13. Princess of the Great Jegal (1)
13. Princess of the Great Jegal (1) – She’s such a great bitch.
“What is it? What’s going on?”
Heuntu looked at the tightly closed iron gate with a dumbfounded expression. Seolyeong, who had a feeling that something was seriously wrong, asked him.
“I don’t know. I heard that the master suddenly said that he would not accept any requests regardless of the conditions. There’s no way that a gentleman who loves money would do something like that······.”
“······what?”
At Heuntu’s words, Serin’s face suddenly became serious. It was because it was a familiar development.
“The timing is perfect, but still, would that girl be that kind of person······?”
Looking at that spirit, Mokjin asked.
“Does anything catch your eye?”
“······I have some guesses, but I’m not sure. It’s possible that the author, the Meister, was capricious, or something happened.”
“Are you talking about Jegal Hee by any chance?”
At Seolyeong’s words, Sunja asked with an equally serious expression. Instead of answering, Seolyeong nodded slightly.
“That’s the situation. How often has something like this happened?”
“When you say Jegal Hee, are you referring to the daughter of the Jegal family that we spoke about briefly before coming here?”
“yes.”
Jegal Hee. Jegal Se is the only daughter of the head of the household and a rising star who is aiming for the position of the head of the household by beating out other competitors with her outstanding martial arts skills.
It was said that she was so famous that she was nicknamed Baekseonmuhee (白扇武姬) because of her elegant appearance and martial arts skills using a white fan. At the time, I didn’t ask any further questions about Seolyeong’s unusually unpleasant reaction, but judging from her reaction, it seemed like there was something more to it than just family issues.
“What is the twist and turn of events that led to this?”
“······ha.”
At Mokjin’s question, Seolyeong let out a sigh as if the ground was falling apart.
“There’s no twists and turns. If there was a story, it wouldn’t be unfair. That bitch just hates me to death. She’ll sabotage everything if she can.”
“slander?”
Sunja answered, gritting her teeth in an unusual manner.
“They’re really vicious. There were several opportunities for Wang Unni to upgrade her internal energy drive, but somehow they found out and at first they had people steal or destroy her internal energy drive, and later they even spread rumors to the underworld businessmen of Totuga that if they did anything while Wang Unni was getting her internal energy drive surgery, they’d be very rewarded.”
Internal drive transplant surgery is a major surgery that involves removing part of the digestive organ and transplanting the internal drive. No matter how much the world has improved these days, even amateur doctors can complete most surgeries without problems with the help of AI, but if they are determined and try to do something, there is no way to stop them.
“Usually, the internal energy drive transplant surgery is done by the sect you belong to or is left to an expert, but in your case, you can’t do that. And you can’t join the Samgeukhoe either.”
Since such rumors have spread among the industry, it is impossible to trust anyone, whether they are Totu or not. Even if they are licensed transplant surgeons, there is no repercussion if they report the death during surgery. Even if they have some reputation, in the end, Seolyeong is just a ronin without any affiliation.
If even the experts can’t be trusted, who can you trust? It’s not for nothing that Seolyeong seeks out master craftsmen or craftsmen of similar level. If you’ve reached that level, petty requests won’t work.
“That’s not all. When they receive a request, they sometimes find out about it and try to sabotage it, or they even use people to spread false information on purpose.”
Mokjin frowned after hearing the whole story.
“That’s a really dirty trick. Are you going to leave such a monster alone?”
“Because she’s a nice and pretty newcomer on the outside. She’s not stupid enough to ruin her own reputation or leave evidence out in the open.”
“Can’t you solve it by force?”
It was a frustrating story from Mokjin’s perspective. In fact, during his past days as Cheonma, he often struck down enemies with force without much regard for justification.
But that wasn’t the case for Serin.
“If that happens, would I be treated like this?”
Seolyeong responded to Mokjin’s words with a sharp tone. It may be a hurtful story, but if she were to fight Jegalhee, she would be the one to lose.
The scheming is messy, but objectively speaking, the difference in skill between Jegal Hee and Seolyeong is overwhelming. Jegal Hee, who trained in martial arts with the full support of Sega since childhood, and Seolyeong, who barely made ends meet with second-rate martial arts, cannot even be placed on the same level. Even if Seolyeong’s talent surpasses Jegal Hee’s.
“Is Zhuge Liang involved in this matter?”
“I didn’t step forward directly. But that doesn’t mean I’m restraining that Jegal Hee bitch.”
Seolyeong shook her head in response to Mokjin’s question. She was a martial artist and barely managed to survive without anything. It didn’t seem worth paying attention to her.
“Tsk tsk. Those things called political parties······.”
“If you don’t know about the Gudaemun faction, what kind of faction is the Odaesega? They just don’t do anything bad, so they treat them like a faction.”
“But isn’t it too early to jump to conclusions?”
As the story progressed towards the idea that Jegal Hee was behind this incident, Sunja spoke to lighten the mood.
“The opponent is a top-level craftsman, one of the best in the Qigong studio. He is not an opponent that Jegal Hee can do anything about.”
“Even if he can’t do it, can’t his family do it?”
“Isn’t Sega the one that has directly stepped forward until now?”
“That’s true, but doesn’t that sly bitch know we’ve been here all this time? I think she’s right. I have a hunch.”
“Wait, wait a minute.”
Another person who had been quietly listening to the conversation, Huntuga, suddenly joined the conversation.
“Are you saying that the Jegal family is involved in the current situation? Baekseonmuhee Jegalhee Yeohyeop is in conflict with Sojo Yeomhwanachal?”
“That girl is a concubine, so why am I a young lady? Do you want to get behind her? And it’s not certain yet.”
“I’m sorry, but if it’s true that Jegal Se-ga is involved, then I’m in a very difficult situation. I’m a member of the Gae-gae faction. If there’s a problem with someone from the same faction, a disciplinary committee will be convened.”
Heun-tuga said with a serious expression, as if he was really in trouble. It was an absurd thing to say to Seryeong.
“Hey, it’s the gossip of the martial arts world that you guys like so much, so why are you leaving it out like that? Shouldn’t you attack it instead? Let’s take this opportunity to bring up the controversy over the character of that vixen Jegal Hee. With a title like ‘The Reality of Baekseonmuhee, Who Has Maliciously Bullied Her Peerless Martial Arts People for Years!'”
“That’s when I’m not involved! And if you mess with a family like Zhuge Liang, it can really ruin your life.”
“Oh really? So I guess I was really easy?”
Seolyeong muttered ominously, placing her hand on her sword. But this time, she did not back down even if it meant getting hit, and instead stepped forward with her eyes wide open.
The atmosphere was so tense that it seemed like there would be fistfights, if not knife fights. The one who sorted out the situation was Mokjin, who kept his mouth shut for a moment.
“Someone is coming towards us. Maybe they are behind this.”
The group’s gazes gathered along the small street that Mokjin was looking at, and several people were approaching them from afar. Seolyeong, who had strained her eyes to see the person walking in front of them, cursed softly.
“f*ck, I knew it.”
I don’t know where the bad relationship started.
I can only guess that there must have been something that happened when she was very young, before the Sacheondang family was destroyed.
To be honest, there’s no way I could remember something that happened so long ago, even after more than twenty years have passed.
But there must have been something. Otherwise, Jegal-hee would be a psychopath who can hate people for no reason.

The important thing was that she was a direct relative of the head of the household and the same age as Seolyeong, and he hated her to death.
When I was very young, I didn’t feel that malice. Serin’s childhood was a series of struggles to survive in the dark group called Samgeukhoe.
But who would have thought that when she became an adult and entered the world of martial arts, there would be someone who had harbored a hatred for her for over ten years? In fact, Seolyeong had no interest in her other than the fact that she was a member of the Jegal family.
Jegal Hee was smart, persistent, and also had power. Whenever she forgot, she would show up and interfere with or twist Seolyeong’s work.
No matter how uninterested you were, if something like that happens three or four times, you’ll start to develop interest where you didn’t have before. Of course, in a bad way.
If someone does something that makes you hate them, isn’t it only natural to hate them wholeheartedly after understanding their intentions? It goes without saying that it goes without saying that they are from the family of your enemy.
So, as much as Jegalhee hated her, Seolyeong also detested her.
But in the end, there was always someone who would laugh, and there was always someone who would swallow their anger and grind their teeth.
Just like now.
“Oh my. I didn’t expect to see you in a place like this.”
“Ah, I finally get to see that face.”
Seolyeong didn’t bother to hide her rising irritation and put her hand on her forehead. Ever since I came here, I tried my best not to run into that damn woman, but we ended up meeting like this. There was no relationship as bad as this.
No, strictly speaking, it wasn’t a coincidence. I don’t know for sure, but Jegal Hee must have let go the moment he heard that I had come to this qigong studio. If I had to correct it, it would be more correct to call it a design rather than a fate.
Jegal Hee, wearing a white dress as pure as snow, was a beautiful woman with an elegant beauty that seemed to have burst out of the realm of beauty. The only flaw was the cold hostility in her gaze as she looked at Se-ryeong.
She is like a fox. That was Mok-jin’s first impression of Jegal-hee. Certainly, just by looking at her appearance, she seemed like she would be the complete opposite of Se-ryeong.
Jegalhee glanced at Mokjin, Sunja, and Heuntuga standing next to Seolyeong and opened his mouth.
“I heard the news. I heard you got lucky and got something great this time?”
Hidden in the clear voice, like rolling jade beads, was a feeling of extreme contempt. Seolyeong frowned.
“The news comes quickly. You’re not a stalker, so how long are you going to keep living like that? Wouldn’t it be better if you and I just lived our lives without caring about each other? Grow up.”
“Huh. How could I ignore something as fun as you? It’s so much fun to see you struggle and not lose heart even when you’re being treated like that.”
The face of Huntu-ga turned pale at the warm scene of openly exchanging harsh words. It was not that he was not a big shot, but that he might become the head of the Jegal family. Curiosity aside, this place felt like a bed of thorns.
“Oh, I’m not interested in the princess’s perversions. I’m a bit busy right now. So let’s pretend we didn’t see each other and go our separate ways. Okay?”
“I’m busy too. I have a Future Segae Society meeting so I don’t have time to take care of you.”
“That’s good. Then I’m going. Bye, adieu, sayonara.”
Although I had my suspicions, I couldn’t just ask if it was my doing without even the slightest clue. Se-ryeong turned around, blatantly showing signs of trying to avoid the situation.
First of all, before finding out the whole story, it would be bad to provoke that woman unnecessarily. And above all, the situation of dealing with that woman itself was unbearably unpleasant.
But it seemed that Jegal Hee had no intention of letting Seolyeong go.
“I can’t just send you away. It’s been a long time since we last saw each other, so why are you leaving without saying anything?”
“······Is she really crazy?”
“My group is approaching from over there. We don’t have much time, so let’s do something simple without the hassle of looking at each other.”
There was nothing more to hear. Seolyeong nodded to the group and walked in the opposite direction.
No, I tried to move my feet.
If only I hadn’t listened to what Jegal Hee said.
“Now that we’ve got a good core, all that’s left is to commission a good craftsman to make it, right?”
For example, the owner of the iron cage in front of your eyes.
Before she could finish speaking, Serin’s sword shot towards Jegal Hee like a ray of light.
information)
For about five years after Seolyeong came out to the world of martial arts, Jegalhee used every means to sabotage Seolyeong’s work whenever he could. In the process, he was so meticulous that he never left behind a single piece of direct evidence, and he always metaphorically provoked Seolyeong in front of her. However, for some reason, he never openly attacked Seolyeong or offered a private bounty, so Seolyeong could not find a reason to be completely hostile.
Seolyeong has not been able to replace her internal energy drive because of Jegalhee’s tricks. It is because she cannot trust the person performing the surgery. The reason Seolyeong set the absurd goal of a high-level internal energy drive at the time was to be free from Jegalhee’s tricks.
Seolyeong’s martial arts skills are incomparable to Jegalhee’s. As the second generation of a prestigious family, Jegalhee received gifted education and has outstanding martial arts talent. Even among the second generation, Jegalhee’s martial arts skills are strong enough to easily rank among the top. However, Seolyeong’s martial arts talent itself is higher.
Unlike Gupa Ilbang, which is clearly respected by the people of the martial arts world as a legitimate faction, Sega is nominally a legitimate faction, but is not recognized as a legitimate faction as Gupa Ilbang. This is probably due to the strong secular atmosphere, the closed nature centered on blood relations, and the corporate nature.
From the perspective of the Huntu family, it is true that if trouble were to arise with the Jegal family, it would be a very difficult situation. Although their presence is different, the Jegal family is also a major pillar of the Jeongpa faction, and it is a very large sect. It is not an opponent that a single Gaebodo can touch and deal with.
Even if a public opinion war were to be waged, the possibility of bringing down Jegal Hee would be very slim. This is because Jegal Se-ga’s public relations department is by no means an easy opponent.
The ill-fated relationship between Jegal Hee and Seolyeong has been going on for a very long time. However, Seolyeong has long since forgotten about it, and before Jegal Hee shot her, she had no other thoughts than that Jegal Se was a bastard.
Jegal Hee is pretty, strong, smart, and even comes from a wealthy family, so she is very popular on Gangho.net. Her fan club is also quite large.
Jegal Hee reveals his true nature only in front of Seolyeong and provokes her very openly. Of course, he is taking precautions to prevent recording or filming.
