How to Live as a Magician in the Martial Arts World Episode 71
Chapter 17 Sacheondangga (3)
The next day.
Jegal Hyunmong opened the cage of the first line.
Because I couldn’t concentrate at all because he kept holding onto the iron bars and sending me pleading looks all day long.
“Now, come out. Just remember this: You must not make any noise. Do you understand?”
Chosun nodded with clear and pure eyes.
His eyes seemed to be telling him to trust himself, but Jegal Hyunmong did not believe him.
No matter how cute his appearance may be, wasn’t Chosun a descendant of the civet that once reigned as the king of the mountains?
‘Well, now that we’re bound by a contract, I guess I can suppress any trouble that arises.’
Jegal Hyunmong held out his hand. Then Chosun quickly climbed up his sleeve and wrapped it around his neck.
“Your Majesty, have you finished preparing to go out?”
“yes.”
The door opened and a freckled maid appeared.
Her eyes widened slightly when she saw the raccoon perched on Jegal Hyunmong’s shoulder.
“The raccoon… is cute.”
“He is fierce by nature. Don’t be fooled.”
‘… … Then why are you wearing it around your neck?
The maid nodded without showing it, even though she thought Jegal Hyunmong was strange.
“The ladies have just arrived. I will take you outside.”
Today is the day to go to Dangga-chang along Danghwa-ryeong.
Jegal Hyunmong was about to take a step without thinking… …and ended up doing so.
‘Ladies? Putting aside whether Lady Dang is a lady or not… … .’
Jegal Hyunmong asked back, calmly thinking of being rude to Dang Hwa-ryeong.
“Ladies? Who else is here besides Lady Dang? Oh, I see. Is it by any chance Lady Dang Cheong-ah, your older sister?”
“also……!”
‘I said it for nothing.’
When the maid’s eyes sparkled again, Jegal Hyunmong clicked his tongue inwardly.
It’s not that I’m trying to show off.
It just came out naturally as we were talking, so I couldn’t help it.
As Jegal Hyunmong walked outside, guided by the maid, he thought about Dang Cheong-ah.
‘Dangcheong-ah.’
The genius of Sacheondangga.
A rising star who is nicknamed Dokbong.
She was a female high school student who broke the wall of peak performance at a similar age to Dang Hwa-ryeong and was called a true genius.
Even Cheon Yeo-hyang, who is said to be one of the best swordsmen in the Murim Alliance, reached her peak at a later age than her.
It was said that, unlike Dang Hwa-ryeong, he was a rare great man in Sacheon Dangga who was very kind, considerate, and friendly to everyone.
‘I’m looking forward to it.’
* * *
“Are you Jegal Hyeonmong?”
That Dang Cheong-ah was looking at Jegal Hyunmong with sharp eyes like a magic wand.
Jegal Hyunmong thought to himself, seeing that it looked unfriendly to anyone.
‘Thoughtful and kind, it’s all a lie.’
As expected, rumors about Kangho are not to be trusted.
“Sister.”
“Hwaryeong, stay still. You are being deceived.”
“Are you saying I’m being deceived?”
Jegal Hyunmong tilted his head.
“I have been deceived many times, but I have never deceived anyone else.”
“Zhegal. You keep your mouth shut.”
‘Isn’t that too harsh?’
Jegal Hyunmong kept his mouth shut at Dang Hwaryeong’s rebuke, but pouted slightly.
Meanwhile, the sisters started fighting.
“I told you, that’s not it, really!”
“Then explain. Why did you delay returning to your family even though you knew that the family lineage war was about to begin and why did you delay returning to your family even though you received my letter telling you to do so?”
“that…….”
“It’s obvious. That man must have been roasting you. You have such a pure and innocent side, so it would have been easy for you to be fooled.”
Jegal Xuanmong wanted to say something, but he didn’t open his mouth because of what Tang Hua Ling had just said.
When I just smiled, Tang Hwa-ryeong’s ears turned red and she said.
“Hey, don’t laugh.”
“No, you can’t even smile?”
“Seriously, shut up. And sis. That’s not it. You don’t believe the rumors, do you? That guy hypnotized me using some weird spell or something.”
‘No, there’s a rumor like that?’
If it was just a word meant to erase a smile, it would be effective.
I was just sitting there, and someone was just hanging around on my own, so I have to hear that!
“I heard that even Miss Sima Lin of the Sima family changed her personality a bit after meeting the author. She became gentler.”
“It’s a good change!”
“Hwaryeong, you’re being deceived. If it were you in the past, you would have returned to Sacheondangga the moment you received this letter from this older sister and had a good time together. But that wasn’t the case. Why? Because that guy used a strange method to not send you away.”

“I said no!”
“Then refute me. Is it false that the author performs all sorts of strange magic?”
Dang Hwa-ryeong kept his mouth shut.
Jegal Xuanmong was dumbfounded.
“No, what if I keep my mouth shut there?”
But Dang Hwa-ryeong also felt wronged.
Doesn’t what Jegal Hyunmong is doing seem like sorcery… …!
“In the first place, the nickname itself is suspicious. Muhoujaerim? How can that be such an absurd and crazy title? It’s clearly an absurdly exaggerated nickname. It must have been created by blowing up something trivial. You shouldn’t be swayed by such empty names.”
Zhuge Xuanmong was amazed.
“Miss Dang. Your older sister seems to be a very wise person who is not swayed by false rumors!”
“You please shut up.”
“… … .”
Jegal Hyunmong was slightly hurt.
Anyone would feel the same way if they were to compliment their friend’s family and then suddenly get cursed at.
“Anyway, that’s not really true! Sister. Am I really that angry?”
“Are you angry? You, at me?”
A crack appeared on Dang Cheong-ah’s beautiful face.
It was like hearing that the world was going to end tomorrow.
At the same time, he turned his ghostly face towards Jegal Hyunmong.
“Oh, how did you! How did you do that to Hwaryeong!”
‘No, what did I do?’
“Kwang!”
Dang Hwa-ryeong ran over and touched Dang Cheong-ah’s acupuncture point.
Although he was a master of the highest level, he was so careless that he ended up getting stabbed in the back.
When Dang Cheong-ah’s mouth became stiff, Dang Hwa-ryeong grabbed Jegal Hyunmong’s head with one hand and led him away.
“Hey, let’s go… … .”
“Yeah.”
“I won’t stop you from following me either, Sister. If you keep talking nonsense, I’ll get really angry. Got it? If you got it, nod your head once.”
Nod.
When Dang Cheong-ah nodded, Dang Hwa-ryeong let out a long sigh.
And so, the first outing at Sacheondangga began.
* * *
‘It’s wide.’
When I heard of Sacheondangga, I knew it wasn’t just any ordinary house or estate, but when I actually saw it, it was as big and wide as an ordinary village.
It was quite a walk just to get to Dangga-chang.
‘It’s hard.’
What was difficult was that I hated walking itself.
Secondly, other external factors were difficult.
“Miss Tang, Miss Tang. It seems like your older sister is sending me death threats from behind.”
“It’s not a mistake.”
“… … .”
Dang Cheong-ah was following the two from behind, sending them a look that seemed like it was going to kill them.
Of course, she was holding back to some extent because if she, who was a master of the highest order, really shot at Zhuge Xuanmong, he would not be safe, but it was also true that it was not pleasant because it felt like someone was stabbing her with a knife.
Then, Jegal Hyunmong sent a spirit to the first son of the king at the nape of his neck.
‘There’s nothing you can do. Just try to do something. You were born with a cute appearance, so try to act cute.’
“Squeak… … !”
Chosun was very proud of Zhuge Liang’s instructions.
He is a descendant of the King of the Mountains. How could he, someone like him, act cute and lose face?
… … It was a bit burdensome to say that the murderous intent pouring down on Jegal Hyunmong, the first-timer.
I had no choice but to raise one hand and greet Dang Cheong-ah like a human would do.
“Q?”
“… … !”
The murderous aura coming from behind has weakened slightly.
But the discomfort still did not decrease.
This is because this time, attention was pouring in from all over the surrounding area.
“I don’t know if it’s because I’m feeling down, but it feels like people are looking at me.”
“That’s not an illusion either.”
“But that’s strange. This is Sacheondangga. No matter how much my strange reputation spreads, I don’t think anyone would know that it’s me… …?”
Why is so much attention being paid to Jegal Hyunmong when he didn’t even mention his name?
“Of course it would be like that since you and my sister are walking together in front and behind each other.”
“Even so, how could you know that it was me?”
“Oh, and the maids were spreading rumors that the Empress Dowager had come to Sacheondangga.”
‘That freckled maid!’
Zhuge Xuanmong let out a sigh.
I decided to speak up even if it was a bit verbose.
I’m worried that people will make the mistake because I skipped over the middle part because it’s annoying to explain.
Zhuge Xuanmong said, pressing his pounding head.
“… … Okay, I understand. But even so.”
Even if we give them the benefit of the doubt and know that he is the second coming of the King, they still look at us with suspicion.
Jegal Hyunmong turned his gaze towards the direction that was sending him such a sharp gaze.
Somewhere, a group of Taoist priests wearing clothes very similar to the one Cheongsong was wearing were looking at Jegal Hyunmong with fervent interest.
‘I must be mistaken.’
“The Cheongseong faction is a huge and prestigious political faction. Surely you’re not looking at me like this because of what happened the other day?”
“That’s why. The rumor spread quite a bit. It’s a rumor that the small and medium-sized Pyo-guk led by Mu-hu Jae-rim won against the Jin-ryeong Pyo-guk, which even included disciples of the Cheongseong faction.”
“Why are such rumors spreading?”
“No, isn’t it strange that it doesn’t spread?”
Zhuge Xuanmong, who had nothing to say, turned his gaze to another direction.
The ones who received that gaze were nuns wearing monk’s robes, and when Jegal Hyunmong cast his gaze at them, they began to clearly show caution while holding the hilt of their swords.
It’s a gaze that seems to be looking at some kind of dirty enemy.
“… …Can you tell me that they are not Amipa?”
“You’re from Amipa.”
“It seems like you are very wary of me.”
“There are rumors going around that you used some strange magic to bewitch me.”
“Miss Dang. The murderous intent from your older sister has grown stronger again. Please explain quickly that it is you, not me, who is forcing me around.”
“Oh, I don’t like it. It’s so gross.”
“What are you talking about? I am the Lady Dang’s guest, and I have the right to be kept safe.”
“You are truly a consistent guy.”
Dang Hwa-ryeong snickered.
To be honest, I had been strangely annoyed until just a moment ago, but the lump in my chest seemed to have melted away as I heard that Jegal Hyunmong was being teased with words.
