How to Live as a Magician in the Martial Arts World Episode 79
Chapter 17 Sacheondangga (11)
Silence fell.
Jegal Hyunmong covered his face with a black veil and looked around the crowd.
‘I’ve said all I can say.’
It seemed like a good answer. He even surprised himself by how fluent his words were.
If we’re lucky, some people will be convinced by this, and if we’re even luckier, the controversy over the Nokrim Road Alliance will diminish.
Now it was time to wait for a reaction.
Dangjincheon has risen.
‘big.’
Although he was not very big, he felt like a giant had raised his body.
Tang Jin-cheon approached Jegal Hyun-mong without saying a word. His expression was expressionless, making it difficult to read.
Thud, thud.
Dang Jin-cheon, who had come close to his nose, clasped both hands together.
“I am impressed.”
“… … !”
“This party, as the head of the Sacheon Party, sought to pursue harmony in its own way, but seeing you today, I realized that I failed to pursue righteousness. Sacheon Party acknowledges your actions.”
Dang Jin-cheon said as he looked around.
“From today onwards, the Sacheondang family will recognize the title of the Immortal Return! If this person cannot receive the title of the Immortal Return, then who else can? What do you think?”
“I admit it too.”
Jeong Hye-sa-tae accepted Tang Jin-cheon’s words without even allowing Jegal Xuanmong a chance to intervene.
“As expected of his son, he is truly noble and has a high will.”
‘My father is not the kind of person who deserves such praise.’
What on earth happened between Jeong Hye-sa and her father that made her say something like that?
“What does your Majesty the Hyeon Geon Dojang think?”
“At least it doesn’t seem like he lied. Even if the author can keep half of what he said, I, Hyun-Geon, will acknowledge him.”
Hearing those words, Jegal Hyunmong felt an inexplicable sense of unease.
Looking at the atmosphere, it seems like things are going well. It seems like things are going well.
‘Isn’t this working out too well?’
What Jegal Hyunmong hoped for was to be convinced by saying, “Now that I hear it, it sounds plausible.” He did not hope for the powerful figures of the Sacheon martial arts world to praise him like this.
I felt a cool sensation.
‘It was too much.’
Zhuge Xuanmong realized his mistake.
In Sacheon, Wuhou’s love is not ordinary.
But he himself rashly defended himself by comparing it to two anecdotes, and this excessively heated the hearts of the Sacheon people.
“Teacher. Would you like to have a heart-to-heart talk about the direction in which the Sacheon martial arts world should move forward?”
“How could a person like that be alive? If you give me a seat even at the bottom, I would like to listen.”
“Haha, you are very humble.”
‘That’s not humility.’
It didn’t seem like it would be a good idea to be around the Sacheon Dang family for no reason.
Since I said everything I wanted to say, I thought I’d just stay a while and then leave.
Meanwhile, Dang Jin-cheon couldn’t help but feel admiration.
Originally, he wanted to use this opportunity to subjugate Jegal Hyunmong to the Sacheondang family.
However, Jegal Hyunmong impressed many people with his bold speech, and Tang Jincheon had no choice but to give up his idea.
Since he had shown such great cause, it was obvious that if the party tried to forcibly recruit him, it would have the opposite effect.
‘He is definitely not the culprit.’
Not just anyone can say that.
Carefully calculated words and actions.
The wisdom to know what kind of waves one’s words will cause.
Even the courage to stand firm in front of a large crowd of people.
‘A person of this kind is an ambitious person worth keeping close to. But he is definitely not someone who would rank below the Sacheondang family.’
I liked it.
A man should naturally have ambition.
Of course, Dang Jin-cheon also had ambitions.
The ambition to make Sacheondangga the best sega in the world!
However, this time, after looking into Jegal Hyunmong’s inner thoughts, I realized for the first time that my own ambitions were insignificant.
‘At that age, he’s seen and moved the world.’
If it were just words, my heart wouldn’t have fluttered this much.
Tang Jin-cheon really liked the young man next to him.
“Okay, let’s go.”
When Tang Jin-cheon personally lifted his sleeve and guided him to the highest seat, Jegal Hyun-mong could no longer refuse.
As he was walking, Jegal Hyeonmong suddenly looked at Danggon.
Dang-gon met her eyes and sent her a warm smile.
-This is all your fault. Do you admit it?
Hearing those words, Jegal Hyunmong tightly closed his eyes.

Usually, at Sacheon Dangga, after the meeting, the singers often have a banquet among themselves.
The work of the meeting is finished at the meeting, and the joy of concluding the event without any trouble is shared.

But the person being talked about in this episode was someone who wasn’t there.
“It was impressive.”
Although there was no subject in Dang Hwa-gun’s words, the people present knew who he was referring to.
They have seen many negotiating offices.
Even to them, the courage and determination that Jegal Hyunmong showed were truly worthy of emulation.
“I ended up in a lot of debt. This is the Sacheondang family.”
Since it was not an official setting, Dang Jin-cheon spoke to Dang Hwa-gun in a polite tone.
“Well, that’s true. It’s against the rules of a noble family to keep your mouth shut when you owe something.”
When I didn’t know his intentions, I was suspicious, but once my suspicions were gone, what remained was the pure kindness that Jegal Hyunmong showed to Sacheondangga.
The pure goodwill, different from Kang-ho’s sticky and calculating Eun-won, was enough to warm the hearts of the people of Sacheondangga, known as the most exclusive in the martial arts world.
Even if there was intention, it didn’t matter.
Just by providing the starting point for the reenactment of the two legends of the family, Jegal Hyunmong was qualified to be a guest of the Sacheondang family for the rest of his life.
“Our Sacheondang family will repay the favors we have received. We should think about compensation for it. Family head.”
“That is indeed so.”
Dang Jin-cheon nodded.
But it was difficult.
What kind of reward should we give to such a meaningful person?
At that moment, Danggon raised his hand.
“I see that Zhuge Xuanmong likes money. How about giving him gold and silver treasures, brother?”
“Stop talking nonsense, Danggon.”
“Yes, you little brat. What kind of nonsense are you talking about? How can someone with such lofty aspirations covet wealth? If we do that, the martial artists will point fingers at us.”
“no…….”
Dang-gon felt very wronged when he was scolded for just saying it as it was.
“No, you can be greedy for money. If your aspirations are high, wouldn’t you need a lot of money?”
“That’s not wrong. But you can’t just give them money without any consideration.”
Dang Jin-cheon shook his head.
“As always, wealth brings danger. Whether it be threats from outside or from within.”
When a good person suddenly gains a lot of wealth, many things are bound to change, whether he likes it or not.
Externally, there are those who approach you with the aim of gaining wealth. Internally, you may be swayed by the abundance of wealth and even your beliefs may be shaken.
Wouldn’t that be repaying a favor with revenge?
If I ever hear that Sacheondangga has corrupted the governor with money, I will be so ashamed that I can’t even raise my head!
“Then what do you plan to do?”
“Even if I give you wealth, it would be more appropriate to give it in a more natural way. I will put in a request to the Iron Flower Shop of the Nokrim Road Alliance. Dang Jung-hyeok, I heard that he used a method called the Dark Poison War to prevent the poison from leaking out.”
“… … Yes. That’s right.”
Dang Jung-hyuk couldn’t show his jealousy even here, so he answered like that.
“Good. Then, let’s ask Cheolhwabang to build a model building. Sir, I think we need to work with Dangga Chang. If it’s true that it blocks poison, then it’s a technology that Dangga must secure.”
“Huh, anyway, I wanted to see the skills of that little brat Ma Jin-kwang. I wonder what kind of talents he’d have acquired since he’d been hanging out with Jegal Hyun-mong for a long time.”
“Okay. So, how about leaving that tuning to Muhujaerim?”
“That’s right, that’s a good idea. He’ll be happy too. He’s someone who puts so much effort into everything, so he’ll definitely be itching to do something. In the past, Empress Wu was also the type of person who didn’t shy away from work!”
‘I think you’ll hate it.’
Danggon thought so, but did not open his mouth.
Even if I tell you, you won’t believe me anyway.
It wasn’t that his speaking ability was that weak, but he couldn’t help it.
It’s because Jegal Hyunmong spoke too well last time.
‘It would be nice if there was a Hwaryeong.’
Because I had put so much effort into the rankings, I regretted getting up early.
At that moment, Dang Cheong-ah began to express her opinion on behalf of Dang Hwa-ryeong.
“But I don’t think that’s enough, Father.”
“Of course I know. But that doesn’t mean I’ve fully repaid the debt.”
“How about this? I heard from Hwaryeong that Jegal Hyunmong has a strong desire for knowledge. Since he has given us his vision, shouldn’t we also give him corresponding knowledge?”
“Are you talking about passing on the family’s vision?”
“yes.”
Dang Cheong-ah nodded without a moment’s hesitation.
“Master Zhuge Liang’s knowledge is outstanding, and many people will seek him out in the future. If we want to continue interacting with such a person, shouldn’t we also present something that will pique his interest?”
At those words, Dang Jin-cheon nodded his head.
That’s quite a reasonable statement, isn’t it?
‘Cheongseong and Ami were also interested.’
If you think about it, it’s not something you can just sit still.
Dang Jin-cheon looked at Dang Hwa-gun.
The Tang army, who was smoking a cigarette, seemed to have already thought of something.
“I plan to teach you the mechanisms of the Tang family and how to make secret weapons. I think you’ll be satisfied since you’ve been curious about the structure and principles of secret weapons.”
“… … In the dark poison battle, I will teach you mixed poison.”
People were surprised by Dang Jung-hyeok’s words.
Dang Jung-hyuk, the embodiment of narcissism, is taking the time to teach me.
“You’re not trying to assassinate me, are you, Junghyuk?”
“What are you talking about when you say that to me? No matter what, I know how to tell right from wrong.”
“A person like that doesn’t drink poison or speak carelessly in meetings.”
“……anyway.”
Dang Jung-hyeok cut off the conversation with Dang Cheong-ah and spoke to Dang Jin-cheon.
“Honestly, he is much better at handling poison than I am. I want to learn his secrets, but the only thing I can offer in return is poison.”
The term ‘honoki’ literally means mixing poison with poison.
It’s not just about mixing and neutralizing. The vision of being able to create the desired effect while neutralizing is the Hondok of Sacheondangga.
Of course, it was the vision of the party and it was not easy to get into.
“Isn’t it too dangerous?”
“I heard that he taught Hwaryeong how to sprinkle poison powder. He also used sorcery to create something called blood poison wine with the inner layer of the human face pillar, so there shouldn’t be any danger.”
“It’s a poisonous drink. That’s also something that doesn’t make sense.”
Dang Jin-cheon nodded.
I was quite satisfied.
With this, Jegal Hyunmong will stay here for a while and personally experience how Sacheondangga repays his debt.

‘Let’s go home quickly.’
Jegal Hyunmong made that pledge.
What was your goal?
‘It was to rest comfortably.’
If others had heard this, they would have been shocked and asked, “Where is the crazy guy who comes to rest at Sacheondangga?” But Jegal Hyeonmong was sincere.
But, in reality, wasn’t it only for a day or two that you were able to rest comfortably?
After that, I kept getting caught up in something and when I came to my senses, even the famous martial artists were calling for the return of Muhu.
‘The future of the martial arts world is dark.’
Thinking like that, Jegal Hyunmong tried to pack his bags.
If you’re even a little late, something might happen again.
“Master Zhuge Liang. Are you there?”
“… … .”
“I know you’re here. I’ll go in.”
‘fu*k.’
A freckled maid came in and said to Zhuge Xuanmong.
“What are you doing now?”
“I’m getting ready to go home.”
“I see. But before that, the lord called me.”
The strength left Jegal Hyunmong’s hands.
