent quick-moving warriors to the place where their father-in-law had left to contact him.
But that was when I collapsed and couldn’t come to my senses.
At the time, I was still not awake, so it was clear that my father-in-law had only heard the report that I had collapsed and was not conscious.
“Yes, Master, I am fine. Fortunately, I woke up after ten days.”
“Ten days!”
“And I have this huge scar on my arm, but it’s okay. Anyway, I survived.”
“scar!”
When I showed him the scar from the hole in the blood cult elder’s finger and told him how much I had suffered, the craftsman shouted with an angry expression every time I spoke.
“These blood cult bastards!”
At the sound of the craftsman’s voice, family members showed up one by one to support him.
“father!”
“Hwa-eun, are you hurt anywhere?”
“I’m okay. So, So-ryong saved me… saved us all.”
“Really!? Little Dragon? I need to hear more about what happened.”
To the craftsman’s question, the older sister answered with an embarrassed look, putting one hand on her chest and slightly turning her head.
It was beautiful to see her swinging the whip with an expression like a tea lady, but I also really liked this shy look.
Isn’t your older sister’s charm the gap between her usual cold expression and this shy look?
But the feeling of satisfaction was short-lived.
‘No, the whip can’t be pretty···.’
There was a time when I was worried that my tastes might be out of the norm.
I started hearing my grandfather’s voice behind us.
“Are you back? Stop fussing and the kids are safe, so let’s go to Gajujeon. I’ll tell you what happened.”
“Yes, the little one is back. Understood. The Destruction Squad should go back and rest!”
“““Yes, my lord!”””
The father-in-law gave the order to disband the extermination unit and started walking towards the Gajujeon Hall just as he had when he stormed into the Sahapwon.
The craftsman, who had been walking a few steps, looked back and spoke.
“You guys, let’s go together.”
“Yes, Master.”
“Yes, father.”
So, I was talking to the craftsman about what had happened in the meantime.
“You poisoned his body and made him suck your blood?”
“Yes, and he said to the bewildered man, ‘I am your natural enemy!’ Like this.”
“Hahaha! That’s refreshing! That’s refreshing.”
‘Ha, I’ll have to be careful next time. This is seriously embarrassing.’
In a situation where it was difficult to tell whether they were teasing or praising, a voice of squabbling was heard from outside.
“My lord, the soldier has arrived.”
“Military? Oh, I see the rearguard has arrived?”
“Yes, I gave the Murim Alliance a link and the leader sent it to me.”
“Tell them to come in.”
“Yes, go ahead.”
Soon after, the door opens and a soldier from the Murim Alliance named Jegal Hou comes in.
He said he and his father-in-law were friends, and the two hugged each other and greeted each other.
No, this is the Central Plains, so it seems like they were childhood friends.
“Cheolsan, it’s been a while. This guy.”
“How have you been? You’ve been in a high position but you’ve been out of touch, so now I finally get to see you.”
“Oh, is that so? I’m sorry.”
And when the soldiers who had just reunited sat down on one side, the first thing the father-in-law asked was not how they had been doing, but a bit of a business-related question.
No, should I say it’s a gruesome story?
“Okay, did you catch the details?”
“Oh, of course. I’ve already informed the leader, so he’s probably been arrested by now.”
“Three works?”
Sejak It means spy or spy.
When I was the only one tilting my head, the craftsman smiled and said.
“Didn’t you say that the Blood Cult bastards invaded to take the Bloodthirsty Poisoner’s secret?”
“Yes, it seemed like he thought it was very important.”
“Yeah, then how did they know that the Bloodthirsty Toxin was in our Sacheondang family?”
After thinking about the craftsman’s question carefully, I realized that we brought the secret recipe for the blood poisoning medicine from Haenam Island to Sacheon Dangga.

So, before arriving at Sacheondangga, only me, my father-in-law, Gupae Daeju, and Musa knew the secret, and after arriving at the family, only my grandfather, mother-in-law, older sister, and a few elders from the collateral line of the family knew the secret.
“Huh! Then, one of the warriors or elders of the family!?”
I don’t know about the warriors, but because of my older sister, the first impression of the elders of the family wasn’t good, but when I saw them fighting the blood sect guys, I could tell that their love for the family was not small, so how can they be so petty?
As I made a face of disbelief, the military suddenly burst into laughter.
“Heh heh. I guess I’ll have to educate my son-in-law a bit. He’s a new family member, so he always has fun things to say.”
When I looked around with a puzzled expression at the sound of the military, my older sister spoke with a smiling face.
“Little Dragon, there can’t be three children in the Tang family.”
“yes?”
No, who is born a spy?
I knew that it was common to get caught up in one mistake and end up making a mess of things, so I wondered why he spoke so confidently.
Then, I heard from my grandfather something I had never known before.
“Little Dragon, the Tang family’s warriors, even the lowly squires and menial workers, are all Tang family members. There is absolutely no one in our Tang family who would sell out their family members. The reason we say this with such confidence is······.”
Listening to my grandfather’s explanation, the Tang family treats poison and poisoning as very important secrets.
That is why, even if you bring in one person, you don’t just bring them in.
What if one of the party members picks a sibbi?
Then, they investigate and examine the direct cousins of numerous applicants, and if there are no problems, they select those with good character.
And if it is decided through a court ruling, not only the court ruling but also all of the immediate family members will be accepted into the ruling family.
This is an amazing story in itself, but it doesn’t end there.
Sibi and his family are prohibited from going out for ten years, and if something unavoidable happens, such as the death of a cousin, they must attend with the warriors of the clan.
“When you enter the family, you swear that you will not be able to leave unless you die.”
‘Huh!’
I was briefly surprised by the selection process for the city council.
The process of selecting a warrior was nothing compared to picking a sage.
Are you saying that you buy and raise children with outstanding talents at a young age by giving them a lot of money?
In this day and age, it is common for people to starve to death because they have not had enough to eat, so there are many cases of people selling their children to save them or to save themselves. The idea is to buy those children and raise them safely.
And by pairing up such warriors with the families of the collateral branches of the Tang family, the concubines, and the servants, this Sacheon Tang family was truly a network of people connected by blood, or rather, a collection of bloodlines.
He said that since his wife and children were all from the Sacheon Dang family, there was absolutely no way he would do something like sedition.
I thought that Dok-gong was nothing special since it was just taught as a free pass, but being chosen as a warrior and learning Dok-gong was proof of loyalty to the family, character, and qualifications.
As I opened my eyes wide in surprise at the shocking fact, I heard my sister’s voice with a smile on its face.
“Little Dragon, did Little Dragon give information to the Blood Cult?”
“Oh, no! That can’t be true.”
“Then, there won’t be anyone to bother our party. It’s been almost ten years since we brought in a new person.”
“But, people can still make mistakes···.”
However, I asked if it was true that people can make mistakes and that there is no such thing as perfection, but the people in the party who knew about this had already proven their innocence by taking something like a confession drug.
They say it’s the poison of confession, but this is a place that uses poison.
Sacheondangga.
Who would have thought that such a secret was hidden in Sacheondangga?
As expected, the Sichuan Dang family is the best assassination clan in the Central Plains.
I got goosebumps all over my body.
“Then, Sejak?”
“Of course it would have been within the Murim Alliance.”
“That’s right. It was within our martial arts alliance.”
I thought it would take a long time to catch Sejak, but since Dangga was excluded, the only thing left was the Murim Alliance.
Still, since there were a lot of people in the Murim Alliance, I thought it wouldn’t take long to catch them, but I wondered why they caught them so quickly, and there was a reason for that.
The military said that originally, when a letter arrived, the information was classified in the letter management office, and it was usually passed on to the relevant department or reported to a higher-up.
However, since it was important for the craftsman to not have anyone he knew, he sent a collateral elder from the Tang family to directly inform the military.
So, at that time, it was said that only three people in the Murim Alliance knew about this fact.
“Who on earth is Sejak?”
“It’s a mess.”
“Civil war?”
***
Since I also have a sense of humor, I didn’t bring up the topic of the blue stone.
I guess it was because I felt like today wasn’t the day.
There were dead people in the house, and there was talk of a slaughter, a blood feud, and sweeping things away, so I couldn’t say something tactless like, ‘I’m going to go catch that lizard.’
They say that if you were perceptive in your past life, you could get meat dishes at a temple, so you had to watch out for opportunities like this.
‘You have to look at the angles sharply. You can’t act without any sense. Right···.’
So after the conversation with the adults at the family dinner, I sat down in the pavilion with my older sister.
It was to check Bin’s condition again, as he had to stop earlier because of the craftsman.
“Cho, incense, bin, ja, come here.”
As I gently placed my hand on my sister’s wrist, who was stretching out her arms and calling out to the Wukongs, the guys started to move towards my sister, wriggling around.
My older sister asked with a relieved expression on her face at the sight of the guys.
“You said it wouldn’t hurt that much, right?”
“Maybe.”
The reason my older sister looked somewhat relieved was because of the story I told her.
The most common symptom of sick animals that do not communicate with their owners, such as insects, fish, and lizards, is fasting.
These guys usually go over to their older sister quickly when they’re hungry, but when they’re not, they don’t go over very well.
I don’t know if she thinks of me as her mother and thinks of her as her nanny, or if she thinks of her sister as her mother and it’s more comfortable for her because she continues to live in my body.
That’s why I told you that if Bin was sick, he wouldn’t go to his older sister to absorb her energy, and if not, he would quickly go to his older sister. Bin went to his older sister faster than anyone else.
That means it’s not a disease that would interfere with eating.
And no matter how much I looked at the antennae, it didn’t feel like a fungal disease.
The blackness wasn’t progressing any further.
It wasn’t like the shell was soft or the surface was strange or anything like that.
So the conclusion is that the color came up a bit early on its own.
When you raise anything, aren’t there some that grow a little faster?
Like having a girlfriend in elementary school when you never expected it?
So I nodded and answered.
“First of all, I wonder if it’s possible that the color came up a little early on its own. I think we can think of it that way.”
My sister spoke with a pleased expression on her face at my answer.
“Thank goodness. They are the three guardian dragons that guard the Tang Gate, so they can’t get sick. Oh! Now that I think about it, Bin-i might be a silent dragon!”
“Mukryong?”
“A black dragon. So, wouldn’t it be the only one that turns black? Then, I hope Cho becomes a white dragon and Hyang becomes a red dragon.”
I awkwardly laughed at my older sister’s words and clapped my hands in agreement.
“Well, that would be great···.”
Last time, when my older sister said that the Wukongs would become dragons, I asked the Great Lord of the Nine-Tailed and the warriors of the Poisonous Forces as I passed by.
I was wondering if my sister and grandfather were mistaken, or if everyone else thought the same.
““Of course. Of course, Little Dragon. It is a well-known fact that if the Wukongs live for a thousand years, they will become dragons.”
“Yes, I heard that the Wukongs ascended to the sky while biting the Yeouiju made from the inner shell.”
“That’s right. That’s why grandparents told us not to kill the raccoons that came into the house, but to let them out.”
What can I do when everyone else is like this except me?
If everyone except me says so, then even things that aren’t like that will become like that.
And if you raise it, it evolves into a dragon, so that’s good, it’s not a bad thing.
‘Yeah, well, the dragon is cooler than the fox.’
It was while I was waiting for my older sister to feed the Wukongs and looking at the sunset in the distance.
-Beep! Beep! Beep!
The sound of a signal from the rain, announcing a direct call from far away at the bottom of the mountain.
My sister and I looked at each other and then quickly flew outside.
Because the adults were still talking, we thought we should go.
The entrance to Gujinmun Gate, reached by flying like that.
About ten people wearing military uniforms with the word Peng (彭) embroidered on the left chest were waiting for us at the entrance to Gujinmun.
They are all big and bulky and look like cattle thieves or bandits.
And then I heard my older sister’s urgent voice confirming it.
[Ha, the head of the Hebei Peng family! Xiaolong, when talking to him, you shouldn’t be too concerned about etiquette or formality. Got it?]
‘What on earth is this?’
I didn’t understand why my older sister said that I should be polite or formal, but rather the opposite.
